Buddha Bliss Bodywork & Wellness - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been to Buddha Bliss about 5-6 times over the past couple of years, and with most of my visits being over the past year. The therapists have been great listeners and made an effort to best understand where to focus and relieve any pain or tension. The environment here is also very relaxing, making it an easy choice to come back. I feel valued as a repeat customer here and look forward to continuing to come here! read more

I have been going to Buddha Bliss monthly for over 10 years now. The place is fantastic! The Signature Therapeutic Blend is awesome and is very reasonably priced. Nova is a very good therapist - I highly recommend her. I would suggest booking early to make sure she has open bookings. The place is very calming and quiet. Lots of nice touches and the rooms and tables are very clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a wonderful place to get a fantastic massage Buddha Bliss is the place to go. read more

I had a great experience with Nova. I appreciate finding this place. I'll be coming back. The price is very reasonable and the location for me is very convenient. I appreciate the wide range of massage styles they offer as well. read more

Easily the best massage I've ever had in my life. Perfect use of pressure, hard enough where I needed it most, and perfectly soft enough everywhere else. Perfect balance of restoration and grace. Judy is a magician when it comes to knowing where you're tense. Fantastic experience from entry to exit. Highly recommended and I absolutely plan on returning. read more

They squeezed me in and the therapist was out of this world amazing. She was very communicative on the pressure and what areas needed to be addressed. Very happy with this experience. Thank you!! read more

This is my favorite place to go for a massage. I am a full time auto repair mechanic 19 years , I race motorcycles the last 5 years and compete in disc golf tournaments. The recovery I get at +40 years is a life saver. Without the massage I couldn't keep up. I've had experiences with 4 different therapists and every visit I get an amazing experience its incredibly relaxing . Enchanted Massage right over by Golden Gate Park is another favorite. I learned the same owner owns Enchanted Massage. read more

Amazing massage and very professional. Clean and smelling good inside. Price is fair.

I'm really glad I found this place. It is a convenient location for me and the prices are very reasonable. The therapists are professional and I had an overall great healing session. I will be coming back for another massage. Thank you so much! read more

I saw Nova twice for deep tissue massages and she was wonderful! I hadn't had a massage in so long and was incredibly tight. She worked most of the tension out of me. I felt very well cared for and deeply relaxed after my massage. This is my spot from now on! read more

The best massage I've had in my entire life!!! TRULY - go see Arya ASAP! I did the 90 minute "try me" and she was incredible. I've had many massages and this was far and above the best. Trust me! read more

Had a really great experience, Wylin was very professional and did an amazing job. Would visit again.

My therapist actually listened to the areas I marked on the form, which doesn't always happen. They mixed techniques--some hot stone, deep tissue, and a little Thai,. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised to experience a blend of massage styles with expert hands at this spa. Because I work in the hospitality industry, I'm lucky to receive high end massages at some 5 star spas, so I had my "snobby-sense" turned on a bit (I hate to admit) when someone gifted me a massage from Buddha Bliss. What I experienced was healing, experienced hands at a fraction of the price of the "higher-end" spas. I'll be back! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Buddha Bliss for over 10 years. Every therapist that I've tried was exceptional. The facilities are cozy and clean. The decorations are thoughtful and help to create a relaxing environment. Every time I book an appointment, I know that I can leave my stress at the door and truly let go. I couldn't recommend Buddha Bliss enough. read more

===TL;DR=== - First time try me special!! - Offers for Bay Area residents only - 90 min, $133 (Reg. $180) - Yelp's 10% off for 60-120 min sessions doesn't apply to the first time try me offer - Offers tea when you arrive and when you're done - Let's you fill out a form on the areas you want to focus on - They ask if you have a guy or girl masseuse preference or if you had any particular massage therapist in mind (no preference for me) - You can tip from your credit card, cash, or Venmo etc ===TMI=== NGL, after I google mapped the place, I was very skeptical... BUT they did a great job and they're very clean! First massage since the pandemic started, wayyyyy overdue for one. They have a very easy to navigate and informative website to explore and make your bookings. I love this special they have, it allows people to explore their different techniques to find what's suitable for them. The lady I had (sorry forgot your name) was so good at getting all my knots, TYSM! They had a toss up of aromatherapy, oils, hot stones, and the different techniques of massages + stretches. One of the better place I've experience in terms of nailing the knots! read more

