I've known Cathi for several years and her warm, light-hearted presence is very calming. When I visited her studio, I felt welcomed in the soothing energy, music and scents in the air. From the beginning of my massage, she reminded me that this is my "ME TIME" and I let all my worries melt away... Cathi's techniques were great; she really took the time to find the root of my problem areas, as well as did some extra stretches that were really wonderful. I trust in her and her abilities as a healer. She gave me some great tips for ongoing stretches I can do at home to relieve some recurring problems I have with my neck and shoulders. I really appreciate the good vibes I felt from the whole experience and will definitely be returning to her. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts and putting so much care and love into the massage, Cathi! read more

A massage therapist who doesn't care about the health and wellness of her clients is not a massage therapist to visit. Now, given that her website is down it seems Cathi may be every bit as good a businesswoman as she is a person, but on the off chance that she's still practicing somewhere, you should be aware. At the time she made these comments (at the time of this posting), the COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. hover around 120,000 people and San Diego is under orders to wear masks. Massage therapists have just been told that they can legally open soon under strict restrictions, one of which is a mask requirement. None of which align with Cathi's "truth." Don't want novel coronavirus? Don't visit Cathi Brennan, she has a high risk of being a carrier and she has clearly stated that she does not care about the health and wellness of others. read more

Cathi was exceptional for my first and second massage. She quickly got very comfortable. Her quality massage skills declined and she got pushy with her upsells. Everyone can have a bad day but she was like this for 2-4x in a row... I felt like I built a relationship with her, which is always nice, until she tried to rip me off with a referral. I sent my mom to her for a massage and in return you get $X off. After my massage she said she couldn't honor that offer, which is clearly stated on one of her business cards, but she could do half the discount. I was so shocked and somewhat insulted, thinking wow lady you would rather risk a long-term client over a few bucks? Cathi does not have your best interest at heart. After all the money I spent with her she had the nerve to keep a few dollars... After I introduced her to a new client... This type of behavior tells me what kind of a person someone is.... read more

I am So happy that I was given the gift of healing by such a wonderful massage therepist . My first session with her and this wont be my last !! I was referred by my stylist and Life Coach Chris Barber. I am so glad I took his advice. Cathi was warm and friendly , she took the time to ask questions about the condition of my body and my concerns to provide the appropriate massage technique. The massage room was warm and inviting with beautiful music and aromatherapy. Cathi is a Gem !! I feel so much better !! read more

I've been going to Cathi for a about two years now at her cozy studio and she's absolutely amazing! How amazing? I was so sore that I couldn't touch my right shoulder using my right hand and my back had a ton of knots! After she massaged me, my back felt significantly better and I could touch my shoulder fine! I was up and ready to go work out again! She makes me feel ridiculously relaxed and works out a lot of the kinks. Normally, I was paying a lot at other places because my siblings would want to get a massage and they would end up making me feel worse! With her, the atmosphere smells and feels wonderful and I feel amazing at the end of it. I love the bath salts that she gives you to soak yourself in your own tub after the massage. Also, she has these amazing cherry pit bags (they smell a bit weird so keep them in a zip lock) but they do wonders for heating up sore muscles or lady parts. Furthermore, I absolutely love how easy it is to make an appointment with her. She's always on time, the positive energy she gives off is so contagious, she's easy to message (easy and quick communication via text and email), she does events (even though I haven't used her for it), and the massage is amazing! I never want to get a massage anywhere else after going to her because others just can't compare. Note: I don't know if she accepts card here. I normally just bring cash. I think she does paypal though! I would call to confirm. read more

One of the best massages I have ever had! Cathi really attends to your entire body in a way that no other therapist has been able to do for me. I really recommend her to everyone! read more

I have been seeing Cathi for over a year. She is nothing short of amazing. Each time I see her I leave feeling a sense of peace and balance. I have extreme mio-fascial issues in my neck and jaw. Everytime I see Cathi she has to work just as hard as the time before. Each time she incorporates good energy and works hard to put my pain at ease. Cathi is a healer, a good energy person and cares about her clients! Needless to say go see her and you will find it hard to go anywhere else! read more

I have loved going to see Cathi to take care of all my body tissue ailments. Being an avid athlete herself, she understands how to work with the body in order to improve the recovery process, as well as just making you feel good. She also works very hard to make sure she can coordinate a time that works with your schedule. The atmosphere before, during, and after a massage with Cathi is always professional, yet serene and rejuvenating. Cathi has a passion for what she does, and you'll know it as soon as you get on her table. Do yourself a favor and go see Cathi! read more

Cathi's massage yesterday was amazing. She rid my body of tension and I was in a state of pure relaxation. Cathi has an incredible gift!! Thank you, Cathi...can't wait for my next session!! read more

Amazing massage! I highly recommend Cathy! Her studio is an oasis of calm and she has great energy and a magical touch!

