I’ve been receiving massages from Joyce regularly and she’s been a huge help for managing my neck pain due to tension and stress. I appreciate that she uses different tools and techniques instead of just giving a generic massage. If you’re looking for something more effective and focused in the Berkeley area, this is it.
Joyce was highly recommended by my previous massage therapist who retired recently, so I decided to give it a try. Her deep tissue work was incredibly effective and very focused. I left feeling like melted butter and noticed a big difference, especially in my neck and lower back pain for days after the massage. Definitely one of the best massages I’ve had in Albany. Looking forward to returning soon.
