Review from Mindy E.
Seattle, WA

Okay, to be fair, I have only been here once. But once is enough.
1. They take my insurance, love it.
2. The LMP, Elizabeth, was a great listener. She legitimized my concerns, told me to lay in that perfect, clean, warmed up bed; performed a relaxing massage with her strong hands, and then gave me feedback at the end, complete with advice and exercises to do at home. The best part, though, was that she validated that what I was feeling was true. I've had a lot of massages but never really felt like people noticed what I noticed... that I am a ball of knots! I am a ball of knots, Elizabeth, thank you for noticing!
3. Free parking (!!!)
4. Clean, spacious clinic
5. Nice front desk staff
6. They offer you water before and after your massage and bring it to you
7. Tootsie Roll Frooties (those delicious, small, fruit-flavored tootsie rolls you fought other kids off at the parade for) at the desk, amazing! -

I've been a few times and I have to say, like anything, it depends who you get. I had one of the most wonderful massage EVER with Pine. Very gentle yet worked very deeply and brought astounding relief and knowledge.
I have also had a reasonably good massage from another, and a god awful massage where the practitioner didn't stop working on a region when I politely asked her to stop because it was clenching up. This was a region I'd specifically requested she not to work on from the beginning, yet she did. After a clear request asking her to Stop on that area because it was spasming, she completely dismissed my concern and continued working there ANYWAY. I had to leave in an awkward mess. In bad pain for 2 weeks after. Avoid Alicia.
The Manager was very good about following up with me. They clearly do care about their standards, their reputation and their customers, and I appreciate that. -

A few designated (free) parking spots - which is always a pleasant surprise in Seattle.
The ambiance is fairly sterile - it felt too much like a clinic.
My massage was great, however, because the prices are not lower than a massage at a local salon/spa or hotel spa, I would much rather go to one of those and get the relaxing ambiance and feel pampered.Comment from Larisa G. of Dreamclinic Massage 12/3/2011

Dreamclinic has been an absolute lifesaver.... Drew is the best massage therapist I've ever had.
I have a severe, very sensitive, and permanent nerve injury throughout my entire right arm. Before I started using Drew I had at best 70% mobility on my best days and 30% on my bad days....BUT within 2 visits I jumped to 90% mobility on my good days and 70% on my bad.
I've been coming here for the past 3 months and he has done more for my arm in that short amount of time than Massage Center of Bellevue did for me in 2 years. THANKS DREW! -

This is the place to go for massage in Seattle. After having tried several clinics and spas with out a doubt this is the very best. Yes, it is a no frills place, but the environment is the perfect fusion of professionalism and pampering. My favorite masseuse is Elizabeth, she always takes her time to fix all the kinks and tightness that has accumulated over the weeks!

If you are familiar with my reviews you know I do not give 5 stars unless I know for sure it is the best it's kind.
I live in NYC so I don't know if it is the best of in Seattle But right now I wish I lived in Seattle.
I have had 3 major careers in my life time. One of them was as a personal trainer to women and as a trainer who taught dance the Martial Arts and swimming, I worked at several of the top spas and gyms in NYC. Because of our lack of space in NY we do not have anything like this for the price.
I am saying all of that to say I know quality spas. This is quality. I did not have time to look for one as a massage is a necessity for me right now in my stressed out condition after an almost 6 hour flight. In NYC a massage is about the therapist it can be good or bad and the therapist all move around from spa to spa, Here the spa itself is great and I can't imagine a bad treatment here.
My gym closed at home not too long ago and I am going back to Yoga classes soon. But until then I am pretty tense and coming here was just the medicine I needed!Listed in: Sleepless in Seattle

Another fantastic massage from the therapists from Dreamclinic. I met with Deb this time, who is quite knowledgeable, as well as FANTASTIC at what she does. I still do have that knee problem, but she was able to work it out in such a great way, that I feel barely any pain. It was AMAZING. She also spent some good time on my shoulders, which constantly hurt due to working at a computer. So thankful for Dreamclinic!

Review from Loryn K.

