Highly recommended. My wife and I have been regulars at Grace Day Spa for nearly a year, and it has…read moreconsistently been a highlight of our self-care routine. The space is always pristine, from the fresh linens to the calming atmosphere. While every provider is professional and skilled, Kelly is my go-to. As someone who requires very firm pressure, our sessions have become truly therapeutic. She has developed a deep understanding of my physiology and knows exactly what's needed to get my body back to 100% through incredibly deep tissue work and fascia manipulation. A quick heads-up: the walls aren't floor-to-ceiling, so you can occasionally hear ambient noise from the hallway. However, it's a minor trade-off and very typical for similar boutique spas in the mid-peninsula. In terms of cost, prices are consistent with the area -- not the lowest, but a great value given the quality. I have never had anything less than a stellar massage here, whereas other local spots can be hit or miss. If you want consistency, this is the place.

Jade was able to point out that I favor carrying my backpack on my right shoulder just by feeling around my sides which blew my mind! I felt super comfortable the entire time and Jade was so welcoming, considerate, and patient. She adjusted her pressure as needed and shared tips on how to address certain areas of my body that were feeling pain or needed attention. I am now making an effort to carry my backpack on my left shoulder (or both shoulders) to even things out. Thank you so much for alleviating a lot of my back pain and tightness from just one session, I'll be coming back soon with hopefully even sides from proper backpack carrying (:

Massage was okay, I am massage lover so I know how a good massage feels like. I do not know think that lady knows how to make massage: very unusual techniques, a lot of pressure, sometimes too much. I was kinda laying there and saying next time make sure to make appointment at my old place. Experience was completely ruined when the massage therapist was very closely looking at me writing tips like terrorizing me. Of course no asking how it was, how do I feel... I do not recommend this 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!

She moved her hands at lighting speeds like a spaz and did not know how to work on any trouble areas because her hands were only in any given place for a split second.

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!
