I booked three massages with them as my two nieces were in town for a concert. I had my massage with Sharon, who has clearly been doing this for a very long time. I dozed off a few times, which for me means the massage is exceptionally good. The pressure and flow were perfect, even along my usually very painful IT bands (feels like I'm being stabbed with needles even with light touch). My nieces also reported that their practitioners were very good. For one of my nieces it was her first massage and she said she couldn't recall the last time she had been so relaxed. My other niece requested deep tissue instead of Swedish and she was very happy with her session as well. I would gladly book here again the next time I am in the area, highly recommended. read more

I had a wonderful hot stone massage with Susan. I would place it among my top three favorites. She applied light-medium pressure and was attentive to how I felt and where my pain was. I was offered tea or water afterwards which was a nice touch. I found this holistic spa on Spa Finder. Some good friends gave me a gift card after having a baby and I was able to use it here. The location is small but very nice inside. They have a lot of beauty products to test out that are available for purchase as well! My only complaint was the parking. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it took me about 20 mins to find a spot. I still had to walk five mins from a neighborhood to the spa. I would advise you to arrive as early as possible (I showed up 15 mins early) if you plan to come on a nice day during the weekend! I definitely want to check out their facial services. read more

Sundhari Holistic Spa - Massage Near Me - Berkeley, California

Is it possible to have a bad massage? Probably not. While I enjoyed my massage here, it was not deep tissue (which is charged $20 more). More like Swedish. The therapist was nice and we had an interesting conversation, but midway through my massage she had to leave for some reason (not sure why). read more

Been going here for years, love the staff and amazing medical massages. I would definitely call to book a massage if you don't have a person in mind. They can suggest a massage therapist based on your preferences. I enjoy a deep tissue and not too much chatting, so they pair me with someone like Catherine R or Sundi. They are both amazing. Also, the facials are fantastic. read more

Beautiful surroundings. Skillful massage therapist. She was especially good with my aging body and medical osteoarthritis Issues

A few months ago I went to Sundhari Holistic Spa and met with Dr. Cali. I addressed my concerns with acupuncture, and she was thoughtful and professional about what I needed. My experience with her was wonderful and would highly recommend Dr. Cali. read more

The location is Berkeley and Albany border. I had some pain on my back and shoulder and got to the point I could not move my arm anymore to get dressed in the morning. I knew enough about Myofacial massage through a past physical therapy and though it might be helpful again. I explained what I needed when I called the spa, and they paired me up with Jackie for an appointment. Jackie promised minimal to no pain and she was right! She is definitely a rainbow unicorn by combining several massage methods, specifically Neuromuscular Reprogramming, and slowly released my back through several sessions. She even worked on my lower back and legs to release injuries that are over 20 years old that no therapist had been able to release for the last 9 years. Jackie also provide tips and ways to hold my body so I will not have the same issues again. There is never enough time with Jackie as our session goes by quickly and she is always happy to share information. Jackie is a special gem. read more

The customer service I received from Rhianna when booking my appointment was top notch! I enjoyed the atmosphere of the spa and my massage with Barbara was relaxing! I would not classify the massage as deep tissue as requested, it was more of a Swedish massage. Enjoyable nonetheless! I would definitely come back to try the other services and offerings from the estheticians, Ayurvedic specialists and masseuses. I also would be interested to try the acupuncture! Parking on the street nearby was easy, it was 2 hour parking only and I got to my car right before the 2 mark and was already given a ticket which was a bummer but had nothing to do with the spa just something to be aware of! read more

Brought a friend do a stress relieving facial The staff were so professional and kind . I highly recommend this spa

Wow. This far exceeded my expectations! I had a lovely facial with Sig-Britt. She has such a wonderful and sweet demeanor and is so knowledgeable about skin care. I mentioned that I prefer cruelty free products and they actually have many of those, which was a huge plus. The service from everyone at the spa was really amazing. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating. My skin looks & feels great, and the arm/neck/head massage was the cherry on top of an already exceptional treatment. I will be back! read more

I went there a year ago had a great experience the ambiance was great the therapist was great would definitely go back

I went to Sundhari Holistic Spa for a full body deep tissue massage and had a great experience. It was easy to book over the phone (or online) and they had availability within the week. I booked a full body deep tissue with Sundi. Sundi was really nice and did a good job with making me feel comfortable, relaxed and checking in on the pressure shortly after beginning my massage. It was a cute little place and although they don't have specific parking for the spa, it was really easy to find street parking. read more

