My body started to relax immediately when she started treating me with acupuncture, and I was in a blissful daze for hours after!!! Booking my appointment online was a breeze as well. I plan to incorporate her tips and see where it goes. It feels great to feel seen by someone with such specialized knowledge. It's not just the high quality of the acupuncture itself but the mindset she's putting me in, with practical advices (food, types of movement, even how to frame the whole health thing for me...), that make it worth the trip for me. Can't wait to go back again!

I've been going to Luminae to see Ivy for acupuncture therapy with both my pregnancies and really…read moreloved the calm and clear energy of the space she provides. I went again recently after the birth of my daughter to invest in a little self care with a womb massage from Bianca and it was amazing! Bianca took the time to hear my concerns beforehand and evaluate the current state of my body. The womb massage felt so nurturing and relaxing - so much so that I woke myself from my own snoring! I told Bianca that that rarely happens and speaks to the power of her healing hands which just melted away tension and gave my body the attention it needed postpartum. I highly recommend Luminae and the awesome team of strong, nurturing, and empowering team of women that provide such thoughtful care. I'm looking forward to booking a deep tissue massage next!

When he has not been available, I have had massages from both Amy and Jenny. Both are also excellent with slightly different techniques which is kinda nice for variety.

I'm a former professional athlete, and I've had countless massages over the years. I know what a…read moretruly deep, effective massage feels like--and Andy at Anna's delivers every single time. His technique is precise, intuitive, and powerful. He doesn't just apply pressure; he knows how and where to work. Every session leaves me feeling more mobile, more balanced, and fully restored. I've been coming to Andy for the past six months, usually 2-4 times a month, and I can honestly say the consistency and quality of his work is unmatched. The best part? The pricing is more than reasonable--$97 for a 90-minute massage is a rare find, especially at this level of expertise. In most places, you'd be paying far more for far less. If you're looking for deep, professional bodywork from someone who understands the body and truly cares about what they do, Andy is the one to book.

It's not an overstatement when I call Andreea a life saver. I came to Andreea about 6 months ago in…read moreextreme pain due to a car accident. I had already gone through months of physical therapy and chiropractic care for my neck and back with only minor improvements. I was desperate for pain relief! I knew I needed some deep tissue work and not a superficial feel good massage - Andreea fits the bill! At my first session she did some hands on bodywork and also taught me some somatic exercises to do at home to release and ease the pain and tension. I left in less pain and with tools to help myself. What she was able to teach me in the one session far surpassed the fairly useless stretches and exercises my physical therapists had given me. I've continued to see Andreea and have made leaps and bounds in healing my body. The mix of deep tissue and trigger point techniques shes uses are very effective. She is kind, warm and intuitive and as a larger bodied person, it's noteworthy that I've felt very at ease having Andreea work with me on my body. She's truly a loving healer and empath. The space she works from, Hibiscus Spa, is calm, quiet and welcoming and has easy street parking. She also has very accommodating hours. I'll say it again, Andreea is a life saver!

Although she referred me to a good chiropractor, she worked on me for a short time and I noticed a dramatic difference about ten minutes later. No longer taking pain meds now and was able to swim 2 miles today mostly pain free. She didn't want to charge me because it was short and she felt I needed a chiropractor to adjust. She genuinely cared for my well being. Thank you Andreea.

He is great at targeting problem areas, which mine tend to change with every visit. He can deliver a strong or light touch depending on what you need. I've referred him to my husband and my sister who all agree that he is the BEST! He did a prenatal massage for my sister and she was not disappointed. It can be difficult trusting someone right away when you are 7 months pregnant, but he took great care of my sister and she said she finally slept really really well! I reluctantly submit this review just because Taylor works too much! His fees are too reasonable for the high quality of his work. He's been a long standing local business with a great reputation. More than 5 stars!

He has magic hands--which is striking when those hands belong to a 6'4" gentle giant who moves your body with the precision and tenderness of a craftsman. He reads what you need almost immediately and delivers it with total confidence: deep pressure that actually goes deep, stretches that find the exact angle, movements that feel both powerful and completely safe. What makes him exceptional is the combination--technically masterful, genuinely kind and grounded, and humble about being this skilled. His space is thoughtfully designed, from the lighting to every small detail that makes it feel warm and inviting. Easy parking, fair rates. I hope you can squeeze into his almost always full schedule--do it, take whatever spot he gives you, you will be glad you did!

Truly a family place with the feeling of genuine commitment. And then there is the massage. The massages are superb! Truly exceptional. I like a mix of deep tissue and stretching rather than traditional Thai massage. No problem. Tremendous sensitivity was demonstrated in tuning in to my particular issues; the masseuse knew where the knots and tension points were and released them. The muscles and the energy she felt as she massaged different trigger points were her guide. It was a deeply intuitive massage. I left feeling a deep sense of peace and in touch with my body, mind and spirit. You cannot find a better place for massage in Berkeley or the Bay Area for that matter. Highly and unequivocally recommended!

Joyce is very professional, friendly and her listening skills are excellent. She pays attention to…read morewhat I need and takes notes to make sure she covers everything during the session. Unlike some other masseuses I tried, she doesn't assume what I need but tailors the massage based on my preferences. I used to think I should let the professionals do their thing without giving much input. However, my perspective changed when she explained that while professionals have knowledge, I'm the one living in my body and I know better than anyone where I have tension knots. Thanks to Joyce, I now feel comfortable asking for work on my scalp, elbows, and eyebrows massage or even ask to spend a couple more minutes holding pressure in one spot. As a fellow Virgo, I appreciate very much her attention to details. I've been a loyal costumer for a few months now, with a brief break when she transitioned to her fixed location in the East Bay. I'm glad I moved to the East Bay recently and can see her regularly again. I highly recommend a 1 hour and a half massage if you are looking for a great massage experience.
