I was in desperate need of having my back cupped before a competition as my chiropractor was out of town. I was looking on Yelp and came across this location. Andrea was amazing! She explained how everything would go, warned me of sensations I might feel, and ensured I was comfortable the entire time. She started off with a gentle massage and then loosely added a cup to warm it up, I think she said. It felt like a massage with the cup. It was quite nice. As she placed the cups, she made sure I was okay with the pressure for every single one. I did learn that cup son the fattier part of your body hurts a little more than the muscular parts. That was a weird sensation but I felt good the entire time. While the cups did their thing, Andrea gave me a little upper body massage with and without the cups. It was so soothing. I giggled to myself when she went toward the top of my shoulders. I have very muscular shoulders and it's like hills and valleys. The cups just wanted to pop right off every time. She did get one to stick really well and it made me wonder "Should I also get my traps cupped?!" cause it felt really good.
When we were done, the cupped area was very risen and it felt weird to sit back against anything but the swelling went down after a few hours. I was a little worried I was bruised in some of the areas but it was just tender.
I loved this experience and I will be back! After reading these reviews on the massages... I need a massage now! Oh, I also won my competition! My back held up the entire day! Thank you, Andrea!

Don't even read any of the negative reviews!!! The people who left them must be absolutely miserable people or are unable to follow simple instructions.
I had my first trigger point massage from Stacy yesterday. I immediately made another appointment and then went home crying, not because of pain but out of pure joy. Stacy, in 75 minutes, gave me more attention, expertise, therapeutic intervention and relief than I've received in 2 1/2 years. I've suffered with significant pain from piriormis syndrome. I have seen endless doctors, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, sports medicine specialists and radiologists all who couldn't help.
Stacy intuitively knew what was wrong with me. She spent time "getting to know" my body and then went to work. She is amazingly strong, persistent, receptive and therapeutic.
At this point, I'd say Stacy is a miracle worker. I walked up my stairs last evening for the first time in years without pain. I slept through the night without pain. I got out of bed this morning without pain and have skipped my way through the day 90% pain free.
I appreciate Stacy's strict Covid policy. I appreciate her bare feet; I appreciate that she was dressed in clothes conducive to hard work; I appreciate her professionalism, knowledge and determination. I appreciate that she is a tall woman with very strong hands and arms.
Stacy treated me with utmost dignity and respect; most importantly, she helped me! I couldn't be happier. I believe I'm on my way back to normal. It makes me cry!! Thank you Stacy!

I have just started attending Santa Rosa Medical Massage and have referred a lot of friends to the business. Stacy is a very kind person and her business is run well.
The pandemic has been a difficult time for all of us, and I appreciate the steps that the business has taken to keep clients and staff safe, especially since massage cannot be done at a distance. The communication about the COVID policies is well communicated, including in appointment reminder emails and a sign on the door.
There are a lot of different therapies offered, and I was able to get advice on what type of therapy may be best based on my specific needs. There was also a lot of communication before and during treatment regarding pressure preference and areas of focus, which is appreciated.
I had a great massage, and my partner did as well. He went for more specific pain due to repetitive motion and sports. He was unable to lift his arm above his head, but left with improved mobility and decreased pain. Stacy also gave him recommendations for reading materials to help with overall wellness.
The business is also currently offering free extern massages, which I think is fantastic because it helps new massage therapists with their career development AND is a great benefit to clients. Win, win!

Stacy has been the greatest contributor to my healing from a car accident where air bag deployment resulted in significant pain and injury to my neck, shoulders, and upper back. Prior to my accident I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which the accident exacerbated, and the work she did on me gave me much needed relief. As I started to feel better, some days when I saw her she would ask 'how's your body', and I would say, 'eh, pretty good today'. And then she would put her finger on a spot and I would practically yell 'ouch'! She knows the body well, and she found congested areas on me that I wasn't even aware of until she touched me in that particular place--I call it the "Stacy poke"; when she would find one of these painful spots by simply putting her finger on it . I have been treated by Stacy for over a year and I am in much better condition, but still return monthly to make sure everything stays healthy. I greatly respect her knowledge and practice, and recommend her to anyone who is looking for significant improvement with their pain issues.
