About Us

Hello there! So pleased you dropped by! I am Sandra :)

I am a 2007 graduate of the 815.5 hour program at the Arizona School of Massage Therapy, located in Phoenix, AZ. The school gave me a solid base knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, which aids in the assessment of my clients' needs.

My skills over the years have evolved with the various classes I have taken to remain current in my knowledge and specialization of pain relief and stress reduction. Always a student, I love to learn new ways to relieve the stressors and pain that creep into... more

Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

I always feel so much better after visiting!

I love going to Sandra, I go to a lot of different massage places, and I have to say she’s one of the best!
Sandra digs out the kinks in my shoulder and makes them go away. That is why I have been visiting her regularly for five years.

I have been going to Sandra for about 3 years, and since then, no one else will do. There are no negatives except trying to match her busy schedule with my busy schedule, but I keep up the effort because it is worth it every time. Esther
Sandra is very calming in her personality. She puts up with my lateness and follows thru with a wonderful massage every time. She knows her 'stuff' and always loosens the trouble spots - even the ones I wasn't aware of. I am sometimes prone to claustrophobia when face down - she accomodates that as soon as I am aware that I'm beginning to get tense. I'm very appreciative of this. I have been going to Sandra on a regular basis and will continue to do so.

Sandra is fantastic! Much more than a relaxing massage, she gets to the root of issues to fix the problem.
Always a great experience.

Sandra is very pleasant to work with and attentive to your needs and issues. I like that at the start of every session she asks of there are any areas that need focus, she never assumes its same old, same old. I have very tight shoulders and she helps relieve muscle knots and tension in that area every time. At one point, I was having issues with knee pain from running and she helped work that out as well. Who knew you could get muscle knots in your knees? Well I had a big one! I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone. She is great at what she does!
I love how kind she is and she is very professional. I feel so much better for weeks after the massage.

Very pleased

Hot Stone Lava Stone

Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.

Himalayan Salt Hot Stone massage

Smooth himalayan stones are heated and then lubricated with oil, and glided along the body, producing deep relaxation. While exfoliating the skin, the 84 trace minerals are seeping in where they provide benefit to the body. Negative ions are a natural benefit of the Himalayan salt massage stones. As the stones heat, they release negative ions, which help to raise serotonin levels that can help improve mood, provide mild pain relief, improve immune health, and boost the efficiency of the nervous system.

Raindrop Technique

This technique involves applying 9 therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more. Benefits include: Stress reduction, Easing muscle discomfort after exercise, System detox, Healthy immune system support. Because the Raindrop Technique encourages detoxification of the body, someone may experience some mild side effects. The best advice is to drink plenty of water before and after a session.

Xtract Cleansing Process

This cleansing process is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. It is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells. People have been known to lose weight, have increased energy levels.

I was trained in Phoenix, AZ at Arizona School of Massage Therapy, and quickly fell in love with helping people with chronic pain issues. Massage became a lifestyle, and not merely a job. A healing, caring touch mixed with faith brings so much to the table and into the lives of people needing rest. Serving others in love and bringing peace is what makes makes massage so special and rewarding.

Sandra is the best for deep tissue and overall relaxing massage. She tailors each session to what my body needs. Sandra runs on time and I don't feel like I'm on the clock. She also is not a chatter, which is great. She asks about pressure and such, but leaves it there unless I want to talk.

by Alaina on Dec 2016

The massage was not bad, but I did not like Sandra's hospitality or lack thereof. I was not offered any water after my massage or the one ounce essential oil advertised on Groupon. There was no discussion about my problem areas, the sources of my stress (which was one of the problem areas I listed) or anything else pertaining to why I was getting a massage. While I'm all for getting in and out, I would have appreciated an attempt to get to a little more about me as a customer or at the very least, an indication that my business was valued.

Really enjoyed my massage. Sandra did an excellent job at finding all of my trigger points and then some. I was surprised she found knots that I didn't even know I had.

She does a deep tissue massage on me every time. I have knots that are in the trapezoid muscle running down the neck and shoulder. She has worked on me since October 2015 and the knots have decreased in size, some completely gone. I have had these knots for all my life , carrying most of my stress. I have gone thru Physical Therapry several time and been to numerous message therapist but no one has helped me as much as Sandra. She is very professional and personal to work with. She makes you feel right at home, the first message you have. Make your appointment today and get rid of that spot that has been nagging at you for awhile.

Full body massage didn't include hands, feet or face. Barely worked on arms. Technique was very "pinchy".

Business response:

....f those other areas were of importance, then communication is again key. In order to make this right, I can offer you a certain percentage off another massage, and we can go into greater detail about what does and doesn't work for you. Thank you for the opportunity to let me openly discuss this with you and make things right. Appreciatively, Sandra Golden
