Massage in San Rafael

“This places exceeded my expectations.

My wife walked by and noticed how inviting and calming this placed looked, as well as the affordability and variety of massage modalities.

She knows I’ve been under immense work stress and have been craving a massage, and suggested I check them out.

I’m so glad I did. I had an excellent 60-minute Swedish-Thai massage and left feeling completely rejuvenated.

Many thanks to Pearl for the amazing massage and top notch service. I plan to come back soon!“

“I absolutely love North Thai Body Work & Thai Massage. I’ve been going there at least once a month for almost a year and I recommend them to everyone I know. Their space is clean and inviting, and the staff is wonderful. Peter at the front desk is lovely and can usually fit me in when I call last minute for a massage. I usually go to Patty (her hands are a bit stronger-if you like a lot of pressure), but Emma also does an amazing job, she just has a bit of a softer touch! 10/10 recommend!“

“Christina was so lovely. I was in town for the weekend and my friend recommended I get a prenatal massage at Mama Massage as I'm 35 weeks pregnant. Christina worked to squeeze me in to her busy schedule and I'm so grateful she did. The 90 min session was so perfect for mama. I loved the supportive belly table, the intention cards, the essential oils and the pressure of the massage. I felt the baby moving quite a bit during the massage, which told me they were enjoying it too. Highly recommend for any pregnant mamas in Marin!“

“Corinna's knowledge of skin is masterful. I am so delighted to have found her recently for my aging skin. It is now under her care and maintenance . My skin went from dry and dehydrated to plum and youthful, literally in one session! I am using her recommendation for home care and my skin is revived!“

“I had my first massage here today and recommend it. The booking was easy and convenient online. The space is cozy (small but warm). Kayla was my therapist and she was accommodating to my requests and gave me the treatment I was seeking. I look forward to booking again.“

“My first session with Daniel was unlike any bodywork experience I've had before. I went in expecting a massage, but what I received was so much more. Through neuromuscular therapy, Daniel took the time to identify trigger points throughout my body and walked me through the process step by step, helping me understand what was happening and why.

His approach was incredibly intentional, focusing on retraining muscles, releasing tension patterns, and addressing the root causes of discomfort rather than simply treating symptoms. The level of care and attention he gave to each area was impressive.

The relaxation I felt after the session was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I left feeling lighter, more balanced, and truly restored. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic tension, or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I highly recommend Advanced Bodywork by Daniel. It was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait for my next session.“

“I have been going here for the last 10 years, and in my experience, Natara is still the best!
A family run business, the space is peaceful and has a dreamlike atmosphere, and all of the staff are awesome!
There are a variety of massage options, but the care and quality of the massage itself is where their practitioners excel.
They also run Royal Thai, a block down the street in the French Quarter, with many items uncommon to the average Thai restaurant.“

“Chelsea is the best bodyworker I’ve ever worked with. She combines real physical strength, elite technique, and an unmatched understanding of how the body works as a connected system. She doesn’t simply treat the place that hurts - she understands the bigger picture and knows how to work across the body to help the whole system release.

Her “PATTERN” series is the clearest expression of what makes her work different. The longer sessions create enough space for the work to go deeper, and the series format allows her to approach the work with an intentional arc rather than treating each appointment as a standalone session. Each builds on the last and is a part of a larger strategy. Chelsea pays attention, adapts as your body responds, and works with a clear sense of progression, so the benefits compound over time. It is far more personalized, strategic, and effective than booking a few standard massages.

