Pure Touch Therapy

I had an exceptional experience with Lydia-​Carlie Tilus. She asked interesting intake questions and had excellent intuition about what was going on for me physically. I appreciated her initial evaluation and anatomical expertise. She was attentive, *listened*, met me where I was at. She took her time and focused on my issue areas. I felt amazing when I left but even better the next day. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Another reviewer used the word healer and that is absolutely the truth.
Intuitive, conscientious and caring. See her, you’ll be so glad you did.

She is very well educated and trained in anatomy and physiology. She is a consummate professional and genuinely cares about whether or not you feel better and make progress during and after the massage. She actually went over the allotted time in our session by 15 minutes because she wasn’t satisfied that she had done a thorough job up to her standards. I recommend her with highest honors.

I worked with Lydia for 4 neuromuscular sessions. I am astonished at her work — excellent! She listens carefully and explains carefully, then sets about work. She really takes the time to know what the issue that is causing pain is, and where it originates in the body. I like to understand the modality I am receiving, and Lydia is generous with her explanations, which I appreciate. At the end of each session she also explained to me what to expect, and even gave me exercises and explanations for care at home. Once or twice I had questions after I left a session, and she always responded with what I needed. She helped me with lower back pain and foot pain, even showing me pictures of the muscles on which she was working. I am grateful to know that she is in my neighborhood! My 5-​star rating is truly meant!

Lydia is a healer in the truest sense. I came to her when confronted by deeply held anxieties and a sense of stress. Conventional thinking recommends talk therapy, but the human energy field is real and Reiki has powerful benefits that should not be ignored.
What Lydia is able to do is help move your focus out of your head and into your body, where healing occurs. She creates the space needed to see objectively, to feel compassionately and to hear instinctively what inner wisdom is telling you. I went two weeks in a row to keep the momentum moving and will return after a month. The immediate result is a feeling of centeredness. But for longer results take advantage of your session’s insights and recognize that this work takes time and commitment.
Highly recommend Pure Touch Therapy.

I’ve been seeing Lydia for a couple of months and I had to post a review and say how amazing she is. My back has been bugging me for over a year now. I fell on my back recently and the pain was really bad. My friend recommended Lydia and man that was the best recommendation anyone could have given me. Lydia isn’t just a massage therapist but really works with your body. She takes her time and never rushes things. amazing! My back feels great and my posture is even better. She gives you exercises to do at home and really help with discomfort. Definitely book an appointment with her. You will not regret it. Amazing lady! I can’t wait to see her soon.

I went in for my arm. I was having trouble grasping and couldn’t straighten my Arm fully, Lydia was professional and caring. I have had massages plenty in the past, an this experience was by far the best, my arm moves, I can grasp my rum and coke again. I would recommend Lydia to everyone, don’t walk to make an appointment run!

I immediately felt comfortable and open while receiving a Reiki session with Lydia. This was my first experience with Reiki and I felt completely blissful afterwards. I booked a package and am eager to complete the next two. I highly recommend Lydia for her healing touch.

I had a Reiki session with Lydia back in mid-​March and she was amazing! At the beginning of the session, I was having trouble feeling grounded and focused. A friend of mine had passed away less than a week before, my grandpa was in the ICU, and my career path was going through some major changes. She encouraged me to set intentions at the beginning so I could get the most out of the session, then she gave me the time and space to do this and came back when I was ready.
I left feeling so much better! I was definitely more grounded and centered, my mind was clear of distractions, the sorrow I’d been feeling was decreased and my energy levels were higher. While my results are my own, I have no doubt that Lydia would be able to help anyone else who needs help re-​centering and re-​grounding, or mourning a loss. She has the utmost respect for others and it shows in her work, as she allows you to feel what you’re feeling, be who you are, and work through whatever you need to work through without judgement. My career has since taken me out of state, but if/​when I find myself back in the East Bay, I would love another session with Lydia at Pure Touch Therapy!
