Testimonials
Today I not only enjoyed my massage, but I was also so relaxed at one point that I almost fell asleep. I have never enjoyed a massage in my life until I met Shari. Her unique massage technique is wonderful, and she is completely in tune with what every person, as an individual, needs. My favorite part is when she uses the hot stones on my back. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!! - Kerry S.
I was lucky enough to get a massage from Shari, last Friday. She was so sweet to accommodate me just a bit later in her schedule than she normally works, and the massage was the perfect end to my week. I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and I've been having trouble with some pain in my mid-back and sore legs from the extra baby weight. We sat down when I arrived and she took the time to understand where I was hurting and explained her approach to massage, and her plan of action for my 90-minute massage. I felt so comfortable the entire time. She checked in with me often to see if the pressure was too much or too little or just right. The 90 minutes was absolute bliss and I felt so good when I left. Energized, but also super relaxed, which made for a wonderful night's sleep that evening. I will be booking another massage with Shari again before this baby comes, and I have a feeling I'll be back to see her once in a while after my baby arrives, too! -Jacquee N.
I absolutely agree with everything said by previous reviewers. Shari is by far the best massage therapist I've ever been to - and I've been getting regular massages for almost 20 years due to a chronic cervical neck condition that I have. It is amazing how she knows just where to zero in with her fingers after I've explained my latest aches or pains in addition to my neck issue. I love the myofascial release technique and the warm stones she uses and the hot towels afterwards. Shari has more tools in her massage repertoire than anyone I've ever known - and she knows just how to use them! Did I mention what a sweet and caring person she is??? I, too, give Shari my highest recommendation. No need to look further, call Shari now for the best massage experience of your life! - Debbie S.
Shari is amazing. She creates an environment of tranquility. And she's super knowledgeable and intuitive both medically and spiritually. One of the best massages I've had in a long time. -Laura S.
It’s rare to find a professional therapist who takes the time to get to know the client's medical history. Before each session, Shari communicates with me to discuss any limitations or problem areas that determine goals for the massage. With this approach, she delivers great results and in addition to being enjoyable, there are countless systemic benefits! In addition, Shari has remarkable strength and can provide excellent deep tissue massage with great stamina. She is also familiar with myofascial release and hip flexor techniques. I highly recommend Shari for your massage therapy needs! -Herb S.
I am incredibly particular about massages and Shari is by far the best massage therapist I have ever used. Her massage techniques are amazing with the perfect amount of pressure. She doesn't just offer a massage; she is actually helping to balance my body and help work out the problem areas. In addition to being very professional, Shari takes the time to understand your medical history and body limitations. She takes everything into consideration in order to make proper recommendations on treatment. Shari is also very knowledgeable and constantly furthers her education to better serve her clients. I started seeing Shari when I was undergoing chemotherapy for blood cancer. Before our first session, she had educated herself about limitations that my body might have with the treatments I was having. To me, this showed the highest level of customer service and the massage matched her passion. -Marjeri S.
I have been going to Shari for many years and there is a reason for that... She is so good! But there are many reviews that talk about how great her massages are (which they are!) but you should also know of what a good person she is. She is a good soul and very easy to communicate with. She is simply one of the best! - Chris A.
I can honestly say I've never found a better massage therapist than Shari. She is skilled and knowledgeable and has helped me through a number of back and sports related issues. She truly has a gift of healing as she can zero in on exactly where the issue resides and applies just the right amount of pressure to work the "knots" out. I've been very impressed with her holistic approach to health and therapy. I give her my highest recommendation. -Ailene M.
Shari treated my elderly mother in her last months. My mother described the treatments as "heavenly," and it was very clear that the massages helped her feel much much better and more relaxed! Later, Shari very kindly consented to help me. Shari can deploy different types of massage, depending upon the situation. I rarely have to say much about a spasm or pain that needs treatment: She finds it and fixes it. She is a highly trained, yet gentle and caring professional. Shari is the best! - Rick A.
I have received several massages with Shari, and she is by far the best massage therapist you could ask for. Her skill and understand of my needs was better than any other massage therapist I have gone to. I highly recommend her services for people with any needs. -John J.
A massage with Shari is one of the best things you can do for yourself! Shari's fingers have been working their magic for 10 + years. Her techniques are spot on and she can adapt to your special and specific needs. Her clients include young, pregnant women, professional athletes, and those of us with “GOA" (general old age) issues that eventually afflict us all. After all, 60 isn't the new 40 without some help! Massage should be more than a special occasion treat. It should be part of our regular health maintenance routine. I highly recommend Shari as an exceptional massage therapist. -Janet M.
Shari is hands down the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She is proficient in body healing as well as relaxation massage. She's a consummate professional and a true massage therapy specialist. I highly recommend Shari for anyone lucky enough to get an appointment. Please note, she focuses primarily on women. - Oleg F.
I have had massages (at much higher prices) at many resorts and spas in the U.S. and other countries, and while they may be good, nothing compares to Shari of Rancho Bernardo Massage. Her knowledge of her craft is second to none and I always leave feeling great. She is experienced with many issues and ailments, even certified with prenatal massage (which I did take advantage of when pregnant!). Whether I am looking to just relax and relieve stress, or work on a physical issue, Shari listens to you and to your body. I just wish I could go more frequently!! -Kristin O.
