My body started to relax immediately when she started treating me with acupuncture, and I was in a blissful daze for hours after!!! Booking my appointment online was a breeze as well. I plan to incorporate her tips and see where it goes. It feels great to feel seen by someone with such specialized knowledge. It's not just the high quality of the acupuncture itself but the mindset she's putting me in, with practical advices (food, types of movement, even how to frame the whole health thing for me...), that make it worth the trip for me. Can't wait to go back again!

I've been going to Luminae to see Ivy for acupuncture therapy with both my pregnancies and really…read moreloved the calm and clear energy of the space she provides. I went again recently after the birth of my daughter to invest in a little self care with a womb massage from Bianca and it was amazing! Bianca took the time to hear my concerns beforehand and evaluate the current state of my body. The womb massage felt so nurturing and relaxing - so much so that I woke myself from my own snoring! I told Bianca that that rarely happens and speaks to the power of her healing hands which just melted away tension and gave my body the attention it needed postpartum. I highly recommend Luminae and the awesome team of strong, nurturing, and empowering team of women that provide such thoughtful care. I'm looking forward to booking a deep tissue massage next!

Receiving Eugenia's unique bodywork is one of the most precious, potent, and powerful pieces of my…read morehealing journey. I met Eugenia before I received her medicine and have felt so moved and inspired by her very being, as a friend, dancer, ally, mentor, and intuitive guide. I was so excited to receive her healing work on the table and I was profoundly pleased by the offering of her heart and hands. She is more than a massage therapist. Eugenia is a tender, intentional, and powerful messenger of energy, body, freedom, and Love. She is so present in her attuning to what is available and arriving in each moment, listening patiently and carefully to the individual body's journey as she invites softening, opening, and integration. This was the most powerful, effective, unique, and healing massage I have received in a LONG time and I so look forward to returning to Eugenia again and again for her gorgeous care. THANK YOU Eugenia for making your medicine visible. Your offerings are so needed at this time.

First, the sheets didn't seem very clean: at a quick glance they looked like they hadn't been washed since the last customer because I saw what looks like droplets of sweat on them, but I'm not certain it wasn't just a stain. Second, the massage table was extremely uncomfortable: the hole that I stuck my head in was too small, or otherwise improperly shaped, such that my head didn't fit into it cleanly, and I had to constantly move my head around to shift the pressure from one part to another part (I've never experienced anything like this on other massage tables I've laid down on). Third, when it was over, I paid the $65 for the massage via venmo, and then before I could reach down to my wallet to grab cash for a tip, she asked something about tip (not really sure what she said), and I proceeded to hand her a $10 bill, but she got really angry and made a face and muttered something, so I gave her another $10 bill, and then she calmed down and let me go. So that's a 30% tip. I've only had a few massages in my life, but this was easily the worst experience. I highly recommend you don't come to this place, and instead go to one of the other million massage places in the area. They're easy enough to find.

Although she referred me to a good chiropractor, she worked on me for a short time and I noticed a dramatic difference about ten minutes later.

She genuinely cared for my well being. Thank you Andreea.

My range of motion was significantly limited and I was in pain every time I tested those boundaries. I had plenty of massages and acupuncture, but nothing relieved the issue. I decided to give Andreea a call, and I'm so glad I did. Now, bear in mind, this is no zen spa experience. Don't come in here for dim lights and gentle atmospheric piano. I at one point compared it to childbirth (in a learning to be present with discomfort way, not in a dear god there's a human exiting me way). It was intense. But immediately afterward, I sat up and scratched my back. Big whoop, you think? Indeed. I hadn't been able to do so without pain in at least six months. This was an investment, but Andreea got the job done in a single session. I even asked if I needed to come back, and she was completely transparent that she didn't think I needed to, but of course was welcome back if anything came up in the future -- zero upselling pressure. If you're experiencing pain and nothing's worked, I highly recommend getting in here and getting better.

He has magic hands--which is striking when those hands belong to a 6'4" gentle giant who moves your body with the precision and tenderness of a craftsman. He reads what you need almost immediately and delivers it with total confidence: deep pressure that actually goes deep, stretches that find the exact angle, movements that feel both powerful and completely safe. What makes him exceptional is the combination--technically masterful, genuinely kind and grounded, and humble about being this skilled. His space is thoughtfully designed, from the lighting to every small detail that makes it feel warm and inviting. Easy parking, fair rates.

Unlike some other masseuses I tried, she doesn't assume what I need but tailors the massage based on my preferences. I used to think I should let the professionals do their thing without giving much input. However, my perspective changed when she explained that while professionals have knowledge, I'm the one living in my body and I know better than anyone where I have tension knots. Thanks to Joyce, I now feel comfortable asking for work on my scalp, elbows, and eyebrows massage or even ask to spend a couple more minutes holding pressure in one spot. As a fellow Virgo, I appreciate very much her attention to details. I've been a loyal costumer for a few months now, with a brief break when she transitioned to her fixed location in the East Bay. I'm glad I moved to the East Bay recently and can see her regularly again. I highly recommend a 1 hour and a half massage if you are looking for a great massage experience.
