Rosie has an amazing touch. Her extensive knowledge and skill set allows her to get down to root of what is going on in the body and help the body to heal. She has magic hands!
She is very professional and easy to talk to. The moment I met her I knew I was in great hands. I have recommended her to all of my friends and patients! I know that when they go to see her they are going to receive the best of care. -

Pilates! Rosie has added pilates training to her repertoire!! I have done 6 sessions with her and it has really helped me have a better awareness of my body throughout all my daily activities... washing dishes, running, blow-drying my client's hair, whatever!
I feel stronger, more aware and am using my body with less stress. I had never done pilates before and I am so excited to see how it transforms my body!2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

I am a person who has had chronic neck and shoulder tension for most of my life. I am active and fit, and have a regular yoga practice too, but still I have neck and shoulder tension and pain creep back no matter how much I stretch and relax! It has been very discouraging. I have tried a number of types of body work over the last 20 years, and though I feel great right after the treatment, I have been disappointed with the length of time the effects last.
Rosie's method at The Body Praxis has surprised me. It is not typical body work, as in massaging the muscles into a relaxed state. She does neuromuscular reprogramming (I think that's it--). I had a session 5 days ago, and though I am tighter than when I left, I am still enjoying a whole lot of relief from my chronic pain and tension. I am surprised and delighted, and I am definitely going back. I am reserving the 5th star for when my reprogramming is complete! -

I've had chronic shoulder pain for almost 10 years! I spent 5 years on workman's comp with every type of physical therapy under the sun. I finally gave up and said I'll just live with it. It has gotten better over time, but there was still a nagging ache.
I went to see Rosie 2x and she helped me finally get rid of the pain. Gone! I had made sure to get my work situation ergonomically correct and I had been exercising. But she helped realign whatever was funky in there so that everything was working smoothly.
She's a different masseuse - not the regular blank out, deep rub, muscle mush. She actually works to make sure whatever is not working gets fixed. Its almost like physical therapy. It still feels good! But it is more medical -- in a good way.
If you have injuries or nagging pain, give her a call. She can work wonders! -

I went in to see Rosie with two separate injuries that were keeping me up at night. After 90 minutes, I walked out of there feeling much improved! I slept without any pain.
She works with your body to get it to do what it needs to do, instead of keeping old habits.
Also, I'm 5 months pregnant, and Rosie knew exactly what to do with me. I can't wait for my next appointment. -

I am always so happy when I find a health care practitioner that I can add to my wellness team. Rosie is amazing! I have had a lot of bodywork over the years and Rosie Liebe is one of the best! In my first session with Rosie she worked on my shoulders, which have had a lot of injury and overuse for years. After that session I had no more shoulder pain, my range of motion increased significantly and I felt much stronger. Since that session I have had many more. She has resolved low back pain, leg pains and chronic neck tension. She is a very skilled therapist with great knowledge and awareness of anatomy and muscle function. Her office is easy to find and a very relaxing environment. I highly recommend Rosie at The Body Praxis for the best muscle therapy in Oakland!

Rosie has an amazing understanding of the body and multiple massage techniques available to her skilled hands. Each massage is a little different, all depending on what you have going on in your body at the time. She is expertly skilled at finding exactly the spot(s) that needs to be fixed and using the most appropriate tools to help you walk out feeling brand new. Need a blissful, relaxing, let-go massage? Rosie is your LMT. Working with structural issues like frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel or sciatica? Rosie is your LMT. Worked a little to hard in the garden this weekend and are now feeling stiff? Rosie can work out and remove all those kinks. Her rates are incredibly reasonable given how skilled she is and she offers gift certificates for your loved ones.
Rosie Liebe with the Gift of Touch - a truly is a gifted massage therapist and I recommend her without reservation. -

Rosie is not only warm and compassionate, but absolutely expert in her knowledge of the body. This is more than a feel-good massage -- I actually feel my body learning how to do things differently when I'm on her table. If you're recovering from a sudden or repetitive injury, she's the CMT for you.

For the past three months I have been training with Rosie at her studio doing Pilates. Adter our sessions I sit and stand straighter. I'm impressed at her knowledge of the human body and all the associated muscle groups. Her style is one of hands-on training that produces results in a safe and consistent workout. Her quick wit, tenacity and commitment make her a dedicated trainer and I look forward to each session with her.

Rosie has magic hands! She's all about figuring out the best massage technique for you and your needs, and is knowledgeable in many different areas to be able to provide exactly what you need. She has extensively studied a really specific type of muscle work called Neuromuscular Re-education (NMR) which helps to retrain injured muscles so that they can function properly again, so that problems can actually heal, versus coming back over and over again. She's extremely professional and approachable, and is just fun to be around. I go to her myself, and I've referred many others to her, including my husband and parents, and they've all be very happy with her work. She does great de-stressing and relaxation work, as well as intensive therapeutic work. I highly recommend Rosie and her magic hands!

I've suffered from chronic plantar fasciatis for at least 10 years and had nearly given up hope of being pain free. My podiatrist said my heel spurs were the worst he had ever seen. Two days after my first session with Rosie, I could walk barefooted with no pain! I also noticed I was sleeping much better at night due to less tension in my body. It's hard to describe her treatments but they're not painful and they work. I told Rosie that she had worked a miracle on me!

I rec'd a recommendation for Rosie's Git of Touch by a merchant owner I trust. Generally considering massage a bit of a luxury that I do not have lots of sparef funds for, I held off calling for an appointment until I was in pain, quite early one morning
Rose answered --- well, how often does a masseuse answer his/her own phone? An appointment for that very day did not work out, but she gave me good, specific advice until we could see other a few days later.
Well --- a fool I had been not to make an appointment earlier. It was great, excellent, top-of-the scale massage and body work I received from Rosie. She also helped "educate" some of my muscles and me on what to do for future.
I scheduled two additional appointmets I was so impressed.
When, a few days later, I realized I had forgotten a conflict in my schedule that forced me to cancel and went online to cancel - the cancel was easy to make - but she contacted me via email right away with a nice note. No guilt-tripping. I can honestly say I can't wait until my next appointment.
Excellent -- I recommend Rosie's The Gift of Touch highly and without any reservation. -

Rosie is amazing. She's been instrumental in helping me manage my carpal tunnel and repetitive stress disorder. She's been the first person to have been able to have helped in all the years I've dealt with it. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's knowledgeable and professional and flat out nice. Other people's massages make me feel as if I need to go get a massage afterwards. Hers don't. Go see her.
