Had a fantastic massage! I love great massages where you feel noticeably taller afterwards. Like all the tightness has left and the body can move fully! Highly recommend and will go again! read more

Booked a much needed, last minute massage with Bernie at 39 weeks pregnant. The whole experience was great from start to finish. Bernie has a very warm and welcoming personality that made me comfortable from the get go. During the massage, she made sure to check in with me about the pressure and how I was doing and she worked out a lot of the tension I had in my shoulders and back. I can't wait to book a postpartum massage with her! read more

Absolutely loved my prenatal massage with Bernie at 38 weeks pregnant! She was incredibly personable and made me feel at ease right away. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions to ensure I was completely comfortable throughout, and the whole experience was deeply relaxing. I left feeling both physically and emotionally cared for--highly recommend her to any expecting mama! read more

If I could, I would give The Massage Mesa 10 stars. Bernie is extremely sweet, knowledgeable, listens and professional. I'm a returning customer who used to go quite frequently a few years ago. I had my first appointment about two weeks ago and I cannot wait until my next appointment. The ambiance was amazing, the massage was WELL NEEDED and it was great seeing her again. I had some trouble spots in my neck and middle back and after the deep tissue massage, I was able to do my planks and exercise again. If you have any muscle/tissue problems, I would recommend her as she knows her anatomy. All I can say is: Schedule an appointment with her, you will not regret it! read more

Bernadette is amazing! I don't usually get massages but a back strain injury brought me in. She really cared about easing the pain and it was not just helpful but also informative. Definitely recommend. read more

Bernie is hands down (ha!) the best massage therapist I've ever had the privilege to work with. I have been seeing her regularly for several years. She is both intuitive - finding spots that are tight that I didn't even realize - and excellent at listening to what I think we should work on. I really appreciate her very flexible and patient-centric way of working. Sometimes we start with me laying on my side or working on a specific joint or do something besides the traditional deep tissue pressure and I know that she's got an encyclopedia of knowledge to help figure out why a muscle is acting up or why a joint is sore. I have recommended her to everyone I know personally, so I hope this helps all the internet strangers out there to trust her as well! read more

I have had many massages throughout the bay area in various places I have lived over several decades. I can definitively say with complete confidence that Bernie is my favorite massage therapist. At this stage of my life, I have some chronic issues I need help with. I'd really lost hope in using massage therapy as a way to resolve these issues. But my acupuncturist recommended Bernie. And after one massage I knew she was right - - that Bernie could actually help me relieve pain and undo patterns so that my body could heal. My body is healing and my pain is improving so much. I highly recommend Bernie. I know this year I'll be buying multiple massage packages from her and seeing her regularly, because I have experienced the benefit of her work. Don't hesitate, just book her! read more

Bernadette is wonderful. She is well qualified in her field. She does a lymphatic and regular massage combination for me. I leave relaxed after each appointment with her. I highly recommend Bernadette's services. read more

I've had so many massages in my life, many at expensive resorts, but nothing is as good as this. I have pain daily (due to a stroke and bad back) and Bernadette has been the only one to diminish it with a single session, and overtime, reduce it even further. Bernadette is simply amazing! read more

Bernie is an amazing massage therapist. She was recommended by two friends. I am very particular about massage therapists and before Bernie, there were only two others that were acceptable to me. She always checks in with "how are you feeling today" regarding pain, tightness, etc. She is always aware and checking during the massage how you are doing, "is this too much," etc. In addition to being an excellent massage therapist, she runs a great business. She is always on time, sends reminders before appointments, makes it very easy to book, and so on. I highly recommend Massage Mesa and Bernadette Escoto. I would give her ten stars if I could. read more

Bernadette has been working on my left hip and thigh where I had surgery. Every week I see improvement. Thank you Bernadette!

Bernadette is truly amazing. I had surgery on my right chest and under arm. Because it was during COVID, it was hard to get a in person PT appointment. 2 years later, my range of motion isn't where it suppose to be. I decided to see Bernadette for a massage session and have to say it's one of the best I've had. She's gentle yet very thorough... and strong. By gentle I mean... she cares about your comfort level and pain threshold. She makes sure that the entire time if she needs to reduce pressure or increase. She ask questions in order to service you correctly. Most places just wants to book you, get you in and out. Bernadette will also suggest some at home exercise to help the problem areas and there is no pressure to book a future appointment... but trust me, you will want to! thanks Bernie ! read more

