I love praising good people behind their back and I'm going to do it here so get ready:…read more Tranzend is a woman of color owned and operated small business. A small biz that punches above its weight class and does it all with kindness. I struggled for YEARS not knowing what my diagnosis was and was in a deep struggle with my physical health and mental well being. No one understood me. Health care providers would misdiagnose me multiple times before I found the right fit and would often seek referrals from anyone I trusted to find a massage therapist who could be kind, attune to my diagnosis, and just a good human being. Janice didn't just change my life; she saved it. The work we did together on not just my physical being but my soul was something I can never thank her enough. My financial situation wasn't the greatest either but Janice would insist on making it work and I dare say she would do the same for any of her clients. I don't recollect how many years I would see Janice but it was a lot. Janice is a compassionate and empathetic massage therapist and she has a breadth and depth of expertise that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. If you're not seeing this woman, what are you doing with your life?

My husband found Janice and booked massages for us for our anniversary (we stayed in downtown…read moreSeattle for the occasion). We each had a 60 minute massage in her cozy little studio with the most beautiful rooftop view of the Sound. The massages were great (my introduction to cupping) and Janice is a lovely person. I get massage and other body work done regularly so I've experienced a wide variety of quality. I'm also not the easiest body to work on (very tight, problem spots). I would absolutely come back again. I can't comment about the value because I didn't pay the bill :-) Hubby said her prices were average, though. I'm not complaining about anything because I enjoyed myself and felt great afterward, but setting expectations so no one is disappointed. The massage studio is in a large professional building and shares hall space with other medical professionals. TrandZend is a single massage room, not a full spa experience. Because it's in a professional building, it's locked on weekends and Janice has to come down to let you in (didn't phase us since the sun was shining, but this could mean waiting outside for quite a while). Janice creates a warm, inviting experience, but take note if you're looking for something different. I debated between 4 and 5 stars because it isn't a full spa, etc. but I figure it's the quality of the massage that matters and that was definitely a 5 star experience.

Hands down my favorite place to fix all of my knots, pains, aches from neck, shoulder and back…read more Please request for Briar! Briar is a fantastic massage therapist and I highly recommend the all inclusive package w/ the hot stones and CBD cream. I told them that the massage I had last weekend was just horrible: left me w/ continued aches/sores/tension/knots and it's just getting worse (my back felt hunch over w/ all of the work travels and desk time in the past 4 months). And yes, it's been 4 months since I've seen a massage therapist. The place is humble, super low key, overseeing the marina (windows are tinted and is a one way mirrior film), so no one can look in, but you can look out which is absolutely beautiful. I'd say it's a hidden gem! It won't be as fancy as a hotel spa, but it'll get the job done. You won't be disappointed!

It is one of the best things I've done for myself and my health. They are amazing at adjusting for my needs whether that's injury, stress, or other things as they come up. They also just put in a beautiful relaxation nook with a sauna! Not to be dramatic, but they've fundamentally helped me shift my mindset about my body and pretty much Jedi mind tricked me into actually relaxing. I recommend them to anyone but particularly folks who can go and get a massage one day and have just as much tension the next day like I used to, or who haven't always found people who knew how to work with their body well.

I think what I liked the most is that she is a true therapeutic professional...my time was not shortchanged and I never felt rushed or awkward.

The office was very clean, well-kept and relaxing- her practice is inside a chiropractic office which to me is a good sign! She offers great deals for first time clients as well as referral bonuses.

She is an intuitive body worker, but obviously very skilled with our anatomical build in that she understands the complex networks and kinesiology of muscle, fascia and connective tissue.
