I have had allot of expereince with physical pain as it relates to arthritis and soft tissue injury. I have two of my favorite massge therapists who do different things in terms of their expertise but it is always consistently awesome in terms of outcomes. The first massage therapists is Sara Dulany Aldrich. Here is her bio on the web page: 've studied the fine art of Ayurvedic massage, as well as Swedish and Deep tissue. I have been a professional massage therapist for 15 years. I hail from the great state of California. I have 3 beautiful children. I love the idea of helping people heal on a more physical level. I utilize all of my education to give my clients a massage that will ease their pain, improve circulation and reduce stress. The benefits are endless. I am honored to work with such an amazing group :) Sara is an incredible deep tissue therapists that will not hurt you but is very sensitive to how to work with whatever issues you are dealing with. She is my go to when it comes to my stress and sugar management because I am a Type 2 Diabetic. The second therapists is not for ther faint of heart but if you have deep chronic issues he is your man. His name is Viktor. here is his bio from the web page: I have 2 degrees in the field of massage, Russian and American, and years of massage experience. One can boast and talk about oneself often, but it's better to try my massage once, and your body will tell you everything. After all, the body doesn't lie! I will actively work through every muscle in your body and help your muscles regain elasticity, gain mobility in your joints, and relieve pain and discomfort. In addition to general massage I can also work with a separate part of your body where there is a problem to relieve you of pain or reduce pain. I enjoy using massage to help your body get rid of problems. I'm always happy when I can help your body. My last two sessions have been with Viktor and he has helped me with some chronic pain management. The entire staff here is warm and welcoming and I simply so appreciate what they do to help others. One last thought, I always like to support businesses that give back to the community. In 2020 I was the Pastor of a Church in Placerville that helped house people displaced from the Caldor Fire. The staff at this center helped at our center and they were partners in seeing families receive the help that they needed. They serve with their Head, Heart, and Hands! read more

My stepmom booked a full body massage here for my boyfriend and I while we were visiting for the holiday weekend. When we got there, we filled out intake forms and were given warm weighted neck pillows while we waited. On the form, we were able to indicate if we had pain or an area we wanted to focus on. We could also mark areas that we didn't want touched. The waiting area is super comfortable - it's warm, smells nice, and is clean and cozy. When we started, we were taken into separate rooms. The practitioner I was with was very gentle, checked in to make sure nothing hurt, and was very thoughtful overall. This was actually my first time getting a professional massage like this and it was a wonderful first experience. I was comfortable the whole time and felt that if I needed to let the practitioner know if something didn't feel good, I could do that. At the end, the practitioner offered me some cold water which was super refreshing after the massage. Absolutely recommend coming here for any sort of pain or soreness that massage could relieve or even just a nice relaxing self-care treat. read more

I would say that I have the best massage I've ever had! I don't think I've ever gotten a true full body massage before. Jeff was amazing. he listened to what I needed and showed true professionalism. Definitely going back. read more

The Lomi Lomi massage is so wonderful. Deep tissue without aggravating your muscles. Relaxing and therapeutic. Truly one of the better massages I've had, highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I recently had one of the best massages of my life with Kristi. After relocating to the area due to evacuation from the Los Angeles fires, my body was in desperate need of care. From the moment I called to book my appointment, I was met with genuine warmth and kindness, which set the tone for the entire experience. Kristi was exactly the therapist I needed--attentive, intuitive, and incredibly skilled. I left feeling renewed and can't wait to return. I've already scheduled an appointment for my husband and will be sending the rest of my family her way! read more

I've been going to Transformational Wellness for 3-4 years now. We book massages for 4 people yearly after we make our way off the Rubicon Trail! Off-roading requires some pampering after an intense couple of days bouncing around in our Broncos ! Additionally, I book my own personal massages with Victor (sorry is my spelling of wrong). Victor is TRULY gifted and talented. He is extremely professional with draping and his actual massage. I feel safe with him as you can tell that Victor goes above and beyond to open knots and release any lymphatic fluid while giving the best possible massage. Victor is absolutely gifted with deep tissue massages, I've never asked him to reduce pressure, but he checks in often should I need him to back off a bit which I appreciate. My brother in law requests Mary for each yearly massage and then we've been blessed with a few other gifted and talented massage therapists. I highly recommend Transformational Wellness. read more

I had amber for a 60 min therapeutic massage and she was amazing!! Very professional and sweet even gave me extra time on my massage for some deep tissue. I will be coming back, can't recommend this place more! Amazing place and great staff read more

I had a 2-hour Sports Massage with Viktor, which was everything I needed. If you are looking for someone to get your Knots out and have you walk away as a NEW PERSON!! He's your man. I was definitely sore after the massage but, to me, that's a job well done! He's incredible and worth every penny - you might as well buy the 4-Pack Sports Massage now to save money and your body. read more

