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!

Long story short, Rachel is a great massage therapist. She creates a relaxing space just by her way…read moreand aura alone, and is attentive to client details. After a single visit, on coming back a month later, she somehow remembered a lot about me - that I practice brazilian jiujitsu, do regular soft tissue work at home, that I have family and business in Orange County. We chatted for at most 10 total minutes during my first visit. It's exactly this type of continuity that I was looking for in finding a massage therapist to go to more regularly. 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.

I had previously tried seeing chiropractors and undergoing acupuncture, but my condition showed no signs of improvement.

Lina is incredibly professional; she possesses an intuitive ability to accurately sense exactly what your body needs.

This was a clothed massage, but we rolled up our pants legs while our feet were in the bucket of water. Our massage therapists did an awesome job this past Saturday. The foot reflexology was effective, especially the slow pressure on the bottom of my feet. My masseur, David, followed the form I filled out beforehand, in which customers mark an X on parts of the body not wanting treatment and circle areas of desired focus. He brought so much relief to my shins and both upper and lower legs. And the pressure was hard, as I had requested, but not painful. He did good work on my back and shoulders too, with use of the forearms and elbows along with great technique. My bf was happy with his massage as well, which is a big deal since he's actually hard to please when it comes to massages. Our session was therapeutic and satisfying, with instrumental melodies playing in the background, adding to the pleasant atmosphere and experience. We paid in advance, and tipped afterward in cash. Staff was friendly and professional. They really were wonderful :)

I went in for a migraine and asked to just have massage on my neck, Jaw and head- so I left my bra on.

I had said I had a migraine and wanted quiet and he talked the whole time and I was very uncomfortable he was describing his girlfriend's bra tastes. It was also weird because the office is so isolated - it felt creepy and vulnerable when he spoke inappropriately. I would never go back.

On the way out, he points to the sign and said how much are you gonna tip me? Well, I was gonna tip him anything wrong price listed? Average body worker. I don't wanna insult him so I just put in $10. He's pointing to the sign. Yeah, I wonder if there really is a Betty working there or does he just take over? Not really that thrilled.!

I've experienced massages that were not enough pressure, and too much - but this fit right in the middle. The pressure was almost to the edge of what I could bear in places, mostly due to my tension and knots - but i'd certainly prefer being close to the edge than nowhere near it. Ultimately, i walked away feeling much looser than I arrived - and it was an ideal mix of Swedish & Thai that I didn't know I was wanting - but glad I got!

My nieces also reported that their practitioners were very good. For one of my nieces it was her first massage and she said she couldn't recall the last time she had been so relaxed.

The location is small but very nice inside. They have a lot of beauty products to test out that are available for purchase as well! My only complaint was the parking. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it took me about 20 mins to find a spot. I still had to walk five mins from a neighborhood to the spa. I would advise you to arrive as early as possible (I showed up 15 mins early) if you plan to come on a nice day during the weekend! I definitely want to check out their facial services.