This morning, I did "something funny" to my neck--one of those unidentifiable injuries that happens when one is way overdue for a massage and really needs a new bed. Desperate for a quick-fix, I called Dreamclinic at 9am, and they were able to get me in within two hours.
I had the divine pleasure of seeing Will who gave me a wonderfully deep, relaxing, restorative massage, tailored perfectly for my body and its cranky muscles. I am a massage therapist here in Seattle as well, so you can trust that I'm not making any of this up. I kept thinking to myself during the rub, "I really hope it even feels HALF as good as this to receive work from me." That's how I know a massage therapist is a rockstar. Will most definitely fits the bill.
Thanks, Dreamclinic! -

Sooo this is actually an email I just sent to a friend, but it pretty well illustrates how I feel about Mollie, Rio, and Dreamclinic as a whole. :)
"Okay toots, for an *amazing* massage (and hug afterwards), I more than highly recommend Mollie at Dreamclinic. It's on 65th near the Roosevelt Whole Foods, and Mollie is fantastic at what she does. She maintains the perfect amount of pressure, has great flow & symmetry when working your body, and will destroy every knot & bit of tightness you walked in with... you leave with a handful of follow up stretches and feeling flexible & fixed!
She did wonders for me on Friday on the treatable areas after my car accident last week; since she was off yesterday, I saw her recommended friend Rio (and he was a great back up; it's who she gets HER massages from at the office, haha). Granted they're working on my bit o' whiplash and used the analogy of my muscle injuries are going to be like peeling the layers off an onion, but I was REALLY hurting before both visits and both Mollie & Rio (plus icing & anti-inflammatories) nearly had me in tears with thankfulness afterwards, I'm not kidding. Plus Mollie is just an all-around beautiful person and has become one of my closest girlfriends in recent months... maybe if you tell them I referred you, I'll get a free pen or something. ;)
Oh, and I just read at last night's appt. that if you come in on weekdays before noon, you get an early bird discount. Seriously, let me know if you have ANY questions or you'd like to chat with her first or what ever. There are rare times when I can 100% recommend someone for something... Mollz would be one of those people. :) Good luck!!" -

I thought I did something so nice for my husband for Christmas. I got him a massage here. Thank the pooh bear that he is a regifter! He didn't want a massage,he wanted a 60 inch flat screen TV! Which he got btw.
Anyhoo, I went in to get my or rather his massage. It was 90 mins and lovely. AND yes,they take insurance so I am now able to go in more.
I was in heaven as soon as I got on the table and Melissa did something awesome with my lower back and gave me a referral to a chiropractor,too.
I felt so good the next day at work.
I shall return! -

I've had a number of massages here over the years, albeit only one recently, and have had consistently good quality massages. My last one, with Elizabeth, was fabulous. We started a bit late, so she gave me some extra time, and she did wonders for my back which I had tweaked. They also have generally been able to fit me in on short notice. The bed was comfortable, the ambiance relaxing, and the people friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be returning on a more regular basis.

I ended up here because I was rear-ended.. not a happy circumstance. My practitioner,, Aletia, was thoughtful and kind as well as thorough and practical. She talked to me about what would be appropriate massage work and what would not be after an accident like mine.
I have been curious about this place- it seems to have just sprung up over across the street from the Scarlett Tree and down the block from East West Bookstore.
Many open hours, a comfortable lounge and spacious areas. -

After my last review I received a phone call from the owner, who suggested that the whole thing may have been a misunderstanding.
I decided to go back and give them another shot and this time had an entirely different experience. The owner recommended Esther, who sat down with me and really took the time to understand what was needed.
I'm happy to report that my pain level is down to manageable levels, and that I liked it so much I bought 6 more massages! (Volume discount, yay!)
What happened?
Well, my wife had this amazing experience with Molly and I wanted to reproduce that. But as I said in my previous review, massage is pretty specific and it sometimes requires a lot of work to find the best fit for you.
I needed some really strong work done and Esther did an amazing job. She was able to apply the right amount of pressure without it being painful.
In addition, I have to admit that I DO enjoy all the extra amenities this place has to offer as it really enhances the experience.
I'll admit I was wrong and I'm totally won over. I can't wait to see Esther again next week!
Thank you Molly, Larissa and Esther. :)1 Previous Review: Show all »

6/9/2010 4 Check-ins Here
Every massage I've had at Dreamclinic has been beyond excellent. Mollie did a great job of addressing the stiffness and tension in my neck and shoulders that had been causing me discomfort. When I came in to Dreamclinic today with sore knees, quads and neck from my overzealousness on the treadmill, Brian used a mixture of sports massage and Thai massage techniques that helped me out so much I felt almost ready to go for a run right after I left.
The place itself is fantastic - the rooms are quiet and relaxing. The front desk staff has always been very friendly and welcoming. The services are kind of expensive, but worth every penny. -
Review from Emily T.

