Massage Mission I work 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. read more

I decided to take up jump roping as a form of cardio to get in shape a week before a big trip that I've been planning for months. 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! read more

In the past, I've received Swedish and deep tissue massages but a Thai massage was the first for me and probably my most favorite type of massage by far. For a Thai massage, you are not on a table but on the floor with a comfy mat fully clothed (recommend loose cloths). Every stretch and pull I got was great and was literally stretched around like a pretzel. This was 90 minutes worth of stretching, pulling and deep massage. Currently, Chimene is in Thailand getting the best training their is in Thai massage. I'm looking forward to the newest techniques she's learned in Thailand! read more

I had a prenatal massage here as a present. It was heaven! It was the most relaxing hour of my entire pregnancy. Chimene took great care to make sure I was comfortable. And when you are prego, getting comfortable is a near impossible task. This is a great present for the mommy-to-be's that you know. It's great for the mommies that need a break too. read more

I've had a few massages in the city and Chimene is without a doubt the best. She is very attentive and her studio is so warm & cozy. She focused on my pain points and incorporated some yoga/stretches that made it extra special! I can't wait to see her again. Thanks again, Chimene. read more

Massage Mission - So warm and cozy!!!! - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I would highly recommend Chimene for a massage. I went this week for a prenatal massage and she was fantastic. She took the time to understand what my pain points were, and made sure to address those aches during the massage. I've had a few massages while pregnant and this one really did the trick. I found most spa massages to be overly gentle to the point of not relieving the aches and pains of a pregnant back. But Chimene had just the right amount of pressure to get the kinks out and to send my body into total relaxation. It was also one of the first times that I've laid down and not had the baby kicking the entire time. Whatever she did, it relaxed the baby as well! It was the first time I've had a massage in someone's home rather than in a spa location, so that was a change, but her home was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. read more

Nothing short of amazing, Chimene is fabulous! The BEST massage in the city!! read more

Let's start with this: Chimene is fantastic! Last week I had a Thai Massage, my first time with Chimene and first time having this type of massage. Thai Massage is a little different than what one envisions a massage would be like - more stretching combine with deep tissue work. Full clothed and lying on the ground, not on a table. You don't leave feeling sleepy, but more relaxed and energized, like you just worked out. Very different but really good. Can't wait for my next one! read more

This was my first Thai massage ever, received it a a birthday gift, and I'm going to recommend this to everyone! I'm literally high on great body energy feelings and could not believe how the deep stretch made me feel during the treatment and afterwards. I'm surely getting gift certificates for family and friends to pass on such a wonderful experience and because Chimene is the best therapist that can happen to you. If you need to start somewhere in taking care of your wellness, start from here. Your body will thank you. read more

Massage Mission - I highly recommend the Thai for an unforgettable experience and great work on your whole body! Best gift I ever got! - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

Woah, Chimene is all sorts of amazing. I was feeling extraordinarily stiff in my mid back from working on a computer all day, from home on the couch. (Not the most ergonomic of set ups) and she went in and got all my knots out, and I walked out feeling a million times better. I always feel good after massages but I literally felt no pain or discomfort or stress of ANY sort! It was the best massage I think I have ever received and I get a lot of massages!!! read more

Chimene is awesome! I highly recommend her for Pre/Post Natal Massage as well as massage in general. Aside from being a very calming person herself, her massage room is set up to keep you completely relaxed and blissed out: no noises from the street or surrounding businesses, nice clean facilities, and good "mojo" for healing. While she worked on my back, legs, feet and arms she methodically found each of the knots I carry and gave them no mercy ~ but also made sure I could handle the pressure she used. One day later and my muscles are still thanking her! I'll definitely be back for another massage next month. read more

Chimene has been amazing for my wife and me, being able to fit us in last minute, and giving differing styles of massage based on what we need. read more

Chimene is wonderful! She is very in tuned to what each person needs. She has had extensive training in Thailand and is very talented. She has great energy and my experience with her was one of the best massages I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

Chimene is the best! I have been to many massage therapists but Chimene has such skill and talent that is not easy to come by. She has extensive training, a great calming energy and I have gotten some of the best massages ever from her! Highly recommended! read more

