I have decided to finally share the info. about the best massage therapist EVER. There are many…read moremassage therapists out there but no one is as talented as Deborah. For years, she has done an amazing job. I learned about her through Urban Skin Care, where she worked for several years. She now has her own place in Encinitas. Even though it is a drive, it is TOTALLY worth it. I always get a deep tissue massage and she goes deep but never leaves me too sore. Her massages have never injured me in any way and if anything she has helped improve my pains from running. She is friendly but not one of those massage therapists that talks your ear off in the middle of the massage. She makes you feel comfortable. You can tell her I referred you if you want. Oh! Make sure you sign up for her e-mails updates, she offers some good discounts often. She charges about $85 for a 1 hour massage and about $115 for 90 minutes. It ain't cheap but SO WORTH your buck! Enjoy!!!

Amazing, Amazing Massage! This is so much more than a massage! Go for a 90 minute appointment, you…read morewon't regret the extra time!

Myia is simply the best. This is NOT a spa session and it is also NOT Myia just pulverizing your muscles as some "deep tissue" therapists like to do. Her work is very intentional with the goal being health for all your soft tissue. Sometimes that requires intense levels of pressure, other times it is a more subtle coaxing a muscle into alignment. Myia has the sensitivity and the experience to feel what the muscle needs and can handle, while also always inviting verbal feedback from me. I have seen over 20 bodywork therapists over the years, and while there are many great people out there, Myia is the one I still consistently go to.

Jessica is the only person that I get a regular massage from and have been for almost 10 years now…read more She's very intuitive and can read exactly what your body needs. I've gone to her with a knee injury and at another time a shoulder injury and both treatments were very healing and soon after my pain was gone. Don't bother going to a western doc for pain pills - just go to Jessica so she can get to the root of your discomfort, literally! and release tension and pain from your body instead of just covering it up. But do be prepared to do some deep breathing and participate in getting the kinks out! I highly recommend Jessica for her excellent service and deep rooted wisdom of the human body!!

My stress level was also very high. Mieko has done acupuncture to relax the nervous system and then to heal the arms. She also worked on my back and shoulders. To top that, she gave me possibly the best massage I ever got on my back and shoulders. Wow. Within 1 session my pain was down 80% and I was able to work again. After the second session the pain went away completely. Amazing. I now go to Meiko once a week for as long as my work load is high to be able to support my body with this additional load. Mieko is very gentle and caring individual. She is passionate about helping people and she is very knowledgeable. Her acupuncture and massage combination is unique and it's a winning combination. You leave there feeling relaxed and revitalized. Can't thank Mieko enough for her good work. Give her a try, you will not regret it.

She does it all...whatever it is that my body needs, from acupuncture to open the blood flow to massage but my favorite is the gua sha and cupping. She's the most open, warm and caring hearted person I've ever met. You will know what I mean when you meet her. Definite 5 stars! You will not regret going to her but I will say that she's ruined me because I can't be satisfied getting a massage anywhere else now. No other masseuse can do the job...must be the combine magic of acupuncture and massage. She's got some seriously strong hands but she's gentle where I need it also!

Cherre is by far the most talented, compassionate and knowledgeable therapist I've met. After…read moreinjuries from a car accident I was fortunate to find Cheree and her amazing healing powers. She understands the human body perfectly and always amazes me with how she listens to my body. No matter what injury or pain is peaking at our sessions, she finds it, releases it and continues on to other areas to help with healing. Without Cherre's healing hands I would still be in substantial pain and very limited mobility. I can not thank her enough for helping guide me through this period of my life. She truly cares about her clients and finds the proper way to heal. Do yourself a favor and go see her. You will not regret it!

Ive had a nagging sleeping injury for many years…read more I was hesitant about getting a massage package from any massage therapist after my chiropractor recommended it to me years ago. So after putting aside my pride, I finally decided to get a massage because I was in intense pain after waking up one morning last week. I went to Knead a Massage and I had a great experience. My therapist Cherre found multiple knots in my neck and shoulders. Not only was my neck in pain but Cherre was able to loosen the muscles under the shoulder and above my armpits and it relieved 70% of the pain from my neck. It was unbelievable how much knowledge and experience that my therapist had in injuries and problems like mine. I thought u could get a back rub at the mall and that would be enough. But I now see the value in having a professional massage therapist by your side. I am going to recommend Cherre to all of my friends and family and to anyone who is dealing with naggin muscle soreness or sleeping injuries you better call Cherre Bull at Knead a Massage!!! Thank You Cherre!!!
