I worked in the industry: Before retirement I oversaw one of the world's largest ( 200 room 5 Star…read morefacilities in Asia). I know the importance of "hands': Before hiring I trade tested prospective employees. I did hundreds of individuals) over the course of my career. And I graded each persons performance in area of technique, touch, product knowledge, speciality, and customer service. Trinity is a younger energetic sweet woman, her SPA is lovely, and her ability to engage and welcome her clients is exceptional. One can tell she likes what she does: she likes welcoming new clients. She shows professionalism from the first minute the client enters the door. As expected she asked standard inquiry questions ( plus had given me an inquiry form) to determine what types of massage styles I knew or liked, what my preference was for hand strength, etc. And she informed me that she uses a foot massage method and got permission first ( before starting the massage) to use her feet as well as her hands. She also stated that I could choose to wear any clothing I was comfortable in, or no clothing at all. The day I had the massage was only two weeks after my mother's passing. I knew I would be hyper sensitive, so I asked her to use only a medium level of strength and warned her that I might break down into tears. Emotions can raise when massages are given. She was accommodating and sensitive through my whole experience. One observation I have had since returning stateside and having other masseurs work over me, is that most are not draping the way 5-star facilities expect of their masseurs. Trinity drapes properly and attends to giving privacy knowing many people are hesitant to show their body. Trinity was SEEMLESS in the way she draped. She also seamlessly slipped stones onto my body and into my hands. There was a simple rhythm to her approach. I so very much appreciated this perfect approach. Also , she tuned into me, knowing I needed silence vs chatter remembering I was grieving, and she read my needs. Others may want to chat during their massage ( that's personal preference), but should you be someone who needs silence she will understand and follow your cue. She is in the earlier stage of her career and is aware that there are many different massage techniques. She knows she can integrate the different techniques and that clients may expect her to know everything. To the reader I state: tell her what you need. And she will do her best, as she did for me. But understand too, she is gaining new knowledge taking more courses so she can become better with age. The only suggestions I had for her were business related. And I passed some knowledge onto her. What I liked was that she was open to listening. I would have graded her an "A- "..... She is the gave me the best massage I have had since leaving the industry during COVID. I left refreshed and at peace. That's the best anyone can ever expect after being given a massage. I live not far from her business ( 1.5 hours), and I will drive out of the way to return just to have Trinity's services. She now has my repeat business. I highly recommend her.

I made a surprise massage booking for my wife and I 60% through our weeklong "explore Yosemite"…read moretrip. One hour for me and 90 minutes for my wife. Trinity is the owner and therapist at BroghtFire and she was so kind, knowledgeable, and talented. My wife and I came in a wreck from both our computer facing jobs and our many miles in Yosemite and Trinity helped us realign and restore. She was very generous with her time and had an amazing energy. I highly recommend booking a massage if you are staying anywhere near Groveland, Ca. Thanks Trinity!! Oh yeah her space is amazing. My wife liked the space so much that she stayed there to read her book vs going to a coffee shop. That is saying a lot about how inviting the space is.

I requested the Special 60 min full body and 30 min foot massage. First off 90 minutes is not 1 hour and 20 minutes. I arrived early, but the service did not start early, that was fine. I was never asked what "type" of message I wanted, but I got really deep tissue even after wincing in pain and asking for lighter pressure. Full body consisted of my back, some arms and some legs. Lots of time was spent on my neck which is now tender to the touch. I am not sure this person has a message license, may have been out front, but I did not see one. I was then moved to the foot area where the message person started on my head. I had French braided my hair for the message, I was not asked if I wanted my head rubbed, but I did not like the head thing as it hurt. I asked her to stop as I started getting a head ache. Then we went to the feet. They switched people on me at that point, now I had a guy. I have had reflexology messages on my feet. What I got was not even close to being what I expected. My husband can rub my feet like that....Over all, I will not be going back.

Especially seeing as…read morethey would be coming out to our secluded Airbnb location, but after talking with Jenia, she made me feel confident to book three separate appointments for the people traveling in our party. Jenia maintained COVID protocols (masking up and sanitizing, and changing blankets/sheets in between each of us). The Reiki experience was fascinating. Each of us had prior experiences with various massage techniques, but never had we encountered the Reiki combination. I personally could feel the heat radiating from her hands through me. My pain points, caused by a herniated disc, misaligned hips, and hunched shoulders were all targeted with precision accuracy. At the end of the session Jenia showed us each valuable take-aways of yoga postures and self-massage to help us continue our journey of healing far after our sessions concluded. The tension in my neck and shoulders were completely released and I felt like she took me from feeling like a no-neck platypus to a graceful long-neck swan. It was an enriching experience and I will definitely book with her again should my travels take me into the area.

Searched through Yelp for someone who offered simple genuine massage (I don't want crystal worship or a "soul cleanse" etc.), forthcoming with pricing (TamiRae's website clearly displays very reasonable pricing and even better seasonal specials), and of course the awesome Yelp reviews were a bonus! TamiRae has the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. The studio was immaculately clean, comfortable and relaxing. The oils and treatments she used were effective and smelled lovely. Her touch proved she's a natural at massage, but since I was a new client she checked in with me to make sure my experience was great. I also appreciated that before the massage/warm stones/foot treatment/spa facial she walked me through what would happen, including when/why she would need to briefly leave the room. (I've had a massage therapist step out for 5 mins, and it was obvious by the smell upon return it was a smoke break - no lie lol!) I very much enjoyed TamiRae the person so much, that I had to make myself stop talking during the massage so I could sink into it even more.
