12th Ave Massage & Wellness

I have received countless massage treatments from Aliza, and at least 4 from Janice. Let’s start with Aliza first. She is the owner of 12^th Ave Massage and one of the best massage therapists I have ever seen. Her studio is in the basement of a house in a very easy to find location, right on 12^th Ave, near Whole Foods. It is very clean, comfortable, and calming as soon as you step in the door. Aliza has a relaxed and friendly presence and is thorough, but professional, in her questions about what is going on with your body and life that may be contributing to muscle pain and issues. She is incredibly adept at working through my neck and upper back issues, and has put me into the most restful sleep-​like trance state more than once on her table using cranial sacral techniques. I always leave her table feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to book another appointment to continue the healing.
Janice is also an excellent therapist. She is also very thorough in finding out how she can work with your body to ease whatever issues or pains have developed. I especially love how Janice talks you through her techniques while on the table, letting you know what she notices about your muscles, and what technique she is using to work through problem areas.
I would highly recommend this studio for both simple relaxation massage and more serious structural/​healing massage. They have recently added Saturday and Sunday appointments, take a lot of different insurance, and schedule appointments online, making booking and paying a breeze!

I couldn’t have asked for a better massage experience. From the people to the environment– it’s perfect! I will be a long time client and highly recommend 12^th Ave Massage. Thank you Aliza!

I’ve received half a dozen massages from 12 Avenue Massage and Wellness.
The warm atmosphere and inviting staff make you feel better as soon as you pull-​up. The treatment rooms and surroundings are beautiful and make this a great choice for leisure, relaxation, or targeted medical treatment. The therapists are topnotch and able to target the variety of treatments I’ve needed (mostly craniosacral and massage therapy for my shoulders and upper back). I always leave 12^th Avenue feeling refreshed and energized.
