Services
Shurrone Wallace began her career as a massage therapist in 2001, when she graduated from the National Holistic Institute with certification in the 720-hour program in sports, deep tissue, shiatsu and Swedish massage therapies. A former New Yorker, Shurrone drove across the U.S., arriving on the West Coast in 1999.
This massage incorporates a system of long gliding strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of muscles. Its emphasis is on increasing the circulation of blood while relaxing the body. A relaxing and soothing massage in a side-lying position or on a body cushion. This massage addresses lower back pain, tension in the mid to upper back, neck, hips, and legs.
I am located at 35 Embarcadero Cove, within the Embarcadero Cove Marina in Oakland, next to the historic Quinn's Lighthouse. Look for the flags on top of the lighthouse, head toward the waterfront, and my office, a large peach Victorian, will be set back to the right. There are signs on the path leading to office 35.

It's been a long pandemic and my usual marathon training and self-care regimen had fallen by the wayside. Plus a shoulder condition was affecting my running - throwing off my gait and causing other issues.
Then I met Shurrone! Over six appointments, she worked out the kinks so I could train more effectively. After each session, which incorporated Swedish, deep tissue and cupping, I felt recharged - like I had a fresh pair of legs and could keep going the distance. My neck, shoulders and back also felt good as new!
Two weeks ago, I ran my first marathon in 19 months - and raced better

This was the first massage I've had in a while and it was amazing! Shurrone was intuitive and attentive to what my body needed and responded in kind. I appreciate her questions at the beginning to make sure she could provide the care needed. At the end, I was floating. I'll definitely be going back!

I am lucky enough to have a employer who provides Shurrone's services to us on site once a month on a Friday (can you say - sign up for double sessions??)
Shurrone is great -- we sign up for 15 minute slots and it is SUCH a great way to end the work week!!! She really works out the kinks and focuses on tense areas to offer relief and relaxation.
She works her magic with finesse and friendliness and is a true joy!

I have been going to Shurrone for years!
She has massaged me Prenatal, Postnatal and Mommy needs to relax. Now mostly it's all about tension and knots, but I trust her wonderful skill to help get my body back to order.
She actively wants to know about your body issues and really focuses her efforts on healing you. She is not a go in get a massage and be done with it. This is the person you want on your health care team to healing.
She's just amazing.

I forgot to write a review last year!
My boyfriend absolutely loves Shurrone! I've taken him to her twice now (once for his birthday), and shes fantastic! Shes very personable as well as very skilled in her profession. He's gone to other masseuses and has had bad experiences. When he left Shurrone's, he was extremely relaxed and pain-free. She worked out all his knots and tightness in his body. Also, my boyfriend is a talker! He will talk your ear off but he really enjoyed his conversations with Shurrone. He said she is very intuitive with people.
The only bad part is she is

A long overdue review for an incredible massage therapist and human being! I have been seeing Shurrone for years and followed her from Alameda to Oakland. At first I would see her a couple of times a year, which was always a treat. For the past 2 years I've been seeing her bimonthly and it has been life changing. My sciatica is a thing of the past, plus I get to hang out out with an awesome person every 2 months!

Since I moved back to Sacramento from the East Bay I don't get massages from Shurrone nearly as often as I would like to. Today I drove from Sacramento for a tune up with Shurrone and she did not disappoint! Excellent as always and I feel so much better. Even gave me homework suggestions to help with my trouble areas. Thanks Shurrone!

Now that we're expecting our second little one, I must say that after some comparison, Shurrone's prenatal massage is second to none. Unlike all other prenatal massage therapists who have worked with me, Shurrone is the only one who modifies her massage table so that I can safely and comfortably lay face-down vs. on my side. She's really able to work out those kinks that are related to pregnancy in a way that side-laying massage cannot. I have been her loyal client for over a year now.
Shurrone is at the top of my list for prenatal and postpartum massage therapy. Trust me, you&apos

I never understood when people talked about falling asleep during massages...until I came to see Shurrone. I basically pass out for a part of the massage every time. It's relaxing, but she's also super strong, and really digs in to any problem areas you point out to her. I've been to her a few times now for prenatal massage, and I would highly recommend her...pregnant or not. The pregnancy pillows with the cutout are pretty amazing though, I must say.
I appreciate that she's always upbeat, and has a good vibe. And she's clear that she's not chatty during the massage

WHAT a massage! Due to an injury some 20+ years ago, I've been in and out of treatments -chiropractic treatments, acupuncture treatments, other massage treatments- but this was the most amazing massage I've received to date! The addition of the hot rocks were a PLUS! I do highly recommend calling Table for 1 if you need to "get your massage on!"!!!

Ive had many massages over the years, and by far Shurrone has been the best. She asks whats bothering you, and she will work that area A little extra, talking you through it, to make sure she's hitting the right spot, but careful not to overwork it. Her table is located in a very comfortable atmosphere. Big plus for the heated table :-) I will defiantly visit her again, because, not only is she professional about her business, she has a very bubbly/friendly attitude. If you don't see the little guy as her about Snickers. He will come out, give you a few licks, then go lay on the couch
