Tiya is one of the best massage therapists I have ever met. I had major back pain for years and she was able to help me to fix that. Highly recommend her service. read more

Tiya was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I don't usually go for massages and have had mixed experiences in the past but this was a very pleasant surprise. Tiya is incredibly kind, flexible, and fairly priced. She offers great customer service and is an expert masseuse. I have gone back several times now and am always happy with her service. She remembers her customers, is always positive, and never disappoints. Highly recommended! read more

Tiya gives the best massage in the Bay Area in my opinion! I have been seeing her for more than a year now and I'm getting addicted :-). One of my favorite things about her is that she is pretty strong, so she can give a very good massage for a young man like me looking to ease tension and pain deep in the muscles. The place is clean, roomy and only few blocks from downtown Mountain View. She is also a very nice person, always available to accommodate for my busy schedule, and she does not look at the watch too much like I have seen in other places: I'm often late 5-10 min on my appointment, and if her schedule is clear after me, she will keep going to give me one full hour. Working hours are pretty good too, she is open till late in the evening in the weekdays, perfect for busy people. If you are looking for a massage, look no further, but DO NOT take my spot :-) read more

I am a 13 year old boy and I had a shoulder injury. I went to physical therapy and it didn't work. I went to Tiya and her massage was magical. Within 3-5 massages I was back to playing again. This is a very good place to go and totally recommend going there. read more

Well the other reviews don't lie, if you want to get a top notch massage and actually fix your body, come here. Don't expect a relaxing spa experience. She is very kind and knowledgeable and really listens to your body. She uses her hands not her elbows . The day after my deep tissue massage I was sore like I had a good gym workout the previous day but then the day after, my body felt better than it has in years. I'm going to try and make this a once a month experience as part of a balanced healthcare regimen. I'm already recruiting others to go to her because I think anyone that works in Silicon Valley owes it to themselves so we can move when we're older. read more

Pros: very flexible hours, often same day appointments, lots of experience, works really hard and caters to your specific needs, very reasonable pricing cons: zero ambiance, the place is VERY dingy, not sure about hygiene (you get what you pay for!), very chatty in the beginning. As another reviewer warned, she fell asleep while massaging me. I don't blame her, she works really really hard. But still, falling asleep while massaging a client? Does she even remember the sequence of her massages? Does she remember my trigger spots and needs after dozing off? I don't know. Overall, given that she fell asleep, I would say she's alright. But if she hadn't, I would give 4 stars because she really needs to fix up her place. read more

I started visiting Tiya about two months ago to work on some issues that had been preventing me from doing long distance running. The results have been amazing! I have been getting massages regularly for the last 5 years or so, but Tiya is by far the best deep tissue masseuse that I have ever had. She was able to find my trigger points on my first visit. After just a few appointments, I have been able to build up my running distance for the first time in years. She has an incredible healing touch! read more

What an incredible experience! We were looking for a massage therapy for my children because they do year round competitive sport. My children complained some muscle pain and soreness. Luckily my wife found Tiya on the very last page here. We decided to give a try and it was incredible. It's better than our expectation. She found many problems and fixed them all. My kids now get stronger and faster due to the fact that their muscles are healthy. My wife also had problem on her back and leg. She also decided to try and it was very good. She had her chiropractor to adjust her bone alignment but her muscle got used to the bad position so Tiya fixed it. It's amazing how my wife walked with normal posture back home without grabbing her hamstring. Then I decided to try too because I spend lot of time driving. My right legs and glute feel pain from stepping on gas and brake pedals in traffic. Tiya did deep massage and it's painful but I feel really good after the session. I may have to see her every once in a while due to the driving. She also fixed my shoulder that got injured in snowboard crash a year ago. My shoulder will need more time to heal since the injury happened a year ago. At least I found Tiya to help me. If you have any issue with your body, you should see her quickly. Don't wait like me. It's much easier to get it fix early. read more

I had a great time at Tiya's. The massage was really good for relieving some Lower back pain I had from spending all those hours sitting at work. Tiya really knows how to apply pressure at the correct points and it feels like she has some great experience. I would surely come back here ! read more

I started having these massive headaches that doctors did not know what to do about. I called Tija, and she basically knew what to do before I could even finish the sentence. She said she will heal me, and she did! She really knows her craft and what is most important she cares about your well being. She does not just massage, she tries to heal you. Highly recommend. Tija is, by far, the best massage therapist I've ever had. read more

