I was introduced to Chloe La Bare a few months ago, and feel very fortunate to have met her. She guided me through an area of my life that I have been struggling with all of my adulthood. She helped me see the underlying problems and issues that were blocking me and bring them to light. I experienced a dramatic shift and the positive outcome started to manifest within a few days.. She is a very talented hypnotherapist and I wholeheartedly recommend her! From Sona Yeznaian read more

A friend gifted me a session with Chloe and I had no idea what to expect. I laid in my bed while she took me on a virtual guided hypnotherapy session. An intention was set to show me the way back to the highest expression of myself, after a very difficult year of mourning the loss of my mother, family home, and my work during the Covid pandemic. In a deep state of relaxation, I found it easy to surrender to the journey, listening to the wisdom and guidance of my higher self, along with Chloe's gentle guidance and presence. It was very heart opening, filled with love, white light and healing. Also, after three weeks of after effects from my Covid vaccination, I noticed that I was able to breathe deeply again and my dry cough disappeared. read more

Chloe was able to help me to listen to my body and heart. Guide me to let go because the body does keep score. I would love to have another session with her. read more

I went to Chloe weekly for almost a year until she sadly moved away from where I live. It was the highlight of my week. Every Thursday I knew I would have great sleep and achieve a state of complete relaxation. With her help I was able to lose weight, feel better, get stronger and rehab from a serious accident. I have been to many healers and health care providers in my life and she is easily one of the best I have ever had the privilege of working with. If you are able to get on her schedule, your life will be transformed for the better. I also do remote hypnotherapy with her, and although I was originally skeptical of its ability to work, it worked exceptionally for me. My husband, who believes in nothing and doesn't even love massages, was also super impressed and felt big changes in his body. read more

Chloe has been wonderful to work with! I first started going to her for massage and reiki. I always felt great improvement from her sessions.  After a couple years, COVID 19 hit and we started doing "remote" sessions either by phone or ZOOM Meetings. These sessions improved my wellness even more! These remote sessions involved meditation, hypnotherapy, distance reiki healing, nutrition and well-being coaching. All this improved my health and attitude very much during this crisis. I have also had improvement in my creativity, my ability to resist cravings, and my awareness. She also introduced me to HeartMath, which I now practice for additional relief from anxiety, ability to focus, and stay calm. Chloe is very kind and caring, but also very assertive.  All in all, I'm very glad to have met and worked with her. read more

Chloe is amazing! I have used her both for prenatal and postpartum massages. She is super professional, effective and sweet. +5 stars!!!

Where to start with Chloe? My fiance initially got me a massage coupon with Chloe because I was so tense and stressed. This is probably the greatest gift he has ever given me. With just one session, my upper back and neck tension dissipated and stayed that way for weeks. This was the first massage where I actually left feeling better for an extended amount of time. I have continued to go to her every two weeks. Last week, she recommended magnesium supplement pills based on her evaluation of my specific needs to help with muscle healing. I was somewhat skeptical as I have ordered a number of "gold standard" vitamins and never notice a difference and just stop. But I tried them and I kid you not, I experienced overnight improvement. For the past 4 years, I have had constant tight muscles in my calves and they always hurt no matter how much I stretched. I had resigned myself to having to live like this. Well I took the pills and woke up for the first time in 4 yeras without calf pain. I can't tell you what a relief this was. No other doctor had been able to figure this out. I am eternally grateful. Having one less chronic pain has improved my quality of life in an indescribable way. I will forever be grateful to Chloe and her true holistic healing approach. read more

I was disappointed with my two recent experiences with Chloe. I'll start by saying that her technique, touch, and pressure are superb. She checks in with you regularly and encourages you to incorporate deep breathing during the session. If that is all you are looking for, then this is a good massage. For me, an amazing, 5 (even 4) star massage is much more than that. There are certain professional behaviors that I expect for the price I'm paying (esp. in SF) for 60 min of pure relaxation. Both of my massages did not start on time (10 min +/-, and time was not made up at the end). At the start of both, I expressed that I had TMJ/jaw pain and did not want to be face down for the entire session, yet I ended up face down until the final few minutes. This one is the deal breaker: during both of my massages, there were blatant cell phone distractions (plural, with an "s")(NOT from my phone). These factors made my body tense up rather than get relaxed. I have chronic pain in my neck and shoulders, and have been getting regular massages (monthly to quarterly) for over a decade. In all of the massages I've ever received, being aware of the massage therapist's cell phone has never been (and should never be) an issue. Yet, in the past two months, this was an issue in both massages with Chloe. I expressed my disappointment after the first massage. Chloe was apologetic and appropriately offered to make it up to me in a second session. Unfortunately, the pattern repeated itself in our make up session just a few weeks after the first. As she put it, perhaps we are "not a good match". Chloe has lots of really excellent reviews. However, in my two massages, the experience did not meet my expectations. Maybe I just caught her on her off day...twice. read more

