My office is a well-ventilated and quiet oasis located in South Berkeley, a short walk from Ashby BART. I look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. As a courtesy to those immuno-compromised clients I serve, please be prepared to present proof of vaccination at your first session.
My interest in the transformative power of touch began during my nearly four years of residence at the Esalen Institute, a historic healing retreat center. I immersed myself in the study of a wide variety of somatic healing modalities including, Esalen Massage and Deep Bodywork, Feldenkrais, Craniosacral Therapy, Gestalt Awareness Practice, yoga therapy, and 5 Rhythms Dance.

I am so grateful to have found Jordanna!
I've gotten massages in the past and never found someone that left me wanting to come back regularly, until I met Jordanna. She is so talented, and most importantly, leaves me feeling so amazing, that I've made a commitment to see her monthly.
Once things started reopening in spring of 2021, I decided to resume my search for a great massage therapist. At that time, I was just looking for someone to help me relax a bit and destress from a rough several months. I was referred to Jordanna by one of my own clients. When I met Jordanna, she was so

Jordanna was just what I needed. She is the perfect balance of knowledge, strength, and healing. She was able to target areas needed most with wonderful modalities and techniques. I left reminded of the importance of self care and felt invigorated and relaxed. I will be integrating her services into my wholelistic health care regimen. Thank you Jordanna, you clearly have found your calling.

Jordanna is such an amazing massage therapist! I had gotten in a car accident in December and had a lot of stiffness and pain in my neck and back. I told Jordanna what issues/pain I had and she worked her magic! I've been to other message therapist before and I've never had a such a great experience and turnout.
She really listens to you and really cares about her clients. I never left our sessions dissatisfied, it was always something I looked forward to. Thank you for being such a awesome healer!

Jordanna is warm, skilled, attentive and through. She asked me excelente questions to better understand what was happening with my body and what I hoped to get out of the session.
Her office is clean, well ventilated and full of light. It was a little sanctuary away from the stress and something I especially needed during the hardships of covid.
After my massage I felt relaxed and refreshed, but what's even more remarkable is how I've felt since. I feel there's been a lasting noticeable difference in posture and body awareness.

Jordanna is kind of a big deal. She is not only an incredibly talented bodyworker, but she is an amazing fountain of information on the human body as well. She's got brains and the touch to back it up.
I had been feeling some general stiffness in my shoulder, something nagging and torn but not really knowing what. I booked an appointment with Jordanna. Our consult started with a very in-depth assessment of my posture where she looked at how that could be affecting my shoulder. Then, she offered me some very insightful concrete suggestions of daily actions I could take to loosen and strengthen

I was recently on Jordanna's table for the first time, and it was a truly sacred experience. My body was able to fully relax into the warmth of an attunement that requires no words. For me, this is a rare and precious experience that is only possible in the presence of a practitioner who is bringing to bear the fullness of their own inner practice. Such a gift!

Jordanna is a talented massage therapist and then some and honestly I feel lucky to have found her. Like you, I've been to a variety of massage therapists and bodyworkers. I myself am a psychotherapist with personal experience in yoga and meditation, shamanism, therapy etc. =Street cred.
Firstly, Jordanna is immensely present and attuned. She has a gentle yet powerful presence that is open and very clearly grounded in compassion. I was a little frazzled upon arriving and Jordanna greeted me just as I was. I believe this, along with her skills as a healer, allowed me to do some deep work

I'm usually just a hint dissatisfied by my massages. I'm happy to pay premium, and for that I expect a lot. A lover of the Esalen Approach, I had the great fortune of stumbling upon Jordanna when a visit from a friend prompted us to book massages from any venue we could find available. I returned to her once a couple months later at that same venue, but me being a new parent and her working not quite close enough meant I took a year sabbatical before I very intentionally went looking for her again.
To my delight, I found her having started her own practice, significantly closer to my

Incredible. One of the best massage therapists I have had the pleasure of working with. I could tell this is not just a job for Jordanna. She fully shows up to the session and turns her attention towards me while staying in her own body.
Jordanna is extremely knowledgeable and present. She listens to my body and works with it rather than on it. She offers a perfect combination of deep work and relaxation. She knew just where my body was holding and worked slow enough in the deep areas that my body felt safe to release.
Even before the session, Jordanna gave me her full attention and listened

Jordanna is an amazing massage therapist. Before I worked with her I was seeing a new therapist every session because I wasn't quite satisfied with my massages. I have been working with Jordanna for about a year and continue to be thrilled with my experiences. She truly cares about her clients and their experience, and starts every session with a conversation about how you're doing and what you would like to get to out of the session. I always feel so much more relaxed and revitalized after my sessions and could not recommend her enough to someone looking for a truly talented healer.

