Healing is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

It’s nice to be kneaded!


Vital Kneads brings a unique and integrated approach to bodywork to Oakland’s Laurel District. Sessions are held in a private treatment studio inside Left Coast Power Yoga on MacArthur Boulevard, a quiet and unhurried space set up for real therapeutic work. We provide various massage and holistic healing modalities, and treat each individual based on their unique conditions and life story. Our aim is to facilitate a safe space for clients to embark on a journey of self discovery and healing by guiding, coaching, and bringing recognition to the mind-body connection. We specialize in physical and emotional pain relief and take a holistic approach to rehabilitating the mind and body from injuries, stress, anxiety, and emotional and physical dysfunction. Our philosophy is that most trauma stored in the mind and body is caused by perpetual postural and energetic holding patterns, unaddressed emotion, and repetitive movements.
