I've had way too many massages over the years to remember them all. However, I always remember the…read moregood ones. Holly gave one of, or, the best massage I've ever gotten in the Bay Area. She really knows her stuff. She also puts in the extra time to make sure she knows what's going on physically with her clients...an unusual but very welcome extra bonus Holly is highly recommended.

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.

If you are in pain and desperate for help - go there! Rachel did miracles for me twice. Once I had…read morepretty bad pain in both of my arms, and second time my regular problem with low back pain which got worse. I needed to get back to myself ASAP before long international flight.

In addition, Rachel is just a wonderful person, always smiling and positive. Thank you, Rachel, and highly recommend!

I was referred to Galaxy Acupuncture because of my lower back pain and chronic headache which could…read morebecome severe at times. In my first treatment, Rachel began by asking detailed questions about my well-being to understand the cause of it and other underlying issues. After a few treatments, I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being. The headache I was experiencing due to neck tension have become much less frequent, and I am sleeping better!!! I am amazed with the results of my treatments. Rachel is a caring and courteous professional with quite an in-depth knowledge of alternative medicine. She combines acupuncture and massage therapy in her treatments. I couldn't be happier. And to top it off, the clinic is very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

I was recommended to T by a physical therapist I was seeing for rotator cuff surgery, which I…read morethought was pretty impressive. I've worked with T on my rotator cuff, and then after when I needed labrum and tenodesis surgeries. My surgeon gives credit to the work I did and also to T. She is extremely intuitive - she can touch my body and tell immediately where I am tight or need work. Her wrok is amazing, and I feel incredible when she is done. There is a spirituality to her work which leaves me with a centered and calm as well. I highly recommend T to anyone who is in pain or discomfort.

From what I could tell, this isn't the relax and unwind kind of massage. This is work and can be painful at first, but after the massage, Jocelyn leaves you in better shape. Thank you, Jocelyn!

I've experienced massages from a wide range of therapists around the world and can say that Amelia…read moreprovides the best treatment I've ever encountered. She has deep knowledge of how to effectively treat stress, tension, tightness, and pain. Amelia applies a wide array of therapeutic methods, pinpoints exactly which areas of the body need work, and provides lasting pain relief. She is very warm, giving, and holistic in her approach to healing. After severely injuring my back last year I was unable to walk and tried multiple modalities including pain medications, anti-inflammatories, spinal injections, analgesic balms, and tens machine treatments. Amelia's caring treatment was the breakthrough treatment that finally broke the cycle of pain, allowing me to walk again and fully recover. I highly recommend Amelia to anyone seeking massage therapy.

If I could give Amelia six stars, I would; her massages are magic. I first discovered her at…read moreWatercourse Way and after the first one, I asked for her every time. When she left to start her own business, I followed her. I've been her client for almost 10 years. Why? I had several old injuries from horseback riding and car accidents in my youth. She told me I had old injuries--and where they were; she could actually feel it from the way my body held tension. It took a series of massages to fix, but even after that first one there was an amazing release that made me realize how out of whack my body was. I travel and have had massages around the world. Amelia is the best. She can do the usual "Swedish massage" with heated stones and it feels great, but her forte is her deep tissue therapeutic massages. Without her, I'd be crippled. She can do a lot in one hour, but if your body is really messed up like mine was, to get the same benefit I'd recommend her 90 minute or 2 hour massages. She goes deep and gets to the heart of the problem to fix you, not just make you feel good for an hour.
