Massage in Eureka

“My experience with Marissa was so moving and healing. Her touch has depth, strength, and her voice is so soothing when offering cues to breathe and release. I came in wound
up and so tight in my body. Carrying the weight of the world emotionally and physically from all of life’s demands. She was very intuitive with her touch and helped me feel safe to move emotion. I love it when I am
almost asleep yet fully awake feeling all the muscle move and release. It was a beautiful, expansive and healing experience with her. I feel lighter in my body and my pain has lifted. I highly recommend Marissa.
She is amazing!“

“Julia is such a sweet person and she has created a lovely, healing environment. She knows the body, what needs to be done and encourages communication to ensure the best pressure, temperature, music and overall experience. I can’t wait for my next massage!“

“My experience at Active Care has truly helped shape my path to recovery. After a neck injury at work earlier this year, I dealt with many dismissive doctors and lackluster care throughout the workers’ compensation process.

When I started receiving massage therapy at Active Care with Adam, it was one of the first times I finally felt seen and heard during my recovery journey. Not only that, it was the first time in several months that I felt something was genuinely helping reduce my pain and nerve symptoms. Adam’s ability to actively listen, respond thoughtfully, and tailor his care to my needs was extremely valuable in me taking my injury and my healing seriously. His attentiveness, overall technique and etiquette, fostered a calming and safe environment that I feel only enhanced the quality and impact of the care I received.

When I expressed additional concerns, I was referred to Dr. Fogg, who was equally attentive and supportive. Even before imaging confirmed , Dr. Fogg assessed that my spinal cord was likely being compressed and recognized that my hypermobility may have contributed to the severity of my symptoms. I felt validated and understood in a way that I had not experienced elsewhere during this journey.

Without the care and attention I received from Adam and Dr. Fogg, I do not believe I would be on the same path of recovery that I am today. I am incredibly grateful to the providers who supported me during such a difficult period in my life, as well as for the knowledge and understanding I gained about myself and my injury along the way.“

“My husband and I both agreed that this is the best massage we've ever had! Very affordable, clean, and comfortable. The masseuse was attentive and very skilled. We can't wait to go back!

Editing 3 years later to say: THANK YOU for continuing to be the best massage in Humboldt. I wish I could put in to words how grateful I am for you all. Leah, Michelle, Eva... everyone is amazing, kind, and extremely hard working. They are the real deal and are incredibly respectful.Give these amazing ladies a try, you will not be disappointed!“

“I have booked with Patrick twice and will continue to book with him. His compassion comes through in his technique. He is a very personable human, and both my spirit and body were rejuvenated from the massages.“

“Just saw Tami after a couple years away from this important part of my healing journey and MAN did I miss her. I feel sooo much better. I'm so grateful for Tami and her uncanny ability to tune into my body and know exactly where I'm stuck and where the pain points are. She the Mr. Miagi to my Karate Kid and I couldn't be more grateful to resume this important part of my healing practice. Of all the years of body work I've invested in, my time with Tami has been the most productive. I highly recommend her services if you're a Humboldt local or even just visiting, this is time, energy, and money well spent.“

“I was looking for a place to get a facial while visiting California, and I found Amy.. I couldn’t be happier with my results. My skin looks amazing, smooth, fresh, and glowing. She is also incredibly sweet. I would come back??“

“I’m so happy I booked Linden for my wedding! My hair has literally never looked so good. My hair is very fine and doesn’t hold curl well, but Linden had me drop off my extensions early and performed some sort of magic that made the curls last all day. Linden was responsive, organized, efficient, and friendly. My two sisters were also very happy with their hairstyles. Would absolutely recommend for weddings in the area.“

“Angie gives a fantastic express facial but she is mostly just the sweetest person ever. Thanks Angie!“

“I’m not exaggerating when I say that Sarah truly is a healer. ?? I’ve been going to her for massages this past year or so and she can always tell where my body needs work without me even saying anything. I’ve literally adjusted my monthly budget to be able to have more frequent sessions with her—it has made such a huge difference in my overall happiness, peace and trust in my body’s ability to heal. ? Thank you, Sarah!“

“4’ 10” and 75 lbs of elbows, knees and incomprehensibly strong hands named “Jun” just gave me the best massage I’ve ever had, and I’ve had over a hundred. The other places can all shut down now; this was absolutely superb. My only complaint is that I got one hour instead of two: I’ll be back in a few days getting at least two hours but more likely three.

Background: I’ve broken my right patella twice, have an injury at T-4 from a 20’ fall out of a tree and a wrecked left shoulder: a doctor called in his sleep-deprived residents from their homes so they could see it, feel it, ooh and ahh at it and they were grateful. My work is now driving a big rig and tailgating a full trailer of cabinets every few days. I unload 16 tons, but I do it by hand and I do it every year.

Lots of other stuff, but these are the big ones and earlier that week I’d twisted my back by the extreme and noble exertion of putting on my left sock, so I had difficulty even walking in: I was debating between a massage, chiropractor or coroner with leanings toward the latter. Many an experienced undertaker would have been deceived and begun embalming me on the spot. But I walked in with the grace of a Dalek on river rock, experienced the joy that is taking your pants off when you can’t bend your spine and in walked this bit of sassy Asian fluff who asked me if I preferred hard or soft. I said hard and not one word more.

So yes: if you have a legitimate problem with intense, debilitating muscular pain then this is your place.

(Brief aside: she gave a scalp massage which is therapeutically worthless but felt so incredible that I proposed on the spot. She only thinks I was joking.)“

“Stephanie is attentive and does excellent work. I received a relaxation massage that was literally wonderful!“

“I had to give up running, my favorite form of exercise, due to a leg injury. A set of sessions with Chris over several months has got me well on my way to full recovery. The thoughtful combination of custom selected exercises and bodywork really seems to be doing the trick.“

“Katharine is so great! She really takes the time to understand what problems you're trying to work through. I feel listened to by her. Her massage was really great, and I left feeling much better. Her space is wonderful too. It's super peaceful and clean. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her on my years-long chronic pain!“

“Andrew is amazing! He really knows his business, I always feel heard and I always learn new things to promote my own well-being. Seriously, 5 stars is not enough.“

“Had my first encounter with Mathew today for a 90min Swedish massage, loved it!! Great ambiance, relaxing music, he hit all the areas I needed him to with just the right pressure! He maintained a relaxing atmosphere with his quiet demeanor. Definitely will be a monthly regular while I’m in town. Excellent service!“

“Joaquin gave me a great message. Very professional and effective. I feel so much better the next day.“

“every thing about Ryan Vodden is the best, treatments, Chinese rubs and ointments, great atmosphere&office-A+++!“

“HOKEY SMOKES! IT WAS AMAZING! I was totally stressed, I mean TOTALLY STRESSED after a software upgrade and subsequent Tech Support calls which left me with the headache from Hell, plus 40 years of moving heavy boxes into ridiculous places, sitting around for several hours, and then moving the boxes out again has left me with assorted chronic pains and I do not like to be constantly taking pain meds. For 90 minutes I could forget all that and just say "aaaah". Like the Terminator, I'll be back.“
