Sam Sebastian Somatics

Sam Sebastian Somatics Transformative Bodywork is a collaborative, client-centered experience. A dynamic blend of Esalen® I like to think of it as a dance.

Transformative Bodywork is a collaborative client centered experience between the massage therapist & the client. I start every massage by connecting to my client’s energy center and with the ringing of a Crystal Singing Bowl. This sends out a vibration that is both soothing and healing. The foundation of my Bodywork is Esalen Massage & Deep Bodywork. Esalen Massage incorporates long integrative s

trokes, creating a sensation that the body is whole rather than segmented into parts, the slow rhythmic strokes allow my clients bodies & psyche to flow in and out of consciousness, and if requested, for me to perform Deep Bodywork. We all hold a lot of stress in our shoulders, necks, backs, hips, and so many other places throughout our bodies. If you are needing a massage that will increase your range of motion and release the tension your body is holding, come see me. In addition to Esalen Massage & Deep Bodywork, I incorporate Sports Massage, Stretching, Rocking, Compression, and Energy Work.

Join and me for our next Intro to Esalen Massage for Men Workshop on Saturday, March 29th & Sunday, March 30th! Our workshop is suitable for men, both beginners & massage professionals, who want to learn the art of the Esalen® approach to massage. Part of why we do this work is to destigmatize touch between men and create a container to come together and support each other on healing journeys collectively.

This class will offer 12 hrs of CEUs for practitioners.

It was an incredible honor to teach alongside at in North Carolina, our 4th Intro to Esslen Massage for Men! I am deeply grateful to the men who showed up with open hearts to learn massage and engage in meaningful Men’s work. Your presence and dedication are truly inspiring.

As Robert Bly said in Iron John, “Where a man’s wound is, that is where his genius will be.” Together, we are not just healing but also uncovering the unique strengths within us all. Thank you for being part of this transformative journey 🙏🏽🫶🏽🤲🏽✨💙

Hello, fellow bodyworkers, massage therapists, and wellness practitioners! I moved back to San Francisco and will soon be leasing a beautiful office space to do bodywork near the Castro district (16th & Sanchez). The room is on the second floor with large west-facing windows/view of the street below. It is 12x14, has natural wood floors, lots of natural light, high ceilings, and shares a waiting room with other wellness practitioners and therapists.

I am looking for 1-2 practitioners who want to share the office, renting it from me for a negotiated term (preferably 6 months to a year). Over the next couple of weeks, I am interviewing prospective tenants as I paint and set up the space, looking to structure the time-share in an ongoing, reasonably predictable way. If you or someone you know is interested, please get in touch with me ASAP by text @ 415-370-3918 or email at Sam@SamSebastian.com.

Ideal for bodyworkers, massage therapists, somatic practitioners, etc. Looking forward to connecting!
