Mary was amazing! First time visiting. Will not be my last…read more My body was screaming at me. Unfamiliar with Sausalito, I went on a search and was able to book a last minute appointment. Booking was easy and quick with a note field to highlight concerns or places needing focus. First appointment of the day, two hour session. Mary sat with me, listened to my concerns and inquired about areas I felt needed the most focus. During the session, I was provided tea, a relaxing environment and Mary's presence was very calming. She was attentive, thorough, checked in with me, and gave me much needed overdue TLC - I was in heaven. If you are looking for a massage to melt the body back to a state of peace, Mary is the set of hands and other limbs needed to do just that. Mondays she is there all day. Ask for her specifically, you will not be disappointed. I will definitely return, asking for Mary, awaiting her magical touch. Thank you for an incredible session Mary, I appreciated it so very much! I live in the east bay and made the trek, worth every second and cent.

Me and my partner booked a couples massage today for our anniversary and came up from San…read moreFrancisco. I'm sad to say that it was incredibly unsatisfactory. We both got swedish massages with medium pressure. The pressure was very light for both of us and it didn't feel like it truly relieved much tension. Neither of us felt very relaxed after the service. However, the biggest thing for me was the sheer amount of oil used. I left with my skin feeling wet and my hair became incredibly oily from all the oil on my shoulders and neck. I want to feel moisturized after a massage but I was literally soaked in oil and I spent the rest of our anniversary with my hair looking practically wet from all of the oil. I went to a nearby cafe and used their sink to wash the oil out of my hair and it was still so oily. I've taken a shower now and I am still oily!! My phone is covered in it too. Lastly, I also got the jet lag eye treatment and it was just a small eye sheet mask for $15. Needless to say, we don't plan to come back. Very sad it didn't work out better.

I rarely write reviews, but after my horrific experience at The Bodywise Massage Inc. (1435 4th…read moreStreet Suite F, San Rafael, CA), owned by Tobi Lessem, I feel compelled to warn others. If you're seeking a place for relaxation, healing, or even basic professionalism, steer clear of this establishment. Tobi's incompetence, condescension, and outright dismissal of customer needs turned what should have been a restorative birthday treat into an emotional disaster. I'll detail exactly what happened so you can see why no one should ever trust her or her business with their well-being. In February, I texted Tobi to book a 2-hour massage for my birthday, which I treat myself to annually as a form of self-care. This year was particularly tough; I'd lost two incredibly close women in my life, leaving me in deep mourning, emotionally heavy, and profoundly vulnerable. I was counting on this session to help process that grief through therapeutic touch. Tobi confirmed the 2-hour booking via text, so I arrived excited for some much needed relief. The masseuse was a bit late, but she got me settled quickly, and we began. About an hour in, while I was face down, fully immersed in the massage, feeling those pent-up emotions finally starting to release, there was a sudden knock at the door. The masseuse stepped out, spoke briefly with Tobi, and returned to inform me that my session was over because the next client had arrived. Stunned, I reminded her of my 2-hour booking and offered to show proof from my texts. She stepped out again to relay this to Tobi, only to come back insisting it was just a 1-hour slot and I had to leave immediately. I was furious. Being yanked out of that vulnerable, healing state mid-session felt like a violent interruption to my emotional process. I got dressed and confronted Tobi in the lobby. I explained the booking error and showed her our text exchange proving the 2-hour booking. Even the other client, a gentleman who'd been double-booked over my time, overheard our conversation and graciously offered to reschedule, saying, "I'm sorry, it's your birthday, I don't want to interrupt that." But it was too late; Tobi had already forced me off the table and out of the room. Tobi acknowledged her mistake in booking me for only 1 hour instead of 2, but her response was shockingly condescending. She dismissed my concerns, saying she "had to make the call" and would prioritize the other client, essentially telling me to she didn't care. When I expressed how deeply disappointed and hurt I was, especially given my personal circumstances, she had the audacity to retort, "If this is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you're lucky." Appalling doesn't begin to describe it. Here I was, raw and exposed, and she minimized my pain with a flippant remark that showed zero empathy. Later, Tobi sent a follow-up email that only compounded the insult. I've attached a copy here so you can see her mindset in her own words. Read that again: "We are not interested in good customer service." She openly admits her business prioritizes some vague "community" notion over basic respect for paying clients. She assumed the other client's "medical massage" needs trumped mine without knowing anything about my own emotional and physical state, as if grief and vulnerability aren't valid reasons for care. I paid for the full hour I received, but the damage was done: my birthday self-care ritual was ruined, and I left feeling more broken than when I arrived. This isn't just a simple scheduling mix-up; it's a glaring display of arrogance, poor management, and a complete lack of accountability. Tobi's actions show she values her own judgment over evidence (like text proof) and client feelings. In a field like massage therapy, where trust and sensitivity are paramount, this level of disregard is dangerous. Psychologically, interrupting a session mid-flow can exacerbate emotional distress, turning a healing space into a traumatic one. If she treats vulnerable clients this way, imagine how she'd handle yours. Do not give Tobi Lessem or The Bodywise Massage Inc. your time, money, or trust. There are plenty of compassionate, competent massage therapists in San Rafael who actually care about their clients. Save yourself the heartbreak, avoid this place entirely. 1 star, and that's generous.

We were visiting Mill Valley and decided to book a massage on a whim and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the trip. We've tried so many massage places all over the Bay Area, but Pure Thai Acupressure Massage truly stands out. The pricing is unbeatable and the hospitality makes you feel taken care of from start to finish. Right when you arrive, they provide clean, loose, comfortable clothing to change into, which already set the tone for a relaxing experience. We did a couples massage with Ellie and Peter and both were amazing. Ellie asked what areas needed the most attention, and with a job that's very upper-body heavy, my neck and shoulders are always tight. I walked out feeling like a completely different person. My back and shoulder pain significantly decreased and she worked on areas I didn't even know could be relieved. It felt intentional, intuitive, and incredibly effective. I live on the Peninsula, but I would absolutely make the commute just to see Ellie again. If you're in the area and debating it, this is your sign.

While visiting family in Marin I decided to get a massage and found Thai Thai Therapeutic on Yelp…read more The reviews were good and the prices were great (especially for Marin!) so booked a 60 minute Thai deep tissue massage with Tiger for the next day, and holy cow, that man has magic hands! When I arrived I was greeted kindly and promptly taken back to the massage area. As a woman I am sometimes hesitant to get massages from men but I had 0 hesitation with Tiger - I was completely comfortable with him from the get go. From the start I could tell how skilled he was - I have never had someone find my knots and tension instantly the way he did. If you prefer a soft, fluffier massage I'm sure they do that very well but I prefer a deep tissue, painful-in-a-good-way massage and this was truly one of the best I've had. The pressure was excellent and there was only one moment where I asked him to go a little softer and he adjusted perfectly. At the end he made me tea I was able to take to-go which was an absolute treat. I would say the only possible drawback is that there aren't private rooms so much as private areas separated by curtains, which didn't bother me at all since I was basically entranced the entire time. The calming music also made me feel like I was truly in my own little world. I know there are many places to get a massage in Marin but I couldn't be happier with Thai Thai Therapeutic. If I wasn't just visiting I would definitely be going here consistently! Thanks for an incredible massage Tiger!
