Let's customize our time together so that you are getting just what your body is needing in the moment. I strive to make it as easy as possible to let me know what you are wanting and if you want something to change. This can range from changing the pressure, to where or how we are working, to the amount of talking you're wanting that day.This is about centering yourself as much as possible while on the table and not feeling bad about asking for what you want! And as you'll hear me say, my one rule on the table is:
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENDURE ANYTHING!
Rates
60 minutes: $140
75 minutes: $165

About Seb
I have been a massage therapist in the East Bay Area since 2018. My work is grounded in a commitment to equity, inclusivity, and helping people access the customized support they need to thrive. I believe that healing happens through a combination of safety, trust, and attunement, and these values guide every session I offer.Before becoming a massage therapist, I spent more than 15 years supporting autistic individuals and people with a wide range of support needs. This experience taught me how to listen deeply, attune to what may be happening beneath the surface, and create spaces where people feel seen, respected, and understood.In addition to my work as a massage therapist, I am also a relationship coach with TurnON.love. This background gives me additional tools for supporting clients with communication, boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation. While massage is not talk therapy, I recognize the close relationship between our emotional experiences and our physical bodies, and I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves to the session.I am a graduate of the National Holistic Institute’s 900-hour massage therapy program and hold certification in Pediatric Massage through the Liddle Kidz Foundation. I was also honored to receive the Successful Hands Grant in recognition of my vision for expanding access to specialized bodywork services.
About Sessions
My approach is centered around customizing our time together to meet your unique needs for that day.If you are needing something more targeted and therapeutic we can dive deep into one area. If you are just tired and touch deprived, we can orient towards a soothing and restorative session. Maybe you are craving a bit of everything - we can do our best to balance therapeutic deep work with flowing gentle touch.Some folks come in knowing exactly what they want and like to direct my touch and be as particular as can be; while others would rather not say a word and just trust I know what I am doing and drift off into the realm of quiet relaxation.I also offer trauma-informed sessions that are grounded in respect for each person’s unique history and lived experience. This may include working through dissociative patterns connected to touch or receiving or just having extra check ins about where we are working or how things are feeling. We would find what will be supportive together beforehand. My goal is to support you in reconnecting with your body and cultivating a greater sense of ease, resilience, and well-being.In my practice, I include a range of techniques and tools such as deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial release, PNF stretching, cupping, CBD, and hot stones.
Testimonials
"Sebastian is a truly outstanding healer and body worker. He is incredibly skilled and highly intuitive; facilitates open communication in such a way that encourages clients to speak up about what they want or need; and is genuinely an all around wonderful human being.

-Shana
"Seb is one of my absolute favorite body workers of all time. He is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and a clear, attentive communicator throughout the entire experience. You feel completely safe sharing your needs, knowing he truly listens and honors them. I’m so grateful to have found him this past year. He helped me work through so many postpartum aches and imbalances, and he’s become a favorite for our entire family as well. Could not recommend him more!"
-Jekka
"Seb gives a great massage in a beautiful location - 60 mins is alright, but for me 90 mins really hits the spot.
He’s a sensitive communicator from the very first session and before each massage, as well as throughout to check in regarding different modalities, pressure, temperature and needs I didn't even think to ask about."-Glo
