World Of Health

I booked a couple massage for me and my husband as a relaxing night out away. We waited months before being able to book during a weekend, evening time. I was very excited about our appointment, only to be called the day of by the WOH to have them cancel due to a sick masseuse (after waiting, scheduling a sitter, etc.). I thought it was strange they didnt have a back up, but I didnt press the matter. So we rescheduled.
Once we finally got to our appointment, we arrived about 5 min early and were given champagne/​strawberries that came with the package I purchased. However, we sat in the waiting area for around 20 mins. Once our masseuses came they apologized for the delay, but they did not make it up in time. Instead, I paid for 1 ½ hrs, but received more like an 1hr 5 mins of massage. they did not extend the massage to make up the time. Regarding quality of massage, I asked for a strong massage and was very dissatisfied with the strength of my masseuse. She was a small woman, so I had my doubts to begin with, and she was as strong as she looked. It felt more like a rub done than a massage. And to top it all off she work big, clunky combat boots during the massage that were a distraction to me and my husband. While the staff were very nice, the massages were only OK and I didn’t feel we got what we paid for in terms of the time.

Jaclyn is the PRINCESS of massage. All the masseuses I’ve had at this massage spa have been excellent, yet I must say she is the best of the best

This place is romantic. I love the strawberries and champagne. The massage therapists were great and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We’ll come back

This place is AMAZING! I came in for a couples massage from Groupon and I will diffidently come back and pay regular price for the services. The staff was very understanding with the fact that due to the crazy rain storm we could off being a few minutes late but we made it in time. The staff was amazing and my therapist new how to make sure my body was relaxed. Both me and my partner want to come back not only for the therapist service but also the main chiropractic Tariq was very nice and even had a conversation with us as we proceeded to check out. This place isn’t just for relaxation but also well being and I highly recommend World Of Health.

My girl and I drove up from San Diego and got a couples massage from Josh and Alejandra. They are rock stars at their profession and made our start to the day a great one. I won’t get another massage in the Bay area from anyone else. Thanks!

Stopped by the other day for a 60 minute couples massage for my bf’s birthday. I purchased the deal via groupon and it was a breeze getting an appointment on a Sunday by booking two weeks in advance. The location itself was homey and inviting with a really relaxed vibe. After filling out some forms, we were taken to a comfy little corner for champagne and strawberries. The massage itself was wonderful and incredibly relaxing. My bf had Alejandra and I believe I had Dominique (sorry– I’m terrible with names!) Dominique was extremely attentive to my problem areas and always made sure that the pressure wasn’t too overwhelming. She was gentle and always kept me informed about what she was doing. My bf loved his massage and was very impressed with how they managed to cover the whole body in 60 minutes! From your temples to your fingers and toes– they had it all down and were very thorough. He was so relaxed he fell asleep within a few minutes and started snoring lol. I’ve had Swedish massages in Vegas before and I would say that this is definitely comparable. I had a great experience here and will definitely be back!

So we arrived 11mins late after I called 30mins before to inform we would be a little late because of the parking being terrible outside. Once we arrived we were told we had to reschedule because we were «late» and one of the massage therapist had left already. Even though there were other therapist on site, but we were giving the excuse that he was «doing laundry» and didn’t feel like giving a massage. Our appt. was for 5:30pm and we arrived at 5:41pm on the dot. What happened to a 15min grace period? We agreed to reschedule for the following weekend. Once we got to our 2^nd appt. we were greeted by our therapist. Well… I myself was greeted by my therapist Alejandra, who was extremely nice and interactive with making me feel comfortable. On the other had my Bf’ masseuse was very standoffish, didn’t greet him and barely spoke at all except to ask him what kind of aromatherapy oil he wanted to use. The match for them was terrible! As we got into our 90mins massage it seemed like things were going pretty well. Minus the very small room we were provided for a couples massage the ambiance was «okay».
Alejandra was excellent with her massage. About 45mins into the massage my peaceful relaxation was broken by the sounds of dishes being washed RIGHT next to the open window of the room we were in. The sounds of dishes dropping and hitting each other disrupted the whole vibe. You would think they would wait until closing to decide to wash dishes, especially if the sink is located next to the massage rooms. It was hard to get back into the zone of relaxing because every time the dishes clanked against each other my eyes would open :-(my bf’s masseuse decides he wants to open the loudest wrapper of gum during massaging him. If anything he should have already had the gum wrapper open or the gum somewhere convenient to get to quietly without interrupting the peace we expected. With the dishes and loud foil gum wrapper I was ready to get up from table and get dressed. Without me even mentioning how I felt about session to my Bf he instantly said he didn’t feel the relaxing vibes he expected when we booked reservations. I didn’t want to spoil his session (if it was a good one) but we were both feeling the same way «to never come back»! Two days later and I’m already looking for another spa to get what we paid for and deserved at World of Health. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Only if Alejandra can be hired privately is a way for me to even think about this location again.

