Listen, ya'll. Joan has magic hands! First of all, her website's booking system makes it super easy…read moreto see when she's available and to change your appt as needed (I changed mine twice when I got sick and then today opened up in my calendar). So I came in today with a back that's been so stiff and sore! She takes the time to hear my whole story - back's been sore for 2 weeks, I do a drumming class where one leg is always in front, I have godbabies who I always hold in my left arm because I'm right handed, I run half marathons, I sit at a desk all day etc. With all this going on, I decide to treat myself to a 90 minute and I'm so happy. She really gets in to the tender parts, where the muscles attach and the oft neglected squishy parts that are hiding the tightest little muscles - and tells you as she's doing it while also offering advice for how to keep the tightness at bay. She's super knowledgeable about the body. When I'm the deep pain like I had today, I don't trust just anybody - she knows what she's doing! Sure, the building isn't pretty, but who cares, that's not what you're here for. (Also note that yelp's map is wrong - it's not near BART, it's in Alameda). Absolutely coming back!

Then we enjoyed vegan breakfast next door at Two Mamas. Such a great morning with my youngest son. Thanks again Jonathan! We'll be back soon - with other family members. We live in the Fruitvale (natives) and are glad to have such a quality CMT nearby. And, he does massage in a donation basis. If you can, you'll want to donate well...he's def worth it!

After struggling with severe back pain for quite some time, I finally scheduled a therapeutic…read moremassage with Erin, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I arrived, she created a calm and welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was how attentive and knowledgeable Erin was throughout the session. She listened carefully to the issues I was experiencing and focused on the areas causing the most discomfort. The massage was not only relaxing, but incredibly effective. I left feeling significantly better, with much less pain and tension than I had been dealing with before. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, skill, and genuine care the way Erin does. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone dealing with back pain, stress, or muscle tension.

The incredible strength of Erin's hands and her knowledge are unbeatable. She matches the vibe of…read morethe massage room to the mood of the customer, and really listens to what they have to say about what they need.

The specialists here really try to provide you with the best experience possible. They have a variety of people to choose from, and if you don't know who you'd like, they will have recommendations. I highly suggest that when you call into the hot line to ask the customer care to directly transfer you to the store. The staff members at the store is very professional and courteous to meet your needs with empathy and compassion. Time after time, I cannot tell you how much the staff personally takes an interest in my well-being from the moment I walk through those doors, especially the assistant manager (Miranda) and her team. My go to masseuses is Christian. Christian is trained in a variety of pressure and really pays attention to the reaction of your body. Christian's personality is so bubbly that it just makes you feel welcome every time he greets me. Janelle is fantastic with facials, too. She studied as a beautician and checks in on you every step to make sure none of the beauty products being used irritates your skin or you. She's also gentle with your needs and pays attention to the sensitivity of your skin, looking for any reaction if there is any. It's been a great pleasure being their customer, and I look forward to my next booking with them.

Suzanne's oasis of muscle therapy is a pleasant, clean, and relaxing space. When you walk in,…read moreyou're greeted by her cheerful and exuberant warmth. She asks lots of questions that are pertinent to your needs, what your comfort level is, how your last session felt afterwards, and where you'd like to focus on. I've found that communicating with her has really elevated my own healing, and she's willing to work with you to focus on the specific knots you'd like to work on while also providing feedback on other areas that your body is communicating needs work. She also asks you what your chiropractor (if you see one) has mentioned needs work so that she can work cohesively with your doctors to create a custom health plan that works to restore your body. As someone who has hypermobility issues, chronic pain, and frequent muscle and joint injuries, Suzanne's careful administration of anatomical knowledge as well as how to loosen the angry, inflamed muscles has been integral in getting my body back in balance. I came in because my tailbone and right hip were painful to move or even touch, and in just 3 sessions she was able to focus intently on those specific muscle areas and untangle a good portion of the aches away! She's incredibly flexible to work with, responsive with texts, and overall cares for your well-being. I also find her multi-session package to be reasonable compared to local competitors, especially if you have an injury area that requires more than one session. I'm glad to have found her and it's clear from her other clients that she's a well-respected practitioner doing good in the community with her hands and heart.
