I've been a client of Verde Touch for over 4 years and originally found them serendipitously through a simple search on Yelp when I was pregnant. Verde happened to be very close to my home and I decided to give them a try. They've been a key part of my wellness practice and I'm grateful to David and his wonderful staff for keeping me relaxed, grounded and healthy throughout the years so I can simply be a better human :). They've revitalized me through ongoing massage during my pregnancy and well after, healed me through a horrible car accident and continues to surprise me with their craft approach to the art of massage.
I value my well-being especially living in Silicon Valley where it's hectic and frequent many spas around the world. Nothing compares to Verde when it comes to a nurturing, intentional, unpretentious and integrated massage experience.
Here's my recap:
Massage - David is an exceptionally talented therapist himself while also spending many hours training each and every therapist 1 on 1 for quality and consistency. He allows each to infuse their own personality into their practice. I've seen a handful of therapist each with their own style with the signature 'Verde Touch' in mind. You really enter a state of bliss and ultimate relaxation. The tables are comfy and linens soft.
For Individual/Couples massages are equally amazing (many options/promotions to find the right fit.
For Prenatal - AMAZING recess belly and breast holes in the table so you can lay face down and supported.
Staff - David, the owner and Heather, the Ops Manager are first class. In 4 years as a client, I don't think I've ever NOT received a confirmation email, text or some form of communication. If there are any cancellations, there's always a contingency (ie new date or therapist proposed). Their customer service is next level. It's exciting to see Verde's success is creating more demand and increased hiring of diverse and talented massage therapists.
Experience
Where do I start? Ok here goes...
Ambiance - Minimal, inviting, intimate, unassuming. I love it. There's a natural, deeply fragrant smell of the handmade, organic salve made in house, minimal greenery, plush furniture and wood accents that create a warm atmosphere.
Water - Reverse osmosis citrus water is clean, pure, refreshing and sooo delicious.
Organic Massage Salve - Is used during the massage and infused with quality, Young Living essential oils of your choice (or my favorite, therapists choice). I've used it as a hair mask, moisturize my toddler's skin, moisturize my lips and a plethora of other usages. It's made of organic coconut oil and beeswax and Verde magic. They sell it and I have a tub laying around everywhere - car, bedside, work.
Location - Los Altos (cozy corner nook and upstairs location), Hotel Los Gatos, and soon, downtown Palo Alto yay!. Great locations and all unique in their own way and very accessible.
Berries! Yes, raspberries, every single time, there for you to enjoy. I munch on them often :)
Automated booking App - Lifesaver. I always forget to schedule and with the app, you can pre book immediately or even find sessions last minute. It's been wonderful for not only myself but for my friends and family (i.e. family coming from out of town). The ease of scheduling is amazing.
Cost - Reasonable considering all the personal care Verde puts into supporting your well-being. There are so many promotions as well (birthday, try new therapists, etc).
David know's how to run a business so Verde will ALWAYS take care of you.
Hope you enjoy as much as I have - I think most of my friends are now Verde believers :) To your wellness. read more
