Some might think that getting a massage in the middle of a farmer's market might be…read morecounterproductive. Nope. Not with Emily's hands on you. She's one of my favorite massage therapists, specializing in Traditional Thai Massage, Shiatsu, and some undefinable, yet healing quality that Emily brings to her practice. Few things in life are better than getting bodywork from Emily on a sunny day. I generally check out and take a few minutes to look around & figure out which planet I'm on. It's a great way to end a visit to the Berkeley Farmer's Market. The massage tent is at the Berkeley Farmer's Market on Center Street near Milvia Street from 10 am to 3 pm. On cloudier days, The therapists in the massage tent have blankets to warm their clients. There are other therapists that work there, but Emily's one of the best. Note that Emily's quite busy, but if she's not available and you're lucky, Catherine Rinaldo might be working with her. Catherine has her own style, and she's every bit as wonderful as Emily. Both charge me $45 for 40 minutes, although you can choose different times. I'm stuck at 40 minutes. I suggest you don't wait until the last minute, 'cuz these two are busy. Do tip them, since they're worth it & it's a challenge to create such peaceful, healing environment in the bustling market

I had an awesome massage therapist (I hope I'm spelling this right ..Sia) . She listened to my needs and she worked on me for 2Hrs! It was worth EVERY PENNY! She is a beautiful soul and really is blessed with such a talent! I went in because I had fallen a few months back and my knee and hip were hurting. She worked on my knee and it already feels soo much better. She also told me how to massage that knee at home when I am perhaps watching TV or before bed! I will surely take her advice. She also found my left back shoulder blade was very tense! She worked on it and explained that the stress from my left knee had not only affected my left hip but also my back left shoulder blade! I could feel the tension and she worked to get the knots out! She was so patient and amazing and my shoulder blade also felt better! It is amazing how one injury can affect other parts of our body! I cannot say enough good things about this sweet young woman I wish I could bring her to Texas with me!!!! lol Best of luck to you Sia, I will be thinking of you often!

Seriously though, she is amazing. I'd definitely echo the other reviewers in that she doesn't stop until your muscles are completely relaxed.

She also wore a mask during my treatment (and I wore mine of course) and had hand sanitizer throughout. She's amazing! Do yourself a favor and check her out!

Worth the credits !!

Katie truly has the magick touch for tight muscles and aches. I've been seeing Katie regularly for…read more1+ years now. She's one of the few massage therapists that can feel for the areas causing the most pain and slowly target them. I looked at quite a few practices in Sonoma County but she was also one of the only ones with weekend availability! Her practice is quite holistic. She'll ask how you're doing that specific day and choose certain essential oils depending on your symptoms (ex. peppermint if you're recovering from a cold, CBD for chronic aches). I also love her seasonal decor and themed heated blankets which seem to change each month, whether it's Halloween or Easter! My problem areas require a lot of deep tissue targeting so when the pressure isn't enough, she'll add other techniques like hot stone or cupping too. Having been to 10+ massage therapists (even those recommended by a chiropractor), Katie is one of the best!

Cynthia is obviously Healdsburg's well-kept secret, because apparently locals know about her but…read moretravelers visit the salons, which have younger, less experienced masseuses who don't understand how to touch a human. Well more for the rest of us because Cynthia is fantastic--her skill set is fine-tuned from years of training and experience and her warm presence sets the tone for a truly healing experience. Whether you live in Healdsburg or are just visiting this charming town, look no further for a deeply relaxing therapeutic massage. Be aware that she may have a small, sweet dog present and if you are allergic, you might have to mention it. For me, the presence of a calm, adorable animal was a bonus, but if it isn't for you, just mention it and I'm sure Cynthia will be happy to accommodate.

The place was clean, and easy to find. We filled out paperwork and lead to the room and given instructions. The room was warm, they had heating pads and maybe even heating blankets on the tables. When I got in, it was so comfortable! NOTICEABLY Comfortable! We had Minh and Jessica and from what we could tell, they did the same thing on each of us (consistently is good) - we had 60 min deep tissue and 30 min foot reflexology. I noticed the detailed pressing on my shoulders and neck- you know when you feel them breaking down the knots. He got in between my tendons on my forearm O M G so often they skip arms and hands- this was a special treat and boy did it feel good! I felt like he using pressure points and stretching the muscles to relieve the tension. He also got the tight spots, calves, iliotibial band, and neck; but also unusual areas like knee caps and balls of the feet! We come through this area often because we like it here, and we will for SURE be back!

I also said I don't like to be massaged with elbows cause the elbow bone is quite uncomfortable. Services booked: * 60 minute deep tissue massage: 2/5 I get a massage once a week. What I received was definitely not deep tissue. I asked Kat for more pressure and to go deeper. She used her elbows, even when I requested no elbow. And she didn't really change the pressure. The whole deep tissue massage felt lackluster and lazy. There was minimal focus my back. Her massage didn't provide any relief for my aching body. * Happy Feet (30 minutes foot): 1/5 My feet was exfoliated and scrubbed for approximately 2 minutes. This also includes reflexology, which I feel she massaged my feet 3 minutes each. It was not a 30 minute treatment. I felt very cheated and disappointed with this add on. The happy feet add on did make my feet happy. It lasted less than 10 minutes. * Head massage: 0/5 This massage lasted about 8 minutes, even though it was supposed to be 15 minutes. This is the most disappointing head massage I have ever gotten. She did the same exact thing for 8 minutes straight: There was no massage or relaxation. Just felt like a lazy head scratch with no pressure. Overall, I felt very cheated disappointed with Kat. I don't feel that she is a very talented masseuse. Her massage felt very non- existent and lazy. And she cut corners with the time and service I paid for. Unsatisfied. Cheated. Disappointed. I would not return to Minh Therapy...

WOW! I just had the most incredible massage from Lillie!…read more I was holding onto a gift card from my last birthday. I called to make an appointment for this birthday and owner, Jin, was super responsive and communicative. We scheduled a 75 min hot stone massage, but when I chatted with Lillie about areas of the body to focus on, she customized the massage to my needs and didn't end up using the hot stones, other than a few as heating elements to rest on my body. She and Jin were so kind to adjust the price down as the massage I got was a bit cheaper. As a fitness instructor, I love anatomy and learning about the human body. Lillie is beyond knowledgeable, and super passionate about what she does. I told her that I sometimes get tension between my eyes and she explained that it could come from my eyeglass prescription being slightly off, or it could come from jaw tension and tension in my neck and pectoral muscles! Fascinating! It all makes sense. Loved Lillie's energy and her balance of gentle and firm massage. This sweet spa is conveniently located in downtown Healdsburg, across from the Police Station, just tucked down an alley. The space was clean and peaceful. I can't wait to go back! I won't wait another year, that's for sure!
