Dr. Stan S

Stan met me with kindness, in-depth explanation, and genuine care. Completely different approach to wellness than I have ever experienced. Absolutely recommend giving it a go. Found the intro session insightful and came away with some attainable strategies to improve my health.

I waited to write this review because I really wanted to see how effective the Shiatsu massage would be over time and I can confidently say it works. Like many others have mentioned, the first session with Stan is incredibly informative. I learned so much about how my body truly functions and flows. He also provided personalized exercises to continue the healing process at home, which I really appreciated. I initially went to see Stan with multiple areas of pain, one of which was TMJ. My jaw had been painfully tight for months. Amazingly, after just one session, I felt immediate relief—my jaw was more relaxed than it had been in a long time. That alone was enough to make me a believer. Stan is not only skilled, but he also takes the time to educate and empower you. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic pain or simply wanting to better understand their body.

We recommend Stan very highly! We had been looking for a shiatsu practitioner for my elderly mom for quite a few years, and Stan was absolutely wonderful. My mom is nearly 80, and had been suffering major joint and muscle pain for a really long time. She had been resistant to massage therapy because it always involved oil treatment and she hated that. She did acupuncture for a while, but quit going because her acupuncturist told her that her body was too blocked for it to do much good anymore. Stan was so warm, friendly, and welcoming when we met, and put my mom at ease very quickly. He spoke several Japanese phrases which made her so happy. He also connected culturally with her, understanding the cultural values ingrained in her as a first generation Japanese immigrant. That meant so much to her. We were amazed that he was able to show her which spots would hurt more and why, and having her experience immediate relief in ways that made so much sense to both of us. He gave us loads of incredibly valuable information (although it was a lot for my mom to take in and process, but it was great for me to know). We will most definitely be back. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Stan and that my mom is finally on a path for a little self care. He is absolutely phenomenal. Go see him!
