I explained to her that I have scoliosis and she knew exactly what areas to concentrate on without me having to tell or show her - not only that but she is STRONG for sure - this is the type of treatment that works on my body and may not work for others. As a client, I always voice when something is too deep to the point of pain but therapists do not know our threshold - it's important to be communicative during treatment. Some areas I couldn't tolerate so Annie moved on but in the areas that deep pressure was required - she spent more time on. Also - don't let the exterior fool you! The massage parlor is in an area that felt a little sketchy to me but as soon as I opened the doors, I was comfortable and super excited for the thai massage experience. Slept like a baby after the treatment and will definitely be back

My massage therapist Karina was professional, attentive, and took the time exactly where I was feeling tension. The massage itself was incredible--the perfect balance of pressure and technique.

If you're looking for a skilled, caring massage therapist who truly knows what they're doing, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

However, the atmosphere in the room is typical with soft spa music, dim candle light, comfortable tables and a cozy room that may put you to sleep like me. Upon arrival, Sunny checked me in with smiles and was also my masseuse for my Swedish massage. She hit all the right points and made sure I was comfortable by asking if the pressure was too much or the bed temperature was good for me. I really enjoyed the minimal use of the light unscented massage oil she used. Before I flipped over, hot towels, more massaging and hot rocks were placed on my back. This was different for me, but I thought it was perfect. It warmed up all the areas she massaged and and removed most of the massage oil leaving my back soft and moisturized without an oily feeling. There was also some stretching done with my arms, legs and neck area. One finished, I felt relaxed, loose and ready for another gym session of lifting! The prices are extremely reasonable as the focus here is on the massage not all the fancy, aromatic things and decor. Booking online is very easy also. This is a great massage joint and definitely the best bang for your buck around here!

We had the 60-minute foot massage but they actually spend a good 15 minutes working on your head and shoulders while you are soaking your feet in warm water. My massage therapist was Kelly and my husband had Steve. We both had a very good experience. The place is tranquil and while beds are next to each other, it does not feel crowded and the set-up, while without recliners, is surprisingly comfortable. One can appreciate the clean surroundings, fresh towels and linen, and calming atmosphere not just from the dim lighting and soft ambient music playing , but also the warm and unobtrusive staff.

One thing I really appreciate is that they hand you a sheet at the beginning where you can circle the areas you want them to focus on or avoid, and you can specify your preferred pressure. It makes the experience feel much more customized compared to other places where they don't even ask The value is great, the staff is always kind and efficient, and it's super close to my house, which makes it an easy choice when I want to book something last minute. The only reason I'm taking off one star is the room setup. They have both private and semi-private rooms, and the semi-private ones are only separated by a curtain. You can hear people talking or moving around outside, which can take away from the relaxation a bit. If you're sensitive to noise, it's something to keep in mind. Overall though, it's still a really solid spot and a great use of ClassPass credits. I'll definitely keep coming back.

He is very intuitive and focuses on the areas that you need relief the most. Breath work is also involved in the work he does in order for you to relax and allow for a deeper level of massage. Pacha always makes me feel comfortable and checks in to make sure that I'm okay. I've gone days without pain after seeing Pacha. If you're looking for pain relief, more mobility and achieving a sense of peace and calm , I highly recommend Pacha. The spa is beautifully designed and the rooms are comfortable. The price is comparable and even less than most spas. There is no shower, sauna or jacuzzi at this facility. Only calm, relief and peace.

Shirley is very talented, has very strong hands and has a deep understanding of the body. She was able to get some of my deep knots to the surface by massaging other parts of the body. I booked a two hour deep tissue and she definitely delivered. The place is professional and clean, but note that it is not a spa. I don't think I'd come here for couple massages or a "luxurious typical relaxing" experience, I'd come here for a truly relaxing massage that'll help heal your body. Also, this is not a cheap foot massage spot if that's what you're looking for. I think this is actually the perfect spot if you're looking for a real massage. Would definitely come again!

I lost my last local masseuse when he moved from San Mateo to Portugal some years ago & never found a replacement. Let me start by saying Shirley's massage Studio is very peaceful with high ceilings, lovely decorative touches and is painted in soothing colors. The soft music she plays in the background is very relaxing. Shirley is petite, but very strong and her massage techniques really helped to work out some serious knots and kinks that I had been storing up in my body. I know she is trained in a variety of massage techniques, but I requested a 90 minute, very deep one & she delivered. Not only was the massage phenomenal, but the additional touches of hot stones, as well as hot towels used to soothe & then remove oils as she finished each area, we're unexpected and contributed to the lovely experience. I will most definitely be back in the near future. Thank you Shirley!
