Amber is incredibly gifted intuitively and skillfully as she watched and felt what facia need to be released in all areas of my back. I
noticed immediately relief in my sciatica issues in my left leg. I highly recommend her work.
Maria M. 12/14/09
Gotta go back soon!!!! I loved the massage, it was helping me with my tensions and I felt great several days after the massage. The
environment was clean and professional.
Lena B. 12/17/09
Amber was awesome! Worked on my pinched nerve just a little during a relaxation massage and I've been pain free all week! Highly
recommended...highly skilled!
J. Langston 12/10/09
Cara was flexible enough to fit me in after a morning filled with challenges. She was kind, intuitive and knowledgeable as she
focused on the areas I was feeling pain or holding tension. She's one of the few LMTs who actually seem to guage their pressure
according to how I responded. Afterwards she gave me stretching ideas to use at work. Thank you!Cara was flexible enough to fit

M. Morehead 12/9/09
I got a massage from Cara and it was one of the best I had. I had just ran a marathon and my muscles were tight and sensitive. Care
was great at loosing my muscles up without making me uncomfortable. She was really nice and I def plan on going back.
K. Fike 12/2/09
Cara was a great masseuse. My boyfriend loved the massage (it was his first time), and she even offered tips on how to stretch out
muscles he had complained about.
J. Felton 11/30/09
Amber really listened to what I wanted, and did such a great job. She has a great touch. I left with the kins softened, and feeling
quite relaxed. I'll go again.
M. Herbig 11/11/09
Tari Dean is a wonderful massage therapist. I am a repeat customer and I go to Tari because she is patient, skilled, thoughtful and
trustworthy. If you need a good massage therapist, schedule with Re-Leaf! You won't be disappointed!
K. Anderson 10/25/09
Very relaxing and just what I needed. I was very pleased with the service and professionalism. I will be going back and have already
recommended them to several of my friends!
Courtney 10/18/09
I finally decided on getting my first massage yesterday and am thrilled I did! The entire experience was blissful: relaxing and
extremely therapeutic to muscular issues I've had in my neck and back. I left feeling the best I had in a very long time and can't wait
to return.
E. Mott 9/29/09
My husband and I have both had several massages here, some for relaxation and some for medical purposed, we have always been
extremely pleased with the services and talents of each of Terry's team. I would definitely recommend them to any of our friends!
Ellsa 9/1/09
Relaxing atmosphere; Tari listens well and really targets what you need worked on. Her deep tissue technique is really top-notch.
Going to sign up for her wellness program (1 or 2 massage(s) per month deeply discounted if you pre-pay for 3 or 12 months).
Definitely recommend Re-Leaf.
C. DeMaria 9/1/09
this was a great relaxing massage. Clean, friendly, professional, safe, definitely relaxing. Can't say enough good things about it. Give
their first timer package a try -49 for 60 minutes- its really worth it.
M. Mancuso 8/25/09
A great experience. Amber was amazing and very helpful. Re-Leaf has a very relaxing atmosphere and I felt comfortable right away.
I am definitely going back. K. Davis 8/20/09
I've been an annual wellness plan holder for over 2 years. If you're looking for massage therapy to recover from injury or just to relax,
Re-Leaf is the best!
Kent C. 9/20/09
I've been going to Releaf Massage for several months and have seen both Tari and Heidi. Both are wonderful. I've been getting
massages for years and have not found anyone better than either of them even tho I've often paid much more. Tari has given me
great neck relief. I have been seeing Heidi since doing chemo and leave there feeling completely relaxed and much happier than
when I walk in.
Nancy N. 6/2/09
I have been to multiple therapists here and each time each person amazes me in a different way.. particularly in their intuitive
finding of problem spots I don't even describe because I don't know how. I recently committed to monthly visits (for the first time
ever for me), simply because it truly is healing.. everyone should go.
Carina 3/23/09
Tari is a wonderful and attentive massage therapist. She pays attention to details from top to bottom. She made me feel welcome
first thing, asked me questions, and put me at ease. She guided my breathing to relax in the aromatherapy, which helped me feel
present and allowed me to truly be affected by the massage from the beginning. Her massage was firm (as I requested), but she
always paid attention to my body's reaction to it. She possesses an innate sense of what my back needs.
