Pam O'Dea Metamorphic Massage - Testimonials and Photos

Pam is just the sweetest most relaxing spirit. I got an amazing hot stone massage. I just love it when they place them between my toes* She is very thorough and open with her communication before, during and after the massage. She takes note of your conditions and address them to your preference. I enjoyed how she adjusted and managed the level of pressure she used through out the massage. She was also attentive to feedback during the process. My favorite was the menu list of the Types of Music. She created menu of aromatherapy matching the music/theme of the massage. Ex: Reggae=Coconut Oil Asian=Jasmine*( i went with that one) Really helps set the tone and energy for the whole experience. She is home-based business in the Filmore district in a wonderful building. I walked around the amazing gardens afterward before i hit the concrete jungle. I was also impressed with her first-timers Discount!! She is also working with people with her pricing due to economic status! She is kindred soul, who will nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Check her out! 1/2 off for the first time!

Pam is the BOMB! I've gone to many other massage joints over the years, and Pams has the best hands of anyone! Pound for pound the best massage out there. Not your run of the mill spa massage. Pam takes notes and knows her clients. She remembers my hot spots every time I go, and she always asks the right questions before the magic begins. After my last massage with Pam I told my girlfriend (who also sees Pam) "It's like Pam's hands are reading my mind!" Super friendly and super knowledgeable. Treat yourself!

Pam is simply THE BEST MASSAGE THERAPIST out there. I have tried many other people in hopes of finding someone closer to my home in the east bay, and always end up going back to her. Its so worth it. Her massages are incredible and leave me feeling physically, emotionally and spiritually fantastic, like a new person.

She is hyper responsive to your every need even before she begins the massage, by asking your personal preference for music, scent, what area of your body needs attention, although she'll always figure that out for herself anyway, and then she remembers everything next time you go back. I am very picky when it comes to massages, and hers are superb, and are adjusted to your preferences for style, pressure, etc. Its obvious that she genuinely loves pampering people.
Pam will also take time to discuss other health and well being issues with her clients. Over the years she has given me numerous tips and directed me to other resources on a variety of topics. Its part of her nature to extend herself that way.
I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a satisfying massage and all around experience, its worth every penny.

where to begin? pam is amazing! sometimes i think she must have three arms the way she works the hot rocks on my back. magic in a word. bliss in another. she is completely present to the intuitive language happening between my muscles and the warm stones in her hands.
from the moment i arrive i feel a sense of well-being in her presence. after the initial check-in when you let her know what's going on with your body and choosing the music you would like to hear and the scent for the oil, during the actual massage you can either talk and enjoy a lively exchange or choose to be silent and just float in a transcendent state of peace-- both feel natural and comfortable in her presence.

besides being intuitive, pam is also a great communicator and will check-in with you during the session as to pressure and degree of heat for the stones, adjusting to whatever you need in a very easy, fluid way. ahhhh... to feeling heard and responded to from a deeply caring, grounded, skillful massage therapist. i always leave feeling as though i am levitating my way home. i receive a hot stone massage from pam once a month and have never felt better. she truly is a gift and a gem in our own backyard.

I have so many great things to say about Pam, I really love her! She is an absolutely wonderful massage therapist. She is warm, caring, funny, down to earth, knowledgeable, skilled, and just an all around great person. I trust her completely, and enthusiastically recommend her to everyone I care about.

Pam listens to you, and she listens to her own hands and intuition, which I think is an unbeatable combination!

She is interested in and available to discuss other health issues you may have, and she is generous in sharing, whether it be contact information for a fellow practitioner, health information, the name of a book or CD, whatever. She is very interested in your well being!

Pam is honestly wonderful, and I recommend her completely. You won't regret meeting her, she will make you feel better! I leave my massages with Pam feeling at peace, cared for, relaxed, and revived. Pam rocks, people!!!

I have been getting massages from Pam for the past 15 years. She is one of those rare people whom you get a positive feeling from the moment you meet her. She is not only an effective massage therapist but also a caring person. I always feel better in body and mind after her massages.

Even though I have been her client for so long, at the beginning of each visit, she'll ask me where my problem areas are, never assuming that my pains are the same as last time, and what other stresses I have in my life (without being too nosy or prying).

She completely understands anatomy and always knows how to treat whatever pain I'm feeling. She'll even whip out one of her books to show me what muscles she's treating when I ask and will show me stretches that I can do between massages.

