My wife scrambled online to find me a highly rated massage therapist with next day availability and that's how she found Rebecca. I opted for the 60 min/cupping as I have never done it before so I was real excited. She briefly talked about the procedure and 10-15 mins into the massage she applied the cups with the right amount of suction. It was a little strange but not uncomfortable. She kept those cups on while she worked on my legs and feet. She definitely hit some spots I didn't know I needed. Ultimately I walked outta there feeling great. I don't have a regular massage therapist, but I'd like to be a repeat customer. Thanks again Rebecca! Btw her dog is real sweet!

Have mostly had positive experiences here except for my most recent one that really didn't leave a great taste in my mouth - I came at the end of the day with an appointment. I showed up on time but they ran late and I waited 15-20 minutes to get started. Then my masseuse seemed upset that my massage was going to run late and seemed to rush through it. She also only gave me a 50 minute massage when I paid for an hour, and spent multiple chunks of time stepping out / talking to others out in the hall. Because of this most recent experience I am not sure if I will be coming back. They do offer couples massages as well. I recommend making an appointment in advance especially for peak times like weekends and Friday nights, since they can fill up.

Regarding Who Needs This Place:…read more I have 3 trigger points that are impossible to get other places to hit effectively. Levator, Piriformis, and Lateral Gastrocnemius. All on the right side. This is the ONLY place I've found that was willing to work these. Regarding Some Culture Shock: This is NOT a place for everyone! The culture difference is a bit jarring when it comes to tipping but they are advertising lower prices that seem under the market from my experience. Getting past that made the rest is worth it. Because they were also willing to work on spots other places culturally struggled with. Regard Deep Trigger Points: If you've got some DEEP trigger points and need SINGLE HEAL WITH FULL BODY WEIGHT driven sharply into a single spot to get the trigger point loose then THIS is your place! Tina walked on me for 2 hours. She dug heals into those really hard to hit places that nobody else is even willing to try. Again cultural difference. I've not had a massage this good in DECADES! The funny parts was that she was NOT shy about asking for a larger tip but here is the thing... I've spent more on massages that were nowhere near this effective at breaking a trigger point. So I think these folks are undercharging and I didn't mind paying what I consider "over the top" (based on percentage) for a gratuity. If you go in planning to pay more than they advertise it feels safe to also push them to REALLY dig into those spots that you really need worked! So it was a fare trade IMO. Regarding the Procedure: They cover you in a thin blanket and walk on you (no oils - but seemed like it might be option). There are some roof mounted hand rails for them to keep balanced. Tina complained about how hard it was to work on me (this would probably turn some people away but I think it's a cultural thing - considered unprofessional by American Expectations so it's awkward). She said nobody has ever asked for heals in the calves or glutes before and she pushed for higher gratuity based on how hard she had to work. Here is the catch. I've seen this before but the massage was NEVER this good so I didn't like it. This time? The massage was UNBELIEVABLE. She can complain all she wants at that point. Apparently I'm the only customer they have had that asked for this kind of deep trigger point work. She said most only let them work those spots by by hand, never full body weight with heals. Regardless I'm coming back. Will add this to my monthly routine (Been getting my hair cut at Sunny Day right across the parking lot for the last 20 years). The cultural gratuity weirdness (in this very rare case) was totally worth it.

okay. I always loved massages but Thainamic is a COMPLETELY different experience. it isn't a time to relax and decompress but you can really feel a difference in your everyday life. i've been to almost every therapist on the Thainamic team and I can't even say that there are any favorites because they are all AMAZING and every experience has been great. I go at least every month because I know it works wonders on my body and I really think EVERYONE needs to try it for themselves. back pain, muscle pain, spasms, you name it- they fix it. if you're considering going to them, don't think any harder. just go, you won't regret it. read more

Huge fan of Thainamic! I've seen all the therapists- the all perform bodywork, thai massage, cupping, and Swedish amazingly. But each therapist has a speciality. Allan is my go to if I want electrotherapy style cups to stimulate inactive muscles, Jasmine is my girl if my muscles are tight and I need a deep massage, Vero takes care of my ta-tas (post BA and my pocket closed up- she breaks up built up scar tissue), and Shompoo performs a killer Thai massage. I also go to Claire for my lashes. Can't rave enough about the place- No wonder they won San Diego's best massage! read more

I have some long term sports injuries/traumas that have hardened up in my older age (thanks to my invincible younger self!) and her ability to dig in to those as deeply as they need without anything snapping back through the movements is testament to how well she understands pressure modulation and control of the body. I have had found great massage therapists over the last twenty to thirty years and she is absolutely the best I have found. In short, I'm a big fan and I will be keeping regular visits as part of my healing journey!

Amy is a Rare Combination of Skill, Professionalism, and Genuine Care…read more After my appointment with Amy at Kindness Massage, I felt compelled to share my experience because exceptional people deserve to be recognized. As a disabled Army Veteran living with multiple service-connected injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and knees, I've worked with a lot of massage therapists over the years. Relief isn't a luxury for me--it's what allows me to keep working, serving others, and maintaining some quality of life. Amy immediately stood out. She took the time to listen, understand what was going on with my body, and tailor the session to what I actually needed instead of using the same routine on everyone. Her knowledge of the body, attention to detail, and ability to find problem areas were impressive. You can tell this isn't just a job to her--it's a profession she's invested years into mastering. What impressed me even more was her professionalism and genuine compassion. She made me feel comfortable from beginning to end and treated me like a person, not just another appointment on the schedule. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, carrying stress from work, or you simply want to take better care of yourself, I would absolutely recommend Amy. She works with people from all walks of life and has the skill set to adjust her techniques to your individual needs. In my opinion, businesses with integrity and professionals who truly care about helping people deserve to be supported. Amy has earned my respect, and she's definitely someone I'll be seeing again. If you're in the San Diego area and have been searching for a massage therapist who combines experience, professionalism, and genuine kindness, you've found her. Thank you, Amy, for helping me get back on my feet today. I sincerely appreciate what you do. Highly recommended. Five stars.
