It can be discouraging to wake up one day and find we are not as strong as we once were, not as energetic, or even in pain. If you are at a place in your life where you want to reclaim the highest vision of yourself, if you are ready to regain strength, a sense of inner power and you want support from someone who knows how to help to get there, you've come to the right place.
Rise Up massage actively provides support on many levels to help you reach and maintain peak performance in your body and in your life. Katy has strong, intuitive hands that worked all of the sore spots in my back. Katy also has a kind and warm demeanor, and she gave me a couple of stretches to do at home as well as wrote down the names of several books for me to reference later.

Andrew is warm, engaged, committed to your health goals and his massages are AMAZING, supremely relaxing, specific and deep. He comes to us with a full and happy client roster with all of the deep listening skills and informed presence that you know as Rise Up Massage! I knew Andrew was the one I could trust to send my favorite people to and am so stoked that you get to bask in his work too.
What vision do you have for your physical body and what it wants to accomplish in this life of yours? Let's get you there. We are currently not billing for insurance massage but can happily provide you with a receipt you can submit to your insurance. Every body has its own art, no one instruction manual.
I often find that massage therapists do not use enough pressure, but those who do deep work can be too intense. Katy has a very nice balance of good pressure that doesn't become too intense-she checks in regularly to see if you want more or less, but she seems to get it just right intuitively. Her office is comfortable and the whole experience is wonderful and healing.

Andrew is, hand down, the best massage therapist I have found in Seattle (alongside Katie, also at Rise Up).
I am a personal trainer, long distance runner, and am generally pretty darn tough on my body.:) Finding Andrew has save me from injury, so I can continue to do the things I love. Andrew combines thoughtful listening, a deep knowledge of anatomy, and his own intuition to tailor a massage, each and every time, that is exactly what you need. Andrew is the first massage therapist I have been to where I book immediately after my treatment:)

Andrew and Katy are fantastic. It's hard to find a great massage therapist, and when you do, you stick with them. Not only are they great at massage, but they are so kind, caring and have that twinkle of joy that brightens one's day. I've been seeing Katy since 2019 and her schedule is normally booked, so when she brought Andrew on in June of 2020, although hesitant to test the waters of anyone else, I took a chance and scheduled with him. He is amazing! He has a great sense of pressure and is attentive to areas that need attention. As a woman, I feel very comfortable seeing him

Andrew is a natural! One of the most intuitive practitioners I've been to. He has a great instinct for the right pressure for the right point (and person). He also is very kind. He thoroughly read my intake form, where I mentioned my mom had died a little over a week ago but didn't wish to talk about it.. He didn't say a word about it, just asked if my plane trip had affected any parts of my body in particular. He even noticed it was my birthday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate such sensitivity and tact--and on top of a fab massage! He found places I hadn't even

I suffer from chronic pain and spasms and Andrew and Katy really know how to work muscles. I have been in many massage places and this place is one of my top places. I just wish the price was a bit more affordable, so more people can benefit from it more often, and it really helps more than taking pills sometimes. But great service.

I started getting massages from Andrew a few month ago for back pain and I couldn't be happier. He is so friendly and really listened to what I needed and his massages have been so helpful in my recovery. I highly recommend him and Rise Up Therapeutic Massage.

Andrew is amazing! I had over 200 massage in Asia and in the U.S and he is one of the best! He never does it wrong and he knows the perfect pressure exactly where you need it. He is not only professional but also very friendly and easy to talk to. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Andrew Bailey’s intuition and technique are incredible. He is able to identify where I need work the most and really tailors the massage to those areas. It’s rare to find someone who can adapt so well to each client’s needs. Andrew can shift from a therapeutic to a relaxation massage depending on how I am feeling that day and where I am sore or stiff. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great massage therapist that customizes the massages based on preferences and need!

