A big room for the massages separated by cloth. Well appointed inside with Thai music that is soothing. The 60 min deep tissue was too short so I recommend d the 90' min. They are very efficient with the check in because every client fills out a chart and can circle areas to focus on and x out areas to avoid. You also mark the duration, type of massage, and how strong you want the pressure. I've been pleasantly surprised by how good the massages are. Clean, efficient, and effective. Will be back .. only wish the parking was easier to find and they had some specials or discounts .

My partner and I booked massages in advance and were placed in separate private rooms when we…read morearrived. The place was clean and simple, no fancy decor but inviting enough with dim lighting and gentle melodies playing in the background. Beware, you can hear through the walls -- cars honking outside, staff chatter (in Chinese) in the lobby and shared space with massage lounge seating, even my boyfriend's snoring in the room next to mine during our sessions. We got the combination massage (30 minutes foot/30 minutes body), and my experience was positive. Pressure wasn't consistent during the entire treatment, but for the most part it was on the deeper side and effective. The first half focused mainly on the back, plus neck, shoulders, and arms, as well as a bit of the legs. The second half, my masseur asked me to "turn over" as he left the room briefly. He meant not only to flip over to lie on my back but also to change positions so that my head would be at the foot of the bed. From there, he did a very detailed job on my legs, feet, and each individual toe, borderline painful but overall good. We paid upfront before our services, including a credit card fee (2.50 per massage). Afterward, we gave a cash tip. They have a sign at the front asking for $20 (with very friendly language), which is the typical amount we tip anyway. The staff was incredibly kind and professional, so I have no complaints.

I would not recommend this place…read more The experience started off strange but bearable when they required us to pay for the massage and tip before receiving any services. They asked if I was comfortable with a male massage therapist, and I said yes. However, the therapist appeared extremely nervous and was shaking throughout the massage. He was unable to apply much pressure, making the massage ineffective and uncomfortable. I paid for a full-body massage, but only the back side of my body was massaged. The front was completely skipped. When I asked why, I was told the therapist wasn't sure whether it would be appropriate. That explanation made no sense to me, especially since I had already agreed to having a male therapist. If you're advertising a full-body massage, customers should receive a full-body massage. What made the experience even worse was how my friend was treated. After her service was finished, she was told to wait outside in the cold while I was still receiving mine. The area is not the safest, and I found it incredibly unprofessional to ask a paying customer to stand outside and wait. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing massage experiences I've had. Poor service, poor communication, and not the service that was advertised. I will not be returning.

I thought there were very few things left in this world that could be considered extraordinary that I had not experienced. I recently had the pleasure of having a massage session with Jacqueline. I walked into her heavenly ,home with doubts. It was quaint nicely ,designed and very relaxing. Jacqueline's Massage was beyond any words that I could articulate. I felt as if the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders. This was a life changing experience. My eyes are now open and The massages I had in places like the Seychelle Islands, Phucket Thailand, Peru, or Margarita Venezuela could not possible compare. Jacqueline is strong, caring, passionate and beautiful inside and out. Thank you for introducing me to the best massage I have ever had. Kevin read more

The service that is provided here is second to none. I have been treated at different locations locally as well in different countries and none have topped the personalized service that I have received at Jacqueline's. The fruit, wine ,and cheese that you receive when you arrive is a special touch that you do not get many, if any places. Jacqueline herself will sit and visit with you prior to your treatment. During this time she will take time to see what your physical as well as your mental needs are and see how she can address those needs through massage therapy. This is a place that I will recomend to any one who is under stress, whether mentally or physically, to ease mind and body. Excellence is the standard read more

I would definitely recommend booking a couple's massage with Jacqueline. The atmosphere is very elegant yet cozy and includes a fire place. But before even getting to the massage table, you are invited to sit in massage chairs, given refreshments and started off with a wonderful foot massage. And then the massage...Jacqueline has magic hands. It feels like she is massaging you with 3 hands not 2. I don't know how she does it but guaranteed this will be one of the best massages you will get. For couples, this is a great idea for an anniversary or any other day you want a wonderful romantic treat. read more

Why choose Rachel?…read more Massage therapy should be a holistic experience that benefits both the mind and body. While massage helps promote relaxation and the release of endorphins, that experience can be diminished if the therapist appears disengaged or unhappy in their work. Whether you prefer conversation or silence, feeling comfortable and cared for is essential. Rachel consistently provides that experience through her warm personality, professionalism, intelligence, and genuine care for her clients. I specifically asked her to address my chronic shoulder pain, and she was able to identify and work on the muscles that were triggering my symptoms. The treatment was targeted, effective, and left me feeling significantly better. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I understand the importance of patient experience and quality care. It's easy to see why people appreciate Rachel's work ethic and the positive environment she creates. Good vibes overall. Thank you, Rachel!

Berkeley has a few great Thai massage places but therapists rarely speak English and they never seem to honor the specific therapist you book. I was looking for someone who will retain information on what I like and what my muscles need, and Rachel is exactly that kind of massage therapist.

The minute we walked in, we were greeted at the front desk, and check-in was quick and easy since our appointments were already booked. We were taken down the hallway to sauna 7, where we spent the next hour in a private Jacuzzi. The room was nicely set up, the water temperature was perfectly warm, and everything was extremely clean and smelled fresh. I was a little nervous about the cleanliness beforehand, but this was so much better than being in some communal Jacuzzi or at someone's apartment. You're able to change into your bathing suit once you're inside the room. After about an hour, we were able to shower right there in the same private room before heading upstairs for our spa treatments. I started with a facial, which was amazing. It was my very first facial, and I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. I also did a hand treatment where they dipped my hands in warm wax, and afterward my hands felt as smooth as a baby's bottom! Lastly, I had a massage, and it was both relaxing and effective. I seriously felt like I could have fallen asleep right there in the masseuse's hands. Overall, I loved the entire experience. I've never been somewhere where I could relax in a private Jacuzzi for an hour, shower, get multiple spa treatments, and leave feeling completely refreshed and energized for the week ahead. I'll definitely be back. It was absolutely worth the trip over the bridge, and a big shout-out to everyone who works here for doing such an awesome job!
