Jenny of Structural Healing Massage is the BEST and I cannot recommend her highly enough…read more I started going to Jenny for massage back in 2019. She really helped with my range of motion and with pain I had been feeling from sitting at a desk for long hours. In 2020, the pandemic hit and I didn't see Jenny for 2 years. Fast forward to 2022 and I am back to being a regular client. Previously, my insurance covered massage, but I have different insurance now and it's not covered. That's fine. I will gladly pay out of pocket to go to Jenny. With regard to the actual massage, Jenny's touch is firm, but not hard, which I prefer, as tensing because of too hard pressure works against relaxation. Jenny really knows her anatomy and can focus in on specific muscles that may need attention. And Jenny's bedside manner is calm, peaceful, and attentive. Overall, she's great and I will continue to see her regularly.

Jasmine is very professional and was able to accommodate me on very short notice. Prior to the…read moremassage she sat with me and diligently listened as I tried to explain where and why I thought I was having pain. She didn't seem rushed and made me feel very comfortable. This was my first 2 hour massage and it was an incredibly lucid experience. Jasmine provided me with the exact right amount of pressure and used various type of massage influences that not only helped relieve a lot of my pain, but put me in a space of peace. I highly recommend her.

It was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep-- only the second time this has happened during a massage. Ahara Rasa is a lovely renovated old house with nice massage rooms and the smell of essential oils in the main room. I highly recommend getting a massage from Jasmine!

Very little to no communication, which made things even more uncomfortable. The beds don't have an actual head rest for facing downwards, so my face was smushed into the makeshift one on top of the bed + a paper towel... Parking is limited due to the area -- I had found street parking a few blocks away. I was shorted on the time a tiny bit, but only realized once I was in my car and driving home (because I noticed the time was exactly an hour after I had walked in to the shop). 60 minutes should be exactly 60 minutes. Overall, uncomfortable experience and I would not do it again :(

I have been to many…read moredifferent massage therapists in my life and Valentine is the only one who has made a dramatic difference! My job requires that I hunch over people all day long, so my shoulders are very stiff and have always had a hump- like appearance at the base of my neck and shoulders going down to my back. I can't believe it but Valentines Work has actually flattened my shoulder/neck hump; after only 2 sessions!!! I sit taller and actually feel taller! It's AMAZING. She does trigger point massage that has also helped to align my hips and help with my flexibility. I can do more of the moves at my yoga class now..And to top it all off, I had injured my right arm and her trigger point and cupping techniques have almost eliminated all my pain! All I can say is go see Valentine! You will feel better instantly!!

I'm struggling with some plantar fasciitis and a torn finger ligament. Eliza helped me massage those areas with targeted treatments while addressing the rest of my body. I didn't know that my arm muscles were tight from all the computer work I do, until Eliza massaged my arms and talked me through different muscle groups. When the weather is cooler, Eliza is thoughtful to put a heated pad in the massage bed for warmth. I'm grateful that Eliza is within 5 miles of where we live, but even if she's farther, I would still go because she's very good!

It's…read moretaken me a minute to write this review only because I am finally able to revisit my experience in my mind. I decided to try this massage place out because I read the great reviews. I feel like I owe it to my fellow massage lovers out there to share my experience. Long story short, my visit to Ya Ya Massage Spa was like a bad dream. My first impression of this place was the smell. I cant really describe with words, but it was disgusting. Next, was the room where my massage took place. It was eerie. It had a red glow from a light that had been sloppily painted red? Creepy. (See picture). I got undressed and soon realized there was nowhere to put my clothes because the hook on the door had someone else's shirt and some sort of negligee! Wtf! (See picture). I remember thinking to myself "what kind of place have I come to!" I thought about leaving then, and I should have. I'm too nice. After undressing, I realized there was nothing on the table to cover myself with and I wasn't given any instruction on what to use, so I found a towel in a basket and used that. The massage itself was mediocre and probably would have been considered fine if it weren't for the fact that the woman was playing an Asian pop song on her phone on REPEAT! I said something, but she just changed it to another pop song which then was on repeat. She also did a terrible job draping me--I felt completely exposed through the whole massage. The massage cost me $70 (I used a coupon on their website) and I still tipped because once again, I am too nice.

So when I slept on my neck wrong and just happened to be in this area for lunch, I searched and found Ya Ya! I called and asked if I could be in in two minutes cause I was right down the road and just needed a 30 minute neck and shoulder massage. The woman very politely said yes she was available, and literally within five minutes of the call! She was very strong intuitive and absolutely helped my body in a matter of 30 minutes! I can't tell you how many massages in Portland. I've been disappointed with not hard enough., rarely and only one session , but this was absolutely amazing & I really look forward to going back! Thank you Ya Ya! I will make sure to bring my husband next time. He will love your strength! Appreciate you!

Last night I decided to give them one last try and booked a 90 minute massage. For the first 30 - 40 minutes, I kept hearing a buzzing and the massage therapist kept either switching to one hand or just resting a hand for a minute or so without moving it. I finally looked up to find that she had been texting the whole time she was working on me. I called her out on it and she finally focused on the massage. Will not be going back. If you're thinking of going here, don't waste your time or money.
