The biggest gift we receive at Oceana Massage is knowing that we helped our clients move forward in their healing and feel re-energized to better manage the pace of their lives. 
One of the best massages I've had anywhere in the world! Susan at Oceana is a truly gifted massage therapist. She has a charming and effervescent personality, that becomes tranquil and meditative the moment she initiates the massage process... and it's an amazing process. She always knows precisely the right questions to ask when you walk in the door, how to set the tone for the session, and exactly the type of massage you need that day. She is also uniquely adept at assessing what areas need attention the most, and how best to to do that - and it may be slightly different than you think! I can't tell you how many times I've discovered various tension spots while lying on that table - tension spots that moments later had magically melted away. I tend to be a skeptic when it comes to massage therapists; everyone proclaims that theirs is the best, but Susan is the real deal! I've travelled to and lived in many cities around the world, and if I could pick just one to return to for a massage, it would be to Vancouver to see Susan. I'll say it again, she is truly, truly gifted, and anyone who is lucky enough to get an appointment would be doing themselves, and their body a favour by spending some time with her. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! - Hunter Phoenix, www.InspiredSolutionsCoaching.ca

"Sometimes we don't really understand how our body has been dealing with the stress of our lives, today this was one of those occasions. Today I had a very wonderful massage given to me by Susan Polano of Oceanic Massage. She was able to both relax my mind and my spirit as well as rejuvenate my body with her effective techniques. It was different from other massages in that it did not feel mechanic or physical although my muscles and joints definitely knew someone was manipulating them. It felt like Susan was taking her cues from reading my body and its energy. Afterwards, I felt like a million bucks! I am happy to refer her to anyone whom I meet. Sincerely" - Julianne Petersen, Registered Acupunturist

"I have used her services in the past but last week I was suffering from a migraine when I went to see her.  I was mobile, but not functional in any capacity. During the treatment my body felt more sensitive than usual but Susan intuitively adjusted the pressure of her strokes and used her knowledge of anatomy and healing to implement specific hot/cold strategies to alleviate my pain.  I could feel the tight band around my head lifting.  By the end the pain had subsided significantly and then disappeared completely.  I am confident that had I not received the treatment, I would have suffered countless hours in bed and not been able to function again until the next day." -  C.L Businessperson

 I've been going to various massage therapists for the last few years for my arms and back because of RSI from the work I do. For the last couple of months I've gone to Susan for treatment and she's an amazing therapist. My condition feels like it's now improving after nearly a decade and I can be without pain much of the time. Susan seems to be able to make much more progress during the treatment time than other massage therapists I've gone to in the past. Highly recommended!  W. R. Business Owner

"I've been to see Susan of Oceana Massage several times over the past few years. Every visit is a treat!!!  Susan is great with relaxation massages as well as deeper tissue sports massage; which can be pretty intense.  Every time I leave - I feel totally rejuvenated.  Whether you have a sore neck/back from leaning over your desk at work; or your muscles are screaming from the gym or whatever other crazy stuff you do - Susan will fix it.  If you haven't had a massage for a while - treat yourself!"  -  Dave W.


"A massage from Susan Polano is the best gift that any pregnant gal can ever give herself...scheduling one every two weeks during your whole pregnancy is even better, and that is exactly what I did! Being pregnant (and all that comes with it) can be hard not only on you physically but also on you mentally!  
Susan not only relieves all your body tension but also provides a peaceful oasis to calm your nerves and ease your mind. There is just something about Susan; she is knowledgeable, genuine, relaxing, reassuring and is always available to give lots of great advice!
I would highly recommend treating yourself to a regularly scheduled massage with Susan during your  pregnancy...believe me it will make a world of difference to your journey and will be something you REALLY look forward to every other week :)
Thank you for everything Susan...can't wait for our first post-natal massage!!" - Andrea C, General Manager

I am writing this testimonial in one of the most relaxed states I have been in since I can't remember.  I have had issues with muscle tension for a long time and tried numerous therapies to remedy the stress with little to no success.  After my Hot Stone Treatment with you, the muscle tension in my upper back is non-existent.  The cramps I would get in the middle of the night and during exercise have subsided since I started seeing you.   I can't believe we have had only 4 appointments and the results are fantastic.  - PA, Web Designer


You are a fantastic massage therapist to work with as your knowledge of the human body goes above and beyond expectations.  The amount you care about your clients speaks wonders to your character and charisma.  It is truly a highlight of my day when I get to see you! - PP Business Person
