This is the massage you've been dreaming about. Seriously, I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. The location is adorable. It is located within a small house. As you walk in, you are transported. It's like taking a mini vacation. Santell is absolutely AMAZING. I did the 90 minute Breathe Deep massage and I can't say enough positive things about him and the entire experience. From the moment you walk in, his positive, calming energy prepares you for the amazing experience you are about to have. He is so welcoming and just an all-around genuinely good person. He makes sure you are comfortable beforehand: he lets you select an essential oil and even adjusts the temperature of the room if need be. During the massage, he is SO in tune with your body. This is no cookie-cutter massage. He pays close attention to the areas you indicate and he works to find the EXACT location of the pain. He does a deep stretch while he massages and he makes sure you are comfortable the entire time. I've never had a massage like it. I highly recommend him and Breathe in general! read more

I have lived all over the US and never had a massage/ healing like Wendy gave me today. I feel the best I have felt in years. Thank you Wendy for sharing your talents and skills. I will be back. You are truly the best. I'm grateful. read more

I decided to go check this place out after hearing my buddy Darren R. rave about how amazing the massages are, and boy was he right! They had a special for Thanksgiving where I got a 90 minute full body massage for the price for a 60 minute massage. The owner, Wendy, was able to quickly schedule me in for a Saturday afternoon appointment. You can call, email, or schedule on their great website. Darren recommended that I opt for the hot stones and hot bamboo massage option, so I made sure that Wendy knew ahead of time, so she could have it ready for me. The place was very tranquil and relaxing. You remove your shoes in the little hallway prior to entering the office to fill out the paperwork. The massage rooms are very inviting...dimly lit with relaxing music playing. (you have your preference of music types that you note on the paperwork) Wendy makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. If you have certain parts of your body that are causing you pain or soreness, then you can let her know and she or any of her massage therapists will be sure to focus more on that area. I had a lot of knots in my back, more so in my left lat than that my right, which was odd to me. My calves were very tight as well because of my plantar fasciitis and the same with the right side of my jaw from my TMJ. (yeah, my body is a mess!) She put extra effort into those areas and I felt so good coming out of the massage session! I highly recommend the hot bamboo treatment. It really helps to roll out the knots. I think I liked the bamboo more than the rocks, but both felt great! Wendy gave me some good advice about stretching before and after my workouts, and using a foam roller (which I already had) to push out the knots in my muscle fascia. She also provided suggestions about treating my plantar fasciitis. She's very knowledgeable! Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is great inside! I'll definitely be back! Support local businesses and get an amazing massage! Give Wendy a call today! read more

Breathe is an excellent establishment to receive a myriad of massages. When I arrived I was greeted by Bryan who gave me a Thai massage. The massage was extremely relaxing and therapeutic. Bryan was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend trying a Thai massage or one of the other massages that Breathe offers. 5 out of 5 stars! Will be scheduling another massage soon. read more

808 Aloha Massage - Massage Near Me - Kirtland, Ohio

I never knew this little gem existed! And imagine my surprise upon finding a familiar face when I walked in :) I have been in yoga classes and events with Bryan in other locations, but did not know he was also a massage therapist, and at Breathe! I came in for a Thai Massage & Sound Therapy after 2 consecutive long bicycle tours, so it was a definite need. What I really loved about the experience was not only Bryan's massage (which was ON POINT for what I needed attention to), but that the entire experience was so personalized. I was given a tour of the space, with a history of the studio and I was also given a chance to select my preferences for the ambiance of the massages I would receive. I say massages because, I assure you, I WILL be back. Highly recommended! read more

Based on the great massage reviews here on Yelp, I purchased two Groupons on a recent offer - one for "acupressure" and one for "reflexology." I ran into a little snag when I tried to book because - apparently - individuals should only be able to purchase one package or the other. There was no notice on Groupon to this effect and it allowed me to purchase each in my own name. I ended up speaking with Stephanie at Breathe and she was very accommodating and agreed that others had similar issues. Hopefully this will get sorted with Groupon. So I booked both at that time. I discovered at my first appointment that both sessions were "energy work" sessions and not a form of massage. I cancelled both and requested refunds from Groupon as this was not clearly identified in the marketing language. If you are looking for "energy work", their Groupon offers may be perfect for you. read more

My appointment was for 11 am when I arrived early as requested there was a sign that said massage in session and had the door closed. I took a seat and filled out the paperwork that was sitting out. By 11:20, 2 emails and a phone call (where no one answered and voicemail was not an option) I left. read more

A tiny slice of California or Hawaii where you don't expect to find it. Skillful, professional and caring massage by santos.

