The BIGgest of thanks to Jacob for the most incredible bodywork session I've ever received! He skillfully spoke a language my body has been yearning for... his patient depth exploration followed the invitation of my breath in such a way that it was completely non-invasive. together with my breath, we picked the locks of holding patterns I had forgotten about entirely as I was subtly flooded with remembrance and relief. this is the kind of empowering support I have been seeking... my mind/body relationship has been reset and his work has continued its effect with a series of effortless adjustments since I left the reflective touch of his deep presence. i highly recommend his service to anyone in need of a powerful reminder of their inherent ability to heal themselves without trying! his rates are an affordable sliding scale. his work is priceless. he is offering this from a goddess sanctuary sublet in SF for the next month... get at him and tell him I sent you! (:

It is hard to describe this experience in words. From the initial contact to the completion it was a destination spa experience. Jacob likes to have a call to discuss your needs and expectations. He is one of the most professional masseurs I have met. When you meet him you have already made a connection. He gives one of the best massages that I have experienced. The touch of his hands are as warm as his heart. You can feel his heart and soul in his touch - he fully understands your body and needs. He is a conversationalist and is so easy to talk with. If you have a chance to have a session with him you will not be disappointed but leaving with your body and mind relaxed and revitalized. -- Chad H.

Jacob is a gift from the universe. After the most stressful month of unwanted change, loss, and upheaval I decided to treat myself to a massage- something I’d hoped would be rebalancing and centering. A massage by Jacob was that and more. I melted on his table, and wept with relief during the session. He creates a truly healing experience, and is so skilled. He adjusted pressure and stretching technique easily and expertly. Incredibly kind, charismatic, and in-tune, he made me feel so comfortable and cared for. Cant highly recommend enough and am so looking forward to returning.
