Review from Andrea A.
Portland, OR
I received my first ever massage, a prenatal massage, about two weeks ago and it was absolutely fantastic. I especially appreciated the opportunity to lay tummy down during my massage; my pelvis, hips and back seemed to benefit greatly from this position. I came out of there feeling calm, centered and wishing I'd gone for the 90 minute.
As it was my first massage I had expected to enjoy it, but after receiving another massage from a different well-known prenatal massage establishment I left wishing I had gone back to Andrea. I have to say, there seems to be something extra special that accompanies her skill. -
Review from Kamila L.
Portland, OR
Andrea is very skilled and experienced in the art and the science of massage. I know that because I am an LMT and am always seeking new massage experiences to learn and expand on my own practice. The hot towels was one of the most delicious to my senses experience. The oils she used made my skin feel deeply nourished, and I now use sesame oil daily! She took time to talk with me and that means a lot to me in a massage experience. And she also educated me about placenta encapsulation, which I have now done much research on, and am so glad that women have this support. I cannot wait to come and try the other offerings. Lastly, the shower is gorgeous. Very nice bonus to the experience.
Dont hesitate to give Ayus a try. Your body deserves this nurturing~~~ -

Andrea gives some of the best massage that I've had in the world, and trust me, I've had lots of massages over the years. Her knowledge over Ayurvedic health is also very extensive and impressive. And she's just cool-highly recommended.

Andrea gave me a post partum massage and also encapsulated my placenta into pills. She is an amazing healer! The ayurvedic massage was the best I've ever had in my life and I truly felt better after taking the placenta pills. I only wish she was still in S.F!

Review from O G.

I have been going to Andrea for massages for several months now. She is a truly gifted body worker! She is very personable and takes time to talk with me prior to my massage to find out what my needs are. She also suggests exercises and stretches if a specific muscle group is extra tight.
I have recently begun an Ayurvedic consult and cleanse with her guidance and she seems to go above and beyond to take care of her clients! -
Review from Nicole C.

Andrea is Mother Earth incarnate. Her touch and attention is supremely nourishing, nurturing, and is always what is perfectly needed. But dont let that fool you. She goes as wonderfully deep as your body asks for. My work with her is an essential respite for my body from the work tension it normally accumulates.
Ive received a shirodhara from Andrea as well as an basti for the sacral and solar plexus chakra. The shirodhara came at the end of a cleanse and cleared out my mind, and entire being at that. Im due for another. The basti was oh so yummy, encouraging, and nourishing, and I felt very connected and emotionally balanced afterward.
There is always something *extra* that Andrea throws in, always something a little different that just takes the experience of receiving to a point of fulfillment. -
Review from Carole K.

Andrea is very skilled. I injured my back yesterday at the gym (doing diagonal chops) and she asked lots of questions and zeroed right in on a pulled psoas. The massage was deep and couldn't be anything but a bit painful because of the muscle injury but luckily I got some Eastern goodness to go with the sports massage. The head and neck massage was fabulous. My back feels better already.

Review from Elena I.
San Francisco, CA
I went to Ayus for a Bliss Therapy last week. I had Shirodhara, Abyanga and Svedana done. Andrea was great! She's highly skilled in bodywork (it's obvious she's had many years of experience) and has a deep understanding of Ayurveda (and follows the traditional ways of the bliss therapies). She's very in touch with how a person is feeling and with what they're needing. The transition from treatment to treatment was seamless and I felt thoroughly "blissed out" by the end. It was heavenly. I highly recommend it!

Review from Kristi M.
San Francisco, CA
Andrea is amazing! Not only did I receive a relaxing and rejuvenating full body massage but she also did some trigger point therapy on my hip to help release a tight muscle that has been bothering me for years. My hip feels much better just after our first session and I can't wait to see her again!
Andrea is very professional with a great sense of humor. I was instantly relaxed around her and when she started working on me, there was no doubt she knew what she was doing!
I highly recommend Andrea for any bodywork either restorative or healing! -
Review from Rebecca S.
Berkeley, CA
I really loved my session. I did the Abhyanga, the warm oil body massage. It was so very grounding and healing, and has helped me establish my own morning practice in a way that I never thought possible... I've never really been able to do that before, and Andrea's suggestions were really helpful in that regard. I really think her knowledge of the doshas and intuitive insight gave her a keen understanding of what was going on with me and how to help.

Review from I B.
San Francisco, CA
Andrea was recommended by a dear friend of mine and my body loved her work from day one.
I got pregnant shortly after and I was thrilled to learn she also has experience in pregnancy massage! It was a blissful relief each time I had massage by Andrea as well as pleasant, knowledgeable, and entertaining session. Andrea has a bubbly personality that puts you at ease along with a great sense of humor. She shared her knowledge of Ayurveda with me, making sure I'm taking good care of my growing baby during the entire pregnancy. As I was approaching the near end of my pregnancy, she surprised me with a certification of placenta encapsulation. I was thrilled to use somebody like Andrea whom I know and trust. She did a fantastic job.
Needless to say, she patiently explained the whole process to my mother in-law who was watching over her shoulder.
My husband wasn't very fond of this idea of mine at first, but after meeting Andrea and seeing how professional, neat, accommodating and simply wonderful she was, his doubts disappear.
Andrea is an angel. There isn't enough words to describe how wonderful she is at what she is doing. -
Review from sangeeta a.
Sunnyvale, CA
I've got Shirodhara and abhyanga from Andrea. I think it's as best as it can get!!! She has studied several different forms of massage techniques and can mix and match at ease. Andrea has this wonderful sense of understanding your body - she knows where you need work and of what kind. It's wonderful! She uses high quality oils and incenses. When i get her massage, i feel my body melting and loosening under her expert touch. I've found myself snoring every time I've got shirodhara.
Get regular massages from Andrea and say goodbye to your aches, pains and sleepless nights! -
Review from Al K.
San Francisco, CA
Andrea is an amazing person and Ayurveda practitioner. I feel very lucky to have found her. I've been seeing her through my pregnancy for an ayurvedic prenatal massage, it's been so good! Highly recommended especially if you follow the teachings of Ayurveda but even if you are absolutely new to this ancient science, you will appreciate the benefits.
