As someone with disabilities and chronic…read morepain, I was both excited and anxious to schedule services, as I need accommodations and patience with my conditions. However, Sin made this an absolutely remarkable experience and I'll definitely be coming back. Sin took the time to do a consult with me where they listened closely to my needs and concerns and adapted the appointment to make sure it was customized for what I needed. The ambiance was welcoming and comfortable and I felt safe in the environment they created. They really helped me relax with the music and vibe and checked in to make sure I was okay. They offer a ton of deals, as well as add on services which are all really relaxing and beneficial. I was able to add on CBD cream and cupping, which both enhanced the experience. The services are both affordable, and incredibly worthwhile, especially if you experience chronic pain or just want to treat yourself. I would highly recommend Sin to anyone looking for a massage, as this was the most ideal experience I've had.

Now it's the next day and it's actually insane how much relief I felt. I don't think I realized how much my hand and arm needed the work that Sin provided. During the intake I did get emotional about how stressed I was feeling with some of the symptoms I've been experiencing, and Sin held space for me and didn't make it weird. I felt seen and comfortable. During the session I felt super relaxed, and I even got a goodie bag after! Thanks Sin!

I spoke to Koko on the phone and let her know about my pregnancy and my anxious partner. She set everything up and, despite wearing masks bc of covid, it was the most relaxing massage either of us had in awhile! Fiance said he even caught himself drooling a couple of times he was so relaxed. They gave me a couple of pillows to hug for my prenatal massage and I was just imagining hugging the baby while Natalie massaged my back, head and arms. It was such a loving and relaxing experience, and exactly what we needed after how crazy 2020 has been. We felt really safe with the new covid guidelines and liked that we were the only customers there. They gave us hand sanitizer and masks to wear. We had a wonderful experience and hope to return the next time we are back in SD.

I've…read morebeen to a few massage places in my neighborhood including -Karma relaxation -Happy head massage -the water cube spa Just to name a few so you can have a general idea. What these establishments lack are real massage therapists. Nothing pisses me off more than paying damn near 100 dollars for mediocre work meaning someone just basically rubbing lotion on my body in circles. This is what lead me to massage by design. I was desperate for a professional due to having liposuction and was in need of a Real 100% government stamped masseuse for aftercare to avoid lumps from fluid collection. Massage by design has 5 stars on yelp, please believe these reviews. These great masseuse"s are sent from heaven above to knead your tired body parts and whip them into shape honey! I have been here 4 times already and have decided to keep the same masseuse by the name of Nick because he is the best!

Unfortunately, this transition took a toll on my teenagers emotions. Fitting in and adjusting has been a challenge especially on my daughter who had a breakdown during school and begged for me to pull her out. Brought her home and saw signs of major depression. After our appointment with Nefetari, I'm confident we will get through this. I'm hopeful if you're reading this review that you'll take a chance and set an appointment with Nefatari for a reiki massage. This is what I did for my daughter. I believe people have gifts to share with the world and this lady has a gift. She wasn't available that day but scheduled her in for the next day. Prior to the appointment she asked to speak with my daughter after hearing what had happened. They spoke what seemed like 15 minutes but I noticed a change already in her energy just with a phone conversation. Next day she woke up crying again and refused to go to school. So I let her stay home. It wasn't easy to see my vibrant happy go lucky goofy daughter get so down to the point of not wanting to get out of bed. I dropped her off for a 90 minutes session. She was a bit quiet on the ride home and I wanted to respect her experience. Once we got home, I kid you not.. she was laughing and smiling and acknowledged she was having a hard time but that she would do what was necessary to get through it. We journaled before bed and again this morning before she went to school. I see my baby's optimistic smile and I couldn't be happier. Thank you beloved. I will forever be grateful for your gift!

" Nadia Uses A Totally Different Method "…read more I went to the Revive and Rejuvenate Massage in La Mesa to enjoy a massage. Nadia the owner and massage therapist started my massage by asking me if I would like to have the Tui Na massage. I had no idea what kind of massage that was. Nadia explained it in detail to me and gave me a sample on my upper back area. Evidently it is a hard massage to learn how to do so not many massage therapist do it. The Tui Na massage is a Roll & Pinch kind of massage, where the massage therapist rolls her hands very quickly with pressure all over the areas of your body. This type of massage is supposed target your scar tissue in your body, allowing the blow flow in your body to be better after the massage, and therefore helping your body parts to move more freely and feel better. Totally different than the regular massage methods. It does not hurt and the next day I did not hurt either, and my muscles felt looser. Check it Out !

Paul is an amazing massage therapist. Paul was visiting Bristol in the UK where I live and I was…read morefortunate enough to receive a massage from him. As a massage therapist myself over several years, I have a considerable amount of experience receiving massage (good and bad of course, and I take serious consideration as to whom I choose to massage me). When I received a massage from Paul, it was out of this world! I am truly grateful to him for all his expertise, incredible focus and intuition. Paul has taught me so much from just one massage, I am inspired to specialise in the same way - his style is multifaceted and unique. He is a rare individual, a natural massage therapist and he clearly loves his trade. Paul's work is a labour of love, and one only needs to put their trust in him to experience such intense nurture and healing. He works into and releases muscle attachments. His work is very strong (worth being aware of this) and flowing so I would recommend his technique to people who enjoy/wish to experience firm and flowing massage. There is a Thai massage style to his work, so expect to be moved into yogic positions unless specified. He is a creative and doesn't appear to follow a sequence, while working closely with the breath. Paul's massage on me was soothing in the same way that it was strong. It was deeply relaxing and rejuvenating for me. If you choose to book a massage with Paul, rest assured that you will be his sole focus and trust that all is well, you are safe in his capable hands. I only wish that Paul was based in Bristol UK so I could have my favourite massage therapist nearby :) A huge, huge thanks to Paul for visiting Bristol and making the initial connection, while helping me progress so profoundly in my personal and professional development. It has been an incredibly healing and eye opening experience, and I am forever grateful.

It helps me to be better in my work, my job and makes me more aware of myself, my clients and helps me flow better and elevate myself, my work/job. Paul is so Free and flowy with his massages and I was so relaxed and felt floaty after his massage I slept so well as well which can at times be difficult for me. I feel a bit sad in a way he isn't closer (we did a swap in Edinburg whilst he's on his sabbatical). He is a genuinely lovely person and feel safe in his presence and in Treatment with him, as a woman I felt seen and safe with Paul and his massage/care and his time.

I was specifically looking for a massage therapist who uses gua sha, and finding her was the best thing that's happened to my wellness routine. I've been getting massages for over 10 years due to chronic neck and back issues, and I can confidently say she's in a league of her own. Every session leaves me walking taller, with noticeably better posture and the effects last for at least a week, which is rare. She is STRONG and maintains consistent deep pressure throughout a full two-hour massage! What really sets her apart is her ability to find knots and adjust her technique on the spot if the muscles don't respond. I've had people just give up before. She's trained in multiple modalities and mixes them up to meet your body's needs. If you live with chronic pain and your body responds positively to massage, you simply must visit her! I leave every appointment feeling so much better, both physically and mentally. I've also had some of my best naps on her massage table. She truly gets me through the week, and I can't recommend her enough. Also, her space is beautifully decorated and full of personality. It's warm and inviting but also unique and clearly reflects the care she puts into everything she does. Give her a try since you've got nothing to lose except maybe some neck tension and the ability to complain about it .