Massages with Bernie helped me survive my 3rd trimester. I had sciatica and carpal tunnel along with all the other aches and pains of pregnancy. She was so skilled at relieving my pain. My only regret is that I didn't start these sessions earlier. I will definitely be coming back for post natal massages. As an aside - she is very busy and almost always booked so I'd book all appointments well in advance. I waited to leave this review until after my pre-natal seasons bc I didn't want any more people taking appointment slots ;) read more

I am so happy I found Bernie. She actually has helped me and got to some of the spots I couldn't find help with from other "massage therapists". It's hard to find someone like her nowadays around here. She actually got in there and pulled stuff out. I am grateful for her and the help I have received. I will be back read more

I went in today for a prenatal massage and loved it, Bernie was super sweet and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process, the massage was super relaxing perfect pressure will definitely be back and I will be sending my preggo friends to her. THANK YOU! read more

I've had a few massages with Bernie, including both prenatal and postnatal, and have always enjoyed my experience! She's super nice, considerate, and asks you questions to ensure that you're comfortable. Her prices are very reasonable and she also offers package deals. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a massage, especially those who are expecting. read more

Bernie is so kind and knowledgable. I really enjoyed my lymphatic massage. You could actually feel the massage working while I was on her massage table. Bernie's room is spacious and calming. Highly recommend read more

Bernie is awesome! I was recommend by my friend and I'm so happy I made an appointment to see her. I have been looking for a massage therapist that will help with my lower back pain. I've gone to relaxing massage salons and massage therapist at a chiropractor clinic and none have helped with my pain. I left some of these salons feeling a lot of discomfort to uncomfortable pain. I thought getting a prenatal-post natal massage might be the next best option. I reached out to Bernie via her website. Within the hour, I received a text from Bernie offering to be seen that same day. Unfortunately I wasn't available and I didn't get to see her till weeks after. However, Bernie reached out if she happened to have an opening. This was greatly appreciated and shows she remembered our conversation. On my first visit, I arrived really early as I didn't know exactly where her place was located. It is inside an acupuncture clinic. The acupuncturist who greeted me was friendly. He let me know I was at the right spot and Bernie wasn't in yet. He offered me water while I waited for Bernie. I filled out an intake form while Bernie set up the room. There is a restroom located at the back of the clinic. The massage room was cozy. Bernie explained to me what she will be working on and how it benefits my body. She asked throughout the session if her pressure was too light or too much. The Spotify playlist she used was awesome. It wasn't the typical water or calming music, it was harps. But the harpist was playing pop-modern songs. I thought it was my mind/ears playing a trick on me when I recognized the songs. It wasn't until All of Me by John Legend played that I asked Bernie. I learned something new and now have a new playlist to listen too. The walls are on the thin side. There might be some people who would hear the acupuncturist and his patient next door but it didn't bother me. I don't fall asleep during massages. For others who do, you might not be able too. Bernie's website has her availability calendar which is very convenient. I have my next appointment already scheduled with her. For my next appointment, Bernie informed me she will try different methods. I felt great after my massage. I did feel lower back discomfort after but not as bad from previous massages. I look forward to my next massage. read more

I've been a massage therapist for 31 years and Bernie gives an excellent massage. She gauges the pressure to your level of comfort and finds the problem areas that need work, not a cookie cutter relaxing massage. read more

Bernie was very attentive and a gave a very thorough and relaxing massage. She was pleasant, prompt, and very professional. I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and feel so much better now after my appointment. I highly recommend her! read more

Bernie is amazing! She does such a great job every time she works on me. She takes all of my needs and concerns into consideration. She's very kind, genuine and thoughtful. Her room is always sanitary and welcoming. Her professionalism is stellar. I feel so refreshed after every session. I will definitely be a lifelong client! read more

As a nurse, my line of work tends to be moreso physically demanding. My body was begging me for some relief to my achey muscles. I looked into various masseuses and their accompanying reviews. I really liked what I read about Bernie, and decided to give her a try. She is so sweet, easy-going and personable that I felt very comfortable from the start. The room is kept cleanly with a relaxing ambiance. After my first session with her, my body felt phenomenal. A lot of my muscular tension and pain subsided. - More recently, I came to see her for some problem areas, (my lower back and calf), and she exceeded my expectations of providing me with some relief. She spent a lot of time targeting the areas that needed some help with various techniques, and pressure tailored to my comfort level. I didnt realize how much some of my knotted areas had been affecting my posture until afterwards. I even felt plantar foot pain relief following her targeting my calves. :) I will definitely be back. Some added points to love : Bernie always listens to and has respect for her clients. She seems to really care about improving someones quality of life, and she really listens to client's body as she is massaging. Very intelligent and savvy on anatomy. Also located on a nice side of town to venture to for a little escape. read more

Bernie takes all your cares away. She specializes in prenatal which is hard to find and even harder to not be over priced! She said s trained in multiple styles, when she does a day of stretching massage you want to be there! So great. read more

I would definately get another massage! Very knowledgeable and professional in her work. Would recommend anyone looking for a great massage.

