In fact you can go through the parking lot and out the side/back and see the gym from that angle much better. I walked in and you have to walk through a gym area with no representatives to even get to the front desk. At the front desk there were 3-4 guys all in the middle of conversation and so being acknowledged took a bit longer than it should have. I felt like more of a burden then a welcomed new potential longtime client. I was instructed to fill out their waiver form, which is what I arrived early for with a pen ready. No pen required it's all electronic and they are set up pretty high so if you were on the shorter side you might have some problems. They do NOT have paper versions of this waiver. Also once you submit you do not get a copy of the waiver, even if you ask for one. I think that's pretty crappy in this day and age why would you not offer a copy of a legal document to the person completing it if they asked??? I was here from a GroupOn for a massage with Sonja. She greeted me while I was in the midst of my frustration with their waiver process... she stayed pleasant though! After all the paperwork was completed I properly introduced myself to Sonja and followed her to the massage room. It's private and locked.. has its own bathroom which is nice and clean. The table is a standard massage table - not electric - so it doesn't raise and lower for the comfort of the massage therapist or the client. There's music played through Sonja's iphone and it helps drown out some of the gym noise... but apparently there is a workout area directly above the massage room and they get pretty loud. Sonja is a wonderful massage therapist. Took the time to really ask questions and answer all given questions. She's very very welcoming and great at deep tissue massage! I would give Sonja a 4/5 but the experience in it's entirety and location and such drops this down to a 2/5. Unfortunately due to my experiences with the front desk, lack of legal documentation upon request, and the noise level.. I will not be returning. I wonder if Sonja has a private practice on the side and more reasonable pricing going through her directly!?!

Christina's massages are amazing. She really understands the human body in a way that allows her to…read moreobserve what yours is doing, how things are connecting, what's hurting you, and then zero in on what she needs to do to help you. And then her hands and her technique are so strong. The massages are not for the faint of heart, though. If you just want to relax and have someone rub your back, this may not be the massage for you. But if you're like me and need help breaking up scar tissues, releasing knots, or regaining range of motion in a certain area, it's amazing. It hurts so good. In one session Christina helped me really release my rhomboids and spinal erectors.

I've been dealing with some pretty intense sciatic pain the last month and was desperate to get…read morehelp so decided to start looking for a Chiropractor. Today I got an appointment with the amazing Karen Kartch DC. After gently but firmly getting me "unstuck", she was able to stop the shooting pain and numbness going down my leg to a great degree. It's been several years since I've seen a Chiropractor, but I was seriously blown away at her medical intuitiveness and the effectiveness of the treatment. And of course I made another appointment for next week because I truly believe this course of action is going to really benefit me. If your in the SF Bay Area, I highly recommend her.

I was referred to her by a friend in 2020 after dealing with chronic dizziness and back pain for over 6 months and my KP doctor couldn't diagnose the problem. Once I started seeing Dr. Kartch, she could feel my C2 and surrounding vertebra were out of alignment. After a number of visits, the dizziness and pain finally started to subside. I wouldn't be here healthy if it wasn't for her. She gave me strengthening exercises to help maintain my neck health. Dr. Kartch is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. She's warm, compassionate, optimistic and genuine. I loved our conversations every time I visited, it's like talking to a friend and her encouragement was incredibly beneficial for me. I recently moved and will miss her so much. Thankfully she had a referral for me to contact in my new location. I trust her completely. If you need a chiropractor or nutritionist, go see Dr. Kartch!!

I started working with Anya a year ago, after being diagnosed with a pelvic floor injury. A…read morespecialist recommended her to help with my recovery. Anya worked through the healing process with me, complementing the work I did with a PT, and helped me rebuild a core that I had neglected for ten years, after having two kids. She taught me breathing and stretching techniques that were instrumental in my healing. In addition to a pelvic floor injury, I had diastasis recti, and Anya was knowledgeable about how to avoid worsening that condition while strengthening my core and helping me get to know my body again. Months after being healed, I continue to see Anya 1:1 on a weekly basis, because the physical strength, better posture, body awareness, and increased confidence I have gained in our sessions has been truly life-changing. She is trained in pilates, yoga, and massage and is incredibly insightful about the particular areas in which her clients need support and coaching. Pilates is nit-picky, but Anya has a patient, kind, and warm approach to building strength and personal confidence. Working with Anya has been the best gift I've given myself in years. I encourage anyone I know with pelvic floor issues, or any mom looking to get back in touch with her body, to work with Anya. She's brilliant, knowledgeable, and beyond that, she's genuinely one of my favorite people.