Until today, I had never had a professional massage. Unfortunate, I know. After my massage at Dreamclinic, I now know what I've been missing out on. Relaxation!
Last month, I put a lot of faith in yelp reviews, since I had never personally been to Dreamclinic, and bought a massage gift certificate to give to my boyfriend for his birthday. He enjoyed his massage and to my glee he decided to bestow me with the same gift for Valentine's Day.
Granted I don't have past massage experiences to compare this to, but Melissa did a fantastic job! I mean I was drooling within a minute and I think that's a good sign! I didn't have any specific target areas that I wanted her to focus on, but instead just asked for relaxation and that is exactly what I got. She spent a lot of time focusing on my back and neck, but also made time for my arms, legs, head and face (who knew a jaw massage felt sooo good?!). I'm now a noodle and love the world.
I'm not going to lie, I kind of wanted to cry when she said we were out of time. Instead of crying, I just went ahead and made an appointment for next week! I can't believe I missed out out this experience for so long. -

SO and I went there after getting a gift certificate and we're hooked. One of the best massages I've had in a long time (only Lisa at Banya 5 comes close). We both had a masseuse named Michelle and both loved it.
Completely relaxing and making your muscles into butter - almost like a topical application of Valium, except the street value of the massage is a bit higher. -
Review from Bryan K.
Seattle, WA

It's not in my nature to pamper myself with luxuries such as a massage or a spa treatment, I mean, come on, I'm a man. But when such luxuries are gifted to me, I fully welcome them. Such it was when my girlfriend got me a gift certificate for a massage at the Dreamclinic for my birthday.
This was only my second experience with a professional massage, so there's not a whole lot to compare it with. Regardless of this fact, I enjoyed my experience whole heartily. The clinic itself is very clean and welcoming with plenty of street parking to be found. The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and explained what exactly I needed to do as far as filling out paperwork and preparing myself for the massage.
When it came time for my massage, the masseuse asked me a series of questions as to obtain what I was looking for in the experience or problem areas she could work on. This proved to be a very effective method because what I experienced can only be described as pure ecstasy.
Unfortunately for me, I now want to come back for a standing appointment, but it's a testament to the great experience I had at the Dreamclinic. This place is 5 stars all the way. Come pamper yourself here, you shan't regret it. -
Review from Sarah B.

An amazing massage experience.
I knew we had to come here when we both woke up one morning and groaned about how achy we were. I booked my boy and I appointments after seeing the great feedback here and am glad I did. And of course, I made sure I booked them for a hour.
First off, they do take doctor referrals which means that, depending on your insurance provider, you may have massages covered as part of your benefits. And for some reason, they require a referral even if your insurance doesn't, which I don't fully understand. So have one ahead of time to avoid the hassle. (at this point I'm still trying to get mine but Dreamclinic was nice enough not to charge me the full cost)
I had a hour massage with Carlie and was most pleased. She's very friendly and can be as talkative as you like. She gave me a wonderful full body massage with a nice medium pressure which fixed the horrible cracking sound in my shoulders, from past hockey injuries. My legs felt less tired and my whole body sighed in relief. It really helped to relieve my stress from dealing with a toddler.
The boy also had an hour massage with another masseuse, it was his first massage and he complimented that it was nice but not really his thing. Though his legs did feel a lot better afterwards.
The rooms were really cozy, clean and minimalist. The overall atmosphere was very serene and new age without being over the top. There is limited parking on the side of the building. Overall the entire experience was great and I highly recommend giving this place a try for a good massage. -

I'd give it a six if I could.
I have a many, many massages as has my mother who came with me to dreamclinic. These people know what they are doing.
I don't think I will I go anywhere else. I generally like a very high end spa like atmosphere (sauna, steam room and the works), but I will save that for facials or pedicures. The space is very clean and charming; nice waiting room with good mags and tea; not fussy just utilitarian. This is the real deal, this is where you go for a LMT who truly loves and hones his or her craft. They are not phoning it in. They believe in the power of massage therapy and it's evident as soon as they touch your skin. Sigh, I am still feeling like putty and it's been over 3 hours ago. Just wonderful. -

