Valerie is hands down, THE BEST! Not only that she's amazing at her craft. She is so nice and so funny! I am so glad I found her and will vouch for her for the rest of my life. To give you some insights, I am very picky and very particular and now I see her twice a month. She is a part of my monthly budget! Lol I've only had one other masseuse that I swear by but due to moves and locations. The distance was too far. It took me 3 years to comb through soooo many masseuses; one that understands muscles and how to manipulate it properly, it is so difficult to find a legit therapist! I'm a pretty active person also works a lot at my desk. Not only that, but I have fibromyalgia, which means I'm often in pain. But she saves me every single time!!! I really don't want to share her lol but if I don't want to gate-keep this beautiful woman. I wish that everyone could learn from her and we won't have to be disappointed again while laying on a massage table (being angry) hahah Once again, THE BEST!!! read more

Valerie is a treasure and absolutely amazing!! All the 5 star reviews are legit. I saw her one time back in 2021 for a 1.5 massage. Haven't seen her since until recently (not because she wasn't good, but because I didn't think I needed to go if I wasn't in pain). Well 3 weeks ago, I hurt my back pulling out weeds for 2 days straight. I thought it would get better but was still in so much pain after 6 days. I could feel so many knots in my lower back and my lat was so stiff. I remembered Valerie from way back and how good she was. She got me in the next day for a 60 min session. She was just as amazing as I remembered her to be. I felt so much better after and within a few days my back pain was gone. I just saw her again today for a 90 min session, this time for all the knots in my traps but she worked on the whole body. Loved it! Val is so consistent, I highly recommend the 90. My shoulder, traps and neck were full of knots and so crunchy and the relief after is night and day. I finally feel normal haha. I don't think we realize how much we put up with regarding knots, pain, and stiffness. I have such a different outlook on massages now. I always viewed it as a treat but now I see it as preventative treatment, self-care, and upkeep. Thank you Valerie! read more

The best and highest quality massage I've ever received and I'm super picky, If you want the best deep tissue work and true healing go see Valerie!! read more

I've been coming to Valerie for some time now! She does an amazing job each and every single time i go. She's so good at what she does and she just always makes sure to check up on you and see how you are doing. She makes me feel so relaxed and not think about nothing else. I highly recommend Valerie for anyone that has never gotten a Deep tissue Massage. She's so delicate and gentle and amazing at what she does! Valerie deserves 100 stars because 5 is just not enough! Give her a try you won't regret it! read more

Valerie is truly the real deal when it comes to deep tissue massage. She puts so much care and attention into every session, taking the time to really work through the body in a way that feels both intentional and deeply restorative. After years of bouncing around different massage places, never quite satisfied, I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I've been coming to Valerie for the past few years and haven't looked back since. Her warm, gentle energy creates such a welcoming space and each experience feels personalized and focused. It's always such a treat to myself every time I get to see her and it's so worth it! Stop wasting time by going elsewhere if you're looking for someone who genuinely and is an expert in the field, especially deep tissue! read more

I'm so glad I found Valerie! My back was aching and I needed a massage with a soft touch so I messaged Valerie and she was so quick to respond and worked with my schedule. The day before the appointment I got a reminder text and I loved that! She's located inside Salon Lujon in downtown Fullerton. The inside was so clean and nice. Valerie took her time with the massage and I felt so great afterwards. The little knots in my upper shoulders and neck were gone. She has such a gentle touch and is a sweetheart. I will be back for more massages with Valerie. Totally recommend. read more

Valerie's Body Restoration - The waiting area - Massage Near Me - Fullerton, California

I tried to shop around for a good massage therapist and I found her. This is the first time I went to her, and when she started doing the massage it felt relieved. I did the deep tissue massage, it is intense but very good. The place is cozy, very inviting. Definitely will come back and recommend to my friends and family. read more

