Touch With Intention

Touch With Intention is a private massage therapy practice in Oakland offering therapeutic bodywork for people dealing with chronic pain, injury, post-surgery recovery, TMJ syndrome, headaches and migraines. The menu includes deluxe and 75-minute facial massages that work on the neck, head and face with intraoral massage, a foot bath with acupressure, glass cupping, prenatal massage, and customized massage therapy sessions from 30 to 120 minutes.

Sessions are booked online, and the practice offers a sliding scale option on some massage sessions when a spot is available that month. The facial sessions use scented products, so people with scent sensitivities should mention it at intake. The practice asks for 24 hours' notice to cancel without charge. The office is at 55 Santa Clara Ave in Oakland, near Fairmount Ave, and is open on weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
