Culver City OCT 2023 When you're on the hunt for the ultimate massage therapist, you gotta find someone who not only knows their stuff but also has a deep understanding of how our bodies work. Well, lucky me, 'cause I stumbled upon a total rockstar in the field—a third-generation massage therapist whose healing skills blew me away! The moment I stepped into Tricia's therapy room, I could tell she was something special. Her friendly and caring vibe instantly put me at ease, creating the perfect vibe for relaxation and healing. As we chatted about my aches and pains, Tricia really listened, like genuinely cared about my needs and crafted a treatment just for me. The best part about Tricia's magic touch is how she can adapt her techniques to tackle all sorts of issues. Got a nagging neck or back pain from a gnarly injury? No worries! Need to unwind with a chill-out massage? She's got you covered. Tricia's got a whole arsenal of techniques up her sleeve to handle whatever you throw her way. Oh, and let me tell you about the vibe in her therapy space—it's straight-up zen! Soft lights, soothing tunes, and those subtle, mind-blowing scents. It's like stepping into a whole new world where all your stress and worries just melt away. So, if you're on the lookout for a kickass massage therapist who's got mad skills and an intuitive understanding of the human body, do yourself a favor and check her out! Corey LYON F.
VENICE CA. May 2, 2023 Tricia is quite simply the best massage therapist around. She has been working on me for years and I will not go to anyone else. Tricia has resolved several otherwise intractable physical issues for me. Her space is very nice and she is a stellar human being. I would give her 100 stars if I could. Erin A.
Walnut Creek Oct 24, 2022 Gifted, intuitive and just magical...that sums up Tricia and her work. Tricia takes time to ask questions and truly understand your ailments and issues. She is holistic in her approach and is humble about her knowledge. She finds a source of discomfort and gently but purposefully works on it and afterwards educates you about it. She doesn't give a traditional, "scripted" massage; instead she provides personalized, intentional bodywork. Tricia truly has magical, healing hands. I don't mind traveling from the Bay Area, but I wish I lived closer so I can experience her work more often!
Christina P. Costa Mesa, CA 11/23/2022 My absolute favorite massage therapist in LA! Not only does she know her stuff but has helped me tremendously with structural issues in my neck and back that I have been suffering with for over 20 years AND she really cares. A true gem!! 7/16/2018 .Tricia is not only a talented massage therapist but she truly understands and cares about your needs. She knows many different techniques to relax your muscles and ultimately give you an overall relaxing experience. I have scoliosis so my muscles are being pulled in all different directions. I've had pain for 5 months now and have tried many different avenues to relieve my pain but have had little success. I recently started going to Tricia and she has already begun to make my back feel less tight and achy. I feel really hopeful that she will help relieve my upper and middle back and neck pain the more I see her. She is also really sweet and easy to feel comfortable around. CHANEL BEVERLY HILLS

Tricia is so inviting - I felt comfortable immediately. Her massage space is equally warm and inviting. She took time to discuss how she works and asked what my needs / body issues were in an open dialogue. I would love to work with her on a consistent basis, however I'm an out of towner who was fortunate enough to stumble upon other customers awesome reviews. She had a great suggestions on what I can do to help improve my body health. Tricia is a gifted healer, listener and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to staying in touch in the future. B.

Kathryn C. Marina del Rey, CA 6/13/2023 \I've been going to Tricia regularly for several years now, so obviously I am a fan. I have had professional massages for many years, at top resorts around the world all the way down to very minimalist spas. Tricia is among the very best in my opinion. First, she clearly knows her stuff. She demonstrates deep knowledge of anatomy, and is expert in an unbelievable range of body work techniques. She also really listens to you and your feedback about both the current massage and the results from the last one, always building on that input in what she does next. She is scrupulous about hygiene, uses extremely high-quality ingredients, and is just a delight to be around! She could easily charge twice as much, but I really appreciate the fact that she makes her services affordable for those of us who need to see her on a regular basis for health reasons. I recommend Tricia without reservation - enjoy! With Tricia you are truly in great hands. Jasmin B. Parkside, San Francisco, 7/9/2021 I've been to many massage therapists for back pain brought about by a bone marrow extraction surgery. Tricia is by far the most intuitive of the therapists I've had. She can literally tell the points in my body that are sore or in pain without me telling her. Her massages are intense but not painful and relaxing yet effective at breaking down the points of tension. I'm so thankful I found Tricia and now have a treatment plan that's working for me. She's also incredibly personable and kind. You'll love her! July 2018
One of the best massages I've ever had! Personalized and different in the best way, it didn't feel like a choreographed "massage routine" like you find at many places. Really peaceful but at the same time, effective for pain. My back has been bothering me for a while and this is the first time I'm not aware of my lower back every time I move, she really helped me. Tricia is also a lovely person. She's very easy to communicate with and really tailors the massage for both your physical and mental needs. She was able to get me in really quickly and I am so thankful, she was exactly what I needed. DEVON G. VENICE 27th June 2019
While visiting in April, I had sever SI pain. Tricia was amazing. I honestly don't think I would have survived without her healing techniques. She was very cautious not to overwork or overstimulate some muscles where she knew were in pain but could cause more damage. Tricia is a thoughtful and skilled practitioner and I would highly recommend her AND return. KELLI C. ST. CROIX Kelly Z.
Medford, M.A. 5/5/2022 I thank my lucky stars that I found Tricia! I was in a lot of pain in my low back, hips and whole body when I started working with Tricia due to chronic Lyme disease and Tricia helped me immensely! She takes the time to really understand what your issues are and what you need and then works her magic! She is very, very knowledgeable about the body and works to get to the root of your issues. Her hands are so healing and you can feel all of the love & healing she pours into your body. She is hands down one of the best massage therapists I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot!). She also makes sure to keep notes about your progress and checks in after your session to see how you are doing. Her space is quite beautiful & very clean. And most of all she has the most beautiful & caring heart! She cares so much about all of her clients (and about all of the animals in the world!) If you want to treat yourself book in with Tricia! Enjoy! 4/8/2018 Once again you've done magic!!!!!! After my massage yesterday I am feeling lighter, looser, and more relaxed. Thank you for being a life changer, and true healer! Ashley B.