All experiences are my own. I am a certified crime victims rights advocate and have taken over 40 hours of training in domestic violence survivor advocacy. Amongst these great achievements, I'm also a certified social worker, Reiki Master, and CHW (community health worker). I am an honorably discharged veteran, acclaimed filmmaker, journalist and well known community advocate. I have an ethical and moral obligation and file my report of what occurred with the hopes this not happen to anyone else. Victim blaming is not the answer. Accountability is. Until justice is restored, my review stands: I do not recommend this business due to being banged in the head, wrists twisted, arms twisted, and energetically/emotionally violated and my boundaries crossed by the massage therapist who did say "sorry I hurt you" at the end, admitting her wrongdoings. Run the tapes. This is unacceptable. When I told the business owner I was assaulted, I was gaslit. I do not feel, and especially given my training, I know, this is not a trauma informed response. I'd like the community to take a holistic, victim centered approach to what restorative justice is. Until this business has some kind of real apology, and takes measures like having staff undergo trauma informed care training, and energetic boundary training, I cannot recommend this business in good faith. read more

I've been going to Buddha Bliss for about 6 years and about 5 years ago stopped trying anywhere else. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the massage therapists that I've tried are all very good. My favorite is Judy. She is great at balancing therapeutic work and relaxation. Just give yourself plenty of time to find parking if you're looking for a meter. Otherwise there is a small garage across the street. read more

I came back to Buddha bliss for a Thai style massage and my masseuse was Arya. Unfortunately my experience was quite awful and the opposite of my prior experiences. Arya was rude from the get go and when I asked her to lessen the pressure, ended up hurting my back. When I audibly said ow she still did not lighten up on the pressure even though I also verbally asked her to not be too firm. My back hurts more than when I went in, and to top it off she argued about tipping minimum 20-25 percent even though she did a bad job and caused me more pain. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because my partner also had a massage at the same time with Lydia and his experience was much better. read more

The boyfriend has been stressed from work lately, so I figured, might as well book a massage since we'll be out in the city anyways! This place was promoting a "Try Me" special on their website for a 1 hour massage and only $89! So of course I booked that because for 1 hour, that's a great deal. When we got there, we just had to wait for a little bit, but had the chance to use the restroom or enjoy the complimentary hot tea. We had Alise and Lidia as our masseuse and omg, these ladies are legit! Because this was the "Try Me" special, they combined all of their popular massages into 1 hour as sort of a sampler. Everything was amazing - from the cleanliness of the whole place, professionalism, all the way down to the massage itself. I would have to say this was the best massage we have had and will be coming back in the future. read more

I have been coming here for a couple of years and have always had great massages from various masseuses. I went in yesterday and mentioned the shoulder blade pain, in addition to my usual priorities, neck and shoulders. Judy worked on that area for quite a while. She manipulated my arm and shoulders, some pressure, but after a 18 months since my dog yanked my shoulder so bad that physical therapy didn't help, I suddenly can move my arm and reach and rotate in ways I hadn't been able to since my injury. read more

Amazing head neck and shoulder massage plus I did extra feet massage and all of it was incredible. A very small quiet spa and just my cup of tea. read more

Great value and high quality massages. They also have some of the best COVID safety precautions around. I've been here at least 7 times. I usually get the 60-min therapeutic massage. They also use a lot of essential oils and aroma therapy, so let them know if you don't want that included in your massage. This massage also include a few minutes of hot stones. Pro tip: Book a new massage therapist for an awesome discount. read more

