I've been going to Juliette several years now for monthly massages, so this review is well overdue! Juliette is by far the best massage therapist I've worked with. She checks in with her clients and listens to their needs and tailors each massage. No two massages are ever the same and she has a natural intuition for using just the right amount of pressure and finding the knots and crunchy spots that need extra work. I always feel great leaving Juliette's massages and consider them vital for my self-care and well-being. Not to mention that Juliette is so nice and accommodating if

Juliette is great! I've been seeing her consistently for neck/shoulder/upper back pain because of increased screen time in pandemic life. Her massages are strong, effective and always release a ton of tension! I love her new space, her knowledge and the support of stretches/tips for in between massages.

My experience with Juliette over the past five years has been wonderful. After moving to Oakland I wanted to start up monthly massages and shopped around. Her FAQs had a telling answer to whether deep-tissue hurt: yes it did, but within tolerance, to do its job. She has always been on time to our appointments with clean and relaxing surroundings. We exchange a few words -- her youngest is the same age as my grandson, so we compare and contrast -- but we don't talk very much during the session. She always ask whether any particular area needs more attention, and I've come to trust her judgment.

Juliette can always be counted on for a great massage. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy some excellent massages in my life, but I've also had quite a few that were just average or even blah, so I have some frame of reference. I strongly recommend Juliette for a deeply relaxing, professional massage. She always checks in before we start our session, but once she starts, I appreciate that she just focuses on providing an awesome massage and lets me relax without trying to chat, or otherwise distracting from the experience. I'm the type of person who reads A LOT of reviews before trusting

Had a really great 1 hour session with Juliette in December. My left shoulder was bothering me from the stress of holidays, and just general tension. She really listened to me and focused on the massage to the needed area. After the session, I felt like so much weight was lifted from me. Thanks, Juliette! I'm looking forward to the next session.

Came here as a surprise by my lady for my 30th birthday and without a doubt, this kicked off one of my favorite days ever. Juliette literally got me taken care of in ways I didn't even think was possible, had the worst pain in my neck, stiff as hell and it stretched all over my left side. In just an hour, though she didn't "magically" fix me completely, I still felt renewed and healed in ways I never thought possible. Mobility had returned to my neck, my back wasn't as bothersome as before. I've been to Thailand and had an array of different massages during my travels. But this spot, with Juliette

Juliette is amazing. I have always been skeptical about massages. My previous experiences had been mediocre at best. Now that I have found Juliette I cannot miss a month. And when I do my body really knows it. She knows exactly what to do and where I need more effort.Thank you Juliette for helping me move through my life with a balanced body.

It's unfortunate that there are a couple of negative reviews on Yelp about Em. I have a different perspective in that I have gotten massages with Em a few times now, and all of them have felt centering, healing, and uplifting.
Working with her has brought much relief to the muscles in my shoulders and legs. She has been consistently attentive and aware of pressure levels, and has offered solid insight about muscle groups in an accessible way.
Ultimately my experience has been a highly positive one. Relaxing into the massage has been particularly easy due to Em's skills as a practitioner

My wife and I had an appointment with Em this morning. At the beginning I told her my points of tension were in my upper back/shoulder and lower back/hamstring area, so I was looking for some pressure to help release those areas. She had a soft touch to warm up the body, but it didn't seem to move beyond that even when I communicated to her that I could use more pressure. She seemed to dismiss my request, insisting that she just gently wanted to open things up. I kept thinking throughout the massage that maybe she would apply pressure later on, but that didn't happen. Her brief time spent

Amanda Hough at Life Balance is really an incredible massage therapist. She's friendly and professional, and always remembers exactly where my tense areas are. During my pregnancy she adapted easily to accommodate my growing belly and sore back. I always walk out of there feeling 100 times better than when I walked in - I'd strongly recommend her!

I like Life Balance Massage in general as every therapist I've used has been professional and the rooms are quiet, clean and relaxing. However, last week I tried Caitlin Johnson and was delighted by her touch, knowledge, and professionalism. I asked for a deep tissue massage with special attention to some problem areas, and she not only worked on these with sensitivity, but I received an all-over workout of my stressed or sore muscles and a relaxing massage in just 60 minutes. I highly recommend her!!

Amanda is super friendly and strong! She'll find the problem areas and work them all the way out. The 60-minute full body massage feels both functional and relaxing, getting out knots and helping you bliss out. I always leave feeling like I'm floating! She's super communicative and has adjusted her schedule to help fit me in during a time that works best for me. Additionally, Life Balance is in a super cute area, on a quiet plant-lined second floor.

Loved the hot towels during the massage! It was very relaxing and the masseuse got right in there and was very courteous. Did a good job asking questions about my comfort level and taking direction when I said to focus on an area.
Give yourself about 15+ mins to find parking and find the place. Even with directions and the small street sign, hard to get find at first.

Good strong massage - need we say more? I had a fantastic massage here the other day. Juliette's touch was just right, getting into the areas that needed releasing without undue force. Her experience and breadth of techniques is pretty impressive and shines through during her work. She asks all the right questions before getting started, and checks in during the session. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Bonus: I loved the lotion she used. It had a light scent and my skin felt great the rest of the day!

This place was difficult to find. They are located on the second floor next to the patio/deck area. Lerin was amazing! She applied the right amount of pressure and when she noticed that I felt slightly uncomfortable, she quickly changed her technique to help guide that knot out. I've gotten plenty of massages (mostly Thai), and this is the BEST massages I have ever had. I totally knocked out because I was so relaxed. She was also very sweet and easily to talk to. Thanks, Lerin!

Great place for a great massage. I do a lot of business, and travel. And my back aches. Particularly after a SouthWest airlines flight. So recently I was in Oakland, California, and needed a massage to get me "back to shape."
These folks did a great job. It wasn't that expensive, and they were very professional. My back feels better already, and now I can suffer the air flight home.
Massages are great if you haven't tried them... Once you do, you'll be addicted.