I'm floating and pain free =) After having an ankle injury in August iv been dealing with leg and hip pain since. It's constant pain that interferes with my daily life of working out, standing for long hours, driving and even doing my job. My Friend referred me to Valerie and so glad she did. Valerie got to work, breaking up my knots and releasing muscle tension. It was that good pain that I needed and it was worth it. I want to say it was half way through the massage that I started to feel that massage high of deep relaxation within the muscles, the best feeling ever. Her massages are deep but she can always change the pressure if you need her to. Anyways I feel GREAT and normal again. Definitely coming back for a 90min massage. Don't think about it... book your massage!!! read more

I first saw Valerie when I was in excruciating pain with sciatic. I couldn't lie down flat, I was in a ball of pain. Within three weeks, I was able to lay down on the table. She is amazing!!! She had magic hands! She is kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. My sister is a Marvelous massage therapist, who lives in Denver, so I can't see her. Valerie has the same excellent skills and has changed my life. I am so very blessed to have met her and couldn't give a higher recommendation. read more

Valerie is an angel! I went in barely able to move my neck and lower back. The deep tissue massage is no joke! She doesn't mess around and gets your body feeling better fast! Can't wait to go back! read more

I am in love. I was looking for a massage therapist who offered deep tissue massages. I've been to many different shops, from Garden Grove to Santa Ana to La Mirada, but I couldn't ever find one who understood the meaning of deep tissue. Due to the pandemic and the entire work from home situation, sitting at a desk all day and then proceeding to the couch to binge watch all my favorite shows on Netflix really did a number on my back. I messaged Valerie who was quick to respond and setting up an appointment was easy. I showed up to the place, she is very friendly and the place is immaculate: it's clean, sanitized, meets all the requirements for Covid (for everyone who is a little nervous). Let me tell you, her hands are magical! They are so soft yet so, so strong. She focuses primarily on the areas she knows that you need more work on (none of that filler stuff many other therapists do). My back, neck, and shoulders feel awesome and I'm most likely going to be sore, but it's all worth it. She is exactly what I've been looking for and has definitely gained a regular client. I can't wait to see her again. read more

I was looking for someone who could give me a good deep tissue massage. I am 65 and am still exercising and have never had a deep tissue massage. My neck, shoulders and back were full of knots and I have cervical stenosis so I knew this would help. I did my research and Valerie had such great reviews I thought I would give her a try. Oh...my...gosh! This massage hurt so bad because of all the tightness and knots but it was what my body needed! An hour later all the toxins that have built up in my body over the years we're releasing. It felt so good after my massage was over. I can't lie, it hurt for a couple of days, but it's my own fault for not taking care of my body before. I am going to keep going to Valerie on a regular basis so my body will keep moving easily and correctly. My physical therapist told me that after that one massage everything in my back is moving so much better. If you're think of getting a deep tissue massage, look no further. Go see Valerie. Her massages are the best!! read more

Hands down the best massage I've ever gotten. I was on the search for a message therapist in OC I can start seeing regularly due to a lot of neck, shoulder, and back pain I have from my job and Valerie was so spot on in focusing on those areas. I could feel all the tension get released during the massage and I feel so relaxed and happy that I've finally found someone I can start seeing regularly!! read more

Well Valerie was a real five star experience. The room was very clean and you got to pick your scent of essential oil. I received the Swedish full body massage for one hour and it was awesome. I will be a regular customer for now on. Thank you Valerie. read more

Talk about intuitive! She's got healing strong hands. Take the hour... it will feel like not enough minutes of heaven. I always leave feeling like I want more!! read more

My family go to Valerie when the body is hurting or if we just need a relaxing massage. When my back is hurting I know Valarie can work here magic. I struggle with sciatic pain that travels down to my feet. Valerie is very professional and one of the best Massage Therapist we have ever had. We Love Valarie!! read more

First time with Valerie while visiting from Phoenix. Great deep tissue pressure point massage. Val is strong, experienced & knowledgeable. I won't hesitate to go back, in fact I'm looking forward to it. read more

Valerie is AMAZING! I was in Southern California for vacation for a few weeks, and unfortunately had a pretty bad back injury in-tow, so I searched the web for someone to see while I was away. Now I want to steal her and bring her back to Texas with me! Just so you know, Valerie does DEEP tissue massage. If you have knots, she'll find them and attack them head-on. Her sessions aren't for those who just want to be rubbed down with lotion for an hour, she'll make you feel like a different person when you leave. read more

