Tiffany was excellent: I signed up for a massage at the last minute just looking for relaxation more than anything else, but after talking with Tiffany about my lifestyle and how is been feeling lately, I ended up getting a really nice, personalized, healing massage that I haven't found at the chain massage businesses I've visited in the past. Highly recommend! read more

Tiffany is a true gem in the world of massage therapy! With her extensive knowledge and array of techniques she has a gift for relieving pain and promoting relaxation. Her serene and calming environment coupled with her holistic approach to health and wellness, makes her a stand out in her field. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and caring massage therapist. Plus her line of organic skin care products is fantastic. You can find more about her work at: holistic hands.org - don't miss out on the opportunity to experience her exceptional care at a reasonable price. read more

Today I had a massage by Tiffany. She is very kind and gentle in her speech. She did a great massage on me addressing all the tender and knotted areas. She went above and beyond to do a great work on me. She satisfies the customer and takes pride in doing an excellent work. She has an excellent knowledge of the body's anatomy and knows how the body functions as a unit so she addressed my plantar fasciitis by massaging the lowerlimb higher up. I am so impressed with her skill and pray that more people would benefit from her skilled massage therapy. read more

Fantastic massage by Tiffany. I've been going here for several months now and could not be more satisfied. She is knowledgeable, a great listener and experienced. Looking forward to my next massage! read more

Thank you for such wonderful and relaxing sessions. Tiffany helped us celebrate 25 years of friendship by coming out to my house and doing a round of massages and facials... aaaaah so relaxing. She was so kind and professional. And my ... are her hands magical?!!! My skin is still thanking Tiffany for the brightening and tightening treatment. We love you. read more

Twenty dolla make ya holla.... I only pay 20 bucks for a massage here since it's covered through my work's health insurance. Neener neener...otherwise the prices are about the same, if not less then one of those pricey spas or hotels. So check your work insurance! The Rubdown: I've gone to Maryann a few times and she's pretty good. Being a massage therapist myself, I can tell she knows how to work out the tense spots and didn't try to stretch my limbs into funky positions like some other massage therapists. The Digs: It's not one of those spas where you lounge around in your fluffy robes with your girlfriends. But it's cozy, relaxing and does the job when you just need a simple massage or scrub. read more

This is one of my favorite massage place. They focus on holistic healing. Tiffany is awesome and my husband loves Rose. This is like our special treat place. We come for a massage and head over to dinner in Hillcrest afterwards. The space is very small and quaint. The staff is very attentive and kind. I have not had a bad experience. This time around we had the V-day couples special with the infrared sauna. They started us with almond champagne, chocolates and strawberries...YUM! We sat in the infrared sauna for 30 minutes to loosen up our muscles and we arrived in the room for our couples massage. Did I say how awesome Tiffany and Rose are? We will definitely come back. Hopefully more often than usual. read more

Tiffany is a magician. She knows exactly what I need, every time, to relax and feel revitalized. I wish I could go to her every single day! My husband, Alex, feels the same. She knows how to treat us both with so much love and care. read more

I've never had a professional massage before my Husband bought me a Groupon deal to Holistic Hands. I also have a major head and neck issues after having a craniotomy and laminectomy 6 years ago, so I was slightly nervous. However the entire experience, from entering the office to leaving, was an absolute pleasure. Tiffany was attentive not only to my body and what she was doing, but attentive in what made me comfortable with my issues, attentive to our conversations we had and attentive to when I was enjoying the silence. Her knowledge of the body and holistic items to help is awesome. I always thought getting naked for a stranger to touch me would be extremely awkward. That was not the case at all. I never once felt awkward or uncomfortable the entire 2 hours I was there. The time actually flew by! I WILL be returning to Holistic Hands as often as possible for all my relaxation needs. I walked out of the office smelling great, feeling wonderfully loose and refreshed, and I had a smile on my face the rest of the night. Thank you, Tiffany for your work and the compassion you show!!! read more

FREAKING AWESOME! Treat yourself to a $20 Tuesday massage. Schedule a nooner. It will make the rest of the day worth it. BONUS--make your coworkers jealous! read more

These people are so nice and clean. I would like to give them 5 stars, but I never feel like the massage is deep enough (I've had a few people, Rose, Marie Ann, and some others). Better than some, but nothing to die for. That said, they take insurance (if you are lucky enough to have it). And hey, a massage is almost always good, right? read more

