I've been going to Shu on and off for a couple years and she is amazing! I have gone to her for just a regular deep tissue massage, for my sciatica pain, and for a prenatal massage and she helps relive all the pain! Her pressure is perfect and she's super friendly and professional. The room is clean and the ambience is calm and relaxing. If you want a great massage with deep pressure, this is your place! read more

I was delighted meeting Shu for the first time! She had her own private room and it was cozy and private. You can tell from her energy that she loves the work that she does and she's here to bring so much light into this world! I love how she pressed in specific parts of my body and knows every place that was sore. She gave me great tips to take better care of my body, the most memorable tip was what she noticed my breathing pattern, and gave examples I need to take for better inhales since my breathing was shallow, which I never noticed! Will definitely be back when my body needs work again! read more

Love Shu! She knows what parts trigger my pain. Always feel so much better after seeing her.

She is a master of her craft. Every massage I've gotten from her has been absolutely amazing

Amazing, quality massage. She is wonderful at what she does and I always leave feeling refreshed.

Very sweet ladies and very professional. It is not my go to but it's a place I consider when I can't get into any other places for an appointment. Again, when I do go I am pleased and I tip very well. read more

Absolutely loved it definitely will be back. Highly recommend Shu she's is so sweet and super knowledgeable!!! Will recommend to all friends and family!!!! read more

I'm so happy I found an awesome masseuse near home! I've only seen Shu once; but I definitely plan to see her, again. This is not your typical spa-visit type of massage. Her work is very therapeutic and focused. Before she starts, she consults with you to see what you want to have her work on and she does a quick check. She'll explain things and discuss her findings before and throughout the massage. Shu knew exactly what to work on and I walked out of there relaxed, looser, and energized. Seriously, I've never walked out of a massage energized!! I am typically too relaxed and want to take a nap. Being energized is new to me. I felt like going for a jog (except for the fact that I'm lazy and drove to see her). Ok, seriously... my experience was different. I have my issues... tight shoulders, tight leg muscles and my visit can best be summarized as no pain, no gain! She worked the kinks out and there was a little pain; but that's what I liked about her. She was not afraid! She was confident and knew what she was doing. Her technique took me from pain, to relief, to let's go for a jog! Don't get me wrong, the visit was also relaxing. She didn't talk to me the entire time and there was a long stretch where things were just soothing. I highly recommend her. She communicates well, the massage is well balanced (and as others have stated, it's not a rub down), and she doesn't put you on a plan - like come see me every 2 weeks for 2 months - she simply recommends scheduling an appointment when you need it. So, there's no pressure. The location is casual, lots of parking, and the massage room was clean and comfy. read more

Healthyland Massage - call for an appt. open until 6pm. - Massage Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I started going to Shu close to 10 years ago and have started to go to her consistently (every 2 weeks) this past year. I went through a cancer diagnosis and got thrown into chemo-induced menopause. My appointments were aimed at one goal -- regular and consistent massage to get my lymph flowing and get all that toxic chemo garbage out of my system. After a few months of regular massages, I started to feel a lot better and my lab results showed my hormones were back on track. Bottom line: Shu knows her shit. She's been EXTENSIVELY trained in acupuncture and the energy lines of the body and the way she can read your body's energies and how she knows exactly where to pinpoint trouble areas blow my mind. I have trouble falling asleep on a daily basis and being on Shu's massage table knocks me out almost instantly. I would never go to anyone else. She is passionate about her career and her clients. She's professional, informative, sanitary, knowledgeable, and if I could give her more stars, I would! Also, they just moved to their new location and it is GORGEOUS! New address is: 4815 Laguna Park Drive read more

Where do I even start, Shu is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I am lucky I found her after another place cancelled on me while I was on my way back from surgery from FL. She worked her magic on my body and after 2 weeks of LDM, my swelling is completely gone, bruises gone, and my skin is loosen from the lipo. Overall she knows what she's doing and I would refer her to anyone doing cosmetic surgery. Shes awesome! read more

If you haven't had a massage from Shu, you're missing out! She's so knowledgeable and helpful and in tuned w yr body. She even gave me some tips to better myself w massage techniques! Her room was so beautiful w all her lovely paintings . Thank you so much for yr healing hands! read more

