HEATED BAMBOO THAI MASSAGE (5 stars + meteor shower + star…read morelinks) This is one of the best Thai Massages I've had in San Diego! Hurt so good, went home so relaxed and limber. :: BOOK :: I am no stranger to Thai Massages! Do not mistake my small figure as fragile - I have a high tolerance for what is to come. I booked in advance a Bamboo Thai Massage because I never had a massage with Bamboo and needed to try it. I followed the owner from a previous place but upon booking she was not available the day I was coming and picked Nita for a 75m session. I read each of their backgrounds and had a hard time selecting because they all sounded amazing but went with Nita because her profile showed 15+ years of experience. :: EXPERIENCE :: Upon arrival, several of the women treated me (they were so genuine and kind). The place is clean and legit. I was escorted to the room and Just like any other Thai Massage, you take off all our clothes except for your panties (or underwear) and lay on the massage bed with a light bedsheet over you. The room looked like a typical Thai Massage room. I had alot of tightness, knots, and soreness on my back muscles and needed strong presser for this session. Nita had the hands and strength for that. I love pressure and can tolerate it - most times I have to tell someone to apply more. Nita applied perfect strong pressure I was looking for. She even kept checking on me to see if I was okay of it was too much - yah my ooh's and ahh's were not silent! I was 100% okay thru the session. it hurt SO good! She did a phenomenal job giving me a good Thai massage and even noticed the tightness and knots. She focused on all the right places with the right amount of pressure. Heated Bamboo. The temperature is similar to hot stones but since it's wood the heat isn't kept and the rotation of bamboos to reheat was needed. However, I did enjoy the bamboos, the shape gets in narrow or curved areas better than heated stones. The session was not entirely heated bamboo, it was mostly a Thai massage and then a session with the heated bamboos. I lost track of time - this massage was fantastic. Nita even massaged a little extra out of kindness which really made my day. Everything felt so good - HIGHLY RECOMMEND I now know not to wait too long for a massage and to treat myself to this place much more often. Love this place! Until the next massage....

I really think this is the best massage I've ever had. I've had the Thai combination massage twice,…read moreand both visits were exceptional! I came in with very tight muscles and lots of tension, but afterward I felt like a bowl of jelly (in a really good way). I prefer a strong, deep tissue massage that will be effective in relieving muscle tension. I especially enjoyed my 2-hour massage with Jane, the owner. I really liked her technique, and she was able to identify and target my knots. Her pressure was spot-on using a combination of hands, knuckles, elbows, and walking on my back. During my session, she suggested that I try cupping and the bamboo massage, and I'm glad I agreed. She implemented the cupping and bamboo into my session, and I think this really helped loosen my muscles as well. I can tell that Jane really cares about her customers, and wants to help them feel better by providing a great experience. The location has plenty of easy parking, and the inside is clean and quiet. Massage beds are large, heated, and comfortable. They offer early bird discounts if you book early on a weekday, and also have a military discount. Even without the discount, pricing is very reasonable for the exceptional service. It makes it tempting to come in often for a massage! I think I'll definitely become a regular customer here.

Given that I'm one of those people who's body clenches up, gets twisted and pinched often, that I…read moresit in front of a computer all day and commute slouched in a car, I've been under the hands of A LOT of massage therapists. In fact, I believe I started when they were called masseuses. =) So I say w confidence that Princina is ONE OF THE BEST! Her technique at breaking up the knots in my shoulders and neck are effective and soothing. Other therapists have been effective to a degree but something about the way Pricina goes after the problem areas just feels better. Plus she is professional, on-time, happy and positive - great energy. I just hope she doesn't get too busy for me now!

