EVERYTHING! When you go to a therapeutic massage clinic, you're there to enter a healing space. Lilly is an Amazing Therapist, a former nurse who has seen everything the profession entails. She brings these skills to her therapy, and YOU need to be clear about what you're asking for. She is practiced in - among other methods -deep tissue massage; if you don't know what that is, or did not ask,-posting a whiney complaint that "she hurt my back" shows a lack of understanding on your part. Yes, Deep Tissue Massage can hurt, initially; if you can withstand a few minutes of that minor "pain" you will find that the pain that brought you there has been alleviated. If the "pain" of her skilled treatments are beyond your tolerance - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE This is not for everyone, until you realize the benefit she provides, So Please do not disparage her knowledge and skill with a comment based on ignorance. One 30 minute session changed the chronic aching in BOTH legs and BOTH shoulders to the point where i stopped blaming my joints for the searing spasms and missteps into the realization that the major nerves affected EVERYTHING i was feeling. The first (approximately) 10 minutes were spent on my feet; not gonna say it didn't hurt, it was like standing on a stone directly under your heels. The good news? THAT discomfort simply left my body, and it vanished quickly. She knew it before i did. Go o Mister Softy's generic massage if you want your skin and muscles gently rubbed - which feels good, sure, but the benefits are short -lived. I could go on... Lily is the Best!! Hands and Feet DOWN!!! read more

Lily is so personable and caring. I was having lower back issues and had been experiencing it for a while. I came in to get a massage and feel like I was "reset." Lily uses strong pressure, but my back doesn't hurt and I slept like a baby the evening after my massage. read more

Great experience. Lily knows what she is doing. She has a well understanding of anatomy since she was in the nursing field back in the day. Lily explains what she is doing and takes really good care of you. She understands your body and focuses on areas that are stressed. You will be in a private room and get hot towels too. Great and friendly to talk to. An hour was not enough time. read more

Hurt. She walked all over me and painfully pressed even after asking for softer pressure. Bruised after

Lily truly made me feel so refreshed and new walking out today. I work as a dental assistant and my main areas of pain are my neck, legs, and lower back. She took her time working each targeted area I needed and made sure throughout the massage to check the pressure level. In addition I did some cupping as well for my first time and it was intense but so worth it for my pain in my shoulder areas. Overall I would highly recommend Lily for your relaxation and pain needs. I will definitely be coming back and eventually taking my husband to her as well! read more

Wow. This massage blew my mind away. Lily is absolutely magical. I stand for hours for work and my muscles and legs were so sore. I've been in need of a massage for a long time. I am newer to the Sacramento region area and went to Yelp to help me lock a business down. Lily responded so quickly after I texted her and was able to get me in same day. I am definitely coming back. And if you're on the fence don't be. Text and make that appointment asap. These massages are powerful. You will not be disappointed. Also her location has changed. read more

Lily is great!! She definitely knows what she is doing and is very professional and caring. Very reasonable prices. She consistently asks if you are okay with the pressure and how you're feeling. She's worth every penny! Very strong and caring. read more

My lower back has recently started hurting while in my third trimester of pregnancy. After finding Lily through Yelp, I texted her asking to book a prenatal massage. She was super responsive and was able to fit me in quickly for a session the very next day. Located in a room inside Artistry Salon & Spa, I didn't really know what to expect. However, I left incredibly impressed. Parking was a breeze despite being there on a Saturday afternoon. The lot is shared by Grocery Outlet and multiple small businesses. For my prenatal massage, Lily instructed me to lie on my side and kept me comfy with a handful of pillows. She found knots and tightness I didn't know I had that was affecting my lower back. I left feeling so refreshed. Definitely one of the best massages I have had. She applied great pressure while checking in multiple times to see if it too much / felt good. Highly recommend! read more

