and here's more Yelp reviews
While I was at Soothe:
"Best massage in my life today by Janet. Neither too woo woo nor too clinical, she's a no-nonsense professional who is also caring and intuitive. Knew exactly where I needed work and exactly how much pressure to make it intense (helpful) but not painful. Best two small businesses in the whole city -- Rebel Pilates (Alicia Doyle) on Clayton and Soothe (Janet DeHart) on Hayes around the corner. After my perfect massage with Janet, I sent my big burly huz over to check it out. He's all muscle and it takes a mighty massage therapist to make a dent. Huz sez Janet is amazingly strong, and he ranked her massage the best ever just like I did. We're a couple of fools for Janet! (Now if I could just get him to Alicia at Rebel Pilates.....)."
"great massage, easy to book last minute appts.
go see janet."
"Soothe ROCKS my whirled! The massages I have had by their miracle workers are magnificent ~ Janet has incredibly strong hands & keen intuitive finesse* I always walk out feeling like a million bucks :)"
"I went to see Janet Dehart at Soothe, she is so INCREDIBLE!!!! I have had massages all over the world and nothing compares to Janet. She is truly amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows what works for your body. She customises every massage, to what your body needs. After a massage from Janet, my body feels like butter. If you want a relaxed, stress relief experience go see Janet."
"I was very pleased with the relaxing environment of Soothe. I frequently get massages and have heard great things about Soothe.I was easily able to book an appointment with Janet. She was very professional, and immediately made me feel right at ease. I have to say, Janet has magical hands! I have never had such a good massage as I had by Janet here at Soothe! She was able to find all my trouble spots without me even telling her where I was hurting. I was very impressed by the quality of her massage. I have already booked another appointment and am planning on booking as often as I can with Janet. I cannot wait for my next appointment!"
While I was at Therapeia:
"I had a really stiff neck last weekend and decided to book a last minute massage with Therapeia. I called around 4PM and got a same day appointment with Janet for 6PM. I love how they answer their phone with "How can we help you enjoy life more?"- awesome! The head, neck and shoulder massage was exactly what I needed. I was surprised at how much strength Janet has! She hit all the right knots and the next day I didnt have a single knot left on my back or neck!"
While I was at Zen Sanctuary:
Being a connoisseur of massages, fine oils, and soothing oriental sounds, I can highly recommend ZEN Sanctuary.
My amazing wife treated me (and herself really) to a couple's massage as part of our Valentine's Day Weekend celebration! She learned of ZEN from Yelp and, as always, the Yelpers didn't let us down! The Kensington location was comfortable, clean, and, most importantly, relaxing. We were immediately ushered into some comfortable seats and offered a variety of teas as we waited for our room to get setup. My wife opted for the Passion fruit tea while I (always the traditionalist) enjoyed the Green tea. The tea got us into the relaxation mood and we soon found ourselves face down on the most comfortable massage tables we've ever experienced.
Pam and Janet gave us deep tissue massages and my wife and I both agreed that these were our favorite massages EVER! The comfortable tables, the skillful hands, the scents, and the relaxing sounds all combined to make the experience unforgettable.
MOST IMPORTANT, both Janet and Pam remained silent during the entire massage. In my opinion, nothing ruins a massage easier than a chatty Cathy masseuse (or masseur, if that's your thing). I highly recommend this small yet complete sanctuary for a relaxing massage!
