From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owner, who is incredibly kind and professional. She helped me choose a one-hour massage combo, which turned out to be exactly what I needed. My massage therapist, Daisy, was excellent. She was attentive, skilled, and clearly experienced. After the session, I noticed a significant improvement in the pain and tension in my hands and shoulders -- especially from lifting and holding my baby. The spa itself is very clean, the rooms are comfortable, and the atmosphere is calming with lovely-smelling oils that enhance the overall experience.

My husband and I are experienced in getting couple massages and sometimes we look for last minute…read moremassages. We found Sarika on Yelp and they literally have 5 stars (not too many reviews) and thought let's give it a go. Our first visit we requested for a relaxing massage, they said they do Swedish massages and we were like great! However we didn't realize we agreed (in the questionnaire) for the massage therapist to stand on us which was ok but not a Swedish massage, it was a bit much for me and my husband, it turned out to be more of a Thai massage and thought it was our fault since we filled out the form incorrectly. They start you off with a nice foot soak since my husband requested full body massage. For a Thai massage it was good but since it wasn't a Swedish massage it wasn't the relaxation massage we were looking for. Our 2nd visit was another last minute one (Monday night) and we asked for very relaxing 90 min Swedish massage. This massage was like 'oh that feels good' to 'oh no that hurts sooo bad'. It was again more of a Swedish/thai massage even though we specifically requested relaxation (Swedish). I hardly say ouch and I had to say ouch twice. I liked some of the techniques but most of the time it was too hard, fast strokes and a bit messy (especially at the end), like if you're massaging one's head the focal point should start in the middle. At the end of the massage they left our curtain wide open and we are literally naked. I would suggest finding another location if your looking for a Swedish massage. The cost for a 90 min couples massage is $270+. This place has potential. Keep in mind that It is very noisy, you can hear other customers and hear the staff ladies conversing and laughing loudly which is nice that they are having fun but some may not find this relaxing. I wanted to be fair and give a 4 star but to be honest it's more of a 3.5 star (I typically round it off this is why I rated Sarika 4).

Wow! I've been getting regular massages for about 10 years now, with a variety of well trained,…read morecertified masseuses. All have their own styles but there is something fundamentally lacking - they all typically take a one size fits all approach - working from the back down to the legs, then front for a bit and then wrap up. This is even with masseuses I've used many times - I'm guessing the massage establishments just train them that way. However, Karalyn combines massage with PT, really working problem areas and going hard at it. The result - you get the therapeutic benefits of the massage and the science of PT, which drives rapid recovery where you really need it. As only a rare and excellent massage can deliver, I ended light-headed and felt like jelly. As only great PT can deliver, I felt lighter on my feet afterwards with a cleaner posture and wider range of motion (and less pain and injury risk). All this from the convenience of home.

Being an athlete, I don't have the same mobility as I do after seeing Jasmin. I am much more flexible and much more able to stretch after her massage. She will seek out tension, pain points and knots and work through those areas accordingly. The tightness and painful areas I come in with are not always the areas she spends the most time on, but it ends up being just what I needed because those areas have the most relief afterwards. I attribute it to her knowledge of physiology. During the last session I felt deep tension released in my hips and then some nausea due to releasing stored toxins. She used amazing smelling organic medicinal oils and it took me right out of feeling sick. She's very intuitive about the work she's doing and knows when and what oils and medicinal scents to use. Her massage is very fluid. She's great at using her elbows. In fact, it's definitely the best elbow work I've ever had. She will help you relax your body through the deep work. She helps work through it with breathing and other techniques. Sometimes tricking your body with movements from her other hand while her elbow releases a trigger point somewhere else. I would not be able to relax my body without her guidance. I haven't cried on the table with her work, but if I was more tense I probably would have, so I really value the ability she has to relax the body through words and other techniques. With all of the different modalities used, tied together with a great presence, pressure and touch, it ends of being a very effective and therapeutic massage every time.

I live so far away that the odds of me going to her if I ever did want a massage were really low. But I happened to be in the area with some free time and was looking for a massage. Jackie actually massages like I hope/expect a massage therapist to do it. She finds and fixes problems whereas all the other massages I've gotten just feel like they're rubbing me in a fancy way until time is up.

Jackie really knows how to apply pressure and massage effectively. Even though I live so far away (close to SF), I still go down there for massages because Jackie is awesome.

My overall impression was that the business owner was unprepared for my visit and had an employee who isn't actually trained in massage perform the massage.
