I had an appointment at 1pm today and I got a text on my way there that she would be half hour…read morelate. I have no intention to wait for half hour in a parking lot especially that I have some plans for after the session. So I cancelled and she sent me another text to say we would not be a good fit as she is very flexible with the appointments! I guess people time is of no concern to her. I don't know how good she is but no one is good enough to disrespect other people' schedule. I find this extremely rude.

As a patient with chronic neck and back pain, I have sampled quite a few massage therapists over…read morethe years and Julia is probably the best one I've ever seen. I was able to get an appointment with her within the week, and she usually responds quite promptly to texts. Julia's place and her attitude are both no-frills. She asked me in which area I was feeling pain, and took over all the rest. You can tell from the way she treats your body that she knows exactly what she is doing - somehow, she manages to work at the spots that you didn't even know were sore! I love going to Julia because it feels as if I go in with a body that is all twisted and crooked and she slowly straightens every piece of it out. She is absolutely amazing and has a true gift. Julia is also funny, friendly and straightforward, and I feel cared for and better after each visit with her.

My first time encountering Clara was at a bustling night market with different vendors from all…read moreover the bay area. I passed by a few times while she was working with other clients and looked through her booklet out of curiosity. I rarely get massages, and while I have heard of reiki/hilot, I wasn't the most familiar with what it entailed. I decided to opt for a shorter session that was offered at the night market to try for my first time. Clara was incredibly welcoming, calming, and communicative. I'm sure she could feel how nervous I was, but under her experienced hands and nurturing aura - it didn't take long to feel my nerves ebbing away. Honestly, the entire experience (as a novice) felt like magic. I can't quite put into words how I felt after, but it truly seemed to penetrate beyond the physical realm. Clara picked up immediately on areas of my body I felt soreness and worked on areas that needed to be tended to without any verbal requests on my end. After the massage, she shared intuitive messages that she picked up on during our short session and I was caught off guard at the accuracy of her words. While this first session was a short and sweet introduction - it definitely wont be the last. I will absolutely be checking out her local studio for another session. If you are in any way intrigued with energy work or a fan of massages in general - I would highly recommend booking a session with Clara. You wont regret it!

When entering Clara's studio, I could already feel the stress melting away, from the calming oil…read morescents from the diffuser, to the soothing music and soft lighting. The relaxing ambiance was everything. And on top of that, her greeting me in such a caring, warm, and compassionate way - I appreciated so much. She went over her process and how the massage, in addition to being healing, also will help me alleviate and release stress and negative energies. And I can confidently say that is what enfolded - during the massage, she was so in-tune and really listened to my body, paying close attention to certain spots that needed more work, and which areas needed more release. In fact, she was so in-tuned that she helped alleviate and could sense how much tightness I kept within my chest from stress - something I've been struggling personally with for a long time. What drew me to her practice was what her brand stands for - empowering and supporting you in your healing journey, to release the negative energies from your body, and restoring to a better self. If you book a session with her, you'll be in such great care that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and restored - body, heart, and mind. The entire experience from end-to-end was so wonderful, I highly recommend Clara! I'm so excited for my next sessions with her, and to share with all my family/friends about her amazing work!

I had booked lymphatic massage with Jane's Therapy after seeing great reviews about her massages…read more I received reminder via text message which was helpful. She's operating out of her home in Santa Clara. Finding her place was easy- she also came to parking area to make sure I find the place. A few things that led to a meh experience- I have been to multiple places, including some who operate out of home, so naturally I'm comparing against those. This one felt weird. 1. The table is set up in the living room with one divider to cover shorter side (head) only, so the table is exposed in the longer side and quite open, with almost zero privacy. 2. Communication: I was expecting lymphatic massage but she suggested lymphatic is not good as it is very mild. Instead she would do a combination of lymphatic and will use pressure points. She kept pushing for it so I reluctantly agreed. During the massage she checked a couple of times about pressure, which was good. However the massage itself was just okay. Towards end of the massage she said her fingers hurt because she had to massage using fingers vs elbow. And she asked if I still wanted lymphatic but we are already at one hour at that point - that felt very off and weird. I declined because I didn't know if that would mean extra cost or not. It was also weird that she rolled her eyes as it to indicate it's a burden for her. The bed was warm but room was cold, with sofa and all open mess around. Overall it was pretty bad experience. It could be because she operated out of her home, but it was weird.

