Yuki Takaishi Payne

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.

For more than 25 years, I’ve been practicing Amma massage, a deeply grounding form of bodywork rooted in the principles of Chinese medicine.

Using rhythmic, acupressure-based techniques, Amma works with the body’s energy pathways to encourage circulation, ease tension, and settle the nervous system. The massage is done fully clothed, allowing you to relax deeply without having to disrobe or wash off any oils.

Many clients describe feeling lighter, more open, grounded, relaxed and rejuvenated after a session. Some even say they feel a little taller.

A Practice Rooted in Touch

My Amma journey began in San Francisco in 1998. Since then, I’ve continued to study and refine this work, while also training in seated massage and workplace wellness.

I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of people over the years, from busy professionals looking for relief from everyday stress to those needing gentle, compassionate touch during hospice care.

Come as you are. Take a breath. Feel good in your body.

I look forward to welcoming you.
