A truly magical experience. Tanya is a gifted Bodywork Therapist and you can tell she puts everything into her practice. As a Bodywork Therapist myself, I am quite picky about my massages. Tanya provided not only a deeply therapeutic massage but all the extras like aromatherapy, super cushy table, plus the decadent truffle and warm towel at the end truly made it feel like spectacularly indulgent treat. Self care never felt so good! read more

The 90min "Oh My Goddess" treatment is outstanding. Tanya has designed the ultimate sacred self care body therapy. She works with confidence from thousands of hours of client experience, her extensive knowledge base and highly attuned sensitivity comes through flawlessly in her sessions. Wonderful, thank you. Online booking was direct and easy to use, I was able to reserve the exact time I wanted in short notice. Great location! read more

Tanya is absolutely amazing!!!!! Like always, I frantically called several places because I decided I wanted a massage that day lol. I first called and realized that because Tanya is the masseuse and renting out a suite in an office building, that she was most likely in a session. That prompted me to text her. She responded quickly and was able to get me in an hour or so after texting her. (You can book her online but it only allows for you to book 4 hours in advance but if you text her she can tell you her availability) When you first walk into the building, take the elevators to the first floor. Make a left out of the elevator and at the end of the hall way another left and her suite 122 is the first door on the right. Her massage room is extremely cozy with a sitting area separated by curtains. Don't worry if there is a client in session you won't have access so there are no privacy concerns. She has an endless amount of essential oils to the right and even gives you a small smelling sample at the end of your session and she adds any scent to your massage. I chose the eucalyptus one (amazing!!!) and does not charge you extra like others do. Now onto the massage, she is perfect!!! I went for a relaxation massage and that's exactly what I got. She didn't talk to me or ask billions of questions to allow me to snooze and relax. She wasn't offended either when I asked for more pressure. The bed was a bit warm for me so next time I'll need to ask her to turn the heating completely off. At the end of the massage she gives you water and a chocolate truffle. What a surprise and the little things that give her a 5 star. Only downside of this session was at times I could hear cars and trash trucks in the alleyway. I also would recommend for Tanya to have her oils/lotion on both sides of the bed or attached to her on a bag like Massage Envy in the states do so she doesn't have to constantly walk back and forth to get more oil/lotion. It would cut down on time when she is changing sides of the body she is massaging. Highly recommend Tanya and note that you cannot use health benefits/insurance. She does take credit! read more

See all

Tanya is the best. This is a private, dedicated space for her practice. Everything in it is comfortable (except the noise from outside but that tends to melt away into the background because her touch is so great). Her location is in an old office building. I love these old Vancouver buildings. You walk in and it feels like you're in an episode of Mad Men! Walk up the marble stairs (note the old lamp and wrought iron gate) and head up one floor. (Tip: I park at International Village kitty corner from there. Lots of free, ample parking. Be sure to visit Daiso on your way back to the car.) Tanya really gets to know you. I've been to her for a few years now, not as often as I should, but she always remembers where I carry my stress and figures out my current state of tension with a kind of touch assessment before she starts. Do your body a favor by going to her. You'll walk out of there in a different state of mind! read more

Tanya has magic hands and amazing. She will definitely work your problem areas and help relieve any pain that you are experiencing from sore muscles or joints. She really puts her heart into it and makes sure you're comfortable. Highly recommend her for your therapy needs. Thank you, Tanya. read more

I really like how she gives your body a read before she starts She was able to pin point areas that needed more attn without me saying anything. And the warm bedding is the shit! I will go back asure ! read more

I am always very cautious about booking a massage when out of town but I was in need of some therapy. I considered all my options on Yelp and kept coming back to this spa. Tanya had great reviews so earlier in the week I booked a 90 minute. Tanya was very professional and her space was very relaxing, clean and a beautiful spa. Her office is in a very clean, safe restored historical building with architects and other professionals. The best part - the massage was amazing!! I have been getting massages for over 30 years and Tanya was in my top five. So, I thought I would impress my beautiful wife so I booked a couples massage and "sacrificed" by having Tanya work on my wife. The therapist that worked on me was also really good, very similar to Tanya in her methods. The real proof - my wife said "it was the best massage she had ever had!" Yahoo!! Thank you, Tanya and Eva! We loved our massage!! Five Stars!! read more

