Not to mention she is the sweetest human being as well! I was so hesitant to trust anyone with a massage especially while I was pregnant but after reading her bio on the website and learning she is also a doula- I felt at ease. I've been trying to see her at least every other week because she is just that amazing. She genuinely cares about her clients' wellbeing and even follows up with sending stretches to do in the meantime through email. This place is so lucky to have her! She's so good she gets booked up so fast, but she deserves all that love!

My first experience at G Medical Spa started off extremely disappointing, but I have to give…read moremanagement--and especially Brad Evans--credit for completely turning the experience around. I purchased a two-hour deep tissue massage with gua sha for $215. This was my first visit, and at that price point, I expected a top-tier deep tissue massage. Unfortunately, my first massage was a huge disappointment. My massage therapist was very nice, but being nice doesn't get the job done when you're paying specifically for a therapeutic deep tissue service. I asked multiple times for firmer pressure, yet for almost the entire two hours, it felt much more like a light Swedish massage than deep tissue work. I left feeling essentially no different than when I walked in. The gua sha add-on was also mediocre at best. I honestly couldn't tell what benefit I received from it, and it felt more like the tool was simply being moved around rather than being incorporated into meaningful therapeutic work. Considering I had paid $215, I left extremely frustrated. I still tipped my therapist because I appreciated her time and kindness, but the actual service was nowhere near what I expected. To her credit, she followed up with me by email afterward with aftercare instructions and asked how I was feeling. I gave her my honest feedback and explained that I didn't feel any improvement. I also said that if she wasn't comfortable or able to provide the level of firm pressure I needed, I wanted to speak with management and have the massage redone with someone who truly specializes in deep tissue work. This is where G Medical Spa redeemed itself. Management reached out, listened to my concerns, and scheduled a redo with Brad Evans. I genuinely want to thank management for listening to my feedback and making the experience right. They could have easily dismissed my concerns, but instead they took responsibility for my experience and gave me an opportunity to receive the service I originally expected. Brad absolutely killed it. THIS was the deep tissue massage I had originally expected. I had never booked with a male massage therapist before because I thought I might feel uncomfortable, but Brad was completely professional and made me feel safe and comfortable from beginning to end. He communicated with me throughout the massage about pressure and worked with me to find the right level of firmness, particularly in the areas where I was experiencing significant pain and tension. Instead of just going through the motions, we communicated throughout the session so he could actually address what my body needed. He provided the firm pressure I had originally requested while still making sure I was comfortable. I finally walked away feeling like I had received an actual therapeutic deep tissue massage and gotten the pain relief I was looking for. Brad was amazing, professional, attentive, and clearly skilled at deep tissue work. I tipped him well because he absolutely deserved it. I also want to mention that the front desk receptionist was friendly and welcoming during both of my visits. Even though I wasn't happy with my original massage, my interactions with the front desk were positive both times. While my initial experience would have resulted in a very negative review, I have to give G Medical Spa credit for how they handled my complaint. Businesses aren't always going to get everything right the first time. What matters to me is how they respond when a customer tells them something went wrong. Management listened, took my concerns seriously, and ultimately made the experience right. Thank you to management for taking care of me, and a huge thank you to Brad for completely changing my impression of G Medical Spa. If you're specifically looking for firm-pressure deep tissue work, I highly recommend requesting Brad Evans. I would absolutely book with him again.

I was driving down 7th street and decided to check this place out. Everytime I walk in I am always immediately greeted by the gentleman working the front desk right by the entrance. I usually asked for an hour massage but they have a few options. I usually decided on the 30/30, which gives you 30min body and 30min foot massage. I always pay up front which I am totally cool with and then I get guided to a private room to undress and get into a bed. Shortly after they come in and ask if you want the massage medium or hard...I of course ask for hard because that's how like my massages. I will say they are very good with giving you what you pay for if that includes time, products, and service all around. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, from the front desk with offering you the service and payment ls to the actual massage. I have been coming here religiously for years and anytime I have friends or family in town I make sure we stop by for a nice relaxing time. They also offer gift cards for beautiful gifts and don't worry about parking, tons of parking in an open lot. Hope you enjoy your visit as much as I always do. SYoY :)

We went to Lebua yesterday. I've been going for years, way before the Los Altos location opened…read more The online booking system is easy to use and makes scheduling an appointment convenient. One thing to know: arrive at least 5-10 minutes early because there's a second check-in process where you're asked to review a fairly detailed questionnaire, check boxes, and highlight areas you'd like the therapist to focus on. I appreciate this feature because it allows for a more customized experience. That said, if a spa is going to offer so many client preferences, it's important that those preferences are communicated clearly to the therapist and followed. I booked a deep tissue massage, which for me generally means more hands-on work. Instead, the session relied heavily on elbows and forearms, which felt more like a combo massage but with a 10$ surcharge. I had also specifically indicated that I did not want anyone walking on me during the massage that day, but that still happened. In addition, I had not requested hot stones. My therapist left the room briefly and returned with them. The stones were much too hot for my comfort, and when I mentioned it, she stopped immediately, so that was good. Everyone there was friendly, professional, and clearly wanted to provide a good experience. We tipped them well. My main concern is not with the staff themselves but with the disconnect between the preferences collected during check-in and what actually occurred during the treatment. If clients are asked to provide detailed information about what they do and don't want, those requests should be consistently honored. Otherwise, the questionnaire starts to feel more performative than useful and clients will become frustrated.

I've been a regular for at least a couple of years and will continue to be a faithful member. I've suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain for as long as I can remember. My search for relief took several years, including countless visits to chiropractors, orthopedists and massage therapists. Finding MELT changed my life! Sijai is a Godsend! Walking in for the first time, I was impressed with the relaxing aesthetics of the check in/waiting area. In a relaxing low-lit room, you are surrounded by the gentle sounds of a waterfall and the soft aroma-therapy scent. This is not the every-other massage business you find. Not only is the atmosphere conducive to the best relaxing and healing experience, the facility is absolutely spotless! You are led to one of the inviting treatment rooms and after discussing your problem areas, the magic happens! Select from one of the amazing aromatherapy oils and get ready to transcend into heaven. Sijai syncs to your needs and ensures the perfect pressure during your therapy. She's probably tired of hearing that her hands are "magic." She is magic! Sijai is so easy to engage with that she can soon become your therapist - someone to confide in. The business is named "MELT" because that is exactly what you will do at the end of the session...you will just melt into the massage table. Sijai devotes herself entirely to each appointment so BE SURE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT as walk ins are not accepted. Pick up the phone and call! Sijai is not going to interrupt a client's experience by responding to folks who show up without an appointment to schedule sessions and/or purchase gift cards.
