Massage near Portola Valley

“People let me start by saying that Alain is fantastic!! I’ve been having shoulder/back pain for a week. After a session with him my muscle ache and pain decreased a great deal. I was able to continue working on my remodeling project. This guy is legit and the only other time I’ve received such high quality care was when I was training in Japan one summer. He gets my full recommendation and his prices are exemplary. Thanks again Alain!“

“This is my first time experiencing a chiropractor session. I feel different after my session. Dr. Jordan Savara is very accommodating and easy to deal with. And most of all, he knows what he's doing. He did a fantastic job for me today. I am coming back again for sure. I recommend Dr. Jordan for anyone who's looking for a chiropractor. They are located at 214 De Anza Blvd, San Mateo, CA 94002 and you will meet the lovely customer service. Her name is Sheri.“

“Incredible job by Thu and Annie with the citrus nails. Thu did my dip with tip and Annie finished off with perfect nail art for the summer. They were patient and accommodating. Thu shaped my nails in a way I haven’t yet done and I love it! Annie helped pick the best colors for my art and was so fast. I had my nails done again to prep for my trip to the South of France and they did an incredible job. It's been 2 weeks abroad, swimming in the Mediterranean, and they're still going strong.“

“The best massage studio I’ve found in the Bay Area! My favorite is the deep tissue massage - it can be a bit painful if you have tightness/soreness but the results are so worth it. Super effective massage for any problem areas!“

“i’ve gotten a swedish massage with both janeel and patricia and both times were great!! they are friendly, professional, and very skilled!“

“I came here for treatment after a car accident and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. The staff is extremely professional, organized, and efficient, which makes every visit smooth and stress-free. The chiropractor services are truly superior, and I really appreciate that they even offer massage beforehand to help relax and loosen up before treatment. They also provide spinal decompression therapy, which is not easy to find and has been a huge benefit in my recovery. Overall, this office goes above and beyond in both service and quality of care—I highly recommend them!“

“I loved my massage at Lotus Thai!! I have gone to many places for massages over several decades and Lotus Thai is awesome … peaceful, serene, and beautiful atmosphere. Of course what made the massage exceptional was Tanya, my masseuse. She was amazing!! She listened to what i preferred for my massage, checked in to see how the pressure was … she was amazing and I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated after my massage! Thank you, Tanya!!! .“

“I’ve been seeing Marcel for Rolfing sessions for a number of years, and his work has been nothing short of transformative for my endurance training and overall physical well-being. As someone who pushes my body through long hours of running, I’ve inevitably dealt with my share of injuries—some acute, others the slow build-up of repetitive strain. Marcel’s skill, deep anatomical knowledge, and intuitive approach have played a major role not only in helping me recover from these setbacks, but also in preventing new ones.
One thing that sets Marcel apart is his philosophy of quality over quantity. He focuses on precision, effectiveness, and understanding what my body truly needs in the moment, rather than simply working through a checklist. This has made our sessions feel purposeful and impactful every single time.
Over the years, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my posture, flexibility, and body awareness, which have translated directly into better endurance performance and more efficient recovery.
If you are an athlete—or simply someone who wants to move better and feel better—I can’t recommend Marcel highly enough.“

“My name is Julia P and I had the best experience with Dr. Carr in my first appointment they replied what was the cause of my hip pain my second appointment I felt the total change of my hip 100% guaranteed the person is wonderful and very kind thank you DR CARR you’re the best“

“I decided to sign up for a half marathon this November, so I reached out to Dr. Drew Vercellino to help me with a running program for my upcoming race. Dr. Drew took the initiative to provide me with a plan that worked best with my work schedule and helped me make changes when I couldn’t follow the plan 100%. He also helped me with a strength training program to do throughout my running program that fit nicely into the lighter running days. He really made my training easy by listening to my needs and making suggestions. I will definitely be reaching out for more training programs in the future.“

“I am so grateful to Dr Beth at Many Lives for helping me navigate a high risk pregnancy.
My first pregnancy ended at 32 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and for my second pregnancy, I was referred to Dr Beth by my doula to help manage my blood pressure and prevent preterm delivery. I am so grateful she and the Many Lives team were part of my pregnancy journey. My blood pressure was controlled my entire pregnancy and I experienced all of the other amazing benefits of acupuncture from heartburn relief to stress management and eventually encouraging labor and optimal fetal positioning. I got to my induction date at 39 weeks and baby was in a perfect position. I highly recommend Many Lives to any women who are looking for ways to prevent and manage preeclampsia and hypertension.“

“Amazing attention to details, wonderful and relaxing atmosphere! Highly recommend going to Eight baths with the partner/alone/with friends, a perfect way to relax ?“

“I got facial done here few months ago and will be going again next week. The lady who did my facial was very nice and detailed . She addressed all my issues very well.“

“My boyfriend and I were able to get in last minute for a deep tissue massage while visiting from out of town. Wonderful massage and welcoming atmosphere! Definitely recommend.“

“I have worked with Dr Aaron for the past 6 months to help me prepare for Ironman 70. He has substantially relieved my chronic neck pain from previous accidents and helped me to achieve my personal training goals. Dr Aaron is kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. The ART work combined with adjustments on my neck in particular have been extremely effective. He has a beautiful office and the home appointments have made treatment very convenient.“

“Hands down the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to – and I’ve seen quite a few!

