April is one of a kind…read more I had the unfortunate experience of moving away from this area. At our last session April said I would find another. I am here to say, after a year of searching, no one has come within striking distance of April. As corporate girlie and reluctant driver I spend a lot of time in the same position. Bra straps are not padded for some reason. Additionally, I am one of those people who enjoys being tenderized. I know that is not for everyone but I have never requested light pressure. April is intuitive, her strategy is flawless and restorative. I would float back to work from our sessions, glowing brighter than the sun in OB. I visited other therapists there, April is worth shifting your schedule. My biggest regret is not having at least one 90 minute session but she was easily my favorite biweekly self care appointment. I would teeter on the edge of awareness and sleep with her ability to release the tension from my neck, shoulders and hands. I'm sure I did sleep a few times because I was finally able to relax. "Everyone wants to work in tech"/s for me it is stressful mitigating a constant state of panic over beep boops. I have difficulty letting go and focusing on myself even for a moment. April gave me that. Until I visit San Diego again I will be endlessly searching for an irreplaceable experience. Thank you April. I hope all your days are filled with joy.

April was amazing! She was able to fit me into her schedule last minute and I am so thankful. She…read morewas so attentive, receptive, and released muscles I didn't even know existed. Will be back again and again!

My husband and I use them for birthday and anniversary pampering and they have been consistently excellent. They come early to set up and are always friendly. It's so nice to have them come to you so that after the massage when you are relaxed you don't need to get up and drive home but can just stay in a relaxed state at home. It also saves time when we have limited time without out kiddo. The tables, heating pads, sheets, blankets, etc. make the experience very similar to what you'd get going out, and they bring the music, essential oils, everything needed-I'm always so impressed at their efficiency! Honestly, I don't know if I will ever go out for a massage again. The quality, convenience, and competitive pricing make it just too good to go anywhere else! Highly HIGHLY recommend if you like massages.

I've been getting regular massages from Candy for years now and it has helped improve my chronic back pain and has been a huge stress reliever in my life! She truly has a profound way of moving stagnant energy out of the body. Over the last year, I began getting facials (something I have never been inclined to do), and not only has my skin improved, but my knowledge base on the importance of skincare and having a solid at home routine has been significant! Her facials are effective and relaxing. She offers products and add ons but she never pressures me like so many other self-employers do, which I really appreciate. Candy's treatment room is calm, peaceful, and inviting. I highly recommend her for routine self-care, treating yourself, or a wonderful gift for someone in your life! read more

Candy is phenomenal! No matter how stressed I am walking in I feel 1000 times better afterwards. She is able to work out all of my kinks and find that perfect pressure level I need. I have also gone to her multiple times for waxing. Shes makes me feel very comfortable during the whole process and the results are so smooth! My sister has gone to her many times for facials and she loves them. I will definitely be scheduling one soon as well. Check her out! read more

My skin was glowing I barely used any make up! Such a beautiful space to relax and be pampered or have some deep deep love for your skin happen. Long term client for sure! read more

I typically don't write reviews, but my experience with Gale (the spa owner partnered with Body and…read moreHealthcare & Spa) was so dangerous that I feel obligated to warn others. During my visit, Gale performed a Japanese Reiki session so recklessly that it caused actual injury. What was meant to be a gentle, healing energy practice turned into a painful and upsetting experience that left me physically hurt. I went in for relaxation and left injured. It was clear during the session that Gale lacked the basic competence to be performing this kind of bodywork. As if that weren't enough, Gale's daughter Chloe--who also appears to work at or around the spa--engaged in deeply unprofessional conduct with my husband. She made inappropriate comments such as "I want white babies" and created an extremely uncomfortable environment for him through her coercive and boundary-crossing behavior. No client should have to navigate unwanted advances or pressure while trying to relax and receive services. To make matters worse, the overall environment felt completely unprofessional. A spa should be a place of trust and safety; this was the opposite. Body and Healthcare & Spa should be ashamed to associate their brand with people who run such an unsafe and inappropriate operation. Do not trust these individuals with your safety. Go somewhere that actually respects client well-being and knows how to maintain basic professional boundaries.

Tairah is seriously magical! My husband and I love getting regular massages and have seen a lot of…read moretherapists over the years, but Tairah is far and away our favorite. Every massage is slightly different as she is tuned in to how your body is responding. She spends the time before each session to talk through how you're feeling, if you have any specific concerns or new pain points, and if you have specific outcomes for the session, and she reflects back on her notes before the next session. She has even given both of us great tips on stretches and self care for in between our massage appointments. The massages in and of themselves are incredible, but her add-ons are great too. We've each done cupping, hot stone, and CBD on different occasions and loved them all. I think our biggest struggle is which add-on and whether to do 60 mins or go for 90 mins of bliss! I referred a friend to Tairah and she texted me right after to tell me it was the best massage she'd ever had, so we are not alone in our love for Tairah. Schedule your appointment now...it will be the best thing you have done for your body and wellness!

I have to say this is the most amazing massage I've ever had! The woman used a couple techniques I'd never had before and a few of my favorites. I was incredibly relaxed even when she was doing the deep work. She took the time before we started to find out why I was there, not just what was physically bothering me but any stress I was carrying. I went in with lower back, neck, and shin pain as well as nervous/anxious energy about an upcoming event I didn't feel prepared for. I walked in a ball of nerves and pain and left floating. I felt emotionally clearer and physically pain free. I will definitely be back again. Gonna make this a regular monthly treat.
