Maria asked me what level of pressure I wanted at the beginning, and gave me one of the best massages I've ever received.

"A coworker recommended this spot to me. I was a little nervous since I've only had massages at resorts before. Maria, who is also the owner, gave me the massage. She was very professional, asking the right questions and putting my nervousness at ease. I felt comfortable right away. I mentioned my shoulder tension and upper back stiffness, and chose a 60-minute sports massage. I left feeling completely relaxed, and all the tension in my shoulders and upper back was gone. I would definitely return and recommend this place to anyone. Now I see why my friend recommended it to me!" read more

Best massage I've had in a long time! Also I like how clean it is and Maria was amazingly nice and patient.

Just had my first massage with Maria White, and I'll never go anywhere else again. She is an incredibly gifted masseuse. She found every tight muscle (and I have a lot) and worked on them till they felt better. Plus, she did some assisted stretching, opening up my chest and shoulder muscles and stretching my hamstrings and quads. I feel so much better. Looking forward to making this a regular part of my wellness routine. Thanks so much, Maria! read more

Masterful massage - relaxed, professional, healing and relieving. Maria found every "spot" and knew exactly how to care for them with unerring touch and the exact amount of pressure required. Her studio is a plain room, nothing fancy here, but once you like down on her table you will be glad you did. One of the best massages I've had. read more

Amazing Massage Therapist ! She is so friendly, listens to your needs and the place itself is so comforting ! Safe environment. I highly recommend ! read more

Maria offers an A+ legit deep tissue massage. Honestly - she is super intuitive and targeted. I walked in stiff and walked out loose and relaxed. Run, don't walk, to Maria. read more

Maria was absolutely amazing guiding me through the vestiges of early learning of what to expect from a therapist. Killer massage and good conversation. Did I mention she's mobile? The best read more

Excellent home massage! Maria was very accommodating and wore the n95 mask that I provided. No discomfort, but great pressure as well. Will be contacting Maria again. read more

I turned 39 years-old the other week and decided to treat myself to a B-day massage. After all, I've earned it. Plus, I find that my body gets more and more sore with each year. I did a Yelp search for Marin County-based massage therapists and stumbled upon Bayside Massage Therapy. They had a 5-star rating + they were offering a great introductory Yelp Deal (one-hour massage for just $75)! This sounded almost too good to be true. Fortunately for me, Maria (the owner) is the real deal. I reached out to her about availability, and she got back to me right away. The awesome thing about Bayside Massage Therapy is that they come to YOU. Yes, a masseuse who makes house-calls. So there's no need to drive in traffic or look around for parking, or sit in an awkward spa waiting room. Maria brings her massage studio to you. That amenity alone will already will put your mind and body at ease. As for the massage, it was A-mazing! Maria was totally in tune with the aches and pains of my little ol' body. She essentially worked through the knots in my back, arms, and legs like bubble-wrap. Throughout the session, Maria was super sweet and attentive. She was communicative without being overly-chatty (which I greatly appreciated). I don't know what it is about some massage therapists - they just seem to want to talk all the time. To me, this kind of defeats the purpose of relaxing. Long story short, Maria was a total pro. She worked wonders on me. And this was the best physical investment I've made on myself in a long time. I look forward to scheduling another massage with her in the near future. And I hope you all get a chance one day to experience her healing hands as well. read more

Have had a few massages from Maria. Each one seems to get even better. She's a real professional and has a talent for just making one feel at ease... I've been in construction many years and massage is a necessity for me to keep myself feeling well... Highly recommend her services ! read more

Maria is the best massage therapist I've had (and I've tried many)! She has given me exactly what I need for running recovery and balances specific requests with an overall great massage. She is flexible with tough schedules and short notice. Highly recommend her! read more

I'm an Ultrarunner who puts in a lot of miles on the trails. As the years go by, my body (lower lumbar, hamstrings and glutes) require much more maintenance in order to continue the high weekly mileage. Maria provided an Excellent Deep Tissue Massage. With very little feedback from me, she was able to identify all the hot-spots and more importantly was able to loosen them up. I totally recommend Maria - Happy Trails! read more

Maria was fantastic! Well into my massage I knew that she had been trained by a medical professional because she knew exactly what to do to relieve my pain. My husband and I had a couples massage and we were both very happy. read more

My first massage by Maria was after a long week of flights around the country and back tightness that was unbearable. She did an amazing job resetting me and I immediately knew I'd found my goto massage therapist in the North Bay! I highly recommend her work and skill. read more

I'm happy to recommend getting a massage from Bayside Massage Therapy. Today I had my first appointment and it was great. The scheduling experience was easy and they had good availability. The masseuse showed up at my home right on time and set up quickly. She did a great job responding to the issues that I presented--I was rear-ended and have neck/back pain. The table was very comfortable and the linens were great too. I'll definitely hire again for my next massage. read more

