It was a lovely experience to have Amanda as my therapist. She felt genuine and caring. Sweet and accommodating to my needs. And I'm very grateful for our time together. read more

Amanda is a sensitive and caring therapist. She has been very helpful helping us with family and personal issues

I'm a massage therapist as well, and I've had many massages over the last 35 years. Amanda is one of my favorites. I relax deeply every time I receive a massage from her. The environment of the space, her voice, and her touch contribute to an overall wonderful experience that leaves me happy in my body. Thank you Amanda. read more

I have had the pleasure of a massage with Amanda and find her to not only have a relaxing touch but also a soothing voice to listen to. It is a pleasure to have a session with her and feel all the external stresses melt away . I feel so refreshed afterwards! Thank you Amanda read more

The best massage I'be ever had. Amanda is fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A session with Amanda is nothing short of exceptional. She is a master healer - fully committed to her clients' overall well-being. I arrived at her office two years ago full of fear and worry from a scary medical diagnosis. From the moment I arrived, her calming presence and nurturing energy allowed me to feel safe and at ease. What stood out to me then, and still does each time we meet, is her unwavering commitment to my overall health and spirit. I am constantly delighted and impressed with her ability to blend various techniques and tools seamlessly. She provides the environment, touch, perfect blend of oils and energy work that allows my body to relax and restore. Amanda is also a master communicator. She checks in periodically to ensure the pressure is just right and adjusts her approach based on feedback. Every question is thoughtful. Every movement feels purposeful and therapeutic. Every insight shared is helpful. Every session is healing and transformative. Sessions with Amanda go way beyond the physical - they are a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation- that not only reset the nervous system, but also help one see - and be in - the world differently. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a massage but a holistic and healing touch. read more

Amanda was wonderful. She was very attentive to what we were looking for, and made a point to ask both my boyfriend and I if we had any specific areas that we wanted her to either focus on or avoid. It was also nice that she came to our hotel room for the massages, due to a partnership with Mill Valley Inn, where we were staying. I also really enjoyed the fact that our one hour session with her was a mixture of traditional massage as well as full-body energy focused. I'm probably not doing the actual practice justice, but it was a clarifying and relaxing experience. read more

I heard about Amanda Snow through my awesome hairdresser Michelle at Milvali and just went and had a wonderful experience! I like massage, but aromatherapy and tuning forks have always sounded kind of fluffy to me. I get it now. Throughout the massage she used various scented oils and I would get random impressions of my big sister's perfume or being in a forest. It was like being transported. The tuning forks were strangely invigorating, I was worried it would be annoying like insect buzzing, but they resonate so deeply it was like a giant floating by. When they were applied to my spine I could feel this soothing vibe all the way to my fingertips. It was a great massage and she found the right pressure. Just really great immersive super relaxing and what I needed. read more

My first time with Amanda. A wonderful experience from the time I entered her sanctuary to the time I left floating out the door.... Need I say more? If you really need a break from the outside world you have to go see her ;) read more

I've seen Amanda twice for prenatal massage throughout my pregnancy. The first time was at about six months, and then I just had another at nine months along. What can I say, she is absolutely amazing! Not only does she have a healing touch that relaxes the body, she also incorporates other practices that satisfy the senses and calm the mind. Her use of aromatherapy sprays throughout the hour and a half encouraged the body to soften, yet heightened the mind just enough to keep me present throughout our time. She also used tuning forks to help clear my body's energy lines. I've always intuitively known that this practice was powerful, but feeling the baby respond positively to the vibration I now have proof. One thing that I didn't expect this last massage to do was to prepare me for a successful labor and delivery. Being present, awake, yet totally relaxed is what I am aiming for when this little boy decides to arrive. When the time comes, I am going to draw upon my experience with Amanda as the guiding light for what to do when the intensity starts. I will tap back into that calming center and trance-like state that was created in her studio space to help get me through. For expecting mothers, I highly recommend Amanda for prenatal massage, and regular massage as well. read more