Purchased a couples massage on Groupon for $ 119, and decide to check this place out for my very first massage. World of Health is located in North Beach, aka the parking in this place is a nightmare. We ended up parking at a local garage, it was $ 15 for 2.5 hrs of parking.
Though World of Massage looked a little sketch at first (there are metal gates up when it’s closed), it was pleasantly really homey inside. The staff was very welcoming, super friendly receptionist and we were taken care of right away. We filled out some paperwork and then we’re immediately greeted by our masseuses, who offered us champagne. We had our champagne In a nice intimate room. Shortly after we got started with our couples massages. I can’t really recall the experience minute by minute but all I can remember was that it was amazing! Perfect amount of pressure, aromatic smells, soothing music, relaxing environment. We loved the experience and will definitely come again and again and again.

Dominique Dominique Dominique. You left me as a puddle of goo! HAHA I have to tell you I was a bit nervous going into a couples massage as this is out of my element. But was put at ease right away. Dominique was very professional and gives a great massage. Will I be back? Hell yea! Thanks to all for a great experience!

This was my first massage experience so I don’t have anything to compare, but I can say it can be hit or miss depending on your masseuse… Mine was attentive and professional, asking about any muscles on which to focus and adjusting pressure. My girlfriend’s masseuse however took some obscure liberties from what I saw the few times my eyes were open. We chose the same massage type but had very different experiences. I also wasn’t sure how much talking is normal. Explanation of what was being done would have been nice.

I went here for laser lipo
Dr is respectful and friendly. Room was peaceful.
Only went once but bought a whole package definitely going in for more to finish and see my results!

If you are considering spending your money at World of Health, I would suggest you scroll beyond the first couple reviews (which I made the mistake of not doing before I booked the couples massage through Groupon). What you will find is a barrage of comments about the businesses lack of professionalism, unwillingness to accommodate, and blatant thievery (that I have now, unfortunately, experienced first hand).
To summarize a few of the complaints if you don’t feel like taking the time to read them World of Health is notorious for canceling appointments, refusing refunds, charging extra fees, ignoring their customers, having an uneducated and rude staff… The list goes on. Not mention that they will charge you $ 100 if you attempt to reschedule a massage.
This is the worst experience I have ever had with a spa and I would strongly urge anyone considering their services to seek them elsewhere. They may have the façade what seems like a good deal on Groupon but they do not provide ANY customer service. I’m appalled that a place that with such practices has received ANY positive reviews.
When I spoke with a woman at the front desk to complain she ACTUALLY said «It’s not my problem that you are dissatisfied with our services, there’s nothing I can do» to which I responded «are you aware that a bad reputation with tarnish the name of your business?» She said «that’s also not my problem». WOW.

Thank you for such an amazing experience. We did the groupon deal for a couple massage. When we arrived Alejandra introduced herself and let us know the other massage therapist was running late caught in public transportation. We had no rush so we were fine sitting and sipping champagne and strawberries till she arrived. Dominique came in and they showed us to our room. Neither of us had ever had a massage before so we were not sure what to expect. I had filled out the forms indicating I had a problem with my lower back. I was really thinking it was to let them know to avoid the area so it didn’t get hurt but instead Alejandra actually concentrated there expertly and literally had me feeling better than I have in months in that area. I think she may have actually made it better! My husband had read the reviews here and had read how great Dominque is. He’s the hard working one of the two of us so I let him choose who got who and he also had a very great experience. He said he felt like a puddle of goo at the end of the session. He really liked the heating technique she did on his feet and legs. Thank you ladies for a great session. I would love to offer up a suggestion to the business owner: Consider getting a fan to circulate air in the back room where we sat for strawberries and champagne. The weather was really warm and it would have been lovely to feel a little air movement while sipping.

I had a Groupon for the couple massage that followed with champagne and strawberries. I had the Asian man with the locks, wife had Dominique as her therapist. Both had their own style, both were great.
The end.

Dominique took care of me today for 90 minutes with the deep tissue and heat pad massage — it was excellent. Its hard for me to describe her method, but it was very thorough, intuitive, and DEEPLY relaxing. Pressure was firm, broad, but never painful. She clearly is highly skilled.
I’m trying to remember a better massage I’ve had and can’t — it was most definitely in the top-​5 :) Thank you!