It's been a little less than a year since I last saw Tiya (with two kids, I've been busy). The last three months have been intense for me, especially physically. I am at the gym before the sun is out 6 times a week and twice a week I go to the gym twice a day. It's taken a toll on my body. Well, Tiya did it again. She relieved the discomfort I was feeling in my shoulders and was able to pinpoint exactly where my tension spots were. And although working through my muscles didn't always feel pleasant or relaxing, the result of Tiya's hard work resulted in the best night sleep I've had in weeks and a general overall refreshed feeling today. Thank you Tiya for being an amazing healer! On another note, aside from being good at what she does, Tiya is a wonderful person. Very kind, genuine and professional. Yes, it's no tranquil, zen-like atmosphere, but it doesn't matter because she's just that good. read more

Cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Tiya. After spending three weeks with neck, shoulder and lower back pain, I finally bit the bullet and went to go make an appt w a chiropractor. 2 doctors and 1 massage therapy session later, still no relief. Finally I went to Tiya's and after an hour long session, felt the relief I've been craving. No frills experience but I come for pain relief in a comfortable environment, no need for fancy schmancy bells and whistles. Beware - if relief is what you crave and you have a lot of tension, it will be painful at times, but all for a good result. Talking to Tiya and hearing her stories is also incredibly therapeutic. Only compliant is that I received a notice on my car (see photo) when I was parked in the designated lot behind the bldg. Perhaps they didn't think there would be anyone from the bldg parking there at 8p on a Sunday evening? Strange. Anyways, Tiya is phenomenal - great physical, mental and spiritual therapy session! read more

The best massage therapist I've ever visited. Tiya has helped me feel better and be better. She is thoughtful, caring, and she works to heal and balance. I will continue to see her for as long as I can. Tiya is simply the best! read more

Tiya gives very good massages. She works on the knots until they are almost gone. I think she is one of the best kept secrets of Mountain View. read more

I've been going to Tiya for 5 years. Her healing hands continue to be an integral part of my health. She's the only person I go to for deep tissue massages. Not only can she bring on the pressure, she admininsters it in the proper manner where I'm not in pain after the massage. Tiya really knows the human body. She'll detect ailments with her hands and energy work that I didn't tell her about or even know that I had. She has succeeded in loosening tight muscles where many other massage therapists have failed (or even made it worse). She is worth far more than the rates she charges!! read more

Tiya is great!!! This was my first time here however i was recommended to come her by one of her regulars. She knows how to fix your trouble areas and not in a painful way. She's very nice and such a good person. I'd definitely recommend coming here to get a massage. I would recommend making an appointment though. read more

Tiya has given me the best massages I've ever received. Here's my story: 7 months ago, I hurt my back in the gym and started to have pain standing and even putting on my socks. Imagine being a young athletic guy and having that happen to you. I went to several chiropractors, massage therapists, and physical therapists who all told me the usual "take it easy, don't work out, do these stretches" which NEVER worked. One therapist after a 20 minute assessment even told me that my hip ligaments were permanently damaged and that I would suffer those symptoms for the rest of my life. Enter Tia. On a whim, I was looking for massage therapists who do trigger point therapy and found her number. After the first session I had with her, I knew that something had definitely changed in my body. My lower back wasn't constricting in the same way. But, because I had the injury for so long, I was a little apprehensive and booked a few more sessions over the next week. It turns out that there were a bunch of trigger points in my back that were causing the issue all along and Tia was able to massage them out with her expert touch. If you're dealing with bodily pain or dysfunction from athletic injury, Tia is definitely your go to. There's a reason she gets all these good reviews. She knows her stuff better than any of the other "credentialed professionals" I paid thousands to out of pocket. read more

Just came back from a deep tissue Tiya healing session and I feel great! I've been going to Tiya once in a while as needed and always feel good afterward - unchanged since my last review. However, this time I feel like I have to write another review... Yesterday, unexpectedly, I felt my upper back, neck and shoulders start locking up gradually and steadily throughout the evening. Feeling the discomfort, I tried to roll it out with my trusty rumble roller and went to bed early to try and relax it. It didn't work... 4am I woke up with an immensely painful yet stiff neck and back! I could not move. At that point, I was tired enough that I thought I would try and sleep it off. Perhaps I managed to escape Medusa's glare, but wasn't quick enough and it still got me in the back during my escape. By morning, I could barely move my head nor get out of bed! The only way I could get up was to grab the back of my neck, support it and then slowly roll out of bed. Desperate, I reached out to Tiya thinking that if she was too busy, I would have to find someone else to help me. Thank goodness Tiya was able to fit me in today! Tiya meticulously, yet skillfully worked on the trouble area for the entire session. I left feeling much better and had a little bit more motion in my neck. As I'm writing this review, the stiffness continues to melt away and I've regained most of my motion in my neck, feeling much better and immensely glad Tiya was around to save the day! read more

