loved my massage, I got a 90 minute shiatsu and it was heavenly. They really got into my knots and I can' wait to book again! Also was able to fit me in the day of so thank you read more

I got a 60-min massage, and it was on point! My massage therapist, Susan, did an amazing job with getting all the knots out of my back and shoulders. Thank you, Susan! This spot is super duper clean, an OCD person's dream! The gal at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming. I ending up reaching out to them via yelp at 4pm and got an appointment to go in at 6pm that same day. Prices are reasonable ($85 for 1 hour, not including tip). Will definitely be back! Highly recommended! read more

I got the 60-minute massage today, and it was fantastic! I had a large muscle knot in my back, and the massage therapist did an amazing job working it out. She really focused on the area and was able to release a lot of the tension. Right now, my back feels much looser and more relaxed. We'll see how it feels tomorrow, but so far I'm very impressed! The facility is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. The staff were all very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I was also pleasantly surprised that I was able to get in right away without an appointment. The hot stones were a great touch and made the experience even more relaxing. Next time, I'll definitely book the 75-minute massage because I was just getting completely comfortable when the 60 minutes flew by! I only wish I had gotten the name of the therapist who worked on me because I would absolutely request her again. Thank you for the great experience--I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! read more

We booked a couples massage in advance. Staff was friendly during our visit on a Saturday evening. The couples room had simple decor, with a vase of lovely flowers and even a sofa inside the space. It was slightly stuffy in there, but it wasn't problematic for me. And gentle music played in the background during our session. My masseuse definitely found and treated my knots and applied effective technique to help loosen up the tension in my muscles. And the pressure was STRONG, borderline painful, but I like that I got what I requested and paid for, the deepest deep tissue massage I've ever gotten. The best shin massage I ever had too, even if that part was brief. If you're looking for a true deep tissue treatment, this place delivers! read more

They used to be good real good and healers in the old building before they move to baker street They charge more I understand place look fancy but massage not good they good as it's not a full body massage they waste so much on back but not your legs and arm like they full body massage .. So I hope they improve and making sure all the masseur knows what they are doing . If it's a healing massage than they should be able heal pain n ache . Not wasting so much time and charging more for fancy place . Same time they aspect tips to be given more than they deserve they should be thankful whatever tips they get there should not be demand no one like that just to be appreciative .

No expectations on tips seriously As I have recommend a few and they said the same thing like god they demanding for tips not going back Thank you By anonymous read more

I was looking through Yelp for a local massage place that did deep tissue massage because I was having sciatica issues and muscle tightness in my neck and shoulder area. I also scheduled directly through Yelp which made it convenient. Check in was quick, pay up front for your service, and slight discount for paying with cash. Onto to massage... my massages therapist, was professional, asking me what my issues were and what I wanted to focus on. Also checking in briefly, throughout the service, as to the pressure. A little warning, I'm use to deep tissue massage so there is some pain expected but parts around my sciatica were quite painful. She definitely got in there and worked the muscles, did some acupressure and used hot stones. A few times I had to really breathe through it. (she did check in at each of these times and I reassured her I was ok. I know there are kinks that need to be worked through) That being said, my sciatica was 90% better after leaving and gone the next day. So if you are looking for a "healing massage" I would recommend this place. No frills but good massage. The room was small but neat and clean. Bed and linens were comfortable. They also have a parking lot for convenience. I'll be coming back. read more

Been going here for years and so happy they have a new location off Baker Road! The quality of the massages are amazing each time. Each lady is talented, consistent and so strong - I don't even have to worry about who I get for my session. Seriously the firmest massages I've ever had have come from healing massage. I appreciate that the prices are so reasonable, the space is welcoming and clean, and the service is always so warm. It's the only place I go, and I always leave feeling so healed! Make sure to call or text to make your appointment! read more

Been coming to these ladies over 10 years. CONSISTENTLY great massages between any of the masseuses, great value for their pricing and I love their new location, they grew out of their old space with their clientele YEARS ago. Can't wait to try the new services they're adding! I'll check back then! read more

Great value for the price, calm and relaxing atmosphere, kind and thorough masseuses!

