Shirley is very talented, has very strong hands and has a deep understanding of the body. She was able to get some of my deep knots to the surface by massaging other parts of the body. I booked a two hour deep tissue and she definitely delivered. The place is professional and clean, but note that it is not a spa. I don't think I'd come here for couple massages or a "luxurious typical relaxing" experience, I'd come here for a truly relaxing massage that'll help heal your body.

I lost my last local masseuse when he moved from San Mateo to Portugal some years ago & never found a replacement. Let me start by saying Shirley's massage Studio is very peaceful with high ceilings, lovely decorative touches and is painted in soothing colors. The soft music she plays in the background is very relaxing. Shirley is petite, but very strong and her massage techniques really helped to work out some serious knots and kinks that I had been storing up in my body. I know she is trained in a variety of massage techniques, but I requested a 90 minute, very deep one & she delivered. Not only was the massage phenomenal, but the additional touches of hot stones, as well as hot towels used to soothe & then remove oils as she finished each area, we're unexpected and contributed to the lovely experience. I will most definitely be back in the near future. Thank you Shirley!

But Jasmine talked me through every step, explaining what she was doing and helping me understand exactly where my body was holding tension and inflammation. It hurt--but in the best, most productive way. Now? I'm addicted. I try to go at least once a week. We're actively breaking down hard fat, draining puffiness, and targeting areas that really need support. She has an amazing sense for where your body needs help and adjusts accordingly. Adding the hot stones was a perfect, relaxing touch. After just one session, my face looked noticeably less puffy and I felt like I was glowing. Jasmine is absolutely amazing. While I'm hooked on the lymphatic massage, I already know I need to come back just to try a Swedish!

On my first visit, I worked with Amy, who did an incredible job addressing the specific issues I noted on the intake diagram (my right ankle and left shoulder). She was very professional and asked upfront if she should focus on those areas or avoid them. I told her she could 'go hard' if she wanted; while she didn't overdo it, she maintained the perfect amount of consistent pressure to provide real relief to my shoulder. My ankle is a bit of a trickier issue from rolling it, but the steady pressure she applied really helped alleviate the tension for a while. My second visit was with Eva (I believe that was her name), and she was equally amazing. Like Amy, she checked the diagram first to confirm my focus areas. It's clear the staff here is trained to actually listen to both the intake notes and the client, which is an A+ in my book. The experience has been so consistent that my friend and I decided to go all-in on the 10-massage package. We'll definitely be coming back again and again.

He'll diagnose the sources of your pain and will work along the path. Just cause you have pain in your shoulder doesn't mean you only just deep massage the shoulder, everything is connected so he'll also work on the other parts that lead to problems in the pain area. I was postpartum so he'd ask questions to understand how I held my baby so that he could identify which muscles I was straining -The sessions are not ones where you just relax and fall asleep, you'll work with him by breathing to shift the muscles around for him to access. -Some comments didn't like his light touch but I actually found that the massages where he did very light touch were very effective. I felt a difference and I was amazed. But there were also many sessions that were deep pressure too.

From the very start, there is a calming, warm environment. She Took me through a chart at the beginning and asks what issues, and discusses what level of treatment pressure I prefer and where, (which she modified/adjusted as the treatment progressed). She had me select the oils that she used for aromatherapy. Then, it was 90 minutes of the best massage I can ever remember!( she is very strong, but did not over do it) She also provided electrical stimulation and heat to my back where I have been having problems the last few years, and used some Chinese medicine that was at first very cold, then very hot after she finished my back. She gave me the full 90 minutes of massage too. I did not shower, but she did not slather on a bunch of oil, rather she used a cream that did not make me feel greasy, and after a hot towel rub down, I was ready to go back to work. I woke up today completely pain free for the first time in many months. I am rescheduling and plan to return for more of this. What a great surprise! read more

Review #012 - 2025…read more I've been seeing Claire every month since before COVID so I am extremely late in writing her this awesome review! Maybe I'm just being selfish because I don't want too many people to know about her and it'll be even harder for me to get an appointment. Claire is an expert in her field! She always makes me feel better after my massages. She listens to my concerns and addresses my sore spots! I definitely put her to work! So thankful that she has strong hands because I sit at my desk for hours on out and that causes a lot of knots and muscle tension! The funny thing is, we actually have so many fun conversations during my massage, that the time literally flies by. As soon as I leave, I am already looking forward to my next massage.