Everything you could ask for and more! The ambience was impeccable and my masseuse did so well at her job that I nearly drooled and fell asleep. I received the prenatal massage from Judy and my fiance , Swedish with Arya. Highly recommend! read more

Bee is the absolute best massage therapist ever. Full stop. She is the perfect balance of pressure and soothing. Some massage therapists just push lotion around (where there's no actual substance / no pressure whatsoever) and other people make you cry it's so much pressure. It's hard to find that perfect balance and Bee does it best. In addition, she naturally has a very calming presence so it's relaxing from the moment you step in. In addition to setting up regular massages with Bee, I also received a massage from Bee when I was 9 months pregnant and just after a big operation in my 3rd tri. She was perfect. All of the pain from the operation and all of the discomfort from the pregnancy drained away. I unfortunately moved out of California a year ago and have tried many places but to no avail. I just saw her again on my first trip back to SF and she's still the best. If you're looking for the best quality of massage in the world, Bee @ Buddha Bliss is your answer! read more

It was my first time coming to Buddha Bliss and I'm happy to say that it won't be my last. They offer a deal for first time customers. Any massage or choice for $89/60 minute session; however, this is reserved for San Francisco residents, not visitors. I had the most a-m-a-z-i-n-g deep tissue massage by Mira. She was sure to tend to every muscle on my body. The use of heat applications during the massage only heightened it--the stones, hot towels. She also stretched out my muscles a bit as well. Just amazing. This place has 4.5 stars for a reason. It is not unwarranted. If you can't make the appointment, be sure to cancel ahead of time so you don't get hit with a cancellation fee. read more

Great massage at reasonable cost. My masseuse did an excellent job on my back and shoulder. Very pleasant staff and environment.

I had pain on my neck and left shoulder and this place practically made it disappear so seamlessly! Highly recommend, they have a nice booking system online and service was great, will definitely come again if ever in the area. read more

The last Friday I made myself happy with a Therapeutic massage with Vikorn. He's very good at this. I enjoyed every single minute thanks to his divine hands. He made me feel comfortable. He was very gentle and he accomplished my needs. At the end he offered me tea and treats. The place is located in a sad neighborhood though. I'm sure I'll book another massage as soon as possible. read more

I decided to spend my birthday on getting a massage from the Budda Bliss, which led me to meet my massage therapist, APINUN. AP is overwhelmingly professional about what he does. He has amazing hand touch that he helped me release all my tension and stress from toes to head. Not only that, I was very lucky and fortunate enough to receive his extra 10 minutes massage as my session ended. I could feel from the bottom of my heart that he really loves his work and enjoys doing his job with passion and enthusiasm, which really inspires me and fuels my energy that I was willing to tip him $40. Thank you, APINUN. You are one of the few to meet in these day. read more

Very very good massage. I am pretty picky when it comes to messages and this place did not disappoint. The pressure was just right. I was not sure how things were going to transpire when the masseuse asked if I mind if she walks on me which she did. I never thought someone feet could be so magical haha. Anyway, I left feeling great. Relaxed and free from knots. You can walk all over me anytime. read more

Tried the Bay Area resident deal (try each masseuse for the first time for 65/r), the other day. First off- that deal is nuts, I've never seen anything like that anywhere I've lived so kudos to them for making it so affordable! Angie's technique varied from Thai to trigger point to Swedish; I'm sure other clients would love that. unfortunately wasn't so jazzed, given I had specifically asked for someone with a firm grip. She didn't use her fingers much, but more her forearm and elbows. She did walk on my legs which I had never experience before so that was nice and new. But I was really looking for hip and and lower back relief since I have a bulging disk, that area gets quite tight. She also spent a lot of time trying to work out the knots in my shoulders but I'm not sure they ever got released. She finished off with hot stones that felt like the scorched my skin; same with the towel to wipe down the creams; I recommend she be more sensitive to that in the future with clients. I think with a little more experience she could really elevate her practice. I'm looking forward to returning and booking with some of the other therapists until I find the one that best jives with my needs. The venue was clean and relaxing right on Sutter. There was quite a bit of street noise but the relaxing music and heater helped. I also like that they integrated aroma therapy into the massage. Only street parking available, but I walked so not positive. read more