This has become one of the most valuable investments I make in my own well-being. I don’t even think about it as comparable to “getting a massage” anymore. It is serious, skillful work that has lasting value in the days and weeks that follow. And while Chelsea’s approach is grounded and physical, there is also a deeper emotional or energetic layer available if you are open to it, without it ever feeling forced or overly “woo.”“

“I had the most incredible massage with Kari! All the various elements, from the beautiful space to the heated blankets to the sound and breath guidance created such a healing experience. I walked away feeling probably the most relaxed I have in my adult life. The next morning, I woke up and finally felt fully rested for the first time in months. I could not recommend Kari more!!“

“I had an amazing experience! She was very professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. The massage was relaxing and really helped with my tension and sore muscles. I highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back!“

“My friend and I had fabulous massages from two lovely Thai practitioners. We both felt indescribably wonderful afterwards!“

“So glad I found this business. Excellent value, clean, nice employees. Lisa is excellent!“

“Binh is very knowledgeable and helped me with my pain issues. He’s truly interested in your recovery and gives you exercises and advice to work with at home. I’m recommending him to all my friends!“

“Amazing Brazilian wax and massage! Quick and painless wax. Very professional. Massage was relaxing & even included light stretching. Very nice & great customer service!“

“This review is long overdue. I’ve been seeing Dr. Derik and Dr. Alex at MJC for the past couple of years, and they have genuinely changed my life.

As someone with EDS, finding knowledgeable providers is incredibly difficult, and they are one of the only true EDS specialists in the area. More importantly, Dr. Derik and team are the most compassionate, informed, and validating doctors I’ve ever worked with.

I was dealing with constant pain and severe chronic neck pain that limited my daily life. Since working with Dr. Derik, my pain levels have significantly improved, and for the first time in 3 years, I’m active again and have been able to strengthen my body which has also reduced my fatigue, dizziness, brain fog etc.

The team at MJC truly listens, understands the complexity of hypermobility and EDS, and approach treatment in a way that feels individualized and sustainable. I can’t recommend them enough!!“

“My husband and I both thoroughly appreciate Brian’s skill and professionalism. He always seems to know how to get the tension out of tight muscles. Brian is an excellent massage Therapist!“

“Great massage, the lady was very skilled and I left totally relaxed. I will be back. Very soon“

“Dr. Amy is wonderful, kind and attentive. Her acupuncture treatments were incredibly effective and played a key role in my healing.“

“This is a professional therapeutic massage center. I had a 60-minute session featuring skillful techniques that meticulously relieved my muscle strain—there was no rough or brute force involved. The pain in my shoulders and neck completely vanished. The service was attentive and warm, and the premises were clean and tidy. It offered a great experience at a reasonable price; I will definitely be back. The quality far exceeded my expectations!“

“Jess is an extremely skillful practitioner — absolutely top tier. I worked with him after a significant injury. He helped me shift into balance at the level of tissue and structure while also staying well regulated in my nervous system. He listened and communicated with great subtlety. I felt like he was a safe and tremendously helpful partner on my healing journey.“

“OMG Avidan is the best. She is assisting me with my auto immune disease, my nutrition, and overall general help. She’s extremely dedicated to her work and helping her clients. She will review and look and research items that might be helpful to my situation And also checks up throughout the week to see how I am doing. Right now we are working on boosting my immune system and trying to find ways to have better liver, enzyme numbers and psoriasis. Avidan is a very caring and compassionate person and I feel a very supported in her hands. Ginny“

“So this is one of these storefront Asian massage places. It's next to one of the very few Asian markets in Marin which is kind of convenient for me. Seems to be only one woman working there currently. Her English is OK, not sure what the other review is on about.The place is new so it's clean and nice looking but it's not a "spa" or even really as nice as a lot of the appointment only places. But it's way way less dodgy than most of the drop in options in the area. Sort of a middle ground option, if you will.The massage is really good. She listens to you and adjusts accordingly which is nice.So really, no complaints.“

“Mark and Amy are the cutest couple. It is nice place to get massages with your loved ones after a long day. Being an athlete they have the ability to create therapeutic experiences. FYI:
Located in the “center” of Northgate Mall
Enjoy“

“Went to Kristina with a lot of pain from neck to shoulder. Could barely move. She remedied 65% of it in first session. Going back for more, but I am so grateful for her work on my neck, spine, and shoulder.“

“I just got back from a trip, and my legs and back were really sore, so I came here for a deep-tissue massage. I was impressed by how professional the service was; the staff were very welcoming, and I’m really satisfied with the experience.“
