The place itself is beautiful. I booked a 50 minute lymphatic massage. I arrived 5 min before my appointment. My masseuse Patricia was a bit behind with another client. I didn’t mind getting started 5 minutes later. However, when we walk into the room I start removing my shirt since we are already starting late and she stops me and says “no, don’t start taking off your clothes yet” in a condescending tone. She the started asking me questions. 10 minutes later we are still talking. It almost felt like a doctors appointment. Im on a work-trip and just wanted a lymphatic massage after flying. Time is ticking but she’s so chill about it that I’m thinking that the massage time won’t start counting until I’m in the bed. 10:18am and she finally goes outside (I took a photo of room with time stamp). She has to rearrange pillows and we finally get started at 10:23. We started with acupuncture and heated mugwort which was really nice. Then she massages me for I kid you not, 10-15 minutes then says we are done. I look over at the clock and it’s 10:53! Did she forget she went over with last client and we talked for way too long cause she has an extensive questionnaire? I had already answered so many questions on the online questionnaire and it was evident that it was not passed down to her. She then asks me “how do they do lymphatic massages in LA?” I told her that they usually start by stimulating the lymph nodes to open them before massaging other areas, but to do it however she liked. She then starts stimulating my lymph nodes in a peculiar way. I don’t think my masseuse, although a nice person, had the experience/knowledge of a real lymphatic massage. It was not a good experience and I definitely don’t recommend this place to anyone in SF area of visiting.