I had been searching for a good massage therapist for a few years now, ever since a friend of mine…read morewhom I had been going to retired. I had tried several places around town and would pretty much always end up with the same results; I'd feel better for a few hours or maybe a day if I was lucky. The problems seemed consistent no matter where I went. The therapists would always have either too soft of pressure or painfully inconsistent pressure as they struggled through their set list of pre rehearsed strokes. I felt like I had finally given up when a friend of mine called me to ask for a ride home from a massage appointment he was finishing up at. I asked him about the therapist and he had a lot of good things to say about Holly. Skeptic as always, but still very open minded and willing to give it a chance I called and made my first appointment. From the moment I entered the clean, well-kept office I had positive feelings about it. Holly greeted me with her warm smile and an energetic, yet relaxing positive attitude. Right away you could tell she had an enthusiastic passion for her profession and was here because she enjoyed it and not just because it was her job. Much to my surprise after entering the massage room instead of the usual 60 second check list about prior massages/medical history she actually talked in great detail about what I wanted to get out of the session and what kinds of things were causing me trouble and pain and needed to be worked on. Her responses were incredibly intelligent, while not talking over my head or making up facts to sound more impressive, and was able to anticipate a lot of the problems I've been having based solely on my responses to her questions. The massage went great. Her pressure was firm, while not being painful and even better she was always amazingly consistent with it. Every muscle seemed to receive the same amount of pressure. Instead of just rehearsing a series of practiced moves on my back for an hour I felt as if she had tailored the massage specifically to my needs and attacked problems head on instead of simply massaging around until the session timer beeped so she could punch out her time card and go home. It was easy to see after the first session that Holly was a rare find in any profession, but as a massage therapist she truly goes above and beyond to help people who need it. Amazingly, the usual "couple hours of feeling better" had turned into several days. I don't have any serious medical conditions to the point that I severely need the massage, but I do have horrible posture and I've played guitar in a band for years now and over that time the task of wearing a 10 pound Les Paul over my shoulder every day has caused me a lot of shoulder and back pain. I have now been receiving massage from Holly consistently for a little over a month or so and in that time my posture has improved tremendously. I'm able to stand up straighter and my shoulders don't hunch forward nearly as much. I never ever leave a session feeling like she left something behind to work on next time to keep me coming back in. My mother, who had somewhat recently broken her arm and has been having serious tissue damage in her arm and shoulder from the accident, has also been seeing Holly on a regular basis now. She also has nothing but great things to say about her experiences as well and has found major improvement in her arm's mobility since working with Holly. Another issue I've had with other places I've gone to in the past is that many of them almost seem like they're trying to book me for my next seven appointments the moment I walk through the front door for the first. I have never felt like Holly is trying to pull a salesperson-like pitch on me just to get me to come back next time. She is serious about being there to help and not just out to make an extra buck off someone or sell you something extra that you don't need. Whether you're a first timer or experienced massage goer, just needing to relax or in serious need of good therapeutic massage; I seriously cannot recommend Holly enough. Her knowledge, skill and experience as well as her calm, caring and therapeutic demeanor will leave you hooked after your first session.

Though there's nothing really wrong with me, I was told a massage once a month is good for your overall health so I decided to give it a shot. I had to call to schedule an appointment with the masseuse which was very easy to do. Her name was Ana Doriza and I learned that it's her private owned business. It's located in a spa/salon which at first was confusing, but her sign is right outside their window. As I was speaking to Ana and trying to figure out what massage I should be getting, I learned that she was a masseuse for a princess in the middle east! That got me really excited. I opted for the full body therapeutic massage at medium strength. Let me tell you, it had to be one of the best things I've ever experienced. It certainly felt amazing during the session, but I felt so at peace and relaxed after like I never have before after. Ana is so kind and it certainly was an experience that will get me to schedule again soon. I HIGHLY recommend Ana at Natural Touch. Don't wait and give her a call!