Working with Chloe was so wonderful! Her voice is so soothing and allowed me to sink into the experience so easily. The Heart Math process was so much more than I had anticipated... We did some very deep work in a short period of time that allowed me to find my true heart's desire (that was not what I thought the session would be about!) and uncover the next steps to get closer to it. I am so grateful! read more

I had a great massage. Chloe La Bare is a very skilled Massage Therapist and knows a lot about different massage techniques. Her specialty seems to be using different techniques to compliment each other, she tells you about what she's doing and is open to your input but since I don't know very much about massage I just let her do what she wanted. She uses aroma therapy and soothing music as well as a soothing tone when she reminds you to breathe, it was very relaxing. Best of all she takes my insurance, I've already booked my next session. read more

I've had 3 interactions w/her regarding her massage services and my opinion remains. She was rude! I'm sure she is talented but, hey maybe I caught her on a bad day which we are all entitled to. Go erase this review again Yelp! Whats the point of Yelping when you remove honest reviews for a little $$$$... read more

I don't have a ton of time or disposable income to get massages regularly, but when a recent flare-up in personal drama was causing tension-related back spasms, I had to get some help. I was impressed by Chloe's Yelp reviews, so I shot her an email. Even though she was in a training course the entire next day, she came to give me a massage at 7pm on a Saturday evening, which I thought was really generous of her. What I really liked about Chloe is this wasn't a generic, spa, all-over the body massage. I mean, everyone likes a good rub, but I don't need someone spending 15 minutes massaging my calf if it's my back that's causing the problem. Chloe really targeted the areas where I was having pain, showed me some stretches that would help relieve the pain moving forward, and recommended I supplement my multivitamin to help prevent such painful episodes moving forward. I really can only treat myself to a few massages a year, but sessions with Chloe are totally worth it. Thanks again, Chloe! read more

When I first saw Chloe for the nutritional response testing I was unsure if this approach (she) would be able to help me. However, (I didn't have anything to lose so) I thought it was worth a shot and I'm so glad I was proven wrong! I was initially experiencing pain in my colon, sleep and digestive issues (irregular elimination). My thyroid was also weak when first tested. As it is, I no longer have the pain in my colon and the sleep and digestive issues have improved significantly. My thyroid has also improved a lot. Chloe is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I have been so happy with the results already! This isn't a quick fix since my body needed to absorb the nutrients in order to heal itself. However, I'm excited with the results so far and look forward to improving my health and well-being! I would highly recommend (and I already have) this to all my friends/family who are having issues. read more

I have been a client of Chloe's for about two years. Chloe La Bare is a kind soul, a healer, good humored, sensitive and professional. She provides a relaxed atmosphere and is always concerned and careful about any problems or injuries (I had a serious back injury a few years ago). She is at once powerful and gentle and a real life saver. She has a high commitment to her craft and has studied in other countries to expand her knowledge (she went to Thailand to study Thai massage and brought back some terrific stretches!) She is also an artist and a teacher and I believe brings those talents into her massage practice. Her concern also goes beyond the benefits of massage to a more wholistic approach to health - she encourages awareness of diet and other factors that contribute to overall health and has recommended other professionals/resources in regards to diet, acupuncture etc. Chloe gives a GREAT massage and I would highly recommend her services for your health and relaxation. P.S. In regards to Marie H. who submitted the review below... I don't believe Chloe even knows this person - she is unclear, seems angry and I have to ask why she says she dealt with her three times if she was rude. Does Yelp take a little $$$$ to take down a review? I don't think so... not a credible review IMHO. read more

