I was already familiar with the Berkeley Acupuncture Project and their amazing work and was pleased…read moreto find Tom Pettengill through them after a year and a half of upper back pain and migraines that were not improved with chiropractic and acupuncture alone. I've now seen Tom seven times after experiencing relief from my first visit. Before visiting Tom I wondered if this was a chronic issue I would be facing for the rest of my life. Now I believe I am healing and this is a temporary pain in the neck. I appreciate his no pressure approach to follow-up visits and immediately knew he was working with me to help me heal not to sell me a package. Tom was quick to respond to my initial phone call, took the time to speak with me over the phone about my issues, and sent me a questionnaire so we could get all of the background information out of the way prior to our first visit. I found scheduling with Tom to be simple and easy. He gives his all to each visit. For more specifics, Tom says it best on his own site and it matches my experience so I'll echo that for you here: "I practice a therapeutic style massage that evaluates pain and dysfunction of soft tissue in the body. This method can help restore fluid movement while reducing pain. An important part of my work is your involvement.  The more you can be aware and tuned into your body during each session we have, the better your results will be!  I can help you to relax but then you have to help yourself to release.  During all our sessions, you will be fully clothed. For your best results, it is important that you stay aware of your body during our session and, afterward, be actively involved in your own healing process. After all, you are your best healer!" What happens during a therapeutic massage session: You will be wearing your clothes - so you can feel relaxed and comfortable as Tom works through your clothing. Tom does therapeutic massage that helps to correct physical imbalances, relieve pain, and realign muscles so they perform better. This is all done thru a muscular re-education technique that is fascinatingly effective! He educates you about your own body regarding correct posture and movement suggestions, looks at anatomy books for visual learning with you because he believes that your education about your own body is the best way for you to get better and for you to heal yourself in the long term.

I cannot say enough good things about the care I've received from Goldie at Golden Chiropractic!…read more Her depth of knowledge, combined with her wide range of tools and techniques, allows her to address so many different needs. She is incredibly warm, gentle, thoughtful, and thorough in both her treatments and her advice. I always feel listened to and confident that I'm in excellent hands.

I've seen many massage therapists, acupuncturists, physical therapists etc. so I believe I'm qualified to say Christina is truly gifted and an excellent provider in myofascial massage (this is the style I experienced). Christina put me at ease immediately. Her skills and knowledge is tremendous. She knows when to stop or move ahead; this is not an easy skill to master, it comes from being attuned to the client and trusting ones experience. After only two sessions I was able to walk without nearly as much pain. I felt relaxed and well cared for. The fact she has an amazing personality is a bonus! I trust Christina to make the right assessment on the type of massage and time I may need to be "whole" again. I am very pleased with my progress and happy I found her.

LILY!!! Can one love someone after one visit? Well I would argue yes…read more I sought out Lily because I had been experiencing sharp pain in my upper back, under one of my shoulder blades. It had gotten worse over the weeks, and the muscle spasm spread to where I had difficulty moving my head and turning my body. I tried stretching and massaging it myself. I tried tools and massage devices. I asked friends for help. I tried ice and heat. I tried medicine and rest. Nothing worked. The pain got worse and my movement got increasingly restricted. (Hear the violin playing yet?! Lol) I am on a tight budget so I was trying to hold out, but finally I chose to prioritize health and wellness, so I researched several physical therapists and massage therapists, and Lily stood out to me. And holy guacamole, Lily did such an excellent job in our 1 hour session... I think she is a magician! I've been to massage therapists where I felt worse after... or felt nothing at all (as if they just rubbed lotion on me). No exaggeration, I was able to move my neck after my massage!!! The following day, all of my pain and muscle spasms were gone. Finito! It was incredible. This meant I could get back to my life because now I could move. Lily did that. Lily understands Body Work really well, she is professional and attentive to your needs, and she is a chill person. I really enjoyed working with her!

Since then Ive had surgery for an achilles tendon tear and tore a laborum muscle. After a few months of regular sessions, Lily's skills have once again allowed me to return to the ocean to play again. Therapeutic massage may involve some discomfort but Ive learned to trust that she is a healer and the results have been amazing. She is kind and patient and will listen to your feedback to find what works for you. Lily is a true professional, highly trained, with decades of experience, backed by a gifted intuition which allows her to find roots of pain and inflammation.

I called to see if they had an appointment today. I wanted to see Eida, who was actually the owner. However, she only walked until 2 PM. But I was able to see Sandra, who was very humble, super nice, and welcoming. Sandra is wonderful. I only had an hour for the full body massage, had requested on specific areas. Like the neck and the feet. She worked on those focus area for an hour and was great. I told her a little bit of my TMJ, she's very informative and told me how I can do home remedies massages for myself, as well as certain areas that we found were tender as she did some pressure points, and told me how to straighten my muscles. After the session was done, my feet felt great after standing for eight hours yesterday at work. My neck also feels very relaxed, I came in with tension and tightness, and she helped me loosen it up. Overall experience, highly recommend anyone that you see here, is all professionals with excellent technique. Only thing I wish before coming, was to let me know that it's only Venmo, PayPal, Zelle payments and that they didn't take credit cards. There were lots of parking in the space is very spacious. It's very clean, it's very peaceful vibe when you walk in.

Buyer beware! If you are paying ahead of time in full for services at Divine Massage and Skin, read…read morethis first! I give only 1 star on this review, because I cannot give ZERO. In September 2025, I contacted Antoinette, the owner of Divine Massage and Skin, to book 3 massage appointments for mid-October. The plan was to have her come to the Seascape resort, where she was doing the massages in suite. Her policy was to pay in full upon booking any services, which I did via credit card ($635). Unfortunately, our trip was cancelled. So I contacted Anoinette via text to notify her & request a refund well within the cancelation window. She promptly replied & said the refund would show up within 7-14 days. After waiting that timeframe & seeing no refund, I contacted Antoinette again to inquire on the status of it. She said her accountant had dropped the ball & she would do it right away. Within 5 minutes (not 7-14 days), I had a pending credit on my card statement. After a few days, that pending credit dropped off & did not finalize. So I contacted her again, and she said it was out of her hands. She could not re-issue the credit & there was nothing she could do. She told me to dispute the charge with my credit card company & she would approve it right away. So I did, and after a few more weeks passed, my credit card company reached back out to us saying the business was refusing the dispute. The business told them that she had provided services & that she owed me nothing. Not true. Then, the business owner said she had already sent me a partial credit & that we were square. All lies. Once I provided the entire text conversation between myself & Antoinette to the credit card company, they swiftly ruled in our favor. It took over 2 months to get my money back.
