All the way through, 5 stars, and I have to agree! Jessica is the best! I've had several massages before but none compare to the Overall service Jessica provides. She has a beautiful heart and she is great at what she does, really in tune with your body. I totally recommend Meditation for muscles, you Must book with Jessica right away, you won't regret it. read more

Absolutely one of the best messages I've gotten in the city and I've gotten a rub down from several different message therapists.She took her time even went a little over on the time of the message & really soothed some tense muscles in my back I'd been recently having trouble with. Absolutely top notch!!!! I'd say she's the best but I didn't get hookd up with a happy ending-jk:) Oh btw normally she has specials going on occasionally so get those muscles relaxed and save some at the same time read more

Jessica is by far the best masseuse I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Without having to give too many details, she knows exactly where the focus should be and how much pressure is needed. Without a doubt I'll be visiting Jessica monthly, it's well worth the money. read more

I cannot recommend Meditation for Muscles enough. This is seriously the best massage experience I have ever had. Jessica takes great care to ask you where you are, not only physically, but mentally. She creates a comfortable atmosphere both in her process of getting to know you as well as the aesthetic of the environment. She is sensitive to what you need and acts and moves you with firm, but gentle care. She is obviously extremely knowledgable about muscle and skeletal structure and responds to your body appropriately. If you are thinking about getting a massage, get one here. You will not be sorry. read more

I've had many massages and Jessica's is one of the very best. Even before you arrive, Jessica will email you asking where your trouble spots are and what you expect from the massage. When you arrive, she will discuss your answers with you and see if there's anything else that needs to be addressed. It usually takes me a while to start relaxing during a massage but with Jessica, I almost fell asleep in the first 15 min. It may be because she starts with a mini scalp massage before tackling the back! Throughout the massage she applied the right pressure on the different trouble spots I had and she went at a good pace. I'm definitely happy I met her and will be returning. If you are a picky 'massagee' like I am, then give Jessica a try. Pros: calm and quiet atmosphere filled with wonderful scents of aromatherapy. Cons: she's too far from me ;) read more

What a standout sense ot touch! I envied the people who said they could drift into sleep during massages. Jessica is literally THE ONLY MASSEUR who has had the ULTIMATE combination to allow me to do that! Aside from a safely private n cozy environment, she is well versed in complementary aromas and willing to dispense any needed information inquiries regarding health and food. Very personable with a likeable spirit. A STANDOUT experience altogether. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND read more

I would give Jessica 840 million stars if possible! The entire experience is flawless. She is so welcoming and warm and is truly the best massage therapist I have ever been to. Her space is very relaxing and she adds to the entire experience with her gift for choosing the perfect aromas. She's the absolute best! read more

In 2016 I moved back to my native Los Angeles after 21 years away, and the grueling search began for a new massage therapist. It took a while to find Jessica, but I don't plan to ever leave! She is kind and friendly, ye also an exemplary professional. She has mad massage skills -- every session is different! She uses a powerful combination of her diverse massage skillset, plus intuition, aromatherapy, and her background as a generally cool human with a variety of life experiences. Her space is calming without feeling sterile or overly woo, and she has an approach that can be spiritual and Big Picture, yet also realistic, practical and no BS. She's an excellent listener, empathetic and non-judgmental. She manages her business very effectively from her website and online scheduling, to automatic reminders and always being on time. I hesitate to write this review since I want to still be able to book her time lol but her excellence and kindness must be recognized! Meditation + Muscles = my healthier, calmer, active 50-year-old body and mind! Thank you! read more

Jess is amazing!!! I've been to see her a couple times now and she has been consistently fantastic. The atmosphere is relaxing and Jess has a great personality, she makes you feel comfortable instantly, she's fun and funny when appropriate but not overbearing. I left the massage table feeling like a new woman and have been referring all my friends to her! If you need a massage I highly recommend checking her out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow. Really as good as it gets from start to finish. Jessica really is a maestro at what she does and can't wait to go back to her for my next prenatal massage. She left me feeling comforted, relaxed, happy, and very calm. She has an excellent pressure level for someone who likes deep tissue, which is very difficult to find when it comes to prenatal massages. She is warm, caring, and really just an all-around healer. One of the best massages I have ever had! read more

