Not only is she an expert at soothing aching muscles and inspiring total relaxation, she might be the nicest person I have ever met! She makes me feel comfortable each time I see her but still manages to work with the utmost professionalism. She also works out of both Aptos/Soquel and Santa Cruz, so her work is easily accessible. Additionally, she is trained in aromatherapy and acupressure, so whatever your needs are, Ahna-Kristen can help you! I will never use another masseuse again!

She was able to get me in the next day. After my wonderful massage my back felt significantly better. By the next day it felt exponentially better. I know I avoided many days of back pain by having Tamar treat it right away. On top of being incredibly skilled and intuitive, she is kind and makes one feel comfortable around her. Thanks so much Tamar. I have had hundreds of massages in my life and this is right there with the top ones!

I struggled with people that barely went skin deep to therapists that focused only on fixing to the point that I left their offices hurting more than when I did when I came in. That was until I met Shannon. She is a truly incredible massage therapist! From the moment I walked in her doors, she was completely attentive to not just what I said, but how I moved and held my own body. She listened not just to what hurt, but also asked what I did daily and talked about how that might affect my body and focused on those areas as well. When I was on her table, she noticed things about my body that I didn't realize, and ways in which she could help me and referred me to other people that could help in different ways. Every time I leave her office I feel completely renewed. I can even feel the effects the in the following days when I go to rehearsals and dance and use my body again. Her new location is also absolutely wonderful! Not only is it a cozy, professional, comfortable place to walk into, but her massage table is a dream (I later learned it is made of memory foam). Even before she walked in the door to start the massage, I was in heaven. I cannot recommend anyone more highly! If I could, I would see her every week.

I've been dealing with cervicogenic headaches and upper-thigh discomfort, and Tiffany knows exactly how to work the right areas to help relieve my pain and tension.

I always leave with my mind, body, and soul feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and genuinely better than when arrived. Tiffany is a true professional who really cares about her clients. Absolutely fabulous -- five stars for sure!

Alright so super convinient. Cool. But was the massage amazing? OMG yes. Yes. Absolutely fantastic. I'd say ties for best massage in my book with a woman in Austin. And she now totally loses because Austin is a whole lot farther away. Susan is in Brookdale but will I believe come to you - not sure what her travel radius is but I asked if she came to San Jose and she said she has a regular client on Mondays and she also said she could do parties...yay!! Nothing beats a massage party. Alright so details...she got in there and worked out all those giant knots that I have. I told her to make it hurt and she really got down in there and got rid of them. Totally strong - perfect in my book for a, um, massage lady. Hehe...it's really a shame that I can't spell...oh and she even pointed out to me that I have a big freckel on the back of my ear because she said it's not a part of the body I would be able to see but she wanted me to know about it. How nice is that?? Lucky me, it's been there forever so no real cancer concern but it was pretty awesome that she mentioned it. Ugh...writing this makes me desperately want to book another appointment but two in one week just feels glutinous...but all of you out there should call and set something up!!