I am a massage addict...and this was an amazing experience. From the eucalyptus scent on every pillow...Cathi definitely creates a relaxing atmosphere. There is no question she knows her trade... I left after a 90 minute massage feeling an inch taller and ready to jump back on the tennis court. I look forward to becoming a regular client. read more

Probably the best massage I've ever had and I've been getting regular massages for over 20 years. Cathi really knows the body and worked through several problem areas, honing in on problems that I hadn't even thought to tell her about. Her studio is very relaxing with great smelling oils and scents, and heated therapy pillows applied at just the right locations. On my first visit I had an hour massage, but this time I went for the 90 minute and it was fabulous! read more

Cathi has all the qualities of a good massage therapist. She both listens to what you have to say and finds the spots that need the most work on her own. She is flexible and easy to get in touch with, and her prices are better than most of the independent therapists I've seen. Most importantly, she is a talented therapist that takes care of my tight/sore spots and totally relaxes all of my other spots in the process. I would recommend Cathi to anyone. read more

Cathi has a wonderful technique and is always so calming. She has done a great job of helping me with my neck pain and keeping my migraines to a minimum. She has such a wonderful energy and makes me comfortable. She is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. read more

Cathi was able to assist with my shoulder pain in ten minutes. I was not sure how I injured it, but is was painful all the time from my shoulder to my neck. What a life saver!. She really cares about helping her clients. read more

I agree with Kari S. review. I've been seeing Cathy for over 2 years now. When I first started, I had been going through an extremely stressful time and the massages were "my time" to relax and restore my sanity - which is what I expected from a massage. I didn't expect it to be a healing time...both physically and emotionally. After a massage from Cathy, I'm restored to a level of calmness that I maintain long after the massage is over. I'm so much more aware of when my body is reacting to stress now because I know how it feels when it's relaxed so I try to maintain that state as long as possible. Cathy's massages also help my body heal faster from injuries - both new and old injuries. Recently, I fell and tore the muscle connectors in my shoulder. I was in constant pain until Cathy massaged it. She knew just how to treat it. I've been pain free since and it began to heal much faster. My only regret is that I suffered for a few weeks - I should have made an appointment with Cathy right away. Lastly, Cathy constantly amazes me by how she seems to know exactly where my sore spots are without me needing to tell her. It's like her hands have "mental telepathy". I highly recommend her and hope we'll grow old together! :) Seriously, I can't wait for my "me time" massage on Sunday - I have this sore spot near my shoulder blade... read more

Cathi is amazing! I have some serious neck and upper back pain from sitting at a computer for 10+ hours a day and she worked those areas like crazy! Did exactly what I asked her to. The massage table she uses was super warm and comfy and it felt like a two hour massage. It was pure heaven. I have recemmended her to all of my friends and co-workers. read more

I have been to Cathi for massage a couple of times and she is amazing. I have been receiving massages for years and have not had anything comparable to what Cathi has to offer. She is very knowledgeable as to how the body works and the flow of muscles throughout the body. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great massage. read more

one of the better massages I've had. I've been getting at least one massage a month for years. Cathi's technique is great. She reads your body well and adjusts towards your needs and comfort level. Plus I love the little extras she throws in from time to time - hot towels, hot stones, heat pads, special lotions, etc. I highly recommend Cathi for a truly wonderful experience! read more

Cathi is an AMAZING person. She is so kind, and truly cares about your well-being. She is an excellent masseuse. I will always come back to her if I need a massage. I highly recommend going to her if you need anything. read more

I purchased a Massage by Cathi for my mom for her birthday. Cathi was responsive, professional, friendly and accommodating. My mom raved and said Cathi was fantastic and really worked out some knots in her muscles. The gift of serenity and relaxation is a great gift to give another person when it is delivered by someone amazing like Cathi. read more
