Soaring Crane Massage + Acupuncture

Words cannot describe how great Eric is at what he does. Highly recommend!! He has a very unique style and technique that is the best out of everyone I have gone to. I drive 4 hours round trip just to see him each time and it’s 100% worth it. Thank you for what you do!

I took a Thai massage class with Eric about 7 years ago and since then have taken many more classes with him. He has SO much knowledge about Thai massage and his work is the reason Thai massage has become my favorite massage modality to both give and receive. I also just love Eric's energy. He is so supportive, grounded, and playful. I don't always feel so safe with male practitioners but I feel really safe with Eric. Thank you Eric!

A rare gem, Eric’s passion in healing arts and teaching is something special. He is one of the hidden, last remains of magic that truely defines the heart of old seattle.

I just took Eric's Integrated Table Thai course. It was extremely well taught. Tonight was my first shift combining Thai poses with deep tissue techniques, and it's the best I have felt after working in years. I don't have words to express how grateful I am that I took this course.

Eric is a great instructor. I had the pleasure of taking his introductory Thai massage class over a weekend. The presentations were concise, sequential, informative and interactive. He demonstrated techniques with competence and consciousness. Eric was alway mindful of helping people find adaptations and options to make each technique work for both the giver and receiver. I could go on and on, but I will end with the friendly and networking atmosphere that Eric facilitates with genuine joy and friendliness that embraces the essence of Thai culture and bodywork. I’ve been in the bodywork field for 20 years and I recommend his coursework without reservation.

Eric is a very gifted acupuncturist and massage therapist. He is attentive to my health and well being first and foremost. I have been seeing him in his practice for many years. Whatever my health issue, I have found healing and comfort in his care. I have always found Eric to be helpful when injured or needing a relaxing treatment. I always leave his place relaxed, calm and relieved. He is attentive to every detail. His studio is beautiful, immaculately and meticulously kept. I would reccomend Eric to anyone who wants a top tier practitioner of the healing arts.

I have been practicing and studying Thai massage for almost 20 years. I studied in Thailand for 5 years and in that time had the honor of learning from several "masters." I'm prefacing my review of Eric with this history of myself because I've also studied with Eric in Seattle and he is the best teacher I've ever had. Eric has such respect, reverence, understanding and deference for Thai culture and Thai massage, which comes across in his courses. Eric is a teacher with such talent at making Thai massage understandable and tangible for a western audience. His teaching style is fun, intelligent, well paced and interesting. I have learned so much from him. Eric is also a wonderful human and it is a pleasure to be in his company. It is an honor to be his student.

I was looking for a Thai massage studio with a very experienced practitioner, Eric Spivack came highly recommended by a previous student of his in Spokane, WA where I live. I have experienced both styles of Thai massages in Southeast Asia at exclusive health & wellness spa resorts who only employ the finest trained staff, and I wanted to find someone with similar skills and experience as I am very particular and do my research on those I go to when receiving any treatments. I was extremely pleased to find Eric and to experience his healing touch. I have to compliment him on the serene tranquility and ambiance he has created in his practice spaces. It’s as if you were transported to Thailand. The landscape surrounding his setting is incredibly lush. One can immediately sense with great reverence of who practices here. The energy you feel upon entering the gate and taking the path to a staircase leading to his private practice is very healing. I was thoroughly impressed with my Thai massage session. Eric is truly a warm, welcoming and experienced practitioner who is keenly sensitive and aware of what my body needed. After discovering that he teaches his craft, I decided to go through his Thai Massage Training Program to be able to integrate it with my practice as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. I am very pleased at how professional, well organized and thorough his lessons are designed. I would highly recommend Eric at Soaring Crane & Acupuncture. With My Deepest Respect & Gratitude, Gigi
