About Healing Lotus Therapy
Healing Lotus Therapy is a one-woman business dedicated to providing deep tissue massages aimed at alleviating lower back pain and stress relief. The owner, Carrie, is known for her strong hands and knowledgeable approach, particularly in addressing sciatic issues. Clients appreciate her professionalism and warm energy, which create a calming atmosphere that helps them relax from the moment they enter. The massage room is cozy and serene, offering a silent treatment that enhances the overall experience. Though new clients may need to be patient with scheduling since Carrie is the sole masseuse, the experience is highly recommended. One customer mentioned feeling lighter and rejuvenated after their treatment, while another praised Carrie for her gentle and clean approach during a Brazilian Wax. With a mix of Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point techniques, Carrie specializes in working with clients who experience pain, making her services a valuable choice for anyone seeking relief.
Carrie knows her stuff. I’m fairly new to San Leandro and needed to find a new masseuse. I found her on Yelp and was immediately impressed at my first visit. Today was my 4th appointment. I went in all knotted up, my low back locked up and I was limping pretty hard. I left ready to dance a jig...if I danced, that is.
Carrie is incredible. Simply put. What I think makes her particularly skillful is that her therapy is based in knowledge. She understands the body's anatomy and how each muscle functions independently as well as in tandem. Between my job as a District Attorney and my constant training in the gym, my body takes on an insane amount of stress. For years I had written off female massage therapists after being constantly disappointed by either the lack of pressure, or the excruciating experience of having elbows seemingly aimlessly jammed in my back in an attempt to meet my request for deep tissue. But Carrie has made me a believer again! She is strong and yet methodical with her application of pressure. Her use of hot stones is so soothing and therapeutic. Did I happen to mention she's just an amazing person in general? No wonder she is employed as a massage therapist working with athletes on the 49ers and the folks working at Facebook headquarters. And this is why I drive an hour to come see her. She is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!
So usually I would never go to get a message but since I've had back pain forever I said what the heck and tried Healing Lotus. Compared to me, the masseuse looked tiny but boy was I wrong. It felt like a body builder was working out my knots. Strong arms and hands really worked my back out straight. I felt looser than ever, I'm def coming back!