Though I would agree with other reviews that Amanda Snow and her Relax and Be Free Massage & Spa Services business was an excellent 1 1/2 hour session, I cannot and do NOT recommend her for prospective clients seeking the best massage AND treatment. Both aspects are important especially when there are so many trained and competent massage body workers available to choose between today. I will try to be brief and to the point. I came to Amanda through Yelp and had only one massage with her on February 28, 2016. Her "spiritual" approach as expressed in reviews and her website drew me in. However, in retrospect now 5 weeks later, I'm sorry to say that she showed an extreme lack of communication, which in turn was disrespectful and a deterrent to me, a new prospective client. From the first visit, I noticed what I would call an "unnatural" inflection and expression in her voice. It reminded me of past days around spiritual communities where members were trying to adopt an air of spirituality, rather than just being themselves. Specifically, Amanda started off by saying something like, "Firm believer in warming up beforehand..." (referring to getting the body warm before starting massage). However, it was the unnaturalness of her voice and communication that was immediately noticeable. She didn't just say, like a normal person would talk, "I'm a firm believer in warming up beforehand, etc." I personally started on a spiritual path at age 17 with a meditation practice, so I've had a lot of experience and growing understanding and compassion for others. I don't particularly derive happiness from this review but feel it's important to be truthful in the hope that others will be forewarned. And that perhaps Amanda will reflect on her communications and how they affect others. While on the massage table, I made some conversation at different times. That I especially loved the music in the room, She did not respond at all. I asked her if she knew her address (155) was a "holy" number. She said she did not, but didn't inquire why I said that. She gave a feeling of not being responsive. I also mentioned that her "voice" sounded like a woman I met who gives "Satsang" (spiritually oriented meetings) named Pamela Wilson. I suggested Amanda listen to Pamela's voice on YouTube to hear the resemblance. After the massage, she said I could pay with credit card but I wanted to pay in cash. I know that professionals appreciate receiving cash. I included a 20% gratuity. I asked Amanda about purchasing "packets" (a group of massages that her website indicated she offered at a discount rate). She responded that I could email her later, to just be with the effects of the massage. I felt that Amanda wanted to send me off and wasn't really available to talk for a few minutes. So I left and reminded her to listen to Pamela Wilson. After I arrived home, I texted Amanda and thanked her for her gift of massage. NO response (then or ever). The next day I emailed her and asked about her packages. NO response. I waited a couple days and emailed her again, indicating that I realize that she must be very busy. Finally she wrote me back and said that she may be going back east to help a family member post operation and recovery. She was assessing her schedule. However, she wrote that she didn't want to offer a package deal at that time (in so many words). Now that did not make any sense to me. A package of massages is used over many weeks or months and the fact that Amanda was planning on going back east temporarily would not affect that. Plus I remembered that she did not respond to me asking about packages while I was at her home office after my massage. It didn't add up. It wasn't logical. I wrote back commending Amanda on going back east to help a family member. I asked when she might return. Again no response. In a few days she finally replied that one of her family members was to have a heart operation and that she didn't know when she was going back east. She wrote that she "sensed" that she should "pause" on appointments and would "circle back" to me when she was ready to resume massage with clients, etc. I sensed something was "off". I wrote Amanda back and expressed that my dad had two heart operations (bypass surgery and a stint for the arteries). I wrote that my experience was the operations were immediately successful and that there really wasn't a period of post op recovery needed. I was trying to convey to Amanda a sense of relief, that in today's world those operations are common and with excellent doctors, recovery is quick. I mentioned that one thing we can do for someone is attempt to council them on diet and exercise, routines that may have contributed to the cause in the first place. No response from Amanda. A few weeks elapsed and I sent Amanda an email hoping all was well. No response! I cannot recommend her lack of harmonious communication I experienced. Choose a masseuse who cares genuinely. read more

Amanda is completely amazing. I heard about her magical treatments from the lovely ladies at Purevana and was dying to try her massage therapy. Her elegant, intuitive use of tuning forks, aromatherapy, deep tissue and other modalities will send you off into a blissful state. After our first session I was so dazed that I napped for hours afterward. If you want to heal yourself, this is the place to be. read more

