I have worked with Stacey for the past five years for shoulder and neck pain related to radiation therapy seventeen years ago. The cancer treatment resulted in scarring of the ligaments in my jaw, upper back and neck muscles. Stacey’s unique style of deep tissue massage, combined with myofascial release techniques are not only immensely relaxing, but also serve to loosen the scarred areas. Her techniques have kept me from having to undergo more drastic treatments (such as surgery) – I recommend her highly.

As a competitive runner, also trying to balance my crazy life, I turned to Stacey over 6 years ago to keep my body in balance. Well, if 6 years of massages don’t speak volumes of Stacey’s greatness, then you don’t understand the art of massage and healing. I am an “old” guy and I am still running 6:00 min/mile pace – I know that Stacey’s massage is a large part of that.

Who wouldn’t want a knowledgeable masseuse with strong hands and a gentle soul? I’ve been going to Stacey for years and she not only knows what’s going on with my back, but knows just what to do to fix it. My body always leave refreshed and ready for more abuse that I seem to always put it through. Oh well, it’s just more reason to come back for more Stacey time. I would recommends Stacey to anyone needing a great massage.

The best massage ever! I’ve had several massages throughout the country from a variety of therapists and have found that Stacey is incredible. This summer my physical and mental stress was reduced considerably through my sessions with Stacey.
This is not someone that takes you through a generic massage. She takes the time to truly understand what you need which results in a spot on therapeutic session. As a result of my summer & fall massages – my work, personal & exercise world is less sluggish and more vibrant.

Having lived in SF for almost ten years now, and having had my share of massages, there are only three CMT’s that come to mind as exceptional: meaning they have an intuitive sense and touch, backed by solid training and certifications, as well as a willingness to listen to the client.
The third of these three is Stacy Cook. Backstory: the second was Stacy’s sister, Kris, who I saw faithfully for three years until she decided to move to Costa Rica. Like her sister (I hate to draw sibling comparisons but i guess it’s ok here since it’s a favorable one), Kris, Stacy has a great intuitive touch and style and always uses the just righ level of pressure. Attentive and always will take the time before your session to ask about specific tight/sore spots, rather than just jumping into the session. Top notch and highly recommended.

Stacey is great! I’ve been going to her for four years. I’m not sure I fully appreciated her skills until I had different problems to address. It seems like she can fix anything in one session. She’s very intuitive and always asks what areas to focus on before the session starts…even though she’ll figure it out anyway. As an added bonus, she’s a very interesting person which makes for good conversation. I highly recommend her.

My girlfriend and I have been getting monthly massages from Stacey for well over five years, and for good reason. She is strong enough to get into my deep tissues, yet gentle enough for my girlfriend who doesn’t have as much meat on her bones.
As I write this, it occurred to me that I’ve been doing full-body massages for a year or two now. I used to get back-only massages, but I now find that my back feels fine. Is my posture better? Or has Stacey transformed me? You decide.
Our hours together are always enjoyable. As others have commented, she is a very interesting person and we inevitably gab the first half of the massage. But then she lets me pass out in sheer bliss for the second half.
You owe it to yourself (or a good friend) to call Stacey.
