This is my first time coming to see Tsadae. Her business is in a plaza with parking and she shares the space with an acupuncturist. Tsadae is there every Thursday and Friday and alternating Sundays. She is very responsive via text and is very understanding if you need to reschedule as we know sometimes things come up in our pregnancies that we don't anticipate! During my massage she was very professional and was able to give my body pain relief in my lower back. I also felt relaxed afterwards and felt like my body could move more freely. She helped released tension in my neck and shoulders as well since that's where I hold all my stress. She has pillows to help you feel comfortable on your side while she massages you and a wedge pillow for when you sit up for her to massage your neck and upper back. I definitely recommend her!

You're not paying for luxury spa deep relaxation vibes here. Rooms aren't separated other than by…read morethe divider thingy, so you can definitely hear surrounding areas. That's alright though since the Thai massage itself was great. I made an appointment for a 90 minute Thai herbal massage. I've had other Thai massages in the past, so I decided to try the one with the herbal pouch to see how that would be. I filled on the intake paperwork and you can point out areas you want more focus on and areas you want them to avoid. Cayla was my assigned masseuse, and she was really attentive and made sure the pressure and such was alright. She checked to make sure I was okay being stepped on, and I was like oh yes please. I absolutely loved how much more stepping and stretching there was at this place compared to the other places I've tried. I didn't get "beat up" as bad in comparison, but it was still really nice. The herbal portion was a heated herbal pouch and she'd tap that at various areas during a portion of the massage. The heat felt pretty great. There were times where she had to step out to talk to someone or someone needed to talk to her, but the massage itself was excellent. If I had unlimited funds and was closer to Malai Thai Massage, I'd be getting these a lot more often!

This place is awesome! I love traditional Thai massages, I always think the stretching techniques…read morerecalibrate any kinks and stiff areas that won't budge. The massage "rooms" are more so one large room with private sections divided by curtains. You may or may not hear other patrons but it's never bothered me. I'm usually pretty immersed into the service I'm getting and they do play relaxing music. It's clean, quaint and cozy-- although not a "luxury" spa environment I believe the massages absolutely compensate for it. I've also found this place to be a bit more on the affordable side compared to other Thai massage spots in the Bay Area. There are even 30 min services that run on average below $60 which I love. I've came once to just get a 30 min upper body massage because of a stiff shoulder and I swear they helped me so much with it. I've already recommended other people to try this place out and they love it :) I know these ladies go through a bunch of people daily and this is hard work yet I always feel like they really take the effort to become accustomed to your body's needs.

I purchased Shen Clinic's tele‑appointment + two‑week email follow‑up option for $129. There were…read moreseveral things I genuinely appreciated, along with a few areas where clearer expectations would have helped. My recommendation: * If you're already familiar with Chinese herbs and just need guidance or fine‑tuning, the tele‑appointment + email format can be very helpful. * If you're brand‑new to herbs or dealing with more complex symptoms or situations, I'd recommend starting with an in‑person visit so the practitioner can take your pulse and get a fuller picture. On the positive side, I appreciated being started on herbs in tablet/caplet form. Though more potent, I can't stand the powders. I thought the email communication was very helpful. I'm on HRT/menopause medications and several supplements, and my Shen doctor took the time to explain how to time the herbs around everything I'm taking. That level of attention isn't something I would have gotten at my usual community acupuncture clinic ($30/session). That said, my symptoms (mainly post‑nasal drip and difficulty sleeping) didn't improve within the two‑week period, even after trying two different herbs: Allergy pills (for external issues like pollen) and then ECHSZYQP (for internal). I didn't realize that an in‑person pulse reading might have been important for a first visit. I also interpreted my doctor's encouragement to email back right away as a sign that the herbs might act quickly, so I felt some disappointment when that didn't happen. I've since been advised at my community acupuncture clinic to finish the bottle of ECHSZYQP (to treat dampness and spleen deficiency) that I got from Shen. I will continue herb support with my community clinic instead of Shen. For my financial situation, Shen Clinic's $129 for a consultation or $89 for the email option each time is a lot. Overall, Shen Clinic offers thoughtful, personalized care, especially for people who want detailed herbal guidance. With clearer expectations, the experience would be even stronger. I still appreciate the time and attention I received.
