I was pregnant when I first went to see Ronit for a prenatal massage. I was having terrible radiating pain in my arms and after our massage I felt just about 100% better! Ronit was so sweet, made me feel comfortable especially with my first ever prenatal massage. I highly recommend her! My husband and I later also hired her to be our doula for the delivery of my son. Ronit is very responsive whenever we had questions. She was very informative during our meetings leading up to my due date. One big thing for us was making sure our doula did not push their own agenda or replace my husband during the labor/delivery process. Ronit was respectful of our wishes, empowered my husband with hands on techniques and ways to better support me, and provided comfort and additional knowledge about labor which gave us peace of mind since we were first timers at the labor process, and that was priceless. We are so so grateful to have had Ronit with us despite eventually having to deliver via csection. After we brought our baby home, Ronit stopped by to check in with us and made herself available to any questions we have with caring for a newborn. Whenever I see Ronit it feels like reuniting with a friend! We have moved to the city but Emeryville isn't too far if I am in need of a good massage! She's the best!
I saw Ronit during my 35th week of pregnancy while baby was breech. Her relaxing massage, combined with Spinning Baby techniques, released so much tension in my body. I believe this made room for the baby, and I found out during my 36 week ultrasound that the baby was no longer breech! I am thankful for her knowledge and bodywork and hope to visit her again soon.
Ronit is without a doubt the most excellent massage therapist I have ever seen. She is deeply knowledgeable about the spine and how its alignment can affect the entire body. With her many years of experience, she is able to work deeply and intentionally to loosen tight muscles and relax the layers of fascia that we have throughout our bodies. You can begin a massage session with Ronit in pain and discouraged, and leave without pain and feeling in tune with your body and hopeful again.
