Robin Swan

I have had the privilege of knowing Robin for 9 months and of having her work her magic hands massage me. She has such strong hands, and great technique and a very good listening ear. Not only an ear for my ailments but for whatever I am dealing with emotionally at the time. She has become a friend to me and someone I get advice from. She is straightforward, just like her massages. The first time she worked on me I had been struggling with plantar faciatis for a year and after one massage I could walk around pain free. I was amazed. She even went the extra mile to tape me up with some kind of physical therapy tape on the 2^nd visit to give my calf and heel time to heal. I could go on and on about Robin at Firebird Touch Therapy in La Jolla! Thanks Robin, I appreciate all that you have done for me!

Robin is the BEST! I’ve seen her 6 times now, and am so grateful to have her in my life. The massage isn’t cheap, but it’s well worth every single penny. And you can buy 4 sessions at a time at a discounted rate, which helps.
The nice thing is you deal only with Robin. No receptionist. No assistant. Just Robin. And she’s so wonderful — good positive attitude and energy, and really knows how to read your body.
I had piriformis syndrome, and she literally diagnosed and cured me in one session. I saw the doctor a day later (previously scheduled appointment because my leg was going numb), and HE even gave her props for fixing me!
Seriously. She’s amazing.

The benefits of receiving treatment from a knowledgeable, well-​trained, compassionate Holistic Health Practitioner — with 3 decades of experience under her belt — speak in the results. Robin is a high caliber provider who delivers therapeutic myofascial treatments tailored to your health care goals. From NLP to Structural Integration, she blends modality technical expertise with intuitive knowledge. You will not find her doing the slip ‘n slide at the oil & lube.
I have been receiving Robin’s work for the past 7 years. I refer patients to her. As a licensed acupuncturist, with a massage therapy background, I understand what it takes to professionally deliver therapeutic treatments. When it comes to health care needs, don’t waste your time and settle for mediocre service with the deal du jour. Respect yourself — make the investment to experience the best in service and results.

Without a doubt Robin is the best massage therapist I have ever had. She is energetic and capable, has great hands, and has a deep understanding of the biodynamics of the human body. She worked on my back and foot, and after the session I was pain-​free for the first time in months. She uses several modalities, ranging from reflexology to deep tissue (she is strong) to aromatherapy and crystals. And she is one heck of a nice person!

Robin has worked with me on a regular basis for the last 3 years. I like a hard, vigorous massage. Robin delivers and really gets into all the tight spots. She seems to have an intuitive sense for what particular muscle set needs work and goes right after it. She is very talented, professional and enjoys a good laugh. I highly recommend her.

I had a pulled hamstring for about 6 months. I couldn’t get rid of it no matter what I tried. One 30 minute session with Robin and it was gone. I kid you not. She is magic. I really have no other words. Don’t bother trying anyone else. She is a guru.

The first time I received a massage from Robin, about 4 years ago, my legs were so tense from running, working out in the gym and just life in general, I was pretty sure it would take several sessions to work it out. She connected with me right away and tapped into my energy, helping me to release in 1 session. Since then I have received many massages from her and referred her to many friends. I don’t go to her for a specific kind of massage (ie Swedish, hot stone, deep tissue) I go to Robin for healing. She has so many massage tools under her belt that she intuitively combines all her techniques to give my body and energy exactly what it needs.
I appreciate her direct approach and no-​nonsense attitude. Definitely worth your time and money!

I came to Robin in great pain with a herniated disc. My physician suggested suggested surgery. But thanks to Robin I am completely pain free after just 6 sessions.

Robin is awesome! I had some pain in my right shoulder/​arm that the doctors couldn’t figure out. As a last resort, I started getting massages to help the pain. Someone told me about Robin and I have to say she is a miracle worker! With some intense sessions, after 3 months, I can say that I am pain free! Thanks Robin!
