Mindful Touch Therapeutic Massage

I’ve had two prenatal massages with Star recently and both were heavenly. Star has been great about customizing a massage and approach that works best for me and my specific pregnancy aches and pains. She is a master of her craft and I am left feeling blissful and yummy.

I just got a life changing pregnancy massage from star today. I’m 36 weeks pregnant and can’t remember the last time I felt comfortable. She also showed me how to set up my pillows for when I sleep at night. I am truly impressed. I already set up my next appointment. Star is MAGICAL!

star is the best. intuitive, strong, sensitive. i always feel fantastic after one of her massages. she gets extra points for being unfailingly pleasant and professional. highly recommended.

I’ve been following Star Mott since she was working at the St Regis at Remede Spa (where her name was Helen Mott). She is, by far, one of my favorite massage therapists to receive work from. She’s intuitive and caring and has a plethora of useful tools in her massage therapist kit. For example, the stretches she showed me to help open up my tight, cyclist hips were a godsend. When she works deeply to help unwind big tension, she does it in such a way that I’m left drooling, not cringing. For weeks after a massage with her, my body feels more fluid and limber than before (but maybe that’s because I don’t get massaged enough! quarterly is really not enough for someone as active as I am!)
Her studio is cozy and warm and parking isn’t that hard because it’s mostly a residential neighborhood.
I highly, highly recommend receiving regular bodywork from Star.

Been going to Star for a few months now… I’ve had a lot of massages over many years from many people and Star is by far one of the very best. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable yet intuitive and healing. The online appointment system is great, her prices very reasonable, the environment is wonderful, she doesn’t rush you out, it’s just super relaxing and therapeutic. Oh, and if you like a firm touch (and I do) then she is very capable, yet my husband who likes a lighter massage is also very satisfied.

May be the best massage I’ve received. Star was fantastic: strong enough to get out all of my aches and pains, yet gentle enough that I felt genuinely cared for. And, it was a prenatal massage, which she was able to work well around my very pregnant belly.
The space was very comforting with a private shower and soothing environment.
I highly recommend a massage by Star at Mindful Touch!

Perfect in every way! This was my first time getting a massage from Star and it was everything you’d expect from a great massage. The pressure was perfect – deep – and she hit on all my trouble spots. I’d had a kink in my neck for weeks and was unable to turn my head without pain. My chiropractor could do no more for me and told me to get a massage. With her strong hands and some great stretches, Star restored the mobility and range of motion to my neck and shoulders while also being attentive to the rest of my body and soul. Thank you.
The Mindful Touch studio was clean and comfortable and Star was perceptive, grounded, and focused and the consummate professional. I will be back for more.

I’ve gotten a lot of massages to help with stress relief, join pain, and the aches of pregnancy and visited many, many therapists. Star ranks in the top 10%. You can tell by the movements she uses that she really understands the body. I just had my first pre-​natal massage with her and it was amazing. She worked all the sore points — and found a few that I didn’t even realized I had. I can’t wait to go back for my next one. My only regret is that I didn’t find her earlier. She also offers a great rate for first time clients. She’s got me sold and I look forward to making regular visits to her. THANK YOU STAR!

What a great experience for my first massage! Star is amazing. I can’t believe how relaxed I feel. Having never had a massage before I was a bit nervous about «doing it wrong». Star explained everything to me and made the whole process very comfortable. I can’t believe I waited so long!
Thank you, Star, for a great first massage!

Star was awesome! Defiantly going back.

Really great massage. Really nice big warm space. Fresh flowers, large selection of massage oils, water, private bathroom etc… oh, and really awesome massage. Star has amazing massage skills and I think has been honing those skills for quite some time. I will definitely go back.

I had a wonderful massage, Star defiantly has the touch. Her studio was clean and quiet. Will be making another appointment.

I’m giving it one star for the following reasons:
1. Assistant called one hour before my appointment and cancelled. I think this is unprofessional. Cancellation should at least be 24 hours in advance.
2. I did not get a confirmation from star for my appointment. I had to call and leave a message. I’m in client service as well. Did not hear confirmation via phone nor email.
3. I picked this place for it’s great Unilocal review but I guess not anymore.
4. I travel for work and was looking forward to a nice massage
after work. Major disappointment.

I didn’t realize how relaxed my muscles were until after i left. i haven’t felt such a relief in my neck and shoulders for years.
falling in and out of consciousness because of relaxation is awesome.

Star is a real healer from inside out! Being a masseur myself I have very high standards, and she always surprises me with her incredible massage talent.
The healing starts as you enter to her spacious comfortable Zen massage space, with clean and clear energy. She has a natural warm and loving approach and makes you feel at home fully nourished.
Waiting for next session soon!

I highly recommend! My body felt amazing after. Especially my back which seems to be uncomfortable often. Star has a very relaxing and professional demeanor. She is very focused on the individual needs of the client. I felt like she listened exactly to when my preferences were. She is not rushed and you definitely ‘get your moneys’ worth. I look forward to another one!

Yeah, she really is that good. But she’s just so damn centered and calm that you end up feeling like a amped up meth snorting ADHD reject in comparison. (I’m only kinda kidding there… i don’t think you can snort meth… can you?) But after her treatment (which is attentive and thorough and respondent of your individual needs), you’ll definitely leave breathing slower. It’s such a steal to be able to experience her skill without the nob hill spa price tag (her day job). Cash or check only.

Every time is better! There is no question of Star’s skills, both on the table and her warm & sweet demeanor. And time after time, she knows me & my body better and is able to intuit what to do to keep me in completely bliss the entire time I’m in her presence… and it lasts for days!
Do yourself a favor, indulge in the longest session you have time for, and throw in a body scrub for longer lasting bliss (you’ll probably wanna schedule some cuddly time for your sweetie after a scrub, or just a date with yourself to enjoy how extra-​yummy you feel!)
Thanks Star! You light up my life (and my chakras!)

This woman is AWESOME! She gave me the best massage I have EVER had in my entire life! (I’ve had quite a few) Her touch truly mindful. Brace yourself for a truly healing experience.

Star is pretty amazing. I have been to spas all over the country and I have yet to experience anyone as complete a therapist as Star. She incorporates multiple different styles of massage depending on what your body needs. She is always attending workshops and trainings to develop her skills so she doesn’t become stagnant or routine like a lot of therapists I have been to. I have been going to her for about 10 years now and I have never received a routine massage from her. She really listens to what is going on in your body and adjusts her therapy to that. AND, her services are based on a sliding scale so those of us who are not floating in money aren’t deprived of body work!