Trudy M. 3/19/09
Amber took the time to listen, asked helpful questions, understood my pain, found my trigger points and after, provided honest
recommendations for further treatment, even self-help tips. She took my pain seriously, put all her effort into the healing process and
I felt true, advanced, professional Re-Leaf!! Unbelievable. I have been to quality spas and never received such a perfect massage. I
could tell Amber was knowledgeable and current in her field of practice. I'll be back for sure. Sara 2/4/09
Aromatherapy and the knots worked out of my neck/shoulders. Doesn't get any better. Oh wait it does, they take insurance.
EB 11/15/08
I just had a Treatment Massage with Amber. She was so thorough. She tailored the massage to my specific needs and was
incredibly intuitive. It was both a therapeutic and relaxing experience. Easily on of the best massages I’ve ever had.
Ann Rice 11/12/08
Re-Leaf excellent! beautiful little spa in Wallingford, amber gave me the best massage ever! Very competitive prices, excellent
location, clean and neat, fully deserved five stars.
Barbara N. 11/3/08
Very, very thorough and balanced session. Amber is a really good listener, very sensitive to how your body reacts. I highly
recommend her as a quality massage therapist.
Cynthia D. 10/24/08
Tari did such a fabulous job! I had a lot of tension in my neck but I feel a 100% better now that I've had a massage. She did a super
job. I highly recommend and I am definitely going back. Thank you!
Kim C. 10/20/08
I had a great massage with Amber. I had been holding a lot of stress in my back and had soreness in my legs from exercise. I felt
100% better after the massage!
Zanne Garland 10/17/08
I had a wonderful stone massage. It was my first hot stone massage and my first at ReLeaf massage. I will be back on both accounts.
Great location, great space.
Noelle P. 10/14/08
Really enjoyed the experience, would like to become a regular customer. I was greatful for being seen on the day the service was
needed. Will return. Thanks so much.
Emily Martinez 10/3/08
I've seen several Re-Leaf Massage Therapists (at both locations) & I've ALWAYS been very, very happy. I relish massage, as I do too
much computer work and also a lot of fun running sports - so I'm extremely THRILLED to have found a Re-Leaf. No matter which
therapist I've seen, the result has always been the same: competent, caring, & capable therapy. Their standards are high and I’ll
always go back!
M.L. 9/25/08
I absolutely loved my massage. I was full of stress and went for the full 90 min session rather than my usual 60 mins. I was thankful for
every minute! The stress was turned into relaxed muscles and pure happiness. I highly recommend Re-Leaf Massage as they really do
a fabulous job! Thanks to Daniela!
Jennifer L. 9/10/08
I love Tari, she is fabulous. She also has amazing massage therapists working for her company - I have had an appt with one, and she
was fabulous, too! I have no complaints and all kudos to Releaf Massage. Plus it's so easy to book out 3 or 6 months on her web site,
and have it prepaid by paypal.
C. Schricker 9/4/08
I discovered Re-Leaf massage on my way to Smash Wine bar on 45th. Introductory massages are $50! I booked a massage with
Tari and thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed her calm personality and ability to give me a very smooth and fluid massage! The
aromatherapy was very nice and added to the calm atmosphere. Her twelve and three-month plans are a great deal! I think next
time I will "upgrade" to the deep tissue to achieve greater depth. Tari's prices are reasonable, booking online is a breeze and she
left me wanting an additional hour of relaxation! Thank you!
Kyle N. 8/3/08
Best I Have Felt In A REALLY LONGTIME
This is the best experience I have had. I have only had one other message and i don't recall that experience leaving me feeling
soooo gooood for sooooo long. Tari is absolutely incredible! I am going to be a regular client. I recommend this treatment for
everyone who has even the littlest stress or just wants to be pampered. I just love the aromatherapy and soft music, candles very
professional, clean and tidy. I have been telling everyone I know I look forward to more of Tari's pampering.
