SEVA [say-va] is a sanskrit term that means, “string”, in English. It implies a greater connection between all things, where to serve one is to serve the whole. It is about offering ones gifts and talents to the community whenever there is need. SEVA comes from a place of love, compassion, and respect. SEVA reflects my approach as a massage therapist in that I strive to help my clients attain physical and mental balance by eliciting their awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection through the power of healing touch. I believe that if we can achieve peace within the individual, both physically and emotionally, then we are one step closer to co-existing in universal harmony.

Skilled certified Esalenmassagetherapist providing focused deep tissue massage and Reiki in the Bay Area Testimonial from a customer: Premo is a poet of touch: never before have I met such an intuitive healer and never do I feel more cared for than when I am in her presence. Not only does she bring the physical body back from ache and fatigue, she reawakens the spirit at the deepest level. Each time I visit Premo I experience her gifted artistry and incredibly mindful touch as never before. I once again remember I am a whole, sentient being deserving of compassion. Those who are fortunate enough to come into Premo's care remain loyal for good reason. I offered to provide a close colleague in need of self-care with the name of my masseuse, but my friend declined the referral stating she was already very devoted to the person she sees for massage. Half a year, and then again a year later, I offered to give her the name of my practitioner and as it turned out we were both referring to Premo, having been devoted clients of hers for several years!

I am a Certified Wellness Practitioner and Educator focusing primarily on Reiki, Chi Nei Tsang (Abdominal Chi Massage), and Taoist Meditations. While I primarily specialize in women's issues, I work with both men and women. My one-on-one work is a multi-dimensional therapy where I utilize all of my "tools" to design personalized wellness programs for my clients. In addition to Reiki and Chi Nei Tsang, this includes the incorporation of nutrition, hydration, elimination, meditation, exercise, and emotional release writing into the program. As a holistic health educator and practitioner, I believe that a person can benefit from more than just a treatment using a specific modality. That is why I decided to design personalized wellness programs for my clients. A personalized wellness program is designed and tailored to meet your specific wellness needs. A "session" may include any and/or all of the modalities that I work with depending upon what you need at the time. Your initial session will consist of an interview to ascertain your current health status on all levels - physical as well as mental,emotional and spiritual. I will then use that information to design a program for you which will address nutrition, hydration, cleansing, elimination, meditation, emotional writing exercises, Chi Kung, and self-help Chi Nei Tsang. Since my work is very interactive, I will always give you some type of work to do in between sessions.This can be in the form of self-Reiki, self-Abdominal Massage, a particular meditation or Chi Kung exercise, inner child writing to name a few. Because of this, a session may last longer than or less than 1 hour. Due to the nature and commitment involved in wellness work of this type, I highly recommend that you plan to schedule at least 4 sessions to be able to see the effects of the work over a period of time. As an incentive for you to invest in your wellness, I offer several Wellness Program series specials in my practice.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCA, BCT, BCST) is a unique form of bodywork that promotes the natural healing abilities of the body. Unlike traditional craniosacral therapy, biodynamic craniosacral practitioners believe that the body has an inherent intelligence and vitality that can be accessed through gentle touch and deep listening. In downtown Sebastopol, California, there is a growing community of BCA / BCT / BCST practitioners who are committed to helping individuals achieve a greater sense of well-being and connection to their own bodies. These practitioners operate out of various locations, including private practices, wellness centers, and holistic clinics. At the heart of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is the concept of "primary respiration," which refers to the innate rhythm of the body that is present from birth. This rhythm is a subtle, tidal motion that can be felt throughout the body, and it reflects the overall health and vitality of the person. BCA / BCT / BCST practitioners use their hands to detect and gently facilitate this motion, allowing the body to release tension and restore balance. One of the key aspects of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is the emphasis on the relationship between practitioner and client. BCST practitioners strive to create a safe and supportive environment in which clients can relax and let go of physical and emotional stress. They use a variety of techniques, such as light touch, gentle pressure, and holding, to help clients feel more comfortable and at ease. The BCA / BCT / BCST practitioner also listens to the body's subtle cues and responds with a deep level of empathy and understanding. This allows the client to feel seen and heard in a way that is often difficult to achieve in traditional medical settings. Another unique aspect of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is its focus on the whole person, rather than just the physical body. BCA / BCT / BCST practitioners recognize that the body is a complex system that includes physical, emotional, and spiritual components, and they work to address all of these aspects in their sessions. Clients who receive biodynamic craniosacral therapy often report feeling more relaxed, centered, and grounded. They may also experience improved sleep, reduced pain and tension, and increased overall vitality and well-being. If you are interested in exploring the benefits of biodynamic craniosacral therapy in downtown Sebastopol, there are many skilled practitioners to choose from. Whether you are dealing with a specific health concern or simply seeking greater connection to your body and inner wisdom, BCA / BCT / BCST can be a powerful tool for supporting your overall health and well-being.
