I have to say 1st that I wrote a review that posted here for 2 stars when it was meant for a different massage place! My apologies to this business, luckily it's only been about a week before I realized my mistake. Here's one for Penny specifically. One of the best masseuse I've ever had. She knows her stuff, methodical and healing. A little hard to get an appointment with her but oh so worth the wait, every time! The place is UPSTAIRS, that should help you find it. Always clean, cozy and comfortable. Great online booking system too. read more

I had a great massage with Katie. She adapted to what I needed and left me completely relaxed. Since I'm not from Davis, it took longer than I expected to find the location, but I will gladly go back. I liked the peace and privacy of the location. read more

When I decided to treat myself to a massage after a long day weekend of moving, I landed on Davis Massage Center because of the amazing Yelp reviews, and because of the ability to book online. My appointment was with Penny, and after finding my way upstairs, I was promptly greeted by her. There isn't really a waiting area, so there isn't really a point to getting there too early, but that didn't bother me. Once I was greeted I was brought back to Penny's room where we went over what I wanted, and my personal preferences for essential oils, lotions, pressure, etc. Once my massage started I was in pure bliss. The room was the perfect temperature, and my massage was heavenly. I actually ended up drifting off towards the end because I was just SO comfortable. This is definitely the place I'll be coming back to next time I want to treat myself! read more

A body sore from some recent long hikes, I finally scheduled the gifted massage from a few friends. Katie was so in tune with my body and muscles, applying the right amount of pressure for relief AND relaxation, I almost fell asleep multiple times. This place is my favorite in Davis so far. The little things like the hot towel at the end and the fleece sheets make a huge difference in comfort and relaxation. Highly recommended. read more

After a very long and stressful work week I decided to treat myself to a massage. So glad that I found Davis massage center and Kelly. I came in and Kelly was literally waiting for me as soon as I walked in. She led me to one of the two rooms and I had to fill out a questionnaire about what kind of pain I was experiencing. Since I came early filling out the questionnaire didn't cut into my massage. The room is very inviting and puts you at ease right away. I told Kelly that I was having shoulder and back pain so she focused on those two areas. Everything she did, she asked first about the pressure, if I wanted more and if it was ok to use scented oil. Some places and masseurs have a routine and stick to it. I also liked how her hands were warm, not clammy at all. Plus the room was nice and toast as well. In my opinion the 30 minutes went by way too quickly. But since it was my first time I didn't want to be there for an hour and not enjoy the massage. After the massage was over she offered a warm towel to wipe the excess oils off and a glass of water if I were thirsty. There isn't a waiting room so I wasn't able to book another appointment, standing room only. For payment they do accept cash,card, and check. read more

I booked an appointment for my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. He showed up at the correct time and date for his appointment only to come straight home afterward. It turned out that someone else had come in and stolen his spot. I'm disappointed that they did not have a thorough way of checking for the correct customer information. Chelsea offered my boyfriend to come back a couple of hours later. I ended up paying full price despite the mishaps. My boyfriend did say that it was an amazing massage, one of the best that he's ever had in his life, and insisted that I leave a good review. read more

i try to visit as often as possible; cool business in davis. they have cushy massage tables. the entry way is a procession of hanging plants -- giving one the feeling of escaping reality through a jungle-scape of plants. every precaution is taken against covid, so you can actually relax and not worry. excellent temperature control so you stay properly heated or cooled during the massage. you can treat yourself afterwards to a milkshake nearby--situated downtown makes it very convenient. you leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. very zen environment. read more

See all

My massage was amazing. Katie did a wonderful job and tailored to what I needed . Will definitely be back

Like many, I ended up in the Davis Massage Center because of their excellent Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. Now, Chelsea is my go-to massage therapist in Davis! She's clearly very knowledgeable and is great at adjusting the massage based on your needs. I really like massage therapists who can work with different levels of pressure, and she does that very well. I highly recommend Davis Massage Center if you're looking for your massage fix! read more

I received an outstanding, relaxing, therapeutic massage from Katie a couple of weeks ago. She was professional, kind, and the pressure was just right. I went in with tight, sore muscles and left relaxed and comfortable. Thanks, Katie - I will be back! read more

Relaxing, professional, and great ambiance. Felt like I stepped into another realm. No scented products in the space, as far as I could tell from my KN95. Dim lighting. Online system is very convenient. Katie is great! read more