It's hard giving a five star to massage places but I'll say shu is super great. She massaged me during my pregnancy and postpartum. I love her massage techniques. And she does an excellent deep tissue massage. Her office and massage room is very small but she delivers an excellent service. Both my appointments were made on the same day and she accommodated me without any issue. Only issue with this place is noise and location. It's very noisy because people are always talking loudly outside. And it's located inside some offices. So people are loud and it does not feel like a massage place. read more

I have had the opportunity to have three massages by Shu since moving to Elk Grove. I scheduled my first appointment as my last massage had been over a year ago. The second one appointment was kind of a long overdue tune up. The second one was a result of severe lower back and hip pain likely a result from planting in my yard, moving pots, etc. And today was kind of a last minute need for some aches in my upper back. Shu's massage techniques are different from other massages I have received. Her massage style uses acupressure along with deep tissue massage. She has a great, firm touch and talks you through the deep tissue/tension to reduce the soreness as she works on areas. She is good about explaining not only her techniques but what and why she's working on an area, what the muscle group is and what its function is, when working on my spine she identified the vertebrae she was working on, if she noticed lumps or things that were unusual, etc. She also talked about health and well being, mental and physical health and spiritual well being. She listened to what I had to say at the onset of each appointment, the areas that were bothering me and then worked on those areas but also providing an overall GREAT massage. She explained what she was doing, why the pressure may seem really hard and reminded me to breath. She also talked about overall balance needed in our lives both mentally and physically as well as eating, things that make us happy, etc. I always walk out of these massages with a sense of overall balance, joy and well-being. Based upon today's appointment, my third, I think I will schedule appointments monthly in order to maintain this great balance, well-being feeling. I already have my appointment scheduled for August. I cannot say enough positive about Shu. She is truly a phenomenal healer, masseuse and I will highly recommend her and give her an outstanding reference. I am grateful to my cousins for passing along her name and information on to me. Shu is like no other! read more

This is not your typical Chinese foot massage place. Shu speaks English. She knows her stuff. She doesn't answer the phone in the middle of the massage. I was able to make a same day appointment and came here for the first time last week. The massage room is located inside a chiropractor's office but she doesn't work for them. The massage room is comfortable and clean but noise from the chiropractor's office can be heard. She checked out my body and talked to me about her analysis. She pinpointed exactly my chronic problems. I had a sciatica/lower back pain flare for a week. After my massage, the pain is gone. read more

I am so grateful to Shu. When I first had sx she really worked with my needs, seeing me when I needed. Now I just see her when I need a body pick me up. She knows about pressure points and is so amazing to work with. She listens to your body and knows about the lymphatic system. I am so happy to have her !!!! read more

Went to see Shu for some back problems I was having from a car accident. It was a bit out of the way for me, but I had an appointment in the area already, so I gave her a shot. My experience was good. She was polite and professional, and did a good job of listening to feedback as she worked on the problem area. She applied consistent pressure and tended to the problem areas well and used the alloted time efficiently. I have gone to other therapists that are really good at working on massaging areas that are indirectly connected to the problem area. Shu did a little of that, and sometimes she found spots, but she wasn't as good at it as others. Her work space is clean and comfortable. One thing to be aware of is that her space is not labeled at all. When I went, it was labeled as a chiropractor's office only. I had to call from outside to confirm I was at the right place while I was standing outside the office. The woman at the front desk was helpful and directed me to the right place, but it would have been helpful if Shu's scheduler (i think its her husband) gave some instructions or heads up about the office while we were on the phone. read more

I am always satisfied after getting a massage from Shu. She is a fantastic massage therapist! I have always received a symmetrical and even pressure throughout the whole massage. Definitely recommend! read more

Not even sure where to start! Almost don't want to let everyone know how good Shu is because then maybe she will get too busy and I won't be able to get an appointment. Very caring and informative. Shu gives great massages and took the time to explain everything the first time I went. Every time I have been, I have not left disappointed. Shu is awesome! read more

I would and do Recommend this place anyday for foot or full body massage good price clean and great atmosphere!!! Very professional. read more