I've been seeing Tiya for over a year now, and I hadn't written a review until now. She is the BEST massage therapist I've ever seen. I'm not just saying that. I yelped her when I first moved to the area, and I've been going to her since. She knows exactly the areas you are in need of massage, and she hones in to really fix the muscle that is hurting/damaged! She works for the entire hour, and her deep tissue massage really heals. Her Yelp score is high for a legit reason. :) read more

I've tried a couple massage therapists until my friends recommended Tiya to me. Oh man, she have magical hands! Her massages greatly relieved my back pain, and she knows how to take out the "trigger points" in my body to help relax my muscles. Now I visit her regularly, and have recommended her service to a couple other friends -- they all loved it. read more

She's great and quite entertaining! After trying every kind of approach known to man, in addressing the pain I've been dealing with. In ni time Tiya finds the right trigger points and works the crap out of them until I can barely handle the pressure. Once I hop off the table I couldn't believe the difference it made. I haven't walked or felt so light in a very long time. Thanks Tiya, I'll be back. read more

Tiya always does a wonderful job. She always works out the toughest knots in my neck, shoulders and back and makes it feel like new! Best of all her rates are affordable. I have, and will, continue to go back :) read more

I have been going to Tiya for over a year. She is a top notch therapist and has solved many issues with my aching muscles. She has a great understanding of the muscular system and really throws herself into the massage. Her hands are adapt at finding the distress and healing it. She is magical and wonderful!!!! She has many years experience working at major resorts in her natrive fiji. Tiyas office is kept neet and clean and quiet with lots of free parking. If you have any soreness what so ever I strongly suggest her service. At $50 per hour you get service that is worth much more. read more

It was in 2005, when I first experienced getting a Deep tissue massage from Tiya. And ever since then, Tiya has become part of our family. Tiya posseses so many qualities, but one, that I have cherished for many years is her deep love and devotion towards my 82 years old mother, whose Demise in july 2012 left all of us very sad . When Tiya realized that due to my mother's age, it was getting difficult for her to visit her salon, she offered to come to our home on regular basis to be my mother's devoted masseuse . Tiya's positive attitude not only kept mom happy, but also contributed towards her well being. Our mother used to anxiously wait for Tiya's visits during all these years . whether it is a sport's massage or a Swedish massage, My children and I still love getting them from our sweet Tiya . My boys love getting special treatment from Tiya after playing Squash. Tiya carries a very professional mannerism. Her Salons always have been up to the highest levels of hygiene and safety towards her clients. Tiya works to the best of her flexibilities to meet with your schedule, which in my case is very rare to meet as I operate a full time preschool. I highly recommend Tiya's touch to those who enjoy professionalism in their lives!!! read more

My dad was suffering from low back pain for a month. He was taking Vicodin but it was still not relieving pain completely. I referred him to Tiya and in just 1 massage he got total complete relief and he was back to doing his regular chores the next day ... He wants to thank Tiya for the excellent job she did :-) read more

Tiya is absolutely amazing, such a great find. I've been seeing her for the past seven years, and I won't go anywhere else for my massages. I've suffered from scoliosis my whole life, and prior to finding Tiya, had tried several chiropractors and countless massage therapists. Now, my back pain is almost non-existent anymore. Tiya is one of those amazing massage therapists who just has an intuition for how best to help her clients. She is professional and very skilled. I love going to her because I always leave feeling so much better! read more

I've gone to Tiya once, and I've already booked her again. She was able to release my very tense upper back area, and no part of the massage was painful or uncomfortable. Her massage was the best I've had in a while. Afterwards, my upper back area was sore in a good way and I could feel that toxins were releasing from my muscles. Tiya's massage was good enough to go deep without being painful and because of the results, I feel confident that Tiya's Touch is really therapeutic. read more

Tiya is amazing! Unlike all the amateurs giving massages Tiya knows exactly what she's doing. She made all my knots go away and I immediately felt better! Thanks Tiya read more

Tiya is the best! I've been visiting her to get my neck treated. After the first three visits itself my neck started feeling more relaxed and I got fewer migraines. After a few months now I rarely get migraines and my back and neck are much better. I still visit her and consider these trips as tuning the body for the hard labor of a sedentary job. read more

I will recommend Tiya to everyone who needs a message. I've been there three times. I tried several messages around mountain view and Sunnyvale. Tiya is the best among them. She is the first one find the root cause of my shin pain except my physical therapist. Also she explained her message method to you. And based on my knowledge of kinesiology, her method is reasonable. I strongly recommend her message to people live in this area. read more