Visiting their new location. So much nicer and bigger. Had Lilly. Highly recommend her for deep tissue. She worked on me, literally from head to toe. I have really bad shoulder and neck issues and she was determined to work those knots out! It was an amazing experience! read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. My husband just went in to this establishment to purchase a gift card for my birthday. He asked about the services and the human at the front desk was disgustingly rude and condescending. I have supported this business for years and after his experience today June 3, 2026, I will never support businesses like this. She clearly did not want his business so we will take ours and all of those who I referred elsewhere. read more

I called today to see if they were open, and they were! I got a 60 minute massage for $75 + $20 tip. Lily got ALL my knots out. I came in with my neck and shoulders hurting. She even used hot stones. Definitely coming back! read more

My husband recently received a massage here and said the massage itself was very good. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined at the end when a staff member stopped him before he left and told him his tip was too low. When he asked what an appropriate tip would be, he was told that he should leave more than $20, and even more if he thought the massage was good. He felt pressured and uncomfortable, as if he was being guilted into increasing the tip amount. An $85 one-hour massage plus a $35 tip is excessive, and no customer should be made to feel obligated or pressured to pay a specific tip amount. Tips are supposed to be voluntary and based on the customer's discretion and satisfaction, not demanded or suggested by staff. I've never experienced this at any other business or service establishment. Regardless of how good the service is, pressuring customers about tips is highly unprofessional and leaves a very negative impression. read more

The masseuses were amazing, I can't express that enough. The atmosphere was calming and therapeutic. I definitely recommend this place, the couples massage was such a nice experience. Definitely returning soon! read more

I've been coming here for years!!! Honestly don't know why I haven't written a review!! As an ex massage therapist myself I'm very picky and know exactly what I want when it comes to pressure and proper massage. Mei is AMAZING!!! I love deep tissue and she knows exactly what to do!! Best massage I have ever had!! Spoiled and can't go anywhere else. I also like Lily a lot too!!!! read more

Their new location at 20812 Baker Rd. Is beautiful. It is right around the corner from their old location. There is another massage business at their old location on Castro Valley Blvd. This is a completely different business. Not nearly as professional. Be careful not to confuse the two. read more

I booked a 10 AM appointment for my sister and me, but when we arrived, they weren't ready for us. After waiting about 10 minutes, we were taken to a very outdated, dingy room that felt like it was at least 90 degrees. We were left there for another 20 minutes with no updates, which was frustrating. The room also had a strange odor, no calming music, (no music at all) and no aromatherapy--things I usually expect to help set a relaxing vibe. When the two massage therapists finally came in, they were polite and apologized for the wait, which I appreciated. They asked about our preferred massage style, and at first, it was going okay--not the best massage, but decent. However, about 10 minutes in, they seemed to get hot and opened the door without asking, which felt a little intrusive. They also kept leaving and coming back without explaining why, and at one point, it was just to grab the hot stones. It would have been nice to at least know what was happening instead of lying there feeling exposed and vulnerable. Another thing that stood out was that you pay ands top upfront for a service that felt pretty mediocre, and yet they don't even offer tea or water the whole time. I know we were their first appointment , but small touches like that go a long way in making a place feel welcoming. Overall, I won't be returning. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because the staff was polite and acknowledged our long wait, but the experience itself was disappointing read more

Their new location is really nice, modern, and clean. Parking is easy and the location is much quieter than before. Massage is still very strong and therapeutic. Booking an appointment is easy. Just call or text the number. The way payment works here is a standard house service fee (which varies based on length of session) and a mandatory tip (which is basically a therapist fee) paid to the therapist. Usually $20-$30 is standard for a 1 hour session depending on quality. (It's not a typical percent based tip. I recommend carrying some $20s and $5s in bills.) Oh yeah. They have a head spa station (where they blast your hair with water) and a RL machine for full body red light therapy. But they haven't officially started offering those services yet. But will save me a trip to Fremont. read more

Just go! Can't wait until I'm back in town to go again! Friendly staff, beautiful facility, great massage!