Bernadette has some great hands! And she was able to let me know what she felt. Amazing! I will definitely recommend anyone to go see her if you have any problems with pain. read more

Went to this massage establishment for a an injury to the shoulder. Was hesitant at first since I saw that Bernie (the owner) specialized in prenatal. I was quite positive that I was of the wrong gender to begin with but I was in a rush and I need a solution immediately. Boy was I wrong! Something about the motherly attention that was given to the injury site as well as to the related muscle groups that slowly convinced me. I'm a personal trainer and cross fitter, and thus I'm quite critical of professionals who may not know their stuff. However Bernie had a way of finding the muscle(s) that were affected and making them new again surprised me with her touch. She was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Definitely would come back! read more

This was my first prenatal massage and Bernie was fantastic! She was very attentive, kind, and professional, and I felt so relaxed and wonderful at the end. Highly recommend to any pregnant mamas or non-pregnant people looking for an amazing massage! read more

Bernie is kind, found my tough spots with ease and was very open and asking to anywhere that needed attention. In the midst of my third trimester, I feel great relief after my session as well as knowing who I can count on in the future. Thank you!!!! read more

Bernie is an amazing masseur. I had a 60 min prenatal massage session and I felt like heaven. Bernie was so nice and such a good listener. She constantly checked on me to see if the pressure she applied was okay for me. I love the hand massage and the head/neck massage. read more

I just walked out of an amazing 90 minute deep tissue massage with Bernadette! It was heavenly! The pressure was great. I feel super relaxed and the tightness I was feeling is alleviated. It's exactly what I was needing! This is my second time here and it was better than the first. Massage Mesa is now my go to place for massages! Im so excited that I finally found someone to help me maintain regular self care and "me time". read more

I found Massage Mesa after I had a botched perinatal massage from someone else. Bernie is fantastic. Frequently checking how I'm handling pressure, making sure I'm comfortable (hard to find a good position when there's someone doing somersaults in your tummy), finding the tension in my muscles and working through them meticulously. I've since convinced my husband to buy me her package deal for Christmas because I completely trust her to find all the sore spots and work them out. After one session I feel like I walked out noticeably taller, I think I was hunching for weeks before that session. I bought a session for my mother in law who was complaining of shoulder pain, she loved the massage, wants to keep coming back anytime she is in town. The last session I had with her a couple days ago, I had this intense tightness in my right shoulder. She did not give up on it, tried out multiple ways and placed my arm in various positions to really work the deeper muscles that are hard to reach from my backside. And it worked! I got my range of motion back from that shoulder. Will be coming back to her indefinitely. read more

I had a really great massage here. Bernie was very professional. The pressure is right. My back pain was alleviated. Would definitely recommend friends here! read more

Bernie is a true healer in her work!!! I had reoccurring fatigue in my calve muscles. She walked me through what her plan to address my issue was. She checked with me if the pressure applied was too little or too much. After a few sessions with her, I was told by my wife that I no longer walked on my tippy toes. I had no idea that this was correctable with massage therapy!!! Amazing work, Bernie!!! Looking forward to more appointments with you! read more

I just had a baby 4 months ago and my back was killing me from carrying my little boy. I came for a treatment and immediately found relief! I'm so grateful and booked a second one as soon as I left. They take covid very seriously here, the owner is very kind. The establishment has a good energy. I highly recommend if you are looking for a quality massage of any kind, especially since self care is so important! read more

I had my first massage with Bernie yesterday, and I was in seventh heaven. Deep and very relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered. I can't wait to go back for more. read more

First time here and Bernie was FAB!! Listened to my needs, checked in on pressure and comfort, provided a top tier experience. Will def go back again. Ive been suffering with neck and shoulder pain (due to stress, desk work .. life !). I can't wait to wake up tomorrow. I'm feeling so great now. Can't say enough good things. A++ thank you so much. read more

Bernie and Josh are absolutely amazing! I saw Bernie throughout my pregnancy for prenatal massage, and we've done couples massages a few times. They are professional, caring, and so so good at finding and releasing tension everywhere you didn't even realize you were holding it! read more
