My face was glowing afterward and I felt so much lighter. Her booking is old school through text, phone, or email, but I actually like that. It fits her style. She keeps things personal and focuses on the treatment instead of tech. She also told me she limits how many clients she sees each day so she can give good pressure and not be worn out. She's skilled, thoughtful, and worth booking.

So I called at like 10:30pm on a Friday, expecting to get voicemail so that I can leave a message…read more Instead, Annie answers the phone! I ask if I can have an early morning appointment the next day, if she's available. She's like yes, what time? So I say 9am. I ask if I should come 15 minutes early like her website says, she says sure, 8:45, 8:30, whatever I like! Haha. So I get there at 8:45 the next morning, Saturday morn. As I'm going up the street to her location, she's standing outside on the sidewalk ready to let me in. The massage room is down some stairs, in a dimly lit place. She's hard to understand, but the instructions are basically to get naked and under the sheets, face down! She's a nice lady and made me feel comfortable. She asked me where I'm sore, so I pointed to my back and said my legs too! She started at my shoulders, and found knots in my neck, which I really appreciated! I've gotten a bunch of massages and I feel like the neck is often a neglected spot. The neck HURT haha but a good pain, and I knew I'd feel great later. She really worked this FULL BODY massage. From the shoulders and neck, she went down my back, did my BUTT - haha which also feels like a neglected spot when it comes to massages, did some hip action, went down the legs, did my FEET - also usually neglected!, then went back up for arms! Then I flipped around, chest side up, and she did more shoulder area massaging and then the head/scalp. The oil she uses feels/smells great too! She really has a knack for finding knots! I've gotten massages before and sometimes they just say, oh you're fine, and they don't even find the knots. She's really intense in working out the knots, and she warns you that this will hurt hahaha, just think good thoughts, THIS IS GOOD PAIN THIS IS GOOD PAIN, and you will get through it!! This was the most complete body massage and you really can't beat the price! $45 for 60 minutes, tip well people!

I had a great experiences with Silicon Valley Body Renewal. It's not often that I'll get massages…read moresince they're more of a special treat, but I had lovely experiences with Riya. She is a really positive and kind person who genuinely cares about her clients. She has a lot of strength and can tailor a really great massage experience; she is receptive and open to feedback if you want more or less focus on different areas. Definitely check out SVBR after they reopen after it's safe from COVID.

First of all, I want to say thank you to Ria for the wonderful experience and the surprise gift…read more Thank you! We have different experiences in massage. This experience was a birthday gift from my gf which is awesome! =] At first, we were so curious and in doubt on how the massage will go. Will it be worth it or something we'll regret. Things that pops in your mind whether they are really good or just a bunch of positive paid reviews. Or are they really professionals. As they introduce themselves and setup their massage equipments, they let you relax and fill up a form. Just in case something happens to us there is a contact person. And If you're taking any medications or have any complications. This is for their record and for them to be aware of your condition before the massage takes place. The equipment setup only took 15mins or even less. The massage experience was fantastic. You don't feel any body aches after the massage unlike other massages. Their hands are like waves. =] Their massage can be adjusted, how light or hard the massage. It's based on personal preference. All I can say is that they are very professional on what they do. I even hugged Ria and Gail after the session. LoL! I'm just being thankful and wanted to let them know that we appreciate their wonderful service. Thank you for the gift!

