Have an old gift certificate you couldn’t redeem?

Gift certificates for our Suite 501-A office became legally void in June 2010. However, if this still affects you, shoot Christina a message and we will try to get you taken care of with one of our current therapists in the coming months. Let her know your old certificate number and your preferred therapist choice.

Homerun gift certificates were voided by Homerun and must be refunded by contacting Homerun directly.

What’s coming up?

We are working on a scheduling system that will look the same for every therapist. It’s going to be awesome! Stay tuned…

About Our Therapists

Greg Lewis

After achieving fantastic results from bodywork, Greg made a drastic career change and graduated from one of New York State’s most comprehensive massage programs in 2002. Having suffered from eyestrain and posture-related issues, he has spent extra time developing techniques to help the neck and spine. Maybe your back, neck and shoulders could use a visit to Greg’s office soon!

Nadja Clarke

After becoming certified on a nationally-recognized level in 2001, Nadja has been sought after as a touch therapist by a wide range of clientele. Her techniques are most often described by seasoned massage recipients as “unique”, “strong”, “very helpful” and “intuitive.” All of Nadja’s massages include some hot stone work, stretches, fluid dancelike motions, and specialized focus on areas of pain.

Editor’s Note:

I was deeply saddened to let go of our old office (a decision I did not come to lightly). Sometimes you have to start a fire to make room for new growth. I am much healthier and happier now, and better able to serve the community.

Thanks for letting me bring you this new network. Please give me lots of feedback about everything you like and don’t like, need and don’t need!

Sincerely,

Christina McKinstry
UNCOIL Massage & Bodywork

Since then, I have had the privilege to bring in some of the most caring and talented therapists in San Francisco to work alongside me. We have the nicest and best clients (you!), and are proud of the healing spaces and energy we have fostered. Thank you.

Therefore, it is with sadness that I must announce my intention to close our current office location on February 1st, 2011. It’s been a great 4 years but I will now be moving on to pursue other interests. Unfortunately the snail pace of city permitting would not allow a smooth transfer to a new owner immediately, so stay posted for any reincarnations!

You will still be able to find your favorite therapist by going to our homepage starting at the end of January. For example, Nadja will continue to honor UNCOIL’s prices and policies at her new location on Sutter Street. We will post forwarding contact information for all the therapists by the end of the month.

If you have a gift certificate or voucher, I strongly encourage you to book now and use it up in the month of January. Refund details for unused vouchers will be posted on the website in February.

Thanks again for 4 great years.

Peace & Healing,

Christina

It really gets the blood into the muscles and gives your posture a break from any slumping that might be happening, plus you get bonus exercise and don’t feel so bad about not being outside or at the gym!

Do you have any similar computer breaks you take to feel healthier?

Massage, was no doubt in play long before the homo-sapiens.   Imagine you are living in a tribe of the first bipedals, homo-erectus.  The famous “Lucy” lives in a cave next to you.  You see her, all of four feet tall, gently stroking her cavemate, grooming, (as apes do today), exploring and discovering as she presses, rubs, pulls, and taps her cavemate’s body.  The hand, I’m sure, was the first tool. ( But I wouldn’t want to see one at a hardware store!)    Massage therapists, interestingly enough, refer to the various hand and arm positions as “tools.”

Although “Lucy” is not calling it a massage, she certainly is enchanted with the act.  And just imagine the euphoria of her cavemate, receiving a massage for the first time.  The receiver experiences a surge of buzzing energy and rapture.   The giver has gone cathartic, beginning to understand the concepts of compassion, and peace.  Bipedals, through massage, are now moving toward higher functions of living; and over time, develop a cerebral cortex big enough to handle the ideas.

Massage is not limited to mere human or primate activity.  You see it in many other species.  Cats purr as they nuzzle one another.   Pigs grunt in ecstasy as their mothers lick them clean.  You can see a bear almost smile while he rubs his head against a tree.  Seals roll about rocks – and each other.   Even whales, a species much older than humans, thrust themselves powerfully out of the ocean, and slap themselves silly, by landing on the water, massaging and scratching their backs.  Crickets, make that chirping sound by rubbing their limbs together, and I’m willing to bet they dig the vibrations set off in their entire body as a result.

It makes me wonder if our mother Earth enjoys the tremendous friction and subsequent heat, by rotating at seventeen miles per minute.  Even beyond that, the universe massages itself.  Systems swirl about eachother, exchanging energies. The shifting pressure of gravitational fields create a type of compression that celestial bodies actually “feel.”

When you put all this into perspective, its no wonder we love massage so much.  We have access to massage anytime, anywhere:  your own hands!  Of course, the hand of others have much more power to help you.  True, you’ll need to look a bit further to find a trained hand, but we all carry the instinct.

Massage instincts first appeared help us survive, care for others, and teach us values.   We are indeed very fortunate today, to see its role expanded as a chaperone to the ever soaring heights of life’s gifts.

Leland Thunes, L.M.T.

Though the mechanisms are not fully understood scientifically, what I felt was that negative emotions, once experienced, if not dealt with or experienced fully, get stored in the body. Only through analysis or catharsis will the emotions disperse energetically or biochemically, leaving the body to function healthfully, as designed. E.F.T. was very useful for me and I would recommend it to anyone feeling “stuck” or “spinning your wheels” in any aspect of your life’s journey. The physical “tapping” helped me to tune into my body while thinking through things that were holding me back.
