Description

Specialties

Heather performs Thai Yoga Massage, Deep Tissue, Trigger-​Point Release (Myofascial Therapy), Zen Shiatsu Acupressure, Swedish, Aromatherapy, and Sport Massage Therapy. She is an accomplished Certified Massage Therapist, having graduated from the National Holistic Institute with over 900 hours of anatomical, kinesthetic, and practical massage training.

History

Established in 2013.

Heather dedicated much of her developmental years in Thailand to practicing massage and exploring the role of intuition and empathy when performing bodywork after she realized she had a natural passion for making people feel better through touch.

She established her private massage practice, Salus Massage and Bodywork, in San Francisco after obtaining her massage therapy certificate in September of 2013. To earn her title as a massage therapist and health educator, she completed over 900 hours of education in kinesiology and anatomy, and hands-​on training.

The name ‘Salus’ is Latin for health and well being, and solidly reflects the mission of this practice — to provide clients with the means to feel like the best possible version of themselves at any given stage in their lives.

Heather is so amazing! Wish I could give her 10 stars. She customs tailors each session using a bunch of different modalities, unlike other bodyworkers who have a set routine. Somehow she manages to fix body issues without all of that aggressive digging – she has such a magical energy and touch. I always feel like a new person body-​wise and rejuvenated mentally too!

Heather is pure magical. I always tell people she has healing hands. The second she touches you this sense of calmness just rushes over you. I have a lot of back and body issues, I danced for 18years and I do hair, bartend and cocktail. Needless to say my body takes a daily beating. Heather manages to take this pile that is a body and make it work properly. I just cannot tell you enough how many times she has healed me. This is one of those things where you really have to try it yourself to really understand. I can try and explain it but words cannot describe the experience properly.

Heather’s got great hands, a lot of knowledge, and a real connection to the human body with what she’s doing. She teaches while she works on you to help you understand your own habits and how they’re influencing your pain levels and tension. I love her studio, she keeps it very comfortable — but most of all she is easy to be around, great at working out your kinks, and smart enough to know what will hurt BEFORE trying to do it. (I’ve had past massage techs who would try things to SEE if they would hurt. That’s the wrong way!) She’s great.

I have had 3 sessions so far with Heather and all 3 have been beyond wonderful. She is very professional and on top of everything from scheduling your appointment to following up with your session.
She is located in the Inner Richmond area which is very nice and quiet area that makes your massage that much better. She has mostly done deep tissue massage on me for my incredibly stiff and tense shoulders. It takes her a good 20 minutes to warm them up, but I appreciate he approach to it. She is soft enough that she isn’t hurting me but applying careful pressure all over to make my muscles relax and change.
I haven’t got to try the Thai Shiatsu yet but I am hoping to try that next. She really makes sure that her clients are taken care of from start to finish. I can contact her any time and make appointments and even if I have had to cancel she is more than understanding and works with me to find a time that will work for me.
I recommend all of my friends to see her, truly great at her craft. She explains what she is doing, yet is calm and allows you to relax. She listens to you and is very personable as well for great conversation. I can’t say enough great things about her!

Also just want to note that Heather is great for runners/​sports massage. She has experience massaging marathoners and triathlon participants. After I ran the SF half marathon, I came to her saying «I’m sore». I wasn’t quite sure what I needed. She found all the tight, achey parts of me and worked them out with massaging and stretching. Afterwards I still felt sore, but also, amazing. As I said before, she’s awesome!

Why wasn’t Heather a CMT sooner?! I am extremely picky and am so glad I found her. She pays attention to detail and knows how to tailor the massage to your needs.
Heather is so sweet and pleasant and also her energy is so calm and peaceful. I always feel better after I get a massage from her.

What knots? I’ve been on the hunt for a great massage therapist and FINALLY found the ONE. I work a desk job and cook a lot so back pains and constant knots around my shoulders are inevitable. I’ve visited many spas and what she was able to achieve in a two hour session, none were ever able to do. After one session, I felt as though all my knots were released and ease any tension in my body. Heather is great at finding what works best with your body and also ensures the pressure applied to focused areas are of comfort leaving you calm and collected. I no longer worry feeling tense mid session or worry walking out feeling worse than when i walked in. What’s even best is she remembers your background so she’s able to custom tailor areas of focus. If you want a massage that will not only be beneficial, but also worth the buck, I highly recommend visiting her at least once. You WILL be hooked!

Heather is amazing. I was lucky to find her when she was still in training, completing her student hours, but even then she was more skilled than many of the fully licensed massage therapists I’ve been to. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Many times I’ve come to Heather completely unable to turn my head, with deep knots in my neck, back and shoulders, in pain, and after one session my range of motion has been restored and the pain is gone. She instinctively knows where the knots and trouble spots are and how to work them out.
Moreover, she’s warm, caring and personable, and I always felt truly taken care of when I saw her. If you’re in need of a massage, you should see her.

Heather is the best! She is not only a really cool person, but extremely talented and really cares about her clients’ wellbeing. I have seen Heather for many massages and have always left feeling AMAZING. She combines different massages techniques to target your most important problem areas. She really knows what she’s doing and enjoys her work.
I would recommend Heather to EVERYONE.
She also has really reasonable rates and a flexible schedule. Go see her, you won’t regret it!!!

So for her 80th birthday I decided to spoil my grandma and get her a professional massage. I asked before the session if her advanced age would be a hindrance and was assured it wouldn’t be problematic. Aside from climbing the stairs, she is old remember, my grandma was in heaven as miss udomrat not only catered to her limited mobility but also was able to improve her range of motion. Suffice to say the exemplary service, as well as, hands on approach is above reproach. Thank you and you shall be seeing more of the guardado clan for sure!

Before I started massage with Heather, constant body pain and uncomfortableness was just a normal part of my life… UNTIL THAT DREADFUL DAY. I must had slept wrong on my neck, I couldn’t even move. Crying over pain, I went to Heather to seek for help.
She gave me a quick massage (20 min), which drastically lifted the pain in the neck. I made an appointment the following week to do a full body massage (60 min)… turned out to be one of the best massage experience that I’ve ever had!
Heather can combine variety of massage styles/​techniques, read your energy, remember your symptoms, and improvise the treatment each time.
After becoming her regular patient, the epic stiff shoulders that I’ve had for over a decade is now GONE. It’s so nice to have a therapist who’d keep an eye on the physical condition, and share the joy of recovery.