The first thing I needed to find upon moving was a massage therapist. Before I moved, I managed a therapeutic massage office, so I knew exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for an office with multiple therapists with varied schedules who were focused on total wellness and the needs of each individual; not a trendy day spa where there is a generic massage routine that every therapist must follow for fear of people having unique experiences.
Dreamclinic has 12 massage therapists. I would see any one of them. Every massage that I have had starts with a discussion with the therapist about what you want to gain from the massage - be it relief from pain in a very specific area, general relaxation, etc., you can be sure that you will get what you are looking for. The rates for massage are very comparable for the Seattle area (based on my knowedge from calling places all over).
An added benefit - if you refer people to Dreamclinic after you've gone there, you will get a certificate for 30 minutes to be added to your next massage (which I think is awesome!). -
Review from Sydnie J.
Seattle, WA

I was prescribed massages (score, right? I know!) and after calling around and getting frustrated that solitary massage therapists never answered their damn phones, I called the Dreamclinic. It really aggravates me when I call a business (during regular business hours) and there's no answer. So it's nice that there's /always/ someone there, specifically hired to pick up the phone. Based on that, their website, and that Allure voted them the best massage clinic in Seattle, I decided to with them.
The Dreamclinic always smells like honey, which is nice, and they have individual CD players in the rooms so you aren't forced to listen to any of the new age garbage that most spas and massage places seem to be so fond of. I'm more of a Smiths/Pulp/classical type girl - even for massages.
I've had two different massage therapists (scheduling conflicts) and both were great. They asked what I wanted and where the pain was, et cetera, et cetera, and massaged accordingly. Now I'm getting spoiled; by the time my appointment rolls around, I'm thinking, 'Oh /god/, I desperately need a massage,' and it's really not that desperate.
But be careful, their massages will mess you UP! Afterwards I'm always a little wobbly and unbalanced for a while as I recover from being tenderized like a steak (it feels great!). I wish I could keep getting them after my prescription runs out! -
Review from Lisa C.
Seattle, WA
1/6/2009
These ecstatic reviews make me think I either got bad luck twice or ya'll have low standards.
For me, a massage isn't just about someone doing a reasonable job relaxing you. They have to be centered and relaxed themselves. They should be observant and responsive in their touch. Most importantly, they should have a comprehensive understanding of muscular anatomy that's apparent when they touch you. This is all expecially relevant when you are going in for injury treatment. I'm sure these guys are great if you want a general de-stresser massage, but so far I've come out with my neck injury spasming because neither practitioner really worked on what I asked them to.
I've seen Molly and Shandell. Molly was okay, but not very effective in treating the areas I specified. I felt like after trying a few different movements that didn't really reach the knot, her bag of tricks ran out and I was out of luck.
I got a testy vibe from Shandell as she was working with me, like she was impatient to hear that my knots were coming loose when they werent.
I'm not paying the upwards of 80 dollars after tip for a cup of tea and some aromatherapy. I'm not expecting to feel 100% better, and I go into massages knowing the patient carries their share of responsibility for communicating clearly about what feels good and what doesnt. Also, I know that sometimes it can take a few days to feel the effects fully.
I'm taking my business elsewhere, though.
The boyfriend has been in once and had a similar lukewarm experience. -

I'm a veteran of body work and very selective about what I want to experience. I go both for therapeutic massage and because I think massage is important to general well-being. I tried out Dreamclinic when I first moved to Seattle last year and I have not needed to look elsewhere for a high quality massage. I have seen three therapists--Haakon, Mollie, and Ashley--and find their work consistently excellent, though each offers a different experience.
It's also the most comfortable waiting room I've been in...a nice blend of comfy and utilitarian and one of the front desk people is super friendly. The other one is just plain friendly. -
Review from Kristine H.
Seattle, WA
From the professionalism of their massage therapists to the accommodating front office staff, I have nothing but rave reviews for Dreamclinic! Their track record has remained high and since finding a permanent massage therapist, I continue to experience relaxing and therapeutic massages. Quick thanks to my RMT for not stocking solely flute-nature-sounds CDs, sometimes a little Depeche Mode fits my mood better than the sound of chirping birds backed by a friggin' pan flute.
I like the fact that they are not a spa. If I wanted to go to a spa, I'd go to a SPA. Dreamclinic offers massages in a tranquil environment without the added charges for things I don't want but this doesn't mean that they are low rent. Their massage rooms and lobbies are clean and pleasantly decorated.
They remodeled their clinic installing sound dampening windows and also renovating the bottom office space for their purposes. For this reason, I checked the option wheelchair accessible since you can now be seen downstairs.
Check out their website for promotions, they usually offer something to entice you to check them out. And again, you won't be disappointed. Read the other reviews and you will see what I mean! -

