Vince was awesome! He asked questions about what my concerns were and then went to work focused on the problem areas. I came out feeling 100 percent better, but it was definitely an intense massage.

I'm so glad I found Vince. I've been through a lot of physical trauma over the past 4 years. I've seen him twice and I can feel such a big difference in my body already. Last massage he spent most of my 2 hour massage working on my legs. I've had surgery on both legs, he was able to release so much tension from the trauma. He worked on my abdominal muscles as well as breaking up scar tissue around an old surgery scar. It was painful but he was very attentive during the massage, making sure I was doing OK. I am a Massage Therapist as well and I haven't been able to find someone who is as thorough as he is. I highly recommend seeing Vince. He's one of the best

Massage was good but didn't do full body because she ran out of time, so disappointed with her time management. I know I had a lot of issues but now my lower back is so sore can barely move. Good thing I'm not going to work for a couple of days. Maybe after all the pressure on my back it triggered something.

Caitlynn was gracious enough to take me on as an urgent walk-in yesterday. She listened actively and provided a highly skillful massage to relieve my acute shoulder and neck spasm/siezing. I was highly impressed by her technique, and appreciated her adding some Reiki to our 90 minute session in order to address the energetic component of my issue as well. I will definitely be seeking regular treatment from her. Thanks and Blessings Caitlynn!

I was treated with "specific"-izing (rather than merely a "general"-zing attentiveness. Queries, examination, bodywork, useful exercises, payments, future scheduling, and follow-up support (videos, exercises, review) were/are wondrous. Oh, sure, "paying" is never really wondrous, but it was a clean and quick process, so 'near'-wondrous. I am confident of what we did and what we shall do in the future. I am very grateful for the beginning of a rejuvenating/re-livening process... in The Sanctuary.

I had a great massage with Vince, I did the 90 minutes and it was a total relaxation and healing experience. My neck and shoulders had been very tight for some months and he worked to loosen the lumps and bumps and then had some time for just some relaxing full body work. The place was clean and beautiful, the heated bed was definitely a plus since they keep the rooms well ventilated for health safety I imagine, I might have been cold otherwise. Will be back!

I was disappointed when the masseuse was unable to answer my question about how does light therapy heal the body? And she checked in frequently at the beginning of the massage but after 30 minutes she didn’t ask as frequently
There wasn’t any pain I guess I just wanted some deeper massage at certain points

We are sorry for your disappointment. I will follow up with the therapist, and provide further education. Our therapists are directed to check in with the client but also be alert to when the client is relaxed and honor their quiet time also. We are happy to connect with you, and see if perhaps another therapist may be a better fit.

The quiet was disturbed every time the chiropractor used his drop table! After the second time, I was ready to leave, but Vince was smart enough to realize that a piece of art in the wrong place was causing the sound to reverberate and so he removed it. Afterward, it was much calmer. I would like to see Vince again, but not sure if I want to be in that room. He says he doesn’t have much choice over which room is used. Would it matter if I requested it?
Also the light in the recessed alcove glares in the eyes of a supine person on the table. It can be turned off, fortunately,but it’s location and brightness are unfortunate.
Business response:
Sorry for the distraction during the massage. We can set you in another room with Vince for future sessions or when the chiropractor is not treating. I believe the lights are on a dimmable switch in that room, but I will get a small low light lamp. Please feel free to call me when scheduling so I can make proper room access accommodations for your session. Call 925-472-0828 and ask for Kristin :)

My mom is 80 years old so I am always very concerned and careful about where I go and who I interact with. With WFH, my body especially needs the massage as my home office is not exactly the most ergonomical - I'm so happy that The Sanctuary is doing everything possible to maintain its high standards in cleanliness and sanitization, and spacing out clients and fever check, face coverings, etc. It makes me feel comfortable and safe.

If there is anything that can be done better for the face rest it would have been a much better experience. I felt like I was suffocating with the cover and pillow case. I think I would have preferred to just keep my mask on.

Great to know! Trying to implement all kinds of new methods the feedback is key! We will work with a few alternative solutions. Besides that we hope you enjoyed your massage!

The only item is when i told therapist that I have shoulder issues to be careful, is that she spent a half hour on my shoulders. I told her I didn't mean to spend time on shoulders. so, I felt more time could have been spent on whole back. otherwise, it was good.

Absolutely one of the very best massage I have ever received.
With COVID-19 I was nervous but was in desperate need of a massage.
I was warmly greeted my staff that was in full PPE, The therapist sanitized as well as I did then had my temp taken.
The office was clean and had a calm atmosphere. I enjoyed the fragrance they had in their diffuser.
The massage room was clean and comfortable! The only thing I wish was that it was longer.
The therapist was very intuitive and attentive to my needs.
I will definitely return regularly!

My first visit and I enjoyed the experience. Vincent was great. The office is shared with a chiropractor but the massage space is setup perfectly! I was pleased to get my temperature checked; hand sanitizer the moment you step in the door; and they even go as far as adding a sheet to the table while you are facedown to breath in it; as well as provide you a new mask for you once you turn over. The therapist has on a mask the entire session as well. I felt like a million bucks afterwards! Great experience overall!