This year I gave myself the gift of a "hot stone massage" with Sundi at Sundhari, my favorite holistic spa. I couldn't have made a better choice. Sundi thought of every detail. The soft lighting and music she selected created an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Every aspect of her massage was exceptional To finish I added the steam which made the experience complete. Leaving relaxed and rejuvenated in mind, body, and spirit, I hope to return soon! I highly recommend giving Sundi's hot stone massage a try! read more

This was a Christmas gift for me from my wife. I waited for a day when my body begged me to be nice to it. Today was that day. Located on Solano Ave just a block up from Safeway, it was easily located. Outside it was clean and inviting and inside even better. In the lobby the first thing I liked was the wonderful aroma from all the soaps and skin care products made with natural ingredients. I lived in Provence and lavender happily welcomed me. There was a very nice lady at the front desk checking in everyone arriving with a smile. From what I observed there was a pleasant exchange between the employees. I immediately felt welcomed and relaxed. Sharon was my therapist. She asked great questions about what I expected and led me to my therapy room. All rooms were ultra clean and ready for the customers. The restroom was immaculate. I chose a Swedish relaxation style for my massage. I have had them for years so I know what to expect. Sharon was engaging and gave me a perfect massage. I would definitely ask for her again. When I came out, my endorphins were raring ... I had that special buzz. Plenty of water waiting. My wife and I compared notes. We shared similar wonderful experiences. It is going to be our go too in the future. It nice to see a happy team working together. The make the customer feel valued. read more

Excellent! Just had a pre-natal massage with Sundi and it was so relaxing and much needed for the aches and cramps I've been feeling in my 2nd trimester. This was my first pre-natal massage, so instead of laying my back, I laid on my side with pillows in front of me, so it felt like I was snuggling the pillows. Once I got in the right position, it was very comfortable and Sundi was still able to massage my back, legs and legs. What I liked most is Sundi's touch - not to hard but a nice firmness to get the knots out. I'll definitely return a few more times as my pregnancy progresses! read more

A hidden gem. From the outside it's hard to tell as you could easily just walk by without noticing, but they have really top notch services, products and expertise. Love that they carry very high end products but also things that are more local and hard to find. Massages are usually really excellent, especially for people that like deep tissue, and pricing is great. Love this woman-owned neighborhood day spa!! Enjoy!! read more

I loved this Sundhari Holistic Spa! The spa was clean, the staff was very warm and inviting, and the building smelled great! My massage was divine and I felt renewed afterwards. The staff was very accommodating and although I made a group reservation on somewhat short notice, they were able to accommodate me and my two friends so that we could all get massages at the same time. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend Sundhari Holistic Spa! read more

A beautiful & peaceful neighborhood wellness spa for self-care! Anh is one of my favorite acupuncturists because her treatments go deep, and I love the moxa she uses to deepen at the needle points, warm my body and get the blood flowing. Her treatments always give me both physical and emotional release and healing immediately, and Chinese medicine provides me with the holistic care I really need. Anh takes great care to listen to what's going on in my life, and always knows the right points to hit to help me feel better! I'm looking forward to checking out the facials, ayurveda and other services when I need some pampering. :) read more

Great 75 min deep tissue massage experience! Took one star off for the price - I paid almost $200 (including tip) and it didn't feel much different from other spas in the area. Felt very clean and accommodating though! read more

Easy to make a reservation online. Came for my appointment and while I waited I enjoyed the space, the lotions etc they were selling and some tea. Massage was relaxing. Back area and massage room was clean and well decorated. Overall peaceful place. read more

I love this spa. It's a lovely little oasis on the bustling Solano Avenue. It's a woman-owned day spa with multiple services which I fully intend to enjoy one of these days, but so far I've only come for lash/brow tinting with Natalie who is AMAZING. She makes my invisible-blond eyebrows look great (color and even shape). I was initially hesitant since having chemicals immediately next to my eyes is scary, but she's so professional and I've had zero issues or concerns. I plan to go back for a facial with Natalie and a massage with one of the other practitioners. We need to support local and women-owned businesses all year but a special shout out during March. #WomenRunTheEastBay read more