After a long hiatus, I finally decided to spoil myself with the lomi lomi massage... Phenomenal!! Santell was excellent, and I continue to feel so incredible hours afterwards I would be doing everyone in the Cleveland area a disservice by not recommending it to everyone! Very relaxing atmosphere, kind people and incredible massages. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I have issues with feeling twisted, I visit a Chiropractor regularly but still feel stiff and constrained ----- UNTIL TODAY --- I had the pleasure of meeting the very talented Brian, or "the Magic Man," as I referred to him to my Husband. I am here for pain relief, would love to come for a more relaxing massage soon which after a few visits I'm sure will happen. I would definately recommond Brian, he also shared some quick helpful stretches and positions to make me more comfortable during regular activities. Thanks Brian, YOU ROCKED IT! read more

I have never left a yelp review in my life. This was the most wonderful, healing, powerful massage ever. It's not in some fancy spa, it's inside an old office building. What set this apart was my masseuse- Wendy was a freaking healer. It was the first time I felt like my masseuse was personally interested in healing me, body and spirit. I did the "do whatcha gotta do" massage and she incorporated massage with energy work and I walked away feeling like I just left my therapists office. My only regret is not finding this place sooner. My only ONLY con here is that because you're in an office building and not deep inside some spa, you are going to hear some outside noise for sure. But I'll take it if this is the level of healing I get out of it. read more

what's not to like about a place that customizes the ambience to help you get in a relaxed state so to max the effects of the massage? After a lot of skiing this past winter my body was tight. Wendy used heated bamboo to get into my muscle tissues and break it up. But she demonstrated her professionalism in first focusing on working out the fascia so that the muscles were free to move and benefit most from the work. Never considered how relevant that this was but it did make a big difference. I value her demonstrated expertise and you will too. my research after the visit ...just makes too much sense: http://breakingmuscle.com/mobility-recovery/the-top-5-ways-fascia-matters-to-athletes read more

Found Breathe through Groupon but will return not just for the atmosphere but the professional, caring and thorough massage from Bryan. He listened to my physical symptoms and approached his therapy appropriately while taking my cues toward any discomfort. Excellent massage, the tuning forks were a bonus. I was also happy to see Jeff going through a practical interview, I hope Breathe hires him. He is masterful at Reiki as well very intuitive, a true healer. read more

I have done a 75 minute massage and a 30 minute massage here and love the atmosphere and staff. I'm always in search of knowledgeable, calming massage therapists that really tune into your body and needs. I say try them out for yourself soon and you won't regret it. read more

I am so glad I found BREATHE! Being a performer can be a very stressful life. Traveling, audiences, media, it all adds up! Not to mention the other things I deal with on a daily basis. BREATHE is a Godsend for me! It's MY time! LOVE IT! The release I get from attending classes cannot be measured. Thank you!! read more

I have never had a professional massage until today. I was a little nervous because it was my first time but after my visit I can easily tell others to relax, let go and just Breathe! After my 90 minute session my back felt like it just got a breath of fresh air. I had a work related back injury a few years ago and went through physical therapy. Physical therapy helped a little but not much. After therapy I had a few chiropractic sessions which helped way more than therapy. A couple weeks ago my buddy's fiance, who is an amazing chiropractor, adjusted me and felt a hard knot in my lower back. She recommended I schedule a massage. I found a few good deals on groupon but wasn't happy with the reviews I read and with a bad back I wanted to put my back in good hands. After some research I found "Breathe" on yelp and the reviews were outstanding with 5 stars across the board. Sure it was a little more than other places but you get what you pay for sometimes. The facility was very clean and welcoming. The memory foam massage table was ridiculously comfortable. From the atmosphere, decor and massage table I got the sense that "Breathe" is a business that puts money back into their work and they aren't just scraping by with just enough to get the job done as I imagine some places might do. Wendy, the founder and business owner herself, was my massage therapist. She was very friendly but most importantly she was comforting. I never felt out of place or uncomfortable at any point during my visit and I had no idea how tense and tight my muscles were until after my session. I walked out of there feeling refreshed and noticed my back feels so nice and loose now. Wendy is very knowledgeable in her field as she explains her practice with an explanation as to what she is doing and why she is doing it. I have no other massage therapist to compare my experience to but I honestly don't see how it could be any better. Thanks so much Wendy, I will be back! read more

