Stepping into Amanda Wong’s massage and craniosacral therapy studio, many clients immediately feel held by both care and expertise. Tucked quietly on Powell Street, the space exudes a sense of calm and warmth, fostering a safe environment for true healing to take place. It’s clear from the outset that Amanda’s work is grounded in deep anatomical insight and a holistic understanding of the nervous system and energy flow.

One of the most recurring themes in client feedback is astonishment at the lasting results. A woman who had lived with a stiff, unyielding knot in her shoulder for over six years described feeling it completely release after her first session—never to return. She used the word “fluid” to describe how her chest, neck, and upper back felt afterward—a fitting metaphor for the ease and vibrancy the body regained. Many others echo a similar experience: subtle energy shifts that ripple into physical clarity and long-term comfort.

For those familiar with therapeutic touch, Amanda stands out even more. A former massage therapist with decades of experience called her “one of the BEST” they had ever encountered—immediately sensing how tuned into the body she is, and how deeply she listens through her touch. Clients highlight her ability to create a session that adapts in real time—combining biodynamic craniosacral work, deep pressure where needed, gentle flows elsewhere, and optional chakra balancing to harmonize energetic centers. It’s an approach they consistently call intuitive, bespoke, and deeply respectful of each person’s individual needs.

Amanda’s presence resonates on a personal level too. Clients describe her as passionate, centered, compassionate—and committed not just to treatment, but to empowering them with post-session guidance. She often suggests simple posture shifts, self-care assignments, or breath practices to support the client’s process between visits. Several have expressed gratitude for this holistic attention, calling her hands “million-dollar” for their clarity and sensitivity.

The studio itself reinforces the experience. Described as quiet and uncluttered, it provides a backdrop where people can drop in deeply—both physically and mentally. It’s often remarked that the clarity and nurture experienced in the session linger far longer than just the hour on the table. As one returning client noted—they felt freer, lighter, and more aligned with themselves after each visit, and often scheduled multiple sessions as a natural way to stay grounded.

In essence, Amanda Wong RCST’s practice in Emeryville is consistently called out by clients as a space where reliability meets depth—where physical knots unravel, emotional tension dissolves, and the soul finds room to breathe. For many, the combination of skilled anatomy knowledge, fluid craniosacral work, energetic attunement, and clear communication makes each visit feel less like an appointment and more like a profound invitation back to balance.