Andrew has an instinctive sense for how much pressure to use on any particular point—and person! He stretched out and eased places I hadn’t even realized I was carrying stress in. I desperately needed, not just a good massage, but a thoroughly fantastic one. And I got it! Definitely will be going back. Normally I tend to see female practitioners, but I made an exception this time, and I’m so glad I did. Nice guy as well as gifted.

Both Katy and Andrew give the best massages I have ever had! They are so in tune to what your body needs, whether you are aware of it or not, and it is clear that they truly enjoy their jobs. They are super professional and make me feel completely comfortable. I upped my yearly massage budget so that I can visit them a few times a year. Always looking forward to the next one!

Andrew is amazing! He has a wonderful bedside manner - both kind and professional. He read and listened to my intake information, and incorporated it in specific ways into the massage. His massage skills are truly exceptional. It was a real therapeutic massage - intense, problem-resolving, but never painful. I will be returning to see Andrew soon.

I've always regretted cheating on Katy as I hold her as the gold standard of massage. But with her encouragement, I tried a massage with Andrew. He instinctively know the pressure my body needed, did new techniques and left me feeling relaxed and better aligned afterwards. Now it will be hard to choose between Katy and Andrew - you are winning either way! They are both great.

I'm biased, because Katy is a very important part of my life.
I've never met anyone who can connect with people and hold space in the way that she can. This especially shines in her role as a massage therapist.
Katy (and everyone she works with) doesn't just treat the aches, pains, and injuries that I come in with. She treats the whole person. She creates a peaceful space where I can connect with myself amidst the craziness of life.
No matter how I enter, I always leave feeling refreshed and taken care of.
Here's what's next:
1. Book an appointment.
2. Show up

I've had massages for greater than 15 years consistently from many parts of the country..I can say that Katy is one of the best therapist I've had. Her gifted hands, approach and just intuition are better than many of the much fancier spa places I've been. She's one of the few who is truly able to address chronic back pain issues and I am thankful to have found her!

I really enjoyed Kathy and Jen at first. But as time when on they both became less communicative. Hard to reach, hard to get answers from, and hard to schedule. Not to mention I paid a bill and their biller said I did but I told her I did and she said she would look into it. I got a bill again and no word from her. I'm frustrated because they are talented at what they did but the work on my end has become too much.

Jen is a unicorn. She's the absolute best massage therapist i've ever had (I followed her from Vida to Rise Up, and will continue to follow her wherever she goes)! She's welcoming, kind, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Jen truly cares for her clients and their state of health, both mentally and physically. She's a great listener, and provides a safe space for everyone to be their most vulnerable genuine self.

Chronic shoulder pain from a sports injury pushed me onto yelp in desperate search of a therapist who could provide some relief. Despite having back-to-back massages with a different provider, I was still experiencing shooting pain and numbness in my shoulder, neck, and back. After 5 minutes with Jen, I was already feeling relief. She is a wonderful wizard with healing hands. On top of it, she is an incredible human with whom I was instantly comfortable with. She went above and beyond to not only provide me pain relief while i was with her, but kind enough to give me therapeutic measures to

I started seeing Katy during pregnancy when my SI joint was causing me terrible pain and keeping me from sleeping. I tried a handful of other massage therapists without improvement before a friend recommended Katy to me, and she was able to steadily help my condition improve. She gives the most wonderful massages, tailored to whatever my body needs that day. I recommend her for injury/medical massage, but also for just plain relaxation. She is amazing!

I have frequent back issues and have been to several massage therapists in Seattle, but Katy is the best. She has an impressive intuitive knack for locating the trouble spots and applying just the right pressure and technique. She is very professional and kind, and I feel safe and well taken care of in her hands.

Katy is such an attentive listener, engages thoroughly to work out the best massage to give and consistently checks to see if the amount of pressure feels right, during the massage. Communication is often overlooked in other places I've visited but conversation with Katy is fluid and engaging and my 90 minutes just flew by. This is the first massage I've had, where my body felt completely loose and relaxed after (and the headache I had been suffering with, also disappeared!) - it's all made such a difference, that I've already booked up for more sessions!
