Massaging San Diego County

I stumbled upon Gilda a few years ago after buying a groupon deal for myself and my husband. I could not be more thrilled with this discovery. Not only is Gilda a talented massage therapist, but she seems to know exactly what I need both physically and spiritually. She takes the time at the beginning of every session to ask for any special requests to make your experience even more unique and seems to know the exact amount of pressure needed to get those knots out and help you relax.

I found Gilda and Massaging San Diego County via Groupon and booked a hot stone massage.
My experience was great. Gilda was friendly, affable and professional and made me feel very welcome. She asked me questions about my massage preferences and expectations about our session and a hot stone massage. She put me at ease and explained her technique before starting. She gently checked-​in from time to time during the massage to make sure I was comfortable and also that hot stones and pressure were right. Everything was perfect. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep!
Massaging San Diego County is cozy. Location is easy to find. Plenty of street parking.
I really enjoy my hot stone massage and I will book another appointment soon.

Gilda does a great job of customizing your massage to your body’s needs. I told her how my right shoulder and hamstrings were bothering me and I went away with them feeling better. She communicates at just the right level. If you feel like talking then she talks if you want quite she leaves you along. During the hot stone massage she uses quite a bit of oil so plan on a shower afterwards. I highly recommend giving her a try.

Gilda Pratt is exactly what massage therapist should be. She has wonderful healing energy and communicates really well with her clients to make sure she is delivering exactly what they need. Everyone is different but she asks the right questions to be able to use just the right pressure in the areas and checks in during the massage to see if you are happy with the work.
Her space is nice and dark and comforting– a perfect complement to her warm energy. Her website and Genbook is easy to use for booking appointments. We have standing appointments so it’s easy to mark the calendar and not spend much time scheduling. Gilda has done massage on our whole family and I have to say the only negative is that it has to end!

Gilda is the best massage therapist I have ever had. I have been going to her for a couple years and have always been extremely happy with her services. I always feel amazing after I leave. I have had other massages and nothing compares!

Gilda has been my massage therapist for about 8 years now. I always look forward to my appointments with her. I like to come in after a very stressful day of work and get totally relaxed. I often fall asleep while I’m getting a massage. It’s that relaxing!
When my mother came to visit me from Japan, I took her to Gilda because she was needing a massage after a long flight. Although my mother doesn’t speak English and couldn’t explain what she wanted, Gilda figured out what areas she needed to focus on. My mother thought I told Gilda but I didn’t. My mother was very impressed and wished to come back and get another massage from her. Both my mother and I have seen many different therapists in the past, but we totally recommend Gilda to anyone!

I’ve been getting great massages from Gilda at Massaging San Diego County for almost 3 years (Living Social coupon).
I am an athlete and her deep tissue massage keeps me healthy and injury-​free. I’ve never gotten the same massage twice. She finds and resolves problem areas better than any other massage therapist I’ve found. Highly recommended!

Gilda was friendly and professional however I do not suggest people needing deep tissue massage get one from her. I had a 90 minute massage from her and it was not very enjoyable. None of my knots were resolved and I regret going to her honestly. Maybe she is good for people who don’t need a deep massage but I wish the reviews I had read before hand would have warned me about this.

Gilda is amazing. I’ve discovered Massaging San Diego County through a Living Social or Groupon deal over 3 years ago and have been going there since. In between I tried other places in San Diego, but none came even close. I highly recommend Gilda to anyone. If you need to get rid of a stiff back or tension she’s the best, but also just for a relaxing massage. I especially like her mmmmm… membership offer. It almost forces you to get a massage once a month, which is a good thing ;-)

Recently went here the first time for general deep-​tissue massage. Very serene space in quiet neighborhood, very accessible. I think she did great job, as other reviewers mentioned she asked about problem areas and works them out. I enjoyed my session, would go back.

Only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because there was no A/​C, and it’s been very hot & muggy in San Diego this week. Other than that, I loved my pregnancy massage by Gilda. She did a GREAT job. Many other places tend to dig in too deep and I leave sore. This was just perfect and she really understood my pregnant body. It was also much easier to find/​park than I expected. I would definitely recommend seeing her!

I love going to Gilda!!! I began going over the summer after purchasing a Living Social deal and have been hooked ever since. Gilda is nice and will ask you what your problem areas are and will focus on that. Location is easy to find, there’s street parking but I’ve never had an issue finding parking. I highly recommend her!

I discovered Gilda on LivingSocial over the summer and I am so glad I purchased those deals! My boyfriend and I have both seen her multiple times and we love her massages! Gilda is definitely one of the best message therapists that I’ve had. She is super nice and her strokes are gentle but extremely effective. I am always a much happier person after each visit. I also hate making appointments over the phone so I really appreciate the easy online booking system. We will definitely continue to see Gilda for as long as we are in San Diego.

Really enjoyed my first massage from Gilda. She has a great way about her that made the experience so relaxing for both my mind and my body. The clearly knows what she’s doing and really puts It’s not surprise to me that her schedule is so full! I look forward to my next visit!

I’ve been going to Gilda for the past 6 months or so. It started with a Google offer and I’ve not stopped! She’s really intuitive and focuses on the areas of tension and stress. She’ll adjust her pressure without you needing to say much. I carry most of my tension in my shoulders and she adapts my massages to focus on that area. I go every 3 weeks… she’s fantastic :-)

Update:
I’ve seen Gilda for pregnancy massage over the last 8 months. She really knows her stuff. I’ve never felt worried about myself or the baby. I love that she continues to seek out continuing education and genuinely wants to learn new techniques. It’s been more challenging to get into see her which is fabulous for her! Glad others have seen the light at Massaging San Diego County!

The best massage I’ve ever received! She’s very professional and an expert!

Went to see Gilda after my wife bought me a 90 minute massage. I have to say that for being first time it was great and looking forward to going back. Relieved all my shoulder tension.

good stuff. How good, you ask? Good enough to cross the border from Tijuana (where massages cost a fraction of US prices) — good enough to go back not once, not twice, but something like eight or ten times now, with no end in sight. I found Gilda via Living Social, which can go either way. She has given me the best Living Social connection, and the best massages I’ve received in Southern California. Hell yeah, that’s saying a lotl Was it good for me? Oh yeah, and it still is.

I take my massage time seriously. With my crazy schedule I enjoy me time very rarely. My friend scheduled an appointment the only way available online. It was with Danielle. Danielle was pleasant. I was there a few minutes before and saw a note on the door not to knock.
I sat down on the chairs provided and waited not very long at all. Another client exited and Danielle greeted me and asked me to wait for just a minute. Upon entering it was a single room with a bathroom. I was offered water which I declined worried that we were already a few minutes past my appointment time.
Danielle took her time to stretch my problem areas (hip) and I appreciate that. I did not get the tingly all over sensation after the massage that I have gotten before. I did enjoy the massage but may return to my old masseuse.
