I made a surprise massage booking for my wife and I 60% through our weeklong "explore Yosemite" trip. 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. read more

I worked in the industry: Before retirement I oversaw one of the world's largest ( 200 room 5 Star facilities 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. read more

I absolutely love getting massages and am always looking for a reasonable price point. So when I saw $80 for an hour I was excited to give Brightfire a try. I had been going to Sonora where I could get a $60 massage for an hour but then I'd have to drive 1.5 hours round trip which is pretty much the opposite of relaxing so I figured an extra $20 was well worth it. Boy did I underestimate how truly valuable a Brightfire massage is! I conveniently made my appointment by text message and was assigned to Trinity. I figured eventually I'd like to have Nicole give me a massage since I've heard such great things about her but Trinity has been so incredibly great at what she does that I'm hooked! I've had about 5 massages now and have loved every single one. They are the perfect blend of relaxing and therapeutic. I strongly recommend going here, you will not be disappointed! The treatment you'll receive is unexpectedly high end, similar to a resort spa but better with it's custom services and no hidden fees. Be prepared to select an essential oil to unwind to, hot stones to soothe your muscles and a heated neck wrap to end your session. Oh and if you don't know what Ashiatsu is, you're in for a pleasant surprise! read more

Nicole put an hour into addressing an old shoulder injury that flared up, immediately zeroed in on the source, and worked it aggressively but kept it tolerable and pleasant, too. A great result, and admiration for her expertise! read more

Came for the first time to her new spot in downtown Groveland and can't wait to go back. Had a pretty bad neck pain that went away within a few days after Nicole put her hands on it. Very relaxing and clean place with the most beautiful atmosphere. Everything about it was exactly was I was looking for. Definitely going back. read more
