Intro
​
My name is Robin Mordecai (the "Mort" comes from a nickname of my last name) and I have been a "go-to" guide for health advice for the last two decades. I'm an independent person with an extensive background of Herbalism, Massage Therapy, Esthetics, Nutrition, Yoga & Spiritual philosophies. Self-respect and self-responsibility are mandatory in my World. I am an advocate for doing no harm but taking no shit. I am light-hearted yet firm in the advice I give because I inherently want people to heal for themselves. When we are healed, we can stop the destructive cycles that pain can cause us and move on with our lives. It takes effort and honesty and someone to truly hold space for us. I can be your presence to help you be present. Whether it's some quick advice or you need a massive shift in your life, I am here to help clear out the confusion and empower you in the direction you want to go in.
​
I work as an intuitive healer. I listen thoroughly to your words, situations, and your physical, mental, emotional bodies. I have been a mentor in times of need and also when neither of us were expecting it- even in a few seconds to a few minutes of connecting. From intentionally working with a woman suffering from a brain tumor, inspiring strangers while lounging at a river, to helping grief-stricken customers that were overwhelmed by stress, death and divorce. I treat each person as their highest self so they are empowered and open to what will help them move forward.
​
Working as a Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher has given me the opportunity to help people on a physical and emotional plane. Working as an Herbalist and Esthetician has allowed me to educate others on eastern & western supplements and skincare. Wherever I have worked, I have always been a Holistic Advice Nurse, teaching others how to take better care of themselves through nutrition and providing a refuge to heal.
With twenty years of working in wellness clinics, spas, public pharmacies and yoga studios, I have a vast experience to help build, redeem, or manage your business in the self-care world.
​
Honest, sincere advice should be available to everyone. I am honored to be the guide, consultant, coach, mentor, advisor and friend you may need to find those roles in yourself. I am here to listen whole-heartedly.
​
To begin, send me an email below letting me know what your needs are. Please know I am extremely efficient with my offerings. 20 minutes might seem too short, or could be just enough time! Perhaps you want more time to soak in the information with me, that's ok too! Once we chat via email, we can decide how long you'd like and if you prefer to connect in person, over the phone or by Zoom.
​
I am also available for private yoga classes and mobile massage (just added Buccal Massage!). More information below.
​
Let us find your homeostasis! I look forward to being of service to you.

Consultation Testimonials
Robin is filled with knowledge and experience of how the body, mind, and spirit work. Through this knowledge base and thoughtful inquires, she has a gift for piecing together a comprehensive picture that allows her to make meaningful suggestions and recommendations. She uses an integrative and respectful approach and meets clients where they're at. She has brilliant insight into practical and pragmatic treatments as well as a deep intuition for esoteric and therapeutic approaches. She's a nonjudgmental practitioner who generously shares her wisdom to support and empower clients on their path to healing. Whatever issues you're working through, she can and will help.
Kailey
Robin single handedly bitch slapped me into a MUCH better life, in the best possible way. She helped me turn the direction of my life 180 degrees and I haven't looked back... ok, well maybe I peeked a few times, but she was always there to set me straight again, with compassion but still full on truth. Robin speaks truth fearlessly, calls out the elephant in the room, and because I trust her wisdom I was able to receive it. She had no real stake in the game really, except that she wants to empower people, especially women I would presume, to stop taking shit that is not theirs to take. What a needed medicine in these PC, people please-y times.
​
What a breath of fresh air! If you need a breakthrough, Robin is the one. That being said, she has a deep toolbox, so whatever it is that you feel you need an aunty, wise elder, friend, or just solid guidance her intuition, heart, and head are solid places to land.
Kamila
I appreciate Robin so much. She has made such a huge impact on my life and her support and kindness has helped me more than she realizes. She is such a great source of steadiness and warmth, and is the reason I don't worry as often about being my authentic self around others.
​
Anyone with the fortune to have her in their life is incredibly lucky, and I feel so, so fortunate! I'm not sure if many people have that kind of impact on others, where they can make a lasting impression that continues to give even years after you've seen them. She has a beautiful soul.
​
Robin helped me re-imagine a lot of traumatic memories, made my inner child feel a lot more safe, and it's definitely helped me slowly heal. She has made a lasting change in my life and I'm forever grateful for her.
Ali
Robin has been a consistent heart connection that has reassured me of the light a relationship can shed. She's helped me through my darkest times by just being that person who didn't judge- just listened and loved.
Noell
Robin is always quick to respond- it's almost mechanical. (She's) a person that recognizes the moment you need someone to step up for you, and (snap), she's there, fully present for you. Much like what you'd want in a soldier, a warrior- responsive, focused, ready to help.
​
She is ever so kind, open-hearted and a very good listener. She has advised me with complex muscular issues and skin related issues. She is simply a well of knowledge.
​
Call her and get the help you're seeking! She's wonderful!
Kenneth
Robin is masterful at what she does! She has a unique way of balancing her deep compassion with a no-nonsense approach to physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Could not imagine my life without her help!
Thank you for the information you share and the way you share it!
Lindsay
Robin captured my attention, adoration, and respect for the depth of healing power, knowledge, & other centeredness she possesses. On many occasions I found myself leaning into her knowledge of eastern/alternative medicine for direction and guidance for all sorts of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Without fail she releases her power with love and kindness to help me heal. It is a pleasure to talk with her. I offer my highest recommendation.
Jason
I have known Robin for almost 20 years, during that time she has continually helped me in every aspect of mental and physical health and wellness. She has helped me find appropriate herbs and supplements when I have had issues with anxiety, digestion, brain health, just to name a few- I'm sure I'm forgetting some, she just helps me so much! She has provided me with countless healing and amazing massages and provided guidance on how to best care for my sensitive skin.
Robin is also very insightful. She has a way of seeing things in other people that they can't, and has been able to provide personal advice and guidance to help center and direct energies inward instead of outward. Over the years I have been constantly baffled by her ability to see things that were not evident to me no matter how hard I looked and reflected upon them.
I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a healer who can help them balance every aspect of their physical and mental well-being.

