John Donohie CMT

John is a phenomenal massage therapist. Combines specific therapeutic work to help heal injuries/aches with an intuition of knowing exactly what your body needs to relax. His space is clean and welcoming. Always a pleasure to have a session with John!

John is the absolute best! I have had two out-call massages with him and he has arrived perfectly on time with his table,a lovely playlist of music, and the calmest, kindest energy. I asked for a deep-tissue massage for my first massage and a Swedish for my second. John's knowledge of anatomy and intuitive touch made both wonderful. He was able to work out knots in my back that have been with me for years. Couldn't be happier I found John and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

I've visited John several times now. He's is an excellent massage therapist, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a quality experience in a relaxed, comfortable space. I have had some sessions with him where I requested focus only on a particular area (upper back and neck). These were skillfully accommodated and the relief from tension was amazing.

After sustaining a Yoga related injury and dealing with associated pain, I started looking online for a massage therapist and John’s profile with perfect reviews quickly caught my eye. I went ahead and booked a session and after my first session, I was so glad that I had found him. John’s studio is located in the back of his cozy and beautiful house. Before my session, he asked me a lot of questions about my condition. After the session, we sat down in his kitchen and had a nice chat. He asked me for my feedback and took notes. On my subsequent visits, he remembered my feedback from the previous visits and incorporated it into my session. John has an excellent knowledge of human anatomy. He is intuitive and strong. With a combination of physical therapy sessions and regular massages with John, I’m able to manage my pain and back to my regular routine and Yoga. Thanks John.

John is genuinely a kind and compassionate person and because of that he has such a wonderful therapeutic touch and presence. He is precise and knows his anatomy well. He was really able to focus the massage and address the areas that needed attention in my body. The day after the massage, I had more range of motion and flexibility. Thank you for being so good at what you do.

John is an intuitive and skilled therapist. He starts off each session inquiring about problem spots, and then over the course of the session really takes his time to hone in on those areas. He is professional, courteous, and focused on ensuring that his clients leave in better shape than when they arrived. It’s obvious that he views his clients with care and respect.

I have a few body challenges and my chiropractor Dr. Rizzo recommend John , he is to this date thee best massage therapists I’ve had, he is able to listen and help assess the best way to approach my needs. I always rebook he’s in demand! It’s more like massage with a touch of physical therapy, his deep tissue is amazing. I really cannot say enough positive things about John!

I saw John for the first time last week with some specific issues that are chronic and prevent me from taking the long walks I enjoy everyday. He really helped me on all fronts, mobilizing my ankle and easing the pain in my hip, as well as addressing the tightness in my neck and back. He really is so knowledgeable and it’s a relief to know I can get help when I need it. I’m going to be in Oakland on a regular basis, helping with a new grandson, and I’m thrilled to find John who I will see on my trips out here in the future. It’s a bonus that I can walk to his house and that he has a very cozy set up to see clients there.
