Found Krista on Groupon and so glad I did! She gave me an absolutely amazing massage and has a nice space set up. Her directions to find her location were very helpful and lots of street parking out front. Her massage was so relaxing and she was able to really work on my muscles. I felt leaving so refreshed. read more

Exceptional massage and a great person.. very healing and delightful energy. Will be going back!

I have experienced massage from a number of different therapists over the years and Krista is by far the best. With over 20 years of experience as a licensed massage practitioner, she knows how to tune into what the body needs. I always leave her space feeling completely relaxed in body and mind. She does not talk your ear off during the session, allowing one to enter a deep meditative state. When feelings and old traumas arise in the body, she is a kind and compassionate listener. The table is heated and the sheets are fresh. The music is soft and relaxing. The space is private and has muted sunshine filtered through curtains in a south facing window. There is a bathroom down the hall. There are no unpleasant surprises, exactly what one would expect from a professional massage. read more

Kristal was amazing. She genuinely cares and does the best she can which is incredible! Facial was one of the best ones I've had in a very, very long time read more

so annoying! i had tried calling her for the past 2 weeks to book an appointment since i got gifted a coupon to her location. has not answered ONCE, i ended up driving all the way up to seattle to hopefully see her in person / book an appointment there & she's located in this scary looking building where they have ring you up to go up this elevator.. of course no answer through the phone box either ! wasted my time & my friends money for this useless place. don't recommend read more

dont waste Your time buying group on and trying to make appt. she does not respond! got a refund...

Let's start by asking: who the heck wants to have hair ripped from their groin at 7am? The logical answer would be, "no one," but I'm not no one, so here we go. I found Krista's spot on Groupon, and someone gave me a brazilian for a gift. Reviews were great, it wasn't too far from home or my route to work, and... WHAAAAAAT?! Appointments as early as 7am? For someone who works 4 jobs altogether, 7am is unfortunately when I have time for this kind of thing. I kind of fell in to this appointment slot because someone canceled; otherwise she was booked about 2 weeks out. She was super on point with texting and response time, and it really felt like as soon as she had the opening she let me know, because I was trying to get in last minute before this weekend. Street parking (which is what you use, not the parking lot) at 7am was not a problem at all. Krista was super friendly first thing in the morning - warm, welcoming, calming. I haven't been to an appointment like this in at least 2.5-3 years, and that was waxing... this is sugaring. First time for this! Nerves and jitters going in to the room, but then they just faded because she was so easy to be around. I will say that sugaring hurts a little bit more than waxing, in my opinion, but I personally didn't mind the pain at all. Also extremely bloody positive! Love it!! Who doesn't need a little pep talk when they're bottomless and vulnerable, spread eagle on a table? Thorough. Funny. Knowledgeable. Convenient early scheduling options. KIND. These are words I'll leave you with as I finish the review, because other details don't need to be discussed further. Ha! Highly recommend going to her. read more

An easy 5 stars for Krista's sugaring talent. I can't recommend going to her studio enough, especially if you love supporting small businesses. PLEASE don't purchase her Groupon. Just ask her to honor the price, so Groupon doesn't take commission from her. She has incredibly good energy, and she isn't pretentious at all. I wish I was physically closer to her (because Ubers/Lyfts can get expensive), but I love going to her. I really look forward to coming back every month! read more

I am sad it took me this long to find Krista! When I bought some brazillian waxes via Groupon, I didn't realize she was also an aesthetician and masseuse! That makes her entire vibe so different from other hair removal spas. I felt really comfortable in her space and found her incredibly warm and easy to talk to. She has a way of naturally easing you into the process, that you forget how much it hurts! Thank you for making an appointment work with my crazy schedule and also thank you for your scrub recommendation! I will definitely be back! read more

I loved my experience with Krista at her spa. I like that the fact that she uses only natural and organic products, and some are even local. I came in for a facial and she also did some massage. As soon as she started doing massage, I fully felt the hands of a professional. Krista is very knowledgeable, she gave some helpful tips on issues with my skin type and even sent me home with some sample products. And I'm definitely planning on going back to her another time! read more