Dr. Sarah at Better Life Chiropractic is truly in a league of her own. She’s incredibly caring, attentive, and thorough. Unlike many other chiropractors where you’re in and out in 10 minutes, Dr. Sarah actually takes the time to listen and address every concern. You never feel rushed – you feel genuinely cared for.

Having worked in a chiropractic office before and visited many chiropractors over the years, I can honestly say the level of care at Better Life Chiropractic is unprecedented. Dr. Sarah’s approach is thoughtful, personalized, and incredibly effective.

If you’re looking for real results and someone who truly cares about your well-being, this is the place. I can’t recommend Dr. Sarah highly enough – she is absolutely the best chiropractor around!“

“I had the most incredible massage with Amy tonight. truly one of the best I’ve ever had. She created such a calming, grounded atmosphere and checked in just the right amount to make sure I was comfortable throughout. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. Amy is a gem!“

“I was able to secure Jasmin as my postpartum doula rather last minute by happenstance. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through those early postpartum weeks as a first time mom without Jasmin.

After an unexpected emergency c-section, I had a lot of emotions to sort through, and Jasmin held space for all of it with so much kindness and care. Additionally, her massages were a lifesaver — my body was so bent up after birth; she helped me feel like myself again. The body binding at our last session really helped send me off to the next chapter of motherhood.

Each week, she just knew what I needed, even when I didn’t have the energy to say it. I was so tired most weeks I couldn’t think straight, but she would gently suggest things based on what she noticed before, and it always felt so thoughtful and spot-on. One week, I was so tired of dealing with the non-stop expensive medical bills, that she called around to find an appointment with an in-network pelvic floor care provider after many months of being on a waitlist at the one recommended to me by the hospital. Another week my colicky baby was crying so much, she was able to soothe him instantly.

And the fact that her services were also at an accessible price point? Truly a gift. I can’t recommend Jasmin enough to any new parent needing real, loving support during postpartum or even as a mother's helper in the first year. She made such a difference in my healing - and my heart.“

“From the moment I walked into Blue Danube Spa, I felt like I was stepping into a sanctuary of peace and care. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed to immediately put you at ease. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel like more than just a customer, they treated me like family.

My massage was nothing short of transformative. The therapist was incredibly attentive, asking about my needs and tailoring the session perfectly. Every touch felt thoughtful and professional, and I left feeling lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed, like a huge weight had been lifted off both my body and mind.

What sets Blue Danube apart is their attention to detail. From the calming music to the perfectly heated massage tables, to the little touches of aromatherapy and herbal tea afterwards, every element is designed to create the most soothing experience possible. It’s clear the team here truly cares about their clients’ well-being.

I’ve been to many spas, but Blue Danube Spa is on a completely different level. It’s not just a treatment, it’s a whole experience that stays with you long after you leave. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, heal, and feel completely taken care of, Blue Danube Spa is the absolute best.“

“I have been a patient of Dr. Ke (Kelly) for a full year, and she is truly the best doctor I have ever met. She is incredibly experienced, genuinely caring, and consistently provides full-perspective information to help me improve my health. Her therapy is a customized, effective mix of acupuncture, Moxibustion, cupping, massage, and herbal medicine, all applied at the appropriate scale. Crucially, Dr. Ke never oversells her services or products, offering only what is truly the best fit for my health.“

“The best massage spot in San Carlos! The place is very clean, the staff is welcoming, and the therapist is highly professional.
Highly recommend!“

“I'm not a person who stretches, but the stretching here made me feel much more flexible. I'm glad that I gave it a try, and now I am going regularly.“

“Sona is great and works diligently! She’s very warm and friendly as well. I’m very well pleased ?☺️“

“Phenomenal! Very grateful I found Dr. Chen and Dr. Shen. Highly recommend -- I had never had acupuncture but had a pain from an injury come back, and pain meds didn't do anything for it. Muscle relaxant only helped a little, so I decided to try acupuncture. I can't believe how much better I feel -- I could hardly walk or sit/stand, and now I am nearly back to normal four days later. Even though I had never experienced it, I felt totally comfortable in my session, had all my questions answered, and overall felt very well cared for.“
