Massage in Berkeley

“Bella is amazing!! I ask her to work on the knots in my shoulders and she does such a great job“

“I had an amazing experience with Barbara today. My facial was out of this world and the Eminence products are outstanding! I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything but how could I not? I bought the hibiscus ultra lift eye cream and the bamboo firming fluid. In hindsight I wish I purchased more but I can do so online. I live in NY and have had many many facials but I would rate this in my top 5! Thank you Barbara.“

“I love Kaizen, Dr Katie Bastable is an exceptional body worker that I cannot recommend enough! I started seeing Dr Katie while I was pregnant with my first child, and she helped my hip, pelvis and rib pain immensely. Being able to feel comfortable the last few months of pregnancy was such a relief, and I continue to see Dr Katie after my pregnancy as well. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“Honestly i was kinda blown away, I came in with a messed up neck from sleeping wrong and felt way better after just one session. The massage part was solid too the therapist found knots i didnt even know existed which was impressive and kinda painful but good painful if you know what I mean. My only small complaint is the booking process online was a bit clunky, took me a few tries to get the right time slot actually. Parking in the back was easier than i expected and the space itself was calm and clean the music is actually nice not that generic spa stuff. Overall really glad I went, will definitely go back its one of those places that makes you wonder why you put it off for so long.“

“went in not really knowing what to expect but honestly it was so good. Dr. Chen actually listened to me describe my back pain and didnt just rush through the appointment. I’ve been to a few places before and this is the first time I felt like someone really understood what I was dealing with. The adjustment was quick but super effective, I felt way looser when I walked out. I’ve already booked my next visit because I actually want to go back, which is saying a lot. The space is clean and chill and the front desk person was friendly too. Found my new spot for sure.“

“Nurse here, body felt broken but Jessie
has the hands of an angel. Absolutely best massage I've had in my entire life. Highly recommend.“

“So glad I found this prenatal massage at 38 weeks! I not only extended my session once in progress but booked another for a week later. Thank you, Ursula! ??“

“I'm so incredibly grateful I found Jules and her beautiful space in Berkeley. I've been to countless number of acupuncturists and no one has been able to truly address all of my needs -- both physical and mental. Jules is warm, welcoming, compassionate, caring -- really the list goes on and on. I highly recommend her for all that ails you, plus so much more.“

“I'm so blessed to have discovered Breathe Health Center! Dr. Mia is filled with wisdom, is intuitive and is truly a master of her craft. My body, mind and spirit feel so much more aligned after our sessions. I've also experienced a Reichian breathwork session with her which powerfully moved stagnant emotions through my system. Liz is an amazing massage therapist and is so in tune - I felt so relaxed and regulated after the massage. The administrative staff are warm and considerate. I couldn't recommend this place more!“

“That has got to be one of the most incredible massages I’ve ever gotten! I didn’t have to tell her anything, she found all the knots on her own and firmly and specifically worked through them. Knots that I haven’t been able to get out in years!“

“Moonshadow has always been a great salon. We love Katerina! All the stylists are solid.“

“I first started coming here because it was the only place locally that doesn't have any hot yoga and am glad that worked out haha. Ann and Claire are wonderful. I highly recommend Ann for vinyasa and Claire for more mindful, slow meditative work. I do not recommend Suzanne.“

“This is the single most impactful treatment I’ve gotten in a long time. I feel like a completely different person. My entire body feels slimmer, especially my legs, arms, and face. I went through chemo last year, and unbeknownst to me the steroids they gave me for it gave me “moon face”. Thanks to Ida, I have my old face back after just one session. The arm at risk for lymphedema also decreased by 2cm right after the session. I will 100% be returning for more. Thank you so much Ida!!“

“This place is truly a hidden gem! I had been suffering from severe pain in my shoulders, neck, and hands—a condition that had plagued me for eight months and significantly impacted my daily life—until I found Lina at Wonderful Spa. I had previously tried seeing chiropractors and undergoing acupuncture, but my condition showed no signs of improvement. After receiving just a few therapeutic massage sessions from Lina, I am thrilled to report that my shoulder mobility has been fully restored, and I feel almost completely back to normal. Lina is incredibly professional; she possesses an intuitive ability to accurately sense exactly what your body needs. Furthermore, Wonderful Spa maintains a clean and tidy environment, and their prices are very reasonable.“