Absolutely amazing massage by Katie! The massage felt tailored exactly to my body and my mentioning to Katie of my tension headaches stemming from tight neck and shoulders. I cannot recommend Davis Massage Center enough. Feeling truly relaxed and amazing. Will be coming back! read more

Chelsea is an excellent therapist--she's good enough to put you to sleep, but she's also adept at treating problem areas (sciatic nerve, in my case) and at responding to feedback. During my last treatment with her, she worked my lower back, glutes, and legs for the hour, and my sciatic nerve really felt much better. read more

Just went and had my first massage with Pennie. She is such a delight and made me feel very comfortable. She was open to answering any questions I had. As for my massage it was amazing! I felt all of my stress melt away and felt like a new woman! I'll definitely be back! Thanks Pennie! read more

I had the most wonderful experience and relaxing massage with Penny. She was so sweet and knowledgable and made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable. The room was beautiful and the entire experience was great. One of the best massages I've had, and I left feeling so refreshed. I will absolutely be coming back (and gifting her massages to my friends and family)! Thanks Penny! read more

Kelly is an amazing massage therapist! I have booked 90min and even 120min full body Swedish massages w/ her because she is that good. I have had many professional massages around the Sacramento area and her table is by far the softest and most comfortable, more like a massage bed. She has excellent technique that will have you leaving refreshed. Just be sure to account for parking because it can get crowded sometimes. read more

Possibly the best massage I've ever gotten. Chelsea and Bryanne are wonderful. Their massage techniques really hit the spot and leave a lasting effect. I wish they had a couples room, though. Right now, the place is set up with two separate rooms. No biggie though because their awesome massages make up for it. Will definitely return. read more

I received a gift certificate for a massage and booked online with Katie (which was very simple). The business is located upstairs behind the Old Dumpling House. Very small, but well appointed and pleasant. Katie was very friendly, easy to talk to and provided one of the best massages I've had in awhile. I felt very comfortable and will definitely be back! read more

Chelsea is phenomenal! I have had massages from various therapists, and Chelsea is by far my favorite; and she's even better than those at large facility, professional-type spas and the ones at five star resorts (not to mention you pay triple). It only took me one 60 min massage to be convinced, which I then subsequently bought a 10 one-hour package deal immediately after. Anyway, I highly recommend Chelsea! I have to force myself not to go too often so as not to get spoiled. read more

Chelsea is, hands down the best massage therapist I have ever been to or could ever ask for. She is in-tuned with my body and listens attentively to my problem areas and customizes each massage to those requests. The atmosphere is calming and she makes the massage about you and your needs. Its hard not to spend my extra money on anything else but a 90 minute with her. I have recommended her to several friends, who have all been equally as pleased with her massage abilities and her lovely presence. Thank you, Chelsea! You are a lifesaver :) read more

I had my first massage with Chelsea today and it was AMAZING. I came in because of a car accident last week and was in a lot of pain. Chelsea tuned into my body and helped me to relax and let go so much I fell asleep twice! I have had many massages over the years and this was one of the best. I will definitely be coming back. Davis Massage Center has gained a happy and loyal new client in me. read more

Katie was my massage therapist today and it was the best massage I've ever had. I've gotten quite a few massages over the years as part of my wellness and relaxation and this massage was the best! She knows what she is doing! Definitely coming back and requesting her :) read more

I found Amanda by accident- I called after hurting my back one Saturday and thought I called the place closest to me. She called back and not only fit me in very quickly, but she listened to me explain my problem areas before giving the "smartest" massage I've ever received. She personable and lovely and I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon her. I feel like a new woman. read more

This hidden little gem is amazing! My boss gave me a gift certificate for my birthday and I called on Monday and got an appointment for Thursday to see Bryanne and she was perfection! This was my first massage since I broke my foot earlier this spring so I was a bit worried it would make my foot swell and feel worse. Boy was I wrong! She gave the perfect amount of pressure and made all my worries melt away. I will be back soon! read more

I loved the ambience. Penny gave me very relaxing massage with hot stones. It was relaxing and very pleasant. I will come back again!