After seeing a chiropractor regularly for the past decade, a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Bryan gave me more shoulder and back pain relief than years of spine manipulations. I walked out of Breathe feeling like a different person, and my amazing massage was all I talked about for two days straight! I plan on visiting again soon for another deep tissue massage in the hopes I can keep my back pain away for good! Seriously amazing. I've never had a massage like it before and I'm so glad I went! read more

Had them most amazing 4 handed massage from Wendy and Santo. I've had hundreds of massages I've seen the good, bad and ugly lol. This is my second 4 handed massage, first one I had was at a very nice spa and I thought that was the best massage ever until I came here! I felt so relaxed during and all day long! Truly incredible! read more

Online I reviewed the types of massages and clearing that I knew I needed but wasn't sure which combo to choose. Wendy recommended Lomi Lomi with Singing Bowl Therapy. Very nice! Lomi uses very fluid movements and Santell applied heavier pressure to release tight muscles where needed. This was my first experience with singing bowls. Santell used the bowls throughout the session. At one point placed couple of different bowls on my solar plexus, I found it very relaxing energy work. He coached me re stretching every day which I am in need of and discussed finding a good yoga studio as I live in California. If I were a local, Santell would be seeing me on a regular basis. He is kind, informative, passionate about about his work and very skilled. I highly recommend Santell and Breathe. read more

One of the best Thai massages I've ever had ( I've had a lot, even in Thailand). Highly recommend Jeff Caldwell. I felt that he really paid attention to what was bothering me ( my hip) and tailored the massage to give me the best results. read more

I initially chose Breathe because of a Groupon with a great rate. I had the Lomi Lomi massage and tuning forks therapy with Santell. He used fluid movements and just the right pressure. My tight neck muscles must have released, as I have more range of motion than I've had for awhile. Very relaxing massage, beautiful, peaceful, uplifted facility. My last massage studio did not even have an initial questionnaire which I did not like. But Breathe has you fill out a detailed form to know exactly what your health and condition are. Santell took time to talk beforehand, asking if I had questions, and my preference for massage scent, etc. I could tell he knew his stuff, was experienced and expert in his knowledge and skill. The tuning fork therapy was good and relaxing, though the massage was the best part. I booked a return visit. I highly recommend Breathe! read more

Location was a bit hard to find but the staff was very helpful helping us find their location. Lots of options as far as what type of massage your preferred. My husband & I had the thai massage with forking & it was very relaxing. Can't wait to try other types of massage the have to offer. They have a really friendly & great staff. read more

I was visiting from out of town and found this place - I'm so glad because Wendy was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the way the human body works and explained it to me while she worked, which I enjoyed. I had 3 problem areas she focused on, and right away I can feel a difference in one spot in particular. The pain I had before is gone. She also gave me tips and exercises to do at home to keep it going. Definitely recommend this place and I will be back next time I'm in Cleveland! read more

A massage by Bryan was one, if not the best, massage of my life. Having had many different types of massages over the years, this was the first time I felt so involved physically. The movements of the joints and muscles required awareness and cooperation on my part. At the end of the massage it felt like every cell in my body was alive and well! I will certainly be returning to have this massage again. Thank you, Bryan! read more

This place was amazing! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. My husband and I went for a couples massage and they offered us many options for what we would like. I am pregnant and Wendy did my prenatal massage which was great and made me feel super relaxed. My husband also really enjoyed his massage; we both did a foot soak before the massage and then had the sweet and salty snack option afterward. The robes they give you to wear were very soft and the blankets were also very comfortable. This is by far the best massage place I have ever been to and plan to return. I would recommend trying the bamboo massage, Wendy described it to us and my husbands plans to get it next time. read more