I waited a while for my initial dissatisfaction to pass before writing this review. I fully…read morerecognize the difficulty of running a business in the expensive Bay Area and respect that. I also really wanted to support a women-owned business. However, I also work hard for my money, and when I spend a good amount of it, take time off work to get issues addressed, and provide instructions, I do hope I'm listened to. That wasn't the case here, and I feel like Claire just went through her usual routine instead of focusing on the main area I identified prior to the session starting (significant pain in lower back tied to the quadratus lumborum, and my entire back in general was super tight). My latest back flareup lasted for two months and I needed some relief. I saw Claire bills herself as a medical massage place, so I booked a 90-min massage in the hopes that it would help and was really looking forward to it. Paid $255 (which included tip and CBD oil; I was desperate for pain relief). At this point, I'd to emphasize that Claire asked what areas I would like to focus on. I explained my back issue and said I'd like to focus most of the time on my back, with particular attention paid to my lower back. This was all before the session started. She also asked about modality preference. I said deep tissue. Pros: - The reception area was clean and welcoming, along with the massage room - There's plenty of parking in the lot - Claire seems to be really nice and has super strong hands *The not-positives* She spent 70% of the total time working on my traps. I do hold a lot of tension there, yes, but spending majority of time there was not what I was looking for. I had not mentioned my traps being an issue at all. Mid back? I just got what felt like a light back rub, maybe 5 min of what could be constituted as deep tissue. No relief there. Lower back? She barely touched it. She threw on a heating pad on that area and went to work on my legs instead. I asked if we could skip my legs and just focus on my back, and she assured me we have plenty of time to focus on my back. Then she finished with my legs and instructed me to flip over, and I was like wait, that's it?? I asked AGAIN that she work on my lower back a bit and she said ok, then spent maybe 10-15 min using a trigger point technique, which felt great...but again, she only spent that time on it AFTER I asked her, despite what I explained when I first arrived. She then had me flip over and started working on my traps and upper neck AGAIN, then started on the area where my lats would be (not sure what it's called). She told me it's a spot most therapists overlook and helps with lymphatic drainage. Fine, that's fair. In the end, I actually left worse than when I started. Had no relief anywhere I had asked for. Another massage therapist I had seen a month before who offers only 60-min massages spent more time on my back than Claire did. I won't be going back, and I honestly can't recommend Claire if you're looking for pain relief or mobility. It was a HUGE waste of my time and money, and I was worse off for it. Her approach is good for those looking for general relaxation but not pain relief.

Remarkably, the massage therapist was able to trigger-point my tension areas and relieve pressure in my hips, mid-back and lower back. I also enjoy back walking to delve deeper and really target the problem spots. The session was blended with firm pressure as well as a very relaxing, Swedish-style stress relief finish. I enjoy the environment because it is quiet and has a pleasant and inviting scent. The new team is warm, friendly, and very customer-focused. I appreciate good craftsmanship and the hard work that is required to be a good masseuse. As such, my gratuities are generous, and there are never any issues. Aroma, under new management, is now a completely different experience, which I encourage you to visit soon.

The space is always pristine, from the fresh linens to the calming atmosphere. While every provider is professional and skilled, Kelly is my go-to.

She has developed a deep understanding of my physiology and knows exactly what's needed to get my body back to 100% through incredibly deep tissue work and fascia manipulation.

However, it's a minor trade-off and very typical for similar boutique spas in the mid-peninsula.