Ohmygodbestmassageever! Stop reading, call Tanya now to book your massage. I booked in for the Breathe massage. Its 90 minutes of bliss! When I arrived Tanya had me fill out the intake form, discuss my sore areas and then pick out my aromatherapy oils. A lot of massage places start the clock when you first come in, and you lose around 5-10 minutes of massage time chatting about your issues. Not with Tanya! She starts the clock when you're lying on the table ready to go! Tanya used the exact right amount of pressure, found my problem spots and worked on them in a magical way that fixed the problem and was still relaxing and enjoyable. She uses a mix of different types of massage techniques, none of which I am familiar enough with to list. But it all felt lovely. She wrapped my feet with hot towels near the end - BLISS! As we neared the end, Tanya switched up the aromatherapy oils to a citrus scent to bring me back out of my massage haze. And after all that amazing pampering, I had a chocolate waiting for me next to my water! Seriously spoiled! She accepts cash or cheque at the appointment or you can pay by paypal before hand. read more

Absolutely Amazing. Firstly- this studio is beautiful. Its a space with a clear intention- to support you, the client, in being able to just let go and breathe and be transformed. I came in feeling fairly good already, other than the chronic tension I am used to experiencing in my shoulders. I expected to feel nice after the massage but I left feeling GREAT. The treatment was not only deeply relaxing but also, I believe, therapeutically beneficial: when I stood up from the table I felt that my posture had improved as a result of the deep flow techniques Tanya had employed- and these improvements have stayed with me in the following days. The music was subtle and calming, and I felt warm and cosy throughout. Tanya is a one-of-a-kind practitioner. Her massage transported me to a whole other world. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

As a bodyworker myself I am very fussy about who I go to for my work related injuries. Tanya is one of the only people I have been to that can make a difference in how I feel almost immediately. Her studio is central and easy to get to, and soooooo beautiful and relaxing. She's the best! read more

I found Tanya after having road-tripped up from Los Angeles, sore back and all (from driving so many miles). Tanya is super friendly, professional and no-nonsense, as well as intuitive in her approach. I left her space feeling better than I had before I made the trip up to BC. Thanks again, Tanya, for all your help! read more

I booked a Let Go session for my birthday with Tanya and was very pleased with the results. Tanya was very attentive and the massage did not feel rushed. It was one of the most relaxing experiences that I have ever had. I've been to many massages in the past, including RMTs because of an accident and I would say Tanya's massage is one of the top ones. Even during covid, I felt very safe visiting her because of her guidelines she had in place. Overall, I would recommend everyone to go visit her. read more

This was exactly what I needed for a couple days vacation out of town. Tanya took the time to understand any injuries or issues I had going on, and then she went to work. I was so relaxed during and after the massage. I received the 90 minute Goddess, which I highly recommended for relaxation. Next time I'm in Vancouver I will be back! read more

Took my boyfriend for his first massage today so I was hoping it would go good. Both girls that massaged were friendly, attentive and very strong! They sure know their stuff! We both feel peaceful, relaxed and pain free! read more

Being on vacation, I usually book a massage. When searching the area for a spa on Yelp, I wasn't able to find one I felt comfortable going to. After reading Tanya's reviews, I took a chance and made a 90 min appointment. One word: amazing! Tanya listened to what I needed, took the time to select the perfect aromatherapy, and I didn't feel rushed. My massage was by far the best one I have had in a long time. She knew exactly how much pressure to apply and I felt relaxed. She is the ideal massage therapist! I will definitely see her again next time I'm in the area. read more

Tanya is truly gifted. A wonderful healing and balanced approach. Will be a regular from now on!

Tanya is incredibly talented, perceptive, relatable. Her space is comfortable, warm. I love her menstrual cup display and her essential oils are out of this world. She is so good with the heating pads and positioning. I can tell she truly cares about her clients and devotes her all to them. Highly recommend! read more

This review is long overdue. I had the pleasure of meeting Tanya last year when I treated myself to the Goddess treatment. I had had my eye on this business for a while, but never followed through on an appointment as I had RMT coverage. Becoming self-employed and anticipating a stressful season ahead, I booked this treatment. It was phenomenal. What Tanya offers is far beyond any RMT treatment I've experienced (over half a dozen practitioners). Tanya is gracious, kind, and you can feel her heart invested in your healing and well-being. The combination of massage, hot stone, and aromatherapy was divine and put me in a state of deep relaxation and peace. There were points during the treatment where I felt actually quite profoundly moved. It's a bit wild, but I thought to myself this is a person who is channeling some divine energy that already knows me and is familiar with my body - I felt like a baby being handled by an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving mother-being. I hope anyone who is seeking a moment for themselves to feel grounded and cared for gives Tanya a try. I will definitely be booking again soon. read more