Last week I needed a last minute massage to recover from a stressful week. Not only did they make time for me they let me extend to 90 minutes! Just the relaxation and peace I needed. I had Apple as a therapist, would definitely recommend read more

First and foremost, I want to shout out Judy who was wonderful and gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. I will be going back just for her! Overall, I had a good experience (and a great massage) which is why I'm giving five stars but I still think there's a few things they could improve including: * Noise - I could hear men singing and children running around throughout my entire appointment. It would be great if there was a way to dampen the sound a little. * Tipping - I wanted to leave a tip on my credit card and because they prefer tips in cash or Venmo, this proved to be very difficult. It would be helpful if you could make it easier to tip using your credit card. * Oily - I know this isn't a full service spa and therefore there are no showers, but it would be nice if you could offer additional moist towels at the end to be able to wipe excess oil off with. It's very uncomfortable to put your clothes back on when you're still very oily. read more

I received a gift card and have since bought a prenatal package, additional massages, and have gifted friends with certificates as well. Buddah Bliss is perfectly zen without being a stuffy resort spa. Don't expect a locker room with plush robes and a steam room. This place offers massage rooms only, which is exactly why I love it. The rooms are dimly lit, each one has a water feature, the temperature is always perfect, but you can certainly ask for warmer or cooler, and the music is the right volume to keep you relaxed without being distracting. I've had Alise 3 times now and each time she has targeted the massage to my ever changing pregnancy needs. She is strong, effective, and while the massage is less relaxing and more functional each time, within a couple days my body feels 10 x's better. It truly feels medicinal. I've had dozens of massages in my life and these are, by far, on the tippy top of my list. Each time I leave, I already can't wait to come back. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. read more

I have had about 40 profesh massages in my life. The 2 hour session I just had with Alis was absolutely hands-down (pardon the pun) the best I have ever had. A perfect combo of Thai Foot, slow Swedish and hot rocks that accomplished both some deep body work as well as a soul-mending level of relaxation. The facility is clean and calm and quiet. The staff friendly and chill. My deepest appreciation for Buddha bliss. Go try them out and ask for Alis! read more

I almost didn't want to post this review..because I know it will only get harder to get an appointment! I have gotten massages all over the world and I have to say Buddha Bliss has been the most rejuvenating experience. Arya was my therapist this time and she is magic. A true professional who could feel and find out exactly which muscle and knot to work. I was her last client of the day yet she went on to fight the muscle demons with full force and expelled them from my body. She gives no less than 120% and so should you! I just hope she is available to book for next time. read more

Found muscles I didn't know I had. I should not be handling heavy equipment for a few hours. Incredible.

Went for the first time today and had a great experience! I did the "Try Me" special which was quite a steal, $89 for 1 hour! I was a little bit late because of issues with finding parking despite the abundance of metered parking, but my masseuse Thaa was incredibly accommodating, super sweet and kind, and did not make me feel rushed at all. I was offered a complimentary cup of tea which was delicious and had one of the best massages I've had in my 3 years here in SF! Thaa spent the first few minutes trying to sort out the type of massage I would benefit from and which areas would be best to focus on. She checked in just enough (not too frequently, not too infrequently) to make sure she was adjusting the pressure according to what I needed in different areas. It was an excellent medley of different types of massages, and when I later asked her how she would classify the massage type, she said she was really just honestly trying to piece together things that would best help my problem areas, which is TOTALLY what someone wants to hear from their masseuse! :) I loved that she got a sense of what I needed and tried out whatever she felt in her expertise made sense, because it really paid off and it was so interesting with a lot of unique maneuvers and stretches I've not had before. As I was driving home, I was scanning through my schedule to see when I can come back next! I can't wait to get another massage from Thaa! read more

Awesome experience and great service . Definitely will be looking forward to seeing more of this great massage service from the team!!!!
