I had a third degree burn on my leg from the exhaust pipe of my husbands motorcycle. I was in pain and the Dr said I would probably scar and need laser to reduce scarring
Ida did MLD on my leg, within minutes the inflammation came down, the blistering drained on its own, the relief from pain enabled me to sleep, and it healed without any scar.

As a frequent traveler I swell all over after long flights, though am generally healthy. but i became concerned when my swellings wouldn’t go down for several months. After two sessions with Ida I was in the shower and my ring went flying off my finger! What more evidence is there for my swollen fingers to finally return to normalcy! I’d tried herbs and supplements and various exercises but I just needed this boost, she is so knowledgeable too about various things and she’s now my go-to after long flights and occasional tune-up to regularly circulate and detox and refresh. My (blood) circulation is also better. Lymphatic condition is so key to overall health I’m so grateful to have her expertise in my life, as I gradually enter an older phase of my life.

I visited Ida for a lymphatic massage, she is very welcoming and knows a lot about the body. Her space is very relaxing and when you walk in the room you know you are going to leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I told her I was experiencing some lower back/ ankle pain and she focused attention to the areas. Highly recommend seeing her if you're in need of relaxation and healing. After my lymphatic massage she told me to stay hydrated. Couldn't recommend coming to see her enough.

There are so many things that go into finding a good massage therapist. It's a combination of technique, skill, knowledge, experience, and also personality and comfortability.

I experience all of this with Ida Bella. Each session lead to great results. Not just that, but I'm very inquisitive, and she was happy to share her knowledge with me. From massage to cupping to facials I am 100% happy with my experience.

She is warm, kind and has a great sense of humor. Also, scheduling with her is very easy. She does have some flexibility in her schedule, which was accommodating and great for me. There is free parking. Location is easy to get to from 580, 13 or 24. Highly recommend. Love the little candies too!

From my first appointment, I never felt so amazing after my surgery. The massage feels so relaxing, makes you excited for my next appointment. I can already tell a difference is my body, and can’t wait to see more progress and improvements.

Ida is such an incredibly gifted healer. I have had a series of surgeries related to undergoing a mastectomy in the last 1.5 years and have seen several different practitioners who do post surgical lymphatic drainage massage and am so grateful to have finally found Ida. While I had good and helpful experiences with others, the quality of work, amount of relief and assistance in healing I have received from Ida are just on another level. I really can't say enough good things about how she has supported my healing process since my last surgery and wish I had found her before having my fifth surgery in 1.5 years! It had previously been hard for me to find someone who truly specialized in lymphatic drainage (something Ida has focused her practice on for over a decade after several more previous decades as a masseuse before that). She has also been incredibly compassionate and flexible with scheduling and has a lovely and comfortable office in Berkeley where parking is very easy.

I scheduled 10 lymphatic massages with Ida after my cosmetic surgery. This was such an important aspect to my recovery. I have no doubt that my smooth recovery process has so much to do with Ida's talents, skills and attention. Plus, it was really wonderful chatting with her during this time (a time when I was very much disconnected from others/stuck inside). I highly recommend seeing Ida.

I am so very grateful for coming across Ida! She explained everything to me about the lymphatic system and why it is so important for health matters. I was so interested and honored she would spend her time trying to help me. The lymphatic massage was not your typical massage, it was so much better soft calming touches put me into a euphoric state. The massage bed was warm, music lightly playing in a beautiful space. She also referred me to a naturopathic doctor. I feel blessed and not alone on this journey. Thank you so much Ida!

Ida was so helpful after surgery. She really improved my swelling and even helped me figure out some bigger picture issues. I'll definitely be returning even when I'm not post-op!

I had 2 plastic surgeries, and went to Ida for my post op lymph drainage. She made sure to explain the lymph system, and how the therapy works. I had Many limitations on how I could lie down, so she had her work cut out for her on working around these obstacles! She always made sure I was comfortable, and addressed any concerns I had. (Ida has a pillow for everything!:) I felt confident in her capabilities and in her care. Highly recommend.

Ida has worked with me for years. Chronic lymphoedema requires on-going treatment and Ida is my favorite resource. During and after my sessions, I feel relaxed, upbeat, and refreshed. Even though I moved to Washington, I see Ida when I'm in the bay area. Highly reccomended.