My massage was wonderful! I really felt as if i could melt right on the table. I was so relaxed at the end of my massage, and at the same time, I felt energized and refreshed. Tanya truly has a gift. I've never felt better. Can't wait for my next one. read more

My body literally craves Tanya's healing hands... often. I feel so cared for I sometimes wonder what I did to deserve it! Thank you so much for always making the time to melt away my aches and pains, Tanya. You're a gem! read more

A friend got me a massage cos I've had a hectic few weeks. Tanya was the tonic I didn't know I needed but now can't imagine doing without. She addressed any injuries or specific areas of sensitivity beforehand. Her selection and quality of oils is superb, her space calming in the middle of the bustling city, her technique deeply intuitive and definitely on point. Her spirit is beautiful. Her hands are magic. I immediately booked another appointment. read more

Tanya squeezed us in for a couples massage last minute. Quick to respond and super helpful. These ladies were amazing!!!!! We were so sore from hiking and needed a little relaxation during our honeymoon. Best decision we made to come here! We even got a little chocolate treat after the massage which put me over the moon! read more

Not a big review writer, but Tanya more than deserves a shout out! She is a true professional, very attentive to a client's needs, and is very available! Same day service was much appreciated, though availability does not suggest poor quality. To the contrary....as an independent provider, her hours are very accommodating! Highly recommend...from one who gets weekly 90 min massages! read more

Tanya is amazing! A true healer goddess. She's intuitive, meticulous and will rock your world! I recommend her to all my clients because you haven't had an extraordinary massage until you've seen T. read more

Fantastic massage on a rainy Sunday afternoon - went feeling stiff & sore, but emerged rejuvenated and back in the game!

Have been longing for a good relaxing massage for a long time and finally I found Tanya! An prior assessment before every massage is done so that she can target the problematic areas. It was an entirely amazing experience after a long search for a good massage place! read more

Had a wonderful pregnancy massage with Tanya while my husband and I were in Vancouver for a long weekend! She has a space in a cool old office building and she's really done a great job creating a spa-like atmosphere. She has certificates on the walls showing all the interesting massage courses she's taken and it shows that she's really dedicated to her profession! I liked her aromatherapy set-up. The intake form asked for favorite scents and then she incorporated those scents into the massage seamlessly. It was a great experience and I absolutely recommend a massage at Breathing Space Bodywork! read more

You don't really need to look any further for a great massage. I was in town due to unfortunate circumstances and after leaving my 90 minute massage, I felt like a new person. I loved the extra attention on the head. I think it's something overlooked and can be so therapeutic. read more

I was traveling to Vancouver for vacation. After days of walking, I needed a therapeutic massage. Tanya did an amazing job. She honed in on my problem areas and was extremely professional. I highly recommend her. In addition, I was able to get in to see her the same day - that was a bonus! read more

My boyfriend was kind enough to give me the greatest gift of all time, a massage. A massage, in and of itself is delightful. However I was not prepared for it to be the exceptionally amazing massage provided by Tanya. Her attention to detail from start to finish, was first class. Being from Las Vegas, the land of overpriced under delivery... I'm used to paying top dollar for massages which in the end, leave me wanting more (and no lol I'm not talking about a "happy ending"). Tanya seems like one day she woke up, and reflected on her craft. She asked herself, what can I do to become the best massage therapist that I can be? And I think she took that question to heart, and came to work the next day, and applied every solution that came in to mind. It's hard to put into words exactly what sets her apart from the rest, but when you've had a "so-so" massage, and then you have the pleasure of being touched by her, you'll know EXACTLY what I mean. But please, do your self a favor, and don't take my word for it. Just treat yourself or someone you love, to the gift of Tanya! read more

This was the best 2 hour massage I have ever received!!! I have been to many 5 star hotel spas from Hawaii to Palm Springs and this was the "Best". I had this today for the beginning of a wonderful birthday.. I think I would like to make this a yearly birthday gift.. Tanya was "EXCELLENT" read more

I got my bf a 1 hour massage for his birthday and he said it was lovely. He really enjoyed it, thank you Tanya!

Tanya was super personable and welcoming- and backed all that up with an awesome massage! I feel like she really listened to how much pressure I was comfortable with, made sure the room temperature was perfect, and even had a chocolate and a glass of water waiting for me at the end of it all! What a relaxing experience- I think i may have even fallen asleep for a second haha. I will definitely be back. read more
