Jennifer Reed Massage

This was the best massage and spa experience I've had, hands down. Firstly, the owners are…read moreabsolutely lovely. They were so flexible, patience, and kind. The hot tub is incredible, but it is co-ed nude, which I don't mind, but be aware before you go (the owners do tell you that in advance). The massage was the crown jewel. Jacqueline (I'm unsure of how to spell her name) was INCREDIBLE. I love how she started off the massage letting me smell all of the essential oils she was going to use, and then her hands are MAGIC. She was the first therapist who told me that my left trap was tighter than my right and to sleep more on my right side, and paid so much attention to all the places I needed extra care instead of just doing the regular fare. I felt like I was in such good hands, and she gave me a hug right after Truly a transcendental experience, and I'm so sad I don't live closer so I'd be able to go every month. Once I do go up to Mendocino, they'll be my first stop!

Oh my goodness is the only way to begin this review…read more I was in Mendocino for a long weekend and decided I really needed a massage. Of course I did this very last minute (the day of) and I called around. Sue was able to get me in that evening for a 2 hour "Raindrop Therapy" massage. Her space is a charming little cottage off of the main strip in Mendocino. Both she and her space are absolutely delightful! Before we began we discussed my needs, likes, dislikes, what's going on in my life, etc. This helps her get a feel for me and what my body may need. Once the massage began, we talked a bit about oils and what some of them were doing for my body. She was very generous with the essential oils (which I love) and her time to really work on my body. The combination of her knowledge, firm touch understanding of a bodies needs, oils, warm towels and stones... so wonderful. The massage ended with a salt scrub on my feet, and the ringing of Tibetan singing bowls being chimed under the bed. When I came out of the room I was greeted with a delightful cup of herbal tea. I actually smelled a bit like a wonderful floral/herbal tea when I left. I let the oils stay on my skin all night so that they could work their "magic". I live down in Marin but am already thinking about planning another overnight visit to Mendocino just so I can get another one of these amazing massages.

What a magical experience I had at Jennifer Reed Massage. After an evasive thoracic surgery, I had a healing massage done by both Jennifer and a fellow masseuse she brought in. The environment is quaint and gave the feeling of Victorian/farmhouse while smelling nice and had relaxing music playing. All of my senses were pleased! I've never had a healing nor a dual massage before and it was spectacular. They took extreme care of my body, that was in fact in pain and only a month into healing. I felt heard both before the massage, where we established what I was to expect, and after the massage, where we broke down what took place. I felt safe, cared for, and relaxed during the entire experience. I was even met with tea and chocolate after my massage. This was such a beautiful experience that I will be taking my mom back for a couples massage. I highly recommend! read more

If you are considering a massage in Mendocino I would HIGHLY recommend you see Jennifer. She is really great, I came there a month ago in need of some real healing related to a number of deaths in my family back to back. While I was there I got 2 massages with her, and came back from the Bay Area a month later for more. Really healing, felt amazing, she is very thoughtful, caring an amazing person who give an amazing massage. She is truly gifted and gives very freely of her gift. I got the 1 1/2 hour massage but she always puts what you need first (want more time? less time?) I would agree with the other reviewers and say best massage ever. You will not regret seeing her, and who can beat the cup of tea and chocolate waiting for you at the end :) read more

I would like to reccommend Jennifer to anyone. I have been going to her for an injury I sustained last June. I started seeing her in Septemberand what I found was a very comfortable and safe place to allow emotions and real pain suffered come up and then be resolved. Jennifer is a very kind and skilled prcatitioner. Her use of essential oils is of great benefit and the hot rocks at the end is really relaxing. She listens to what I want and is able to deliver a very specific treatment to the areas I have needed. I always leave feeling well taken care of. read more

I am one of Jennifer's regulars. She is kind hearted and giving. Her massage style exudes this way of being in the world. I always feel refreshed and restored leaving her special massage studio. I had a considerable knot in my neck. Jennifer was able to move it out and on its way. I have had 2 back surgeries and I have some resulting scar tissue.

Doctors orders - I have poor circulation - getting a deep tissue massage is in part what the doctor ordered. I moved to Mendocino over 2 years ago and in need of someone who can do a proper "Deep Tissue" massage - and here she is.... I now see her every month - but not just for a massage she brings much of her holistic knowledge to the table and adds much more to a massage than just a massage. Thanks Jen!!!!