I've had just about every type of massage in a multiplicity of countries worldwide during my travels and Lilly is the simply the best!! She is clearly a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist who will treat you with the utmost of care. She has truly improved my quality of life! I've been a long time sufferer of chronic pain and inflammation from overuse injuries during my younger, competitive athletic years...Lilly's deep tissue massage is legendary read more

My back has been hurting for 2+ years now from work so I finally got massage for the first time here! Lily fixed my back in a 2-hour massage session! Highly recommend this place, she's a real deal. Only go to Lily if you want results. read more

Lily is amazing, she is attentive and works every muscle ache and pain out. She worked on my arm for 30 minutes straight until she got every night out I have been going to acupuncture physical therapy, yoga anything to subside the pain and she worked her magic and I feel 100 times better. She hit every pressure point and stretch me every which way to my body was less tense and able to move my arm and rotate my neck. If you're suffering from any type of back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain she is the person to go to!! read more

Lily is the real deal! Very sweet and patient as she gets you situated in the massage studio. Relaxing music sets the tone and then she begins her magic! Not to be missed! read more

Great massage. Prenatal massage was amazing . She has firm pressure. I have issues with massage therapist in pregnancy because they just rub and don't relieve any tension. Lily was a nurse so is very knowledgeable. Going back next week before delivery. Thanks!!! read more

Hands down, one of the best if not the bestmassages I've ever had. She is truly a master of her craft with a deep understanding of the body. She knows exactly how to find problem areas and work them out effectively. The pressure was amazing, I appreciate when a therapist really puts their back into it. I've been to places that advertise firm massages but end up using such a light touch that it's more ticklish than therapeutic. That was definitely not the case here. I would absolutely recommend her. They have a new location down florin by the Grocery Outlet. The office set up was a nice and cozy room with great sound proofing and calming music. My experience was definitely amazing. read more

She's incredible at what she does! I always go back to her whenever I have lower back pain, or pain from sitting down for too long and bad posture. She's very very knowledgeable about her craft, and responds within 24 hours for booking an appointment. read more

I wanted to wait a week before my honest review. If you're on the fence with booking your apt with Lily, do it! I had this stagnant stiff pain on my neck and shoulders for some time due to bad posture while working and was debating on making the apt for a few weeks until one day I had enough. Lily was so responsive and welcoming and was able to schedule me in on a rainy day. It hurt so good that I caught myself almost dosing off twice! My neck and shoulders feel so much lighter and less strained. I am definitely sleeping better. Lily knows what she is doing! I will be coming back! Thank you Lily! read more

I figured I should write this while I'm on my 'Lily high'. (You can use that too- after you meet her, you'll understand!) I started getting low back pain about 2 months ago. I finally found time in the schedule to book a chiro appt about a month ago. I got the adjustment but was told it was muscular pain causing my issues. So, of course I put it off another month Enter Lily. I booked an appointment (by text- how super easy is that?!) And her recommendation was to book one of the longer sessions to ensure there was time to focus on helping with the back/shoulder pain. It wasn't one of those weak tickly kind of massages. She really worked the muscles and brought relief. Today was the first day in at least 2 months that I'm not in pain. Lily, I'm indebted to you! See you again soon! read more

I was hesitant to get a massage for a long time due to my old injuries and chronic back pain. Lily was the first person to pop up when I searched for top massage places in the area and I decided to give her a try due to her experience as a NP as well. I highly recommend Lily. She is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about what she does. This was my very first professional massage experience and I will continue to go to her. read more

Lily is amazing! I came in with really bad neck and shoulder pain, and she found every tight spot and worked it out perfectly. I felt so much better right after--relaxed, lighter, and pain-free. She really knows what she's doing. Thank you, Lily! I'll definitely be back. read more

Lily deserves more than 5 stars. I never go out of my way to write reviews unless I feel strongly and I HIGHLY recommend Lily. Not only was she extremely responsive and accommodating to my last minute request, she is an outstanding above average massage therapist. Also so friendly and sweet. I have been to many massage therapists/reflexologists and Lily stands out big time. She has rhythm, intention, strength and pure magic within her. I basically died and went to heaven. THANK YOU LILY AND SEE YOU SOON! read more

