I love praising good people behind their back and I'm going to do it here so get ready:…read more Tranzend is a woman of color owned and operated small business. A small biz that punches above its weight class and does it all with kindness. I struggled for YEARS not knowing what my diagnosis was and was in a deep struggle with my physical health and mental well being. No one understood me. Health care providers would misdiagnose me multiple times before I found the right fit and would often seek referrals from anyone I trusted to find a massage therapist who could be kind, attune to my diagnosis, and just a good human being. Janice didn't just change my life; she saved it. The work we did together on not just my physical being but my soul was something I can never thank her enough. My financial situation wasn't the greatest either but Janice would insist on making it work and I dare say she would do the same for any of her clients. I don't recollect how many years I would see Janice but it was a lot. Janice is a compassionate and empathetic massage therapist and she has a breadth and depth of expertise that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. If you're not seeing this woman, what are you doing with your life?

My husband found Janice and booked massages for us for our anniversary (we stayed in downtown…read moreSeattle for the occasion). We each had a 60 minute massage in her cozy little studio with the most beautiful rooftop view of the Sound. The massages were great (my introduction to cupping) and Janice is a lovely person. I get massage and other body work done regularly so I've experienced a wide variety of quality. I'm also not the easiest body to work on (very tight, problem spots). I would absolutely come back again. I can't comment about the value because I didn't pay the bill :-) Hubby said her prices were average, though. I'm not complaining about anything because I enjoyed myself and felt great afterward, but setting expectations so no one is disappointed. The massage studio is in a large professional building and shares hall space with other medical professionals. TrandZend is a single massage room, not a full spa experience. Because it's in a professional building, it's locked on weekends and Janice has to come down to let you in (didn't phase us since the sun was shining, but this could mean waiting outside for quite a while). Janice creates a warm, inviting experience, but take note if you're looking for something different. I debated between 4 and 5 stars because it isn't a full spa, etc. but I figure it's the quality of the massage that matters and that was definitely a 5 star experience.

I have very tight shoulders and hips - Megan was able to relieve the pressure and pain that pressure caused. She didn't just massage but also used pressure points, stretching and more to release my tight muscles. The office was very clean, well-kept and relaxing- her practice is inside a chiropractic office which to me is a good sign! She offers great deals for first time clients as well as referral bonuses. Make an appointment with Megan it will make you feel like a regular person instead of a knotted up mess!

A long overdue review in praise of Ellen's deeply intuitive and healing massage…read more I have dealt with Ménière's disease for over 10 years and Ellen is the only therapist who has been successful in helping head heaviness lift. One of the best things about Ellen is she really listens in regards to how I'm responding to treatment. She applies different techniques till we have a breakthrough.

I always enjoy being greeted by her little dog, Tucker, which eases me into the right frame of mind to relax and enjoy the massage. She's very attentive and able to adapt to my latest sports injuries or specific needs with every massage appointment. I also appreciate that at the end of the massage, Ellen always asks if she missed anything and will spend extra time if needed. Her Fremont office is one massage room with a pretty view and a balcony, so no distractions with the comings and goings like in a spa setting.

I'm a strong believer in the healing power of regular massage and with my new aches and pains I knew it was important to find a great massage therapist. I struck gold when I found Lauren. I've been getting regular massages with her for months now and she has helped me with many different issues. Lauren's massages are not only relaxing but extremely effective in relieving my aches and pains. I would highly recommend Lauren to everyone, whether you have a specific issue that needs addressing or are just in need of some major relaxation. She's the best!

Afterwards she taught me some stretches that could help me out. I will definitely return and refer all of my clients to see her!

My first time experiencing craniosacral work, and she explained it perfectly, sharing the scientific words and explaining them to the layman (me) in such a seamless way, that I left feeling as if I've done it a thousand times! Go see her. For massage, for deeper understanding of yourself, not only in respect to physical understanding and well-being but also emotionally, spiritually.

I have been very impressed by the thorough notes they take before and after each session, which helps one pick up where the other left off, and also keeps track of my progress and goals. I'm glad they are conveniently located in my neighborhood, but I would gladly drive to see them; this level of service would definitely be worth the drive and parking (there is always street parking - usually right out front - and it's only $1.50/hr). I have seen many massage therapists over the years, and this is the best service I've received to date. I look forward to continuing my therapy with Helix!
