A couple of months ago, my friend, who is a massage therapist, took a workshop on Thai massage…read more Luckily, she wanted to test out her techniques on someone, and luckily, I happened to be nearby. Holy cow. My muscles didn't know what hit them. After that brief introduction to Thai massage, I decided I wanted to try out the real deal. So my search led me to Yelp, which led me to Mark Bonus. First of all, his name. How cool is his name? When you meet him in real life, you immediately begin to question your lifestyle and wonder how can you become more like Mark. He is zen. He is peaceful. He is calm. I adore his aura. Then, there is the massage. It's soothing and therapeutic. I felt like a giant blob that Mark was molding and putting back together. I never want to get up from the mat after he is done. So, the first time I visited, I opted for the 60 minute Thai massage. It is not enough time. On my subsequent trips, I've booked 90 minute sessions, which gives him more time to focus on my problem areas. I believe most Thai massage therapists generally recommend at least 90 minutes, so keep that in mind if you decide to book, which I highly, highly, suggest you do. Your body will thank you.

First, I get regular massages (try for every other month or more) and I get regular body work so I…read morecan tell a good one from a bad one. Second, get the thai to table massage for 2 hours. Its the best of both worlds and it was incredible. Third, $1/minute is incredibly reasonable and I would have paid more than that for this massage. Now onto the review... To call Bonus a magician would be to insult his knowledge, body awareness intelligence, touch, and craft that he clearly has mastered. Its been 2 weeks since my massage and I'm tempted to get on a plane back to Austin just so that I can see him. I spent 2.5 hours with this man and not only did I love his home, love the sacred space he created for massage, and have a great time getting to know him, I left knowing more about my body. I also left walking straighter and taller than ever before. He's incredibly attentive to parts of your body that are tight, for me it was my hips. Which he stretched and massaged in every which way and they felt better for days. This wasn't just a massage, it was a lesson in body mechanics. I learned about pain/tightness usually occurring on diagonals (sore left shoulder, tight right hip, etc.). He massaged the front part of my shoulder, my pecs, which most people forget/don't work on. Most of us spend our life hunched forward in some way - at a computer, hunched back, etc., so its incredibly important to massage a muscle and joint from the front and back. I kinda knew this, but Bonus cemented it. He also taught me a killer massage for the front of my hip flexors, which almost made me want to puke, but I felt like I got new hips. There's nothing to think about. This man is amazing, so go get a massage from him. Oh and sassy miss waxy, his lovely partner, is pretty rad too so take care of that if you need. Hopefully I'll be back in Austin soon or I'll clone Bonus and bring him to SF. Side note: I'm not sure if anyone reading this is nervous about a male masseuse, but let me assure you, you have nothing to worry about. First, Bonus is just a good, kind gentle soul and you see that the minute you meet him. 2, Sassy Miss Waxy and he run their business out of their home and it rocks. And 3, if you're uncomfortable, get a thai massage where you can wear yoga clothes and it will be incredible.

It's my fault for not stopping Mary during my deep tissue massage…read more I was severely bruised. So much so I could not sleep on my back or sit down for 2 days. I looked like I got beat up.

I might try again there for a light Swedish next time. Very beautiful and clean establishment. Fairly priced.

If you like deep tissue massages with hot stones (and I mean deep), you're going to love this…read moreplace. I asked for a *gentle* 1-hour Swedish massage with hot stones, but due to the language barrier, I was assigned to a male therapist who gave me what I can only describe as a full-throttle deep tissue session. Right now, At 7:33 AM the next morning, I'm still recovering. I can't even sit back on the couch. Ouch. To be fair: the massage itself was very good... if that's the intensity you're looking for. But I didn't request deep tissue, and despite trying to clarify mid-massage, the language disconnect made it difficult to adjust. Most of the time was spent on my back and lower waist, and I'll be blunt...there's a level of close contact here that not everyone will be comfortable with. In the process of maneuvering around the table and working deeply, there were moments of full-body proximity that included unintentional contact with the masseuse's more... PERSONAL areas. It wasn't lewd or inappropriate, just a side effect of close-quarters bodywork. But if you're squeamish about that kind of thing, this may not be your spot. BUT NOW...let me sing the praises of the hot stones. Truly the highlight. They're included with the massage and offer soothing, deep heat without burning. After the intense pressure of the deep tissue work I didn't ask for, the stones were a welcomed slice of heaven. I'd come back just for those alone. I could do this part every single day. In short: this place delivers a strong, effective massage...but be clear and very specific about what you want, and understand that the language barrier may require a bit of patience. Also, prepare for full-body immersion ***in every sense***. Body parts may touch but they are simply doing their job. Enjoy.
