It's difficult to write a negative review. Here was my experience with BodyRevive. I was looking to find a couples massage class where my wife & I could learn effective massage techniques for use at home. When I found exactly that on the BodyRevive website, I sent a request for info through the website. I didn't hear anything for a few days, so I decided to call during business hours. The first time I called, I spoke with Phyllis who told me all about the couples massage class. I requested an appointment date & time and she said she would get back to me to let me know if that would work. After a few more days, no call back. I then called and left voice messages 3 or 4 more times over the course of 2 weeks. In my last voice message, I even quoted her outgoing voice message back to her where she says that voice messages will be returned within 24 hours. My messages were kind & forgiving, even asking if there was a conflict with the date I had chosen or if she had some kind of situation come up where she couldn't accommodate. Unfortunately, none of my messages were returned. I'm left with nothing but a mystery. It would be my great pleasure to remove this review if Phyllis would just reply and try to make things right with me. She has such great reviews from everyone else; I would like to join in their chorus! For now, I'm giving BodyRevive a 2 because they have a great website, offer great services, have many enthusiastic 5-star reviews, and Phyllis was very professional to speak with on the phone. Beyond that, I'm very disappointed. -CP read more

Phyllis is a great masseuse, very professional and she really knows her stuff. I first met Phyllis as my masseuse at a high end La Jolla sports club where I paid over $100 for a 50-minute massage. Discovering Phyllis only works there part time I did a little investigative work (a la Google) and found she has her own practice. Woo hoo! I'm so glad I found her, and my wallet thanks her for her affordable pricing! She even offers a discount if you have insurance. I've had massages at all kinds of places, from small studios to high-end resort spas, and sometimes I don't know what I really paid for. Phyllis is definitely one of the best (if not the best) masseuse I've ever had! On top of that, she offers massage at very reasonable prices ($65 an hour). Right now, she is even offering a deal so you get 5 massages for the price of 4! One of the things I really like is that Phyllis always gives you a full hour (or more!) - your time starts when you're on the table. She gives you the 4-star resort treatment using aromatherapy oils, massage lotion, warm towels and the like. She'll even heat the massage table which I appreciate. You'll feel like you're on vacation! She also offers you tea or water and organic fruit after the massage and asks for feedback or constructive criticism. Who does that these days? While her massages are a deal you definitely don't get jipped on the service! When I just want a good massage and don't need the extra amenities that you pay for at a resort spa, Body Revive Wellness is perfect! You can afford to treat yourself to a quality massage more often at these prices. read more

See all

Phyllis is amazing! I have a lower back injury and was recommended by my doctor to find a massage therapist to help with the healing process. Phyllis made sure to ask questions about my injury, take notes, and even asked me to get some paperwork filled out by my physical therapist so she could be better informed to help care for my injury. I felt so safe and heard during the massage. She made sure that our time was spent for relaxing, but also she worked a lot on my injury. Afterwards, she also spent time going over the session and asking for feedback. Highly recommend! read more

You're entering the relaxation zone!! With Phyllis taking you on a serene journey full of various massage modalities, you're sure to leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Phyllis was running a few minutes behind due to a crash in the 163, she called me to let me know she was on her way and would be there ASAP. I appreciated the heads up and it was no big deal. After she say me down to ask me a few questions and have me fill out some paperwork. She set the tone for the room during this time. Relaxing music, heated massage table, heat pad, etc. After that I changed and had one of the best massages of my life! She uses long strokes, short strokes, hot stones, in order to give you a quality massage. She gives you your allotted time frame and asks as she's going along how it's feeling. Lastly, she debriefs with you afterwards to be sure everything was to your liking. You will not be disappointed I you get a massage from Phyllis!! read more

Phyllis is AMAZING. She's magic personified. When you first step into her sanctuary you're immediately put at ease by your surroundings. Your instinct is to relax...listen to it. :) In addition to having a calming presence she's wonderful at what she does. She takes your concerns, issues, stresses, aches and pains into consideration and tailors the treatment to your needs. To call it a massage doesn't do it justice. One day I walked into my appointment feeling completely down and by the time I left...I felt like I could do anything and everything! She's good for the mind and soul as well as the body. Thank you Phyllis! read more

I love Phyllis! She is such a great person and awesome masseuse. She really cares about you and how your body is feeling. I love the entire experience... she includes aromatherapy, hot stones, and towels in all of her massages. It's so relaxing... sometimes I accidentally fall asleep. She's really personable despite the many repeat clients she has. It may be hard to get an appointment, but it's totally worth it! read more

