I recently returned from a trip to Bhutan and the quality of care and patience the instructors at Body Reflects provided in their yoga and massage practice leading up to my trip made all the difference. I made it to the top of Tiger's Nest! 5 hours hiking time for 6.76 miles 2,567 ft elevation gain 10,000+ feet elevation at top bone-on-bone + multiple other conditions in knee and ankle Their quiet instruction, use of props, breath work and hands-on to build strength and flexibility in my knee and ankle gave me the confidence to experience one of the most physically challenging events of my life. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been with them since before Covid and continue a weekly daily practice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have gone to body reflects for massage for many years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have seen Lauren, who is exceptional and recently got to see Alissa, as well. Both are among the best massage therapists that I know. I highly recommend body reflects and Lauren and Alissa, in particular. read more

Did you help someone move, or were you in a plane/car for 6+ hours? Amy will have you stretch out whatever is achy so it doesn't bother you for the rest of the week. Janet's work on proprioception will give your brain a workout as much as your body. I swear Heather watches us walk in and can see what we need to stretch out or strengthen. After Carlie's cIasses I feel energized for the rest of the day, to the point that I schedule my biggest challenges the afternoon after her class. read more

Body reflects is a very thoughtfully curated space. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love to practice yoga there (Sarah Lakey is a gifted teacher)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and look forward to trying my first massage soon. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The reintro to Yoga has been a great class and Carlie and Emily are excellent teachers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The detailed explanation of the poses and options for modifications are provided with no judgment and with kindness and care. read more

I have been coming to get massage at Body Reflects for a couple of months. Carlie is a great person to spend time with, and I value her expert advice regarding recovery from injuries and aging well. I have learned that yes, there are things I can do to feel stronger and better! read more

Jasper was helpful, understanding, and a kind human. Very professional. I care about being a professional and so I care about writing helpful information for clients to seek proper care. read more

I love every massage I receive at Body Reflects and each yoga class. The therapists are all intentional, kind, and skilled. The energy of everyone there is relaxed, confident and caring. I love just walking in there. Feel very grateful for the community! read more

Carie is truly gifted! Her abilities go well beyond the physical, not only has my neck and shoulders felt better than they have in years, my mind and body are More at ease, since my first massage with her! I definitely look forward to my next visit! read more

Body Reflects - Can't wait to take a yoga class! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've only been practicing for a couple years off and on, but I wanted to find a new yoga studio that wasn't overcrowded and pretentious. I love BR! The community is welcoming, patient, and helpful. Every class I've attended never has more than a dozen people; its wonderful, I'm 6'3" and need room to stretch out and enjoy my practice without banging arms with the yogis next to me. Carlie and her team of instructors are a great crew! read more

The massage staff is amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've seen all the therapists there and I've been a devout client of Carlie's since before she had her own studio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I didn't move across the water, I would still be going there for yoga as well. Each massage therapist has their own unique style and specialty, if you will, so I can't recommend one over the other. You will have to try everyone out and see who you like. Massage is built into my health care routine, so I wish I could say that I pick a therapist based on my current needs, but they also get booked out at the times I can go, and I know that no matter who I see, I'll get a fabulous massage. read more

Owner Carlie Bae is an exceptional body worker with impressive depth of knowledge about mechanics of movement and well being. She answers all my questions about why certain modalities are effective and helps educate me about what I can do to strengthen or stretch problem areas. Whether massage or yoga, I always feel better after sessions with her. Thank you Carlie! read more

I've had both Lauren and Emily rose and they're both fantastic. I love their membership program and the meticulous thought they put in to each massage. They're both super easy to talk to, and very good at what they do. 10/10 stars. read more

Lauren is great. Excellent experience, great value if you are a member. Offers are comfortable and relaxing setting.

Lauren was very accommodating, even though I got my appointment time wrong. Lovely Lady! Thank You kk read more

Lauren is fantastic. Her massages are deep and targeted. The environment is pleasant and parking is easy. Also love supporting a small women-owned business. read more

All of the massage therapists are amazing! Great yoga classes!