I have a chronic back issue, so I have seen numerous Massage Therapists in the last 15 years or so. Some are decent, some are good, but Valerie is simply the best. 1) She does NOT rush through the massage. You don't pay for a full hour and get the typical 50 minute massage. Many times she goes over the allotted time in order to make sure you get a great massage. 2) She doesn't skimp on some of the harder areas to work on: glutes, Quads, hamstrings. You are getting a FULL body massage, and that includes your feet and scalp. 3) Her pricing is very reasonable, and considering the fact that you get a fantastic massage and a longer one than most therapists offer, it's actually a great deal. 4) She offers discounted packages, I would highly recommend doing the 4 sessions for $240 as opposed to the individual session. Bottom line, you ll be hard pressed to find a better massage therapist in O.C. read more

I used to get massages on a bi-weekly basis at another massage place next to my work. The lady there was good but it just got too expensive to go every 2 weeks. I tried other places with better pricing but none of them were as thorough. One day on the way back from Los Angeles, I stopped to get some food and came across Valerie's Body Restoration in the shopping center right off of Harbor. Decided to give her a try and WOW. I told her I like deep tissue massages and once she started, she changed my definition of "Deep Tissue"!! What a sensation massage. She was very thorough, pressure was deep and consistent, and was a pleasure to chit-chat with. Her pricing is really good and I like that she offers gift certificates. My only problem is I live about 30+ minutes away so Im not really able to go as often as I would like :-( read more

Awesome deep tissue! She has strong hands, Definitely will be coming back soon. My back and neck are so relaxed. Thank you Valerie!

The Queen of Deep Tissue!! Valerie knows her stuff and you will NOT be disappointed! I have never been so impressed with a massage therapist! Although I live in the San Fernando Valley, where signs for massage deals literally clutter the streets, I brave all that traffic to see Valerie twice a month. It is worth the drive to get a REAL massage from a dedicated individual who has the experience and passion to facilitate true healing. Valerie Rocks!! read more

I went to Valerie for a deep tissue massage and it was the most amazing thing ever! She is certified and has years of experience! I had a lot of knots on my shoulders, back and legs so I made sure to go to someone that was knowledgeable in deep tissue massages. I used to go to the Asian massages (not the happy ending ones) and it was always hit and miss. Sometimes it would be a good massage and sometimes it was just really bad. You really do get what you pay for. Valerie got rid of my knots and I felt so much better afterwards. During the massage I felt like crying but I felt a sense of relief afterwards. I definitely recommend her! read more

Finally someone who knows what deep tissue actually means! A lot of fly-by-night parlors seem to claim to offer them but you wind up with a medium pressure Swedish. Valerie is the real deal. Had a session with her last week and it was exactly what I was looking for and needed. She listened when I came in to exactly where I needed it (on my upper back) and she spent nearly the entire session working on that. It's supposed to hurt, that's how you know it's working and the next day I was sore but a new man and that was what I was looking for. She has a new regular in me! read more

I'd been seeing a wonderful massage therapist every other week for several years to keep my fibromyalgia pain under control, but I hadn't had a massage since moving to Orange County in August. My body was like a pretzel. Valerie unkinked it in short order. She really knows her stuff (and I also have high standards). Don't be put off by warnings about how deep her deep tissue massage is; like any good therapist, she'll give you whatever amount of pressure you're comfortable with. I'm going back in two weeks! read more

One of the BEST massages I have had! Working in Anaheim and decided to give Valerie a try, missing my normal weekly massage. Great focused deep work, knows the body, professional and experienced. I will for sure be back the next time I am in town. If you live here, get there! read more

My dad just went to Valeria as a delayed holiday gift and loved it! It was his first massage ever, said she met him at the front of her facility, made him feel comfortable right away, and just had an overall wonderful Experience. She listened to what he wanted & delivered. He said he felt euphoric afterwards which says a lot. I think I just found his annual holiday gift:) read more