I have been seeing Chloe for a few months now, having both NRT and Reiki sessions, and they've both helped me a ton. The NRT treatments were mainly to build up my adrenals, kidneys and thyroid and have also helped to detox my body from heavy metals and parasites. The supplements are easy to take and depending on the number of supplements you might need (I have 8), really only take a minute out of your day. As for the Reiki sessions, I noticed a great improvement in both my digestion and overall energy level right after the first treatment and have continued to improve in the few sessions I've had with her since. I definitely recommend Chloe for both NRT and Reiki, her treatments have been very helpful in dealing with the handful of chronic health issues that I've had. read more

Before Chloe, I believed that massages were self-indulgent sessions that I would sign up for at a day spa. I was wrong. Chloe has worked wonders with my hip pain that I had during my second pregnancy. Even after giving birth, I continue to see Chloe on a regular basis because her sessions has helped me maintain a painfree lifestyle that once included hip and shoulder pain, as well as tension. I remember a session in which Chloe worked on my right shoulder. I don't know what I did to it, but somehow I I could barely lift my arm high enough (without pain) to adjust the rearview mirror. After that session, I remember getting into my car and I was able to lift my arm to adjust the rearview mirror! NOW THAT, is an example of Chloe session! I have referred Chloe to my family and friends and they have all thanked me for the introduction; some have even become regular clients. I would highly recommend Chloe; once you've had a session with her, you probably won't view massage as a self-indulgence anymore. ~Jen UPDATE: I don't know who this Marie H. person is and why she is giving Chloe a bad review. I doubt if she has ever had a massage session with Chloe let alone three interactions. I do know that in my interactions with Chloe, she is responsive and not rude at all. There has been times where I've had to reschedule at the last minute, and she has been professional and accomodating. read more

Chloe is amazing...no, seriously. Not only does she rock the knots at massage therapy but she's genuine and an all around delight. sit down young ones and let me tell you a little story of hip flexor horror. there once was a runner than ran too far one day. He ran so far and so hard, that he was limping for days. Enter fairy godmother of massage (Chloe) who worked her mother massage magic on the poor runners hips. In a poof of glitter and puffle dust, the runner was magically restored (in less than 24 hrs) and even went on to run farther (1/2 marathon) in 5 days. Plus as a bonus, she allows you to purchase packages and in installments. Que manifique! read more

I was skeptical about nutritional response testing, but Chloe had already helped me so much through massage, reiki, and breathing and posture exercises, and demonstrated such a sincere and intuitive dedication to optimal wellness, that I was willing to take her advice and give NRT a try. I did initially balk at how many supplements she recommended, but after the first couple of sessions the number of pills dropped to a more reasonable quantity. I felt some moderate improvements early on and we seem to be making steady progress, and I'm looking forward to continued improvement. It's hard to be specific since my symptoms were mostly vague and fuzzy in the first place (achiness, fatigue, etc.) but my sleep quality has definitely gotten better and I have more energy, and my spleen and several other organs that originally tested as weak are now testing at full strength. I trust Chloe's instincts and would recommend her to anyone hoping to address unresolved health issues. read more

Chloe is a FANTASTIC massage therapist! I've been seen her for several month now. She can transform knotted tight body into an optimum one ( I really feel the effect the next day) . She is a very slim person but can give a super deep kneading! She has found tight areas in my body I did not know I had. She also does Reiki ( of which I was not a believer at first, but she treated my GI issue and I noticed pretty clear effect every time) and Nutritional Response Testing(this was a new thing for me too--if you are curious, check it out on the internet--I am going through the process still and it has helped me some so far). I think her fee is very reasonable for the quality of care she offers. Highly recommended! read more

My hypnotherapy session with Chloe (via zoom) was a truly beautiful, life-affirming experience. It was as deep as a healing journey can be. She knew just what to ask or say, and somehow, exactly when to say it. She guided my journey with delicate and imperceptible skill. I've had two sessions with Chloe so far. I am truly grateful to her for helping me find my spirit guides! read more