Krista is incredibly talented at what she does for a living and at building authentic and meaningful human connection. I found Healing Roots through a Groupon for sugaring and although my Groupon is all used up, I'll be a regular client for the foreseeable future. I've truly enjoyed my experience and encourage anyone reading this to go here! read more

I went to healing roots for a facial, foot scrub and a massage. Krista was super friendly, warm and very knowledgeable. The facial was great and the massage was just amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be back very soon. I had an awesome experience and I'm very happy that I found this place! read more

Krista is amazing!!!! I get regular massages from her and have done so for over a year now. She is SOOOOOOO knowledgable about the body, I always leave my appointments feeling like putty! Her space is cute and very comfortable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and have referred friends to her many times. I LOVE LOVE LOVE KRISTA! read more

Want to find someone who can tune into your body and what ails you? Krysta is a talented and amazing massuse. She understands how to provide therapy that is focused on your body's needs. You come away relaxed and feeling much better. I have been going for many years and am still amazed at the various types of treatments and theraputic healing she provides to her many clients. read more

Krista is exceptionally good at what she does. I've had neck pain for years, and I've seen many different massage therapists with generally disappointing results. And then I stumbled on Krista's practice. Krista is very knowledgeable and skilled, and (perhaps most importantly) she manages to stay extremely present during the entirety of each massage. At no point do I sense that she's just going through the motions - she's constantly observing and responding to my body's specific needs that day. As other reviewers have mentioned, she's also just a lovely, smart, warm person. Highly recommended! read more

Krista did an amazing job of making me feel welcome and calm! I got a sugaring treatment that was a quick and relatively pain free (it is hair removal after all) experience. She was so knowledgeable and even helped me with a few ingrown hairs before I left. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to find a esthetician who really goes the extra mile. read more

Krista was recommended to me for sugaring, and I am so glad to have found her! I had only tried waxing my back before, and every time it left me bumpy and broken out. I've seen her a few times now for sugaring, and it is so much better than i could have imagined. It's a lot more comfortable than waxing (no heat or muslin strips), comes off clean, and i have had ZERO breakouts or irritation afterward. Not to mention she is fun and easy to talk to. If you are frustrated with waxing, you should definitely go see her and get sugared instead! read more

I've been suffering from neck pain and tight muscle spasms for a while and hadn't found a good masseuse that I felt I could keep going back to until I was referred to Krista. In one 60 min session she was able to help my neck and back out FAR BEYOND what I thought we'd be able to accomplish. She is very knowledgeable and respects your body. Easy to talk to and just a nice person to be around. For these reasons she has earned my recommendation. You will not regret going to see her. read more

Krista is an amazing massage therapist! I knew it from my first visit and have seen her regularly for several years since that day. If I had to use one word to describe her it would be intuitive. She listens to what you tell her is going on with you and her hands - and in my case, her elbows - listen to what your body tells her. She also isn't timid about getting to that deep tissue, if you are okay with it she will go for it. So many people are good at relaxation massage, but so few go deep even when you tell them to do so. That isn't to say I don't completely relax. Her space and spirit are so soothing that even when she is working hard on me I can drift off. I can't say enough about how truly special Krista and her talents are. I'll just wrap up by saying, if you are looking for just occasional massage or ongoing bodywork you couldn't find better than Healing Roots. read more

Krysta is in tune with the universe and with the body. Her healing practices and holistic view of health and practical healing will benefit anyone who receives her care and practicum. read more

My husband tried several massages over the past year and after one visit with Krista raved "I found the one. She's everything you want in a massage therapist." I had to try myself and now I understand what he means. Krista is warm, skilled and truly listens to what ails you before the massage even begins. As a mental health counselor I'm biased, but think this is the key to what makes the massage the very best. Do yourself a favor and meet the talented Krista! read more

Had the most amazing massage yesterday! Krista is a gifted healer and wonderful masseuse: warm, loving and intuitive. My whole body felt great afterwards, but it was the chronic neck and shoulder tightness that she was able to soften, that helped me tremendously. Slept like a baby last night! Her office is easy to get to, right of the West Seattle Bridge, and her space and music is calm, beautiful and relaxing. Highly recommend! read more
