I had a session with Kaitlyn today and I was completely blown away. I have never felt such a release of tension before. She really paid attention to the tight spots in my body and even found some i was unaware of. Of all the massages I've had this one is most beneficial. I feel like she actually worked to relieve and reset my aches rather just a typical massage where they give you a nice back rub. Thank you Kaitlyn will recommend everyone i know to come see you!

Steff is a wonderful and highly skilled massage therapist w/ a very pleasant and kind demeanor. Highly recommended for deep tissue and other kinds of medical massage.

I stumbled on Kuba Uchi while searching for body work and I'm so happy that I did! Stephanie is wonderful. She has a soft, welcoming presence and her massages are the BEST. The space is adorable and I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed. Thank you Stephanie!

I highly recommend somasense and Stef. I have been going to Stef for 25years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is phenomenal at deep tissue and even after this many years she did a new style similar to a shiatsu massage and it was magnificent. My shoulders and hips fee more aligned now than ever. Thanks Stef. See you next week and every week for as long as I can.

I had such a bad neck ache. I went in for a 90 minute massage with Sergey. He healed my neck pain and also my back pain. I would have to say best massage I have ever had! Highly recommend him.

Got a couples massage here. Great experience with the therapists Miranda and Sergey. Miranda worked with me through my sensitivity and provided the best massage experience I ever had. Highly recommend. Go get a massage here.

Sergey is the best! I have a lot of issues with lower back/hip and Sergey is a magician when it comes to releasing tension in problem areas and always customizes massage to your needs. He really knows what he is doing. Highly recommend!

Ok, so I am picky and selective of places to go to for massage. My body is my own temple and I treat it like one.with flowers and all : I have been a member of SomaSense for about 2 years. during this time, its been nothing but absolute harmony for my body and mind. yes, because both become balanced when I come to this place. Working on all the tension on my physical body relieves the internal tension on the nerves as well. at least for me.

I have been worked on by Jade and Victoria. I feel like these ladies each have 10 hands, not 2 when working on me. They just feel all over me and my body loves it. So I am not about knowing all the techniques these professionals use. I dont care either. I just tell them what I want and its done. its never been an issue and both have been very accommodating.

Most recently in the last year, I have received the wonders from the gifted hands of Victoria due to my work schedule. She puts her 100% self into this art and work. It takes one session with her to know that with no doubt. I like the fact that she is well balanced and serious about her profession. A very grounded person. Victoria is an absolute blessing to the world of massage.

I do not see myself trying to explore any other place as long as she is at SomaSense. If it works, why change is my thought. Let it flow! Victoria has deep intuition when it comes to the body she is working on. her hands communicate and harmonize with the body. I rarely tell her what specific parts of my body need worked on. Try her. your body will return for more.

This is the only place I think I will go to for massages. It's so worth it. I had a deep tissue massage and cupping with Paris. She's an excellent massage therapist I must say. She definitely knows what she's doing and she knows it well. I've been sore for some time and after the session I feel uber relaxed and restored.

Don't waste anymore time, book a massage with Sergey right now. Seriously, the best massage. So knowledgeable, intuitive and great communication. I told him my trouble areas, and he did an amazing job making me feel so much better and melting those trouble areas away with the perfect amount of pressure. But what makes me leave feeling so spoiled and well cared for is his professional notice to detail.

He is always finding spots on me I had no idea needed some TLC. Plus, I have TMJ and he noticed I moved my jaw around during the massage from it acting up, so he massaged it out for me! Who does that?!? Sergey does! Bonus points for the space being so freaking IG cute and relaxing too.

Great atmosphere fantastic masseuses I have been going to SomaSENSE for a couple of years now and I have never had a bad experience. I often call last minute and they always do their best to fit me in.

Amazing massage. Paris is a true master of her art! I was so tight and sore going in there and left like a plate of jelly. Haha

I came here for the first time recently and had a wonderful experience. Sergey is awesome, very personable and gave an amazing massage. I injured my ankle recently so have been on crutches which has been exhausting and very painful and Sergey truly worked wonders. The space is very peaceful, clean and inviting. I will definitely be coming back here regularly!