I have been seeing Chloe for close to 2 years. I started seeing her because my back and neck were a mess of tension which, in perspective, really mirrored my emotional life. I was taking antidepressants, and was overly sensitive to everything around me. the progress I've made with Chloe is amazing. I'm very stubborn so it took awhile for me to really listen to what she was telling me at every session: to take care of myself. After Chloe's Reiki sessions proved very beneficial, I agreed to the Nutrition Response Testing. In terms of energy, I thought it made sense. By gently pressing on the area of my body she was testing, organ by organ, and comparing it to the strength I could output in resisting an objecting force (my outstretched arm resisting her trying to press me down) she could measure which of my organs were weak and which were strong. Based on her findings, she then put a small sample of nutrients into my other hand, and repeated the process. Where I once was weak, I was able to resist against the force she was pressing onto my arm. its so cool to think about; my body knows what it needs and is telling me! Chloe is able to read these signals from my body about how I can become healed. I was prescribed five different herbal formulas that made an immediate difference. I felt more comfortable in my own body, lighter, and more relaxed (huge for me! especially since I hold my tension in my back) I was slowly able to let go more and more. A few months ago, I had made a personal decision to wean off my antidepressants, and my plan was to substitute with Kundalini and other types of breath work. I asked Chloe if there was anything she could do to support my decision medicinally. After I was off the pharmaceuticals, she tested me and prescribed a new floral tincture. This made an immediate difference in my motivational actions. I felt so entirely balanced. Something that for me, was very foreign. After discontinuing the pharmaceuticals, Chloe also discontinued one of the nutrients she was giving me. It makes me think that there are more side effects to prescription drugs than we care to realize. I currently take four herbal formulas, and I really take to heart everything she tells me. Chloe has a great understanding of the healing capabilities of the human body. On a personal note, I feel like once I just let go, and took to heart all the advice Chloe had for me: frequency of appointments, NRT sessions, "homework" muscle breathing posture exercises,,,, once I really had faith in her and myself 100%, I became a new person. I feel my body, I am sensitive to why it does things when I change my diet or sleep or exercise, I am grateful for Chloe's persistence, kindness, and abilities to heal me. I am aware of what I put into my body, the food I eat, the media I consume, the emotional energies from other people, my diet in its fullest scope. I have the Nutritional herbal supplements to complement the balance I continue to seek in my life. read more

I felt so amazing and unbelievably relaxed after Chloe's massage/reiki. She is deeply skilled, intuitive and creates such a great healing experience. Highly recommend! read more

Chloe is great, I got the mix of massage & reiki with her and felt better/great everytime. I would go every week if I could, she has good deals and packages. read more

I received one of the best massages I've ever had from Chloe. I love deep tissue work and she is so strong and completely unafraid to go DEEP! Her combination of Shiatsu, deep tissue and trigger point work is amazing. She has that perfect balance of having a firm touch without being rough or harsh. In fact, her manner is very soothing and calm. My shoulders and upper back felt so alive and tingly after the massage. I had much greater mobility in my muscles. I'm looking forward to more massages from her. I encourage you to give yourself the gift of a wonderful massage from Chloe! read more

Prior to NRT, I was familiar with the concept of muscle testing to understand the body's priorities for attention. NRT uses this concept and has a specific whole foods supplement regimen that is customized per person. During my first session, several areas came up as priorities and I was given a supplement schedule. After 2 months, all priorities tested strong and I experienced better sleep, more energy, and calming of chronic digestive issues. In all, I simply felt more like myself. I now no longer have priority areas and have moved on to a cleansing formula to help detoxify (best to first strengthen the body before detoxifying). It is going well, and I'm so grateful to have found NRT! Chloe's bedside manner is like an angel, which makes the process all that more supportive. read more

I first went to Chloe last spring when a friend of mine that sees her regularly gave me a gift certificate for a session with her. I have had many massages from a lot of different practitioners over the years, but Chloe is truly exceptional. She's physically very strong and knowledgable about her craft, and this is balanced by a very intuitive and soft demeanor. With each session I've had with Chloe she's been able to tune right into my body and my body's needs on that particular day. I also feel like she does a remarkable job of helping me to remain present in my body throughout the massage, encouraging me to breathe, checking in with me. I end up feeling more engaged, and ultimately, enjoy more lasting effects from the massage. She's wonderful! read more