I was suffering from mild neck pain/strain from a recent injury and looking for relief. I found BodyRevive Wellness based on its location and rating. I am so glad that I visited!!! I was scheduled for a one-hour massage therapy with Cherre. I'm sorry if I butchered the spelling of her name. It sounded like "Cher-REE." I can't recommend her enough. Cherre performed magic on my neck. I felt almost completely back to normal. Cherre was very knowledgeable and experienced. We spoke briefly about my injury and discussed what we were going to do about it. She was able to locate and eliminate stubborn knots on my back. She also performed brief reflexology on my feet and fingers that made me melt. The pressure was perfect. I felt very, very relaxed. She also used hot stones that felt great. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it felt so good that I almost cried. The room was clean, the sheets felt so comfortable, and the waiting area had a calming atmosphere. Water, small oranges, and granola bars were set up in the waiting area for hungry customers. It was such a nice touch because I was starving before my appointment. The office is located in a business park. I have been recommending this place nonstop since my amazing visit. Please go! read more

Visiting from out of town and decided to treat myself to a massage. I was not disappointed! Phyllis is such a skilled professional, she asked me to let her know if the pressure was too much or not enough, so even if she doesn't ask you let her know! But her her pressure amounts for me were perfect so I didn't need to adjust. Treat yourself and go see Phyllis! If I lived down here I'd see her at least once a month. :) read more

I've only had three massages in my life. That being said, I'm able to recognize a good masseuse when I find one. Phyllis falls smack dab in the middle of that category. I don't have any cerebral this or herniated that, so getting a massage for me is pretty much as simple as a massage can be. What sets Phyllis apart is that she actually cares about you. She has you fill out a form so you can describe what is bothering you (or isn't), and then she sits down and goes over it before she starts the massage. She asks you what pressure you like during the massage, and then actually gives you that pressure. And the best part, she sat down with me after the massage and asked me about my life. Now some may not want to chit-chat with their masseuse (hell some don't like to chit-chat with their significant other, not me of course, I LOVE chit-chatting with my gf). And I'm sure if you don't want to talk to her, you can go and just get a nice massage. But if you do feel like talking, it can be very therapeutic to just tell someone else. read more

I got a massage from Phyllis this afternoon and couldn't wait to write this review because I can actually sit up right at a computer with a happy back thanks to her. The first great part of the massage was the ease of parking. I am not sure about week days but on a Saturday I could have re-parked my car about 50 times. Then I met Phyllis and instantly liked her even before I discovered what an amazing masseuse she is. She is just a kind woman who is easy to talk to and immediately puts you at ease. Then massage time. Just a few things I loved: ~The heated table ~The moist heat she begins with ~The healing touch she has ~She uses the perfect amount of pressure to get the knots out while also totally relaxing you. ~She asks you all of the right questions ( but not too many) to let you know she wants to work with you to give you a massage that is a perfect fit for you. She checks in with you and ensures you are comfortable at all times. ~She uses a combination of her hands, arms and hot rocks and well it rocks. ~She pampers you with scented or unscented oils ( your call), hot towels, and soothing music. ~Her prices are fantastic. ~She is generous with her time. ~The massage room is relaxing and beautiful. ~She offered me tea, water or snacks afterwards. ~My body hasn't felt this good in months. ~She gives discounts for insurance. Which proves just how kind she is. My massage ended just a few hours ago and I have already texted three people her website because I want everyone I love to feel this good. read more

Phyllis is a very professional massage therapist. I am an avid runner and keeping my muscles in the best condition is critical to my success. I can count on Phyllis to help my body heal and relax. Thank you Phyllis! read more

Awesome experience..will def go back. So much effort to get to know me and what I neeeded..we debriefed after massage . Gave me tea and water. Massage bad and blanket are heated ,aromatherapy,reasonable price ! read more

Phyllis provides a wonderfully relaxing massage experience. She is extremely attuned to empathetic to the massage experience you want and adjusts to provide that. More or less pressure, specific problem areas, different music, conversation or silence. She is constantly making an effort to optimize your experience, and making subtle changes to accommodate. I had several bad massage groupon experiences in a row, and this was my last try, but Phyllis went above and beyond. She constantly pushed out her deadline to accommodate the number of groupons sold (rather than just telling people the schedule was full and letting them expire, like other places have done to me). She explained everything up front, so I could help her customize my massage experience. And her care in handling every aspect from scheduling to massage to feedback sold me on returning as a regular client. I cannor recommend her highly enough! read more

