Healing Bodywork

Totally excellent!
It says I have to write more for the five stars to show up… I would highly recommend Amy, she’s very cool and good at what she does. Absolutely

Amy Doublet. Where do I begin? How does one put into words how instrumental, how insightful, how inspiring and how important you have been as a part of my life these last few years? There simply are not enough stars on all of Unilocal to give to you… you are this amazing woman, person… friend.
I found you on Unilocal and when I came to see you for the first time you found me in a complete state of disrepair. Injury, trauma, pain, overwhelm, despair… a lethal cocktail that had consumed every ounce of me and my ability to function, physically and mentally I had been broken by my reality and how it all had manifested itself in my body and mind. You didn’t flinch. I know now because you knew what to do and in a manner that I believe to be rare and quite possibly is just plain unique to you. You are well studied and continue to broaden your toolset, but it is your being, your nature that gives you incredible abilities to impart your knowledge in meaningful, personal ways.
You listened to me carefully, patiently, then began to show me the way. You taught me new ways of thinking, seeing, practicing, and «fighting» (my word, never yours) through the work and methods of somatic experiencing. I began to experience my circumstances and the world at large with your eyes, your voice, your guidance, your friendship. How can one individual accomplish what you have done for my life for countless others simultaneously? I have no idea. It is superhuman. I am in awe of you every time I think of you. Sometimes I smile with tears when I think of you. It will sound cliché, as this is the problem with words sometimes, but very true, I do credit you with having saved my life and given me another chance at it. How do I repay that? It is impossible, but I would do anything for you Amy Doublet.

One of the best things that I’ve ever done in my life was booking an appointment with Amy.
I’ve been seeing her for 3 months already and my life has changed so much since then.
Amy truly does have a wonderful gift and heals your mind, body and soul.
Every session with her is a new step towards releasing all the pain of your past and creating a new, healthy, happy, joyful you.
The first time I saw Amy I knew right away that she’s the person I can trust my deepest concerns, doubts and issues. She is one of the most loving, kind, caring, inspiring people I’ve ever met. And the fact that she is always on the path of spiritual and educational growth makes her an absolutely amazing practitioner.
Amy truly makes magical changes in people’s lives.

I had been the victim of an attempted robbery at knifepoint a few months before I first saw Amy. As a result I was completely unable to sleep and pretty much became a nervous wreck in general as my insomnia progressed. My first diagnosis was sleep apnea by one doctor, then depression by another and then finally Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by still another doctor. I had hit rock bottom and out of sheer desperation was getting massages all over town from any massage therapist I could find for temporary relief from the constant state of anxiety that I was feeling.
I happened to stumble across Amy’s overwhelmingly positive reviews here on Unilocal and also noticed that she was a somatic resolution practitioner. I am so glad that I made that first appointment with her and it’s no exaggeration to say that it was a life changing experience for me. I knew immediately that there was something special about her and she would become a very significant person on my road to healing. We just talked the first two or three appointments before she did any bodywork on me. Once the bodywork started she used a combination of somatic therapy techniques along with massage. I noticed I felt a little better after each session and was starting to feel a little bit more relaxed and in tune with myself between sessions. After a little over two months of seeing Amy I was able to get a full night’s sleep without the aid of any medication whatsoever. Even more importantly I was starting to feel an incredible sense of well-​being and calm that I’ve never felt before and still continue to feel to this day.
Amy is so much more than a gifted and talented healer. She’s an extremely kind and caring person who makes a difference in people’s lives.

I’m hesitant to write my review about Amy because she is a true hidden gem — Once news of her gets out, I may never be able to book an appointment again!
I was excited to book an appointment with Amy after reading all her stellar reviews. She literally exceeded every expectation I had.
Amy has a true gift… She’s not just a massage therapist, she is a true healer in every sense of the word. Her level of intuition, awareness, and a sweet gentleness and wisdom is something I’m still processing. Magical things happen during her massages. Here’s just one example:
Prior to my last massage with Amy, I’d been dealing with an irritating legal issue that had been irking me for well over two weeks. Amy noticed a «tight blockage» in one area of my shoulder and spent a majority of our massage session working it out. Humming, breathing, and coaxing it into a relaxed, accepting state of existence.
Immediately when the session ended, I received notification that the legal issue had been completely lifted.
Coincidence? Maybe. Something more? More likely, since it has happened more than once.
Amy’s massages are stellar, and going to see her is rejuvenating for the entire body, soul, spirit, and mind.
She works out of her place in a comfortable, serene environment twinkling with crystals with several sweet cats that wander out and about.
Don’t just walk, RUN to Amy’s and be ready for miracles to happen in your life as a result!

