Her understanding of the human body is incredible and hearing her explain how and why I have certain achey spots on my body was insightful.

I had a wonderful experience at Sanctuary and can't recommend it enough…read more I received a massage from one of Kristin's students, and I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and skill. The pressure was just right, and she intuitively found areas of tension I didn't even realize I was holding. I felt a noticeable difference not only immediately after, but in the days that followed. It's clear that Kristin has created a space where therapists are thoughtfully trained and supported; there's a high level of professionalism and presence that really comes through. The space itself is peaceful and calming. I'll admit I was briefly confused when I arrived since it's located on the second floor, but once inside, everything felt welcoming, organized, and serene. They were ready for me right on time, and the whole experience felt smooth and intentional from start to finish. If you're looking for a place where you'll be genuinely cared for and in good hands, Sanctuary is absolutely worth a visit.

First off... I feel so torn writing this review... because Amber is absolutely the BEST and I want…read moreto keep that a secret but she deserves it -- Amber is our absolute FAV massage therapist because she's holistic, incredibly intuitive, and just an all around incredible human being. We chose her initially for my wife's pregnancy to entrust someone to give her prenatal massage and Amber was the absolute best. You really want someone who knows what they're doing because of how sensitive the body is and Amber is a mom herself and knows how it feels. For me, I like deep tissue and Amber is SO GOOD at it and doesn't hurt the muscles, some deep tissue is totally off base and they go into areas and damage more than they help but Amber is right on the money. She's a healer, an extraordinary person, and we're SO excited for her new spot, we used to have her come by all the time when she had a mobile setup but now looking forward to going into her new sanctuary!!

I like how she knows a variety of techniques as well as energy work. Not many people around do cranial sacral balancing. Her touch is gentle yet profound at the same time. I feel like every time I'm getting a session. It feels like a warm hug from my best friend. I have been seeing her for a few years now and was pleasantly surprised this last week when I stepped into her New Spa oasis in downtown Walnut Creek. I always joke with her that she can be an interior designer. Because everything is top-notch. Don't think just because she does Swedish and lymphatic drainage that her deep tissue is weak. Her deep tissue knocks my knots right out. If you're looking for a high-quality Massage, this is the place you need to book. One of the best parts about her new location is that it includes free parking.

My ankles haven't been this sleek in almost a year! Nancy is a great fit for me as a therapist because she is warm yet honest and she is so intuitive with her movements. She mixed pressures and while she checked in with me throughout just knew where to go and what I needed even though it was my first session with her. I am surprised how deep of work was done because the entire session was very enjoyable / no pain. My favorite part was the face and head lymphatic massage, so Relaxing! On my way out I was served an organic tea to go which was such a nice touch. The studio is lovely, clean and has a lux feel to it. I will be a regular going forward, Thank you, Nancy!

Carlos has worked on my entire body, head to toe and I am making progress on reducing hip, lower back and shoulder pain.

His intuition and knowledge of the body, somatics, energy, and how fascia and muscles are interconnected is unparalleled! He fixed up my persistent neck and back pain by working on my ankle and legs. I didn't realize an ankle and knee injury I had was throwing off the rest of my body alignment. I didn't even need to tell him where I was feeling pain and he directly went to each spot with precision. When I walked out of the clinic after a 2-hour session (I asked for more time), I felt instant relief everywhere. 100% recommend!