Julie Y. 7/28/08
Tari is great! I have had massages at a number of places before and she's the best I've found in Seattle. I was advised to try regular
massage therapy because of frequent headaches and, being new to the area, my doctor recommended another practice that
accepts my insurance. After a few really bad massages in a VERY clinical environment, I decided that I would look elsewhere to see
if I could find someone who better combined the aromatherapy and relaxing environment of a spa that I was totally missing while
meeting my clinical needs (and who could bill my insurance). I think the space itself really helps me to relax and Tari's style of
communication is great! She always asks what my needs are before my session, and after the massage is over, she always asks how
everything went. She also gives great suggestions about stretches to help relieve muscle stiffness and tension in between massage
treatments.
I actually sent my boyfriend to Tari for a massage last week because of an injury (and he's always said he hates massages and they
don't work for him). He had nothing but great things to say about Tari as well! I think he was surprised that a massage could be so
good and helpful!
Emily L. 6/29/08
Go here. You will go back, again and again. My experience with Re-Leaf Massage was (and continues to be!) off the hook. Great.
Awesome. Excellent.
The place is conveniently located w/off-street parking, it's very well-priced (get the wellness plan), and the massage practitioners
KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR BODY AND MIND find that link to bliss. This is no sissy massage spot, it's for people who want to reconnect
with their bodies, replenish their spirits, and feel that magic that massage is all about.
I find myself on her table, POSITIVELY MELTING because somehow she's working that giant glute muscle into putty, and I'm lost in the
moment, totally "in" my body, totally feeling alive and not just relaxed, but rejuvenated.
She's connected the right aroma therapy (essential oils) to my body-mind rejuvenation experience, the table is nice and warm, the
sheets are clean and smell nice, the walls are nicely painted, the space is put together in a comfortable, welcoming & engaging
way that feels 'complete' (and this is coming from me, a down-to-earth soccer-playing snowboarder who doesn't necessarily have
any overblown 'flair' or 'attraction' to the holisticy mumbo-jumbo-ish crap that so often pervades the 'now' yoga spot or massage
studio) - what I'm saying is, it's a really nice, comfortable place with all the fixin's for you go get your body, your mind, and (yes, it's
true) your WHOLE SELF feeling ALIVE again.
Not just relaxed.
Not just rejuvenated.
But renewed.
So. It's time for a massage. Another one. It's easy to book, using phone, email, or online (so easy!). In essence, I've never found a
massage spot that really keys into the WHOLE EXPERIENCE like Tari and her staff do. So give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!
Chipper A. 4/11/08
I found Tari through Yelp, so it's time to give back! I made a new year's resolution to get a monthly massage, and Re-Leaf suits my
needs perfectly. The package deals are affordable, the atmosphere is calming and it's easy to book an appointment. Tari has a
great attitude--caring, concerned and ready to focus on any pain or problem you are having. She tailors the experience to your
needs and makes sure that you walk out of the session relaxed and rejuvenated!
Megan M. 4/6/08
Tari listens and works with all aches and muscle twinges you may be experiencing. Even if you just want a relaxing massage and
aren't feeling any pains in particular -- Tari is awesome.
Amy M. 3/29/08
Tari does such a great job listening to me explain what I am feeling in my body. Then she does a great job of focusing on those areas.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Rachel F. 3/27/08
I felt like a boneless chicken. Tari is absolutely fantastic. Her massage makes me want to melt into the table, but also feels like we
are making progress working some of the kinks out. I love how she incorporates aromatherapy into the session. This facility (First Hill
Clinic) is new and clean, but parking is challenging - plan on paying for the garage or give yourself extra time to locate hard to find
street parking.
Jeanie A. 3/13/08
I am still drooling from my massage today. So I am keeping this short.
Super Clean? Check
Professional? Check
Fair prices? Check
Will I tell anyone and everyone I know, including people on the street? Check!!!
I am putting Tari on speed dial.
Ange D. 3/4/08
I loved my 90 minute mix of hot stone and traditional Swedish massage.