PHYLLIS IS THE REAL DEAL. Around a month and a half ago I really needed a massage. I called massage envy to see if they could fit me in and (luckily) they couldn't. That prompted me to consult yelp for fantastic massage therapists that might be better for me. I found Phyllis and I am NEVER looking back. She is so wonderful and pleasant. She cares about the ENITRE massage experience. I have had three massages with her so far and each one has left me in a state of pure bliss. I have noticed that I have increased energy the days following my massage. Phyllis will pull out all of the stops to help you feel better. I highly recommend BodyRevive to anyone. read more

I purchased a Groupon valid for a massage at BodyRevive Wellness. Phyllis is a great massage therapist and has skills that extend beyond the massage table. She took the talk to reviews my medical history related to stress and pain and talked to me about her techniques and what to expect. She made me feel very comfortable during our session, quietly inquiring about pressure and my problem areas during the massage. She was definitely sensitive to my needs and problems before, during and after the session. In addition to her massage techniques, Phyllis used complementary tools for the overall well-being: lavender lotion, relaxing music, heated massage table, heat pad and other tools. Overall it was a very relaxing massage experience. I definitely recommend Phyllis and BodyRevive Wellness to anyone who wants a really good massage with an experienced therapist. PS. Location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking (Private lot). read more

Phyllis was simply fantastic: kind, reasonably priced and a wonderfully relaxing massage. I will definitely go back!

I have been to a few different places for massages in southern california, it was back in 2012 that my husband, then boyfriend, was searching for a great massage place for me due to my crazy sciatica pain. I'm so glad he found Phyllis and BodyRevive Wellness! I was so impressed by her knowledge and how approachable Phyllis is with her clients. She gives amazing rates, and would spend the full hr on me, sometimes more if she knows I've been in so much pain from my sports injuries. Phyllis takes the time to get to know me and my husband, I have not had another other masseuse work on me since we found phyllis! I've been going to phyllis for massages for the past two years, she's great with booking emergency appts as well if I really needed it. We have also done couples massages, and even took a couples massage class with her, all so worth it. We love Phyllis, I see her once a month at least to keep up with my self care massage, because a girl needs some relaxation. Phyllis has helped reduce a lot of my muscle pains through the years. She so kind and such a gentle soul! I can tell she is passionate about her work, I've recommended her to many friends and they've been hooked ever since as well! Perks: the lavender lotions, orange oils, the warm blankets, heating pads, the heat rocks, hot towels, and she offers water, tea, fresh fruits, and nuts as gifts to take with you at the end of session! How awesome is that? Again, we love Phyllis. read more

Best massage ever. A true healer with a heart of gold, honesty and integrity. Thank You Body Revive Wellness!!

Phyllis is wonderful. She really cares about her clients, takes the time to find out exactly what you want and need and the massage studio is lovely. I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. I have already referred family and they are also hooked. Her prices are reasonable and the studio centrally located. I am so glad I found Phyllis. She is magic! read more

I am a small-muscle athlete, a musician. :) So I have chronic tension from my job. I found Phyllis through Yelp a few weeks ago, looking for someone nearby and affordable that had good reviews. All of the previous reviews continue to be accurate and true. I don't have new information to offer, but felt it was important to add a more current confirmation of her awesomeness. I especially appreciate that she takes notes after each session on what you liked and what you'd like changed for next time. I've never had that before and it is much easier for me to give feedback afterwards. I don't write many reviews, only for businesses I want to help. Hope this helps you in your search! read more

Phyllis is a great therapist, has years of experience, and knows her trade well enough to teach others. Her facility is always clean and pleasant to be in. Her massage will absolutely spoil you. read more

Phyllis is absolutely AMAZING!! she was professional, attentive & a sweetheart. Her prices are affordable & you won't regret giving her a chance to revitalize you! we did a couples massage & she made the experience great while teaching us to care for your partners wellness. read more

I had a wonderful massage from Phyllis several months ago. Not only did she provide me with a great massage, focusing on all of the areas that I mentioned, but she has a lovely personality. She made me feel very comfortable during the whole experience and I left feeling as though I had made a friend. I look forward to going back! read more

Phyllis was kind enough to fit me in for a massage emergency. The muscles in my neck cramped up and I was unable to turn my neck, as you can imagine extreme pain. I had called a number of massage therapists (all booked up) and Phyllis was the only one to hear the distress in my voice. When I got to her office she got to work right away and after 40 minutes with her I was able to turn my head comfortably as well as drive safely. She's so kind and I really appreciated what she did for me. I will be back! read more

Excellent customer service by Phyllis and fantastic massage by Karen. I will go here again and again!!

