With Juliette I didn't experience the sensitivity of my nerves that I typically do with other masseuses, and she was able to locate and work on the source of my pain. Her studio is charming and in location that is easy to park.

I'd love to work with Juliette again and would definitely recommend her!

I called to let them know that I have a Groupon, and they were happy to make an appointment. As we came in, we were greeted by the front desk and was directed immediately to our room.

The massage was very relaxing and hit all the right spots, and they removed all my knots, and we both felt refreshed after the massage. Overall, I will come back here again. Oh, and it's cheaper when you pay cash. They have ample parking and are located at Plaza Sobrante.

I've been experiencing major body aches from traveling and working overtime at the job. I did a quick search on Yelp and found this amazing little hidden gem in my own neighborhood. Communication with Katrina was super easy. She was very informative and answered all my questions promptly. Great vibes from the start. Her studio is very warm and welcoming. I love all the plants and crystals and candles that made it light and airy inside. I requested deep tissue with reiki. If you are open to energy work or on a spiritual awakening/journey, I highly recommend booking. Katrina is very intuitive, and I completely surrendered and trusted that she knew what to do. I told her about my ticklish spots, and she was able to release tension in places I normally don't get worked on because I would be too ticklish. I've never felt that relaxed and safe in a session. I just woke up from a nap and my body is still buzzing and vibrating from the energy work. I feel so much lighter and the tension from my neck and shoulders are gone. Katrina has a special gift and is such an amazing massage therapist/healer. Very highly intuitive and has the best energy. Thank you for being a part of my healing journey. I can't wait to book more sessions in the future

I had a massage with Mimi today, after finding this place on yelp. This was my first Thai massage,…read moreand it was what I wanted/expected. When I arrived, Mimi greeted me, I filled out the standard form, and she brought me back to the massage space. It was an individual, draped-off "room," but only separated from the next room by a set of drapes. The mediation music was relaxing, and Mimi asked me to undress to my underwear and start face-down on the table (normal massage routine). I like deep pressure, and Mimi's technique was deep but not painful. The stretches, particularly the leg stretches, were amazing. Now the interesting part. Because the individual spaces are draped off, I could hear the massage in the next space. I could hear the gentleman groaning (NOT in a gross way, just that his massage sounded extremely deep lol). After a particularly big groan, I heard his massage therapist ask, "are you ok?" and he replied "uh yeah," but his voice cracked like he was crying lol. Mimi told me his therapist was Susie, whose technique is mostly walking, so it's extra deep pressure. Mimi told me her technique is more like spot therapy. Mimi's technique was on point for me, she found a particular knot in my left hip that she said was huge (didn't give me any trouble!), and she explained that because the knot is at the base of my back, it partly leads to the tension I feel in my shoulders and neck. She encouraged me to come back for 90 minutes with Susie to walk it out! lol Mimi had to leave for a minute to help Susie with the credit card machine when her client was done, and Mimi said "he cried for good," lol. Honestly, it DOES make me want to come back and try out Susie!! I ended my session with 30 mins of gua sha, which was equally relaxing. Total price was approx $150 for 60 min Thai massage and 30 min gua sha, which was completely adequate price. I will come back!

This was my first time here, and overall, I had a wonderful experience. I got a little lost trying to find the place, but Lisa was so kind--when I told her I was standing outside the doors of Ranch 99, she actually came out to find me! Even though we started a little after 1 PM because of that, she still honored the full 90 minutes. Lisa definitely gained a new regular...I'll be coming back every 2-3 weeks. The front desk lady was also super pleasant, and I paid $88 for a 90-minute session, which is a great deal. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a good massage or just wants to de-stress. Thank you so much!

They raised their prices, and unfortunately, not for the better…read more I have been a regular customer here for the past few years. I went today (6/25/26) and got a foot reflexology massage, which is now $50 instead of $45. I had a very poor experience. The masseur I had was named Jack, and I was barely massaged at all during the entire session. Instead, he would grip one area of my body extremely hard and hold it there for a long time, or he would poke me very hard with one finger for an extended period. I was barely rubbed anywhere, and when I was, it was mostly with his elbows or knuckles. I even told him that he was being too rough, but he barely lightened up. Also during the entire massage people at the front desk were talking so loud and laughing. This was very uncomfortable to listen to. After the massage, I did not plan on leaving a tip because I was uncomfortable throughout the entire session. As I was leaving, the girl at the front desk demanded that I tip, when i explained i didn't want to she ask if i didn't like the massage. I explained my experience to her, but she continued to insist that I leave a tip. I reluctantly pulled out $5, and she continued arguing with me, telling me I needed to tip more. I do not understand tipping for a service I did not enjoy. She then told me I had to personally give the tip to the masseur, even though he had already left the room. I repeatedly asked if she could simply give it to him, but she kept telling me to go find him myself. When I finally handed him the tip, he said out loud, "Only five dollars?" in Chinese to his coworker. I am honestly so disappointed with this experience that I will not be coming back. I have recommended this place to many people over the years and was even planning to bring another friend here for her first visit. After today's experience, I won't be returning. The girl working at the front desk was extremely rude, the massage was very poor, and the way I was pressured and shamed into tipping was completely unacceptable.

