I love praising good people behind their back and I'm going to do it here so get ready:…read more Tranzend is a woman of color owned and operated small business. A small biz that punches above its weight class and does it all with kindness. I struggled for YEARS not knowing what my diagnosis was and was in a deep struggle with my physical health and mental well being. No one understood me. Health care providers would misdiagnose me multiple times before I found the right fit and would often seek referrals from anyone I trusted to find a massage therapist who could be kind, attune to my diagnosis, and just a good human being. Janice didn't just change my life; she saved it. The work we did together on not just my physical being but my soul was something I can never thank her enough. My financial situation wasn't the greatest either but Janice would insist on making it work and I dare say she would do the same for any of her clients. I don't recollect how many years I would see Janice but it was a lot. Janice is a compassionate and empathetic massage therapist and she has a breadth and depth of expertise that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. If you're not seeing this woman, what are you doing with your life?

My husband found Janice and booked massages for us for our anniversary (we stayed in downtown…read moreSeattle for the occasion). We each had a 60 minute massage in her cozy little studio with the most beautiful rooftop view of the Sound. The massages were great (my introduction to cupping) and Janice is a lovely person. I get massage and other body work done regularly so I've experienced a wide variety of quality. I'm also not the easiest body to work on (very tight, problem spots). I would absolutely come back again. I can't comment about the value because I didn't pay the bill :-) Hubby said her prices were average, though. I'm not complaining about anything because I enjoyed myself and felt great afterward, but setting expectations so no one is disappointed. The massage studio is in a large professional building and shares hall space with other medical professionals. TrandZend is a single massage room, not a full spa experience. Because it's in a professional building, it's locked on weekends and Janice has to come down to let you in (didn't phase us since the sun was shining, but this could mean waiting outside for quite a while). Janice creates a warm, inviting experience, but take note if you're looking for something different. I debated between 4 and 5 stars because it isn't a full spa, etc. but I figure it's the quality of the massage that matters and that was definitely a 5 star experience.

I have very tight shoulders and hips - Megan was able to relieve the pressure and pain that pressure caused. She didn't just massage but also used pressure points, stretching and more to release my tight muscles. The office was very clean, well-kept and relaxing- her practice is inside a chiropractic office which to me is a good sign! She offers great deals for first time clients as well as referral bonuses. Make an appointment with Megan it will make you feel like a regular person instead of a knotted up mess!

I loved my experience at Sunbird Massage Therapy…read more I have been treated by Tasha a couple times a while back and she's great so I recently decided to see her again at her new business. My first feeling on entering the office was one of calm serenity. The whole atmosphere in the office was peaceful and soothing, and Tasha's space is a lovely, clean, and soft setting with just the right touch of nature elements that give it a bit of the feeling that you're in a warmer sunnier climate. And I loved the soothing music selection. Tasha's space mirror's her own inner qualities. She has a gentle, patient, and attentive manner that puts you at ease. She is very easy to talk to and yet stays professional and focused on you as the patient. She seems to have it just right in the communication and flow of her work. From finding out what I wanted to focus on at the beginning, to her being responsive to physical or verbal feedback on the massage throughout, and finally to her helpful information in the end. The massage was very detailed and thorough, extending to other parts of my body that are connected to those problem areas. It was also very relaxing, and I learned this time that relaxation is where healing happens, and conversation is limited during the massage for that purpose. One thing that I really appreciate with Tasha is that each time I have seen her, I learn more about my body, the causes for pain, and what will correct it. This time she pointed out my hip posture orientation and recommended stretches and clarified how to sit correctly. At my work the following day I paid attention to my sitting position. Between the massage and me shifting my posture for one day, I noticed a significant reduction in lower back pain. I highly recommend Tasha. She takes excellent care of her patients and doesn't seem to overlook any element of the process: a beautiful experience from beginning to end.

GREAT massage therapy! Tasha may be the best massage therapist of any in my experience. Great…read morecommunication, gets an idea of what you want to accomplish, and checks in throughout the session. I notice changes post-session, both short- and long-term. Excellent sensitivity to pressure, really lets me "breathe into it," if it's an area where I want to apply deep pressure, and keeps things less intense if I don't. I got massage therapy with Tasha at another location, and am overjoyed she opened Sunbird as her own studio. Supporting an independent business owner is truly the icing on the cake. Looking forward to many future sessions!

Disclaimer: I am Krissy's husband. However, this also means I'm fortunate enough to get a regular…read moresampling of, in my opinion, the most top-quality massage therapy! =] Seriously, Krissy's massages are the most professional I've experienced. The defining qualities that immediately pop into my head are "intuitive" and "flow". Krissy is very engaged in the treatment and will adapt her style to dynamically suit your current needs. I have some semi-regular lower back pain that sometimes requires quite a lot of pressure and other times requires very precise releases. Krissy naturally finds what kind of work my body needs and deftly performs the necessary moves. It feels as if she's resolving a chain tensions that depend on one another and have to be released in a certain order, which I attribute to her knowledge in anatomy and experience in the trade. The modalities that she practices naturally flow into each other and are mixed and matched to your personal needs. I am definitely a lucky husband! =D

She retired a year after my first appointment and I've been looking for another Lois since. I have tried countless therapists over the past decade.
