Excellent massage technique and advice for future at home exercises. Jeff suggested Lacrosse balls which I now use nightly combined with my foam rolling.

The short version: Do business here. James is an expert…read more The longer version: My wife and I both visited the establishment after a friend recommended him to us. I travel a lot for work -- sometimes more than 120 days out of the year -- and I regularly get massages in various countries and cities around the world. I rarely leave reviews because I'm super picky and quite "judgmental" when it comes to massage, but this is next-level work and a well-deserved 5-star review. If you want someone who truly understands the body, James is on another level. His deep tissue work is insanely precise. He can literally find tension you didn't even realize you had and fix it without the usual "just painful" massage nonsense that leaves you sore for three days for no reason. It's therapeutic, intentional, and above all -- it works. Beyond skill, the professionalism stands out. Super clean space, calm vibe, zero ego, and he actually listens to what you need. Like my wife said: "Super rare combo, serious technical expertise plus genuinely good energy." I'll be back. You should be too.

Back in February this year I had an accident where a car hit me as a pedestrian on my right leg. I…read morehave been going to a chiropractor for 6 months , they sent me to a pain doctor I got an injection in my neck another in my right lower back, this has help but pains continue in neck and lower back. My neck is stiff and my lower back muscles are stiff . I googled for a massage therapy to help me get rid of the pains. I came yesterday 12 August to a one hour and a 1/2 to treat with massage the neck and upper back and it really helped. Today August 13 I came for and hour to treat the lower back and right hip and I am feeling better. Mike Krazovek the massage therapist explained to me that when accidents happens the body takes time to heal and that massages therapies help a lot to go deep and heal the muscle that is stressed and stiff to release trauma that the body went through. I really recommend his massage therapies very professional with 23 years of sports massage experience. He treats specific damage areas.

As a veteran, I receive in-home medical massage through the VA's Community Care program, and while…read morethe service provides the logistics, my massage therapist, Jamila S., is what makes the experience truly exceptional. You can't beat the convenience of having a therapist come to your home (complete with their own massage table), but Jamila brings so much more than convenience. From the moment she walked in, she was warm, professional, and incredibly skilled. We connected immediately, and it was clear she takes real pride in her work. I live with chronic pain and also struggle with insomnia, so I need therapeutic, intentional massage, not just relaxation. Jamila listens carefully, remembers my problem areas, and tailors every session to what my body needs. I consistently feel physical relief and mental calm after her visits, and that has made a meaningful difference in my quality of life. Once she arrives, all I have to do is open the door and relax. No driving, no stress... just expert care in the comfort of my own home. If you're lucky enough to be matched with Jamila, you are in excellent hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for medical or therapeutic massage.

Extraordinary! You will never, ever find a better therapeutic massage specialist than Denise, owner…read moreof "A Sanctuary for Healing." I have used her services for well over 15 years now, and will continue to do so for as long as she's in business. For nearly 40 years, I have had a very stressful job, which I manage through exercise, meditation, and therapeutic massage. Complaining to a friend about the inadequacy of those who billed themselves as massage professionals, she recommended me to and swore by "A Sanctuary for Healing." Acting upon her advise, I booked a 60 minute session. Welcoming me into her private Santa Monica studio, my 1st impression was how sweet, warm, & considerate was (and is) her demeanor. She instantly put me at ease, overcoming my anxiety at being in close quarters with a stranger. And, then something amazing took place because I learned what makes Denise so exceptional and frankly extraordinary is her mastery of Swedish/Esalen massage. She concludes the session with a focus on your head and scalp in the most amazing way - that alone is worth the price of admission. Though I try with all my might, I simply cannot express in words where I go when she uses her skills on me. Through her massage I am transported to a different universe; one I neither would nor could ever inhabit without her. All is peace and serenity and warmth. Her touch is strong but gentle, and her strokes languish on your body. A 60 minutes session seemed like an eternity. In a world that seems to get crazier by the day, a session at "A Sanctuary for Healing" transcends all your worldly concerns. At the conclusion of our now-90 minute sessions, I do not regret that my time with Denise is over, for the journey leaves me utterly and completely renewed. But what I do regret--until now--was not extolling to the world what a gift Denise is to her profession and to everyone fortunate enough to have been treated by her. After one session at "A Sanctuary for Healing," you shall return for another. This I guarantee.

Really looking forward to being a client for the foreseable future and what that will mean for my wellbeing.
