Let It Heal Now

The moment I met Liza I knew I wanted to work with her. She’s calming, present, knowledgeable, professional and passionate. The Bowen technique and Metabolic typing have been helpful to get rid of pain and maintain comfort. I have also received a pregnancy massage from her last year. Liza has expert hands. I recommend scheduling a consultation with her ASAP.

I was diagnosed with three bulging disks in my neck after my accident and suffered from a chronic pain in my shoulders and neck for a while. I have tried many things — different kidns of massage, chiropractor but they all helped temporarily. Bowen Method was completely new to me. It is definitely not a massage.
When I saw Liza, she was very attentive to my needs and very supportive. I went to see her multiple times and after each time I got a surprising amount of relief.
Liza is VERY knowledgeable in her field of expertise and a great healer. She looks at your entire body and your lifestyle and offers advise on many more levels than just giving you a Bowen Treatment. Just presence is very grounding where you know and feel that you are in truly caring hands. I highly trust and recommend Liza for Bowen Method.

I have been going to Lisa on and off for around 5 years for Bowen — I recently fell and fractured my arm — the doctor sent me to a physical therapist and then I thought of Lisa — she has helped me more than the PT — she is such a sweet person, knowledgeable and has helped relieve my pain. I leave her office relaxed, happy and not in such pain. She has helped me and my family in the past and we will continue going to see her. She has moved her office to downtown San Mateo which is easy to get to. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Thank you Lisa, you are great!!!

I was a first-​time Bowen Method client, and really amazed at this technique.
I came in with a lot of chronic pain and imbalance. Now, several major chronic pains are almost gone. My spine is much closer to perfect alignment, and I find myself sitting with perfect, ballet posture.
Bowen is totally new to me. The closest comparison I know of is Feldenkrais, which retrains the nervous system to relax and balance the deep layer of muscles that massage can’t reach.
The Bowen session also came with a feeling of total bodily and mental relaxation. It reminded me of a good Reiki session. I have been so much calmer and more productive since my session.
Liza doesn’t sell herself and has a very quiet personality, but I think she feels strongly about offering real skills. That’s what I get bodywork for, not hype and bubbles. (Her music is great, though.)
A 6 session package offers a very good price for personal bodywork from a well trained practitioner. (Try pricing out Reiki work!) The individual session price is not bad either.
The environment isn’t «spa,» it’s health club, fairly basic but clean and quiet. The prices aren’t spa prices either.
Yes, that building complex is hard to navigate, but it’s right off highway 92 so it’s convenient. You are heading for the Foster City Health Club. From Chess Dr., enter the complex at the entrance with the Fed Ex and USPS mailboxes. Go straight to the back of the lot, turn left and park where you see the Health Club entrance.

Got their promotional offer from groupon and made yet another mistake. First, it was hard to find the place in midst of business blocks. Secondly, kept calling the number but there was no response. This spoiled the situation and wondered if they would ever think about how to improve their business and get more clients. Massage wasn’t great, the massage bed had an odd smell and all I thought to myself was was «why am i here?» Didn’t feel relaxed and not using this business anymore.

Wish I could write a better review, but honestly I’ve had better. Didn’t feel welcome and I felt rushed because I had a «promo» from Living Social. Not satisfied and definitely Not returning.

The explanation of the star ratings that Unilocal uses pretty much sums this massage up: «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» I can’t speak to the Bowen stuff as I only got a massage, but it was definitely nothing to write home about.

Wish I could give a better review, but Liza turned down my boyfriend’s appointment when he didn’t show up within 15 minutes of the appointed time. As for the massage, it was pretty good, not 5 stars, but probably 4. It’s a shame that she wasn’t flexible since he was almost there. We weren’t expecting him to get a full massage anyway since he was late. Unfortunately, because of the inflexibility, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

I have been seeing Liza for a little over a year. I had a traumatic leg injury and her lymphatic massage was the only thing that worked to help my pain and swelling. I see her once a week and I look forward to it, and for a long time… it was the best hour of my week. Liza is talented, educated, informative, and just great. I recommend her to everyone I know. If you are looking for pain relief, stress relief, or just a great massage Liza is the person to go to.

I have been going to Liza for Bowen therapy for a couple of years. She is fabulous! She always listens very carefully and I walk out of there a new person. I’m constantly amazed at the pain-​relief that is provided by this therapy and Liza’s expertise in implementing it. Best of all, it is extremely gentle. I have highly recommended Liza to my friends who have reoccurring pain and to those who just need a great massage.