Cyclists: Therapy for your quads and calves! Maria at Bayside Massage Therapy is the best massage that I've had in about 10 years. It is very hard to find someone who can find all of your knots and tight spots, and then put real strength into digging them out. Think of it as "enhanced interrogation" for your muscles. : ) Maria is really good. I am glad to finally have found someone worth seeing on a regular basis. She's also easy to book in San Rafael or at home. I can't recommend her more highly. read more

My partner and I recently treated ourselves to an in-home massage with Maria and her colleague, Amber. It was WONDERFUL! Maria is attentive, professional, and paid attention to exactly the areas that were causing me the most pain in my back. To have a massage in our home was a decadent treat...and one that we'll definitely indulge in again! I highly recommend Maria and her team. read more

For the past few weeks I've been dealing with a very sore, stiff neck limiting my range of motion. I had a deep tissue massage but there was no focus or attention to my problem area. After reading positive reviews for Bayside Massage Therapy I immediately booked an appointment. I couldn't believe the amount of attention that was given to my problem area and I feel so much better with much more range of motion! I'm so happy to have discovered Bayside and have already recommended them to a few of my colleagues at work. read more

Maria is amazing massage therapist, I have been seeing her for the past year and a half now and I consistently see and feel great results from her work! She has very precise technique and is fabulous at relieving neck tension- not just that, but completely melting it away! Love love love what she does! She is highly knowledgable about the body and definitely knows her anatomy. I highly recommend her as a massage therapist. Much gratitude and thank you Maria! read more

013 Maria is amazing!!! From her pillows ,her gentle touch, her kind words, to her deep understanding of the pregnant woman's body, Maria provides the most amazing pregnancy massage. In fact, she is the best massage therapist I've ever seen. I only wish I could afford to fly her to where I live now. :) read more

The first time I had a massage from Maria I was a little apprehensive because I usually go with recommended therapists but I was so desperate for a massage that day I took a risk. I'm so glad I did. The service was professional, punctual and the massage highly effective. My aches and pains were gone and I was totally relaxed after my session. Organising appointments was easy. I'm reluctant to give too much positive feedback in case she gets too busy! I thoroughly recommend this company. read more

I just had my first massage with Maria and it was one of the best massages ever. After undergoing significant stress within the last few weeks that resulted in my shoulders getting very tense and painful, a massage with Maria was perfect. I highly recommend her! read more

Maria is fabulous. She came to my house yesterday and gave me an incredible massage. She was very in-tune with my body and managed to find all the knots and tightness in my body. I slept incredibly deeply and today I feel very relaxed and free from tension. I will definitely be seeking her services on a regular basis. I can safely say that it was the best massage I have had in the Bay Area! read more

Maria is a miracle worker! First of all, she is so considerate. I had bought a deal for an hour massage for $75 and forgot about it. Maria emailed me to remind me about the deal I purchased and to offer her availability. I ended up getting an appointment for that same weekend. Maria was prompt and brought everything needed for the massage...including the most comfortable sheets on the table. She offered lotion or oil for the massage and I appreciated the choice. Now on to the massage itself... it was probably the best I've ever had. I like a lot of pressure and Maria did not disappoint. She found and targeted the areas that were most tense without me having to tell her and REALLY worked the tension out. She checked in often to make sure everything was to my liking. I was in heaven. She also went the full hour, which is rare. The comfort of being in my own apartment with my own music was amazing and Maria ' s friendly personality was the cherry on top. I've already scheduled a massage for my husband and will be getting regular appointments for myself as well! read more

Maria is extremely accommodative to your schedule and makes it convenient coming to your home. I had a great experience and enjoyed a relaxing massage. I highly recommend her as she's professional, enjoyable to talk with, and does great work to work out some of my knotted areas. read more

I have tried zeel and soothe for in home massages, i have to say i have not had good luck with these services. I saw Bayside on a facebook ad and i thought i give it one last try to in home massages since i can no longer drive. I am so glad i did! i had a massage with Maria and oh my goodness she is amazing! i dont remember when was the last time i felt so great. she is very talented and def knows what she's doing. She is my regular therapist now but I had also tried Marcus and Amber, they are really great therapist as well. Overall I highly recommend this company, they are very professional and they have excellent therapists. read more

Fantastic service! Maria is so wonderful and really knows what she's doing. I was 5 months pregnant and blew my back out and Maria came and saved the day. She knew exactly what muscles to work and had me upright and walking in no time. 2 months and 15 lbs later, Maria is on speed dial, relieving my sciatic pain and swollen ankles. Reasonable prices and phenomenal service...Maria is your girl! Highly recommend. read more
