I had a wonderful experience at Sanctuary and can't recommend it enough…read more I received a massage from one of Kristin's students, and I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and skill. The pressure was just right, and she intuitively found areas of tension I didn't even realize I was holding. I felt a noticeable difference not only immediately after, but in the days that followed. It's clear that Kristin has created a space where therapists are thoughtfully trained and supported; there's a high level of professionalism and presence that really comes through. The space itself is peaceful and calming. I'll admit I was briefly confused when I arrived since it's located on the second floor, but once inside, everything felt welcoming, organized, and serene. They were ready for me right on time, and the whole experience felt smooth and intentional from start to finish. If you're looking for a place where you'll be genuinely cared for and in good hands, Sanctuary is absolutely worth a visit.

We chose her initially for my wife's pregnancy to entrust someone to give her prenatal massage and Amber was the absolute best. You really want someone who knows what they're doing because of how sensitive the body is and Amber is a mom herself and knows how it feels. For me, I like deep tissue and Amber is SO GOOD at it and doesn't hurt the muscles, some deep tissue is totally off base and they go into areas and damage more than they help but Amber is right on the money. She's a healer, an extraordinary person, and we're SO excited for her new spot, we used to have her come by all the time when she had a mobile setup but now looking forward to going into her new sanctuary!!

I like how she knows a variety of techniques as well as energy work. Not many people around do cranial sacral balancing. Her touch is gentle yet profound at the same time. I feel like every time I'm getting a session. It feels like a warm hug from my best friend. I have been seeing her for a few years now and was pleasantly surprised this last week when I stepped into her New Spa oasis in downtown Walnut Creek. I always joke with her that she can be an interior designer. Because everything is top-notch. Don't think just because she does Swedish and lymphatic drainage that her deep tissue is weak. Her deep tissue knocks my knots right out. If you're looking for a high-quality Massage, this is the place you need to book. One of the best parts about her new location is that it includes free parking.

I am surprised how deep of work was done because the entire session was very enjoyable / no pain. My favorite part was the face and head lymphatic massage, so Relaxing! On my way out I was served an organic tea to go which was such a nice touch. The studio is lovely, clean and has a lux feel to it. I will be a regular going forward, Thank you, Nancy!

I booked an appointment with Carlos about a week in advance through his online scheduling system…read more Simple, easy, and exactly how booking should be. What made me drive over an hour for bodywork when there are plenty of massage therapists closer to home? One thing: myofascial release. I've entered a season of healing and wanted someone who could help me work through years of tension that have settled into my body. Carlos did exactly that. During my two-hour session, he worked on my jaw, neck, shoulders, and even my tongue. Yes, my tongue. I know that sounds strange, but I had no idea how much tension I was holding there until he started working on it. It was one of the most unusual yet freeing experiences I've ever had. At one point, I found myself crying, not because anything hurt, but because it felt like years of tension stored in my jaw were finally letting go. What sets Carlos apart isn't just his skill level, which is top-tier. It's his ability to connect with genuine empathy. For this type of bodywork, that matters. Two hours wasn't enough to unwind decades of tension, but it was enough to make me realize how much more work there is to do. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for someone to help release chronic tension, pain, and stress while leaving you feeling lighter and more at peace, I highly recommend Carlos.

He is excellent! He's a gentle soul, very friendly and comfortable to be around, and a skilled masseuse. In addition to his many years of experience he is intuitive and seems to know exactly what area to work on and in what order. Carlos has worked on my entire body, head to toe and I am making progress on reducing hip, lower back and shoulder pain. I'll be continuing with him and highly recommend him to anyone in pain or on a healing path. Thank you!

A few weeks ago I strained my back while performing sit ups incorrectly at my gym. Argh! I never knew how lovely back spasms felt! They eventually even entertained my right hip! Lucky for me, I received an Amazon local deal offer for a massage by Robert. A few days after my massage my back felt much better. This morning I had a second massage. His technique is different from other massages I have had in the past. He is very kind, capable, and offers a wonderful healing experience. read more

I came to him dealing with chronic and constant back pain, mostly from recent weight lifting and what I later learned was some misalignment in my hips. I had tried sports massages, heating/icing, foam rolling, stretching and nothing seemed to help my lower back pain. I was honestly just hoping for a little relief--but what I got was so much more. Dan is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he also brings such a grounded, genuine presence that made me feel immediately at ease. He took the time to really listen and understand what was going on with my body, and his approach was both intuitive and precise. After just one session, I've already noticed a real difference in how I move and feel--something I didn't think was possible after struggling with this pain for so long. Dan was also extremely flexible around my schedule and worked to get me in last minute, which showed not only his passion for what he does, but his commitment to helping others. And I have to mention Stella, his sweet dog, who was the cherry on top of an already healing and comforting experience. She brings such a warm, calming energy to the space. If you're dealing with pain or just want truly therapeutic bodywork from someone who really knows what they're doing and cares deeply about it, I can't recommend Dan enough!