Man, Chimene was able to find e exact problem areas in my back and shoulders. she's great about working only to the levelof deep tissue your comfortable with.I tend to want really deep massages, knowing that a little discomfort on the table can mean feeling really good afterwards. She did a great job finding the edge of that comfort zone and working out the knots. I'd recommend her to anyone. read more

Wowza! Had my very first (but definitely not the last!) Thai massage with Chimene today. It was amazing. She has actually studied massage in THAILAND for crying out loud! She has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and she really knows her stuff. I felt like a million bucks after. I walked taller and felt more energetic some old knots were released. Simply amazing. I will definitely be recommending her to all my friends. read more

I had never had a massage until I was referred to Chimene at Massage Mission. She made sure I had an excellent first-time experience. She explained everything she did and really worked some magic in the process. It was a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable experience: she particularly worked on my neck and upper back and I felt the soothing effects for days after. Chimene is extremely competent and professional and, though I'm a newbie, I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I have had severe knots in my back that I have tried everything to work out. Lacrosse ball. Nope. Foam roller. Nope. Literally everything I can think of. Chimene did by far the best job taking care of this of anything I have ever tried. As someone who spends a LOT of time climbing and working out, having someone as knowledgeable as Chimene to help out is a must! Highly recommend. Very professional and great at what she does. Go see her! read more

I had a fantastic massage. Beautiful space, expert massage therapist. Everything about it was comfortable and healing. I left in a vastly better space - physically and mentally - than when I went in. It exceeded my expectations and I wish this business the best. read more

I had tried different places for prenatal massage during my first pregnancy but went to Massage Mission when I was pregnant with my second daughter. She was by far the best prenatal massage I have ever had! Chimene is great, she makes you feel really comfortable. I had never felt so relaxed in the whole pregnancy read more

I hesitate writing a second review because I have nothing really new to add except WOW. I'd never had a Thai massage before. I'm middle aged, not themost limber of people and asked her not to "break me". All I can say is I've never ever felt so relaxed and at the same time energized after a massage. Ever. AND the area I've experienced much pain has not hurt in the last 48 hours. The combination of her knowledge and skills combined with her intuition and personal attention make for the most amazing massage. I just know it's healthy and good for my body. I can't think of a reason why I'd want any other kind of massage. Thanks, Chimeme!!!! read more

Since meeting Chimene years ago, I always loved her. Great energy, extraordinary intuition and some precise deep pressure elbows, hands, knees and feet. Book a Thai massage with her and that is precisely what you will get. Her 2 trips to Thailand for basic, then advanced Thai training, took her already strong skills to another level. Treat yourself to this gifted healer! Love you Chimene!! read more

Chimene is great both at massage, and at making you feel comfortable. Wish I still lived in the neighborhood!

Chimene took into consideration where my pain points were and spent extra time on those areas. I was so relaxed I started to fall asleep! Great massage and highly recommended! read more

I do not know where to start. Firstly, I could not move without turning my entire body because my neck/shoulers/entire torso were so stiff and sore. I called and Chimene personally scheduled a time outside of regular office hours to meet and massage me. Mind you, this was my first time as her client, so it was very trusting of her to do this. The next morning I was dreading facing another day in such pain and was a bit scared that I might be sore from an intense massage, which it was, but it was necessary. However, I woke up and felt almost 100%. It was nothing short of a miracle and I can't thanl you enough Chimene. I can't wait to schedule another massage here. read more

I had the time of my life! Although I was at that time not pregnant I really enjoyed the massage. I normally have my massages at the mindful body, but the therapists do always change and I only found one I really liked. My time schedule is not very flexible and need appointments on short notice. With Chimene I found somebody who can give a great massage and can fit me in as needed! Keep up the good work!!! read more

Let's face it ... if you are pregnant, you need a massage! I was referred to Chimene at Massage Mission for prenatal massage and I was not disappointed. I found Chimene to be personable, professional, and very in tune with my body's needs. The massage I received left me relaxed, refreshed, and feeling like I got my money's worth. I definitely recommend Massage Mission for prenatal and regular massage. Thank you Chimene!! read more

Is the second time that I receive a traditional neck and shoulders thai massage from Chimene. I went out feeling so released and lighter than when I entered. I strongly recommend anyone to try it out after a hard day work. read more
