OHM Sanctuary

I have never been so lucky as to find Ronelle as a teacher of body alignment; the awareness goes deep. Her knowledge in Myo-fascial Release is the perfect partner in understanding how alignment happens. I am much more attuned to my own body now, learning to listen. In a year
of study with her, big changes have happened in how my hips feel, how I walk, stand, sit. It is truly profound yet simple and clear when one puts mind, body spirit together! More...

I turned to Ronelle when all else had failed! To my surprise, my body took so instantly to MFR that my life is transforming itself. Her touch is infused with a loving presence that supports healing. Plus, her sharp intelligence supports all of my questions in being answered. She has clearly having put in her 10,000 hours and more! I am so grateful to have her on my team. More...

Unfair for me to review my own experience giving a session to my own daughter. I was born under a good sign to have had the exquisite experiences of depth and shared love that I do.

Joe is an awesome human being. He came in for me on his day off and performed a wonderful myofascial release massage. He clearly loves his work and has a great passion for helping his fellow humans. Do not hesitate to get in touch with him. More...

5 STARS FOR JOE - He is great!! Thank you Joe for rescuing me and transitioning my completely bizarre experience (intensive MFR w diff person) into a healing moment. Joe's touch and energy are more powerful than any I have ever experienced; magically skilled, strong and intuitive hands in a perfectly positive way (with no nonsense!!!) And... the best hugs too!

I have been going to OHM Sanctuary since 2012. They are the best! Every time I go up to Ojai for the weekend I make sure to book an appointment with them. Joe is awesome! Not only is he skilled at myofascial release but he is also a great listener and always knows how to talk me down from the existential crises I have from time to time. It's not always the most relaxing experience but you'll leave feeling rejuvenated and alive! Love this place! More...

I am a life-long migraine sufferer and always looking for non-drug ways to keep my headaches at bay. Several people on the Ojai Facebook page were talking about the great healing work being done at OHM Sanctuary so I decided to give it a try and called them up and made an appointment with Joe. It was a life-changing session. Joe creates a safe and non-judgmental space where his healing touch brings relief for both physical and emotional pain. He intuitively knows where your body needs his work the most, but he always starts the session by asking questions and is mindful to check in periodically while the session is happening. A few of my sessions were pretty emotional and Joe was caring and nurturing as the release was happening. I'm happy to say that my migraines have gone from weekly to just a few a year because of Joe and his myofascial release sessions. I highly recommend OHM Sanctuary. More...

I've been coming to Ohm Sanctuary and getting MFR for over two years. I've probably been worked on by 200+ bodyworkers in my life and Joe Cocke is one of the very, very best. I secretly call him the pain obliterator!! He's helped me heal twists and sprains and helps keep my psoriatic arthritis from setting in. I also have psoriasis and he is incredibly respectful and knowledgeable about my body issues!! They truly have the gift and clear the way to help the body heal itself.... it is just so, so much more than a massage!! More...

OHM has provided an environment that is healing, educational and welcoming. Hugs are welcome too! They are so knowledgeable in body movement but their specialty is MFR. I routinely get the package and allow myself the gift of health here. I have not been to Ronelle but I have received from Joe several times and its absolutely fantastic. He is mindful and listens to his clients. You begin knowing that he is aware of exactly what you need. Thank you for continuing to provide Ventura County a place to "let go" More...

I've been going to OHM Sanctuary on an as needed basis for over two years now. They do MFR Myofascial Release which is a gentle pressure into the connective tissue. I found it to be much better than traditional massage. Joe Cocke and Ronelle Wood are very skilled professionals and I am most grateful for the care they have provided me. One time I couldn't move my neck. After Joe finished working on me I could not believe I was pain free and my neck felt as if nothing had ever happened earlier that day! I've tried other businesses and I feel I'm throwing away good money. Check them out and see if you too don't become a convert! More...

My girlfriend and I were in Ojai for a healing retreat. We began calling  local healing centers for massage offerings to help with knee and hip problems, as well as cancer treatments. In talking with Joe, we intuitively felt this was where we would find special treatment -- and were we right! We were introduced to myofascial release and entered an amazing world of communication with our bodies.Both of us had life changing experiences, from visualizations to deep emotional pain release. I was so impressed with Joe that I made an appointment for my husband. We drove back to Ojai the next weekend all the way from Huntington Beach for his appointment. He was hit by a car as a pedestrian, thrown 160 feet and left for dead. He survived but is in constant pain of varying degrees. Joe suggested a road map for recovery and while it will take a while to correct years of strangulated fascia, he found immediate relief and a renewed sense of hope for total healing. Joe periodically follows up to see how my husband is doing, so caring.I bought Ronelle Wood's book, Touching Light. It is well researched and full of wonderful information about MFR (myofascial release) explained in layman's terms that I found very helpful to me. They have a fully integrated program that takes into account body mechanics as well and classes to teach proper alignment. Both my girlfriend, my husband and I have tried other therapists but no one has come close to the experience and results we got from Joe and the team at OHM Sanctuary. More...

I believe everyone should learn what OHM has to teach. The structural changes happen so fast and easily. Anyone can learn these simple exersizes and stretches, no matter what you physical condition. There is a class for everyone. Add in the myofascial release work to unstuck all the stiff places and your body will be doing fine in no time! Check it out. The first class is free. Learn it easily and take it home with you. It's the only kind of exersize I actually like! More...