I bought vouchers for massages through "Buy with Me," and had 3 wonderful massages with Oswell and Kim. My other vouchers expired, and when I contacted Tiffany Rivera to use my remaining vouchers as credit for what I spent, she told me" " I am sure you are aware you had 6 months to redeem your coupon and expiration dates are in place for a reason. In the State of CA, the law is that gift certificates and gift cards do not expire, Coupons do. I am contracted with therapists that do not go beyond expiration due to other promotions. I can only recommend you contact Buy With Me, the company that you paid for the coupons with; not Holistic Hands. We are not obligated after the expiration date to redeem any coupons." Buy with Me, then negotiated with her, but she stipulated I could not use more than 1 voucher at a time (even though I paid $35 for each voucher). Additionally, After I had my first massage, she offered to allow me to buy additional massages at $35 from her if I did not go through Buy with Me. I understand that this is business and she wants to earn money. I get it, but her response to me and her unwillingness to work with me made me angry and frustrated. This is not even good customer service. read more

A client of mine actually referred me to Holistic Hands. I went in for the Detoxifying Perfect Duo... "The perfect combination of our Mineral Rich Salt Scrub and Herbal Linen Inch Loss Body Wrap. This is the ultimate effective stagnant tissue release and toxin eliminator. This 90 minutes treatment deeply relaxes muscles, increases circulation, and releases toxins. Excess water is released and it makes your skin feel tight, fresh, and silky smooth." Tiffany helped me with this service...it was really intense but I came out of it feeling fantastic! I highly recommend HH! I like that it is a no frills spa where customer service is the #1 priority! read more

My husband and kids bought me a couple of BuyWithMe vouchers for this place in May and I finally got around to making the appointments. Firstly, I like that you are able to make your appoinment online and choose your therapist. This made it much easier for me since I sit in front of a computer most of the time when I am not with my family. I made my appointment with Tiffany. I scheduled a Friday afternoon and we were the only people there. Tiffany was immediately welcoming and professional. We had a quick interview to determine the areas she should focus on. The massage room was comfoortable and clean. The massage was very good. I prefer a deeper massage and I tend to have a lot of knotting in the muscles in my upper back. Tiffany was great at focusing on those areas that were clearly impacted with deep pressure and really paying attention to working out the tension. She asked pertinent questions as she got started, but was not overly talkative (I had a therapist at another business who spoke the whole time...not relaxing). When she was done, I would have been happy to stay there the rest of the afternoon. Overall, I was very pleased. I should mention, all I expected was a massage because that is all I had time for. If you are looking for a spa environment this is not the place. From what I saw, this was a massage studio plain and simple. For me, sometimes I just want a quick service, and sometimes I want a day spa. I have another appointment in the next couple of weeks and I am already looking forward to it. When I left, Tiffany mentioned that they accept most insurance. I am hoping they accept mine because I would be happy to continue going there every couple of months for a great massage. read more

I frequent Holistic Hands and find myself never wanting to go anywhere else for any body treatments! It is a combination of their training, warmth, and principals that keeps me coming back. They truly care about the body--YOUR body when you go in for a treatment. One of the things I like best about HH is that I don't feel like I am walking into a frilly spa where aesthetics are valued more so than the service. The environment is warm and down-to-earth, but the service is incredible. I've been a lot of places for body treatments in San Diego, but HH is the only place I go to consistently. read more

I've had a chronic issue with my left shoulder for the past 5 years. I've had X-Rays, CAT scans, MRIs. I've seen General Practitioners, Physios, Osteos, Chiropractors, Neurologists, Rheumatologists. No device or specialist could cure me. Then I was referred to Tiffany at Holistic Hands by a co-worker. Tiffany has done more for me after a handful of sessions than anyone, and my shoulder issue is close to resolution. She's passionate about her trade and about solving my issue, and she knows how to isolate and focus on a problem area. I highly recommend Holistic Hands! read more

I would like to share with the many guys out there how rewarding the Gentleman's Wellness offerings have proven to be for me. Tiffany's fabulous treatments have helped me regain confidence in my body by recognizing the positive affects of taking good care of my skin and body hair. Long a part of my health profile that was ignored if not a source of discomfort, her wholesome approach to recognizing my maleness has been wonderful. I not only feel more like a gentleman, but I am on the path to becoming a "distinguished gentleman!" And it feels good. Thank you Tiffany. read more