This is a delightful studio with an inclusive, community feel. All instructors and staff have been wonderful, props are high quality, space is small and sweet. It feels no frills in the best way. Class fees are extremely reasonable (especially for Seattle!) which keeps it feeling accessible. Highly recommend this studio if you are looking for a place to belong and something outside the "corporate yoga" experience. read more

I had a really amazing yoga class with Raechel! I had a c-section 6 months ago, and her class was the first time I actually felt strong in over a year! She is clearly so knowledgeable about the body and her flow was really intentional to build you up into some inversion play against the wall. A great class for beginners and experts! read more

Body Reflects (BR) is where I find my fellow Yogi's - my community. Yoga is a practice - an ethos which is deeply promoted at BR. The instructors are brilliant - each bringing their own style, sense of humor and cadence to the classes they teach. We are all students when class begins. Uniqueness, questions and suggestions are honored. The Massage Therapists each bring their compassionate yet competent style to their art. I have a monthly membership and look forward to it with reckless abandon! This really is a wonderful studio. If you want to come as you are, feel confident that superb Covid-19 protocols are followed, feel good about yourself, and meet some incredible humans, then Body Reflects is the studio for you. Leave your ego at the door and join me! P.S. Virtual classes are available as well - you can get your yoga on in the privacy of your own space! read more

After months of untended to knots and tension, I allowed myself to succumb to the supple and steady hands of Carlie. Already internally purring at the comfort of the heated blanket and welcoming ambiance of her massage room, I let myself go as I listened to some mellow music and breathed deeply at her instruction. A warm damp towel was placed on my back to start with, and then, ever so gently, she roused my weary shoulders and with utmost deliberation, prodded those pesky knots down, down, and out. I prefer not to talk while getting a massage, and Carlie was perfectly ok not chatting. The session was both detoxifying and meditative for me. The hour went by with me feeling increasingly more relaxed. And I slept SO well that night. I had two revelations - I simply cannot substitute inexperienced friends to massage my back (the "push harder to get that knot out" methodology is an instant relief method that actually does more harm than good, Carlie said). 2nd revelation - I need to treat myself to more massages!! At Carlie Bockelman's studio. It's so worth it. Why wait until you're so stressed, or so tight? I think I need to rethink this idea of getting a massage as a reward and integrate it into my regular health routine. I highly recommend getting a massage with Carlie. She's very approachable and strong, yet gentle. She works on everyone from stressed out grad students and job searchers to football athletes and parents. It's just an experience worth having. read more

Carlie is magical! Her messages are the best I have ever had and are greatly helping my back problem. She does premium services like hot stones and cups for no extra charge. She is the most reasonable priced message therapist I have met and by far the best! A+++++++ read more

I've seen Carlie and Johanna for massage and had a great experience working with both of them. As a physical therapist, I really appreciate working with massage therapists that get to the root cause of what's going on. I would highly recommend Body Reflects! read more

I've been getting massages on and off for the last 7 years or so. I started seeing Carlie about a year ago at her former location. I'd seen all but one of the 5 therapists they'd had over the 18months I was there and Carlie was the best. After the first sessio with her, I pretty much booked with her every time unless I needed to have cupping done. She's very friendly, laidback and sweet. She'll go as deep or light as you want or need and you never need to feel awkward telling her to dig in or lighten up (though, I've never had to ask for the latter, ha). She's also one of those therapists that's happy to chat the session away or let you fall asleep/doze/trance/etc. Or chat the first half and fall asleep the 2nd half. Whatever. I finally had my husband see her, since he can be really picky about his massage therapists and he fell in love with her too. At one point, shortly before she started her own practice, both my hubby and I told her that if she ever left, we'd follow (intuition?). Anyway, I was so glad when she opened her new place and will continue seeing her as often as insurance and bank accounts allow. read more

I wanted to write an update for the yoga classes I have taken with Carlie since my last review. As further proof of her whole body approach, she now also offers a variety of classes in her new space. If you get a chance to sign up for one of these classes, you will receive amazing hands-on instruction due to the small class sizes. If Carlie is also your massage therapist, then she will pair these practices together to do even more good work for your body. read more

