Isaac Meadow, Embodied Therapy

Isaac Meadow is the most incredible therapist and bodyworker I have come across and I don’t say this lightly. I am in a similar profession and have a really good radar for the skill level of people in healing professions. Isaac’s skills are OFF THE CHARTS.
Also, I’ve tried many therapists, teachers, healers, modalities, practices in the Bay Area and in New York and even abroad so I’m not new to this work anymore. At this point, I only write reviews for businesses whose level of skill, integrity, and heart stand out to me.
Isaac is incredibly wise and loving, has an extensive background in helping people, and here’s what sets him apart from the other lovely therapists in the Bay Area…1. He has so much range and 2. I can see actual results from working with him — truly deep changes happening on a regular basis.
If you want classic therapy or massage, he can do that. But if you want an experience that’s a bit more out of the box, he can do that too while still being incredibly professional and strong as a guide. I love this because a lot of people only do one thing and are a bit rule bound with their style. Isaac’s different.
I have brought many moods, topics, health concerns (both mental and physical and emotional), questions, desires, goals, and he consistently meets me where I’m at and then actively and with so much gentle power, guides me toward the experience I am longing for.
Sometimes we do talk therapy, sometimes yoga therapy, sometimes bodywork… and the range goes on to all sorts of special tools and practices that Isaac uses with great care and experience. Whatever you want, just tell him and see what happens.
No matter what we do, I consistently leave sessions with him feeling lighter, clearer, more in alignment with who I really am and what I really want — which then makes the rest of my life feel so much better. He is great about catching things that don’t feel right or make sense and in his calm and loving way, guide me to find the truth underneath the surface.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for the next level of therapy or massage, someone that can talk to you about everything from your knees hurting to the deepest question and turmoil in your soul, then make an appointment with this incredible human being. I cannot recommend him enough :)

Isaac is a no-​bullshit master at what he does. Deceivingly young in years, he is ageless in ability. Without ever purporting to have all the answers (in fact, reminding me lightheartedly he does not), he is nonetheless masterful in utilizing his Swiss Army-​like toolbox of techniques and modalities.
I’m a dynamic creature (aren’t we all?) and I worked with an MFT for many years — a satisfying experience so long as I was learning within the more traditional, western dynamic of client-​therapist talk therapy model. But eventually, talk was too shallow. I wanted to go deeper. Farther. Wider. Infinite. I knew there were richer levels to excavate, heal, transform and celebrate.
Isaac helped me go there.
Working at multiple levels — physical, psychological, spiritual, lifestyle — nothing is too pragmatic or esoteric to bring into my work with Isaac. Diving to Persephone-​esque depths or toward Ramana Maharishi-​trailed truths, he meets me there: holding the anchor as I discover, learn, grow in an utterly practical way.
And eventually, showing me how to hold my own anchor.

Isaac is an incredible therapist.
Anyone who has lived in the East Bay for more than a week will know that it is not short of people who work in the healing profession. In fact, I think it would be fair to say the market here is completely saturated with therapists, bodyworkers, and life coaches.
With all this choice at your fingertips, why choose Isaac?
About two years ago I found myself facing this very question. I was experiencing a bout of quite intense depression and was looking to find someone who could help me navigate and hopefully ease this discomfort.
Feeling somewhat desperate I sought out the advice of anyone and everyone who said they could help. In turn I was prescribed a vast array of suggestions ranging from dietary modifications to sacred mantras. Whilst everything helped in its own way, it wasn’t until I found Isaac that the biggest shifts started to occur.
Initially I was a little concerned about his youthful appearance and the fact that he was still in the process of getting his license. Those concerns quickly disappeared as I soon recognized the depth and breadth of his experience. He is a truly holistic practitioner and demonstrates a keen knowledge of many different modalities. Our sessions in the past have incorporated yoga, massage, energy work as well as talk therapy.
On top of this he is kind, patient as well as wise, all qualities he has had to exhaust during our sessions together. I came in with a certain sense of frustration and hopelessness, coupled with an underlying distrust of therapists in general. As a result I have pushed and tested him along the way and he has remained steadfast in his commitment to me. With time our relationship has shifted such that I now trust him completely and have since referred several of my closest friends to work with him.
All these many months later I genuinely find myself feeling much better and always look forward to our weekly sessions together. The work continues to deepen and remains as fresh, challenging and ultimately rewarding as ever. If you are looking to find a similar source of guidance and support and are wondering where to begin, then I suggest Isaac as a great place to start.

Isaac is a powerful healer. He has an amazing capacity to create a safe environment for you to be held and freely be yourself. His caring nature and grounded presence are only a few of the strong qualities he brings to his work. In my experiences with Isaac, he is consistently able to meet me during the various transitions in my life. I can say with confidence that Isaac is a strong and true healer that anyone would be fortunate to work with.

Isaac has an amazing background in all sorts of healing and psychosomatic modalities which makes the bodywork I receive from him able to span every level. Attentive, caring, intuitive, and knowledgable, I always feel like I’m in good hands. Thanks, Isaac, for your excellent work!
