Sports Massage

Sports Massage works deep in the muscles, realigning the muscle fibers and connective tissue, flushing away toxins. Regular sessions will increase joint mobility and flexibility, and reduce the risk of injury during exercise. I combine stretching and mobilization with deeper tissue work to improve performance.

Pre/Post Natal Massage

As the body goes through the transformative process to give birth, it loves and needs touch. There is nothing that supports mom and baby more than massage. It has been my honor to share this work since I first began massage therapy in 1998.  The work can be as gentle or deep as desired, all from the side lying position.

This is an area of the body that needs more care and devotion offered its way. Come in for a strictly above the shoulder session where I will focus specifically on your neck, jaw, (can include inside of the mouth) and head. Combination of Structural Integration and Cranio Sacral Therapy. Helps to realign the temporo-mandibular joint, work out migraine headache patterns, accumulated stress patterns and chronic neck and shoulder pain. Amazing! 1 hour session.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is similar to Swedish, but the longer strokes applied are used with deeper pressure which is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia. (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints) Deep Tissue restores and rejuvenates muscular elasticity and helps build stronger immune function.

Happy Clients

Thanks so much Akasha for all your healing work!  You bring a calm peaceful energy to my space (She does outcalls as well).  Always a perfect balance of pressure and coaching to help my body release tension and find its balance.  You are a true therapist!

Akasha is an extremely skilled therapist! I've had several sessions with her now, and each time I receive my body goes through a powerful cleansing process. I've experienced both her deep tissue work as well as more over all general body maintenance. She has a cultivated and intuitive way of reading my body. I can sense her anatomical knowledge as she moves along edges, origins, and points of insertion of my muscles. Not only is she a gifted therapist, but she is also a lovely human being with lots of knowledge related to healing. Thank you, Akasha! I look forward to our next session!

I have been seeing Akasha over the years for structural integration body work.  I was a violinist for 15 years, plus was involved in various atheletics, so I have some old injuries that cause me discomfort and pain.  Sessions with Akasha have helped my posture, alleviated pain and helped release tension.  I did her 10 series and found that really helpful, as each session kind of built upon the last, and I felt better and better each time I saw her.  She's professional and personable, and her Oakland office is beautifully decorated and filled with plants.  She also came to my home with her massage table a few times.  I really recommend receiving a massage from her to reduce pain, allevaite tension, relax body and mind, and feel great!

I have just completed the 10 sessions of structural integration with Akasha and I am so pleased. At the start, my body was feeling so out of whack I could not even stand comfortably in mountain pose. Now my stance is much more comfortable and my body is in a much greater alignment. With a gentle touch, Akasha still manages to work deep into the muscles; she is both intuitive and knowledgeable. I would recommend the full 10 sessions to achieve the feeling of a complete new body!

I have had 11 sessions with Akasha and I enjoy every one. I came to her for bodywork​ that will help and heal my ongoing​ chronic pain. She offered the Rolfing Ten Series and it was exactly what I needed. She gives intense, thoughtful bodywork, and is great at communication​​ with me about my needs, her intentions, and the results. I have seen her at her lovely studio and also in my own home. Highly​ recommended​!

My job is can be very physically demanding, not to mention stressful. I find that bodywork allows my body the added push to recover from a long bout of work. With that in mind I highly recommend Akasha for your bodywork. She is capable, trained, and versed in multiple platforms of spiritually and body recovery.

I have received several treatments from Akasha. The commitment to 10 treatments has proven well worthwhile. A wonderful thing happens when your body is skillfully guided and allowed to release its holding patterns. When the posture is freed from burdens that inhibit range of motion and breathing (and life) just gets easier. Akasha has helped me with this, I highly recommend her and her healing work. She is a great gift.

“Since 1998 I’ve experienced many bodywork sessions from various practitioners. Akasha outshines them all with her presence and skill in going to the edge of deep tissue work without causing soreness. Our last session she included NLP that made a profound shift in my being. I wholeheartedly recommend Akasha for optimal integrative healing.”

“I’ve had lower back/glute pain for years. Often it’s so deep that massage therapists can’t really get to it, and I’ve been to many. Akasha uses a different style that totally worked for me. Instead of having me lie on my back, she had me lie on my side. From that angle, she was able to find and work on the source of the pain in my glutes. She also had a good sense of touch and a nicely flowing style. I highly recommend her!”

Adam C., San Francisco, CA

“I first met Akasha when we hired her to work in our office in 2014, providing regular chair massage to our entire team. She has a special quality that allows her to create movement and relaxation with a minimum of focused, deep touch. I’ve since had her do massage for me individually out of the office, and really appreciate Akasha’s ability to integrate what she already knows about me and my body with whatever my current issue is – and she feels like a true partner in my health. Highly recommend her!”

Kate C., Berkeley, CA

“I have been going to Akasha for almost two years and have been very happy with the results. I play competitive tennis and often have very tight quads, hammies etc. She has consistently relieved these and I walk out of her studio feeling like a new man. My knees would be so much dead weight without her. She is also very professional, timely, and sympathetic–good experience for sure.”

John Z., Orinda, CA

“I have had many people work on me over the years and most have been nearly the same every time. Akasha has her own way about working on the body. She has a confidence and strength that is rare and very special.  From the first touch I feel safe and her intuition is always right on.”

David S., Oakland, CA
Tony L.

“I have been seeing Akasha for a few years now and she knows my sore spots better than I do!    She really does care about well being of her clients and it shows in her work.   Although I usually enjoy a 60-90 minute full body massage with her, she has an expansive background in massage therapy and healing.  Her office is private, quiet and clean….a perfect setting to get your body worked on.   She is also very flexible with her schedule too. Highly recommended!”

Tony L., Oakland, CA

“Sessions with Akasha have been greatly beneficial. Her structural work is deeply therapeutic and her knowledge of the body has been highly informative. I feel better, lighter and calmer every time I get a treatment from Akasha