When I arrived, my massage therapist asked me question after question about how I was feeling, what was bothering me, what I wanted to focus on. Then, he went to work.
I almost cried. No, not because the service was terrible. No, because my massage therapist cracked knot after knot. For half an hour, he worked diligently on my neck.
I felt really good afterwards. In fact, I went to pilates and my instructor marveled at how much more open my shoulders were.
woot! -
Review from Mindy C.
Seattle, WA

Okay . . . I am sure that everyone who reads my reviews is pretty sick of my whole broken ankle saga, but again, it applies. I hadn't had a massage in over 6 months and I REALLY needed one to work out all of the wonky back things happening since I started walking again.
Anyway . . . I scheduled an appointment with Melissa, and something that was kind of nice from other places I've been was that we sat down together before the massage so that she could find out what was going on with me, what I preferred, etc. Usually, it's been my experience there's not a lot of time left for that, or they ask you when you're already laying down with your face scrunched up in that padded . . . face holder (what IS it??).
I like a firm massage . . . my ultimate goal is to feel like a really relaxed ball of mush afterwards, and let me tell you, Melissa delivers! In fact, she had techniques that not only were completely new to me, but were EXTREMELY effective . . . quite possibly there were parts of me that had never been relaxed before Melissa!
So, go see Melissa (based on other reviews it seems like everyone there is pretty high caliber) and when you get your face down in that padded thing and see a little pool of drool on the floor beneath you, it means that I probably had an appointment right before you :o) -

This is a great place; skilled therapists and a great environment.
It would be a 5-star if they didn't include their conversation with the client at the beginning as part of the 60 minutes. Get a great massage, but don't think you are getting the full time you booked for the actual massage. -

This is the best place in Seattle I have found for a massage. Seriously, I've been there three or four times with different therapists every time. No complaints here. I have to say though, my favorite was Pine.
Each therapist starts out the session with a Q&A period where they ask what is bothering you and what you'd like them to focus on. I swear they just know.
I highly recommend this place especially if you have a focus on what you want - or even just a full body massage. Worth every freaking penny!
Things to know - parking is rough but there is generally some off street parking (their lot is tiny) and usually you can get an appointment same day! -

I think I cried during that massage. And I really don't cry (maybe that's the problem!)
Seriously therapeutic both physically and spiritually. I loved the combined holistic approach to both my physical and emotional health.
I keep trying to get back but work is getting in the way, thereby perpetuating the need to get more massages.
Shandell was wonderful and very sympathetic during my first visit there (I was in a rare crisis mode...) -

Okay, so after speaking & emailing with the manager, I went in to see Michele T., a different therapist that she'd recommended. The first visit with her was okay and my opinion of this place didn't change that much. I kept going, however, because they stay open late and I didn't want it to look bad that I was hopping around to different facilities. Michele T. is the only person I'd recommended (out of the ones I've seen, anyway) out of their therapists if you want someone who is going to listen to you, stop when they're seriously hurting you, and use tact when dispensing advice. I can't say for sure whether I'm getting significantly better as a result of massage therapy (baby steps), but I'm not getting any worse, that's for sure.
The front desk has gotten their act together but as I always say, first impressions are very difficult to forget. I would say go here if you need a therapeutic massage or something along those lines. It's probably not the best place to go for a "spa" experience. I don't see it as a place of pampering. I'd say that I'm satisfied with the service I've been getting as of late. They've definitely worked around my ever changing schedule and I appreciate that. I can't give it 4 stars, but I'd give it 3.5.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Went with the package deal and came out pretty good deal, roughly something like a bit over 60 per hour. Located in center of greater Seattle so I can always drop by when need. Sort of new at this, but reservation is highly recommended if you want the massage therapist your choice.
With so many massage therapist, trial and error process is needed. My personal favorite is Pine.

Ohmigoodness. My boyfriend got me a hot stone massage here for my birthday, and even though I loved him before, I decided on that day that he would be the man I'd marry.
I had never had a massage before, and haven't since, so I don't have much to compare it to in terms of massage quality. I do know, however, that the masseuse (Amalia) made me feel so wonderful that I was literally giggling for the rest of the day.
The building was under construction, and I was a little wary of going somewhere that seemed so new-agey and being touched by a stranger . I was also a little put off by the extensive questionnaire I got (what antidepressants I'm taking? For real? I just want to get rubbed) but I think this is really just their way of being thorough. Amalia got me some tea, talked to me about exactly where and how she would be touching me, and talked to me at length about what areas I might want her to focus on. I never knew how good I could feel until she laid her hands on me. She was very professional and sensitive, and able to find where I had tension and ease it away. She also made sure the room was comfortable, and that I wasn't rushed out right away.
I would definitely recommend this place to friends, and I will be there again ASAP. -

