I met Tamar through craigslist. She has a very kind and soft spoken voice. I live in the San Jose area and needed a mobile therapist and she was able to get me booked in a really short amount of time. I feel really blessed to have met/found her. She's a gifted LMT and her hands are so very intuitive. I just had a session and I can finally turn my head side to side without pain. Thank you Tamar! I've had lots of massage therapists over the years. I'm also a former LMT myself (though retired many many years). I'd like to think I have a good gauge for high quality bodywork. That is what Tamar is gifted with. Her understanding and practical application, shows the time and energy she's invested in her education. Super Bonus is her bedside manner. She's sweet and kind and supportive. She cares about her clients. She doesn't bring any drama to my home. Instead she brings good energy and healing. I look forward to our next session soon! read more

Recently three of my friends and I were in Aptos for a girls weekend and had Tamar come to the house for a surprise 90 minute massage for our friend's birthday and then 3 back to back 60 minute massages. She spent 4.5 hours massaging and each one was PERFECTION! Her technique was spot on, she is so friendly and positive and is an AMAZING masseuse. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

I was recently visiting my son in Santa Cruz and got a muscle spasm in my back. After seeing Tamar's GREAT reviews I contacted her and learned just how DESERVED those reviews were. She was able to get me in the next day. After my wonderful massage my back felt significantly better. By the next day it felt exponentially better. I know I avoided many days of back pain by having Tamar treat it right away. On top of being incredibly skilled and intuitive, she is kind and makes one feel comfortable around her. Thanks so much Tamar. I have had hundreds of massages in my life and this is right there with the top ones! read more

Tamar was a dream to work with! Eleven of us stayed in the area to celebrate a friends birthday. We where hoping to all have massages so I reached out to Tamar and she got back to me right away, found two other masseuses and came to our rental home. Quick and helpful responses during coordination of 11 massages. She and her team came on time and provided us with the most amazing massages. Our whole group was so thrilled with their massages. Just the best!! If I find myself in the area again I would all Tamar again for sure! read more

Fantastic massage! Great focus on problem areas and incredibly relaxing Highly recommend Tamar!

I saw Tamar in Summer ol2020 and we moved from the area and I'll be back visiting and will go to see her again, that's how much I loved her massage! Kind and professional. read more

After visiting Tamar last week end in Capitola, I realized I should update my review. After a few years of using Tamar's services, I still consider her the best therapist I have had. She has amazing technique and it just works for me so well. I'm a larger size woman and I feel totally comfortable with Tamar. It's worth the 90 minute drive to see her for me. Highly, highly recommend her services. read more

Amazing! Professional, kind, and oh so talented. She came to our condo and gave my husband and massages. Great escape!

Tamar and her colleague, Stephanie, came to my house for our yearly Ladies Weekend. My 3 besties and I desperately needed some self-care and I just knew that Tamar would deliver exactly what we needed. It was BY FAR the best massage I had ever received, and my cohorts were equally impressed. They arrived at 11am, on the dot, and had everything with them to make this a wonderful cherry-on-top for the weekend. Both therapists were very conscientious of the fact that most of the group had not gotten massages for a very long time, and therefore may not be used to extra pressure or specific work on pressure points. They were incredibly kind and thoughtful and asked (throughout each woman's alotted 60 minutes) if we were okay with the pressure used. It was pure heaven and they left us feeling relaxed, loose, free, and ready for more 40-something-ladies-weekend-shenanigans. I will not hesitate to book more sessions with Tamar for myself and I definitely want them back next year for Ladies Weekend 2022. It was nothing short of perfection read more

Tamar came to our place in Pajaro Dunes and did back to back 90 minute massages for myself and my husband. That's three hours of massaging and each minute was fabulous. My husband tends to be very particular about his massages and when he got off the table, he was elated. I would highly recommend Tamar's services. Her pricing is reasonable and she is really, really good at what she does. We are very much looking forward to our next visit. read more

Had a wonderful experience with Tamar. Made me feel welcome and warm. Had water and quick easy direction. Thanks so much and will recommend.

I have been seeing Tamar for massages for several years and she is outstanding. I've referred numerous friends to her who also agree she is excellent. She is professional, talented and offers flexible appointments. Highly recommend her! read more

I have now had the privilege of receiving several massages from Tamar and each experience was excellent! She is highly skilled at work that feels deep while still being relaxing. Tamar also gives amazing lomi lomi massages, which are like being rocked by powerful, yet gentle ocean waves. She is knowledgeable, kind, and her presence has a unique way of putting one at ease. A session with Tamar is always a treat!! read more

We have used Tamar for private, in home massage therapy for several years. She is eager to expand her knowledge and master new methods of massage therapy; someone who recognizes the importance of always honing her practice. A dedicated professional and a delightful person, we highly recommend Tamar! read more

Tamar is fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body. She has given me many excellent massages, and I will continue to see her in the future. Tamar has a calming affect, and really understand my needs- from needing just an overall relaxing massage to addressing a particular injury or health concern. Her place is clean, welcoming and friendly. I feel extremely lucky to have her work on/with me. I have worked with so many kinds of alternative medicine over the years- and truly find her gift healing. She is an amazing listener and truly cares about her clients well being. She brings great energy to the session, and I feel much better for days on end after seeing her. read more

Very caring and compassionate. if you're looking to get nourished along with deep relaxation, Tamar is the person you want to see.

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Tamar Leffert, of Capitola, as a certified massage expert. I had my first session in Spring 2018 with Tamar, and was immediately impressed by the calming ambience in the space she is able to create for her clients. Soft music, comfortable massage table (I've had some horrible ones), and her great touch. The massage is masterfully done, and she is able to apply considerable pressure to problem areas, if that is what is necessary and/or desired, this is not always a given with many massage experts or physical therapists. Since my first visit I was very interested to return, and I have done so now at least 4 times since then. It has been a wonderful gift to myself every time, and I look forward to every session. read more