After tweaking my neck from a bad nights sleep, I made a lunchtime appointment with Bryanne. I explained my issues and concerns and she made a huge improvement on how I felt! I will definitely be going back to her in the future and highly recommend her for a deep tissue massage. read more

Amanda is absolutely the best massage therapist I have ever seen. I live in Southern California now and make an appt. to see her when I am in town. I thought I had found a great massage therapist in my area, but I saw Amanda recently and there really is just nobody like her. She is so talented. I have to visit Davis soon just to see her again. read more

Bryanne was incredible! I felt like I was getting a massage from a goddess with a thousand arms. I often have trouble relaxing--hence the massage--even during massages, but I felt my stress and brain worries draining away the whole time. Bryanne met with me ahead of time to ask about my pressure preference and areas that were bothering me. She did a phenomenal job of listening. I've never felt so relaxed after a massage, and never had such a pleasant and relaxing experience during. I could never have imagined falling asleep during a massage before, but I came close this time! I highly recommend her and will definitely be returning. read more

Chelsea was great and I felt relaxed after the appointment, Will go back soon.

Bryanne gave me the best massage I've ever had. Totally in zen mode right now! Before she got started, she asked about my preferences and any problem areas. Since I had been experiencing some soreness from running, she made sure to focus on the legs. Afterwards, she gave me some suggestions for self-care, so I'm looking forward to trying those out later. I highly recommend her and would return in a heartbeat! read more

I received a massage from Chelsea a little over a month ago and it was just lovely! She has a very soft approach and yet just the right firm depth. She knew just how to tailor my massage to what my muscles needed. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. Chelsea's massage environment is very comforting and soothing - the perfect place to just check out and dissolve in bliss! I highly recommend her as a skilled massage therapist that won't disappoint you! read more

Very good service! Calm and relaxing environment once you step in. Very personable staff that listens to your needs and wants for your massage. I had the 30 minute session since it is my first time getting a professional massage, and very impressed with the results! Got my upper back and neck done, and I no longer feel the tensions anymore! Definitely recommended and 5 star service and quality! Coming back soon! read more

Bryanne is an amazing massage therapist. I love her demeanor as well as her technique. So glad I found her, almost hesitate to share her but that would not be fair. read more

I got a full body massage from Pennie and she was amazing! She was very attentive to my needs and gave me one of the greatest massages I've ever had. She really listened and worked on all of my problem areas. I definitely recommend Davis Massage Center & Pennie! :) read more

I was in town for a few days and came here based on reviews. It did not disappoint! Pennie was lovely and did a fantastic job easing the tension in my shoulders and neck. I would highly recommend coming here. Thanks Pennie! read more

This place was horrible, the worst massage I have ever had. They were late to begin with and I was waiting outside, the place was not even open on a weekday before 12pm. The room wasn't ready, the massage therapist was quickly trying to clean up the room as we were both walking in. Not only did the place look shabby, but my therapist was sick! She said it was just allergies, however, she sounded like a frog and was coughing uncontrollably throughout my massage. I made the massage appointment because I've been experiencing a lot of stress in my life lately and just wanted a relaxing massage. It is VERY difficult to relax when your massage therapist is coughing all over you. Now looking back, I wish I would just have stood up, got dressed and left, but I was really wanting a massage and wishing the massage would get better. This place is in a bad location where you can hear street traffic and it was far from relaxing when my therapist had to restart the relaxing music several times during my massage. I left the place feeling more stressed than I had when I came in and worried that I might get whatever cold she had. I also left with $70 less in my pocket, which was $5 more than their website advertised for a student discount. This place is a joke, and I don't recommend going there! read more

Kelly B. Gave me such a wonderful massage (as always). But this time was different. I needed pain management for a spontaneous back spasm. She provided a calm, soothing energy, which is exactly what I needed. Her pressure was perfect and she was able to relieve me from all the pain I was experiencing. I couldn't be more thankful. read more

I just got home from an amazing massage with Chelsea. She did exactly what I wanted, the center is cute and comfortable, and I feel great. Thanks Chelsea! I would definitely return to see her again soon. read more

Made last minute reservations on Friday night for Sunday afternoon massages for both me and my freshman son (his first). Online reservation system was super easy to use and much appreciated at 11pm. Pennie was my therapist and did a phenomenal job of attacking my stressed out knotted up back. Maria did a great job in getting my son to relax after midterms, to the point he "thinks" he may have dosed off! Would highly recommend and plan on making many visits during the next 4 years my son will be at UC Davis!! read more

Both Amanda and Chelsea are wonderful. They have different massage styles. Both are proactive about asking what style/pressure of massage one wants, and are talented masseuses. They are easy to schedule with usually, and try to be flexible/work with your schedule. I highly recommend Davis Massage. read more