SPECIALIST: Valarie is beyond professional and courteous. She is well educated in her craft and if you ask- she will explain to you your pains and discomforts. She is flexible with appointments when she can be which is a huge plus for me. I may call the day of looking for a time and if she can accommodate she will. She will also communicate through text which I love! She makes me feel important and valued. SERVICE: Amazing. If you tell her exactly where your discomforts are she will work them! I have done the Swedish Massage just for relaxation and have done the Deep Tissue Massage to release some tension. BOTH massages were performed great and did the job! She has strong hands and is graceful in her technique. ATMOSPHERE: It's a single room located at the back of a salon/store called Beauty Avenue. A little odd but it works. Even though there is a lot going on outside the room- inside the room is quite and peaceful. She plays a relaxing, therapeutic track and will put warm blankets/towels on you if you're cold. read more

Valorie is great, so knowledgable of the body and gifted at therapeutic body work! I am very picky and discriminating when it comes to massage and I don't pass compliments on easily. Valorie is now on my short list of go to girls when my body is out of sorts. read more

Wow, I just had one of my all-time BEST massages, thanks to Valerie. She knows what she's doing, that's for sure. I left de-stressed and ready to face the world after a one-hour aromatherapy Swedish massage. I will definitely return. She's good for my health. read more

There are not many masseuses who are gifted and knowledgeable about deep tissue technique enough to repair my muscles. Valerie is just such a one. She is gifted and very knowledgeable. I didn't even have to tell her where I hurt for her to know what to do. It was a very clean and professional atmosphere. I highly recommend her if you have any body work you need done! read more

I wanted to provide the public with an updated review. I have been a client of Valerie's for quite some time now and she is a miracle worker on my back and neck! She has helped my carpal tunnel and neck strain. I always ask for deep tissue and she always delivers. She is amazing at her craft and I recommend her to all!!? read more

I was surprised by how professional and talented Valerie was when I came to her for relief, hurting from a new workout routine. She made time for me and spent time with me by showing concern for why I was there. And work it out, she did! Valerie worked out every kink and knot in my body! I realize that this was money BEST spent after working a hard day or working out. Forego the new this or that, and treat your body to a brilliant massage by these strong talented hands. read more

First time here. I regret not doing a full hour!! I booked a deep tissue massage, was scared about it being painful but it was actually the best massage I've gotten in a long time. Valerie did an excellent job. I booked because of the excellent yelp reviews. My appointment started late but the overall experience was great. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

Valerie is awesome. She primarily uses her fingertips for her pressure (which is deep unless you request otherwise) so she has a great feel for where your troublespots are. I was amazed at how she was able to determine everywhere that I was having trouble with. read more

Valerie did a phenomenal job. I feel much better after my massage. I went in initially to have her work on my strained muscle and it feels much better! I can tell you that, as a physical therapist, Valerie knows what she is doing and does it well. I will definitely go back! read more

I went to Valerie with a stiff body. She gave me a deep tissue massage and I have to say that no one has ever put that much effort into it. She really loosened up all the muscles in my body. It was painful to say the least but my body needed that. read more

This is long over due.. Although I have not seen her in awhile I have to say she is the best massage therapist out there. I had sciatica act up right before I was going out of town Valerie has hands of an angel she really took care of my pain and I was able to enjoy my vacation pain free. I have referred a few people to her and hear nothing but wonderful things about Valerie.. I highly recommend her. read more

Best massage I've had in a very long time. My sister is a massage therapist so I have high standards when it comes to getting any body work done. Valerie has a gift, and she works out those knots thoroughly. You leave feeling transformed and aligned. She is worth the drive. I drove from Arcadia, and now that I live in South Pasadena, I will drive to benefit from her healing hands. Worth every penny. read more

I am another reviewer who has seen numerous massage therapists over the years. And I am another reviewer saying that Valerie is simply the best out there. She is caring and thorough in her work, and truly has a gift for body restoration. Look no further than Valerie if you are anywhere near her, and if you are far away, just drive. read more