I have been going to Chloe for massage for several months and have found her to be very helpful. She knows so much about the body and teaches as she massages. She has helped me with some long-term work related issues and helped me understand the causes and the ways I could relieve the stress I put on my body in so many ways. She maintains that we could do well to have good therapeutic massage in order to avoid the use of medications and surgery for some of our physical problems. This makes good sense to me along with the understanding that we do not need to feel old and sore as our bodies age. Yesterday she used Reiki with me for the first time. It was quite amazing how the congestion I was feeling because of having laid on my stomach during the session was quickly relieved by the process. I could feel such heat passing from her hands to my body. It was a totally relaxing experience, very healing. I plan to keep going to Chloe regularly, I have found a jewel and I hope you will, too. read more

I saw Chloe for the first time recently and the experience was wonderful! She did a combination of deep tissue massage, shiatsu, and finished with reiki. It was overall extremely relaxing and she maintained really great pressure during the massage. I'm used to massage therapists being a little too light with their touch, but this wasn't a problem. I would definitely recommend Chloe to friends looking for a great masseuse in SF! read more

Chloe La Bare is the most amazing massage therapist I've ever had and I've had quite a few massages, both in San Francisco and New York City! I couldn't believe how she released all the pent up energy in my body. She has strong hands which go right to your problem areas, like an intuitive laser beam. My whole upper body was buzzing with my chi energy both during and after the treatment. I've never felt that feeling before except with acupuncture. read more

I had an excellent experience with Chloe. Her knowledge of NRT very much helped me restore a sense of balance to my body to include an improvement in my sleep cycle, decrease in joint pain, and control over acid reflux. Chloe is incredibly talented, empathetic, and in tune. Over the course of 5 sessions, we targeted problem areas and worked together to address them. I am very much a believer in NRT after my experience with Chloe. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

When I worked with Chloe, she was amazingly receptive and really listed to what I was needing. Her touch is compassionate, and I felt really taken care of. I think she has an amazing service and a caring personality. read more

'Distance Reiki' from Chloe has been astonishing. For five years, her regular Reiki (and massage) had been making my intractable muscular and vascular pain go away. When our schedules changed and I couldn't get over to her office as often, she suggested phone-assisted Reiki. I was convinced it wouldn't work, since it couldn't be hands-on. But I was wrong. I lie down in my own home miles away. By phone, Chloe asks what's going on--body or emotional distress or discomfort. Then we hang up; I set my timer for 40 minutes, close my eyes, and stay in contact with my body and my state of mind. Sometimes I distinctly feel a marvelous shift inside that is distinctly not just the result of sensing within (a regular practice of mine). Sometimes it's only after the session that I realize the pain is gone, or that I now feel more peace, ease, optimism, sweetness--or that I start getting really good ideas for how to resolve a problem that had been weighing me down. Or all of the above. Then I phone Chloe and tell her what happened for me. She tells me what she perceived and experienced during the session, and here's where it gets really remarkable. Sometimes she sensed pain in a part of MY body that I'd forgotten to tell her about, and worked on that. Sometimes she had received an impression of what, specifically, is trying to move into or through my body that I am resisting (such as a stream of warm light pouring through me from back to front at chest level), leading to the particular kind of emotional pain or low self-esteem I've been feeling, and tells me about it. Then, over weeks and months, things change with my issue--even outer conditions, such as the way others treat me--that bear out the truth of the visions of me that she "saw" during the session, and/or the value of the specific ways of moving that she recommended. Her insights also often support the results (that I had not told her) of depth-psychological and spiritual practices I've already trusted for many years. Body-based "intuitive" pronouncements have always seemed to me rather woo-woo. And it does make a difference who one's practitioner is; some are clearly imposing their own fuzzy beliefs on the results of an irrelevant or clumsily-applied physical procedure. But Chloe has that ability--an authentic gift, I'd say--to tune in to universal energies that heal. And as we proceed with these sessions over time, I feel a kind of cumulative effect that is very supportive. It seems to be the Reiki, too; Chloe is an encouraging, positive person, but this is distinctly an added level of healing depth and power. read more

