I've been struggling to find someone near my since I moved to sunset, and found Mandy on yelp. I was able to book a last minute 90 min deep tissue appointment. We started off talking about what has been hurting me, problem areas, and what I usually do for pain relief. She was so intuitive to feel what was sensitive and needed extra or less pressure during the session. And she is very easy to talk to and explain the what's and why's of our body's pain. I'm pretty sore after, but that's because I have such tight muscles and they've been ignored for so long that they are sensitive. She even did some gua sha on me, which she was very careful to explain how it works and the potential redness it leaves temporarily. I've had gua sha before so I dont mind, but some people could be scared of it.

Parking is not the best but that's beside the point! You check in and they give you a form to check in with to mark the spots you would like to concentrate on. I basically circled my whole body! Gypso was absolutely fantastic and clearly very experienced. She worked through every spot with the perfect amount of pressure. You can tell she really knows what she's doing. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and so much better than when I walked in. I was also surprised how loose I was. Highly recommend Gypso and Siam Orchid to anyone looking for an excellent deep tissue massage. I'll definitely be back!

She even guided me to remember to deep breathe during the session, which helped me release so much built-up tightness. Cho is a miracle worker in a truly beautiful space. 10/10 recommendation!

I had never had Rolfing and was looking for someone experienced to help me work through significant…read morebody pain associated with long term stress. I am so glad I found Allie! I purchased a set of 10 appointments (at a discounted rate), and I am so glad I did. Rolfing would not have been effective for me as a one time appointment. I had a lot of residual pain and chronic inflammation that I needed consistent help with. At the start of the process, Allie was very thorough in reviewing my specific needs and what I was hoping to address. There's a lot of discomfort in the moment during Rolfing - I am not going to sugar coat it - it is intense. At the same time, I am so glad I stuck with it. Allie begins each session checking in and following up on the last treatment - she wants to know what works and what needs more focus and adjusts her plan accordingly. After each session I am more steady on my feet, more flexible and coordinated (which I have been missing) and less inflamed. And I am able to handle more pressure with less pain as the sessions progressed. I am on session 8 and I have seen a remarkable difference in my body and it is due to Allie and her thoughtful approach. She's great!!

Prior to this class, our massaging one another wasn't always the greatest experience--often due to just not knowing where/how to massage and also the giver getting tired quickly. The techniques Alexis demonstrated where easy to follow and receiving/giving with my partner in this way felt so good! It was empowering to learn simple tricks in just how to stand when giving a massage so that you don't tire so easily. Since the workshop, we both have found small moments to go back to the massage techniques when the other is needing some extra attention. It has been such a gift to have this new way of communicating and receiving love from one another. Thank you Alexis!

As active people we often have various aches and pains; it seemed like a double win to get massages and also learn how to better give them to each other. Another couple we are good friends with joined us. Alexis reached out ahead of the session to solicit our ideas for the time together and make sure we were fully prepared. When she arrived she immediately set a relaxed, joyful, loving mood. She taught us both a seated, neck/shoulder massage and a more immersive, laying down full back massage with oil. With our small group she provided regular 1:1 feedback, which was very helpful. She also kept it low stress and fun for all. Since the session we have continued to practice some of what we learned. The seated massage techniques are especially easy to incorporate into even a weeknight evening. It was freeing to learn a few easy moves that are consistently well-received. I would strongly recommend Alexis. She is a lovely, warm, talented instructor.

My back was spazzing up and I was impressed by the reviews and fast availability. My mistake. He…read moretalked and talked and talked, and frequently corrected me tartly for not having some part of my body in the proper place. For example, he told me to tense my bicep (I'm there for lower back which he has not yet addressed) so I "made a muscle". He said "I didn't ask you to tense your whole arm, just your bicep." Which was true so I tried again but it wasn't intuitive to flex one muscle without others, so I did it wrong again. He then grabbed my wrist and bent my arm and said "see?" Oh, not flexed like I thought. I didn't know. This went on and on -- basically he was showing me I involved too many muscles because I was tense but it was like trial and error with no focus on my back pain. Finally, 55 minutes in he gets to my problem area and ultimately had to go 5 minutes overtime (making a to-do about resetting some sort of timer) and telling me that other practitioners only do 50 minutes. Maybe so, I thought, but they probably also give you treatment on the problem area and not a game of really hard (for me) "Simon says" until 55 minutes have passed. Anyway, bad fit for me who had an acute issue and needed treatment fast.
