To ensure that we effectively fulfill your unique needs, we offer the broadest array of massage therapy services in the Bay Area: Swedish massage, deep-tissue massage, hot stone massage, Thai massage, foot massage, chair massage, pregnancy massage, and many others.

Our extraordinary massage therapists

To attract extraordinary therapists, we have the most ambitious massage-therapist hiring and training program anywhere. Further, our owner brings to the process of hiring and training her background as a world-renowned healer. She has trained literally thousands of massage therapists and healers from across the globe through her organization, the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts.


Massage for relaxation and optimum health

Holistic massage therapy is a cornerstone of our commitment to optimum health and well-being. Our goal for each massage here at Asante is that it be as relaxing and luxurious as it is transformational and healing. Expect it all.


Massage therapy and healing

Your innate healing intelligence responds dramatically to the proactive support of massage therapy. Massage has confirmed therapeutic values beyond the relief it provides sore muscles. Massage has been proven to improve circulation, strengthen connective tissues, improve mental alertness, promote more restful sleep, strengthen the immune system, and more.

 

Massage therapy and optimum health

The healing qualities of massage are making it a much desired option for health-conscious members of our community. Massage therapy really is a vital element of a holistic prescription for vibrant and outstanding health.

 

Holistic massage for your family

Our commitment to holistic massage therapy is reflected in the array of specialized services we offer for your entire family. At each stage of development, humans have unique needs that are best fulfilled through specific therapeutic approaches. Support your family in their "being"—in being whole and complete.
