Recommendation for excellent masseuse
My family recently relocated to the East Bay and I would greatly appreciate suggestions for a masseuse. I am female and am more comfortable working with women. Located in the Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville area would be ideal; someone strong who might use a variety of techniques, but is happy to provide traditional Swedish massage.
Also, are there reputable massage schools that offer reduced rate massage for students logging clinical hours?
Thank you! SM

Karen Wieland is amazing. I'm pretty picky about massages and it's taken me years to find someone that I really like. She is a real treat. She also has her own studio so she's less expensive than the bigger places that have a constant rotation of massage therapists. She's in El Cerrito but I think she can travel to you as well. I hope you give her a try.

I highly recommend Lori Colombo. While her business name is 'Massage for Mom's', she also sees men. My husband and I are particular about our massage therapists (he's trained in massage), and both love her. She is intuitive and strong, and offers both in home or in her studio massage. lscolombo [at] gmail.com, 510-393-8233
Beth Baron in Berkeley is very good (http://bethbaron.com/intouchtherapies/).
