Great massage

by mcrocket

Had a great massage here, but since then have been to two other spas in the city and I have to question the rating of best in city. Makes me wonder if something sneaky did not go on with the voting process. However, I love the comfy seating and spacious feeling. I loved the sweet girl, just wish she did not talk so much and could get some of this dang knots out, but she just did not have the touch.

Would love to come here and hang out after a massage with my honey though, very inviting.

• Pros: lovely sitting area with comfy couch and pillows YUM
• Cons: Therapists quality not as advertised

Great Massage for the Office

by smithy11

We had Stephanie come into our office for three hours and she was the bomb! I wish she could come every week. She gives an excellent chair massage and I am looking forward to going into the studio for my Hot Stone massage. She listens to your needs and goes deep in the areas that really need it. I would definitely go back to her.

• Pros: Deep, great hands, strong massage
• Cons: Too Short!

Totally Recommend

I received a massage from Stephanie and she was absolutely amazing! Very understanding of my needs and really focused on my problem area. I felt extremely relaxed, comfortable, and confident that I was in good hands. I am definitely going back to her. I feel 10 times better! What a massage!

Serious muscle relief

by emmelinej

I have had some good, bad and ugly massages in my time and would have to give Therapeia a thumbs up. It was a totally relaxing experience and I felt like a new woman when I left. I had lots of muscle aches prior to my appointment but felt SO much better after an hour of deep tissue massage..blissful. I have not given the full five stars because I felt that the reception area was a bit chaotic and the receptionist rushed me through.

Holistic healing and rejuvenation are paramount at this alternative spa.

by Joanna Currier

In Short
This unique spa is situated in a large, restored mansion in breezy, tree-filled Pacific Heights. An impressive, calming front foyer--filled with crafts by local artisans--gives way to multiple warm-hued passageways lined with 11 private massage and treatment rooms, each tastefully decorated in Asian art and furnishings. The staff of more than 20 strives for the overall well-being of each client. The vibe is friendly, young and alternative, with an emphasis on healing stress and pain along with more cosmetic treatments like organic facials and waxing. The spa is known nationally for a signature hot stone massage, where stones are actually worked against the body for deeper therapy.

The best deep tissue therapist

by wormly47

If your looking for serious deep tissue Stephanie is your girl. I have been to many therapist over the years and have lived with painful neck and shoulder issues. I was needing someone with a more clinical approach and I finally found her. Stephanie is not your standard relaxation therapist. She will get you out of pain. All you need to do is tell her whats bothering you and she gets right to the problem. I have been so happy since I started seeing her. I make my appointments ahead of time so I always know I will get in on her schedule. Give her a try you wont be disappointed.

• Pros: Five star
• Cons: none

Great massage - problem solved!

by gelalu

After moving across the country and my husband going out of the country right away, I was in charge of unpacking... but I found just the help that I needed at Therapeia. The receptionist listened to my concerns about my back and neck and scheduled me appropriately - I was set for a massage the same day with Colin. He is a great therapist and I'm very grateful for the relief that I got out of one hour massage! Thank you! I hope to return soon!

• Pros: therapeutic massage in the first visit!
• Cons: expensive for one hour, but worth it all in all!

THE place for massage!!

by poisongrrl

I have found THE place for massage!! From the cute, friendly staff (they answer the phone 'how can we help you enjoy life more?' ) to the newly re-modeled lounge in the back, this place is the best! My massage was AMAZING! My therapist checked in with me about pressure, and you could tell he really knew what he was doing. It was the perfect blend of 'working out the kinks' and divine relaxation. After 90 minutes, I felt light and free, without a care in the world. Reception was sweet and efficient. I think it's safe to say I'll be back again and again. They definitley helped me 'enjoy life more' :)

• Pros: Perfect in every way!!
• Cons: Nothing

Great Attitudes and Service

by esteelesanfran

I have been getting massage from Kate for years and can tell you she is among the best of the best - strong and thoughtful while working with a deep understanding of what a pained body needs. When she joined Therapeia last year I knew it must be a quality healing facility. Her practice has only gotten better and I have been very impressed with the other therapists I've encountered when visiting Therapeia. Now pregnant and past my due date, I have begun acupunture treatments with Craig to avoid medical inducement. He and his treatment have been wonderful. He listens to my needs (both physical and emotional) and has helped me tremendously in my efforts to focus on what I can do to help my body along while providing gentle and effective treatment. Yes it is true, the do only have room tempature water in their waiting room. but who need cold cucumber water and a fancy spa lounge (which is not advertised and only drives up costs in my opinion) when you get individualized holistic healing and great service?

• Pros: Easy appointment scheduling, great service, skilled therapists
