Bruno Ferreira’s Bodywork and Craniosacral Therapy

Bruno is great. An accomplished bodyworker and a super nice guy.
The precision and warmth of his touch was immediately apparent and impressive.
He listened, and incorporated my inputs into his work. I hope I won’t need to see him again soon, but if I do I will without hesitation. If you feel like you might need massage therapy, then you probably need massage therapy, and I don’t think it gets much better, so go for it. Cheers!

Some massage therapists can make you feel better temporarily while you’re on the table. Dr. Bruno is so knowledge about the body and how to actually work with the body to fully release pain. I have worked with him around the chronic pain I experience in my neck from over exertion (crossfit). His touch is definitely therapeutic AND it feels good. I can’t say enough how great his work is. As a former massage therapist myself, I’m really picky. He’s so much better than I ever was! I think it’s because he really seems to grasp the underlying anatomy, and how muscles function together. Go see him, you will feel so much better!

Dr. Bruno is an amazing healer and human being. His humility, grounded presence, and lighthearted sweetness make for a profound yet joyful healing experience. His intelligence crisscrosses the right and left hemispheres — he is intellectually astute as much as he is deeply embodied. This comes across in his passion and skill and makes for a truly integrated bodywork session!

This review is over two years past due but I just moved back to the area and remember Bruno and can’t wait for his massage again. Hands down the best massage ever. Period. Magical and expert.

I’ve stared at a blank box for 5 minutes trying to find the right words to articulate how powerful and healing Bruno’s massage work has been for me.
By way of comparison, I have had many massages with many different massage therapists. And many have been good! It’s just that even the really good ones are often so methodical. If you ask for Deep Tissue, Swedish, etc., the therapist gives you that without too much attention to what your body needs or how it’s responding as they go along. The most they will do is adjust pressure. But other than that, it’s primarily about technique and less about the body on the table.
The difference with Bruno is that the moment he begins, he immediately becomes in tuned with my body. And as if each time is the first time he has met my body (indeed my body is different each time I see him), he very carefully and intentionally explores each muscle, checking-​in, and applying the perfect remedy for each area as he goes. He is extremely intuitive. I may go in asking him to focus on my upper back, and he will work magic on my upper back. But then he’ll check-​in with and work just as much magic on my head and neck, for example, which I come to realize is actually the source of my discomfort.
All said, I couldn’t recommend Bruno more highly. If you want a massage therapist who focuses on the massage, don’t go to Bruno. If you want a massage therapist who focuses on YOU and what is best for your body, he’s your guy.

The craniosacral work I’ve experienced with Bruno is deeply restful and profoundly spiritual. His gentle touch during the session and thoughtful conversation before and after allows me to feel heard and cared for. I spend the majority of my time working hard to care for others as a teacher and parent, so my time with Bruno is a wonderful opportunity to receive caring from someone else. The best way I can describe how it feels is this: it’s more relaxing than sleep, and it’s one hour when I feel released from all the roles I have in life – as an employee, wife, mother, teacher, friend. I leave my sessions feeling lighter and happier, often with new insights about my life.

I highly recommend Dr. Bruno for craniosacral work. I found that his presence, energy, space, touch, and conduct all supported my unfolding into the deeper layers of whatever was present for me during each session. The work helped me to feel the oceanic energy of my own nervous system’s subtle, self-​healing rhythms and it took me into a deeply relaxed space. With all the busyness of fall as well as the anxiety in my own life of a lot of changes going on, I found that having weekly sessions helped my brain and body a chance to slow down and integrate, giving access to deeper knowing. I would recommend having a long session and scheduling some free time for yourself afterward to remain in the silence and stillness.

As a healer, Bruno is able to combine his technical understanding with a amazing intuition, bringing them together in a way that has helped me shift both physically and emotionally. He is perceptive, gentle, and astute, and has the ability to make me feel incredibly comfortable during sessions – I instinctively knew I was in good hands with him. Coming in, my main issue was anxiety due to a high-​stress internship, school, work, etc. I also struggled with tinnitus, TMJ, and some neck pain/​tension. After our first session, my anxiety just melted away and dropped to a low it hadn’t been at all year long. Over our four sessions, I noticed that my ability to cope with my anxiety increased, my physical issues lessened, and I generally felt much more relaxed and integrated in my body and mind. Working with him was a truly beneficial experience!

Bruno’s craniosacral sessions have been very useful in helping me to relax deeply into my body after some heavy workloads on my side. His touch is very soothing, gentle, and well-​timed which allows me to slowly descend from external consciousness to internal consciousness. I appreciate his intuitive holds and flexibility to listen to the moment.
His work has offered me a glimpse into some patterns/​holdings in my own body, with simple metaphors that give me a different approach in how I relate to my body/​mind. Bruno’s work encourages the client to appreciate the silence, the non-​verbal information that is constantly happening in our system when we are tuned in to the channel. After a session, I feel more deeply connected to not only my present experience, but also the greater web of relationships with my environment (both ancestral, past, present, and future) that continually evolves how I perceive reality.
Bruno has a depth of knowledge, tools, and intuition in his field and I recommend his work for anyone interested in increasing their wellness, health, and awareness.