I am so thankful I found this gem in North Berkeley. Because I had accumulated many SpaFinder gift cards over the years, I decided to treat myself to a full spa day. I booked a 20 minute steam, a 60 minute facial with Natalie and a 90 minute hot stone massage with Jason. I have a new life goal: own a walk-in shower that also serves as a steam room. You get the whole bathroom to yourself and the steam is a really lovely way to start the day. This spa uses Eminence and Cosmedix products for their facials and Natalie is a pro. She really took the time to look at me skin, ask me what I felt my needs were, and offer recommendations. I've had a few facials in my life and this one was by far the best; my skin was glowing when I left. The 90 minute massage was less relaxing and more therapeutic which is exactly what I needed. Jason really targeted my trouble areas, applied deep and firm pressure, and broke up many knots in my upper back. He checked in with me frequently regarding the pressure and had great communication. In-between my treatments, the staff went above and beyond as the receptionist willingly grabbed me a juice from across the street. The desire to give people a great experience is evident through and through. I will definitely be back. read more

Sundhari Holistic Spa - The steam room - Massage Near Me - Berkeley, California

We had a brief introduction before I drifted off in a cloud of lavender. I relaxed as I inhaled the scent of a forest after the rain. And, finally, I opened my eyes to the scent of a freshly cut orange. In between was the magic of a great massage. It is clear that Susannah's calling is the healing arts. Her skill with aromatherapy was a balm that accompanied my Swedish massage. The ambience of Sundhari and Susannah's quiet explanations of how each of the aromas affected a different chakra grounded me and helped to clear my mind as well as release stress. I had back and shoulder pain that I'd been living with for a year, which made her job even more challenging. But she listened empathetically and responded with just the perfect pressure. She kept the bed warmer on at a temperature of my choosing. Near the end of my 60-minute massage, she massaged each of my feet with hot towels, then wrapped another around my neck like a cradle for my head, which she gently rocked to release my muscles even further. After my massage, I felt calmer, soothed, pampered, and the world seemed friendlier. Frankly, not a thing was missing to make this the perfect massage. And I'm grateful to have had such a marvelous experience. read more

Treatment: Myofacial Deep Tissue 60 mins with Sundi Manny My first time here, will be back. Really great service, from the start, warm friendly staff. The room, ambiance, relaxing music, was the right mood for the massage. Sundi was great, I gave a heads up on where I wanted less / more pressure before the start. Felt good / relaxed afterwards. Will be back! read more

I've had two really great experiences here so far: a massage and a facial. I plan to go back for both! The 90-minute massage was heaven but the facial in particular really surprised me- my skin was definitely improved afterwards and it was extremely relaxing. (I hadn't had a facial in at least five years.) They also sell emailed gift certificates- so handy for a last-minute gift. read more

In short: The practitioners both for massage (Susan) and facial (Holly) were 5 stars. The Facility was 2 Stars. Receptionist 2 Stars. Steam "Room" 2 Star The massage and facial were wonderful. Susan and Holly were just lovely people. Unfortunately the reception and facility didn't match their caliber. The Steam "Room" is really a Steam Shower in their bathroom. If I had paid for it, I'd be actually upset. There was hair in the drain to start. But in the shower there's just a little bench to sit on with a bar in your back. Can't lay down. Can't really get comfortable. Can't call it a steam room when it's a steam shower in their bathroom. The Receptionist couldn't remember when my services were. She also didn't seem to know how to check us out, even though I asked her after the services."Hey are we good?" And then she charged us for the Steam "Room" when it was supposed to be free because we each had two services. Not a big deal but it was clear she didnt know what she was doing and was distracted or something. As I'm moving in between my services in my rob, the hallway door is open which puts you in plain few of the street so anyone in the lobby or walking by the glass storefront can see you. During my facial, an alarm/timer of some kind was going off in the lobby/reception for like 10minutes. Not awesome. Where was the receptionist? Upon entry, they gave us Marshalls branded reusable shopping bags to put our clothes in. Whhhaaaa???? Not exactly on brand or vibe with a Spa (with these prices). Last of all, and this I admit is more of just a design aesthetic, the lobby is overcrowded with products. Its overwhelming. Less is more. All in all, I'd say management needs to have a think about what they are offering and providing and HOW they are coming across. Its all about the fine details for places like this. Again, Susan and Holly were LOVELY and I'd totally go to each of them again, but not here. read more

I started getting massages by Sundi Manny in the middle of 2020. She came highly recommended by one of our mutual friends. The first time I met Sundi I instantly felt at ease and was very comfortable. I have gotten a lot of massages in my life and it is a rarity that I feel comfortable right away. Sundi's massages are AMAZING; it is as if she look inside my body and know where my problem areas are. She uses her hands and intuition to know how hard or soft each of my body parts needs. I never have to voice to her harder/softer pressure. I highly recommend Sundi Manny. She has magic fingers. If I could give her 10 stars I would!! read more

