I highly recommend her.

It's…read moretaken me a minute to write this review only because I am finally able to revisit my experience in my mind. I decided to try this massage place out because I read the great reviews. I feel like I owe it to my fellow massage lovers out there to share my experience. Long story short, my visit to Ya Ya Massage Spa was like a bad dream. My first impression of this place was the smell. I cant really describe with words, but it was disgusting. Next, was the room where my massage took place. It was eerie. It had a red glow from a light that had been sloppily painted red? Creepy. (See picture). I got undressed and soon realized there was nowhere to put my clothes because the hook on the door had someone else's shirt and some sort of negligee! Wtf! (See picture). I remember thinking to myself "what kind of place have I come to!" I thought about leaving then, and I should have. I'm too nice. After undressing, I realized there was nothing on the table to cover myself with and I wasn't given any instruction on what to use, so I found a towel in a basket and used that. The massage itself was mediocre and probably would have been considered fine if it weren't for the fact that the woman was playing an Asian pop song on her phone on REPEAT! I said something, but she just changed it to another pop song which then was on repeat. She also did a terrible job draping me--I felt completely exposed through the whole massage. The massage cost me $70 (I used a coupon on their website) and I still tipped because once again, I am too nice.

So when I slept on my neck wrong and just happened to be in this area for lunch, I searched and found Ya Ya! I called and asked if I could be in in two minutes cause I was right down the road and just needed a 30 minute neck and shoulder massage. The woman very politely said yes she was available, and literally within five minutes of the call! She was very strong intuitive and absolutely helped my body in a matter of 30 minutes! I can't tell you how many massages in Portland. I've been disappointed with not hard enough., rarely and only one session , but this was absolutely amazing & I really look forward to going back! Thank you Ya Ya! I will make sure to bring my husband next time. He will love your strength! Appreciate you!

My job requires that I hunch over people all day long, so my shoulders are very stiff and have always had a hump- like appearance at the base of my neck and shoulders going down to my back. I can't believe it but Valentines Work has actually flattened my shoulder/neck hump; after only 2 sessions!!! I sit taller and actually feel taller! It's AMAZING. She does trigger point massage that has also helped to align my hips and help with my flexibility. I can do more of the moves at my yoga class now..And to top it all off, I had injured my right arm and her trigger point and cupping techniques have almost eliminated all my pain! All I can say is go see Valentine! You will feel better instantly!!

This review is long overdue…read more I was lucky enough to be gifted a massage gift certificate to Puran PDX for an hour massage. Upon calling to make an appointment I was offered 2 options - traditional table massage or Thai massage. I had never had a Thai massage before meeting Jessica, but that is all I will get from here on out. Jessica is a phenomenal message therapist. Thai massage is like a combination of yoga, intense stretching & therapy, Jessica uses her whole body (and yours) to hit the highs, mediums & lows throughout all your major muscle groups. This can be a very intense type of body work that requires relaxation and release. Jessica is a wonderful conversationalist, which helps you take your mind off of the task at hand. Since finding my love of Thai massage I have graduated to 90 minute sessions. Intense, but amazing. I am addicted and visit Puran once a month to get my a$s kicked and my toxins flowing. Puran offers massage packages for those of us that have committed to this amazing journey. Puran has 2 locations. I choose to visit the Hawthorne practice which is quietly situated in the Herb Shoppe. This location offers both table & Thai massage. Well worth a visit!

Jenny of Structural Healing Massage is the BEST and I cannot recommend her highly enough…read more I started going to Jenny for massage back in 2019. She really helped with my range of motion and with pain I had been feeling from sitting at a desk for long hours. In 2020, the pandemic hit and I didn't see Jenny for 2 years. Fast forward to 2022 and I am back to being a regular client. Previously, my insurance covered massage, but I have different insurance now and it's not covered. That's fine. I will gladly pay out of pocket to go to Jenny. With regard to the actual massage, Jenny's touch is firm, but not hard, which I prefer, as tensing because of too hard pressure works against relaxation. Jenny really knows her anatomy and can focus in on specific muscles that may need attention. And Jenny's bedside manner is calm, peaceful, and attentive. Overall, she's great and I will continue to see her regularly.

I first found Brandy/Enhancing Health Massage via a Groupon deal back in June. I searched all over…read moreand couldn't find any reviews but decided to go for it anyway. The Groupon was for a 90 minute hot stone massage. Most hot stone massages are out of my price range so this made it accessible for me. I made my appointment immediately online. I am used to massages as I get work done regularly due to injuries I have from a car accident but nothing like this type of massage. I have been through many massage therapists and usually am less than impressed. I have someone I see for my deep tissue/trigger point therapy and now I have Brandy for relaxation. The website luckily gave good directions to the place which is located behind another business in a shared medical office building in Sellwood. There is usually street parking nearby. The waiting area is downstairs and the massage room is up in a little well-decorated room. She even has complimentary bottles of water which is great after a massage. I was new to hot stone massage and wasn't sure what I was in for but just really wanted something relaxing and warm. That's exactly what I got. Brandy uses a combination of massage strokes and hot stones to relax your muscles and mind. I was glad I went for the 90 minute massage because I did not want it to end. Her pressure was not too firm but not too light, either. There were also hot towels involved in my massage and it was just amazingly relaxing. I never treat myself to anything like this but just got back from my second visit with her and had to write a review. She was a little late getting to my appointment (it happens and I totally understand- I was running a little late myself) and made it up to me with some bonus massage time since I was her last client of the day. Her regular rates even without the Groupon are worth it. I have seen other hot stone massages going for much higher prices but have not bothered going elsewhere. I can't review her other types of massage as both of my appointments with her were for hot stone specifically. On top of everything, she is super nice, and offers multiple ways to contact her to set or change appointments, including text message which I really appreciate. Next time you feel stressed or sore, go see her. You won't regret it.