Jordanna's work is incredible.
Her slow and gentle touch allows my body to release thus allowing me to receive the deeper work. I am someone who really enjoys deep tissue massage, yet need the integration of slow and deep listening which Jordanna does without missing a beat. Her space is quiet, the colors feel calming and the soft natural lighting helps me to feel like I'm outside receiving at Esalen. I also like that she really tuned into what was happening both energetically and physically which allowed me to leave feeling complete.
Highly recommend her work!

I have had massages all my life, and Jordanna gives the best massages I have ever had. She is very welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable right away. She checks in with you prior to the massage to insure that she addresses all your needs. Sometimes I leave massages feeling sore, but with Jordanna I never leave feeling sore; I always feel well relaxed afterwards. I have told all my friends about her and whenever anyone asks where to get a good massage, I always recommend her. I am so excited to have found such a terrific masseuse, and I will continue to make appointments with her. She has

Jordanna is amazing. I have been a Massage Therapist for a long time, so I tend to be very picky and most often disappointed. Not this time. Some people just have the healing gift of touch and Jordanna has it !! She has a wonderful blend of flow and pressure with a great knowledge of anatomy. Truly, it is challenging to list an adjective to give her massage the due it deserves. It was like my Mind, Body, and Soul had a hot tub while eating the best ice cream, while surrounded by puppies:)
The most challenging part of the massage was to muster enough strength to pull myself back to this reality

Jordanna is the best massage therapist I have ever been to! Her long, slow strokes completely relax you while also getting out those tough knots. I recommend the 1.5 hr session to get your body completely stress free.
She is professional, friendly, and gives good recommendations about how to take care of your body between massage sessions. And I also love the relaxing music she plays while massaging you.
I've been to other massage therapists, but none compare. Jordanna is the only one I will go back to from now on.

Jordanna is such an experienced and talented massage therapist! I especially enjoy her Esalen style. Jordanna is able to combine deep tissue and relaxation techniques that bring me into a very deep state of relaxation and healing. I have been seeing Jordanna for chronic pain issues for almost a year and the results have been tremendous!

Jordanna is a healer with immense knowledge about the human body. I came to her anxious and tight in my muscles and left feeling light, right and easeful in my mind and body. I had been having several weeks of anxiety and this massage was my tipping point back to calm and contentment. First off she offers an Esalen style massage which I was unfamiliar with, a style I'm now hooked on....think integrated waves of pure muscle body bliss with the perfect level of pressure, music and rose infused fragrance. I've been having issues with my anxiety and hip joints and she gave me solid advice

This is the second time I've been blown away by Jordanna. The first time I was on the verge of having a migraine and this second time, it was an overall stressed body-issue and I accomplished more relaxation in on me session than I have since I can remember.

There are good massage therapists and then there is Jordanna. Miss Glueckauf is in a class of her own. She not only keys into what your body needs, she keys into what you need mentally, spiritually, emotionally and helps to provide that in her exploration. Having a rough day and need a gentle touch? She provides it. Body stiff and you need a deep penetrating elbow to your shoulder blades? Done. She reads you like a book and writes a perfect dissertation with her hands. Not only that, she's professional, timely, and fair. I've been getting massage work done regularly since a nasty fall

My massage was very soothing. I loved the long strokes - from the foot all the way up through the back and down the arm. In my experience, long strokes like that are quite rare in the massage world. Jordanna also integrated some stretching and joint movement into the session, which was just wonderful!
She used a pillow instead of a bolster and I absolutely loved it! My legs tend to fall asleep on the bolster and I become extremely fidgety.
Well deserved 5 stars!