Amanda is an awesome massage therapist who understands the body and massage as a healing art. She gets a lot of leverage in the right spots and is a professional. Clearly has a passion for the work and creates a very calm and restorative space. read more

Amanda is the masseuse you want to tell your friends about. She is deeply intuitive and highly skilled, knowing just where to focus and how much pressure to administer. The aromatherapy is delicately applied, and the tuning forks get your whole body sensitized for optimal healing. I often buy gift certificates for my loved ones, wishing them the same exquisite experience I receive on her table. Will never go anywhere else! read more

I started meeting with Amanda as I was recovering from surgery that was needed to remove a tumor. I went to our first session expecting an ordinary, relaxing but not life changing massage. I was right that it was relaxing but wrong about ordinary. Amanda is more than the average masseuse; she is a healer. I know very little about body work involving energy and chakras, but I do know how I feel after meeting with Amanda. I feel restored and balanced. The only problem is that ever having an ordinary massage again will likely feel disappointing, but I can live with that :) I highly highly recommend Amanda; she is about as awesome as it gets!! read more

To begin your massage Amanda always relaxes you with wonderful aromatherapy that just drops you away from the daily grind. There is not a more knowledgeable, informed, yet caring and gentle healer...she is attentive to your personal needs and is a certain connector of body/mind therapy. read more

If you are looking for a very nurturing, therapeutic and relaxing massage, I encourage you to see Miss Amanda. Her energy is absolutely angelic!!

I was staying at the Embassy and saw the massage info and booked my first appt with Amanda. Wow ! My back pain eased and I was able to start working out again. So far I have lost 39 pounds in 10 weeks thru proper nutrition, massage, and working out. Thanks Amanda for all you have done. See you tomorrow !! Paul Security Director read more

Amanda with Relax and Be Free is my number one go to for massage! I would rather have an incredible tranquil massage from Amanda then to schlep to a random spa on ANY day. I have been to some of the best resorts all over the world, from places Thailand to California and to be completely honest, nothing compares to a massage from Amanda. She is a healer. It is a very special experience to be able to have an appointment with her. She is in tune with the body and always knows where I am carrying stress. I have been seeing Amanda for massage therapy and tuning fork energy work for over 4 years. Most recently I have been able to have pre-natal massage from Amanda. It is outstanding! I had a gift certificate up north in Calistoga for a pre-natal massage and it just could not measure up to Amanda's massage therapy. She can accommodate a pregnant Momma with such care. She has the pillows, a large back wedge and bolsters to make it such a relaxing experience for an expecting Mom. She is educated with the proper knowledge of which pressure points and where it is appropriate to work on a pregnant woman. I am so grateful that I was given this opportunity during my pregnancy. I can't wait to get in for a Post Natal appointment! Lastly, I will mention that Amanda has Gift Certificates. I have a friend who just gives Amanda's massage for any occasion as a gift. She is consistent and reliable. I can't say enough great things about her as a person and in her work. She is hands down AMAZING!!! read more

Amanda's massages are amazing. She came highly recommended by a friend in Mill Valley, CA. Amanda is a healer and intuitively knew what my body needed. I showed up with severe neck pain and could barely move. Her massages were gentle, nurturing, therapeutic and included a variety of modalities such as: cranial sacral therapy, aromatherapy, energy work/tuning forks, and breath work. I felt restored, relaxed, and gained full mobility in my spine after a few sessions. I highly recommend Amanda. read more

From the minute you walk into her healing sanctuary, you are immersed in beauty, serenity and warmth, and then immediately begin to feel her powerful and grounded presence that gives you permission to let go and release. She has an amazing attention to detail in everything she does and you feel completely held for the entire session. I'm impressed with her range of healing modalities- everything from delicate flower essences and essential oils, to mindful and healing massage and touch, to powerful and transformative shamanic practices, and one of my faves- the sound and vibrational healing of tuning forks. These are just the ones I've experienced, but no doubt she knows more.....I highly recommend her! read more

Amanda's therapeutic skills, variety of modalities and presence is above any I have ever experienced. I have referred many friends and clients to her and they all cherish their sessions with her read more
