Rebecca Z., CMT, is an experienced massage therapist at Massage Therapy Center in Palo Alto, practicing since 2016. She graduated from the Institute of Oriental Medicine with professional training in Tui Na Massage Therapy and specializes in Clinical Deep Tissue massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish massage, and Deep Bodywork.

Born and raised in China, Rebecca was introduced to traditional Chinese medicine at an early age through her father, a practitioner of Chinese medicine. That background continues to influence her approach to massage, which combines intuitive touch with anatomical knowledge and techniques drawn from both Eastern and Western bodywork traditions.

Rebecca takes an individualized approach to each session, adapting her techniques and pressure to the client’s areas of tension, comfort level, and goals. She has experience collaborating with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners as well as Western healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, which has broadened her understanding of different approaches to movement, recovery, and wellness.

Whether a client is looking for focused work on persistent muscle tension, a combination of deep tissue and myofascial techniques, or a relaxing Swedish massage, Rebecca strives to provide thoughtful, attentive bodywork tailored to the individual.

Before moving to the United States, Rebecca worked as a university lecturer in China. Outside of her massage practice, she enjoys reading, jogging, hiking, meditation, and spending time with friends. She believes that good health and a simple, fulfilling life are among life’s greatest priorities.

Client review:

“I got an excellent deep tissue massage from Rebecca at Massage Therapy and it was excellent. So many sore spots I realize I had during the massage, and while a bit uncomfortable during the massage, I definitely needed it and feel much better (fewer kinks across my body). Thank you!”

“Had an amazing experience and relaxing time with Rebecca” 

★★★★★ Cheraya W., Google Review

“I very highly recommend Massage Therapy Center!! I had the best massage of my life from Rebecca today. She very skillfully released a very large amount of tension from arthritic shoulder. She was able to give me more relief in 60 minutes, than very many therapists have been unable to over the last 20 years. I feel so much better, and can’t wait to go back soon. Thank you Rebecca!!!”

“The massage was a swedish style, fairly forceful but relaxing and not painful. I was a few cycles into chemotherapy and my body had a lot of random aches so this felt especially luxurious and beneficial.

Rebecca used every bit of the 75 minutes and worked hard to make this a positive experience for me. It truly felt like a gift.”

★★★★★ Edward F., Yelp Review

“I have had many visits with Becky. I have sore knees and I really feel I benefit from her stretching technique. She also has a strong understanding of several of the methods of using touch points that she learned as a child from her father, an herbal master in China. Highly recommended.”