Lily was hands on. She uses thai ointment that soothes into your body for relief. Great pressure points...will definitely schedule another session. read more

Ive been looking for a place i can get a quality massage and someone that finds area i need work on and focuses! This is the place and lily is the one to take care of me, you and probably any one else you know that's needs a deep tissue massage. My whole life i stand 10-12 hours a day for work and i recently change to sitting a majority of the day. I thought my issue was my upper back ( and yes i cosleep with my kids too) but once she started in my feet i felt relief already. As show worked her way through my body she throughly explained why areas were tighter than others and explained her technique to ensure i was comfortable. Trust me this is where you need to go for deep tissue. read more

(Note : She has moved) First time trying a massage with Lili. I was a little concerned when I arrived. It is in the back of a hair salon. I was also concerned she wouldn't be strong enough to put enough strong pressure during the massage when I met her. Wrong. She knows how to use her weight, feet, elbows to really hit the pressure points. Honestly I was shocked at how great this massage was. I haven't had one in years. She worked previously as an RN so she knows the body's anatomy and pressure points to focus on. I am definitely going back. It's a long drive for me but I highly recommend her. She was able to help the lain K have in my shoulders and the tightness in my hamstrings (which affects lower back). read more

I'm an ultrasound tech and Lily knows exactly where to target! Helps a lot with shoulder and standing pains. She's worth it

I always go to Lily when I am experiencing hip pain. She is very skilled, and has helped tremendously!

Lily was by far the most amazing masseuse I've ever had, and I've had massages from all over the world. She has a medical background and pinpoints the root cause of why you are in pain, and customizes your massage specifically towards your needs. She knew the exact pressure points to use - even knowing the exact pressure - to make sure that all of your muscles release. Most other masseuses give the same massage routine over/over, but I've never had one take the time to get to know me and tailor my massage specifically for me and what my body needs! I am pain free, and I've never been this way just after one massage. Absolutely amazing experience, and I highly recommend! read more

I was having severe pain across my upper back and shoulders to the point it was difficult to drive or turn my head. Sleeping eventually became an issue because I was in so much pain at night. I left this establishment pain free and ready to get back to my normal life. I highly recommend you visit, you will not be disappointed. You will be pleasantly surprised at the skill level of Lily. If you are looking for a true therapist type masseuse look no further. If you are an athlete or construction worker do yourself a favor and book an appointment today. read more

Lily was amazing! She knows exactly what she is doing and how to improve areas that I didn't even know were right. Will be back for sure.

I rarely write reviews but she deserves a 5 star. I've been wanting to get a massage and looked for one near me. I messaged her to ask for availability for the day and she asked if tonight works. I locked down the time and saw her. Very easy to communicate and schedule. When I got there, she asked me what my issue is and I let her know my lower and upper back are the spots that I want targeted. I didn't have to tell her how hard I need it, she just knows. She took care of the areas I needed attention. She asks if everything feels good to see if you need it harder or softer. But to me, the way she did it was perfect. The heating pads, oils, and hot towels were a nice addition. Especially for my upper back and shoulder area. I would certainly go get a massage with Lily again. read more

Lily quickly replied to my text message today and I was able to schedule a same day appointment. She did a combination of massage styles including deep tissue, Thai, cupping and hot stones. She really worked on my problem areas and was checking in to make sure the pressure was just right. I felt much lighter and the tension in my upper back subsided after the massage. Her room is clean, private, and peaceful. Will definitely be back! read more

Lily gave me the best massage of my life. But damn was it painful. That's the difference you get going to a licensed and knowledgeable massage therapist, versus cheaper parlors. Lily went in very deep and was able to identify issues I've been dealing with on the left side of my body without me even telling her. She knows her sh*t. She asked me what I do for work and once she realized I worked construction, she got into the nitty gritty about the areas of concern that are specific to me (which are my shoulders and lower back). And she took care of business and spent adequate time and attention to those areas. If you don't like deep tissue you aren't gonna like this, Lily definitely tested my pain threshold, however she definitely left me feeling relieved afterwards. I immediate felt way less tense after my session. Give it a shot, I don't think you'll regret it. read more

