Reviews for Holistic Hands

Ratings_icons Great prices but not massages

Valerie L. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,309

This place is clean and nice. Their prices are reasonable. However on the couple of times that I came here, their massage aren't deep enough. I had different people every time to experiment. Whenever I ask them to apply more pressure, they tried, but couldn't. Just my personal opinion, but I'm a massage junkie.

I get really bad knots in my back and shoulders so I go to Holistic Hands when I need them taken care of. I enjoy the atmosphere and the service, as well as the results after my massage is complete.

This is a great little massage place. The people are always friendly, nice and professional. Not only concerned about your comfort and relaxation, but your overall health. Although it's a tiny place it's got a great homey feeling.

Pros: Relaxing, homey feeling and great massage therapists

Cons: Not always easy to get an appointment

Tiffany has spoiled me to where I cant get massages from other people because they just dont add up. I am a lover of massages and always get one where ever I travel and I can honestly say that Tiffany is the best masseuse I"ve ever had. Coming to her spa is such a treat and she is such an amazing person. I always leave knowing more than I did when I walked in. She is caring, intuitive, a natural healer and has helped me in so many ways. Thank you so much....

Ratings_icons Awesome Massage

Trey333

Marrie Ann at Holistic Hands is awesome. I have had approximately 30+ massages from her. She helped me with my knee and now I can run again. If I'd followed her advice I could have skipped many doctor visits and referrals. She's a freaking savant of massage. I especially recommend her if you are having pain or suffering from a sports injury. You will be surprised. Recently I tried a body wrap which produced results by "spot reducing" belly fat. It was a visible difference. I'm male and I admit it, I did it. The peaceful facility has an infrared sauna which provides a distant escape from the city. I like to zone out in there. My insurance provider kicks in a portion of the payment so check with yours. Discount or not its very reasonable so don?t let that issue nag or hurt your productivity. Get a massage from Marrie Ann.

Pros: Great facility, price, people

Cons: If you're suffering with a sports injury it will likely require you put in some effort and possibly more than one visit.

This was a great first experience for my wife and I. She had never been to a masseuse before and was very hesitant to have some stranger massage her. This is exactly what I wanted to take her to, to introduce going to get a massage. Everything was truly fantastic! We both had a great time!

Pros: Super friendly staff, Great facilities, We felt like "-so this is how the rich people live..."

Cons: Parking was not great, but that area is limited as it is... not their fault though.

I walked into a clean, calming, healing environment. I didn't feel lke a number to be rushed through on the way to the next VISA card. A nice change. Tiffany made me feel comfortable. If you are new to massage, Holistic Hands would offer a good experience for you. I have fibromyalgia and she was able to release my trigger points better than any masseuse I have had. I felt like she was working with me, not just working on me to help relax the tension I had been carrying. She felt I needed a little extra work and I gladly agreed to the extra 15 minutes. Their price is so reasonable, I couldn't complain. I wish I lived in the area so I could be here regularly. A nice plus was that it was not hard to find.

Pros: clean, great massage, priced right

Cons: parking can be tough but they have 2 spots in back

I was on vacation this past month and needed my own getaway and found it at Holistic Hands! The staff was great, friendly and massage was incredible. The enviroment is very calming, beautiful, clean and felt the stress melting away as soon as I walked in. I had a 60 minute massage, facial, and masque. The tension was gone my shoulders & back and felt refreshed. Thanks and I will be back on my next visit.

From the moment you step into Holistic Hands, you are treated like a precious gift. My masseuse, Marrie Ann, was awesome. She brought me back, through the beautifully decorated center, into a massage room that was calm and relaxing with a wonderful scent of essential oils.

The massage was the best I've had in years!

Ratings_icons A Spa For Everyone

barrylitt

I have been to many spas that seem geared solely for a specific group of people. Holistic Hands is a place that anyone should consider for a massage, sauna, facial or any of the wide-ranging services they offer. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The spa itself is simple, relaxing and welcoming.

Ratings_icons Best Service and Massage in San Diego

nynyfan

Holistic Hands has proven to be the most professional massage establishment I've been around, it is the perfect solution for anyone in search of relaxation. In a market teeming with hyperbole and hype, Tiffany and her staff actually deliver. From the relaxing environment to the superior intuitive massages, Holistic Hands provides you with an extraordinary stress relieving experience. The Therapists really provide an elite level massage that is a must for anyone that wants to experience a top-notch massage. Being a professional and sitting in front of a PC all day is physically demanding on my neck, shoulders and arms it requires regular maintenance in order for me to work pain free. I must say, that for the past several months, Holistic Hands has established themselves as the best place that I have encountered in all the years of getting a massage. I definitely recommend you treat yourself to one of their many treatments... you won?t regret it.

Pros: See my review

Cons: parking can be hard to find sometimes

Ratings_icons Fantastic healing experience

jeb92122

I initially learned about Holistic Hands because of their infrared sauna. So recently I went in to experience a combination sauna - massage service and it was awesome! I have had many massages in my life because I participate regulary in athletics and have learned how important it is to include body work in my program. Not only are the therapists there top notch, but the room was set up so beautifully and felt so soothing. In addition to getting rid of a nagging pain I have had in my hip, my experience was one of deep relaxation and peace. The work they do at Holistic Hands goes beyond mere relaxation, it goes to deep healing and rejuvenation. Thank you ! Joyce B.

This place is a hidden gem! I was shocked when I walked in to find a quiet. peaceful atmosphere. I expected to find a typical overpriced, fast-paced day spa, where they try to "turn and burn" for profit and instead what I found was serenity for an extremely fair price. They are welcoming from the time you walk in the door until the time that you are walking out the door. There is no hard push to get you to purchase any upgrades or products while you are there, and there is an amazingly comfortable couch to relax on before and after your service.
Being a three sport athlete, I have been receiving massages for a number of years and have never been so impressed with the massage therapists knowledge with the anatomy of the body. It was different from any massage that I have received because it sort of hurt, but since I understood why it hurt, I was OK with it. That may sound strange but what I mean by that is instead of only feeling good during the massage, my muscles felt good for weeks after. They felt good because the therapist was actually moving out all of the nasty build up that gets worked up because I don't take the time to stretch properly!
Since my first initial visit I have gone back for not only the massage but love using the infra-red sauna. That thing is amazing. If you don't feel like working out one day, pop in there for 20 or 30 minutes and burn about the same amount of calories as you would if you had worked out! Lastly, I purchased 3 body wraps and will be finishing my third one this week. I have always been that girl that could care less about what the scale tells me because I know that muscle weighs more than fat, and I have a lot of muscle! It is all about how you feel in your clothes. It has been so awesome noticing the daily changes in how my clothes fit me.
I can't recommend this place enough!

Pros: Affordable, far infrared sauna, shower, ambience

Cons: parking can get tough
