Wendy's treatment goes above and beyond just my bi-weekly appointments. She gives great advice on what can be done in my day-to-day life to help minimize my chronic back and neck pain. I feel that she's always looking out for her patients and wants what is best for them. An added bonus is she's so fun to talk with! I always look forward to my visits with her.

I got a massage from Tara recently, but it was at the Vital Energy Center in Capitol Hill instead…read moreof this location. I tend to keep a lot of tension in my back, so I try to get in for massages as much as possible. Tara was intuitive and seemed to work a lot with pressure points. The energy in the beginning of the massage felt calm but intense; kind of like forming the intention of creating the space as a healing space. For about 10-20 minutes I was in the "This is nice, but I'm not sure if this is the style for me" space. About halfway through my hour, however, I realized that I had gotten into the state where I'm possibly asleep but feel more like I'm just so relaxed that I'm conscious but only coherent every once in a while. That tends to mean that I am VERY relaxed, and... well... I kind of love that. My back felt wonderful when I left, and the only soreness I experienced was from where she had worked on my chest (and that's just because it's very tight and I don't think it's gotten enough attention in the past). Tara recommended a stretch that should help loosen that up. I felt like my way home was something of a spiritual experience. Every time I get a massage like this I start really looking forward to finally finishing my degree and having a decent income again!

I need a massage therapist who can do deep tissue like they mean it and that is Tara. She seems to have a talent for just knowing where the knots and problem areas are and working on them until you feel like you're in a completely different body. She is very professional, knows what she is doing, explains what she's doing thoroughly, asks all the right questions, and also has great hours and introductory deals to give her a try. Oh and the office is super cute, tidy, clean and relaxing. Can't wait for my next appointment. Oh and she takes insurance including Aetna, but you can pay for an add on half hour if you want to go longer and have her work on parts of your body that are not being treated (on insurance).

A long overdue review in praise of Ellen's deeply intuitive and healing massage…read more I have dealt with Ménière's disease for over 10 years and Ellen is the only therapist who has been successful in helping head heaviness lift. One of the best things about Ellen is she really listens in regards to how I'm responding to treatment. She applies different techniques till we have a breakthrough.

I always enjoy being greeted by her little dog, Tucker, which eases me into the right frame of mind to relax and enjoy the massage. She's very attentive and able to adapt to my latest sports injuries or specific needs with every massage appointment. I also appreciate that at the end of the massage, Ellen always asks if she missed anything and will spend extra time if needed. Her Fremont office is one massage room with a pretty view and a balcony, so no distractions with the comings and goings like in a spa setting.

I have seen her about once every three months and plan to continue seeing her for the foreseeable future. I regularly recommend her to friends and family. The space is extremely private and comfortable (soft, low light, good temperature, quiet), and Irene does a great job of making you feel welcome! She is good at communicating to find out what you need and what works best. She has excellent body-sense and is able to really hone in on exactly the right spots and apply the right amount of pressure for the right amount of time. She also is skilled in a variety of different techniques that she is able to combine in different ways. I can't recommend Four Leaf Healing enough!

Mia's massage was deep and intense, without ever being too painful. She also used active release techniques to get out some of our deeper knots. We both agreed that she's one of the best therapists we've had, and we can't wait to book her again soon!

I loved my experience at Sunbird Massage Therapy…read more I have been treated by Tasha a couple times a while back and she's great so I recently decided to see her again at her new business. My first feeling on entering the office was one of calm serenity. The whole atmosphere in the office was peaceful and soothing, and Tasha's space is a lovely, clean, and soft setting with just the right touch of nature elements that give it a bit of the feeling that you're in a warmer sunnier climate. And I loved the soothing music selection. Tasha's space mirror's her own inner qualities. She has a gentle, patient, and attentive manner that puts you at ease. She is very easy to talk to and yet stays professional and focused on you as the patient. She seems to have it just right in the communication and flow of her work. From finding out what I wanted to focus on at the beginning, to her being responsive to physical or verbal feedback on the massage throughout, and finally to her helpful information in the end. The massage was very detailed and thorough, extending to other parts of my body that are connected to those problem areas. It was also very relaxing, and I learned this time that relaxation is where healing happens, and conversation is limited during the massage for that purpose. One thing that I really appreciate with Tasha is that each time I have seen her, I learn more about my body, the causes for pain, and what will correct it. This time she pointed out my hip posture orientation and recommended stretches and clarified how to sit correctly. At my work the following day I paid attention to my sitting position. Between the massage and me shifting my posture for one day, I noticed a significant reduction in lower back pain. I highly recommend Tasha. She takes excellent care of her patients and doesn't seem to overlook any element of the process: a beautiful experience from beginning to end.

I got massage therapy with Tasha at another location, and am overjoyed she opened Sunbird as her own studio. Supporting an independent business owner is truly the icing on the cake. Looking forward to many future sessions!

I was in a bad car accident, and ever since my back's been a little tempermental. He suggested I see Janice. One worry I had was that she might not use enough pressure -- I'm a small person but my muscles are tough. After several appointments, I have no complaints whatsoever. In addition to being a great massage therapist, Janice also gives great advice and recommendations for my overall health. And when my work schedule changed, she worked around it to make sure I could get in for an appointment. If you just want a massage to relax, Janice can do that, but so can a lot of others. What sets her apart is the fact that if you're hurting or are injured, she can help reduce pain and assist your body in the healing process. That's not something you'll get at most other establishments. I know.
