Wow, I am longer overdue for bodywork. A BIG thank you at Gabriel for addressing my areas of tension and concern. His attention to detail and ability to know what muscles to address was greatly appreciated. This truly was a therapeutic massage! read more

Booked a prenatal massage, something I was desperately looking forward to, and it was the worst massage experience I've had. It was 85 degrees outside, there was no AC in the room, she had the bed warmer on and a heavy blanket with just the window thrown open to all the lovely street noise. There was absolutely zero support for my belly or hips. I'm 6 months pregnant, this is a huge deal. I was obviously uncomfortable. The massage itself was horrible, and felt more like I was getting oil rubbed on me gently. I also don't know if she was sick, but the coughing and sniffing throughout the massage definitely had me even more tense. I was extremely let down by this whole experience, from start to finish, and would not recommend this place; at least to pregnant women. Will not be returning. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Richelle with no expectations. I was experiencing acute upper back pain and she was the first clinic to return my call. I was panicking about finding someone to relieve my pain before embarking on a physically challenging vacation in a few days. Richelle was enormously knowledgeable. She was patient and focused as she methodically massaged to the heart of my discomfort. She clearly has an understanding of human anatomy and the interconnection of each muscle. I get so frustrated with the new-agey vibe that often accompanies massage clinics. It's just not my thing but if I want a massage I have to muscle through the hippy dippy stuff. Richelle was refreshingly clinical and she got right to work. 90 minutes later I could hardly feel the pain that brought me to Richelle in the first place. I highly recommend Richelle from Self Balance Massage. The clinic isn't exactly a "spa" experience but, in this case, you can't judge a book by its cover. There is a little pearl hiding inside this brick building! read more

These folks have created such a comfortable and relaxing environment to receive a massage from exceptionally talented, professional, and warm therapists. You feel great afterward AND they give you a little piece of chocolate. Pretty wonderful. read more

I highly recommend Teresa at Self Balance. She also teaches massage as well as practice it. The hot stones are a must have.

Rachelle was amazing!!! She has great technique with good knowledge of the muscles and movement!!! Me and my wife went to her to get a massage and were both very pleased with her concern and dedication to helping us feel better. I would advise anyone who wants a great massage with somebody so caring and skilled to ask for Rachelle Gibson as your massage therapist!!! read more

I came in for the first time today feeling achy with a back full of knots. By the end of my hour long treatment Crystal's therapeutic touch was able to cure me of all my aches and pains. She is fantastic at what she does, and really brings a true talent to this company. The use of Do Terra products enhanced this experience as well. Wonderful massage. read more

A real massage by people who are actually trained well. Compare this to the other places in town (that we've tried) and there is no comparison. Not that you can't get a relaxing massage at those other places but those aren't REAL massages by people who know a whole lot about what they are doing nor studied the body and have experience enough to address tricky issues. This is a good place to go to get work done. read more

This was my first massage ever. I was nervous but they made me feel very relaxed both before and during the massage. I am definitely going to be going back. read more

Had a great massage and scheduled another. Sandy did a great job working my troubled areas. I highly recommend Self Balance Massage.

I have been searching for an excellent massage therapist for awhile now. I found her today! I left Self Balance Massage feeling amazing! I will be making this my new regular place to visit! read more

Met Kathy at the Columbia River Triathlon and had two 15 minute sessions where she did more for my legs and back than anybody has done in the past 5 years! Wish I had stayed in the area so I could book an hour or longer session with her! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely hands down the best massage I have ever had. The hot stones are marvelous. I was transformed to another place completely drooling. Teresa thank you so much for a long over needed treatment. I will definitely be back. read more

Every time Ive visited Self Balance ive always been greeted with a warm smile in a calming atmosphere. Ive always walked away feeling relaxed and rejuvinated. The music is always calming and all therapists do a stellar job. I will continue to have my massage needs met here! read more

I'd been working nights "Flagging" traffic. My whole body was sore. I came in and saw Tina (Harris). She listened to my reasons for coming in and started on working on my sore muscles. Oh my goodness, The relief I felt while she was massaging my back, shoulders and neck!! She used hot stones on me (which is my favorite). She was firm, but gentle and I nearly fell asleep it was so wonderful. I came out of there feeling like a new woman. What a wonderful session. Thank you Tina! I will be back! read more

I have been getting monthly-ish massages from Sandy for a couple of years now (I have followed her to three different locations!), and I am delighted to recommend her services. Sandy has a wonderful demeanor that makes you feel comfortable the minute you walk through the door. She's very accommodating to whatever your muscles need at any given time, and the massage itself is a perfect combination of healing and relaxing. I frequently have extremely tight muscles that Sandy is able to coax back to normal with a minimum of discomfort, both during the massage and the next day. And Sandy has made a believer out of me with the hot stones -- they truly feel like an adjunct to the therapy and not just a gimmick. Even though I was hesitant at first, now I look forward to them. When I visit Sandy, it's more like visiting an incredibly competent and caring friend than just a message therapist. I've seen a lot of massage therapists over the last 15 years, and I'm delighted to have someone like Sandy so close to me in Vancouver. I really recommend you make an appointment! read more