I sought out Amy with the main concern of my chronic back pain. We had one massage therapy session and in that one session, I felt an instant connection and ease with Amy. She mentioned Somatic Trauma Resolution (or STR or Somatic Experiencing) as a therapy source I may want to try. Not knowing at all what I was getting myself into or how it was going to affect me, I decided to jump in and give it a go. The somatic experience process takes patience and awareness but with that comes stunningly effective results. After just a few sessions, I started to feel more grounded when interacting with others. I was more in my body and less in my head and as a result, I was less anxious and more present. In addition to the chronic back pain, I have a chronic tightness in my throat that occurs when I am upset or feeling emotional about something. After a couple months of somatic experience sessions, I am more than ecstatic to say that this tightness that used to occur on a daily basis, has now subsided to a rare if not at all occurrence.
Amy and I worked on certain topics in the Somatic sessions and eventually I learned how to be aware enough in my every day life of how my body was reacting to certain things and why. I learned how to track these sensations and emotions and essentially how to become so aware of them that they do not occur as often, if at all anymore. This work also taught me the ability we have to control our thoughts and maintain positive outlooks in day-​to-​day circumstances. The mind alone is the greatest medicine. With this somatic experience work, I found myself a more enjoyable person to be around and much happier in my day-​to-​day life.
Amy as a practitioner is absolutely amazing. I cannot express enough in words how enlightening, open, caring, loving, kind, powerful, knowledgeable and inspirational she has been in my life. She has been a mentor and a friend. Amy is someone I can trust with my deepest issues and concerns that I know wont judge me. She always offers advice that allows me to think and see things in a way I was missing before. She will truly change your life for the infinite better. See Amy, and you are on your way to a better more fulfilling life. Enjoy!

Besides the local happening hang out, I always seek a massage therapist to feel settled into a new environment.
I might just have found that person in Amy.
Her strength and comprehensive understanding of the body gave me the relief I sought. Plus, we were able to talk about some of the more spiritual elements of body work.
This is a very custom massage, so definitely worth a session to experience for yourself!

Amy is exceptional. She is not just a very gifted therapist. She also really listens, and she understands what you need. She CARES.
The room where she works is cozy, comfortable and very welcoming.

Amy is a true healer.
I met her at her place where she has a room set up for sessions. We discussed what I am looking to achieve and she went to work with her ‘magic’ hands and breath. Though I cannot exactly explain what she did, I felt lighter and refreshed after the hour session.
She has a wide variety of techniques and is very spiritual. I can’t wait until my next session!

Amy was incredibly kind and was a great conversationalist on top of being great at wellness therapy! Will definitely return when I get a chance!

I have been going to Amy now for a few years and she is hands down the best massage therapist in LA! She is intuitive and the massage goes much deeper than muscle work– every session is different and equally renewing and healing. She is currently working out of her home which she has converted one room into a healing/​massage room– I like the home atmosphere and it’s very welcoming and comfortable.
Amy has such a wide variety of techniques and she is truly intuitive and has a lovely, nurturing way about her.
I would recommend Amy to anyone who not only wants to have a massage for relaxation, but would like to learn more about themselves and go deeper into their spiritual body.
You never have to tell her where to go in your body or what to focus on– she will figure it out and you will leave feeling amazed!

Amy is an amazing, intuitive healer/​bodyworker. She helped me tremendously with chronic pain in my shoulder area, as well as using different modalities to heal and release energies that were embedded from my coaching sessions with clients. I can’t see enough about her care, attentiveness, professionalism. :)

Amy is brilliant! She has helped me with the side effects of a botched spinal tap that has been causing me problems for more than 10 years. What impresses me so much is that she is constantly furthering her knowledge of her field by taking a huge variety of related courses. I always feel amazing after she works on me!

I’ve been seeing Amy Doublet of Healing Bodywork for over 3 years now, and her massages and energy work are mind-​blowingly awesome! She listens, adjusts, and caters each massage to fit my every whim. Never quite satisfied, she is constantly improving herself by taking new classes and getting more certifications. I’ve had deep tissue, Swedish, cranial sacral (and probably more that I don’t know the names of), and she is the absolute best at each and every technique. No matter what your massage/​bodywork/​energy work needs are, I highly recommend Amy Doublet at Healing Bodywork. She’s simply the best!

Amy is more than a massage therapist — she is a born healer. Her gifts of perception are beyond incredible — she is truly gifted at massage therapy, polarity therapy, and uses those gifts to elevate the craft of healing to its highest art form. I have seen Amy regularly over the past five years as a result of her amazing work while my back and neck were recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident. Since, she taught me to how to stretch properly to relieve the tension that drives me to massage therapy in the first place — and we came up with a plan to get me healthy and healed [THAT WORKED!] together. I continued to see Amy for sports/​deep-​tissue, and then for polarity therapy. Her deep tissue work has kept me athletically fit and competitive, and her polarity work has opened avenues for my creativity that I might have otherwise missed. I cannot say enough good things about her talent and her integrity — Amy is the best!
