  • “Massage with Zoë is life-changing. My body literally craves her touch. The amount of care and intention she brings is so palpable, it's a transformative experience every time. I am left so calm, grounded and energetically lighter. There is nothing like the 'Zoe works.' 100/10 recommend!"

  • "My first psychedelic journey experience with Zoë was exactly what I needed it to be. Zoë helped facilitate me through challenging moments with a calming presence, healing touch and practical somatic techniques. Working with Zoë before, during and after my psychedelic journey has been important to this part of my growth and healing journey."

  • “Zoë’s wisdom and compassion were truly transformative. From the moment I first met Zoë, her calming presence immediately put me at ease. Her clear and thoughtful communication throughout the process empowered me and made me feel safe. While I have been fortunate to enjoy many massages in my lifetime, none have left as profound an impact as those I received from Zoë before and during my journey work. She undeniably possesses the gift of healing hands. The moment her skilled hands made contact with my body, I could feel the depth of expertise and genuine care. Zoë’s touch transcends the physical; it’s a therapeutic experience that transcends relaxation — it’s a journey of healing and renewal."

  • “Zoe is an amazing instructor. She suggests the perfect modifications for those who are new or are re-integrating with a sensitive/sore body. Some days, with all that we juggle in these crazy lives of ours, I have a moment’s hesitation regarding grabbing my yoga mat, but when I think about how much better I feel when in Zoe’s presence, I toss the hesitation out the window and hustle to connect to her class. No class is ever exactly the same and I find myself gladly reteaching and bringing the brain-building exercises to my children and elders in my life. As our teenage daughter puts it, ‘It’s hard to put into words, you just have to give her class a try to understand Zoe’s gift.’”

  • “Zoë is the Good Witch of the South and the only body and energy worker in Santa Cruz to whom I trust my body and energy! Her work and her understanding of this precious life we live is profoundly healing, warmly connected, and informed with both the most au courant science and the truest of ancient worldwide wisdom. As a yoga teacher, she values what really matters, prioritizing individual journeys of growth and understanding over superficial irrelevancies, and I wish I could take her class right now. I miss her continually evolving practice and the valuable and humane wisdom and beauty she brings to this world very much, but my loss is Santa Cruz’s gain...so hop to it and book a session or a series of sessions!”

  • “As a retired senior, I have a healthy mix of curiosity and caution around psychedelic medicine. Zoë addressed both with well-written material that answered most of my informational questions, and then reassuringly addressed my apprehensions. Professional from the beginning, she was clear that her role was to provide a safe container for my experience. I was so pleased that we've already discussed a second session.”

  • “As a beginner yoga student myself, I can say without reservation that you are an extremely kind and effective yoga instructor.  I appreciate the way you use humor and give options to put us beginners at ease.  Your instructions are always easy to follow (though not always easy to execute!).  I have learned so much from you, and I would recommend your classes to anyone.”

  • “A massage from Zoë is one of my favorite treats for my body and spirit. Zoë is highly attentive to subtlety. Her massage work is detailed and specific. She addresses sore areas skillfully. Her touch has a healing, loving, gentle quality to it. The energy she brings to her sessions is clean, refined; her massages can feel like delightful sacred rituals. She leaves me feeling deeply relaxed and well cared for. Massage is one of my favorite things and I'm very picky about quality. Every massage I've had from Zoë has been absolutely wonderful!”
