Susan is an experienced massage therapist at Massage Therapy Center in Palo Alto with more than three decades of experience in therapeutic bodywork. She graduated from the Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto in 1995 and has dedicated her practice to providing individualized massage based on each client’s needs.
Susan believes the body is continually working toward balance and comfortable function. Rather than taking the same approach with every client, she draws from a combination of massage techniques and adapts each session according to the client’s areas of tension, preferred pressure, and goals.
Her approach recognizes the close connection between physical and mental well-being. Whether a client is seeking focused attention to areas of muscle tension or simply an opportunity to relax and recharge, Susan strives to create a thoughtful, restorative massage experience.
For Susan, one of the greatest rewards of being a massage therapist is seeing clients leave a session feeling renewed and better prepared to return to the demands of everyday life.
Outside of her massage practice, Susan enjoys relaxing and spending time with her husband, whom she met while they were both students in massage school.
Client Reviews:
“Susan was my masseuse. She was amazing. I hurt my calf running that morning and they fit me in for an afternoon appointment. Susan was quite knowledgeable and really, really got into the muscle and worked the knot out. I could barely walk when I went in and felt (almost) repaired when I walked out. Great massage overall, especially for he price! I will absolutely be back.”

“There are two kinds of massage experiences – one where you go to a fancy spa and get all the frills (sauna, steam, luxe feel, nice products), and one where it’s all about the body work (toss your stuff in the corner, no surround sound). They both have their place, but when I need a serious massage I go for the latter. Just had a deep tissue with Susan. SOOOO good.”
