With over 20 years of experience in the healing arts, Rebeca has dedicated her life to the practice of self-healing, intuitive touch, and movement. A blend of acupuncturist’s precision and healer’s heart, her approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the body’s capacity for transformation and its innate wisdom. Her journey began with a deep personal exploration of movement and energy, which led her to study and integrate multiple modalities, including Swedish massage, Reiki, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Myofascial Release, and Tui Na. Rebeca’s work is a dance between science and spirit, combining Eastern and Western healing techniques with a deep sensitivity to the emotional and energetic layers of her clients’ experiences.
As a Mexican-Jewish woman, Rebeca draws strength from her heritage and personal identity, holding space for clients of all backgrounds and identities with openness and compassion. She recognizes the sacredness in each body she works with and understands that healing is not just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and energetic. Rebeca’s gentle yet powerful presence creates a safe, trauma-sensitive space for clients to release tension, restore balance, and step into their own power. Whether through her one-on-one therapeutic massage sessions or Alchemy Movement classes, Rebeca blends intuition, compassion, and expertise to guide individuals toward holistic well-being.
I am a Bay Area born and raised first generation MexiJew who crawled onto the path of ancient healing systems by way of my own search for the end of my suffering. Internalized oppression, childhood sexual trauma, and recovery from substance addiction are all some of the transmuted swords and wands I wield making my way through the world. I began practicing the Eight Limbs of Yoga at age 18 with Lars Caughlin and Bobbie Norisse at SF State and have continued practicing,and learning, becoming a certified Yoga and Acu-Yoga "teacher". I have been practicing and offering Massage Therapy since 2004 and founded Alchemy Massage & Movement Therapy. I offer a blend of Acupressure, Swedish, Shiatsu, TuiNa, Myofascial Release, Reiki Energy, and Intuitive Touch modalities to provide immersive, trauma sensitive healing sessions to my clients. I am deeply healed by my life work and grateful to practice in healing collaboration in tandem with the LGBTQI+, BIPOC, immigrant communities, as well as clients of the Oakland Acupuncture Project (Laurel clinic) where my studio is located. I endeavor to co-collaborate with clients in their healing journey’s, utilizing a “listening touch”, and the Alchemy Healing Modality; a blend of Acupressure, Swedish, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Myofascial Release, and Reiki. I am grateful to work in healing collaboration with LGBTQI+ , BIPOC communities, and clients of OAP out of her studio at the Oakland Acupuncture Project’s Laurel Clinic (OAP).
