    It was my one & only younger sister's 70th birthday & my daughter suggested that we get a treatment here for her special day, so my daughter treated me & my niece treated my sister. We all four had the 1st time combo special of two procedures - the neurofeedback brain training & the lymphatic drainage massage. Both procedures I benefited immensely & felt immediate comfort of relief & no pains after session. I couldn't believe that I felt light, relaxed, calm from the neurofeedback & my knee & arm/shoulder joints were pain free. It's been about 10 days since I had the treatments. I'm still feeling the benefits. I'm a post-polio survivor & I caught poliomyelitis when I was 9 months old living in Vallejo because my dad worked @ Mare Island. I was born in San Francisco, but caught the virus in Vallejo & was hospitalized in SF for two months. I've worn leg braces all my life & now being retired & permanently disabled from working @ the age of 56, I had to slow down because of the effects of post-polio syndrome after aging. I've gone to chiropractors, acupuncturists, body massages and cranial therapy, but the treatment I had at the Brain Spa was a blessing to me which I felt immediate benefits from especially with other ongoing medical ailments like diabetes, hypertension & high cholesterol. Ugh! I seem to receive a wow factor after my treatment. Hopefully, i will go again in a few months. Thank you for the services there & staff were friendly & helpful! I forgot their names, but I'll post their lovely photo. We forgot to take photos during our treatment. Next time!

    What to say about Bay Area Brain Spa? I just don't have words for it . As a competitive martial artist from Brazil since the year of 1992.I always looking for a way to cut edge in my athletic performance . In 2007 I won the World's championships of grappling in the same year that I won my mixed martial arts (mma)debut . After been competing for over 23 years in 2016 I was introduced to neuroptimal. At the age of 41 in 2017 I won my first professional jiu-jitsu fight . I kept with the Neuroptimal sessions and they called me out again to fight a pro event in 2018 and I let flow with Neuroptimal as well and the same thing happened with me winning my other match in 2019 . I love Neuroptimal and I recommended to everyone that I meet . My son and my daughter also use the system and we all can tell the big difference in their mental state. Angela is an amazing human that I always call or message asking for more sessions or advice about the program . The new spot that she got it now is unreal. I strongly recommended for anyone suffering of anxiety or mental pressure . It's an amazing feeling when you encounter yourself in the zone . For me in martial arts it's pretty strange sometimes I can predict the opponent next move by a large distance in time . I sleep better I have a much better performance in my Brazilian jiu-jitsu and soccer (yeah I'm a soccer player too). Don't think twice book your appointment with Bay Area Brain Spa and see for yourself the magic happens !

    The Bay Area Brain Spa is a gem! I'm so grateful to have a resource of this caliber to support my patients. Angela, Carleigh and Emily bring cutting edge, high-tech wellness to the people while simultaneously being grounded and nurturing. They manage to keep these much needed healing technologies affordable and create a chic, modern, luxury spa environment.

    I am so impressed with this business! They've created a beautiful clean, modern, comfortable space in which to provide a plethora of different technologies for personal improvement. My favorite is the neurofeedback which I find very calming. I had a concussion a year ago and this really helps me focus and ground. As a holistic chiropractor, Bay Area Brain Spa is a part of my professional referral network. And the owners are terrific too, so give it a try!

    Overall my massage was good, the only complaint on the massage was I believe my masseuse had nails…read moreand they were sharp and would at time dig into my skin causing slight plain and discomfort. My biggest gripe is when it can down to pay I owed $120 for two people getting an hour massage and as I was paying and writing the tip I decided $10 for each masseuse would be good since it's slightly above the industry standard of 15%. And let's not forget that a tip is just that, a tip which is optional. I paid them what was due and some. But they were pressuring me saying how they usually get $20 each for an hour massage after I had already written $20 in the tip and $140 for the total. They kept saying how they USUALLY get $20 each for masseuse but they must not understand what the word usually means. It means most the time and that this time they weren't gonna get that and i wasn't going to budge because I couldn't believe they had the nerve, gall, and audacity to tell me how to spend my money especially on an optional portion when I could've gave nothing. Had it not been for my wife offering to cover the extra $20 I would've left them upset. So in the end I had to scratch out the tip and total I wrote so that they could shutup and accept the tip they preferred and requested.It's also very brave and presumptuous to assume I had the extra $20 to spare. And if I paid you're price you can't expect or ask for more tip especially when $20 is 1/3rd of the $60 price point which is a 33.3% tip which I would never imagine giving out. And if I couldn't afford the extra money and I was giving what I could they should be grateful for that. And if I didn't have the tip amount they wanted it's never any business's business to know my personal affairs as that could be rude, traumatizing, and very invasive. All that to say I enjoyed my massage for the most part but won't be returning due to their pushy nature regarding an optional portion of my bill. Please do better!!

    Had a very unsettling massage at this location and would not recommend.

I also love the products she carries -- high quality, effective, and perfectly suited to what she recommends in treatments. My skin has improved so much over the years because of her guidance and consistency.

    I wish there were more stars to give Nubo! From their lovely front desk staff, to their great…read moreseasonal specials, you always get a good vibe and deal. Shiva, the Harry Potter of aestheticians, a true wizard, and the genius of her expertise astounds me. I never walk away feeling over done, or not looking like myself, rather a more refreshed, best version. When friends ask if I'm using new skin care products, rather than, "what work have you had done?" you know you're in great hands. I trust NO ONE ELSE with my face other than Queen Shiva. I bow at her altar. While some reviews do point out that their prices are a bit higher - which is true - they are not the cheapest, but they are also not the most expensive: you pay for what you get! Their prices are comparable to places I've gone before in Walnut Creek who were voted "Best Of", and WAY better. Night and day. There are some things in life that you should never skimp on, or go to the cheapest person for, a lawyer (when/if you need one) and a plastic surgeon/injectables. You are paying for someone who has years of experience, and it shows! Shiva has a deep understanding of anatomy, and her meticulousness during each session is something I haven't experienced before, save for my derm/M.D. in LA. Thank you Nubo for treating clients with warmth and grace, and thank you Shiva for being your blessed self!!