I prefer a lot of pressure, and contrary to her small frame, Pam can deliver. She also has a light touch for those extra painful areas.

Pam really cares about making my body feel better and about my general well being. Every massage has been a great experience.

This is the BEST MASSAGE I'VE ever had, and I've had a lot. Pam is a true healer - she will fix whatever it is that ails you! She is very strong and really straightens out all my kinks. I first met her when she was doing chair massage at Whole Foods, and I followed her around to a couple of different spas and finally to her own home business. So, the best possible massage for a very affordable price - you should definitely give it a try. Let her melt your cares away....

I have been to umpteen massage therapists in SF and I have to say, Pam is the BEST! She does a 90 minute hot stone massage that changes my life and my disposition every time. Her pressure is always right on. I've been to many massage therapist that dig so deep or have a light, feathery touch and I cannot relax the entire time. Never the case here. The stones she uses are warm, smooth and lovely and help to penetrate the muscle leaving me noodle-like every time. I no longer desire to have a regular massage without hot stones because the difference is amazing! SHE is amazing!

Pam is absolutely the B-E-S-T massage therapist around. FIVE STARS! You would be hard pressed to find any better. I have been regularly receiving her massages for almost 14 years! She can take one of my migraine headaches away in a about 5minutes. Her massage is very intuitive, nurturing and pampering yet because she was trained in Canada, it is also like having the technical expertise of a doctor as well. OK, let's talk about her HOT STONE massages. Once you have one of her HOT STONE massages you can never go back! It's utterly the most relaxing massage I've ever experienced. If you can't take a week off to go to Hawaii, schedule an hour or hour and half hot stone massage and you will thank yourself profusely for doing so. It is the perfect antidote to a stressful day/week. The perfectly heated palm-sized river stones in combination with the oil and her expertise in handling the stones while simultaneously massaging and running the stones along the muscles produces an extraordinary feeling of relaxation that --for me--last for days. I can't say enough good things about Pam's massages. I feel like she has 'saved' my body so many times over in the last 14 years. Aside from being a great massage therapist. she's a wonderful human being too. She is very wonderful to her clients, very caring and listens carefully to what you need. Practically all my friends go to her now. Her massage room is very clean and comfortable and very relaxing. Great selection of music (if you like music during a massage but you can also opt to not have music).

"Listening to the sounds of Loreena McKinnett's Celtic Music and inhaling the native, floral scents, I felt I was being massaged on the bluffs of the British Isles."

"Your Pregnancy cushions are great! It was absolutely heaven being able to lay on my stomach while getting massage throughout my pregnancy!!!"

"After receiving my first Hot Stone Massage from Pamella, my aches and pains melted away.The heat of the stones warmed my body and contributed to better circulation. Pamella took individual care with me which created safety, nurturing and allowed me to enjoy a truly awesome massage."

"Releasing Trigger Points in my trapezius muscles eliminated my headache and the stretches Pam taught me helped to prevent them from recurring."

"Pam O’ Dea, Registered Massage Therapist, has been volunteering her services in San Francisco Unified School District since the fall of 2001 with her "Touch Lifting Community Program" (TLC) . Each week she randomly picks a school that has a list of teachers and principals who have signed up for the chance to receive a one-hour complementary massage at Pam’s private studio.

My school, Mission High School (MHS), where I work as a nurse practitioner, has 40 teachers on the list. MHS has the lowest achieving students of any schools in San Francisco and our teachers and principals have an unbelievable amount of stress. They work in a small war zone trying to fix the problems brought on by poverty, immigration, as well as family and community violence.

So far, 7 of our MHS teachers have received the gift of Pam’s TLC massage. Without exception, they have been delighted and have reported that it has helped them in dealing with their daily classroom stress. Pam also comes to us during our anti-violence month in January. Last January about 20 of our staff received a complementary chair shoulder and neck massage in our own Wellness Center. Typical responses were; “That just felt like a preview of heaven,” and “I feel as relaxed as a gummy bear.”

Eventually our goal is to get students’ involved in such practices as a healing massage circles. San Francisco is lucky to have a professional yet loving healer willing to volunteer her time in our schools and with our teachers. We dream that other professional healers will volunteer in our schools, as the need is too much for one person alone. I personally can recommend Pam’s TLC program to be adopted at any school district anywhere in the world."