Why hire a
Mentor?
Support
Having someone who advocates for your well-being can be hard to come by. It's also important to have a person that is out of your immediate social world that is 100% focused on helping you find your answers. A mentor, coach or advice nurse to hold you accountable and be present- whenever you need.
Convenience
Nowadays, we have the advantage of having information at our fingertips. The benefit of having a mentor is taking all that time, energy, experience and education and wrapping it up into a simplified answer that is directed towards your needs. Aka- a mentor saves you time and provides a level of comfort you can't always get from your own research.
Worth
As mentioned before, hiring a mentor saves you time and time is money! The exchange between a mentor and a client should be integral. I have my rate at a value that I find fair to my expertise AND wanting to be accessible to everyone. My hourly rate can be broken down to 20 or 40 minute increments if needed.
What is Buccal Massage?
Buccal massage, also known as intra-oral massage, is a facial treatment that involves massaging the inner cheeks, lips, and jawline from inside the mouth, targeting deeper facial muscles for sculpting, tension release, and improved circulation. It is excellent for inner & outer Health.
​
My Buccal Massage treatment includes Lympahtic Drainage, Facial Massage, Acupressure, Reflexology & Trigger Point Release, Scalp/Neck/Décolleté Massage, Buccal Massage, and Herbal Moisturizer.
​
​
Nitrile Gloves are used for this treatment. They are latex-free, provide a barrier against cross-contamination and potential irritants, resistant to punctures & tears while still offering a level of sensitivity and dexterity for the allowance of intricate massage techniques.

About Me
I have been interested in the Body, Soul and Mind connection for a long time. I started meditating when I was only 12 years old and started practicing yoga at age 15. At 21, I became Massage Therapist with over 11 Certificates, including Canine Massage and Nutrition. I continued my massage education with an additional 800 hour program learning more Eastern techniques, like Shiatsu and Thai. I am now a Licensed Massage Therapist with 22 years experience and over 1,000 hours in massage training, and I just added to my education with Certifications for Massage for Military & Veterans and Buccal Massage.
​
I am on my 28th year of practicing yoga. I also have completed two Yoga Teacher trainings, co-taught a third, and taught many yoga classes in many yoga studios- my speciality is teaching restorative and yin.
I have managed over-the-counter pharmacies, yoga studios, wellness clinics and worked at several Herbal Apothecaries. I always enjoy studying plants and flowers and completed Mary Gladstar's Herbal Certification Program over a decade ago.
​
I am a Licensed Esthetician in two states, and have a plethora of skincare products to prove it! Since nutrition has always been the connection to healing, I continue my own knowledge by staying curious on the how and what of each fruit, veggie, mineral or supplement can do for our mind, body and skin.
I study indigenous cultures and many different forms of philosophy and religion- specifically Buddhism, Stoicism and Taoism. I participate in lots of forms of healing including Acupuncture, Rolfing, Kambo Frog Medicine, Past Life Regression, Saunas, Salt Rooms & Sound Baths.
I love to learn new things and believe there is always something to gain from an experience, including a good sense of humor! There is a yin to every yang and yang to every yin. I appreciate the humbleness of staying open to new information and the beauty of it not lessening my power. By expanding our minds and hearts we can better support one another in this sometimes wild, sometimes weird and sometimes wonderful life experience.
​
In my free time, I do a lot of hot spring adventuring and other types of self care. Taking good care of myself fills my cup and provides me with the ability to keep giving. I do yoga daily, a face masque at least once a week, read too many books at the same time, listen to music and podcasts, sing and write and craft. I love to hike to clear my head and build my leg strength, and feel so fortunate to have the open spaces of the South Bay at my finger-tips to do so.
I am naturally curious and am constantly looking up information. I try to look at new projects with a pure mental place so I can just experience learning instead of mastering. I love being by the Ocean, but the River is my personal water element. I crave good conversations and can't function well without them, and I love LOVE old cars- talking about them, driving them, seeing them at vintage car shows. I like a good monster truck rally, too!
​
My favorite way to start the day is with coffee, my dog, some stretching, and Father Sun shining on our faces. I look to Mother Nature for Energy & Peace and the Stars to help tune into the current rhythm of the Universe.
​
The Bay Area is my home, but I often travel to the Trinity/Shasta Mountains, Sacramento & Nevada City, and Oregon for any in-person consulting, private yoga classes, or massage appointments. Respectfully, I alter my prices for areas with a lower-cost of living.
​
I am available for retreats or conferences where accommodations are included for my dog and I.
​
Much obliged!