Just say yes to this place! I've had many massages from different kinds of places, but let me tell you something, the treatment I received from Rhonda, was exceptional. She was so so so thorough, kind and attentive. I have never had a massage that felt so genuine and felt like it was filled with legitimate loving touch. I absolutely loved the questionnaire that I was asked to fill out, as it helped me explain what I was looking for from my experience. I also think that for the price of their services it is a steal compared to other places where the service is subpar and expensive. Give yourself a break and self love and schedule here. read more

BAD business Practices/ GOOD massage: After being referred here, I was excited to hopefully get some much needed body work. My experience was unfortunately not great.. I called to schedule an appointment, while doing so, I clearly expressed my needs for lymphatic drainage body work on a recent injury, which is a specialized modality of work. I was told that they have a wonderful therapist that specializes in that, and requested to see her. I showed up for my scheduled appointment, only to find out the scheduling person wrongly put me on the wrong day. " Oh, I'm sorry it looks like your scheduled tomorrow with Christian", I was told by the person at the front desk. After explaining to here that it was supposed to be with the other therapist that specializes in the specific modality. She had to call the therapist to make sure "he" can do that. After verifying that this other therapist could also do this work I was OK with that. Unfortunately, I have now had to change my schedule around for two days to accommodate their mess up. I understand that mistakes happen, and could over look this as long as the appointment went as scheduled. The therapist was great and went over my needs prior to getting on the table. However, after the massage the front end lady taking payment wanted quite a bit more money for the massage than was quoted on the phone. She tried explaining that my massage was more for the modality I requested. Which I know for a fact I had already went over while scheduling on the phone, and a second time the prior day when I showed up my my originally scheduled appointment. Why this wasn't explained prior to my appointment, in which there were two clear opportunities to do so, I don't know. Since this place only accepts cash, (which seems a little sketchy to me, and possibly tax fraud happening) I only brought enough cash for the quoted amount only and enough for a tip. After what was a great massage by the therapist, this whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth and made me feeling very uncomfortable after my massage. I the end I believe the massage therapist was great and very professional. However, this office can definitely use better management and work on their business practices which has now cost them a customer that frequently gets body work done. read more

I've been getting massages for over 40 years and when we moved up to Placerville last Fall, I was searching for a good massage therapist and my husband found Transformational Awareness and it's one of the best I've ever experienced. After the move, my body was so in need of a really good massage and Rhonda was available and was absolutely excellent and just what I needed. I've continued to be her client. The massage prices are very reasonable. I like to try to have a monthly, hour and a half massage if possible, and plan to have an extra one a month if I can for a little extra "pampering" that my body needs, especially after a performance (I'm a musician, singer/songwriter and performer and some venues in town and in the Sacramento region. I know they offer other services so I'd suggest checking out their website to see what they offer. For ease of reference their website is: https://www.transformationalwellness2692.com/ Phone: 530-621-2420 Tanya, and the owner, and the whole staff are excellent, as are all the massage therapists. The atmosphere in their warm inviting comfortable beautiful Victorian-like house, that has numerous lovely massage rooms, is so relaxing and welcoming, as soon as i walk through the door - i instantly feel serene I highly recommend this center and their fabulous, professional and highly trained massage therapists and staff! read more

I have seen Sara @ Transformational Wellness 4 times now. I was referred by my Aunt who was also seeing her. Immediately after my first visit (60min session) in April I booked for my next session & I doubled down on the time. Because what is better than 1 hour of truly intuitive, therapeutic relaxation than 2 hours?! I find myself struggling to stay awake because I want to be aware of every moment. The site is clean, relaxing & comfortable. All of the Team Members I have met are friendly, courteous & very respectful of your individual needs. I highly recommend Transformational Wellness! read more

I loved my couples massage. But I didn't know until we arrived that our masseuses weren't vaccinated. We asked only because we had just had a massage in Southern California where we knew everyone was vaccinated, company policy, and still were required to wear masks. That reassured us that they took this seriously (we're triple vaccinated.) but at this place, they were completely cavalier about it. At least one masseuse was unvaccinated and didn't know how to wear a mask. When we went to pay, two people were in the pay area indoors without masks. I had a perfect massage but their attitude is not supported by science. I won't be back until they require vaccination and masks. Do your crystals all you want. read more

My wife brought me here for Valentine's Day for couples massage. Great experience! Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, robes, awesome!!!!! I Went back today for some body work. Deep tissue, shiatsu, stretching and relaxation today. I saw Mary again. She's hands down one of the best massage therapists I've ever had work on me. If your looking for and calm and relaxing location with highly intuitive body workers, I can absolutely recommend this place. read more

Wonderful massage. I have been looking for a new massage place since moving up to Placerville a few months ago, and it was so happy to find this place. I got a massage from I believe her name is Amber. And she was so sweet and professional and her skill was off the charts. I felt so relaxed and the pain I was feeling in my neck is gone. Thank you so much. read more
