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.

It never feels rushed, and they genuinely seem to care about doing a good job. I always leave feeling relaxed and well taken care of. I'll definitely continue coming back and confidently recommend this place to friends. BTW I also love they run a lot of promotions, it definitely helps me save a bit each time I come in.

I was lucky to find this place, not knowing much about the local massage parlors. I have arthritis…read morein my hip and knee. A month ago I could hardly walk with the leg stiffness and pain. I am supposed to have the hip replaced in October. I decided to try a massage just to see if it would help me walk better. I went in for an hour massage and was lucky enough to get Lina. She concentrated on the knee and hip, as requested, but did the full body massage so I was totally relaxed. When she was finished my leg felt 100% better and my limp was almost gone. The results were amazing, so good I booked 90 minutes a week later. Once again, Lina did her magic and my hip and knee pain continued to decrease. My limp getting better and the aches at night diminishing. Today was my 4th time with Lina, this time 2 hours. I am walking without a limp and considering canceling the hip replacement surgery. Lina is a true professional. If you need/want a truly great massage do your self a favor and book 60-90 minutes with Lina. You'll be glad you did.

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.

I like this place because I can easily book if I call ahead an hour or two, walking in is hit or miss. I like that they use a lot of pressure.

I booked a 1-hour foot and body combo online for $55. When I arrived, the employee confirmed I was…read morethere for the combo, then immediately pointed to a price sheet saying the service was actually $73 with a credit card or $69 with cash. I considered leaving because the price didn't match what was advertised online, but I decided to treat myself and went through with the appointment anyway. Unfortunately, the massage itself was just average and didn't stand out. What really left a bad impression was what happened afterward. As I was checking out, the employee stood at the front asking about a tip. I was honestly surprised. I had already paid significantly more than the advertised online price, and now I was being asked to tip on top of that. Businesses need to honor the prices they advertise or clearly update them online before customers book. Charging one price online and another price when the customer arrives is frustrating and misleading. The experience wasn't worth what I ended up paying.

I had scheduled a reservation around closer to the evening, I definitely felt well cared for.

You get to pick the amount of pressure being applied. They really do listen and try to understand what works when working with you.

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.
