Whitney Moses, CMT

Whitney is a very knowledgeable, professional and talented masseuse. She listened to my list of back issues and gave me an outstanding massage. I left her place feeling much better and so, so relaxed. She also gave me suggestions on what I can do on my own to keep from future flare ups in my neck/​shoulder area. I recommend anyone to try her out. Her pricing is beyond fair and she is an extremely talented lady with such magical energy. Thank you, Whitney!

Just finished my first appointment with Whitney and feel great. Relaxed, happy, cared for. She had what felt to me like the perfect touch — not too hard, not too soft, got some serious movement happening in muscles that I often feel are jammed up together without ever getting to a seriously uncomfortable or painful space. Left feeling like I could have done that for another ½ hour easily, consider scheduling 1.5 hour slot if she has it available. Will definitely be back.

I am a circus performer, which means a few things: I know my body better than most, and I am often doing things to it that are stressful or could incur injury. Athlete life at its most absurd.
So when seeking a bodyworker shortly after New Years Eve, I had a pretty good idea about what was wrong, what I had done to cause it, and was searching not only for the very helpful poking & prodding of a healer’s hands, but for someone who could lend their insight and recommend physical therapy exercises to help me rehab myself.
Whitney was excellent. I left feeling better than I came in, and (perhaps even more importantly) much better equipped to help care for my hurt neck/​shoulder and prevent future injuries. Affordable, considerate, attentive, and knows what she’s talking about — Whitney is all of the things I seek in this type of medical professional. Highly recommended.
Bonus points: Easy street parking, and a lovely live/​work space that’s very comfortable to visit.

Whitney is really excellent. Despite living in San Francisco I make the journey out to Whitney because the few times I didn’t I really regretted it. She is definitely worth the trip for me.
I’ve been a patient of Whitney’s for the last few years. She is incredible! I don’t know about you, but I tend to wait a little bit too long between massages. I always finally get around to having one when my body is at a crisis point and needs some serious work. Whitney always starts out the massage by asking if there is anywhere that particularly hurts and then she really sorts out those areas. By the end of a massage I always feel a little bit woozy from relief.
I’m so grateful for Whitney!

Whitney has consistently been able to meet my body where it’s at, and that’s not always easy considering what’s going on with it. Sometimes it needs quite light massage work, and sometimes quite deep massage. There are layers and layers of problems in there, and they have to be teased apart very carefully in order to avoid provoking a backlash. As a former massage therapist who is married to a massage therapist, I’m extremely fussy about the work I get. Whitney’s massage is mindful and effective, and she is continuing to build her skillset with higher and higher levels of education. She has become my massage mainstay, and I recommend her highly.

Just had a visit with Whitney, and she just keeps getting better and better. Highest recommendation!

I’ve heard great things about Whitney’s massage services for years, but I haven’t been a patient until very recently. In the past few months I have been battling plantars fasciitis (heel pain), a bruised tailbone, and a shoulder injury from a car accident. I decided to finally seek Whitney’s help with these compounding injuries.
Whitney’s massages feel more like «actively debugging my muscles» than a spa treatment. She’s helped me to understand the interconnection between my various injuries, and her massage has helped open up my hips, loosen my neck, and generally get my whole body into better alignment. She does a lot of pressure/​strength testing of various muscles, combined with applying significant pressure to loosen spots of tension, to get everything working more smoothly together.
If you’re looking for someone who can really target your deep-​seated injuries, knots, and weak spots, Whitney is your gal. I feel stronger already!

Your massage was wonderful. You are physically insightful, and listened to what my body was telling you. You have rare talent. And you are very adept at using a variety of techniques based on what presents itself rather than a rote recitation of standard patterns.
I was particularly pleased with the care with which you deconstructed the elements of my hip connective tissues which have been troublesome for over a year. You left no connection untreated. I now have less pain and more range of motion than I’ve had in months.

She fixes all my aches and pains. When I’m stress in mind, body or heart, she’s my go-​to professional. Honestly, she’s gifted.

Whitney is a blessing. She is a true healer. I have been to every type of massage therapist, chiropractors, and even the hospital for my extensive injuries. This is the first time that someone nailed the exact spots on my body to give me permanent relief for my chronic pain of over 10 years. I have 25 year old injuries that have caused my body to go ‘out of whack’ so badly that the pain is debilitating. Whitney is helping me help myself and teaching me to heal my body so that I can get out of bed and walk up stairs again. :) I am even thinking that exercise is in my future again. I think that I may actually feel like a 42 year old again instead of an 80 year old. :)
Thank you Whitney.

