Helena is amazing…read more I lived in China for 3.5 years and have had the benefit of expert Traditional Chinese Medicine and Massage Therapy sessions. I was having a difficult time finding the same or better quality here in the Pacific Northwest. Until I found Helena... originally up in Shoreline, WA, where she treated me. I have been seeking her new place in Tacoma and am so happy to find it on Yelp. If you want to feel better by Chinese massage therapy, acupressure, traditional Chinese medicine, see Helena. She will take care of your mind and body so professionally and expertly, it is great to know she is available to help us.

Came in with lower back pain/numbness/tightness and problems with joints that have come from years in the military and construction. My session consisted of switch rehab therapy, aromatherapy, and cupping. A lot of which was new to me. I walked away feeling like I took some mileage off my back. A feeling that I didn't think was possible for my body, as I've lived with this most of my adult life. If you genuinely want to rehab and work on your chronic pain, stiffness, ROM, and health. You give Helena a call to reach a point of relaxation in and out of your session.

The intra-oral massage was like nothing I'd ever experienced. It can be intense but Carol is so nurturing and thoughtful, constantly checking in on whether it's too much. She has a gift that can't necessarily be taught. You either are tuned into others or you're not. She definitely is, if you are able to experience her magic, I highly recommend it! Also, this suite has many thoughtful touches to ensure the guest is comfortable. I give this place 10 out of 5 stars.

I bought my sister a gift certificate of $180.00 for her birthday to enjoy a massage at Rapture…read more When she was filling out the form they asked her to provider her pronoun. This was not an optional question however it should be since its personal. She declined to answer the question online and by doing so could not complete the form. She went to Rapture in person on her appointment date to fill out any forms needed for the massage. She's been to spas before so she knows the routine is pretty straight forward when you're there. In this case however, it was not. While there she was told by a Rapture employee that she would have to answer the question and disclose her pronoun that she prefers. She explained to them that this is not necessary and that she doesn't feel comfortable disclosing this information to them or to anyone else for that matter. Rapture declined service due to this unnecessary, and what should be optional question to answer. They literally told her that they can't provide a massage service that has already been paid for through a gift certificate because she wouldn't disclose her pronoun preference. The employee also said this was required in case of an emergency. What emergency service would actually care or even ask what someones pronoun is? They don't. Furthermore, Rapture didn't even offer to refund the GC even though they weren't providing the service. The least they can do is provide a refund. That would be the descent thing to do. Not decline service and keep the money. Rapture, I have issued a charge back on to my credit card for services not provided.

UGH IF I COULD GIVE YOU NO STARS!!!!!…read more These guys were at the top of my list when I searched for massage places that accept worker's compensation insurance. I visited their website, reviewed all their services and read their reviews. I was eager to get relief from a job-related injury. However, I quickly discovered they are no longer willing to help. They advertise on their website that they assist with bodily and work-related injuries, but they have stopped doing so because they don't get paid the way they want when dealing with L and I. I was told this directly by a team member when I called. It's unacceptable that the medical field prioritizes profit over patient care. I injured myself on the job through no fault of my own, yet I am being denied proper treatment. This is selfish and unjust. If you want to retain customers, update your website immediately so people in genuine need are not misled or left suffering.

Literally a hidden-gem! I was pleasantly surprised by this establishment and the amazing massage I…read morereceived from Stephanie. I receive regular massages and facials (high end to medium standard/locally & during my travels) so I am very experienced in spotting a quality spa and know what great service looks like! The dim lighting and ambiance is very nice and calming. The establishment feels exceptionally clean and nicely decorated, even the waterfall faucet was fascinating! Not high end but good enough, great quality massage spot. My masseuse, Stephanie, is so skilled, has great technique and was in tune with my body. She truly has the magic touch and maintained the firm pressure that I like. The customer service was excellent from all of the staff members. I love how easy it was for me to book online (a requirement of mine), even last minute booking worked out well! BUT...I should have CALLED to book as it is required to receive the $10 off of the first massage. Oh well, I love to support small business. The location is fairly easy to find with the help of Google Maps but, can be hard to spot since I do not recall seeing a business sign along the main road (I could be wrong). They share a building and entry with another business (I think it was some insurance company). The massage business sign is on the door so you know it's the right place! I was so pleasantly surprised by University Place Massage. I will definitely be a regular here with Stephanie. I highly recommend checking this place out ASAP!

Courtnee is nothing short of amazing.

Visits with her are always extremely pleasant, there's no rushed sense of clock watching like I've gotten the few other times I've had massages. More than helping you relax she's interested in making you feel better and to take better care of yourself. In only a few visits she not only worked to reduce the pain in my knee but helped me work out the cause of my problem, my poor walking and posture. What used to limit my walking is only now a minor ache sometimes and I'm confident with better care and time can be eliminated all together. Do yourself a favor and get her introductory 3-massage package. You'll feel so much better and you'll have a great person looking out for you.

Courtnee, of Artful Touch, offers a great massage whether you are getting it casually or need focus for a particular problem or area. Her attitude is open and friendly and she really cares about her clients and their comfort. If, like me, you'd never had the experience of a massage purely for the sake of your own comfort and relaxation, then you should do so soon. And you should start with Courtnee. Her location is centrally located for anyone in the greater Seattle are and her evening hours are convenient for after a rough day at the office. Her massage suite is peacefully lit and tastefully decorated, and she plays soothing music during your appointment to contribute to your overall relaxation.

Words can't express the relief I feel right now. Yesterday I woke up with a stiff neck and whenever…read moreI moved a certain way I would get a muscle spasm. To the point where my whole body just tense up and freezes because of the pain. I was desperate to find a legit massage place or appointment that specializes in muscle release tension and not just rubbing my body with no rhythm. But the good ones were all unavailable for same day appointments. I found Marcela on Yelp and she responded to my inquiry right away and had availability same day. We exchanged contact information and she came to my home at 6pm for a 60min Deep Massage. Experience I am beyond happy with my experience, I requested to be focused on my upper back with the primary focus on my neck and shoulder. Marcela found the adhesion on my shoulder and worked it out as much as she can. At the same time she was loosening up the surrounding muscles since they were tensed. The whole time she would ask if the pressure was ok, and it was perfect. I felt so much relief from her massage, that when it was time to turnover (I was afraid because I was pre-empting the muscle spasm) I didn't feel any spasm and I knew right then that she practically healed me. She continued to focus on my neck and shoulder being careful not to cause anymore pain and would ask me to move my head to the left and right so she can massage (which I appreciated because I didn't want her to turn my head for me). Next Day As I write this the next morning, my neck and shoulder feels so much better. It's sore but not spasming out like it was all day yesterday until Marcela came over. Words can't express the relief I feel from yesterday. Chronic pain can really mess with one's mental health and yesterday I was not in the best place until Marcela came over. I exercise regularly (at least 5x/week with cardio and weight lifting), eat healthy, and stretch every morning and evening for at least 20-30min. I do my best to maintain a healthy lifestyle. From now on, I'll be adding massage therapy every other week to help lessen injuries and buildup of adhesion in my muscles. Marcela will definitely be on my contact list as part of my overall health journey. I highly recommend Marcela, her flexibility to meet you in the comfort of your home makes it that much more convenient especially if you are injured and getting dressed up isn't an option because of your lack of mobility.
