Abi is absolutely AMAZING. I had a gift certifcate for an in-home massage. I have never had one…read morebefore and was a bit nervous about the whole thing. I had no idea what or WHO to expect! So Abi showed up at my door with her massage table in hand. She was down to earth and made me feel immediately comfortable and at ease. She was very professional, set everything up, asked if I had any music I wanted to play...which felt a bit odd, but I assumed that as part of the experience. She left the room, giving me privacy to get on the massage table. And the massage started.... I am pretty critical when it comes to massage. I prefer deep tissue. It hurts so good! Swedish is annoying to me- unless in combination with deep tissue. Abi's massage surpassed my expectations! She found all the kinks and kneaded them out- aahhhhhhhh just thinking about it feels good. Pressure was perfect. Technique was an A+. I was feeling the glow for days after! The BEST part (besides the actual massage) was that afterwards I just kicked back and melted into the couch to relax the night away. No rush afterwards, no having to tense up by getting in a car and driving. Now I'm trying to figure out how to finance in-home massage on a regular basis...I might need to get another job...Abi is SO worth it! The whole process is such a TREAT. No rushing around to be on time. No traffic. No frantic prayers to the parking fairy. No waiting. A slew of bonuses on top of the fact that Abi gives phenomanal massages! My only hope is that her schedule doesn't get too full as other people start discovering her....this is my constant love-hate relationship with yelping.

I've been getting massages of all sorts for several decades (I'm 57) and Abi is right near the top…read more I get all kinds of massages, including Shiatsu (at Kabuki in SF) but my in-house massages will be by Abi, period! It was very clear early on in the massage that she could 'feel' my body, understand my aches and pains and made my body feel oh so good. Like most people I'm certain, massages never last long enough but somehow I felt like I got a complete massage and there was nothing lacking in the outcome, I was refreshed and relaxed. She's worth the time and the cost, which happens to be rather modest considering the comfort of staying at home :)

This woman is my personal goddess. Sorry, you can't have her massages, they're all mine!…read more I have been receiving massage treatment for the last five or so years from Rebecca for problems such as back and neck pain associated with scoliosis, and wrist, arm and shoulder pain from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I'm a basket of fun! I have received massages from other folks when she was out of town for school or vacation- and terribly regretted it. Rebecca has an amazing 6th sense (although it is highly suggested you tell your massage therapist what needs work- they're not telepaths!) in finding the spots that will make you a PG-rated puddle of a human. I can't count how many times I've fallen asleep on her table and everyone who knows me, know's I'm a big stress ball running around at 150 miles per hour trying to squeeze in as much as I can in a day knows I have a hard time relaxing. She somehow has the power to melt the bands of steel under my shoulders, the knots under my skin and make me want to take her with us on vacations! Other people have wrestled me and nearly made me cry from pain, or just annoyed the crap out of me with their incessant and useless kneading. Not this woman- she will ASK YOU- yes, she does what YOU need- if the pressure is ok or not, and not what the was "taught' to do, like you're some generic person that has the same needs as the last person. I'm trying to make plans to see her for accupuncture too- it's the medicine of my peeps and honestly, I can always use more help relieving pain. If you're ever in need of some relaxation, accupuncture treatments (it's it helps everything from allergies to pain to digestion problems) or even treating yourself to a massage at the beginning of the week since weekends can sometimes be harsh- Rebecca is the person to go to. Oh, and she's a super cool person too.

We talked to a…read morelot of masseuses before meeting her, and I have to say she's the most talented, organized, and professional of all the people we spoke with and tried out. Her prices are reasonable, too. She does chair, table, and mat massage and uses some Chinese medicine and Thai massage techniques. I look forward to her visit every week and I'm so glad we found her!

She teaches thai technique,trains in qi gong and is currently getting her license in acupuncture - her practice is a lifestyle not just a profession. She knows exactly where you need the most work (usually my shoulders) and shows you what you can do at home to relieve muscle pain. Kathy proved a miracle worker when I was training for last year's marathon and a great way to relieve all that wedding stress.

Her deep tissue work is poetic perfectionism! (never too much or too little), she's calm, soothing, and gives great care to the experience and environment (using healthy lotions, aromas, and peaceful music).

Update: Carlita commented on this review a few days ago, saying she's sending a refund that day…read more Just so you know, I haven't received ANYTHING from her so far. Also, I had ONE same day cancellation for a Groupon session on 2/24/2017 due to extended work hours, not VARIOUS same day cancellations as she mentioned. I did not even get to use all my Groupon sessions. The $150 refund I was requesting was for a separate package I purchased. Carlita, I too enjoyed our conversations, but I do not appreciate dishonesty! Carlita seems to be a nice person but is disappointingly dishonest! I originally bought a Groupon from her and liked her service, so I purchased the special deal she was offering at the time. I paid her through PayPal, but then I was never able to FIND her to use my appointments. She gave different excuses and then finally agreed to issue me a refund of $150. She not only didn't issue any refunds, but also stopped replying altogether. It is shocking to me to see that someone who seems to be kind and caring in person will actually take advantage of customers like this! It's been almost a year, and I have never received service or refunds! Please be ware!! Also my last appointment with Carlita left my entire face burning in pain and I had red patches all over that lasted for hours. The things she put on my face caused major irritation, and my skin peeled terribly I truly wish I had never gone to Skincare by Carlita!

In fact you can go through the parking lot and out the side/back and see the gym from that angle much better. I walked in and you have to walk through a gym area with no representatives to even get to the front desk. At the front desk there were 3-4 guys all in the middle of conversation and so being acknowledged took a bit longer than it should have. I felt like more of a burden then a welcomed new potential longtime client. I was instructed to fill out their waiver form, which is what I arrived early for with a pen ready. No pen required it's all electronic and they are set up pretty high so if you were on the shorter side you might have some problems. They do NOT have paper versions of this waiver. Also once you submit you do not get a copy of the waiver, even if you ask for one. I think that's pretty crappy in this day and age why would you not offer a copy of a legal document to the person completing it if they asked??? I was here from a GroupOn for a massage with Sonja. She greeted me while I was in the midst of my frustration with their waiver process... she stayed pleasant though! After all the paperwork was completed I properly introduced myself to Sonja and followed her to the massage room. It's private and locked.. has its own bathroom which is nice and clean. The table is a standard massage table - not electric - so it doesn't raise and lower for the comfort of the massage therapist or the client. There's music played through Sonja's iphone and it helps drown out some of the gym noise... but apparently there is a workout area directly above the massage room and they get pretty loud. Sonja is a wonderful massage therapist. Took the time to really ask questions and answer all given questions. She's very very welcoming and great at deep tissue massage! I would give Sonja a 4/5 but the experience in it's entirety and location and such drops this down to a 2/5. Unfortunately due to my experiences with the front desk, lack of legal documentation upon request, and the noise level.. I will not be returning. I wonder if Sonja has a private practice on the side and more reasonable pricing going through her directly!?!

But if you're like me and need help breaking up scar tissues, releasing knots, or regaining range of motion in a certain area, it's amazing. It hurts so good.