Hands down, Jessica is the best massage therapist I've had the pleasure of working with. Her approach is thoughtful, making me feel nurtured while on the table. I saw her for a prenatal massage when I was super pregnant and she made every effort to make me more comfortable both while I was there and after I went home. She also takes feedback very well, so a trusting relationship is easy. I was gifted a large package of massages elsewhere and am actually looking forward to them running out so that I have an excuse to see Jessica again! read more

I never get massages and I never write reviews.... BUT I had to write a review about Jessica's massage business. WOW! I think I'm going to be addicted to massages! The space is lovely, Jessica is amazingly professional and perfect. I loved every second of it. It was a mix of relaxing but also fixed a kink in my back. She is the BEST! Thank you Jessica! I CANNOT wait to go back!!! read more

This is a place for healing on multiple levels - emotional and mental health not just traditional body work - by an incredible all-women business. Ask about their virtual Resilience Toolkit Sessions! Jessica and Tiana perform phenomenal work. You will cry tears of stress relief, sleep like a baby the night of your session, and feel reborn again the next day. read more

The best massage I've ever had. Love, care, healing and incredible restoration. Jessica is incredible. Make sure you try to book a 2 hour with her for your first appointment so she can get in tune with what you need. There is this point where your head and neck are cradled and you can feel your neck and shoulders melt and you want to cry because of how relieved and safe you feel... read more

This was the best massage I've had in a really long time. Maybe ever. Both of my parents are massage therapists so I'm especially picky when it comes to getting massages, and I can say without equivocation that Jessica is truly talented. She has a really healing touch, you can tell that she understands the body and how muscles work, and she did some things that blew my mind in the massage - places I didn't even know I was storing tension. I let her know that I appreciate a good deep massage and she was able to really get in deep while still being gentle and relaxing. She created a space for me, laying on that table, where everything felt possible and I never wanted to leave. I'm planning my next massage already. She has a great spot in Highland Park, and she can also come to your house to do your appointment in your home. I got a massage for my partner on his birthday and she came to our house and he was so impressed. It was wonderful to be able to already be relaxing at home after the massage as well. I went to her place for my appointment and she had tea and water waiting for me at a lovely table and we sat and drank tea while she did an intake about what issues where bothering me. I let her know that I work at a computer all day and that I have a chronic lower back issue that's been acting up, and she knew just what to do for both. She really focused on those areas during the massage and was able to do things that I hadn't had done before that really worked to release the tension. She also spent time after the massage showing me stretching and self care techniques that will help to prevent these issues from continuing. I am so grateful to have found Jessica, and am glad she's back in Los Angeles where we can see her regularly. read more

Wow! I usually go to Chinese foot massage places because for the price, they are just as good as some of the more pricey massages and fancy spas I've been to. I'm reluctant to pay more for the same quality of massage just in nicer surroundings. But I was given a gift certificate to visit Jessica and her massages are totally amazing! She's incredibly mindful and present as she works on your body and has an amazing healing touch. I'm not easily impressed and I was very impressed with Jessica's work. Her work is outstanding especially for what she charges. I'm really looking forward to getting a massage with her again. read more

Jessica is hands down one of the best massages I've ever gotten. Was a bit weary finding a masseur off Yelp (usually think the best recommendation for massage is from someone you know well!), but I recently moved to the area and figured what better way to ring in the new year than with a massage. Jessica certainly didn't dissapoint! Schedule a 90 minute massage and melted like butter in her capable hands. She applied just the right amount of pressure with perfect technique and left me feeling rested and rejuvenated. She was SO good that I've scheduled regular massages with her moving forward. Don't miss out.. check her out! (Before I book all her free time, lol. :) read more

