He really got into my scapula and lats which are what I needed most, and then made his way all around, from head to toes. He was open to feedback and would apply pressure accordingly, and he ended by applying neck and head pressure to stretch the neck and massage the base of my head. Sooo good! Highly recommend him and well worth it. Thank you, Vaughn!

I told her that my right leg had problems and she was very kind to massage my shoulders and left side but I didn't get the focus that I wanted on my problem areas. I would have asked for a longer massage had I planned to have my entire body massaged but her pricing unlike other massage places actually increases after 60 minutes which discourages longer massages. I think Katia is good for general pain and stress but not for specific problem areas ( Moon Waves in Concord included an evaluation before the myofiscial massage). Parking was easy but the steep narrow curved stairs was difficult to climb especially if you have a bad leg. The building doesn't seem to accommodate the disabled (I am not disabled but found it difficult). The actual massage room has a private bathroom so that was nice.

I booked with Jip for deep tissue massage and asked for focus on IT bands, hip flexors and low…read moreback. Usually when I do deep tissue it's quite painful but not only did Jip loosen everything up amazingly well, she actually made me doze off a few times. That doesn't typically happen because I consider deep tissue to be therapeutic not necessarily relaxing as it tends to hurt. I think I slept through most of the reflexology session which is a shame because that's my favorite part. Guess I'll have to come back... :) The space is small and the massage areas are separated by curtains not walls. That's the only downside.

This was my first massage in many years, and I was hoping for a relaxing experience. The masseuse…read morewas polite and did check in with me, but the pressure was much stronger than I asked for. I mentioned a few times that I preferred light pressure, yet it still felt painful rather than relaxing. At checkout, I did leave a tip, but it seemed like it wasn't considered enough. The staff looked at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable, and my mom ended up tipping more afterward. The situation felt awkward and embarrassing, and I didn't appreciate feeling pressured about tipping. I understand tipping is customary, but it should feel voluntary, especially when the service itself wasn't relaxing for me. Because of this experience, I won't be returning.

I would have loved to rate this higher, but there were some minor details that made the experience…read morenot as superior as it could have been. Starting with the positives because they deserve it: - My massage person was excellent. She communicated with me all the time to make sure the pressure was ok. Yet she didn't talk other times so i could enjoy the massage, which was great. - Location of the place is good and parking is allocated. - Checking in and out was fast and frienfly. The negatives that impacted the experience: - There's only a curtain separating each massage table so you can hear everything - everything as in the person beside you breathing in and out, and grunts of natural noises a person might make, what the massage person and client are saying to each other, which means it's vice versa. - The bathroom must be very close to the rooms as I must have heard the toilet flush at least 7 times during my visit and hear the door open, close, could hear toilet seat covers being teared off too. If it wasn't a massage where you senses are heightened due to having your head down and eyes closed, these sounds might not have bothered me, but they were interruptions that got in the way of me completely relaxing. I would have loved to go back because the massage itself was very good, but I don't want to deal with the negatives mentioned above again.

His work is truly magical. His sprit is inspiring. My body and my soul are transformed after a session on the table. The post-surgical issues I first started seeing him for have improved tremendously in a way that no other practitioners were helpful. Even my MD said I would need to "learn to live with it". I can't recommend him enough. In addition, he is compassionate, kind and professional. I have had many massage experiences in over six different cities during the last twenty five years...none of which comes close to the skill that embodies Tracy's work. I am grateful to have found him. I only wish my insurance covered his services. That fact is taken into consideration with Tracy's pricing, which is fair and as accommodating as he can be.
