Shiatsu Rincon - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Jun 2017

One of my favorite places on earth. The Japanese tub is a highlight. I walked 3 feet off the ground after my first treatment from Judy. Worth every penny. Treat yourself. The house and setting are idyllic. Away from shopping centers and noise. In the foothills of Carp.

Shiatsu Rincon provides a tranquil atmosphere where one can unwind, de-stress, and relax. From the beautiful landscaping on the outside to the immaculate details on the inside, this home will help place you in a state of Zen.

I went in for a massage for the first time with the bf and the whole experience was fabulous, much better than I expected and I expect a lot from a massage! First we soaked in the soaking tub/onsen after showering in the Japanese style shower. So relaxing and a nice with a nice view out the window! They don't use chlorine in the water and sanitize it without harsh chemicals (yay for those of us with sensitive skin). Even the shampoo/conditioner were Aveda. Afterwards, we donned cotton kimono style robes and were led upstairs as Judy carried our clothes for us in a basket. We were massaged with the robes on. Shiatsu is deep, therapeutic massage (no superficial, light strokes here) and traditionally done clothed, and this experience stays true to tradition. No icky, greasy oils here, just a massage that truly makes you feel healthier, more flexible, more relaxed. The bf and I were massaged upstairs in the same room which was so cool! Jack works very deeply and worked the kinks out of my low back by massaging my back, abdomen and hips. Holy cow! Afterwards, I felt loose and light, truly like walking on clouds. I had been having a low back spasm and I'd gone to my acupuncturist and chiropractor which helped, but the only thing that took it away was Jack's deep Shiatsu! We enjoyed our massages so much that we started discussing when we'd visit next as we drove away! Run, don't walk to Shiatsu Rincon if your body is aching for massage! Oh, and this is not some big massage store/operation. The bf and I were the only ones there in their only soaking tub and the only ones being massaged. So book ahead. Afterwards I told Judy that I'd give her a very positive Yelp review and she told me that her daughter told her that they had a negative review. "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???" I asked, not believing it. Apparently someone says Shiatsu Rincon canceled her appointment, which is not true. Jack and Judy were unable to fit that person in and apparently she wrote a bad review. Hello! Lying is BAD juju/karma. I told Judy to write a rebuttal, but she is a Shiatsu practitioner, not a computer person, so I thought I'd mention it here. The truth is that this place is a hidden gem, a bargain at $85 for one hour massage and 1/2 hour soak. $85 is a bargain for the wonderful, exceptional healing work you get here. I HIGHLY recommend them! And the bf and I will be back very soon since we decided this is likely to be our go-to place for massage from now on.
