Lounge area

Resonance exceeded my expectations. The ambiance of the spa was calming and beautifully decorated. It was the best facial I have ever received. Every aspect of the treatment was a delight for my face. I left with an incredible glow and my skin was incredibly soft!

We all need a little chill in our lives so I thought I would get a massage. I've walked passed this place many times and it looks like a store. You would never know it opens up into a chic spa. I would say the appointment process was simple. I didn't have a menu but instead I was described what was offered for the days I would be available. I must have misunderstood because I thought I was getting a massage with the "quiet mind" option. I arrived for my appointment and was escorted to the locker room to get changed. It's a beautiful space with warm tones of color and dim lights. I loved that I was the only person using the space and felt comfortable. I waited in a comfortable seating area until my service. I met Miriam and she walked me to the treatment room. It was a comfortable room but I couldn't relax because I could hear chatter coming from another space the entire treatment. I also was annoyed that the treatment was mostly me laying on the table with acupuncture needles on my feet and oil dripping down my head for $180. I didn't get a massage. This is in no reflecting of Miriam and her service. So while the space is nice, the menu prices seem pretentious for the service. I don't think I will return again but I'm glad to have tried it.

Bad customer service. They've changed things around and added a new manager who is not knowledgeable and has a rude and dismissive demeanor.

Treated myself to some R&R at ResonanceMarin. The masseuses worked out all my knots and the vibe was straight zen and just what I needed!

Is clothing optional? It my computer says so?

Not generally, but for certain treatments, like massage, or when you’re in the sauna by yourself I think clothing is optional. The rest the time you’re either in a robe or fully clothed.

I was in the area and have been ignoring a lower back pain for a week. I decided to drop in for a…read morequick massage. There are flyers with prices as soon as you walk in so there are no surprises. By the way, the prices can't be beat! I was welcomed at the front door and was asked to call a number to secure an appointment. I suggest calling the number if you have questions or need to communicate accommodations since the person on-site was not fluent in English. You can book massages, Accupuncture, and cupping. I ended up booking a therapeutic massage for 90 minutes at $160. This is a great price considering local places can charge upwards of $300. I knew this was going to be a simple and no frills experience. There is no sauna, relaxation room, or fancy spa additions. The credit card machine was broken so cash was requested. I booked by appointment using the phone number, hit the atm, and then made it back for my appointment. There are three tables sectioned off by walls and a sliding door. There was no one in the space besides the two of us. If there were others, you would probably hear them. The towel laid out on the table was very old. That is my only complaint. The massage was great and I had every knot worked out during this session. This masseuse worked diligently to get into my muscles. If you need a deep tissue massage, this is the spot. The time flew by quickly. Again, this is a simple place to get a massage and be on your way. I'll be back again! Pro tip: I suggest bringing headphones if you want to listen to music. Otherwise, you'll hear the restaurant noise next door.

I rarely write reviews, but after my horrific experience at The Bodywise Massage Inc. (1435 4th…read moreStreet Suite F, San Rafael, CA), owned by Tobi Lessem, I feel compelled to warn others. If you're seeking a place for relaxation, healing, or even basic professionalism, steer clear of this establishment. Tobi's incompetence, condescension, and outright dismissal of customer needs turned what should have been a restorative birthday treat into an emotional disaster. I'll detail exactly what happened so you can see why no one should ever trust her or her business with their well-being. In February, I texted Tobi to book a 2-hour massage for my birthday, which I treat myself to annually as a form of self-care. This year was particularly tough; I'd lost two incredibly close women in my life, leaving me in deep mourning, emotionally heavy, and profoundly vulnerable. I was counting on this session to help process that grief through therapeutic touch. Tobi confirmed the 2-hour booking via text, so I arrived excited for some much needed relief. The masseuse was a bit late, but she got me settled quickly, and we began. About an hour in, while I was face down, fully immersed in the massage, feeling those pent-up emotions finally starting to release, there was a sudden knock at the door. The masseuse stepped out, spoke briefly with Tobi, and returned to inform me that my session was over because the next client had arrived. Stunned, I reminded her of my 2-hour booking and offered to show proof from my texts. She stepped out again to relay this to Tobi, only to come back insisting it was just a 1-hour slot and I had to leave immediately. I was furious. Being yanked out of that vulnerable, healing state mid-session felt like a violent interruption to my emotional process. I got dressed and confronted Tobi in the lobby. I explained the booking error and showed her our text exchange proving the 2-hour booking. Even the other client, a gentleman who'd been double-booked over my time, overheard our conversation and graciously offered to reschedule, saying, "I'm sorry, it's your birthday, I don't want to interrupt that." But it was too late; Tobi had already forced me off the table and out of the room. Tobi acknowledged her mistake in booking me for only 1 hour instead of 2, but her response was shockingly condescending. She dismissed my concerns, saying she "had to make the call" and would prioritize the other client, essentially telling me to she didn't care. When I expressed how deeply disappointed and hurt I was, especially given my personal circumstances, she had the audacity to retort, "If this is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you're lucky." Appalling doesn't begin to describe it. Here I was, raw and exposed, and she minimized my pain with a flippant remark that showed zero empathy. Later, Tobi sent a follow-up email that only compounded the insult. I've attached a copy here so you can see her mindset in her own words. Read that again: "We are not interested in good customer service." She openly admits her business prioritizes some vague "community" notion over basic respect for paying clients. She assumed the other client's "medical massage" needs trumped mine without knowing anything about my own emotional and physical state, as if grief and vulnerability aren't valid reasons for care. I paid for the full hour I received, but the damage was done: my birthday self-care ritual was ruined, and I left feeling more broken than when I arrived. This isn't just a simple scheduling mix-up; it's a glaring display of arrogance, poor management, and a complete lack of accountability. Tobi's actions show she values her own judgment over evidence (like text proof) and client feelings. In a field like massage therapy, where trust and sensitivity are paramount, this level of disregard is dangerous. Psychologically, interrupting a session mid-flow can exacerbate emotional distress, turning a healing space into a traumatic one. If she treats vulnerable clients this way, imagine how she'd handle yours. Do not give Tobi Lessem or The Bodywise Massage Inc. your time, money, or trust. There are plenty of compassionate, competent massage therapists in San Rafael who actually care about their clients. Save yourself the heartbreak, avoid this place entirely. 1 star, and that's generous.

For $55 I got a foot and body combo. This could become my second home. No need to sell the family farm for a decent massage. There were big puffy chairs and I got my feet soaked while my masseuse gave me a scalp massage. The style is Chinese and the pressure was perfect. I love a massage that doesn't require you to undress. This was absolutely amazing. They do have some back rooms with tables for an oil massage, but honestly, this was great. They had 4 masseuses working. All of them looked good. They all seemed solid. I can't wait to return with my husband. Lisa was my masseuse and Kathy the woman at the front desk were both wonderful!

I reserved 1 1/2 hour body massage but they thought I'd asked for a foot massage. When I arrived, I corrected that miscommunication so they very quickly set up one of their rooms for me. Unfortunately, it seemed like the practitioner didn't know what she was doing. She grazed over tight, painful areas and rubbed over and over (and over) my body in areas that didn't need addressing. It seemed like she was repeating moves that she thought were therapeutic to run out the clock. They did not feel good. She did respond to my requests but after a while I just sat up and stopped the session. I spoke to reception and let them know but I can't tell how much they understood that I had such a terrible experience. I said I would pay but she offered not discount or apology.
