I got a massage from Tara recently, but it was at the Vital Energy Center in Capitol Hill instead…read moreof this location. I tend to keep a lot of tension in my back, so I try to get in for massages as much as possible. Tara was intuitive and seemed to work a lot with pressure points. The energy in the beginning of the massage felt calm but intense; kind of like forming the intention of creating the space as a healing space. For about 10-20 minutes I was in the "This is nice, but I'm not sure if this is the style for me" space. About halfway through my hour, however, I realized that I had gotten into the state where I'm possibly asleep but feel more like I'm just so relaxed that I'm conscious but only coherent every once in a while. That tends to mean that I am VERY relaxed, and... well... I kind of love that. My back felt wonderful when I left, and the only soreness I experienced was from where she had worked on my chest (and that's just because it's very tight and I don't think it's gotten enough attention in the past). Tara recommended a stretch that should help loosen that up. I felt like my way home was something of a spiritual experience. Every time I get a massage like this I start really looking forward to finally finishing my degree and having a decent income again!

I've had a lot of massages because I get a lot of upper back pain and tension. And there is nothing…read moremore annoying than a light massage. I need a massage therapist who can do deep tissue like they mean it and that is Tara. She seems to have a talent for just knowing where the knots and problem areas are and working on them until you feel like you're in a completely different body. She is very professional, knows what she is doing, explains what she's doing thoroughly, asks all the right questions, and also has great hours and introductory deals to give her a try. Oh and the office is super cute, tidy, clean and relaxing. Can't wait for my next appointment. Oh and she takes insurance including Aetna, but you can pay for an add on half hour if you want to go longer and have her work on parts of your body that are not being treated (on insurance).

Danielle greeted me warmly at the door (#103) and immediately made me feel calm, welcome. She has a very respectful, compassionate and nurturing Air about her, making it perfect for this line of work. My first time experiencing craniosacral work, and she explained it perfectly, sharing the scientific words and explaining them to the layman (me) in such a seamless way, that I left feeling as if I've done it a thousand times! Go see her. For massage, for deeper understanding of yourself, not only in respect to physical understanding and well-being but also emotionally, spiritually.

I have been very impressed by the thorough notes they take before and after each session, which helps one pick up where the other left off, and also keeps track of my progress and goals. I'm glad they are conveniently located in my neighborhood, but I would gladly drive to see them; this level of service would definitely be worth the drive and parking (there is always street parking - usually right out front - and it's only $1.50/hr). I have seen many massage therapists over the years, and this is the best service I've received to date. I look forward to continuing my therapy with Helix!

Myesha was amazing! I received a postpartum massage and she did not play around. I felt drunk after…read morethe massage with all the good chemicals/hormones flowing through my body. It's been a while since I have had a massage, like years, so my body really needed it and she knew exactly how to help me. She was able to provide deep tissue massage and attend to some really difficult points in my body. I can't wait to go back! It started with some time in a sauna and then moved to the massage table where she used essential oils and coconut oil. I'm big on all natural and organic products so this was perfect! I normally use coconut oil as a moisturizer for my body so it was perfect! I didn't feel like I had all kinds of weird massage oils ruining my clothes after.

I play basketball and my mobility and posture improved dramatically after just one session. I honestly felt taller after our session. If you have any stress points in your body, you don't even have to tell her since she will notice them right away and work them out in the massage. If you are struggling with recovery times or feel like you need some stress or trauma released from your body, look no further. She is one of the more conscious people I have met and is very experienced at what she does. Come ready to laugh, cry, and think about life if you choose to do so. A real professional!!

I had a bit of difficulty finding the building, but that is not really relevant to the quality of the massage itself. Manita listens for feedback regarding the amount of pressure she is applying while she works. I suggest the 90 min session to get the most from it too. I went to see her for some lower back pain. Not only did she give me relief from it, but she identified other areas that I need to have worked out n. Overall, I am very happy to have come across Manita's practice and will continue to see her to get my body feeling better.

I'm so happy to have found Amalia!! She is the best massage therapist I have ever had! I've been…read moreseeing Amalia for almost 2 years, and have tried out other therapists but none compare to Amalia. Graduate school and a lot of computer time has not been good for my neck and shoulders, but each visit to Amalia's has made my back healthy again! She maintains great pressure, and really gets at the areas where the muscles are tense and tight and where all of the knots are. I always walk out feeling like I have a longer neck and with no pain! Her treatments are relaxing but also therapeutic, and also the most effective treatments I've come across for my upper neck and shoulder pain. I've finally been able to get rid of the pain and tingling in the upper shoulders and neck because of Amalia's treatments. She also gives very helpful advice on further self-care exercises and stretches that are great for the tension areas. Amalia is also very personable and the massage sessions can be as chatty as you'd like or not--definitely not awkward! If you can get an appointment with Amalia, you are the luckiest person in the world!, her appointments fill up fast! She truly does wonders!! Her office is near many bus lines in Capitol Hill, and in a tranquil space.

During the session, I felt relaxed, safe, and cared for by Holly even though I was pretty nervous as it was my first session. It was super soothing and relaxing a nice midweek treat. After the session, I had a really good week and had some surprising shifts and had new clients contact me for my business, and I attribute a lot of that to Holly and her magic.

I was scheduled to have a major surgery, and Jen was incredibly flexible in squeezing me in TWICE last minute. She not only relaxed my muscles, but put my mind at ease entirely. I'm convinced I will recover swiftly thanks to her masterful hands. Jen is a queen-of-all-trades and reads your body like a master. In one of our sessions alone, she used the many modalities of deep tissue, swedish, craniosacral, Thai stretching, reiki, and intra-oral on my TMJ to fix the popping issue, as well as some deep belly massage to work on my incredibly tight psoas muscles. How many practitioners do you know that can fit all that into a single session? I've had many, many massages over the years, and Jen has helped my body so much in such a short time. I haven't felt this loose in ages. Do yourself and your body a favor, book a session with her and you'll leave feeling incredibly relaxed and blissful. Thanks again, Jen