Came here for a couple’s massage after my boyfriend bought a groupon. We were supposed to come at least 30 min early, but we were running late. However, the staff didn’t seem like they were upset or anything. They were very friendly and greeted me with a smile on their faces as I walked in to check us in for our appointment.
After filling out some paper work, the staff led us to our room where we we would get our massages. I had Dominique as my masseuse. She asked me which areas she should target and I told her my lower back and hips/​gluetes areas and asked how I liked my pressure. She started to work on my back and arms when she asked again about the pressure. I told her to go a little easier and she complied. She did a great job and really targeted my trouble areas. She even helped stretch out my hip, which I really needed from all the running I do.
I was really pleased with my experience. Most of the times, I get a masseuse who doesn’t really pay attention to what I say so it was really refreshing when Dominique did exactly what I had asked. She really knew what she was doing!

I bought a Groupon and for the 90-​minute couples’ massage with strawberries and champagne so that my husband and I could enjoy a fun relaxing day together. I scheduled massages a few weeks in advance, but 3-​hours before our appointment, Tariq called and cancelled because someone had called in sick. That was a big disappointment as we were really looking forward to it and had planned the entire day around it… but I get it, people get sick, it sucks for us. Moving on… we rescheduled.
We got there early as they had requested and we both really enjoyed the complementary champagne and strawberries before our massage. It got us loosened up and relaxed. My husband really enjoyed getting his Swedish massage with Precious. She was friendly and my husband said she did things no one had done before. Ok, I’m not jealous. I was in the room, so I know she’s legit and did a great job.
My Swedish massage with Dominique was the best I’ve ever had. I was really sensitive in a few areas and she did a great job working out the tension. She told me she was studying Physical Therapy and towards the end, I could tell with some of the stretches she did to loosen up my lower back and glutes. It was painful, but in a good way. Every problem area that I asked her to work on, she did for a lengthy period of time. As deep as the massage was, I thought I would be extremely sore the next few days, but honestly, I felt relatively good.
90-​minutes is the perfect amount of time for a really great massage that is thorough. For a place offering a Groupon, they are top-​notch and an excellent value. Thumbs up for these ladies! I highly recommend them.

We got the couples massage with champagne and strawberries as a gift. First of all, don’t expect to find any street parking, your best bet is going to be the parking garage next door which is $ 15 bucks.
They were very accomdating once we arrived, the massage from cyris was great. He was very calming but his massage style can be rough to others but it was just what I needed to help my tense back and shoulders. Dominique took care of my gf and helped her relax a lot.
The strawberries and champagne were nice. Overall, it was a great experience. Just getting there from east bay was a hassle.

Heard about this company through Groupon and bought the «couples» deal directly through them, since I was checking on same-​day service. Their willingness to honor the Groupon deal was pretty much the best part of the whole experience.
Everyone was welcoming, yes, but I’ve never hurt so much in my life after a massage. Ironically, I didn’t even arrive there with any pain. It was my fiancé that was having the trouble. (He too came away with even more pain.) I didn’t even choose «deep tissue massage» but the massage therapist pawed into me like a cat searching for a mouse in a scarecrow. We will not be returning.

Had the 90-​minute Couples Massage offer from Groupon. We actually got the Groupon 7 months ago, and making an appointment was impossible the first couple of months because no one would answer the phone. Annoying for us, but maybe they were so bombarded with clients from Groupon. I don’t know. Anyway, fast forward 7 months later to the Groupon’s expiration week and making an appointment was a breeze. Receptionist was kind, patient, and very accommodating. She let us know what time slots had certain gendered masseuses, which was helpful because the bf preferred not to have a man doing his massage. Lol.
My masseuse was Ralph and the bf’s was Valentina. They asked if we wanted the champagne and strawberries before or after our massage. We wanted them before, but since it would take time off from our massages, we opted for after. So make sure you come extra early if you want to enjoy them before without cutting into your massage time. Before the massage, they let you know which table/​bed they’d be doing, so it’s your choice which masseuse you get between the two. We both had short casual conversation with both masseuses during the massage regarding pressure and preferences. It was extremely relaxing and satisfying. In my past experiences, the pressure used was either extremely painful or barely there. The pressure Ralph gave was perfect and I didn’t have to adjust it. He was very in tune with my muscles’ tense areas.
We both really enjoyed the experience and would return. Ralph mentioned some insurance plans are accepted if you want to consider going continuously with low co-​pays. Considering how great the massage was, I might have to look into that.
One suggestion is to plan your appointment times around rush hour because traffic leaving after our massage was a b*#ch! Don’t make the same mistake.