Why choose Rachel?…read more Massage therapy should be a holistic experience that benefits both the mind and body. While massage helps promote relaxation and the release of endorphins, that experience can be diminished if the therapist appears disengaged or unhappy in their work. Whether you prefer conversation or silence, feeling comfortable and cared for is essential. Rachel consistently provides that experience through her warm personality, professionalism, intelligence, and genuine care for her clients. I specifically asked her to address my chronic shoulder pain, and she was able to identify and work on the muscles that were triggering my symptoms. The treatment was targeted, effective, and left me feeling significantly better. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I understand the importance of patient experience and quality care. It's easy to see why people appreciate Rachel's work ethic and the positive environment she creates. Good vibes overall. Thank you, Rachel!

After a single visit, on coming back a month later, she somehow remembered a lot about me - that I practice brazilian jiujitsu, do regular soft tissue work at home, that I have family and business in Orange County. We chatted for at most 10 total minutes during my first visit. It's exactly this type of continuity that I was looking for in finding a massage therapist to go to more regularly. Berkeley has a few great Thai massage places but therapists rarely speak English and they never seem to honor the specific therapist you book. I was looking for someone who will retain information on what I like and what my muscles need, and Rachel is exactly that kind of massage therapist.

The woman, her daughter, and her dog were there. The dog was very loud and barked a lot. Apparently I led the charge because when I got there, there was no one - and in the matter of the hour, I counted four people coming in, and I stopped counting at six interruptions in my massage when she had to go and answer the phone, talk to people in the lobby, get people settled in another room. And every time she answered the phone she told people to come down because it's not busy.... I could have forgiven all of that, and I might have even come back because historically the price has been right. The $50 massage, $10 tip, not bad for someone with no Massage training. But when I was leaving, she stopped me and asked me for $30 tip. She pointed to a new sign that they have that says that a good massage is $20 tip and a great massage is $30... and I'm wondering why would I pay 60% on a substandard massage that was interrupted 6+ times... I leave both excellent and not so excellent reviews here. Unfortunately, today was not so excellent. Would definitely not recommend because you'll be incredibly disappointed, if not incensed! :(

It felt like she was just going through the motions. Not really hitting the right spots. The quality of the massage did not match the price. My experience was worth $50-$60 if that. It was cold in the room but I noticed they had a small space heater in the room which helped. Until I heard someone come in. She stopped the massage to help them then proceeded to unplug and take the space heater out to put in another room I'm guessing. Which I'm sure it took up some of my massage time. As we finished she left the room and I got my things together and started to walk out. I saw her helping someone as I was leaving and she stopped me to ask for a tip. Although I feel like the massage didn't deserve one, I tipped her a little because she asked.... Almost a week has passed now and I have already had 2 strains in my back. I am 25, this does not happen. She really fucked up my back. I love to support small businesses but in my opinion, if you are going to be in the holistic healing field....make sure you know what you're doing.

My range of motion was significantly limited and I was in pain every time I tested those boundaries. I had plenty of massages and acupuncture, but nothing relieved the issue. I decided to give Andreea a call, and I'm so glad I did. Now, bear in mind, this is no zen spa experience. Don't come in here for dim lights and gentle atmospheric piano. I at one point compared it to childbirth (in a learning to be present with discomfort way, not in a dear god there's a human exiting me way). It was intense. But immediately afterward, I sat up and scratched my back. Big whoop, you think? Indeed. I hadn't been able to do so without pain in at least six months. This was an investment, but Andreea got the job done in a single session. I even asked if I needed to come back, and she was completely transparent that she didn't think I needed to, but of course was welcome back if anything came up in the future -- zero upselling pressure. If you're experiencing pain and nothing's worked, I highly recommend getting in here and getting better.