I just love Body Reflects! Carlie is a wonderful instructor and brings such a positive energy to her classes. I know her both in and out of the studio and she is always kind and down to earth. I go to Vinyasa with Carlie and the class is great every time! It's the perfect blend of challenging yourself but not pushing to the point of stress - the mark of a great class and instructor! I always feel energized and refreshed after a class and am ready for the day. Class sizes are on the smaller side (I believe she has a 12 person limit), but I love that because it allows the instructor to help each person and provide adjustments. The new studio in Interbay is great as well. The studio is open and spacious, but not huge. There's a nice entry area with a massage room and bathroom, that then leads into the yoga practice space. When you're practicing, you can't see people in the entryway, which is nice and prevents distractions. If you're looking for a new studio, head right over to Body Reflects! I've tried several studios in Seattle and BR is one of the best! read more

Carlie is a great massage therapist, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable in her studio. Her training as a yoga instructor adds to her ability to address muscle issues and help work through them. Also really enjoyed the music she plays! Not like some of those hokey all-the-same 'relaxing compilation' CDs. All in all, a massage with Carlie is a wonderful experience. read more

The studio is bright and welcoming. Mary asked questions before my massage and gave me some different options and an idea of what to expect so that I was feeling comfortable and like the massage would be geared toward my specific needs. The massage room is cozy and relaxing and Mary was a delight to work with. Definitely left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated! read more

I love how intimate this studio is, my classes are always amazing. I have also gotten 3 massages there and I have nothing but good things say. Carley the owner is wonderful, and so are the other instructions I have worked with. It's a cool location too, nice view in the studio and tons of parking. I highly recommend! read more

Best. Massage. Ever. Carlie is fantastic. I was unfortunately sideswiped by an 18 wheeler in college. Since then I've dealt with neck and upper back issues that I can usually keep at bay with exercise and Yoga. My neck and upper back spasmed a few weeks ago and I couldn't turn my head to the left. I went to a run of the mill massage studio close by - no help. I turned to Carlie. She was able to focus on my problem areas and incorporate ligamentous and fascial techniques in a way no one else ever has. She truly has a keen understanding of the human body that I have not experienced with other massage therapists. My neck feels better than it has in years. read more

Body Reflects is GREAT! Have had massage (Carlie awesome!) and joined in for yoga frequently and loved every second of it. Fun mix of yoga teachers/classes and great people - just wonderful! read more

Carlie is AMAZING! So personable and very relaxed which balances my personality :) She is extremely knowledgeable about the mechanics of the body. She listens to what is ailing me and I walk away feeling so much better every time. Thank you! read more

Wendy is awesome. I just recently found this place and I love it. Tucked away behind busy 15th Ave, Body Reflects offers a relaxing oasis. The space itself is soothing - a calm greets you as soon as you walk in the door. Wendy, my massage therapist, is wonderful. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, she immediately put me at ease and I have to say, gave me one of the best massages I can remember. Definitely going back for another soon! I highly recommend this place and Wendy! read more

I struggled to find a studio that hit all the marks after I moved to Seattle. I was like goldilocks, this one was too hot, that one was too hippy dippy, and the one over there felt like a gym. Finally after nearly giving up I saw an ad in the coupons that come in the mail. First class free so I figured what the heck. Sooo glad I took the first step that day! The classes here are just right! The room is warm, not hot and the classes are mostly vinyasa style with enough mindfulness that you feel like you're nurturing more than just your body. The teachers are great and so welcoming I instantly felt comfortable here. After two years of searching I am so happy to have found the perfect fit!! read more

Just received my first massage in five years with Carlie, and it was a fantastic experience. She really listens to what's going on with your body, and has the tools and knowledge to address those issues. I had an ongoing muscle spasm that was keeping me from sleeping and since my massage, it has disappeared! Will definitely be returning. read more

Great studio that leaves the yoga "mystique" at the door all are welcome in a warm not hot environment. Offer classes from power vinyasa, yoga x ( yoga with weights), meditation and massage ! Awesome place ! read more

Carlie is a wonderful teacher. Her classes are well paced, have great music, and I always leave feeling a hundred times better than when I arrived. I haven't been able to get a massage from her yet but I can tell from her hands on assists during class that she has the touch, for sure. The studio is clean and inviting, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Parking has never been a problem for me when I go to the Saturday morning class. Highly recommend! read more