Between a busy work schedule, having a baby, and being a stay-at-home parent, it has been easy to have an excuse not to exercise. Pregnancy and labor also left me with diastasic recti, (a separation of the abdominal muscles), so I was afraid to do any exercise that might exacerbate the injury. My goals in working with Anya was to incorporate exercise back into my life again, learn how to work with my injury, and gain the confidence and skills I needed to attend group exercise classes. Anya is a very intuitive and attuned practitioner, who prioritizes her client's comfort and proper form, while also providing exercises that are challenging and dynamic. During our lessons, she checks in with me about how I'm feeling when doing certain exercises, and makes suggestions to help me prevent discomfort and engage the correct muscle groups. Beyond being a wonderful teacher, Anya is a lovely, kind person whose company I really enjoy. No matter how frazzled or stressed I may be feeling when I arrive, I leave each class feeling more energized and joyful :)

I just had my first consultation and adjustment from her and I am impressed…read more She is very kind and thorough. She asked tons of great questions that made me think about my body. Before she did the adjustments she worked on the muscles. I really liked that a lot because the adjustments felt just right. This was my first visit and was about an hour long. I can tell she has lots of experience because she knew where my issues are. The adjustments she did were worth every penny. If you have troubles with your shoulder and neck, like I do, I would absolutely tell you to give yourself a chance and go to her. I am looking forward to my next visit. PS The parking in front of the building were 15 minutes only? So I had to drive around and parked on the corner Bank of America about half a block front the office. I guess there was more parking around but I was late for my appointment so I did not have time to investigate. I will post an update about the parking situation after my next appointment.

First of all, thank Joie (pronounced like Joey) for giving me such an awesome massage yesterday. I…read morehad been feeling less than 100% the past couple of weeks but when I woke up this morning I felt awesome! I can see how this sort of thing might become addictive. Joie really cares about who you are and helping you. She has an excellent bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable. There was a bowl of freshly-picked flowers on the floor to look at while your face is in the headrest, which I thought was a nice touch. As she worked, she kept checking in to make sure it was enough pressure, etc. The massage itself was excellent, 90 minutes of pure loveliness. You can tell she really loves her job and enjoys connecting with people. In addition to being a terrific masseuse, Joie is a "Somatic Educator" meaning she teaches you things about your body that help you keep those kinks out *all* the time, not just after a massage. This is an extremely useful and underrated benefit that you don't really know to value until you've done it. I worked with a Somatic Educator after RSI nearly crippled me and learned things that not only allowed me to keep pounding the keyboards 14 hours a day at the time (yes I know this is stupid, but it was one of those situations where I didn't have any other choice) but has allowed me to remain RSI-free for almost 10 years now.

I have found a new me after our sessions. I am an International Latin and Ballroom competitor and like any dancer I am very aware of my physical body. I was in a dangerous continuous cycle of score and or injured muscles then I would get a massage, then right back to sore and or injured muscles. When I found Joie I discovered that she teaches how to train one's body to heal itself. I was amazed that in the first session with Joie I learned more about myself and my overall body consciousness then in any other massage session. Her teaching of conscious integrative bodywork is astonishing and guaranteed for wanting to learn more. Her energy is comforting and wholesome. Joie creates a healing environment for you and is very connected to where your body, your mind and your overall self are at in the session. You leave this wonderful environment with a new understanding of alignment and able to keep with you what you have learned because you are conscious. I am continually thinking of what she says about my breath and alignment when I dance and each time I have a session I learn something new that I take with me as a dancer and human being. Thank you Joie and, much love.

She has created a safe space where I can let my defenses down and really feel what I'm feeling so that I can truly heal: physically, mentally, and emotionally. This is NOT your average chiropractic adjustment. Dr. Courtney is also very knowledgable and has helped me to understand how my life experiences impact my body. I have been under her care intermittently for the last year (my schedule is erratic so I'm not consistent) and everytime I leave I feel more empowered and in tune with my body.