LOVE! Jessica is truly a gifted, intuitive bodyworker. This was my first session with Jessica and all I have to say is that I floated out of there at the end. It was that amazing. The ambience was perfect, dimly lit and tranquil. Jessica took time to listen to what was going on with my body physically and mentally. She began with a guided meditation to help bring gentle awareness to the body. Jessica has great technique, OMG I can not forget the scalp massage. My brain was melting in her hands, talk about letting stress go! Her knowledgeable technique helped gently unwind and soften fascia and release any muscle tension. This was the ULTIMATE MASSAGE! I felt totally pampered and appreciated the hot towels and heated pillow to sooth my neck muscles. Jessica's professionalism, warmth and connection really took healing to the highest level. Thank you for your nurturing touch. You are inspirational light body worker, I am so grateful for this experience! read more

It has been a long time since I've received a massage. I usually don't even bother getting massages because I've found that massage therapists generally fall under two categories: 1) The $20/hour who-knows-if-she's-even-licensed-indentured-servant who clearly has no idea where muscles are and just recklessly beats, bends, and stretches any joint she feels like while she spaces out, and 2) The kind that has fingers like rocks and digs into my neck muscles so intensely that I am left with a headache and soreness for days. Within one minute of starting the massage with Jessica, I knew this was the real deal. She started off with an extremely relaxing head and scalp massage-the kind that hair stylists sort of tease you with when they are washing your hair; you always want just a little bit more, but before you know it a towel is being wrapped on your head and you are asked to move to their chair. Not so with Jessica. This extremely relaxing and sensual start lasted a good 5-7 minutes before she progressed to my back. I could have asked for more, but given this excellent beginning, I wanted to see what else she had in store. She did not disappoint. She slowly worked on my upper back, feet, and arms with alternating medium-light to medium-hard pressure. She was very good about asking for feedback. (i.e. "I noticed your hand just twitched. Is this too painful?" or "How is this pressure?") When I gave her feedback, she would adjust her technique accordingly. Throughout the massage, she wasn't too chatty, but still came across as very warm. Afterwards, I felt very rejuvenated and when I looked in the mirror, I was glowing! Thanks Jessica! read more

I'm very petite, that being said its always hard to find someone who knows how to massage different body types. Jessica has always been very strong while respecting my little stature. I'm never aching but always refreshed! read more

I went to see Jessica for a massage and was so pleased I did I can't wait to return for my next one! Aside from being super sweet and pleasant, she has a firm touch and isn't afraid to work deep on the areas that need it. I usually prefer a male therapist for this reason, but not anymore! She also uses different scented oils which help to sooth and relax the mind and assisted in helping me forget some of the reasons I needed a massage in the first place! read more

Jessica has a knack for rubbing me in the right places! She is very intuitive, I don't have to say much and she already knows where my poor back is aching. When she touches you it is easy to forget about the crappy day you may have had and the next thing you know you have melted away into the table. She is flexible, consistent, and gives amazing quality massages! read more

This was one of the best massages and experiences I've ever had! Jessica asked some questions before the massage to find out if there were areas to focus on. Her pressure was perfect and her massage really works your muscles to help relieve tension. The room was clean, peaceful and temperature was perfect. She was lovely to chat with and very professional. I highly recommend Jessica at Meditation for Muscles! read more

If you're looking for an excellent, well-priced massage in the NELA area, you just found it. Jessica's attentive, careful and communicative, highly skilled and knowledgable, strong and gentle at the same time - the real deal. I'm SO glad I treated myself and that I chose her as the one to work on me. I'll definitely be back for more of her massages! read more

Meditation for Muscles has been my savior! I have gone here after moving apartments in the city, which usually means fitting big furniture through small doors and carrying up and down flights of stairs! Jessica was able to work out all of my kinks! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and the massage room we were in was incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend her services anytime and can't wait for my next massage! read more

Guys!!! This is the one! Take your fingers off of your laptop and put them on your phone to book an appointment! This was the best massage I've had in ages!!! I feel so relaxed, nurtured and taken care of! Can't wait to go back! read more

Jessica is AMAZING!!! I have been going to Jessica for my massages for over a year now and will definitely keep going for years to come. I always leave so relaxed and all my stress melted away. She is extremely professional and listens to what you want in a massage. She is great with communication and is able to adapt to your needs. You definitely need to try a massage from her, you will be hooked!! read more

