Affirming massage therapy for those seeking muscular pain relief, recovery, & relaxation. I am a muscle nerd. My hands just know where to go and what to do.

My name is Krystal (she/they), and I am an Alameda based certified massage therapist who enjoys helping my clients find relief and achieve their therapeutic goals in order to get back to thriving. I offer affirming and body positive massage therapy for people seeking muscular pain relief. I have always found fascination with the human body and have always enjoyed tactile exploration. I spent 8 yea

rs growing while working with chiropractic patients. I have often worked with injuries such as repetitive stress injuries, those in post-surgery rehab, and those who’ve been in car accidents. I have experience working with and guiding post-surgery scar tissue adhesions (including transition related top surgery) and I have seen the incredible results that can occur with the right bodywork. My curiosity and passion for bodywork means I am adept at finding problem areas quickly and efficiently. I have an intuitive approach to finding knots in tight muscles and connective tissue. I am admittedly a little heavy-handed at times, but since I know everyone is a little different, I will always adjust to accommodate each client's needs accordingly. I enjoy serving the general public. And…
I aim to be adamantly inclusive of my fellow LGBTQ+ POC communities.

Given the immense pain going on in the world, a lot of us are holding excess stress and grief in our bodies. Self-care is an important part of resistance, and whether you book a massage or not, I want to encourage all of us to care for ourselves and our communities during this time.

I’ll be sharing resources in stories throughout the week and am sending you all love and care during these challenging times. 🤲💜

Hey all! 😁 Did you know I have lacrosse balls available for purchase for your convenience? 🟣

I recommend self massage with these little guys to many of my clients, and I use them frequently myself.

Here is a quick video demo on using one in the traps/rhomboid region.
Using the wall or the floor to roll on, place ball in the area of focus, and use your legs to move your body up and down and side to side while guiding the ball along the muscle group. Move your arm around and/or turn your neck to the opposite side for a good pin-and-stretch effect.

Was this helpful for you? Let me know in the comments! 👇

That’s all for now! 👋 See you soon! 💜

Over the last couple of years, I have added new techniques and instruments to my practice, including myofascial cupping and scraping techniques. In June 2023, I took a Graston Technique intensive, and in April 2024 I trained in myofascial cupping. Using these new instruments and tools has added depth to my practice. The results can differ from manual massage therapy as they help me access areas of the soft tissue that may be harder to reach with my hands alone. For example, some muscle fibers don’t want to be squished, and it can be both painful and ineffective to try. Sometimes they need to be untangled, “brushed”, or lifted. That would be when cupping or scraping would come into play.

To read more about both myofascial cupping and scraping, how I use them, what they do, and how you could benefit from them, check out my latest blog post:

Hello friends!👋

I want to share that I am incredibly grateful to be able to do the kind of work that I do, and grateful for all the wonderful clients who put have their faith in me for all these years. Not everyone gets to do a job they love, and I get to be someone that says that I love mine. It gives me deep fulfillment and satisfaction each time I help someone to feel better in their body, and I’m grateful every day I get to do it.

So to all of you who have put their faith in me and given me an opportunity to be part of your wellness journey… thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜🤲
I look forward to seeing you at the office.

Take good care of yourselves! ❤️‍🩹