I received a 3 for $30 special 45 minute massage at Holistic Hands (salt scrub, deep tissue and hot stone massages). Tiffany - who I think is the owner - was UNBELIEVABLE!! Just the right amount of pressure, just the right amount of questions/silence and before I knew it, the time was up! I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to massages and I like the whole Resort/Spa atmosphere, complete with swimming pool, steam room, jacuzzi, lounge, etc. Obviously, this place isn't a hotel or resort. But the atmosphere is is very relaxing. I would def. recommend this place if you want a good massage! read more

This place rocks. Tiffany is great. Awesome location on Park Boulevard - a little gem you'd never know existed hidden in a generic office building. They do take insurance (hope you have massage included in your plan). I wish I had more cash flow in order to go here regularly. As it is now, I go when my back injury flares up. There is never any pressure to do more than what I want or need. The massage is top notch, Tiffany is great but others are good too. The massage rooms are serene, calm and peaceful. Holistic Hands is highly recommended! read more

Just completed my summer internship at Holistic Hands! Nothing but good vibes and an all around positive experience. Tiffany is an extremely hard and genuine worker, and really takes care of her clients by making sure that they are very relaxed and happy. I learned a lot from her and would recommend her services to all! Many thanks to Tiffany and everyone at Holistic Hands for such a wonderful few weeks! read more

My favorite place to get a massage so far in San Diego. Granted- it is no super spa, but it is definitely a great place to relax and get a get an affordable massage. Tiffany, the owner, is the best! read more

I have had a few massages and I wasn't pleased with this place. I got a gift certificate for my birthday for a massage and a facial. The facial lasted what felt like maybe 10 minutes. The massage wasn't too bad but not the best either. I feel that this place falsely advertised, the gift certificate came in the mail and I got a little background on the spa with it and it also noted that every client gets a robe and are able to go into the sauna. I didn't get any of that!!! If you go on their website it also states that. Instead it was just going into the room and getting under the covers. They told me the sauna was an addittional cost but not according to their website. If your looking for just a massage and not the experience it may not be so bad but my mom bought me this for my birthday and wanted the spa experience for me and it was far from and I was VERY, VERY disapointed!!! read more

This place is great! I have had shoulder pain for years and my doctor & chiropractor told me I basically need massages. Well I didn't want to pay for regular massages but the pain got worse and my Kaiser insurance accepts certain clinics... Holistic Hands happened to be the closest to me so I signed up. The place is no-frills which I like- I don't need to escape to zen fairly land, just need some serious work done on my back and they have definitely done it! The first session Alecia spent an hour doing deep tissue just on my shoulders and I couldn't believe how much better I felt after. I have been going back regularly to keep the pain gone and my shoulders get better each time. If you are just looking to relax and go to a fancy spa, this is not the place. But if you need massage therapy, they know what they are doing and will tailor the session to whatever area needs attention. read more

My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage. We got Orlando and MaryAnn(?- she was very tall). It was wonderful! We got a deal through buywithme.com for $99. They were both extremely knowledgeable and accommodating- we felt comfortable and at ease the entire time. The massages were perfect- not too rough and not too soft. They also used a lot of methods we'd never experienced before- such as awesome facial massages for example. read more

I am pretty picky about message, and am always looking for the message therapist that can 'put me in another world' for a while. Marie Ann at Holistic Hands is that person! Every time I get off of the table I wonder if I'm ok to drive-it's that powerful. She also gives really great advice; she helped me a lot when I had muscular problems when training for a race. She is the perfect balance between message for the body and message for the spirit. The atmosphere at Holistic Hands is also nice; upon walking in you feel calm immediatly. read more

Have been coming here for a number of years now and the massage by Tiffany is always amazing. She knows exactly what I need and even more. Her technique is gentle with a deep, effectiveness that targets and releases tension and knots without being painful. She has helped with so many issues that I have had over the years from injuries to migraines to hormone issues. I always feel like a million bucks afterward! The center is warm and cozy and has such a great energy to it. I am so glad to have Tiffany in my life and look forward to many more years of amazing therapy to come! read more

Tifanny was great! She listen and works/ focus on your issues. I feel relaxed after my treatment.