I have been to Tiya's twice. Both time I had deep tissue massages. My body was experiencing a lot of tension around the neck, shoulder, arms and legs while caring for a love one at the hospital for a week. It was so discomforting that I had a hard time fall asleep at night. Throughout the session, I kid you not that I was constantly making noise from the pain. Unlike others who would just "make it comfortable" and deviated from the deep tissue, Tiya was very professional and continue to encourage me and adjust her strength throughout the session. She assure me that in two days I will feel a lot better. And she was absolute right! I will definitely return to Tiya's place again. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not your typical get pamper decorative place. The room is very minimal. Instead of the AC, Tiya has a fan on all time. I am sometimes bother by the fan and asked Tiya to adjust it. That being said, the facility works great for me as I rather pay for the service than the interior design. read more

Tiya is very knowledgeable and very sweet. She genuinely cares about the well being of her clients and she is helping me out with my long term back problems and I am seeing a lot of improvement after trying a bunch of chiropractors and other massage places. 100% would recommend. read more

Love Tiya and her trigger point massage therapy . Must visit if you have a sore in back or any painful body part

I had the deep tissue massage. Clearly a highly skilled therapist. Knows her anatomy, and from the first moment she laid hands on me I knew she knew how to massage. Strong mastery of deep tissue techniques, graston/friction massage (she doesn't use a tool just her hands and arms), Swedish, and stretching/mobilization. Extremely gifted at finding trigger points and producing release. I honestly don't know how she finds the trigger point so quickly and stays on top of it as it moves, she really "cuts" and "planes" into the muscle belly well. This will probably be a painful massage, but it will be healing as well. This is a place for body work, not pampering. Clean and professional, if a unique personality. This is more of a "tell the masseuse your problems let her decide how to massage you" experience. She is very good and knows what she's doing. Will be returning. I would recommend bringing your own water bottle if you get thirsty after massage, as the ones she has are quite small. read more

I can't recommend Tiya enough. She is very knowledgeable about pressure points/trigger points, some of which have haunted me for years. She is also very strong, and for someone like me who loves intense pressure, it couldn't be better. Having said this, if you are more in the mood for relaxation than for deep tissue, Tiya is also very excellent. Easily the best value in the area for a healing massage, and super convenient for anyone in the Mountain View area. read more

A few months back, I had this terrible leg pain that wouldn't go away. A friend who gets massages quite often told me that he had found a new masseuse who was cheaper and better than anything he had before. I asked for a rec, and I'm super glad I did. Tiya always finds trigger points I didn't even know I had, and after the first two days (recovery period), I feel a lot better! read more

My husband found Tiya first over a year ago, when he was struggling with the symptoms of a frozen shoulder. Somehow Tiya fixed him in two sessions. I decided to give Tiya a try earlier this year as I was experiencing tightness in my shoulder and back and just couldn't shake it with my regular massage treatments. Tiya was strong, sensed my problem areas right away, and worked her way through the tight spots (as well as the trigger points). I've enjoyed her so much that I brought my child to see her as well. And yes, I had read the reviews before seeing Tiya, and thought she had fallen asleep on me during my first session as well. I actually asked her if she was asleep, and she explained that she was drained from my blocked energy pathways (and often had to snap her fingers to clear the blocks). I believed her and saw her consistently slow down at my blocked spots during the first and the next few sessions, and I felt better after she 'cleared my blocks.' English is not Tiya's first language and understandably I could see why some reviewers might view her as not being as polished as she should have been. Tiya is direct, friendly and surely no frills. Her place is not big but very clean and quiet. I agree with all the 5-star reviews, and I plan to return on a regular basis. Please give Tiya a try if you are suffering with pain. She does know what she is doing. To me, she is more of a healer than a massage therapist. read more

Tiya really knows how to fix back muscles issues. I had thrown out my back and within two sessions it was back to normal.

Best massage in over a year of trying to find a therapist. Highly recommend. Very experienced with strong fingers and hands.

Tiya's Touch is AMAZING!!! My sister in law has lower back pain for more than 20 years, she also had a major car accident years ago that aggravates her existing pain. She travels a lot, gets massages at the places she visited. Last month she came visit me, she was in a lot of pain after helping around with a wedding. So she went to Tiya for the first time before she got on the plane. She called me a few days later saying that Tiya's massage relieved a lot of her pain in only 1 time treatment which enables her to move around easily since then. she's never had this experience before. Tiya's massage technique is AMAZING! read more