All I can say is....why did I not know about this sooner!!??? This is not a normal reflexology massage therapist. Aka = a rub me down. I've had professional massages as well; however, I didn't want to drive 30 minutes to a spa, when we all know we just want to go home and sleep by the time we're done with our massage!! I just moved and needed to find a massage therapist in Elk Grove. My friend recommended me to go to Shu since her mom and dad highly recommended her. I called and booked a 90 minute massage on a Friday night. I didn't know what I was going to expect other than I needed my knots out and a normal $20- 60 reflexology was not going to cut it. When I walked up to the location, Shu greeted me and invited me into her office. I'm not sure if she's the only one that works there or if there's other therapists. Shu asked what problems I was having and I told her what was going on with my neck and back. The massage room was very clean and there was heating pads underneath the sheets which was a plus! Shu really listened to what I said and really got in there with my knots. Sure it hurt for a little bit but she relieved so much of the tension going on in my back/shoulders/neck, which was the cause of my headaches!! She also cracked my back which I've only gotten chiropractors to do to me or I do it myself. If you're looking for someone to get those stubborn knots out, this therapist will get them out for you!! I highly recommend Shu and will be definitely coming back as a regular! As a matter of fact, I text 5 of my closest friends to call Shu for an appointment because that's how good she is!! =D $80 for a 90 minute massage at such a reasonable price! You will not be disappointed! read more

I am always trying to find the perfect set of hands to soothe my tired body and Sue is simply amazing! She is always willing to accommodate my Friday evening requests and never makes feel like she has worked all day! What a treat to find this little Elk Grove jewel! One tip would be to cover me with more than just a hand towel......leaves me feeling a little exposed. Maybe I'm an old fashioned full sheet girl but with services this fab I may get over it! read more

Best massage I have ever had! Shu does not do the typical robotic massage with the same 15 motions. She takes the time to test you muscles, tension, and soreness. She also explains why you might have chronic pain or tension and recommend a course of action to fix it. I walked out of Healthyland feeling aligned and lighter as well as deeply relaxed. I was able to get a same day appointment and set up a next day appointment for my husband. Run don't walk here! If it hurts to run, she can and will fix it! read more

Went today as a Mother's Day gift from my husband and I am beyond ecstatic that I went today. Shu got me into complete bliss from the prenatal massage I received today! My whole body feels like jello. I don't want to go to anyone else! read more

This place is very relaxing and the staff is extremely courteous and professional. Their prices are reasonable and the services rendered are very well-done. I appreciate how clean everything is kept. The staff is very good about confirming appointments and letting you know if they are running behind or if they must make a modification in services rendered. I highly recommend Healthyland Spa. read more

I love Sue. She is the best massage therapist I have ever had. And I have seen her on & off for years. Her prices for body massage cannot be beat. $40 an hour! read more

This was the best massage I've experienced in my life. First off, this is one of those hidden gems that I'm glad I found. I called the day of and Shu was able to accommodate me. My back has been killing me for a couple months from working out and by the end of the massage, I felt so much better afterwards. She really cares and gives you her honest opinion. During the massage, she'll ask you about the amount of pressure she's putting on your back so let her know if it's too much or too little. It was such a wonderful experience. She welcomed me right when I entered and we got onto the massage right away. She's very experienced so let her know what the problem is and she'll work in that specific area. Awesome massage and I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been a client of Shu for 8 years. She has seen me through a lot over the years. My Mother,sister and daughter also have seen Shu. I have NEVER experienced anything but kindness, warmth, great energy, professionalism and her compassion for people, especially those in pain. If you are seeking a "fluffy" massage this is not the place to go. Shu's heart,mind, and hands are very intuitive when it comes pain . She can locate my painful areas without me saying a word. Working through tight muscles and knots is not always a lot of fun but as she makes them release , my chronic back, neck and shoulder pain eases. For me this is a blessing. I have dealt with these issues for many years and Shu is my medicine. I am sharing this with you because I happened across a very negative review about her as I was surfing around yelp. I felt that I should set the record straight. I have never seen Shu be angry or hurtful... I don't believe that it is in her nature. read more

I've been visiting Shu for many years. I'm a Home Inspector in the area and the crawlspaces really tear up my body. When ever I need a tune up I go see Shu. She relaxes me, gets all the kinks & knots out and puts me back together. I wish I had time to see her weekly. In 2015 I needed rotator repair. The Dr. said he would likely only be able to repair 2 tears. The other tear had too much atrophy. The night before my surgery I saw Shu. The next after noon when I woke up from surgery the Dr said he was able to fix all 3 tears...... Thank you Shu for helping me through all the rough patches and keeping me young enough to keep on working. I'll see you in 2019. Gary Osuna read more

