i really enjoy coming here as it is convenient for me on my travels thru and between Berkeley, a little gem of a place. Chill and comfortable and the masseuses are skilled. Affordable, no pressure. Relaxing

Reviews
Undiscovered/underrated treasure walkable from Elmwood/Claremont/Temescal area! Clean, flexible, and most importantly good massages with late appointments. Amy is amazing; artist with deep mastery. You can tell she was really well trained and experienced. Wendy is also very good.
Do not sleep on this place!!! Booked a super last minute 1.5 hr deep tissue massage online, and JinJin absolutely nailed it. Precision. Strength. Technique. 10/10 all around.
Other reviews mention using google translate, but honestly I didn't even need to say anything more than which side and pointed to general areas, and Jinjin LITERALLY FOUND ALL THE SPOTS without a single peep from me.
If you are looking for mastery and olympian finger strength, look no further - thank me later.
I’d recommend calling to make a super last minute appointment because if there’s only 1 therapist who is occupied, they might not see the online booking immediately.