I've been getting my massages and infrared sauna's here. I am very pleased with the service that I receive. I can always count on leaving there content and feeling much better than when I got there. Marie Ann always ask me what is going with my body and where I would like for her target on. The staff is wonderful and yes it's clean and not smelly! read more

Best massage ever! great atmosphere. A must go to! My husband and I have a couples massage, felt like we were on vacation. Thank you to Tiffany. read more

Tiffany is a wonderful massage therapist. It is always a relaxing experience, both physically and mentally.

Tiffany Rivera helped me recover from whiplash when I was injured in a car accident a few years ago. She has wonderful knowledge of the entire body, the spine, and has a true healing touch. I continue to see Tiffany and recommend her to friends and family for simple continued good overall health, chronic and acute pain. You can ask Tiffany to check your insurance coverage and get a quote for your care. She is fantastic! read more

I have been going to Holistic Hands since 2005. The facility was small when I first saw Tiffany, expanded in space and number of therapists, and is now back to a much more intimate size. The larger facility was lovely, with a very nice area for lounging or spa parties, but the new space is much warmer, more intimate and quieter, being tucked away from the traffic of Park Blvd and the noise of the old upstairs neighbors. I have had treatment sessions with most of the therapists who have passed through in the last 6 years with consistently great service and results. A visit to Holistic Hands for a session with Tiffany is an every other week part of my stress control and health protection plan. Someone mentioned this not being the fancy spa you go to hang out with your buds for a full spa experience. True, in terms of space, but not true in terms of quality and variety of services offered. No, there are no pools here, and I must admit to missing the beautiful shower that was in the larger facility, but otherwise, if you want a service that you don't see listed on the menu when you book your appointment, speak with Tiffany. If you want a unique treatment package, she will design one for you. If you don't have insurance coverage for massage therapy, join their membership plan. You will receive free or discounted services that offset that small membership fee, so if you are a regular visitor, the membership is essentially free. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Apparently, I had been really stressed at work so an amazing coworker decided I needed a massage. He used his hard working cash to buy me a massage to this place. Yes, I was excited to pamper myself. I was a little concerned when I called and the lady was very confused about the "great price" he paid for what services he got for me. Umm, not my issue that the services don't match the prices. I should not have to feel bad nor should it be communicated to me if this was a professional place. On my vacation from work I scheduled my 2.5 hour massage just to be disappointed on all levels. I got there and they seemed to still be getting ready for me. When I went back to the room they forgot what I had ordered and had to put it together while I waited and waited. The foot massage was just in a bucket that did not fit my size 8 feet and was just water. Then they shorted me 45 minutes because of the great deal I kept hearing my coworker got. Horrible experience and I would not recommend it to anyone. I even had to completely rehydrate my feet because she scrubbed them so hard I had dry spots on them. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I took advantage of their Tuesday special and it was worth twice the price! The sauna is amazing and so nice to have it be a private space. And, Tiffany is a fantastic masseuse! I have had several massages and many have left me underwhelmed. But, Tiffany is by far one of the best! After a long night filing taxes, she made my day with her magical hands. :) read more

Sadly, Fidel lasted about as long as the one other great massage therapist who signed on briefly at Holistic Hands in the last year. The business is struggling to keep talented massage therapists, leaving only the folks who are fair to middling at best. read more

I've been going to Holistic Hands for over a year and still love it. The massage therapists are absolute professionals. They talk with you before the massage and during to make sure your experience is the best possible. You will not find a better massage at a better price. Enjoy! read more

I just can't thank Tiffany and her team enough for such a fantastic day! My friends are still talking about it. I had a summer pool party at my house with Holistic Hands providing mobile spa services for around 15 friends. Tiffany is a pleasure to work with. She is very thorough and accommodating to special requests. My home was transformed and had the true spa atmosphere. The massages and other spa services were amazing!!! I am looking forward to making this an annual event! read more

this place is divine. from the moment you walk thru the door - its obvious that holistic isnt just a word but a theme. Marie Ann asks questions before she begins body work and she accommodates accordingly. the best sign of a good massage (and masseuse) is if the massage feels like it went too fast. ive done 30, 60 and 90 minute massages and i still cant get enough. Mary Ann is also great about suggesting things that might help get the most out of the massage but not in a 'buy now and save' type of way, more a concerned healer way. Next time you are stressed go to holistic hands and let them ease the tension from your muscles. read more