Although I love using Yelp, this is actually my first review. I've been so satisfied with Princina…read morethat I decided to write a review. First of all, I've tried all the different types of massage places in SD. I've been to the Asian ones, Massage Envy, etc. I go to the gym 4 times per week and I sit at a computer all day at work. So you can imagine my body needs a massage frequently. I first decided to try Princina because her office is close to my home and the other 2 reviewers before me had encouraging things to say about her. All I have to say is she definitely knows what she's doing. I tell her what body parts are aching and sore and she gets to work right away. The amount of pressure she applies is always perfect, and she always adjusts it for tender areas based on your reaction. I don't have to direct her much like some places where they just massage you brainlessly. She pays attention to your body so she'll spend more time in certain areas that you need more work on. I've only been with her for 3 sessions but I know I will keep coming back. During our second session (which I paid for a 1-hr massage), she went beyond the 1-hr and kept working on my back because it was a trouble area. She said she did not want to send me home with my back the way it was. That's service! Also, her prices are very reasonable. Princina is just starting out her office after moving from LA and trying to build up her clients. I was just want to echo what Barndi said about her -- she is very professional, always on-time, and very positive. I definitely recommend giving her a try!

I found this place through Groupon, where they advertised accepting walk-ins. When my mom arrived,…read morethey refused service, despite claiming to take walk-ins. Instead of honoring their own policy, the staff prioritized walking their dog over serving a paying customer--completely unprofessional and a potential health code violation. If you don't want to offer discounted services, don't list yourself on Groupon. Turning away customers because you're "too busy" while literally stepping out for a dog walk is ridiculous. Avoid this place if you expect basic customer service and professionalism. Edit: This owner replied to a Google review claiming she removed her business from Groupon and we showed a screenshot, this is our response: That's completely false. My mom purchased the Groupon yesterday, so if you stopped offering services last week, why is your business still listed? Instead of admitting your mistake, you're blaming the customer. If you don't want to honor Groupon deals, remove yourself from the platform instead of misleading people and wasting their time. Completely unprofessional.

Had the exact same experience as the other reviewer. Found this place on Groupon back in February…read moreand bought a voucher. Being as the voucher was getting ready to expire, called to make an appointment. Only to be rudely told "I'll call you back" and to get a text message 40 minutes later telling me that they have terminated their partnership with Groupon and that I should contact Groupon for a refund. Pretty sure, they did not communicate that to Groupon as Groupon would have let me know. And I am still finding their business advertised on Groupon 3 months after they told the other reviewer that they removed their business from Groupon. Now I am having to contact Groupon to initiate a refund because they could not bother to let Groupon know that they were not honoring vouchers and to remove them from their platform themselves. Very unprofessional and a big waste of my time Be forewarned, don't buy their services if you find them on Groupon, (they are still listed on Groupon as of May 2025) as they will not honor vouchers.

I was referred to Jackie by another massage therapist from my Physical Therapist's office. I called her within an hour of getting the referral to schedule a much needed appointment. I had pulled a muscle in my upper back and the pain was too much to deal with for any longer. I could not rotate my head to the left AT ALL and had developed a terrible headache. Jackie did not have any appointments available at first, but then she decided that I should be seen right away. She changed her schedule to accommodate mine. AMAZING! When I arrived, Jackie sat down with me and performed a thorough assessment. She even asked about previous injuries. She then took pictures of me to analyze my posture. After the assessment, the treatment began. Now, Jackie does offer relaxing massages, but I needed something more therapeutic. I am not going to lie, the treatment was uncomfortable and painful at times (like physical therapy), but the results were amazing. After she was done, my headache was gone, and I could rotate my head without ANY pain. Jackie is incredibly professional. The day after my treatment she called me to make sure everything was still working and to see if I had any questions or concerns. I have never had a therapist do that before and was quite impressed. I highly recommend Jackie Apostol for anyone looking for massage therapy. She accepts Spafinder gift cards :)

He did have to confirm with Ms. Emily, the other massage therapist, but was very communicative with me in the process and confirmed in a few minutes. We originally booked for the 8pm but had to move our appt around and he was able to make it work. We arrived we were welcomed by Maurice and Emily. Yes it an office space but it is very private and intimate. Not like other places where they have multiple rooms and you hear everything through the walls. They took our intake forms got a little info about us and off we went. As for my massage this was probably one of the best massages I've had! I've been to many places and Emily did amazing! She used the right amount of pressure, she found all my knots and I've never been so relaxed in my life! I also loved how she used the right amount of massage oil because at other places I feel my skin chafe. My boyfriend even said this was one of the best massages he's had! Afterwards they weren't in a rush for us to leave they took their time speaking with us talking about the areas of tension we had, unlike other places that have quick turn around times after each client. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly highly recommend them!