Great energy and vibe. Wendy gave me a 90 minute massage, amazing!!! 10/10. I will be back. Very convenient hours that helps people with a busy schedule. read more

Has been my go to for almost a decade. Mae Ling Lily & their team are the greatest. The name matches the outcome. Environment is welcoming, service is excellent. Can't say enough, may God Bless this business abundantly & fruitfully. pray this business is always around for decades to come. read more

My fiancé and I booked a couples massage and unfortunately I left very disappointed with the experience. I've visited this location a few times before and previously had a great massage, but unfortunately I couldn't remember the therapist's name that I liked. This visit started off poorly when about five minutes into my massage, my therapist was suddenly called outside. She was gone for several minutes, and I could hear conversation happening outside the room. It sounded like a man had arrived and she ended up leaving to service him instead. Shortly after, another therapist came in and apologized, saying they needed to switch therapists. The replacement therapist unfortunately was not a good fit for me. I requested medium pressure, but most of the massage felt like light rubbing with her forearm and very little actual pressure. I had to repeatedly ask for more pressure and for attention to certain problem areas, but it felt like she avoided doing real work on those spots and instead just rubbed around them. What frustrated me the most was that despite losing time due to the therapist switch, our massages still ended at the same time as scheduled. I expected that the time lost would be made up, but it was not. We still tipped both therapists because we try to be respectful, but there was no one available to speak with about our experience. My therapist spoke very limited English, and when my fiancé tried to mention that we should have received the lost time back, she simply responded "huh." It's disappointing to spend money on a service meant for relaxation and leave feeling frustrated and unhappy instead. I've had better experiences here before, which makes this one especially unfortunate. read more

The new location looks great! I started coming early last year due to a back injury and they did a great job in supplementing the work I was doing with my physical therapist. My back is better now but I still come regularly since the massages are great, fairly priced, and the masseuses are really friendly. Bella and Carmen are top notch and are my go to, but Lucy is also good. read more

I love coming here. I ask for Lilly, she's great at deep tissue and is always so friendly. The quiet atmosphere truly allows one to relax. The new location is a renovated building and everything is clean and tidy. So happy they moved closer to my house! read more

Quality place to get a massage that's nearby! Relaxing atmosphere upon arrival, they take care of you & don't cheat you on your time. Came here after running a half marathon & I was healed! read more

The service is good here, I've been here three and felt good all three times I've left. If you're looking for a deep tissue massage the ladies here are really good. I suggest asking for recommendation. They offer hot rocks, and a stretch with every massage ice received. read more

Beautifully appointed space. Clean and welcoming. Two friends and I had a reservation and were greeted warmly. We all agreed that the massages were excellent! What surprised us was that, at the end of the session, all three masseuse came out to the front desk to tell us individually that we hadn't left a large enough tip! Didn't matter that we all tipped reasonably (one at 10%, one at 15% and one at 20%). Is this a new trend with massage therapists? I read in another review about a place in Dublin that did the same thing. Honestly, it felt like a shake down! read more

​I really want to love this place because it's local, affordable, and spotless. My first session was one of the best massages I've had, but my second visit was disappointing. Since the experiences have been hit-or-miss, I'm still contemplating a return. I'll keep my rating at 3 stars for now and will update it based on my next experience (if there is one). read more

Probably a 4.5 rounded up. If you're looking for a good, deep tissue massage without the frills, Healing Massage is your spot. I wanted to try a new place for a couples massage and after some searching on Yelp, I landed at Healing Massage. I called the day of to see if they had any availability for couples massages and they were very accomodating. I easily scheduled a slot for that evening. Upon arrival at the shop, there's tons of parking in the plaza. It's pretty central to Castro Valley so even if you get there a bit early like we did, you can walk around. We ended up going in early as well and they were able to help us still. The massage parlor is not fancy so don't expect a real aesthetic spa or anything. But if all you need is a good massage, they've got you covered. They do a deep tissue massage and can adjust to a pressure you're comfortable with. They also bring out hot stones as part of the massage. For 60 minutes, it was $75 and they recommend a $20 tip per hour. Not too bad for a solid massage! read more

I always do the 90 minute full body with hot stones! Truly Awesome!! May is the Best!! Always a treat to come here and melt in May's good hands!! read more

Great price for a relaxing deep tissue. Ladies are very strong and will work hard on your muscles.

Fair price and a good massage. This place is clean, quiet, lots of parking, and friendly. Massage included hot stones and was a full 60 minutes. I will use again. read more

5 stars for Carmen! 1 hour medium hot stone massage wasn't long enough! I have to do 90 minutes next time! Thank you so much! If you don't care about aesthetics and just want a quality massage, this is your spot! read more
