Since 1997, women have sought LYMPH DRAINAGE (aka Lymphatic massage) and THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE from me at Sutter Health’s Institute for Health and Healing in San Francisco and Marin while fighting or recovering from breast cancer. Many women also come to see me as part of a continuing wellness program to help prevent disease or reduce stress.

LYMPH DRAINAGE is especially helpful to those recovering from cosmetic surgery or those seeking to eliminate toxins from the body. THERPEUTIC MASSAGE is wonderful for relaxing, easing sore muscles, or to just feel really good.

You too, can benefit from these therapies and other modalities I offer at either my personal office in Mill Valley and at Sutter Health’s IHH in Greenbrae. I design a session especially for your needs. See below to schedule an appointment. Don’t wait, I have limited openings.

I see Al every week. Everything about his sessions are excellent. He really helps me cope and feel better each week. I highly recomend him.

I have experienced many massages from Al in the past 12 years. He is, by far, my favorite therapist. He seems to know when to be gentle and soothing and when and where to give deep pressure and stretching to relieve aches and pains. He has had a lot of training and work experiences and often gives very helpful advice. I recommend Al highly.

One session and you will probably feel the same. Pat

Being a body worker myself, I had known Al professionally for quite some time. I had been interested in getting a massage from him, for my own well being, but hadn't made it a priority. Finally, I got around to booking a massage and was just blown away. Al is a true master of the art of massage. He offers a variety of truly distinct styles true to type. Trained in Esalen Massage, at Esalen, many years ago, Al gave me a fluid and seamless massage. His hands never lost contact or lifted from my body. His hands move from toes to shoulders and neck and back again in one long stroke. I had the sensation that I was a piece of kelp floating on the ocean. I was so relaxed and amazed, I couldn't stop talking about it for days. Al's art is an experience NOT TO BE MISSED
