Nathan Gist Massage

On Call Massage Therapy in the SF Bay Area

My massage combines Eastern and Western Modalities including Deep Tissue, Swedish, Sports, Acupressure, Tui-na and Cupping. When I was 4 years old (in Virginia) my mother came home with orthopedic shoes that had a reflexology chart, and I was fascinated and continued to work on her feet for 16 years.

I was always interested in Eastern Culture with Martial Arts and Healing arts and I studied Martial Arts since I was 9 years old.  I studied 16 martial arts on my journey to becoming a 2nd degree Black Belt with Grand Master Quoc Dung in Maryland.  I lived in the karate school for several years and trained law enforcement and navy seals.  We got injured often and I worked on the students to help them heal under Grand Master Quoc Dung’s guidance. 

I became more interested in healing and moved to the west coast to study Chinese Traumatology. I interned with Greg Zang at Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, CA and also at various massage schools throughout the SF Bay Area.

I've been working in the SF Bay Area certified and licensed and insured for 14 years & have performed thousands of massages with clients including Olympic Gold Medalist and other athletes and formed long term relationships with clients (such as Tom Perkins the Venture Capitalist for 11 years). 

With this combined experience, I have a knack to collaborate with the client to address their needs including pain relief, post event healing and relieving chronic holding patterns.