Moved to Ohio last year and have had a lot of professional massages in the past (Philadelphia, Dallas). I was looking for a place with knowledgeable staff, professional ambience and affordable pricing. I'm also 7 months pregnant and in need of a good prenatal massage since my back and hips have been killing me. I've had about 5-6 massages during this pregnancy. I had my first visit to Breathe a few days ago. This is the first time I actually feel relief from the effects of pregnancy. Wendy was amazing and pinpointed my trouble areas right away. I've usually gotten relief from deep tissue massages in the past only to have my aches and pains return the next day. I'm still feeling relief a few days later. I've been to several massage spas in west Cleveland. Breathe, by far, is the best. read more

I felt terrific after I left, relaxed and positive. Stacy was wonderful not only during the service but after too. She freely answered questions, gave advice and suggestions. The location is a distance from me, but worth the trip. Decorated very nice and earthy. read more

I have to say that the massage I received from Wendy was hands down the best massage I've ever gotten. I may not be able to afford a massage as often as I'd like, but I'll certainly return here whenever I can. She talked with me about my issues with my body and worked on the areas that I had the most issues on. I definitely recommend going to this studio! read more

Serenity now! That is how I feel every time I walk out of Wendy's studio. Her presence is so calming, and her massage techniques are amazing! At Breathe they offer a wide variety of massage techniques that suit your individual needs, whether it be a relaxing massage, or a deep tissue after a strenuous work out. There is also a yoga studio there, but I haven't tried it out yet. I love this place, and would go there every week if I wasn't a broke college student. read more

Love this place! Had a Thai massage done by Bryan, and it was the most therapeutic massage I have ever received. He got out knots in my back I thought would never leave. Highly recommend. Will be back! read more

Just had a lomi lomi massage with Santel. Amazing! I have had massages all over the world After hiking in Nepal On a beach in Costa Rica Mountains of Morocco.., This was definitely one of it not the best. I will be back. It is very gentle relaxing but effective read more

Brian did everything I asked him to target and more. Its the first time I've felt massage results stick around more than a day or two. Definitely recommended! read more

I had my first-ever Lomi Lomi massage here with Santell a couple weeks ago and it was wonderful from start to finish! You feel serene the moment you enter the building (if you can locate it!) and Santell was absolutely wonderful with his technique and "bedside manner." I left truly relaxed and peaceful and I look forward to returning again when finances and time allow! P.S: Santell is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. He shared with me a quote by Gandhi and I exchanged my favorite quote with him. It's not often that you meet some warm, professional people who truly care about what they're doing and aim to make a difference in your life. THANK YOU, Santell! read more

I went in for a 60 minute massage. Very clean, extremely friendly staff and ohhhhh Santos' hands. Santos was very in tune with the needs of my body. I'd never had a male masseur before, boy was I missing out. I left there feeling amazing. I had been battling a sinus infection and headache for days. I left there breathing better and headache, what headache?? I highly recommend this business. I will return. read more

Scheduled a "do what you gotta do" massage with Kelsey and it was great. I was dealing with a sore back for quite some time and the massage really helped. read more

My back and shoulders and neck are always pretty stiff, due to sitting at a desk all day at work. I have had a lot of massages, by a lot of different people over the years. I am so glad I decided to give Breathe a try. Bryan did a massage technique which I think was like myofascial release. It was unlike any other massage I have ever had, and Bryan really worked to target my pain areas. I have never felt immediate relief after a massage before, but I did after this one. read more

I had a 90 minute massage with Bryan. It was the BEST massage I have ever had. I have a lot of tightness in my back and shoulders and he hit pressure points I didn't know existed. I get massages about every 2-3 months and have tried several places and have had very good massages. But, Bryan was very professional, yet personable and was spot on. I would totally recommend him. read more

Best massage ever from Santell! This place is a diamond in the rough. Santell does many types of massages depending on your needs. Can't wait for my next one! Worth every penny & then some!! read more

I've had a number of professional massages and this was by far the best. They were very specific and asked what I was hoping to get out of the experience. I stated that I wanted a deep tissue/athletic massage and they delivered. Great pressure was applied and i feel so much looser as a result. It's great that they have backgrounds in many different therapies so they can interweave when necessary. I recommend Breath very highly. read more

I sit at a computer or am running around most of my day at work (I'm a resident doctor) and have a very stressful job in general - tend to carry my stress in my neck and shoulders. Wendy was amazing at identifying my problem ares and focusing on everything to make my massage as relaxing as well as healing as possible. I loved the aromatherapy that she gave me at no extra charge and the heated massage table! All in all an amazing and wonderful massage, can't wait to go again!!! read more