Wow, I received an absolutely amazing facial from Natalie and I am so happy! I'm actually shocked by how amazing my skin looks after the 75 minute rejuvenating facial - I also love the products I purchased - my skin is still glowing! I will definitely be back, thank you so much. read more

Had a really great massage here and they were super friendly helping me decide agar skin care products to use. Great selection

I received a Hydrating Facial from Natalie a few days ago and it was such a magical experience. It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep! Natalie is very experienced and friendly. This was my first time getting a facial and she was extremely gentle and answered every single one of my questions. We discussed my face care routine moving forward, she offered samples and recommended products for my skin type. After my appointment, I could feel my skin breathing again. It is now day three since my facial and my skin is dewy, clear, and moisturized. My blemishes are practically gone, my pores shrunk, and my nose piercing scar is barely visible. I am SO grateful and excited to start my skincare journey at Sundhari Spa. Natalie has also done my eyebrows in the past and they looked defined and natural. She is one of the very few people I trust my eyebrows with. I would definitely recommend Natalie for all your skin care needs. read more

I got a gift certificate here and am so happy to know this place exists. It's got a really peaceful vibe and is super clean. Professional

I had the best massages ever, Aida is the best, I am a repeated customer many time over, money well spent. Love this place, small family's own business. I am gladly to support local and small business. Try the massage and you will become a brand new person!!! AnnR read more

My first massage with Kathryn, OMG it was more than fabulous!! I feel so much better. I would highly recommend her, my massage was deep tissue 1 1/2 hours. Sundhara is beautiful, it has a great atmosphere, the decor is peaceful and welcoming. I cannot say enough about Kathryn and her services. Book an appointment ASAP and be sure to check out the add-on services !! read more

I am so happy I found Sundhari! I came in last week to treat myself to a facial and a massage for my birthday. I found this place because they use Eminence Organics skin care in their treatments, which is one of my favorite brands. I had a 75 minute facial with Natalie that was heavenly. She gave me one of the best facial massages I've ever had -- I almost fell asleep. When she was finished my skin was literally glowing and it's felt so soft and hydrated for days. Afterward I had a 90 minute massage with Catherine that was just as blissful. She was communicative throughout the massage to see how I was feeling and applied the perfect amount of pressure. I almost fell asleep once again. I left my treatment feeling so relaxed it was like I was on another planet. On top of both therapists being amazing at their jobs and having such kind and soothing presences, the front desk concierge Keiki was also so sweet and helpful. They offered me tea and water and had a nice quiet room for me to relax in between treatments. The whole atmosphere of the spa is clean, bright, airy, and tranquil. I can't recommend this place enough and I will be buying my friend a gift card for her birthday as well. If you're looking to pamper yourself, go here! read more

I am so grateful to Sundhari Holistic Spa! Katherine is such a caring and skilled practitioner! Everyone who works here is also so welcoming! Each time I leave from an appointment for an express peel I feel beautiful both on the outside and inside. My skin issues are taken seriously and treated with such comfort and knowledge. The rooms are super relaxing and every visit is a real supportive experience to help me care for my skin! I am also able to use my FSA healthcare insurance and this helps me to be consistent and not stress about money! I highly recommend this warm and healing spa! read more

I have gotten massages from many places in life and many different masseuse but I have to say my experience at this place was phenomenal! Everyone from the lovely receptionist to the wonderful masseuse that worked on me (Catherine) was very welcoming, kind and accommodating. Catherine did an amazing job, that woman truly has healing powers and is worth her weight in gold!! She gave me a therapeutic massage, I felt so rejuvenated and left the place glowing. I will 100% return for more and refer my friends and family there as well. read more

Great spot in Albany. I got a massage there recently and the atmosphere was j credibly relaxing. It was my first massage since the start of the pandemic, and I was a little nervous, but everything was very hygienic and felt very safe. read more

So relaxing! I had a great facial by Holly. Nice-smelling organic products. A little massage as well.

Lovely and welcoming. I would recommend. Clean. Professional. Great atmosphere! Open on Sunday which is a big plus. Susannah was skilled and kind. read more

Natalie is absolutely wonderful. The waxing she provided was top tier. She did my brows, legs and Brazilian and it was virtually painless. I wanted to see if she had time to do my arms, but I didn't want to infringe on her other clients. Her calming presences along with her skill set is head and shoulders above the rest. read more
