Testimonials

"Clean, great service, and Brandon is excellent."
"Brandon did and excellent service. I needed a lymphatic drainage massage as I have lymphedema due to cancer surgery and it was getting out of control. He did a great job and so happy I got the 90 min as he did 30 on the lymph drainage and 60 on the reg massage. He was knowledgeable and I felt comfortable with him."
"Was suffering from sciatica. I started massages with Brandon 6-7 months ago. I have since progressed to the point when I am no longer bothered and have Brandon continue 'maintenance' massages for me as a therapeutic remedy. I always feel great when he's done."
"Elements massage was really wonderful. The staff is super friendly and not pushy to sell their membership. Brandon listened to what I needed and I received an excellent massage! I’m sure to go back!"

I have been sleeping better, feel better aligned and overall healthy, and there was even some emotional release in the days after. My therapist said, 'That is somatic release, and it is a good thing. Not everything has to be talked out; some things can only be released through the body.' Thank you!"

"I went in, knowing that this therapist was specialized, and before I even started Massage, he did some stretching routines, specifically focused on mobility, and I did not realize how much I needed this.Throughout the years, I’ve gone to physical therapy, but that five minute session helped so much more than hours of classes (at least in my head). I will definitely be making another appointment."

"Andre was an excellent therapist. Thank you."
"Professional service I look so forward to my monthly massage."
"Elements is wonderful. They have great customer service and a good variety of massage therapists. Andre and Jon are amazing at deep tissue massage. Highly recommend."
"I loved how peaceful and calm the lobby was. The front desk staff were friendly and easy to chat with. I liked the reading materials in the lobby, including the binder filled with information about the massage therapists. I especially appreciated the focus on their schooling and training in the field, because it made me feel like I was seeing someone who truly knows what they are doing. Andre was attentive and caring about my needs, offering me suggestions for home care and advice for future massage visits. Thanks, Elements!"
"I love your wellness program and always feel better after seeing Andre. My mom also enjoys your services and as a retired PT assistant has not had such a good massage since she stopped working."
"I like the wellness program as a model and Andre was a fantastic masseuse. I enjoy a relaxing massage but Andre was very attentive to the areas that were tight and made it a truly therapeutic massage. Can’t wait to come back!"
"Massage therapist listened to my needs and was very professional and helpful"
"Staff is super friendly. Therapist was very good. A very enjoyable experience."

"Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Andre was very informative and helpful with the questions I asked and provided an excellent massage. Great experience overall!"
"Andre gives the best massages. I appreciate that how when you call to make an appointment they try very hard to get you the massage therapist that you are requesting for and if they are not available they try to pair you with someone who is very similar. They have great customer service and it always feels like a very relaxing experience."
"Andre began by asking me what I was looking for him to do and actually listened to what I had to say. The result was a massage geared toward easing pain, with suggestions of "homework" to be done at home to compliment what he was able to do at my appointment. I am looking forward to many such sessions to help my age-related joint pain. Also, as an additional benefit I felt very relaxed after the session."

Andre believes listening & communication are key to ensuring he customizes every session to meet his clients' needs. He works weekends!

"I love the ambience and professionalism of Element Massage. I've been going since before the pandemic. Mel is fantastic at doing a really great massage. Correct pressure and always attentive to what I ask for. Thanks!"
"Melissa gave me an amazing relaxing massage . Very good and very professional . Great massage therapist and the added touches with warm towels , also wrapping feet in warm towels were a bonus ."
"Mel is great! I know Elements has many other wonderful massage therapists, but after my first session with Mel I never felt the need to try anyone else. She listens to my needs, remembers my problem areas and gives great recommendations for at home stretches/therapies, she's the only masseuse I've seen that respects my ticklishness and she only uses firm touch in areas where I'm super sensitive. I used to have a really hard time relaxing while getting a massage but with Mel I could almost fall asleep on the table. I highly recommend Elements Massage, and if you're a hypersensitive ticklish person like me or if you struggle with touch aversion, I definitely recommend Mel- she listens and respects boundaries and she's super open to feedback."
"Mel is amazing. I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated."

"Mel was great and she listened and was attentive to my problem areas. Will definitely be back!"

I walked out feeling lighter, more mobile, and without any lingering issues. Her professionalism, calming presence, and expertise made a significant difference in my overall well-being.

"I have been coming to Elements in Walnut Creek for a few years now, and I have a wonderful experience each an every time. I am a member of the monthly massage club, too. I book based on my schedule so I have had the opportunity to work with just about every therapist. Each has their own style and technique, though all of them are attentive to the focus areas that I identify. I was just in there this week and worked with a new therapist named Juana who was amazing."
"Professional, accommodating and friendly service would definitely recommend!"

As a massage therapist, I tend to exude a calm and soothing personality.

Every massage is tailored to the client - I always aim for balance between productive deep work and relaxation - and getting my clients out of fight or flight (sympathetic nervous system). Both intuitive and clinical.
