Dean Woo Asian Bodywork and Massage

He made time for me when he didn’t really have it. He’s a good person and deserves to charge a lot more for his work than he does.

If you want real pain relief go to Dean, he is seriously a very good massage therapist. His energy work is nothing I had experienced before, and believe me, I had experienced a lot of them. I know a good massage therapist when I see one. If you just want a fry fru massage go to a spa, but if you are serious about a good massage you should see Dean. He’s the real deal

Dean has a unique style of massage which was new to me. I love (and require) deep tissue work, and was not disappointed on that count. What was unique: You will remain fully clothed (though asked in advance to wear loose-​fitting clothing) and therefore not have oil or lotion used, and you will lie on a spacious and very comfortable futon, which still has the face cradle.
In the first respect (and only in this respect) there is a resemblance to the massages I have had in China. But there ends any resemblance.
Dean seems to have great intuition about the emotional and physical state and needs of the client. That’s where the the spiritual element enters the picture.
He employs a technique that involves appropriate pressure and a variety of motions, sometimes with little pauses in between small repeated motions in a certain area, which allows the muscles to release gradually. My impression is that this encourages one’s own mind-​body connection to assist. Since he knew I wanted deep-​tissue massage, he didn’t hold back on some areas which I was surprised to find sensitive — namely the tops of my hands! Like most people, my neck, back and shoulders are the main chronic culprits, but I had no idea how much stored tension I had in some unusual areas. As a result, I left the session feeling particularly thoroughly relaxed throughout my whole body. Moreover, the result lasted a long time. If I lived in the area, I would see Dean regularly, but at least I can whole-​heartedly recommend him to those of you who do, or who also come for a visit. I should add that I was only in Davis a couple of nights, and Dean made time for me on a Sunday afternoon after promptly responding to a voice message I left him that morning. He’s obviously a considerate person who sincerely likes to help people.

Twenty-​seven years ago I was in a severe car accident fire. In that time, I have received thousands of body working sessions from wonderful healers. Recently due to some stress headaches, I looked for help while visiting my cousin in Davis. She knew Dean, their children had attended the same Davis school.
I was in awe of his intuitive deep healing, so much so, I scheduled two more sessions immediately! I might have to fly back to Davis, CA from Madison, WI, I loved his work so much! Yes, and headaches gone!

awesome experience with Dean Woo. exposed me to accupressure and all of its wonders. Really helpful and open to showing me how to continue releasing pain and doing energy work on my own at home. dean woo isn’t afraid of working deep and accessing stored pain, so be prepared to let go and trust and communicate your boundaries if the pain is too much.

Dean is such a gifted intuitive and body worker. Today was my first session, and I will be seeing him again soon. Honestly, this was by far the most amazing and relaxing body work I have ever had. His studio is calming, and beautiful. He answered all of my questions and put extra time into my session. I would highly recommend Dean, he is amazing, kind, and truly a blessing.

WOW! Dean is incredible! I wasn’t really sure what to expect as I have not had a lot of bodywork done, but what I received was better than anything I could have imagined. He uses his intuition and tremendous knowledge of bodies to pinpoint the exact energy blockage and release it. I feel AMAZING and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dean!

I had a great experience with Dean. He uses different techniques such as pressure point, active release, and energy transfer to heal whatever problems your body is having. I had work focused on shoulders for a pinched nerve, plantar fascia from running, and tight hip flexors. He was careful, deliberate, and I could tell immediately that my body was positively adjusting to the magic of his practice.

I just had an hour-​and-​a-​half session with Dean. Years ago I had chair massages from him at the Davis Co-​Op and they were incredible. Today’s session was phenomenal, simply amazing and I can hardly wait until my next session. The integration of his techniques, his strength and gentle personality combined make for a most enjoyable and beneficial visit. He also took the time at the end of the session to explain some of the techniques and their relation to what was going on with me. I was so impressed with today’s session that I immediately booked and paid for a session for my daughter.