Victoria was absolutely amazing. I got the best massage I've ever had. She used exactly the amount of pressure I requested and did this throughout the entire 90 minutes. I stress this cause I like a gentle touch, which doesn't seem to be the norm and in my experience it's difficult for most therapists to scale it back to the level I need or to maintain that level without slipping back into doing it really hard and deep. Victoria never forgot to keep the pressure consistent and her skills as a masseuse are superb. I've already booked another appointment with her and plan on making her a regular part of my self care.

I could have easily stayed for a four hour session and floated off into deep bliss. The place is also super cute. I would love to have that massage room for my own private meditation/reading room. It was tranquil and relaxing. The music during the massage was awesome too. Just perfect all round! Thank you Victoria :

I love this place. I was a massage therapist in NY for almost 20 years. I just had a massage from Sergey and I don't hesitate to say it was the best massage I have ever had, hands down. True deep tissue massage without being incredibly painful, focused on the areas I told him were an issue plus he found some I didn't even realize were causing me problems. Lots of amazing stretching, too. I walked out of there feeling better than I have in a long time!

LOVE THIS PLACE! I have a hectic schedule and Tina and her team is always accommodating. Additionally, SomaSense is conveniently located in Golden Hill with ample street parking. After three years of living in San Diego and forking out the dough to massage therapists around town, I am in utter shock with the phenomenal team here. Everyone is great. However, I must admit: Victoria is my go-to massage therapist and she is great in finding tight areas and working them through.

I always leave elated and refreshed. She teaches me stretches that would help in my tight areas and has such a calm spirit. I go here religiously on an almost weekly basis and am so happy I discovered SomaSense. I recommend you do the same!

Victoria. amazing! Visiting the area and wanted a barefoot massage. The spa worked hard to get my husband and I in on short notice and we were thrilled! The Massage was a true godsend! Victoria has wonderful hands and delightful feet! Thank you so much! When in the area we will most assuredly return!

I love this place so much! If you haven't tried Ashiatsu, then do yourself a favor and get an appointment asap. It's like deep tissue with 4 hands and broader pressure. And you feel the difference immediately. It's amazing! I've been seen by multiple therapists here, and they're all rad. Super chill environment too. You feel comfortable as soon as you step off that last step. It's located in a good spot too. Can't say enough good things!

Somasense is amazing! If you were like me before I met Went there and knew nothing about ashiatsu massage.look it up! It is a game changer and They are pro at it. It may seem awkward if you know nothing about it. But after you get over your paranoia it's amazing and she can actually get deeper into your fascia then you'll ever know. I have a bad shoulder which has then translated into a bad back with many problematic areas. being that my jobs keep me on my feet 12 hours a day doesn't help.

After neglecting rehab I decided I needed to do something about my shoulder. So I decided to juice more vegetables and seek more stress relief by getting more massages. And by gosh has it helped I have not seen a dislocation in a while and They are nothing but awesome when I see them because they're so nice and pleasant to work with.

I recieved a certificate for a prenatal massage at my baby shower. After a very difficult pregnancy and a painful 9th month, I booked my appointment. I had barely been able to walk or sleep the last two weeks. At 41 weeks I was set to be induced, but really wanted to try and get things going naturally. At the very least I wanted some relief from the pain.

The massage went so well, I was able to go to the beach and hour after my appointment. I walked around and played in the water. By the next day, I naturally went into labor at almost 42 weeks. Alicia was wonderful! I loved my massage so much, I bought a massage as a thank you for my OB. If I would have known how wonderful the massage was going to be, I would have been going twice a month through out my pregnancy.

Great place for someone looking for TLC. Peaceful, comfy ambiance. VERY appreciative for being seen at the last minute, but I was looking & needed a deeper tissue massage, especially after playing a tough game of ball at 50+ years old in the hot sun. I had something different in mind.

I never actually stepped foot into this place but I want to give them a 5 star review based on the fact that we had a 2 pm app and we thought it ws at 3 but either way was that there was a HUGE mix up between my bf and I and we had to cancel 1/2 hr before app (would never do this to them intentionally) The girl that answered the phone (Tina?) was soo understanding and nicely said that they had been waiting for us since 2 & I guess they were wondering where we are at.

I expected a lecture but instead she very nicely said they understood and hopefully we can come back and visit them in the future. Definitely left a good taste in our mouths and we will for sure come back for services.
