Welcome to Touching In!

My name is Tomi Knutson and I am an LMT specializing in Adult & Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy as, as well as Manual Lymph Drainage. In 2005, I started my private practice in Oakland, CA and have been honored to guide people from all walks of life as they learn to listen to their own innate wisdom, heal themselves and transform their lives.
Over the past few years, and partly due to COVID, my Bodywork practice expanded to include both Online Groups and Healing Sessions. For more information, please visit Online Offerings. As difficult as the last few years have been for all of us, it's been a gift to connect with people around the world in new ways.
I've always been intrigued by the transitions of life and believe that even when challenging they are also invaluable sources of insight and healing that open the door for deep transformational change. Each of us has a journey to take, and major life transitions inevitably happen along the way. Over the last 25 years, I've supported many people in navigating life's transitions. I've done this in a number of ways; within the Public Health field supporting women surviving domestic violence, teen moms, the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as in my own practice serving as a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Craniosacral Therapist and now as Death Doula. I'm deeply grateful for all of these experiences and the way they have shaped and informed my own healing journey.
By consciously Touching In to our body, heart, mind and spirit during life's transitions, we can lessen our suffering by learning to release the holding patterns which keep us from evolving and becoming our best selves. With mindfulness and intention, we can learn to connect with our bodies wisdom and innate health, and access the creativity to live our lives more joyfully now.
In 2021, I made a long-held dream of mine come true and began my own "major life transition" by moving to the Big Island of Hawaii, after living in the Bay Area for 20+ years. With so much gratitude to my family, community and Spirit, I now live in Kailua-Kona, HI and travel a few times a year to my Oakland office to offer In-Person Sessions. Thank you for your interest in working with me. I trust that however we meet, it will be just right and I look forward to it!