I mentioned to a good friend of mine that I really needed a massage and she said to contact Whitney because she had searched around for the best masseur and found the woman you can find too — here! I have seen many people, but I agree with my friend. You can’t get a better massage in the Bay Area. Whitney begins by asking you questions about your body and what you want, but when she gets going she finds areas that you don’t even know need her touch. She pushes and pulls, kneads and strokes, and with incredible strength and gentleness, she knows what I need. She feels me.
I began to see Whitney after I had a serious head injury and a broken foot. After just one visit it (I) felt like coming home. Such compassion, such grace, and such benevolence … these are qualities that are hard to find … and I couldn’t be happier to find this with Whitney.

Whitney’s skills just blow me away. She works like a master mechanic, tapping here, pushing there, until she figures out what’s going on in your complex body. I love the way she lets me in on her thought process and is able to change her theory when she finds contradictory evidence.
Whitney has a great bedside manner and makes me feel very relaxed and comfortable. She doesn’t do anything new-​agey or fluffy; doesn’t wave her hands over my body and talk about «energy flows»; doesn’t play Indian flute montages in the background. She gets right down to business listening to my concerns and investigating the problems.
I went to her with a mess of running-​related issues, and she untangled them and followed the threads back to the source of the the problem. I’m back running again, pain free, and am massively grateful to Whitney for it.

Whitney is the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. She’s also an amazing person. I’ve never met anyone who approached massage therapy with such a scientific bent something amazingly refreshing.

The French Spouse is a picky person in general, even more so when it comes to healing and her body. Whitney has exceeded all her expectations and needs when it come to massage therapy. I like that she makes house calls and that she listens to what clients want and explains what she is going to do and why it should be helpful.

She is GREAT!
Comes to my house as I can’t get up the stairs at her office.
Went to my physical therapy appointment in Berkeley to learn how she could help me best.
Very talented and knowledgeable.
I see her weekly and if I won the Powerball I’d see her more than that.

I can’t recommend Whitney enough. She has a gift; from the first time I spent time with her I could sense her healing energy and wisdom. She really spends time asking questions and getting to know your history and your body’s history in order to best help you, and she respects the individuality of every person’s body and their needs.
I wish I could adequately express how talented she is, but you’ll have to see for yourself. We as a world need more healing professionals like her.
On a personal level, I saw her in a time when I was struggling heavily with an eating disorder that had ravaged my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Despite my general difficulties with trust (and touch requires so much trust!) I found myself completely at ease with her and confident in her knowledge and being a safe person. I think it’s difficult to find professionals who deal with the body who are intuitive enough to respond in an effective way for people who suffer from ailments as sensitive as eating disorders, and Whitney beyond meets this need.
I’m honored and excited to share my experience and hope you will give yourself the gift of contacting this wonderful human being to help you in your healing process.
(I so recommend her that I actually went and posted a bunch of reviews for other places so that my review here wouldn’t be filtered out/​would actually show up. Seriously. Go see Whitney.)

Whitney took amazing care of me. I went to her in a great deal of pain from a neck injury. She identified exactly where to work and helped me figure out a plan moving forward. I cannot wait to get back to her and have more work done.
She’s an excellent massage therapist that listens to me and my body.

Whitney is a knowledgeable healer who teaches you as she goes along. She figures if she teaches you to heal yourself, you can be her partner in your healing. She looked at how I stand, had me raise one leg and drop it, then the other, and that told her what she needed to know about where my muscles were weak or where they were over-​compensating (she also listened carefully to my history and what I wanted her to work on).
She was able to bend me into some different stretches and used various techniques (some deep tissue, some kind of surprising because they didn’t seem to feel that amazing but then a slight adjustment and I had a whole new range of motion) to loosen up tight muscles and get things moving more fluidly.
She gave me specific exercises to do which if I’d done them I’m sure would have helped, but I didn’t, so of course the pain came back and I need to see her again. But yeah, listen to her, do the homework she gives you, and you’ll need fewer massages, though you’ll probably still want them because they feel good! She’s intuitive, knows her stuff, and is excited to share her knowledge and help you learn to heal yourself. See her and feel better!

Whitney makes my body feel great! I’ve played roller derby for 8 years and to say my body is beat up is an understatement, but after a massage from Whitney I feel fantatstic!
She makes a real effort to understand my body and it’s needs and pinpoint the areas that really need work. She works out many of my general knots and kinks as well as addressing my extensive injuries.
I was having numbness in my hand from a problem with my shoulder and not only did she help to correct it, but she showed me some really easy stretches for preventative maintenance on it that really work!
I highly recommend Whitney! I’m going to go book an appointment right now!

Whitney is very professional and fabulous at what she does. My mom has been ill and in much need of a healing touch. Whitney came to the house, talked with her to find out her medical issues and gave one on the best massages ever! She also massage my mom’s partner and he loved it too.
Thank you very much — once again I see how much a bit of thoughtful kindness can change your day.
