I desperately needed help with the pain from a big knot in my back that I'd had for a week. I was able to get 90 minutes of deep tissue work from Paranee that day. It was a wonderful and effective treatment in beautiful and relaxing surroundings. Paranee worked on that knot and found many others as she expertly smoothed out and stretched my tight muscles, while checking in with me as she went. I'm going back to continue releasing the tightness I've lived with for years. read more

When I made an appointment at Marin Massage Therapy, little did I know I would be seeing my amazing therapist from Majestic Thai, Paranee (see my review of her and Majestic from a couple years ago). What a pleasant surprise to see her as the owner of Marin Massage! Paranee is an incredibly talented therapist who knows how to get right at the pain without causing any discomfort. I've had chronic arthritis in my lower back for several years and she was able to expertly move the stiffness and give me immediate relief. I would highly recommend Marin Massage Therapy! read more

I was soooo grateful to be able to book a last-minute massage for relaxation. I've had a lot of massage over the years and this was one of the best. I asked for relaxation and that's exactly what I got: pressure that was even, at that perfect edge to get at the tension without causing pain, and with the fantastic addition of stretches and hot stones (how did she know these are my favs?!). Plus, walking into the space my whole body just sighed. The room is dim and beautiful, with perfect music and lovely scents. I've paid 3x as much for massages that weren't this good. I'm thrilled to have a local spot I can afford to come to regularly. Thank you, Paranee! And thank you, Yelp reviewers, for the great feedback that made me willing to give this new spot a try! read more

Paranee is so talented! She always asks me where I need help and gives me tips on stretching. Love her massages :)

I am so deeply grateful to have found Paranee and Marin Massage Therapy! My dad found Paranee this summer through a Google search and was raving about how she was finally getting to the root of the neck pain he has been suffering with for years. He extended his vacation in Marin by several weeks to keep having massages with her, and left town feeling a radical reduction in chronic neck and back pain. His rave reviews made me want to try out a massage with Paranee, and I am so glad I did! I have been struggling with hip pain that has not responded to the wide variety of treatments I've tried over the last year. Paranee's skill, intuition, and attuned touch/pressure were as beneficial for me as they were for my dad. She found the source of the hip pain deep in the side of my torso in areas that I wasn't even aware were tight, and I have experienced a major reduction in hip discomfort after just a few appointments. I don't usually take the time to write a Yelp review, but I really want more people to know about what Paranee is offering. Her rates area also very reasonable compared to a lot of massage therapists in Marin. What she offers is much more than a relaxing massage - it is extremely therapeutic. Her space is beautiful, clean, and peaceful, and I was easily able to drop into a deeply relaxing state at our very first appointment. I have tried many massage therapists in Marin and it never quite felt like a fit. I am so thankful to have found someone I can go to when my body needs tending, and who I can wholeheartedly recommend to friends and family who are needing a healing massage. read more

My partner and I have been getting massages from Paranee for many years. Besides being an amazing massage therapist, she is also a very kind and compassionate person. We feel relaxed just being in her presence. So glad she has opened her own business, which is super clean and comfortable. We look forward to seeing her, hopefully more often! read more

I have been seeing Paranee since my whiplash accident in June 2022 once a month since. Previouisly I was scheduling massages every now and then at different massage facilities in the County of Marin. The Chiropractir who treated my neck injury referred me to Paranee, and I was amazed with her techniques that relieved tension, tightness and pain all throughout my body. Paranee is extremely talented and can pinpoint body areas that need attention. Following release of my injury claim I continue to receive monthly massages at Parenee's new location at Redwood HW in San Rafael. Her rates are reasonable and you don't feel gouged and leave in a euphoric state of well being.. read more

Paranee is just the best. Period. A highly skilled massage therapist and a wonderful person.

For more than two years I have looked forward to her excellent care, warm presence, and the relaxation that I feel after. read more
