I booked an appointment with Carlos about a week in advance through his online scheduling system…read more Simple, easy, and exactly how booking should be. What made me drive over an hour for bodywork when there are plenty of massage therapists closer to home? One thing: myofascial release. I've entered a season of healing and wanted someone who could help me work through years of tension that have settled into my body. Carlos did exactly that. During my two-hour session, he worked on my jaw, neck, shoulders, and even my tongue. Yes, my tongue. I know that sounds strange, but I had no idea how much tension I was holding there until he started working on it. It was one of the most unusual yet freeing experiences I've ever had. At one point, I found myself crying, not because anything hurt, but because it felt like years of tension stored in my jaw were finally letting go. What sets Carlos apart isn't just his skill level, which is top-tier. It's his ability to connect with genuine empathy. For this type of bodywork, that matters. Two hours wasn't enough to unwind decades of tension, but it was enough to make me realize how much more work there is to do. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for someone to help release chronic tension, pain, and stress while leaving you feeling lighter and more at peace, I highly recommend Carlos.

He is excellent! He's a gentle soul, very friendly and comfortable to be around, and a skilled masseuse. In addition to his many years of experience he is intuitive and seems to know exactly what area to work on and in what order. Carlos has worked on my entire body, head to toe and I am making progress on reducing hip, lower back and shoulder pain. I'll be continuing with him and highly recommend him to anyone in pain or on a healing path. Thank you!

When Alex came to my house, he set up the massage table in a very organized manner. While he was doing that, we had light conversation where he made me feel very comfortable, because he was consistent in his professional manner. He also explained what he was going to do, and it gave me confidence in his knowledge. The experience of massage itself was great: he paid extra atention to all the tense areas, and I felt like all the stress of the day was melting away. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that is looking for a high quality massage in safe, sanitary, and professional environment.

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

My only complaint was I wish I'd found it sooner - because I would've been coming here for the past four months, Just the right amount of pressure, it was a combination of rigorous, invigorating and very relaxing I felt much better afterward!!! My reflexologist was an older man, he was nice, respectful and strong, he coughed a couple of times - so what - I saw an earlier review complaining about that - he is human - it did not bother me nor was it excessive. I had a great experience and for the price it was the best. It is not the Ritz Carlton Spa and neither is the price - the foot reflexology was outstanding;)!

We were staying in Guerneville and this place is easily less than half the price of those upscale mediocre massage places in the resort areas. We drove an hour for the massage but it was worth it! We both got massages basically for the price of 1! I booked a 90-minute combo massage for us both, on a Friday for a Saturday appointment. The place is no frills, but clean and the rooms are semi-private. Regardless, the surroundings and the traffic noise and unfortunate timing with construction were a little distracting, but the masseuse I had was fantastic. She worked my knots into submission, did a great job of listening to where I needed more pressure and was thorough. I got a 30 min. foot massage with a full 60 minute body massage that started with a calming facial massage. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by here, maybe before heading to the nearby breweries like Lagunitas!

I asked to use the bathroom before my session, but instead of helping, they kept directing me straight to the massage room. I ended up having to find the bathroom on my own. My massage therapist didn't speak any English, and despite repeatedly asking for light pressure, she continued using heavy pressure and even started hitting me with her fists in certain areas. It stopped feeling like a massage and more like being struck. This was supposed to be a two‑hour session, but I couldn't relax at all because the hitting continued throughout. The only positives were that the place itself looked nice and the price was reasonable. Still, the overall experience was so uncomfortable that I will not be booking here again.

I have even availed myself of multiple sessions with a Rolfer over the years. LeeAnna is off the charts excellent. She incorporates sound therapy with massage and has mastered skill sets in several other modalities including shiatsu, pregnancy massage, cupping, and energy work. She uses smooth, heated jade stones for targeted heating. Jade stones are known to be imbued with healing properties. Her space is safe and has a feeling of sacredness about it. She is highly intuitive, and understands the body in multi-dimensional ways, unlike anyone I have ever been to. She is thoughtful, warm, safe, and extremely attentive.. My first session was a gift from a family member that lasted 90 minutes and ended with a half hour or so of sound therapy using gongs and Singing bowls. I left feeling positively altered at levels I can scarcely describe. I wanted to go back, and discovered that she was booked out 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Given the quality of her work, this is completely understandable. It's such a pleasure to recommend such a quality individual as Leanne! Be patient, your first session might take about six weeks before you can get in, but it's well worth it!
