Natassia's hands are a rare gift -- skilled, empathetic, and truly transformative!…read more My husband and I had our first massages with Natassia, and we were both blown away. She has a rare gift -- her hands are incredibly skilled and intuitive, finding exactly where the body holds tension and knowing how to release it. I have scoliosis and long-term tightness, and she immediately understood what was happening. She explained each step, released fascia with precision, and even gave me simple at-home tips to keep the progress going. It was true therapeutic bodywork -- yet I left so relaxed I fell asleep as soon as I got home. Professional, kind, and highly experienced, Natassia is a rare find. Book her now before her schedule fills -- I've already booked two months out and have been telling all my friends about her.

From the very beginning, her communication was exceptional--she checked in via text a couple of weeks before my visit and made the whole process smooth and welcoming. Before the massage, she took the time to ask thorough questions and really listened to what I needed. During the session, the pressure was perfect, and she focused intentionally on the areas we discussed. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready to enjoy the rest of my weekend on the coast. I highly recommend Natassia to anyone looking for a truly attentive and skillful massage therapist. I can't wait to schedule another session the next time I'm in town!

I found her through the search feature on Yelp and my sister and I booked back-to-back appointments with Svetlana back in April. Easy on-line booking. My sister was recovering from a fall earlier in the week and she was a bit bruised up. She was cared for so gently and beautifully by Svetlana!! I have chronic pain and asked for more intense work, and Svetlana delivered! She is very knowledgable and provided targeted relief to the muscles of my neck, back, shoulders, and arms. I can't wait to return once I am back in the Bay Area. Thank you, Svetlana!!

From what I could tell, this isn't the relax and unwind kind of massage. This is work and can be painful at first, but after the massage, Jocelyn leaves you in better shape. Thank you, Jocelyn!

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. Thank you Karalyn!

My whole being was neglected by self love. I can feel the heaviness of suppressing myself. I usually go to places to get a massage, but I cannot leave my situation, and since covid, the thought of being around so many people at once is negative. I found Karalyn on Yelp! I knew I wanted someone like-minded, mobile, well-rounded, and spiritual. When I saw Karalyn's pictures of her travels and the Esalan pic, PLUS the beautiful reviews. I knew I had found my HEALER. *Karaylyn* You accommodated me and made me feel safe. You were professional and respected my privacy and home. You are a great listener and know how to balance our conversation. You knew when it was time to let me rest as I fell asleep intermittently. Your hands are strong and amazing; you helped me jump-start the healing process I neglected. I am forever GRATEFUL! I am still feeling the effects of your visit. This may be TMI, but I want to let the folks know this is proof of how much of a healer you are. I started drinking water as soon as you left. Your healing hands hit all the pressure points needed to move my bowels and help relax my nerves. This was such a relief and I felt lighter and more relaxed than I have in a while. I am pleased that I chose you to assist me through my healing and looking forward to my next session with you. May you have many more blessings this lifetime gives you and so the next. Love, MAT.

My massage with Christina felt a vacation- relaxing, restful, and much much needed…read more Environment: Her massage room has all the zen vibes like dim lighting, crystals, ambient music, aromatherapy so you'd never guess it was located in a shared chiropractor's office. Massage: Before my massage, Christina took the time to talk to me about my needs, and any injuries or pain. She made me feel really comfortable & welcomed from the start. I wanted to focus on my low back pain and TMJ. She uses just the right amount of pressure to allow my muscles to release any tension, not too hard or too soft. I was initially drawn to Christina's "intuitive bodywork" and I can tell she really did use her intuition to tune into my body. She has magical hands! I highly recommend Christina to anyone, especially if you're sedentary, work at your desk for long hours, or simply want to feel more relaxed.

Parking was available on nearby surface streets. There appeared to be a small parking lot behind the building too. The massage parlor takes place inside an "office building" with numerous "suites." The office building is multi-level with a stairs that gets you up to the 2nd floor. The break room seems to be communal with other "suites." The massage took place inside a suite. There appears to be two "beds" sectioned off by sheer curtains. After spending time in Thailand, I've been on the lookout for a strong traditional Thai massage therapist. Many of the "Thai massages" in the area mix the traditional Thai massage with the western massage styles by adding oil etc.... Informed the therapist that I was looking for a Thai traditional massage without oil and strong, just like in Thailand. The therapist was strong, did numerous stretches, just like in Thailand. $95/hr + gratuity with $5 off for paying cash. There appears to be a promo program where there is a discounted rate for buying sets of massages. The massage parlor seems to be by appointment only.
