Before I'd reached the end of my first massage with Jennifer Michels, I knew I needed to book…read moreanother. She is talented and enthusiastic, balancing body knowledge with a soothing touch. She's also really fun to chat with. Jenn has a clear passion for the body and you will definitely feel it in her work on yours. I particularly enjoy her use of heat therapy on me: to release tension in my shoulders and upper back she uses steaming hot towels that seem to make my muscles melt. It's such a relaxing and wonderful experience. Jenn's been performing massage at Moonshadow for 13 years, and I can see why - the little studio in the back of the salon is such a sweet space. It seems perfectly suited to her and is a great place for a getaway (if only a 60 minute one). If you're looking for a spot of self care, book an hour with Jennifer Michels.

Jennifer is AMAZING. I've only had the pleasure of a massage from her 1x and it's enough for me to…read morepraise her. She really did a number on my back but in a good way! I walked out a bit sore, as expected, but after a few days I could really tell a difference. I am a loyal patron of Moonshadow Salon (where Jen works) and every time I get my hair done, my fiancé gets a massage from Jen. She always eases his tense muscles and knots. Her prices are reasonable - $45 for 30 mins and $70 for 60 mins. If you're looking for a masseuse who truly knows her craft then look no further. We live 30 mins from the salon and it's worth the drive.

Megan gave me an amazing massage yesterday! She was thorough with discussing my preferences and was…read moreattentive and insightful to my many prior injuries. She helped me with breathwork while doing the massage, which really helped as I didn't realize how shallow I've been breathing lately and it helped me relax deeper into the massage. She has a very calming, kind, non-judgmental aura about her. The room was clean and comfortable and she checked in on me throughout the massage to make sure my temperature etc was comfortable which I really appreciate. I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer and highly recommend her.

Look no further, I have found the best. I had gotten monthly massages up until 8 years ago when…read moreosteoporosis hit and I suffered 5 vertebrae fractures. Its taken me this long to find someone I would trust as much as my last massage therapist, who has since retired. I was looking for someone who would be gentle on my 73 year old bones and hit the jackpot with Megan. She is beyond caring to her clients, really takes and interest on what is going on with your body and applies the perfect touch to the areas that are vulnerable. I feel like I've been on a beach vacation when I walk out of her office. She has a new monthly client in me. She also has gift certificates online, which would be a great Father's Day gift for the men in our lives.

Amanda is the finest massage therapist I've had the pleasure of meeting. I picked up her card at an…read moreevent she was volunteering at and figured I'd give it a go. Online booking was a cinch. Amanda's demeanor is warm and endearing. Her office / massage studio is in a convenient location and is an inviting and relaxing space. She's respectful of silence during sessions but has also proven to be a compassionate listener and a friendly conversation partner. She's extremely attentive to feedback of all kinds, including feedback that I didn't even realize I was giving. The slightest twitch, shrug, gesture or sigh is fluently interpreted into an ever-adapting massage experience. During my last session I asked Amanda what kinds of feedback she receives during massage. Without exaggeration, I can honestly say that what followed was easily the most mellifluous prose I've ever heard describing the empathetic interpretation of body language. She's truly gifted. I've mostly asked for relaxation/swedish style massage but have also received excellent massages for sore muscles/achy back/shoulder/neck. If you're looking for a comforting massage for relaxation or muscle aches, this is the place to go. I'm sure she's probably great with other modalities as well, but these are the only ones I can speak to. I almost didn't want to write this review because all of you other Yelpers might take up my future appointment slots, but ultimately decided that this is a small business I couldn't help but support. No need to look elsewhere. Just book an appointment.

As a active individual who loves to hike and be outdoors massage has always been a big part of my…read morelife. My shoulders and hips often feel tight and sore and immediately after a massage from Amanda I felt looser and stronger. Not only was it a great massage it was a great experience from end to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a deep tissue massage.

She makes your massage comfortable, relaxing, and communicates well with you to work on what you need. I will be visiting Janey regularly to keep me relaxed, and healthy.

Jane is great! i texted her sunday evening telling her I was in need of a massage soon and she got…read moreme in Monday night. She addressed all of the muscular tensions I was feeling, sore neck, tight right pec, tight rotator cuff muscles, sore hamstrings and the list continues. She has an intuitive touch, her hands follow the muscles and stop where there is restriction, manipulate the tissues to gently open and release and then carry on in a fluid rhythm until they come across another area of tension where she patiently moves with the muscle until it softens. She listens both with her ears, her hands and her heart as cheesy as that might sound, it's something to highly value in a massage therapist, someone who cares and is listening from a deep place inside of themselves. =) Danielle

I saw a different massage therapist a couple of weeks ago but still had tightness and pain. It was very easy to book an appointment, even at short notice. After just one visit with Caity I am feeling so much better, she also gave me some insight on exercises that I can do to reduce the chance of a persistent issue. The studio was very clean and comfortable. Caity was carefull to make sure that I was comfortable and was very understanding. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

This was my first massage in over a year. I, like others, held off any massages due to the…read morepandemic. Although I am fully vaccinated I am still super careful about any kind of in-person interactions, so I asked for a massage recommendation and Jennifer was referred to me by one of my best friends. I felt so safe throughout the massage and ended up having one of the best massages. I was bummed I only booked 60 minutes but made sure to book a longer one for next time. Jennifer asked great questions to ensure she focused on any problem areas and checked in with me to make sure she was applying the right pressure. And the cherry on top? Not having to frantically look for parking because there is a small adjacent lot! If you're looking for a local massage look no further!

I began seeing Christina over two years ago after suffering from whiplash... I can honestly say…read morethat she has saved my life. I went from neck pain while cooking to enjoying full mobility in turning my head. I went from back pain at work to dancing around with customers. I went from worrying about hikes with my friends to beating them up the hills! Christina is friendly and professional. She's a family woman who really knows her stuff as far as human anatomy and muscular attachments, movements, etc. I can't speak highly enough of her service and there's no one I trust more with my body. Next time you've got aches and pains, go see her - you will not regret it!

Christina is the best masseuse I have been to. Although I have never had a "bad" massage,…read moreChristina's massages have actually helped me regain mobility, improved my flexibility, and eliminated pain. Having chronic neck, shoulder, upper back, and sciatica pain, I have sought relief from anti-inflammatory pain killers, countless massage therapists, physical therapy, muscle relaxers, and other methods, none of which provided the relief I get after a session with Christina. It is evident that she has knowledge of the anatomy and muscle structure of the body, and she has a very intuitive touch. For example, when I tell her that I have pain "around my shoulder blade," she is able to focus on the spot that is troubling me without any further input from me. I have benefited so much from my massages by Christina that I have referred several friends and even my currently pregnant wife. My wife shares my opinion about Christina as a massage therapist and she no longer visits the local Walnut Creek spas (Woodhouse, Changes, Park Hotel) as she says receives better quality treatment from Christina. Christina is a very nice person and she is extremely good at giving therapeutic massages (which are also very relaxing as I often find myself drifting to sleep while receiving a massage from her). Her office has ample parking, she is very quick to reply to appointment requests, she accepts Square payments, her massage office is very clean, her massage table very comfortable, and the lotions she uses leave my skin very soft. I highly recommend a massage with Christina.