Jessica has given me several 60-minute and 90-minute deep tissue massages, and they were phenomenal. She provides a perfect atmosphere for relaxation, and she is an expert at her craft. I'm bummed I don't live close by anymore! read more

A breath of fresh air. Jessica doesn't just treat your body, she'll work through thoughts or anxieties with you that can very well be a source for strain on the body. Also, I have sensitive, acne prone skin, and Jessica uses only the best oils - I've never had any adverse response to her products. In addition, the aromatherapy is so calming - not intoxicating as I've experienced during other massages (I do react to overly fragrant florals though, so maybe this is just me). Just top notch. read more

This review is long overdue, but I had the best massage ever with Jessica! I had a pregnancy massage and her hands felt like rolling thunder. It was really nice and she was professional in a way that made me comfortable when I'm usually squeamish about being touched. The ambiance of the studio was very relaxing- low lights, lavender, gentle music...it was all fantastic. I will definitely come back again. Thanks so much! read more

I love Jessica!!! I have had many massages, and Jessica is by far the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. The moment you walk into her space, you feel relaxed. There is tea waiting for you. She sits down with you and makes sure she knows what need/want from the massage. She is very intuitive and knows what your body needs. She uses a holistic approach incorporating stretching and essential oils which is so relaxing. She cares deeply about your experience. Also great deal- 90 dollars from 90 minutes! Couldn't recommend Jessica more! read more

Jessica is super highly skilled at what she does, plus she's warm and actually cares how I'm doing and feeling. It's the best.

Jessica is a GREAT masseuse. She really knows the layout of your muscles in your body and how to apply pressure and adjustments to them when they are out of place or tight. Highly recommend her and her high expertise. read more

None have compared to Jessica, the time and effort she puts in is far better than anything i have experienced taking the time to find out exactly whats going on before even touching the table. Very comfortable!!! read more

"Touched By Angel" must have been based on this business because the moment Jessica started to work on my stress it just melted away! Words can't describe the amazing power this young woman wields, super highly recommend seeing her and pampering yourself to a massage that will have you tingling with rejuvenation! read more

Just got a massage with Jessica last night, and it was wonderful, from beginning to end. The experience starts with Jessica e-mailing to confirm and remind you of the appointment date, then on the same day will send a text saying she's ready whenever I'm ready. So the attention to the customer already starts from there. Once there, she'll serve you tea and ask about what kind of work you do and what muscle group should she focus on. I like deep-tissue, and deep-tissue I got! The massage bed is nicely heated, and the facial pillow thing is nicely scented, so it's relaxing upon laying down. I got the 90-minute service and she used every minute of it. You can tell she's a pro because her technique was amazing: she expertly used her forearms and elbows along with her hands and took her time with every muscle group. She has great strength as well so my deep-tissue was indeed that. I was so relaxed during the whole thing that halfway through it I even fell asleep for a bit. So in conclusion, Jessica has myself and my girlfriend as long term customers; we will surely be going back and I've already recommended her to family members and co-workers. read more

Jessica is an incredible massage therapist and clearly is passionate about what she does! This makes the experience that much more rich and meaningful. I love receiving a massage from someone who is passionate about the trade and about caring for people. I highly recommend her. Also she went out of her way to schedule me the day of, even though my schedule was difficult that day. I love her holistic approach to a massage and that she makes you feel heard and appreciated. Definitely try her out! read more

Jessica was awesome! She came to my studio since I wasn't able to drive. Not too hard, not too soft. Converstaion was pleasant and not overly chatty. She was very kind to my injured neck. I would definitely recommend and I'll be sure to have her back soon. read more

Jessica's a savior. I've had neck, and back pains for three weeks and I went to see Jessica and she did what other chiropractors, and massage therapists couldn't do. I spent so much money trying to find the person to help me, and finally so glad I met Jessica. read more

Wonderful! Jessica really takes time and care to treat you like an individual. I've seen her several times and recommend her highly.
