I work night shifts and constantly deal with stiffness in my upper and mid-back, neck, and shoulders…sometimes it’s painful just to turn my head.

She has magic hands! She works slowly and intentionally on every knot, restoring mobility and stretching where it’s needed, which really helps the results last.

I’ve been seeing Joyce for about two years, initially as a complementary treatment for my frozen shoulder, and she has been incredibly helpful with a number of issues I’ve had such as tech neck, lower back and hip pain… Her massage is well structured, highly detailed, and truly results driven… At least for me, feels more like a passive physical therapy session than a traditional massage, mixing therapeutic techniques with deep relaxation.

Joyce was highly recommended by my previous massage therapist who retired recently, so I decided to give it a try. Her deep tissue work was incredibly effective and very focused. I left feeling like melted butter and noticed a big difference, especially in my neck and lower back pain for days after the massage. Definitely one of the best massages I’ve had in Albany. Looking forward to returning soon.

I’ve been receiving massages from Joyce regularly and she’s been a huge help for managing my neck pain due to tension and stress. I appreciate that she uses different tools and techniques instead of just giving a generic massage. If you’re looking for something more effective and focused in the Berkeley area, this is it.