Great massage! Feels great after!!! Thank you! I would get a massage again. I can't wait to get another one

Lily is a miracle worker! She truly understands the body and was able to get me in the same day as I reached out in severe pain. She was very polite and a joy to meet. read more

I have had major tension in my upper back, shoulders and neck due to the nature of my work. I've been to the chiropractor numerous times before with very limited success. I booked a two hour deep tissue massage with Lily and have had major relief from tension and stress. The room is a very comfortable environment. Lily will fix you! read more

Been craving for a massage for awhile and decided to go randomly. Went on Reddit and searched best massage in Sacramento and Lily popped up. Highly recommend. I was blown away how Lily was able to identify tight spots in my body I didn't even know. Did 60 mins but will try 75 next time. read more

This is the second massage I've had from Lily and both times I am left feeling completely relaxed and soothed, jello-like. I have seen maybe 25 or so massage therapists and can highly recommend Lily as one of the very best. She truly knows how to identify all the trouble areas intuitively and uses so many techniques and pressures needed. My two visits were completely customized to my body needs to get all the knots and tension out where she focused longer on areas that needed it more not just a standard preset routine type of massage. Thai massage was new to me but the pressure and style is so relaxing and really alleviates pain and tension on a next level, nothing compares. It can be at times uncomfortable as with some other deep tissue techniques when working deeply on the knots and tense areas, but not in a bad way. You know the muscles are getting stretched and can feel the knots coming undone and all the pain in back and body will be gone. She checks in often about the pressure and explains as she does certain techniques. And Lilly is just a funny and sweet person to be with as well. The massage room is just a little spot in the back of a salon, so if you're looking for a spa type ambiance, this isn't it. But the bed and pillow is comfortable, room is clean, and for a top notch high quality massage by a very skillful masseuse that actually knows how to gets rid of pain, then come here. You will not regret it. read more

I highly recommend Lily for all your massage needs! She is very attentive and knows all the right spots to focus on to release muscle tension and reduce pain. I work in physical therapy and get stiffness in my upper and lower back often. Lily is very knowledgeable, does the perfect amount of pressure, and even incorporates stretching into her session. She left me feeling great and relaxed after my massage! read more

I saw the great reviews and decided to try this place out myself, as I had a recent back strain from repetitive movement +/- working out. Lily, was amazing! She was a NP in Thailand and decided to pursue being a Thai masseuse. Lily is very knowledgeable about body work and knew my body better than I did myself. I elected a 90 minute treatment and I left feeling rejuvenated, less sore and knots be gone. Lily listened to my body, addressed it appropriately and even recommended things to help prevent future problems. So glad I stumbled upon this place. read more

If you like deep tissue work, Lily is the person for you! She got deep into the muscles quickly and relieved all the tension in my hip and hamstrings. She recently moved her location to 6405 Riverside Blvd, next to Grocery Outlet and has increased the pricing to $75/hour and that wasn't current on the other posts in Google or Yelp, so be prepared to pay a bit more. Otherwise, she is a great massage therapist and knows her stuff. read more

If you're looking for deep tissue massage that genuinely relieves pain, look no further. Lily is an incredible Thai masseuse and is so knowledgeable about her craft. She was a nurse back in Thailand and really understands the root causes of pain and how to address them. If you've never had Thai massage before, it's truly a cool experience. Lily will literally walk all over your body, using her entire body weight to get into your tension areas. This is not your typical massage. I literally learned so much in my session about my pain. I have chronic mid-back pain that I learned is caused primarily by tension in my hamstrings and butt. After my session, I could not believe how pain-free my back felt! Not only was the massage great, but Lily empowered me with knowledge to better address my pain and address the real root causes. read more
