I've been seeing Tanya for ~2 years now and have finally found someone that's been able to help consistently address my chronic neck and back pain. Ashiatsu and Esalen both offer different pace of intensity depending on what is needed at the time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can consistently address and realign your energy and wellbeing.
Wongtama Wellness in Oakland provided me with the much-needed reset before a big move I have coming up. Tanya is so intuitive, after articulating what I thought my body needed, she responded by focusing on those areas while finding other points of tension and tightness, kneading those out, and providing suggestions for continued therapy at home. I felt like I could understand a new language through her astute touch, connecting seemingly distant parts of my body and revealing the surprising complexities of tightness and musculo-skeletal over-compensations hidden within. As a result, I feel better grounded in my body, and nourished by Tanya’s practice. Thank you so much,...read full review
