I explained to her that I have scoliosis and she knew exactly what areas to concentrate on without me having to tell or show her - not only that but she is STRONG for sure - this is the type of treatment that works on my body and may not work for others. As a client, I always voice when something is too deep to the point of pain but therapists do not know our threshold - it's important to be communicative during treatment. Some areas I couldn't tolerate so Annie moved on but in the areas that deep pressure was required - she spent more time on. Also - don't let the exterior fool you! The massage parlor is in an area that felt a little sketchy to me but as soon as I opened the doors, I was comfortable and super excited for the thai massage experience.

However, the atmosphere in the room is typical with soft spa music, dim candle light, comfortable tables and a cozy room that may put you to sleep like me. Upon arrival, Sunny checked me in with smiles and was also my masseuse for my Swedish massage. She hit all the right points and made sure I was comfortable by asking if the pressure was too much or the bed temperature was good for me. I really enjoyed the minimal use of the light unscented massage oil she used. Before I flipped over, hot towels, more massaging and hot rocks were placed on my back. This was different for me, but I thought it was perfect. It warmed up all the areas she massaged and and removed most of the massage oil leaving my back soft and moisturized without an oily feeling. There was also some stretching done with my arms, legs and neck area. One finished, I felt relaxed, loose and ready for another gym session of lifting! The prices are extremely reasonable as the focus here is on the massage not all the fancy, aromatic things and decor. Booking online is very easy also. This is a great massage joint and definitely the best bang for your buck around here!

She has an exceptional understanding of the body and energy flow, creating a session that is not only rejuvenating but also deeply healing. Her ability to help release stored energy and foster a sense of balance is nothing short of amazing. After each session, I leave feeling lighter, more centered, and completely refreshed. If you're looking for more than just a massage--a truly transformative experience--I wholeheartedly recommend Laura.

Laura Williams is competent, dedicated, knowledgeable, attentive and kind…read more I came to Laura in January, 2024, principally to work on lingering pain in both my right and left lumbar area; the right one being an old problem and the left one quite sharp and very new. The left one was the remnant of a slipped disk that created an uncomfortable amount of burning pain for several long months in the left leg and leaving the muscles atrophied and weak. Since the right lumbar almost always hurt in one way or another and my neck was always and repeatedly stiff, I finally decided to go looking again for a therapist. I contacted a number of therapists, but Laura's response was so simple, direct and pleasant, I decided to try her services. Good Choice In the first session the sharp residual pain in the left lumbar was gone within days and by the third session I realized I had made the right choice. Laura has an uncanny energy and a clear ability to connect to the human organism, allowing her to perceive and understand its needs, quibbles, defects and problems; no doubt supported by her manifestly impressive knowledge of the musculoskeletal anatomy. She has a light touch, but also a powerful force where needed--and I have certainly often needed her energy and her force. Because I complained about a unhealthy level of prolonged stress developed over the last five dreadful years, she also began a sensitive and effective method to moderate this stress; quieting my organism and better preparing me to deal with, construct and tear down, what has yet been left undone.

Review for Watercourse Way Bath House Spa…read more A peaceful oasis in the middle of Palo Alto that works for just about any occasion. This is a long overdue review. I have been to Watercourse Way by myself, with girlfriends, and with boyfriends--and it has been solid every single time. Whether you're looking for quiet alone time, a girls' day, or a relaxing couples experience, this place truly has something for everyone. What makes Watercourse Way special is the privacy and flexibility. The private rooms are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Each one typically includes a hot tub, cold plunge, shower, and a comfortable resting area with clean towels and linens. It feels like your own little retreat tucked away from the world. They also offer larger rooms that are perfect for sharing with friends--soaking, chatting, and maybe adding a massage to the experience. The massage services are excellent, and you can book them individually, as a couple, or as part of a group visit. The staff makes the whole process easy and welcoming. A few practical notes: * Parking can be a little tricky right near the entrance * I usually park at the Whole Foods on Homer Avenue and walk a block or two--it's simple and feels very safe * The facility is consistently clean, well-maintained, and professionally run * Prices are reasonable for the level of privacy and service you receive What I appreciate most about Watercourse Way is how it encourages you to slow down. It's the kind of place that reminds you to take care of yourself, breathe, and reset. Life is short. Stress is unavoidable. You can't control other people--but you can control how you respond. So go soak. Get a massage. Unwind. Make it part of your routine. You'll leave calmer than when you arrived--and that alone makes it worth it.

Having recently had a great facial experience somewhere else, I was reminded of my disappointing…read moreexperience here last July. I had been neglecting my skin and knew it needed some help, so I booked the custom facial so the esthetician could choose what made sense instead of guessing myself. Once I was trying to relax, in the towel robe and lying down eyes closed to block the bright light, she looked at my skin and proceeded to tell me I needed a different facial because the custom one wouldn't be "enough." It was not really clear to me what the differences were although I asked clarifying questions, but she talked through multiple options and prices even mentioning one had an offer of a free take home product. This was NOT the vibe I was looking for. Now I could have just said no please stick with the original plan, but I was vulnerable... this was the first nice postpartum thing I had done for myself and did want to do what was needed for my skin. However, I ultimately felt like I was being upsold and having to make the decision to spend more money on the spot when I'm sitting there eyes closed trying to relax. It was too much mental load especially since I wasn't familiar with the facial options as a first time customer. The mention of the free product also made me feel like it was a sales pitch. I wasn't familiar with the product, and it wasn't going to play a factor in my facial choice. The facial overall seemed good and I did add on microderm abrasion which I do think make sense for my skin and would have been a simple add on without doing the mental math on the other facial types. At the end, she put on a tinted sunscreen that when I stepped out, made me appear slightly orange like a really poor foundation match so I ended up going home to wipe off my face instead of continuing along my day. All in all, I think they use quality products and know what they're doing. However, my recent facial somewhere else reminded me how this one was simply not a relaxing experience, made me feel put on the spot, and led me to spend more than I had planned without the conviction it made a noticeable difference.
