Go see Bill! I'm Thai American and have had plenty of real Thai massages in Thailand -- the local…read morekind, not the tourist kind -- and this is on another level. WOW. The 4+1 Thai Solution Massage (Nuad Benja Phakhi), which is definitely not your traditional "stretch and press" Thai massage. Let's start with Bill -- he has amazing energy--calm, compassionate, and completely devoted to healing. He listens, stays fully present, and with his methods, finds tension you didn't even know existed. This style of massage works on the root causes in the tendons, not just the surface symptoms in sore muscles. And you stay fully clothed the entire time -- no lotions or oils -- just pure, focused bodywork. At first, I wasn't sure about booking a full 2-hour session, but I trusted the other 5-star reviews here, and I'm so glad I did. It gave him time to address my entire body. Each touch felt customized and responsive -- nothing about it felt routine or transactional. I walked out feeling light, loose, and completely reset. In fact, I felt so good I bought a package and I booked my next two appointments before even leaving! Years of muscle and tendon overuse can't be fixed in one visit, but this made a huge dent. I'm excited to keep coming weekly and eventually move to a maintenance cadence -- whatever Bill recommends, I trust him completely. If you want a massage that's intuitive, detailed, and truly healing -- book Bill. You'll be so glad you did. Thank you N' Bill!!

Bill is a god-sent Thai massage therapist that I want to gatekeep for myself, but I also think he…read moreshould be known to the world as the best of his kind in this field. You'll find nobody like him in the Bay Area if you are seriously looking for an absolutely natural treatment that 100% cure your body pain problem!!!

I tried heat, acupuncture, theragun, muscle relaxers, tiger balm, relaxing massage, etc., and it got a tiny bit better but came back with a vengeance this week. Last night at 11:30 pm as I couldn't sleep because of the giant knot that was taking over my neck, I looked for deep tissue massage for this morning, and was so glad I found Dusit Thai. Tai was my therapist and is the owner and she basically saved my life. She did a combination of deep tissue Swedish (I think) massage and had great strong pressure and clearly a lot of knowledge and understanding about anatomy as she worked on both my neck things that weren't my neck but made my neck feel much better. At the end she said, "This might feel a little weird but if you're willing to sit on the floor rug and lean against the table, I can use my knees to get even deeper." I put my clothes on and sat on the floor and I couldn't see what she was doing but somehow she put all her weight in her knee and the knee on my shoulder and it was the best thing that's ever happened to my muscle knots. They have Thai, Swedish, and deep tissue massage and also reflexology. They can do a combination of things like they did for me. I will DEFINITELY be back and I recommend you all check it out!

Love the ambience, the soft relaxing mellow music, her soft touch was in synch with the flow of music therefore it was truly relaxing! What I connected with Vivian most was that she could communicate in Cantonese when majority of the spas I've been to staffs could only converse in Mandarin, but aside from that Vivian's english was also great and not very limited at all. She personally said she takes pride in doing a great job so she could have more returning customers! I'll definitely be coming back! As for her massage, she touched my soul when she massaged my head, neck and face, she was able to tell my neck needed to be loosened up, sounds like a massage guru there! She gave my hips and feet a great stretch too! Towards the end she pointed out there's still 8 mins left out of the hour, anywhere that still needs work on? I simply said "idk" and she decided to massage my head and face once more because she knew she hit gold! Didn't missed any limbs and went the full hour! Just take my money again! Thanks again Vivian!

From the moment I arrived, she created a calm and welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was how attentive and knowledgeable Erin was throughout the session. She listened carefully to the issues I was experiencing and focused on the areas causing the most discomfort. The massage was not only relaxing, but incredibly effective. I left feeling significantly better, with much less pain and tension than I had been dealing with before. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, skill, and genuine care the way Erin does. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone dealing with back pain, stress, or muscle tension.

This review is a bit overdue but I needed time to cool off because my experience at W Body & Foot…read moreSpa left me fuming. Yes, the space is beautiful and the staff was cordial, but the massage itself was terrible. I had been looking forward to this massage for days and from the beginning something felt off. They require you to pay before the massage and now I know why! This was hands down the worst massage I've ever had, and I've had many over the years. The masseuse had me undress, covered me with a sheet, and then proceeded to use their elbows to rub my body. They do not use their hands or oils to massage you. For the first 15 minutes, they were grinding their elbow into my spine, it was painful. I asked them to stop and ended the 60-minute massage early, something I've never done before. Due to a language barrier, I went to the front desk to explain the situation. Instead of handling it privately, she awkwardly brought the masseuse out and asked me to explain my complaint to them, which put me in an uncomfortable position. It felt intentional, as if to discourage me from pushing the issue. To make matters worse, I was handed what I initially thought was a voucher for another massage. When I asked for clarification, I was told it was actually just a $5 off coupon. This was insulting given the circumstances. I was not offered a refund of my $75, and more importantly my time was wasted. Save yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere.

They have a sheet to circle ur focus spots on the front and back of ur body and then I was roomed after. The room was really clean and smelled good too with quiet tranquil music. I got a full hour massage and I think the masseuse really did take time on the focus zones and followed my preferred pressure level. She checked in a couple times as well which was nice. After the massage, I got dressed and had a cup of water in the front. The location is in a plaza so even if you go late at night, many shops are actually still open to peruse. Would recommend coming at night and treating yourself to window shopping too.

She asks lots of questions that are pertinent to your needs, what your comfort level is, how your last session felt afterwards, and where you'd like to focus on. I've found that communicating with her has really elevated my own healing, and she's willing to work with you to focus on the specific knots you'd like to work on while also providing feedback on other areas that your body is communicating needs work. She also asks you what your chiropractor (if you see one) has mentioned needs work so that she can work cohesively with your doctors to create a custom health plan that works to restore your body. As someone who has hypermobility issues, chronic pain, and frequent muscle and joint injuries, Suzanne's careful administration of anatomical knowledge as well as how to loosen the angry, inflamed muscles has been integral in getting my body back in balance. I came in because my tailbone and right hip were painful to move or even touch, and in just 3 sessions she was able to focus intently on those specific muscle areas and untangle a good portion of the aches away! She's incredibly flexible to work with, responsive with texts, and overall cares for your well-being. I also find her multi-session package to be reasonable compared to local competitors, especially if you have an injury area that requires more than one session. I'm glad to have found her and it's clear from her other clients that she's a well-respected practitioner doing good in the community with her hands and heart.
