[back] Marla Kaya is a Reiki Master Teacher and a Certified Acupressure Practitioner from the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley. She has been practicing Reiki since 2002.
"Rei-ki" can be described as "universal life energy". Reiki is a natural and simple healing method where the laying on of hands directs the healing energy into the body of the receiver. Reiki energy is intelligent and will go where it is needed the most. The Reiki practitioner simply acts as a conduit for the Reiki energy to pass through the body so the healing work can take place. Reiki is a highly powerful vibrating force, or light energy and it is profoundly healing on all levels.
Some of the benefits of Reiki are: relieves pain, reduces stress, energizes the whole body, clears toxins, strengthens the immune system, improves intuition, helps promote meditative states, encourages deep relaxation, and balances the body holistically. Reiki is always beneficial!
Marla offers Reiki healing sessions, Reiki crystal healing sessions, Reiki classes and she leads a monthly New Moon Reiki Circle.
Please contact her for more information.

[back] Gabriel Posner practices various modalities of massage as well as somatic techniques in the style of Thomas Hanna.
The focus of Somatic Bodywork is helping you regain control over your muscles and body. Each session is different depending on what you are looking for and what you are presenting, but generally, passive and active techniques are used to free tight, contracted muscles and joints leading to increased range of motion and decreased pain and tension. This work is great for dancers, bodyworkers, athletes, and anyone who is ltrying to live without pain.
But don't take his word for it. Check out his yelp reviews to see what other people are saying and feel free to call or email to discuss specific problems or to book a session.

[back] Pamela Rosin Together we will find creative inroads for unwinding patterns of tension, pain or disconnect. You'll get relief from chronic and acute physical pain resulting from repetitive stress, sports injuries, car accidents, and more. I also hold space for emotional charge to come up and facilitate its release. I work with trauma from abuse, depression, anxiety, or unknown sources.
"Pamela's like a detective--she seeks out the injury, the tensions, the imbalanced and out-of-whack parts of your body--and then she reaches into her deep tool-kit for whatever will serve you best. She moves between a whole range of techniques (Swedish, deep tissue, orthobionomy, hot stones, cranio-sacral) with ease and total skill. This is active bodywork; Pamela makes you a part of your own healing process, which is amazing - you leave knowing your body better than you did when you came in. Honestly, I don't think I've ever trusted a CMT as much as I trust Pamela. She's a master. It's totally heavenly, too!" Maya G