I have been seeing Chloe regularly for almost a year now to help me with chronic back pain and headaches that were the result of several car accidents. After 8 years of having a headache every single day, Chloe has helped me get to the point where I only have one or two a week! I have seen massage therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists, had CAT scans and MRIs, taken drugs etc, and nothing has helped me improve as much as my sessions with Chloe. As others have said, Chloe really targets your problem areas and has a lot of techniques in her arsenal to do this. She does wonders relieving tense, knotted areas through deep tissue work and sometimes stretching. She is also a proponent of Reiki, which I had never experienced before and was a bit skeptical of, but as I said--I was willing to try almost anything. I have no idea how or why Reiki works, but it definitely seems to be working! I always feel much better when I walk out of her room, and often my headache continues to improve over the next few hours after my session. I highly recommend Chloe, especially to anyone with chronic issues. I have seen a lot of massage therapists in the Bay area and elsewhere, and Chloe is one of the best I've encountered. And her package-rates make it much easier to make massage a regular part of your life! read more

Chloe is a genius! As part of treating my issues with chronic pain, Chloe introduced a breathing technique that has worked wonders for me. It's called "the breath of fire." I've been able to relax more deeply than ever thanks to this breathing technique. She taught me how to focus on breathing through my solar plexus in a way that allows the rest of my body to completely relax. I now do this practice a few times a day for just a few minutes and I'm getting much better at relaxing no matter what I might be doing. Thanks Chloe! read more

Chloe La Bare is a very skilled and compassionate massage therapist. She listens carefully to your problem and uses the most effective technique to address the issue. I have benefitted greatly from my sessions with her, and she has helped to relieve the excruciating pain I experience from fibromyalgia. I highly recommend Chloe! read more

Had a wonderful massage with Chloe earlier today. I went in with the simple direction that I was feeling stressed, and hopeful she could come up with something that would make me feel better. Chloe has an arsenal of different massage tricks - she mixed up some deep muscle work, aromatherapy, oil massage and reiki (energy healing). The combination worked beautifully. I have had a lot of massages - what made Chloe unique was her intuitive ability to find the right muscles and tension areas. The combinative approach of her massages was really great too. Highly recommend. read more

Chloe does a body good! I initially went to Chloe for a chronic pinch nerve in my upper back (all those long days in front of a computer...), after a few sessions with Chloe, the pinch nerve was gone! I've been having regular sessions with Chloe for a few years now and she has done nothing but good for my body. Every time my session is over, I feel lucid, relax, and so much less tense. Chloe's specialize in pressure point and shiatsu, but she also does Thai massage and deep tissue. What ever your body needs, she will provide. She can feel out your problem areas and work with you to fix it, if there's areas you want to focus on, she will accommodate. Chloe takes pride in her profession and continually tries to help improve her client's wellness. She remembers her client's needs and problem areas, and genuinely cares. She is always thinking of ways to help her clients from dietary supplements to exercise to other wellness treatments. read more

Having massages with Chloe is a treat! She is caring and takes the time in asking what your needs are and pays attention to those problem areas once the session begins. She is a very gentle and intuitive masseuse in that she feels for what your body needs and respond to the tensions accordingly. She has this great ability to get to the crux of that tension held in my muscles and melting it away. She conducted reiki after my massage, and it took me to a deeper level of relaxation. Both times that I went to see her, I left feeling centered and my energy recalibrated! read more

I highly recommend Chloe whether you're seeking massage therapy for relaxation or a specific injury or due to discomfort. I had a back and neck pain and saw an M.D. who said I had a vertebrae impinging on a nerve in my neck. Physical therapy and a cortisone injection to alleviate the neck pain were prescribed. Unfortunately neither provided much relief. In lieu of a second cortisone injection - and surgery if the injection didn't take - I opted for chiropractic care. The pain persisted throughout the six months of care and I was beginning to lose hope. A coworker gave me a gift certificate for a session with Chloe and I had my first appointment with her in June 2008. We had sessions twice a week for about six weeks and progressively my neck and back pain subsided. At present I rarely have a day with pain. I've continued to see Chloe, though less frequently, and have been relatively pain free for weeks, which has greatly enhanced my quality of life. Needless to say, I didn't go back to the second cortisone injection or the surgery. read more

I'm following up on my first review just to re-state how amazing Chloe is as a massage therapist and a person. She deserved five stars before, she deserves it now, and she will keep deserving five stars. The best massage and healing work I've experienced! read more
