I used to get a lot of massages but haven't due to Covid. The backyard massage was amazing. Hope to do it again soon!! Thanks Isabella!!

She listens to the body as well as the client and has no problem adjusting the session to meet the needs of the client. She knows just how much to communicate and when to enjoy silence.

If you have other ideas then this is not the lady for you. Way too classy. So don't bother.

Based on the description of the service, I was expecting it to be more foot reflexology focused with some overall back/body massage at the end, but it was pretty much the complete opposite. Not 'bad' per se, just not what I was expecting. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

She was able to release all the tension and pain that was there. I was completely relaxed and much more flexible after she was done. Most people choose to have massages just to relax. I needed and received a massage that was good for my health because of her ability to get my blood flowing. Particularly in my legs and feet that are generally very cold. I had one of the best massages of my life. It is very clear that Kathryn is very well trained, extremely professional, highly competent and an honest and fair and fun person. My massage was 90 minutes long and well worth what I paid. Run don't walk for an appointment! You will be thrilled with the results!

Most people think of massage as an indulgence, something you do when you want to spoil yourself…read more With Tara, massage is a part of your health. She does not just go through a standard massage routine like if you went and paid $60 at a spa, she customizes each massage to your needs and health. I have had back problems for years from a bad snowboarding accident that left me with a stress fracture in my L4 vertebrae. As part of my recovery, I started seeing Tara. She focused on not just the muscles in my back that were hurt, but the muscles and alignment surrounding the injury. She pays close attention to the body as a whole and how it works together to heal itself. Because of that- I recommend Tara whether you are just looking to relax and lose some tension, or you have an injury that needs some work. With Tara, you are buying much more than a standard, "run of the mill" massage.

I've been getting massages from Tara for the past year and can't say enough great things about her…read more First off, she makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease so you can relax and enjoy the muscle work.

During our sessions, she works hard on my tight knots and knows exactly my problem areas to focus on. Being a person who had pretty severe lower back pain from school/work, she nursed me back to health and gave me tips on how to stretch and work on my back at home. I ended up getting a foam roller too, and she gave me great tips to stretch on it. Making appointments: Just go online and check her calendar to find a time that works best with your schedule. You enter your email address and your number, and her system will automatically send you email reminders. Facilities: 3rd floor of an office building - there's a little water river/stream in the middle of the building, behind it there's an elevator. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor and make a right. Her room (suite 321) is right next to a CPA office. During your massage, she'll play soothing music and recommend various lotions for aromatherapy. I particularly like chamomile and mint scented ones, it makes it particularly relaxing. Massage: THE BEST, EVER. Period. I've seen a great deal of masseuses in my lifetime. I used to be part of Massage Envy and I would cycle between different people each time I went to the point where I had a track record for never having a set person. That all changed when I met Joy, she's the only person I trust for a massage. I deeply miss her now that I'm in Seattle, I don't know where I can find as good as a massage ever again. I do frequently come back to San Diego to visit, and whenever I do, I always book an appointment with her again! Overall: LOVE HER, she's the best, hands down.

The only minor issue I had was that I was able to hear people in the hallway since it's a shared business location.

I've been to J Emanuel Hodge several times over the last few months based on my friends experience with him. His massages are a joint effort focused on improving my well-being and life. He took time to review my overhaul health and any personal concerns before starting. Massages focus in on tight or painful areas - release is brought through pressure and breathing. Circulation, energy and happiness levels improve with each massage. I have noticed the effects last longer and longer with each visit. Health, breathing, pain reduction - all since I started working with J. Also of note is the comfort and general ease created by the environment. J provides exercises or simply posture corrections I can use between visits to keep me on this positive track. read more

I typically don't write reviews, but my experience with Gale (the spa owner partnered with Body and…read moreHealthcare & Spa) was so dangerous that I feel obligated to warn others. During my visit, Gale performed a Japanese Reiki session so recklessly that it caused actual injury. What was meant to be a gentle, healing energy practice turned into a painful and upsetting experience that left me physically hurt. I went in for relaxation and left injured. It was clear during the session that Gale lacked the basic competence to be performing this kind of bodywork. As if that weren't enough, Gale's daughter Chloe--who also appears to work at or around the spa--engaged in deeply unprofessional conduct with my husband. She made inappropriate comments such as "I want white babies" and created an extremely uncomfortable environment for him through her coercive and boundary-crossing behavior. No client should have to navigate unwanted advances or pressure while trying to relax and receive services. To make matters worse, the overall environment felt completely unprofessional. A spa should be a place of trust and safety; this was the opposite. Body and Healthcare & Spa should be ashamed to associate their brand with people who run such an unsafe and inappropriate operation. Do not trust these individuals with your safety. Go somewhere that actually respects client well-being and knows how to maintain basic professional boundaries.

And that's not easy. I'm 6'2"/215 lbs. Aside from writing about how her massage heavily benefited me, I would like to say the experience was an x-factor in terms of how good the "experience" is by going to a massage therapist. Now, she has a large room, upstairs from a hair salon, and what was impressive on her end was the fact that she had a very quiet room that had music, and wonderful scents that helped you relax not only your body, but also your mind in the process. And the temperature of the room is just perfect! Easily, one of the best massage therapists and massage experiences I've been to and had in my life, and I would recommend anyone and everyone to Danielli. Thanks again!