I'm not sure 5 stars is enough!! I agree with Michael B. and most of the others completely and I…read morealso don't know how to convey how amazing Gina is!! So I guess all I can do is share my experience and how Gina changed my life. I initially injured by back while playing volleyball in college about 8 years ago. I've been to multiple doctors, phyisical therapists, chiropractors, etc., yet none were able to clearly identify the source of the problem. Instead, I was given the typical western medicine treatment plan of pain killers and muscle relaxers to get through each season (if any of you were collegiate athletes, I'm sure you know what thats like!), along with the basic PT therapy (stim, strech, ice, repeat) 5 days a week. Not surprisingly, until I met with Gina, the problem never went away and the pain would still come and go - sometimes to the point that I was unable to walk. A couple weeks before our wedding last year, my back was beginning to act up, so my wonderful husband did some research and came across Gina and 3 Energies Massage. Although I was skeptical, as I have been to many massage places in need of back pain relief, my husband convinced me to give it one last try. All I can say is I am SO thankful I did!!! Gina did a preliminary assessment of my full body to identify problem areas. Combined with the questions she asked about my initial injury/problems, she was able to identify the source of the initial injury and a treatment plan....and it WORKED! when I walked in that day, I was unable to touch my toes, unable to bend or twist to my left, and in a moderate to high amount of pain. But after Gina's massage therapy, all of that changed. The best part was that it was a long lasting fix. Its been almost 12 months since I visited Gina and I have been almost entirely pain free with full range of motion. It has been lifechanging - I had accepted that I would just be in pain the rest of my life, but thankfully Gina has changed that. You may ask why I'm writing this now... well besides being a procrastinator... I managed to pull something in my back two days ago during a workout and I now know that I don't have to live with back pain - so I'm visiting Gina for another session :)

Mostly brought on by stress, I was so tight and wound up I couldn't turn my neck normally, and forget about moving my shoulders. I'd also experienced chest pain brought on by a spasming pectoral muscle that was continually aggravated at work and the gym. In several minutes she'd assessed problems I didn't realize were affecting me so adversely. This is corrective massage with trigger point release, not a froufrou massage. Gina did a fantastic job explaining what she was doing and why. Her communication about pressure and pain levels throughout was excellent. After the fastest 90 minutes of bliss/pain I walked out standing taller and was able to move my head and shoulders normally. I really didn't realize how bad everything was until it all felt normal again. My only complaint is that she's so good I'll be spending a lot more money on massage and bodywork this year :)

Massage Mission I…read morework in the Mission and I wanted to find a quality massage service in the area. Work can be stressful and a massage is definitely worth investing. After a few days of searching and actual leg work, I settled on Mission Massage. I bought the three 60-minute package because its a fantastic deal! After my first massage, I wish I had purchased the five package deal. The frontage is what I'm assuming is also a housing unit because it looks like a typical pitched roof house, but don't let that fool you. Inside is the massage room that dreams are made of -- a heated massage table, candles, incense, sound machine, and everything you would think 'calm' looks like. Since this is a small business, they are very flexible with scheduling massages. I scheduled a 6PM appointment. Overall, I highly recommend.

Why I decided it was a good idea to take on an intense new workout routine right before my vacation is beyond me. All I can say is that sometimes excitement impairs my judgement. Anyhow, I ended up with a very sore lower back and some minor pain from the impact of landing on concrete repeatedly for 30 minutes. I was DESPERATE for a massage and hoping that I'd be magically cured before I take off. After searching on Yelp in a panic for a same-day appointment after work that wasn't a cheap Asian/Thai massage but still reasonably priced, I was lucky enough to score an appointment with Chimene. Her reservation system online is very easy to use, and she responds to e-mails quickly. Chimene is AMAZING. She knows exactly where all of your pressure points are and will cater to whatever you feel your body needs the most attention. She worked the knots around my shoulders, neck, in between my shoulder blades, and me lower back like none other. She was also easy to talk to but respected the much needed silence that was needed for me to truly relax. I didn't feel pressured to carry on a conversation, which I really really appreciated. The massage room itself is dimly lit and cozy. The massage bed warms up, and I felt like I was in a comfortable, peaceful space. Sadly, Chimene informed that that she's going to be away in South America until March 2016, but I'll definitely be back again when she's back from her trip!

I've been seeing Thecla monthly for the past 10 years and her massages have helped me to heal my back and be free of pain.

To care for my spine long-term I get a monthly massage from Thecla. She's very knowledgable about muscle recovery and healing and makes recommendations for stretches or care tips for how I can continue to take care of myself after her massage sessions. Thecla is professional, caring, very talented, strong, and wonderful. Highly highly highly recommend.