Melissa has magic hands. I used to be a "once a year," "special occasion" kind of massage person. Then, I hurt my back.
I called the Dreamclinic because a friend had recommended them to me. Melissa fixed my back and now I'm in the best shape in years, in large part because of working with Melissa. She has confident, steady, firm, yet gentle hands. I feel truly relaxed and rejuvenated after a massage.
When you make an appointment, ask for Melissa...your body will thank you! -

I found myself with worsening pain in my arm and shoulder over the course of a month or so, and decided to tackle it with a combination of acupuncture, chiropractic care, and massage. A co-worker said, "Trust me, just go to Dreamclinic," and after looking at the reviews here, I had to try them. By far, the most helpful part of this treatment regime has been massage. I was lucky enough to be handed over to Alicia, and she has been not just another massage therapist but a partner in helping me deal with this and get healed.
I'm deeply grateful that I came here, and that I've been working with Alicia to get through this. I definitely recommend that you check this place out for any sort of massage therapy. -

I've never had a bad massage here. I recently went and got, Timothy, who AH-MAZING! I came in super tight in my shoulder area...it was so bad that I was getting shooting pain and often curled up in pain whenever I breathed because it hurt so much.
Anyhow, so I came in and Timothy worked the area for most of my session and while it's not perfect, I can breathe without any pain and have a better range of motion now. He showed me a few stretching exercises to help as well. The kicker is this though: Timothy also happens to be the acupuncturist there as well. I asked him about it skeptically, because I AM curious...but I'm also weary of people trying to sell me on things to make money. Timothy was pretty straight-forward...it could totally help, but I was "young and vibrant" enough that if I just stuck to stretching a bit more and maybe a massage once a month, I should be fine. He said if I was interested, he thought cupping, rather than acupuncture was the way to go. I love that he was straight-forward and honest rather than trying to sell me on something that wouldn't have helped.
Not only are the people here amazing and well-trained, they're honest and great. Love it. -

This review is for 2 experiences I've had with Dreamclinic Massage.
The first experience was going in to purchase a gift certificate for a 60-minute massage. When I entered, I noticed the vibe was very quiet and calm. The woman at the desk greeted me and helped me figure out which massage to purchase and had me in and out under 10 minutes. Easy, pleasant.
The second experience was me going in for an acupuncture appointment. I took advantage of their special introductory offer ($35 for the initial 90-min session). This was my first acupuncture experience, so I had no idea what to expect.
The acupuncturist, Timothy, was very down to earth and patient. He explained how acupuncture works and what he planned on doing to help my lower back pain. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He proceeded to use acupuncture needles, cupping, and electric stimulation, as well as manual massage on my s.i. joint.
Timothy gave his suggestion for a treatment plan, but was not overly pushing in trying to get me to come back in. I left the appointment feeling relaxed, energized, and a significant reduction in my back pain. I appreciated how easy it was to schedule the appointment, and the friendliness of all the staff members I encountered. Great place, highly recommend! -

I have been there a few times for massage. Went for my first acupuncture visit today. I have never felt more relaxed from a single session of anything. Daniel is amazing, he has sold me on Chinese medicine and he did not try to. He offers the Western and Chinese medical reasons for things but it just makes sense. Healing the whole body instead of a symptom. I feel amazing, and can't wait to go back!

So, in my experience, finding a good massage is not an easy thing. It seems like you find someone and then six month later they decide to become a dog psychic and you are back to searching. Or you call someone from Craigslist and they are dubiously licensed and aren't really there to relieve the tension in your shoulders.
So discovering a professional organization that is reliable and provides good service in the massage industry is kinda like finding a $50 bill in the pocket of a pair of pants you haven't worn in a while. Very cool and lint-y.
I've been there several times and these folks are awesome. I've never had a bad experience. I almost feel as if I should dock them a star because parking there can really suck, but they win it back for not being flaky. Stupid dog psychics.... -

Worth every penny! I couldn't be more relaxed afterwards unless I was sleep-walking.
They take such good care of you as soon as you walk in the door.
The atmosphere is mellow, warm, and yet very professional. The woman who helped me was truly deserving in the title 'therapist'.
Frankly I didn't want to go home!***
