A steam, hottub and a cold plunge! They also gave us totes with robes so we could move to and fro areas. The massage was the best massage Ive ever gotten. It was a deep tissue with I believe her name was Jessica or Jesse. It was dim and very relaxing! I will say this place was pretty pricey so I'd do it for a special occasion! The only blip, and it really is a small blip is that one of the front desk ladies misheard my friend when she said she was paying for 2 of us and charged her for 3. We able to sort it out amongst ourselves (Thanks zelle lol) but they were very apologetic! I'll be sure to come back for an anniversary or something!

Why choose Rachel?…read more Massage therapy should be a holistic experience that benefits both the mind and body. While massage helps promote relaxation and the release of endorphins, that experience can be diminished if the therapist appears disengaged or unhappy in their work. Whether you prefer conversation or silence, feeling comfortable and cared for is essential. Rachel consistently provides that experience through her warm personality, professionalism, intelligence, and genuine care for her clients. I specifically asked her to address my chronic shoulder pain, and she was able to identify and work on the muscles that were triggering my symptoms. The treatment was targeted, effective, and left me feeling significantly better. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I understand the importance of patient experience and quality care. It's easy to see why people appreciate Rachel's work ethic and the positive environment she creates. Good vibes overall. Thank you, Rachel!

Long story short, Rachel is a great massage therapist. She creates a relaxing space just by her way…read moreand aura alone, and is attentive to client details. After a single visit, on coming back a month later, she somehow remembered a lot about me - that I practice brazilian jiujitsu, do regular soft tissue work at home, that I have family and business in Orange County. We chatted for at most 10 total minutes during my first visit. It's exactly this type of continuity that I was looking for in finding a massage therapist to go to more regularly. Berkeley has a few great Thai massage places but therapists rarely speak English and they never seem to honor the specific therapist you book. I was looking for someone who will retain information on what I like and what my muscles need, and Rachel is exactly that kind of massage therapist.

I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I would definitely come back and highly recommend Alisha and Spa Siam Orchid!

So, Amy contacted me and expressed she had never been treated in the manner I treated her; which…read morewas confusing. She stated she would offer to refund me the difference of what I paid her and whatever I thought the massage was worth. I thanked her and named a price. I sent a request for the refunded amount in VenMo. That was 4 days ago. I have not received a refund, nor have I heard from Amy. Instead I received a random message in Yelp from Amy telling me to write as many reviews as I like. This was odd and I flagged the content of the message exchange in Yelp so they can facilitate whatever was occurring between Amy and I. I then copied and pasted my reply to Amy into VenMo, hoping Amy would see it and acknowledge her offer to refund me for part of the cost. I still have not received the refund Amy offered nor have I received any communication from her to clarify what she did intend to communicate or to proceed with a refund she offered. So, at this point I presume she never meant to refund me, like she stated.‍ Approximately an hour after posting this, Amy accused me of harassing her.‍ Proceed with caution if you decide to reserve her services. First and last time for me.

Looking…read moreat all the 1 star reviews including this review of a customer asking for the message therapist to stop and her refusing to listen, to the point the customer had to get up and stand up naked to yell at her to leave.... I'm appalled looked at these 1 stars.... and there are plenty..... Anyways, I will speak to my experience: I went here because I heard about it here and there. Will never return. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude and gruff, the place felt dirty, and massage itself sucked, didn't seem like she knew what she was doing, there was no presence, or attention. So, I did NOT tip (and I usually always tip because its a nice thing to do, especially if you really appreicate the services etc but I was upset by my experience and a massage is supposed to relax you).. when she was done, I got dressed, and start walking towards to the exit door and the message therapist accosts me "Why didn't you tip me?! I gave you a massage!?! Why no tip!?" I just shook my head and left. I will not return. They are rude, really poor interpersonal skills and have no skills in their craft.