“This space is so soothing and the staff are genuine and welcoming.
You must remove your shoes to enter. The decor and ambiance are calming and beautiful.
John is an excellent acupuncture practitioner and Clara gives a deeply restorative massage.
The tea and conversation is top notch. Lovely tea blends, simulating and thought provoking conversations and community.
So good. Get yourself in there, people.
They are advocates for human rights and welcoming of diverse people.
Prices are very reasonable and they follow up with their clients to see if the treatments were beneficial. I highly recommend this place to anybody seeking healing bodywork.“

“I LOVE this place. Genuinely the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever gotten, and that’s a huge compliment because I’ve had countless massages at many different spots. I had a super stressful week, and my shoulders were so knotted up and painful that I couldn’t sleep for the last few days. I asked Olive to give an extra strong massage. She did NOT come to play. I FELL ASLEEP during the massage when my shoulders were finally released. 100000/10 experience. Had to tip 25% after that. Definitely worth every single penny.“

“Lori is always very attuned to what’s going on with my physical structure. Top-notch body worker. highly recommended!“

“Amazing! This was my second time and can’t wait to go back. It’s an intense experience but feels good at the same time. Krishna is super nice & easy to talk to. True professional and gifted at determining best course of action for your needs. I’m getting myofascial from him & it’s helping my knee pain a ton. Highly recommend!“

“Matthew is a magician and I highly recommend him. It's amazing to have my pain reduced in such a tangible way. It's not going to be a gentle relaxing massage, but this sports massage will be worth the temporary discomfort to have the underlying issues worked through. He's also really good at distracting me while he's doing all the fixing. All of my gratitude for the work he does. Kind, caring, observant, funny, and honest about what's happening with my body, this business lives up to the name Feeling Better. Thank you for everything.“

“Chloe and her whole staff are phenomenal and incredibly skilled at their craft! My skin looks amazing - never going anywhere else. What an oasis - chic, clean, comfortable. Love it!“

“Amazing Bodyworker! Jordanna is a passionate, highly skilled, and intuitive practitioner/artist. She has an ever expanding tool box which includes: the deep presence and neurological reset that Esalan massage is known for, with a side of Osteopathic Manual Therapy and Myofascial techniques, topped off with slow, conscious application of Deep Tissue massage for a full body effect. I can't wait to book another session and experience how the work is enhanced through her awareness of my body's specific needs.

If you are seeking a loving, professional presence look no further! Jordanna is truly, one in a million.“

“I love my experiences at Bellissima. I always leave feeling relaxed and renewed after a massage. Staff is super friendly and very skilled at their craft.“

“Great experience with Sheila, who guided through the whole process as it was my first time getting a colonics.“

“First and foremost, the massage I received last week was great and at no point in time did the therapist make me feel uncomfortable. That was my first time visiting Berkeley Deep Sports Massage.

I want to share that I did not feel safe as a woman at this clinic, due to the way it is set up. I was the only customer in the clinic with the male therapist - there was no person at the front desk or any other customers in the clinic at the time. It's located on a section of San Pablo that does not have a lot of regular foot traffic. Perhaps there's a way for the business to group more clients together that would help female clients feel more at ease“

“I stumbled upon Al as I was looking for a new Tuina masseuse. For those that aren’t familiar with this it is a traditional Chinese medicine technique and style of massage that does use elbows forearms etc. His approach incorporates this style as well as other massage techniques. I cannot sing enough praises about Al’s skill and thoroughness while giving a massage. He builds up the pressure and will customize the time you book for his services. If you are looking for a bougie, highly curated and high rent commercial spa, this is not for you. That being said, if you want someone to do incredible bodywork for you at an extremely reasonably price for what you receive do not miss out on his services. He extremely intuitive and also accommodating to preferences. He I incorporates hot stones and clean hot towels in every session that are complementary. He is professional, respectful, and does not partake in trivial small talk. He is there to do the work on you and after all, isn’t that what we are looking for. His strength and talent are greatly appreciated by me! The massage table is heated with simple, clean cotton linens. I am GRATEFUL I have discovered this therapist and he is hands down one of the best I have received a massage from in my 58 years. Treat yourself!“
