Testimonials
“Rosie is an amazing body worker! I have referred her to several friends and we now call her "body whisperer." Anyone who wants an out-of'-this-world massage experience should go to Rosie.”
Kathleen Caldwell, Oakland, CA.
“Rosie is an experienced, skilled body worker. She diligently puts my body back together every few weeks after whatever adventure I have just subjected it to! She is constantly learning and applying new skills and information so that her work is never just a repeat of the prior session. Additionally, she brings an optimistic empathy that allows me to relax more deeply. Rosie is an intuitive interpreter of the body who shares the insights she is learning about me with me so I can make changes in how I support and strengthen my body.”
Bonnie Wentworth, Oakland, CA.
"Rosie Liebe is a gifted masseuse! It's true, if you want the kinks worked out, go to her. She really pinpointed my issues with the NMR (see Lauren C.'s review). I do a lot of repetitive motions in my job and build up a lot of knotted muscles from my neck through my shoulder blades down to my arms and hands. She worked on me for an hour and I feel amazing! She really tries to educate herself as to what is going on with your body. I can't wait till my next appointment!!! Thanks Rosie!"
Aviva M., Oakland, CA.
"Rosie has magic hands! She's all about figuring out the best massage technique for you and your needs, and is knowledgeable in many different areas to be able to provide exactly what you need. She has extensively studied a really specific type of muscle work called Neuromuscular Re-education (NMR) which helps to retrain injured muscles so that they can function properly again, so that problems can actually heal, versus coming back over and over again. She's extremely professional and approachable, and is just fun to be around. I go to her myself, and I've referred many others to her, including my husband and parents, and they've all be very happy with her work. She does great de-stressing and relaxation work, as well as intensive therapeutic work. I highly recommend Rosie and her magic hands!"

Each massage is a little different, all depending on what you have going on in your body at the time. She is expertly skilled at finding exactly the spot(s) that needs to be fixed and using the most appropriate tools to help you walk out feeling brand new. Need a blissful, relaxing, let-go massage? Rosie is your LMT. Working with structural issues like frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel or sciatica? Rosie is your LMT. Worked a little to hard in the garden this weekend and are now feeling stiff?

Elizabeth K., Berkeley, CA.
“I highly recommend making a massage appointment with Rosie! After I made an intense deadline 2 weeks ago I felt really tense and achy so I made an appointment to see a wonderful practitioner, Rosie Liebe. Rosie's massage studio in Berkeley was very comfortable and she made sure I was warm and hydrated. We enjoyed a little pleasant conversation and then some long periods of deep silence as she worked on releasing kinks in my back and neck. It was heavenly! Because I had so much neck tension she spent a lot of extra time working exactly on the places that needed it. I am an experienced bodyworker and I was impressed by the sensitivity and skill of her touch. Rosie has a great gift with her hands and her heart. After the session I felt like I had dropped 20 pounds of stress! Thank you Rosie, for making your miraculous talents available to us.”

"As an endurance athlete I know how important taking care of your body is and regular massages are a key component of my recovery after a 100-mile ride or 20-mile run. I have been going to Rosie for about 2 years and she's always been very attentive to any special needs or areas that need attention as a result of the stress I put on my body. She also has a compassionate demeanor and creates and atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and relaxed.
Tom K., San Francisco, CA.
“Certainly- She’s got the gifted touch! As an Ultra endurance cyclist I had put my body through rigorous and abusive training that demanded someone with Rosie’s abilities. She is capable to engage in a communication with my body allowing me to re-gain my natural muscular integration, relaxation with the ability to recover and improve faster than usual. Give Rosie the chance to know what your body needs and you’ll be pleased!”
Juan Jimenez, Berkeley, CA.
“Rosie is amazing. She's been instrumental in helping me manage my carpal tunnel and repetitive stress disorder. She's been the first person to have been able to have helped in all the years I've dealth with it. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's knowledgeable and professional and flat out nice. Other people's massages make me feel as if I need to go get a massage afterwards. Hers don't. Go see her."
Liz Revenko, San Rafael, CA.