I have been Shu customer for a long time and sometimes I try other massage therapist because I don't know when I am going to be in pain. So far Shu is one of my best. She understand where my pain is and she get all my knots out on my back. read more

Every massage here has been peaceful, relaxing, and just what I needed. My masseuse has always been pleasant and doesn't talk through the whole thing (a major plus- I came here to find my zen not blab about real housewives of who the hell cares!) The best part about this place is that they are MUCH cheaper than Massage Envy down the street, and they don't try to pressure you into a membership. Great place! Cheers! read more

This is basically a massage room in a chiropractor's clinic. That being said, Shu was amazing. If you're looking for a good, thorough, and personalized massage with no extra frills like charging extra for aromatherapy or fancy teas, this is the place to go. read more

I've been trying to convince my mom to get a massage for an ache that she's been enduring for some time. She is very shy and not inclined to spa or massage services. I live in a different state and Healthyland made it easy for me to make an appointment for my mom, and have everything paid for in advance. They took great care of her and she says her pain is already reduced. I can't wait to send her back and maybe even get my dad to go with her. Thank you so much Healthyland!!!! You guys are amazing! read more

Took my mom here because she's feeling a bit sick and aching. Picked her up and was happy that I took her here. From her experience Shu was very good and helped her unknot and relieved her tight shoulders. She came in all tense and tight and got out loosen up and happy. My mom even asked me to take her back here and again. read more

I visited Shu today for the first time. My husband and I tried many massage places in Elk Grove through the years, with no real great results, I stopped getting massages. While looking on-line, I found Healthyland and trusted the Yelp comments. I sent my husband to Shu first....when he returned, he said I HAD to go to her. Today was the best massage I've ever had in my life. Shu is awesome! I plan on going very frequently, as she has already made a difference in the loosening tight muscles and other issues. LOVE HER!! read more

I do not recommend Shu because I feel she is very unprofessional and because I am still having pain from that massage I received from her over year ago. "I feel that she took her anger out on my body." read more

Got an amazing full body massage in quite environment..Shu was amazing with just right amount of pressure, feel super relaxed. Definitely will be coming back !! read more

Shu is very professional masseuse, I look forward to go see her for my monthly massage. she knows what she is doing, a lot of experience and always accommodating to my needs. I won't go to any other masseuse although she is not close to my home. She is the best. read more

One of my coworkers recommended Healthyland Spa b/c of the masseuse and decent price and I am so glad that I took his advice! I made an appointment with Shu's husband and they were able to accommodate me at the time and day I requested. Shu is an amazing masseuse. When I receive massages at other places, the masseuse does not focus on my problematic area; however, Shu did the opposite. I choose the one hour massage for around $40. Before giving me a massage, she examined me and could feel how tense my shoulders and back were. I mentioned to her that this is my problematic area and would love for her to focus on just my shoulders and back. And guess what?! She listened to my request. She has powerful, strong hands and the amount of pressure was very relaxing and relieved my tension. If you do not like the amount of pressure, she always reminds you to let her know. Very sweet lady! read more

I've tried a few massage places now here in Elk Grove and finally found the most awesome massage therapist, Shu Chen! She is amazing. You will not have to deal with those pesty hard sales receptionists that completely ruin your massage and keep you from relaxing, and you will feel relaxed yet energized after Shu's massage. She not only listened to my main concern, which was the typical neck and shoulder pain but she found and massaged out other knots in my back which seemed to improve my posture. She worked out the knots rather than work on them for a little bit then tell me I need to come in every week or every couple of weeks to get the knots out like those chain massage stores only interested in reeling you in to get as much money as they can out of you. I highly recommend Shu at Healthyland Spa & Massage. It is appt. only but I did get in the same day I called. read more

if i could give this place 0, i would totally do that. they told us someone canceled our appointment!!!!! :(( then they didnt do anything to make it up to us!!!! outrageous and ridiculous... never go here!!!! please help yourselves and dont come here!!!!!! Staff are NOT professional!!! I don't know what these people are talking about, because they didn't make out session up to us. They were closed when we got there. read more
