Danielle greeted me warmly at the door (#103) and immediately made me feel calm, welcome. She has a very respectful, compassionate and nurturing Air about her, making it perfect for this line of work. My first time experiencing craniosacral work, and she explained it perfectly, sharing the scientific words and explaining them to the layman (me) in such a seamless way, that I left feeling as if I've done it a thousand times! Go see her. For massage, for deeper understanding of yourself, not only in respect to physical understanding and well-being but also emotionally, spiritually.

I have been very impressed by the thorough notes they take before and after each session, which helps one pick up where the other left off, and also keeps track of my progress and goals. I'm glad they are conveniently located in my neighborhood, but I would gladly drive to see them; this level of service would definitely be worth the drive and parking (there is always street parking - usually right out front - and it's only $1.50/hr). I have seen many massage therapists over the years, and this is the best service I've received to date. I look forward to continuing my therapy with Helix!

I knocked out both SI joints, ruptured L5 and bulged out L4. I have lived in pain for 19years. Maureen Warren is the best hands on practitioner I have seen. I can not count the number of body workers I have been to over the years. No one compares to Mo. She is detailed, honest and aware of your needs. She is helping me. I leave in far less pain then when I arrived. I have established a trust with her that is a relief to finally have. If you are in pain, trust her. She will help you.

Sore back? Creaky joints? General sense of feeling adrift and scattered? Visit Caroline at Davoli…read moreMassage. Caroline is, by far, the best massage therapist to work on my battered body (I'm a full-time kickboxing instructor and a former bartender). I am a happy, regular client. I began visiting Caroline about 1.5 years ago. Through regular sessions with Caroline I learned how my body works and am able to take preventative measure to avoid chronic pain. Her skill in explaining anatomical issues and offering alternatives to common movements has allowed me to regain control of my body, fix my posture and start to work on improving my flat feet. Caroline works in a number of complementary disciplines, offering a full-range of massage therapy treatments (try the Ashiatsu Bar Massage, you will melt off the table). Her skill in identifying your body's issues and selecting the appropriate therapy is unmatched in my past experience with a half-dozen other massage therapists. Caroline has a complex understanding of mind/body health. She is incredibly intuitive, often identifying physical, mental or emotional issues before I've had time to process them. Her sessions are great for centering and grounding me. As a small-business owner, I operate on a high-volume of stress. My time at Davoli Massage allows me to unwind, reconnect with myself and refocus. The weekend following my appointment is always filled with peace and creativity. I can offer no higher recommendation.

I appreciate and am thankful for the support Caroline has provided during both IVF and pregnancy…read more She's done both Mayan Abdominal Massage with me and pregnancy massage. She has also given me great tips along the way for home care. I highly recommend her.

My husband found Janice and booked massages for us for our anniversary (we stayed in downtown…read moreSeattle for the occasion). We each had a 60 minute massage in her cozy little studio with the most beautiful rooftop view of the Sound. The massages were great (my introduction to cupping) and Janice is a lovely person. I get massage and other body work done regularly so I've experienced a wide variety of quality. I'm also not the easiest body to work on (very tight, problem spots). I would absolutely come back again. I can't comment about the value because I didn't pay the bill :-) Hubby said her prices were average, though. I'm not complaining about anything because I enjoyed myself and felt great afterward, but setting expectations so no one is disappointed. The massage studio is in a large professional building and shares hall space with other medical professionals. TrandZend is a single massage room, not a full spa experience. Because it's in a professional building, it's locked on weekends and Janice has to come down to let you in (didn't phase us since the sun was shining, but this could mean waiting outside for quite a while). Janice creates a warm, inviting experience, but take note if you're looking for something different. I debated between 4 and 5 stars because it isn't a full spa, etc. but I figure it's the quality of the massage that matters and that was definitely a 5 star experience.

I've been seeing her for over two years now following a car accident and I can't say enough great things about her skills as a massage therapist. She has been an integral part of my healing process and I wouldn't see anyone else after having been to see her. There are knots I never thought would go away and she got them out! Not only is Megan understanding and dedicated, but she truly cares about her clients' healing process and frankly just wants them to feel awesome!

Danielle is great. I've been getting massages from her regularly for a couple years now…read more I initially sought her out because she specializes in therapeutic massage. Through a few sessions, she was able to help relieve the tightness and soreness in my lower back and shoulders that had accumulated through years of weightlifting. Danielle's general deep tissue massages are top-notch as well, and she's a great conversationalist. I keep coming back because her deep tissue massages are so relaxing, and she's fun to talk to. If you're in the Ballard area and you're looking for a good massage, and you want to support a small business, I would highly recommend Smiling Owl Massage.

The massage I initially received was great, but after Danielle…read morecancelled an early AM appointment with less than 2 hours notice via email, things became really messy. I work with families and children intimately and I understand cancellations happen, and people become sick, but to cancel an AM appointment with under two hours notice without a call was not a great way to handle the situation. I was already getting ready and on my way to the appointment. Upon arriving I sat there thinking she was possibly late, then I called the number on the door because I figured that was the best option to figure out if the appointment still stood or not which. Then after back and forth email with Danielle she was upset that I had called the number on the door because it was for someone else. How was a client to know that? I waited for 40 minutes and left. When I arrived home I had seen on my desktop the reason I didn't get her email was because It was sent from her personal email instead of her business email which was the one email we had ever used prior. We sent some Emails back and fourth and because I had expressed how inconvenient it was for me she decided she didn't want to see me for my other appointment or reschedule. I had told her many times I understand these things happen and hope she will feel better and was kind, I just wanted her to know that a call for a two hour or less cancellation would be more ideal since clients are likely to be up and already getting ready to leave their homes. She then basically replies she doesn't want to see me as a client anymore while also being smart saying "in the age of smartphones" her email with 1.5 hours notice was appropriate. Especially when people are likely already on their way. Since I had bought 2 massages via Groupon I had asked if she would then work with me to help get a refund, she agreed and even wrote me an email saying she contacted them, and they would be reaching out to me within the day via phone. (Side note she also said she didn't want to see me because she only makes 17 dollars from her groupons, which i though was wildly inappropriate to tell a client.) When I didn't hear anything from them and emailed her back stating all I saw was that my account was flagged and had not received a call, her reply was so rude calling me challenged and whiny. I really don't know how someone would work in this industry and be so rude and able to personally jab at clients but I was completely taken aback by her unprofessionalism through-and-through. I would not recommend her place of business, as when things come up she cannot handle them appropriately, timely, or professionally and will attack you for it.
