Massage • Movement • Corrective Exercise
Sparsha is Sanskrit for touch. In yogic philosophy, this is the body's most immediate way of knowing: feeling before understanding. Yoga brought me here. Years of practice, of learning what it means to place your hands on someone with full presence. Service as practice, not performance. Massage is where it all landed for me.
Every session is blended and tailored to what your body needs that day, drawing on my training across the modalities below. Book a 90- or 120-minute in-home session. The same visit is what people mean by mobile massage. We'll talk through what you need at the start. If something specific hurts, start with low back, neck and shoulders, desk posture, or post-workout recovery.
The modalities I draw from
Long, gliding strokes to ease tension, improve circulation, and quiet the nervous system.
Flowing, full-body integration in the Big Sur tradition — restorative and almost meditative.
Sustained pressure on the fascia to release restrictions and unstick recurring tension.
Slow, focused work in the deeper muscle layers for chronic tightness and recovery.
Light, rhythmic strokes that support lymph flow, ease swelling, and gently move stagnation.
NASM-certified coaching to fix movement patterns, build strength, and train pain-free.
"Bodywork that meets you where you are, helping you move, breathe, and feel better."

Shane brought something personal to this session I haven't experienced before. He asked about my goals at the start, the pacing was confident throughout, and the quality of touch was excellent. Full-bodied and unlike anything else I've ever had. I'd genuinely love to work with him again.
Jennifer
Just the right pressure for what my body actually needed — intentional, controlled, never too much. He listened carefully before working each area, clarified when he wasn't sure, and communicated throughout. I came in with tension in my hips and left feeling like it had really been addressed.
Katherine
The rhythm was smooth and intentional from the very start. He started slow and let my body adjust to what it was receiving before going deeper — I really felt that thoughtfulness. By the end I felt genuinely cared for, not just worked on.
Eva
A steady, well-paced session I could actually feel working. He checked in as we went and adjusted based on what I said. I walked in with tension and walked out noticeably better — I was honestly surprised by how much of a difference I felt.

Yes, if the aches feel like muscle tightness from the desk. I work the neck, shoulders, chest, and upper back. I don't diagnose. Numbness, weakness, or chest pain should go to a doctor first.
I can work the muscles that often tighten with low back pain, including the hips and glutes. I can't tell you the medical cause. Pain down the leg, numbness, or bladder changes needs a doctor.
Yes. I'm a CAMTC certified massage therapist, certificate #103952. I'm also RYT-200, NASM CPT, and NASM CES, and I've trained in lymphatic drainage. I trained at the San Francisco School of Massage.