Tricia is my Healer!
She knows the muscles and body so well, and I feel like a brand new person after I walk out. Seriously. I look like one too.
She is also an incredible person and truly cares for her clients tailoring her technique to each individual body.
I am generally very tight and sore because I do a lot of martial arts training. Trisha knows just how to handle all my knots and keep me healthy. I am so lucky to have found her and have been with her now for the last three years!
She is also very affordable and I never have any trouble booking an appointment with her. :)
Does not get better than Trisha! She is a true healer !

This is long overdue since I started seeing Tricia since last fall after a shoulder surgery. It was taking a very long time to heal, and had developed frozen shoulder. Tricia worked carefully on my shoulder and arm in conjunction with my doc's physical therapy plan and I really think it is due to her amazing massage, either pinpointed and deep, or gentle as needed, that has helped me regain almost all of my movement over the past 8 months. She has a thorough knowledge of anatomy but also has great intuition about what areas need work.
My shoulder started to get better as soon as I started seeing her. She also helped me with a hip and leg issue and is extremely focused on healing any issues you might have with patience and kindness. She truly goes above and beyond. She is a gem! Nancy H. Culver City

Tricia is easily the best massage therapist of the many I've seen. She has her own unique technique which helps her intuitively seek out the areas of tension and restrictions in your body.
To top it off, she's a wonderful person who genuinely cares about you and how you feel and is the absolute opposite of the kind of massage therapist who asks about your problem areas then just pretty rolls out their standard massage anyway.
I've been seeing Tricia for six months or so now and every massage is different and customised to how my body is at that time and how it responds and I've seen a lot of improvement in various restrictions. The more you work with Tricia, the more she will figure out what works for you.
Appointments are never rushed and the massage room is a little oasis of calm by the Marina. Most definitely 5 stars ! Anthony P. Venice California

Tricia is by far the best, most gifted massage therapist I have ever been too and certainly in Marina del Rey/LA area. Many other therapist I have been to in the LA area make you feel rushed and they just don't seem to be in touch with what your body needs from a massage standpoint. They keep thinking the same approach works for everyone... This is totally the opposite of the services Tricia provides me!
I am an athlete, train multiple times a week and as a result I have my fair share of aches and pains. Tricia has a very unique way of listening and understanding what I need to address my various injuries or just simply relax. It is obvious she has been trained very well, by her experience to cross over various modalities of care depending on your needs - This experience along with her very caring and intuitive approach is what makes her special.
I have referred her to several of my friends and everyone I know loves her. My only fear though is that she will get too busy and will more difficult to book as people start to realize that she is not with other Spa in the Marina anymore... Even if she does become busy like she has been working for other places, she is worth waiting for!
Last, I am so glad to see she went out on her own and opened up her new place in Marina del Rey in the Oakwood Building - The foot bath, the steam room and the overall ambiance is just super relaxing and a great way to start the massage!

TRICIA is awesome!!!!!!! I mean really good. Both my husband and I see her regularly. She takes her job seriously and she has dealt with minor and major injuries between the two of us. Her space is calm and relaxing. Getting there for the first time is a bit tricky but don't worry you'll get the hang of it swiftly and hopefully make a habit of seeing her. She is not a surface therapist. She is very committed to her clients well-being. I suggest letting her know how and in what way you like to experience your massage. My husband and I want different things and she accommodates us both. We found a real gem with Tricia.