I have been seeing Phyllis for years and absolutely love her. She is very attentive to her clients. She always asks what areas need to be worked on and checks in during the massage. Her massages are always so relaxing and she is a wonderful person! I also recently had a massage done by Rebecca. Phyllis was unavailable on one of the days I wanted to come in. Rebecca did an amazing job! She found knots in my body that I was unaware of. It is apparent by her massage that she understands the body really well! She is also a lovely person. I was extremely happy with my massage by Rebecca! read more

Phyllis is a phenomenal massage therapist. I feel like it's an hour of bliss when I get a massage at BodyRevive Wellness. I saw a very good massage person years ago and had not found anyone nearly as skilled until I met Phyllis. Besides her wonderful, personalized massages, she's a lovely and giving person. Also, her rates are more than reasonable, her new studio charming. read more

The BEST MASSAGE in San Diego. I found Phyllis over a year ago. She is a hidden gem located in the Clairemont/Kearny Mesa vicinity. It doesn't matter if you are new to massage or have had massage before, you will not be disappointed. I have sent 6 people to Phyllis and everyone is ecstatic when they give her a try. Highly recommend her services - I am lucky to call Phyllis my masseuse and a good friend! read more

Since moving from Virginia, I have been looking for a new massage therapist. My search is over! From the moment you enter until you leave, there is such a serene, comforting ambience. The customer service is exceptional! Hot towels, skilled massage, and you never feel rushed. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed! read more

As United States Marine I was referred to BodyRevive Wellness Massage by the VA to help with PTSD. We would receive one complementary message and we would be responsible for our treatment's after that. I tried to contact Phyllis by phone no return call I felt they were out right ignoring me and to this day have never returned my calls . I will not be recommending any of my comrades to this therapist. read more

My deep-tissue session with Phyllis was simply remarkable. I've been to many massage therapists due to me being an over-active athlete and she ranks at the top, in terms of service and attentiveness to your needs. I had troublesome knots in my neck/shoulders & she alleviated them with several techniques, including hot stones (which I was a fan of) in just an hour. I've already recommended her to coworkers & friends and will definitely return. read more

This was a fabulous find on Yelp this weekend. I have reoccurring sciatica pain and was very stiff and sore this weekend. I called yesterday and Phyllis was able to fit me in for an appointment this morning. We talked for a while about what my massage goals were and what target areas I needed help with. The actual massage was amazing as was her knowledge of the human body. My body felt tremendous relief immediately and the pain I was experiencing is gone. She also gave me some tips on how to make it feel better between visits. I have already recommended her to a friend and will continue to do so! read more

I get a massage from Phyllis once a month. Being a military wife, what will I do if we move? :) I have had several massages in my life and she is the best!! I used to shop around for the cheapest massage but now will ONLY go to her. Not only does she provide hot towels, essential oils, heated table and a great massage but she also sends you off with a hot tea or bottle of spring water AND a snack bag. I feel so pampered when I am there. Thanks Phyllis!!!! read more

I have received the best healing experiences and calm relaxing moments from Phyllis at BodyRevive Welllness! Originally I went to see Phyllis for pain from an auto crash injury. After helping me greatly with that incident I continued to get bodywork for just the general aches and pains from my physical job. I often feel like I am literally floating through the massage table. The ambiance is so calming..the music is great...the entire experience is like a mini-vacation. Phyllis is very talented and will understand and talk to you about any specific needs you may have for your massage. I HIGHLY recommend Phyllis for a wonderful customized massage----do not deny yourself! read more

Couples massage class was great! My wife and I had an awesome time today. Phyllis was such a great teacher and very patient with us and took time to answer all of our questions. We learned a lot in this "hands on" class. The environment was very relaxing and peaceful. My wife and I suffer from low back back pain and apart from the general massage techniques that Phyllis showed us she also showed us techniques for our "trouble" areas. I highly recommend this class and Phyllis for anyone that wants to relax and have fun, and connect, through touch and massage, with their significant other. read more