Jackie C. 1/29/08
Very good massage from Tari. I left relaxed and feeling great.
Mike B. 1/25/08
Always appreciate the professional attentiveness to scheduling, follow-up, and ambiance. Massage techniques are excellent -- the
primary reason I keep coming back!
Kim P. 1/1/08
I spoke to Tari over the phone, and she was exceptionally nice. I was making the appointment for my fiancé,and she asked some
questions about why he was coming in, his history and best of all, really seemed to WANT our business! Because of just her
professional way of treating people over the phone, I feel like my fiancé is going to be in very good hands. Also, Re-leaf takes
insurance and you can make your own appointments online. Cool.
Anna C. 2/19/08
Tari opened a new facility where I work for massage and made it so convenient to "take care of myself". She is excellent in what she
does and I feel completely refreshed after one hour of pure bliss. My daughter and best friend also sing her praises. I would highly
recommend Tari and her new associate for an hour of relaxation.
I also love her packages that make her sessions more affordable.I think the 3 month package was my daughters favorite Christmas
present. 2 convenient and great locations!
Cyndi P. 12/30/07
Don't bother going to expensive spas where you may or may not get a decent massage- just head to Wallingford (or her new First
Hill location!) and see Tari!! Re-leaf is excellent!! I'm extremely picky about massages and Tari and her studio totally won me over in
one visit. She is professional and extremely capable and her space is peaceful and relaxing. You can purchase packages online at
really great rates, which is super convenient. You can also "give" the monthly massages to a friend or family member if you can't
use it yourself- great holiday present for my visiting mother!!
Rinn S. 12/12/07
I have been seeing Tari about once every other week for about 3 months and been extremely satisfied with the massage and body
work. I've had massage most of my adult life and Tari is among the best around. She is sensitive to your particular needs and the
facility in Wallingford is first rate. I would recommend this service to anyone.
Bennet M. 9/21/07
My sister treated me to a massage for my Birthday and I'm so glad we found Tari. It was pure bliss. She's a true professional and my
sis and I discussed that we'll definitely be back..perhaps even sign up for one of her great massage packages, which are transferable
in case you can't make a month. If I can't make time to get the massage, I can give it away to my husband or a friend to have in
my place. Who does that? It's great, really. Thank you sista!
Elizabeth M. 9/15/07
My jaw was KILLING me after a rough dental surgery. Nothing I did - pills, heating pads, ice, self-indulgent whining, staring helplessly in
the mirror at my jaw, looking up at the sky and praying to the gods for relief -- helped.
Until I went to Tari Dean.
I'm not trying to say she's magic. There's nothing woo woo about her. She's all sweet and calm business, sits you down and finds out
where you hurt, lets you whine for a second, and then you're in her deliciously clean and wonderful studio with some soothing scent
and Tari's hands on your sore parts.
60 minutes later? My jaw ached but was relaxed. 4 hours later? It felt a little better. 24 hours later? Awesome! I could actually smile.
I've been back twice, sent a tired chef friend there for his birthday (he was a happy noodle afterwards). I heart Tari, and not just
because she offers discount cards if you refer someone else.
Heather W. 8/20/07
Tari Dean is an incredibly talented therapist! Her massages are by far, the BEST I have ever received! She has a gift, an aura about her
that just exudes a calming, positive energy. After my appts, I feel 100% better, almost like a completely different person; it's
amazing. She is mindful & accommodating, & makes sure you feel so comfortable and at home. Tari has also provided mobile chair
massages for my friend's bridal party; which was so awesome, so I requested her to give chair massages at my own bridal party too!
It was fantastic, she is very sweet and professional. I highly recommend her services; you will not be disappointed! In fact, I recently
joined her 12-month membership, and I am able to enjoy massages on a monthly basis -- this is the BEST investment in myself EVER!
THANK YOU, TARI!!!
Kay A. 8/17/07
I don't want to go to a fancy fru-fru spa to get a massage. I want a convenient location and an unpretentious studio. The studio is in
the basement of an old Wallingford home, which has been perfectly converted into Tari Dean's massage oasis. As welcoming as
the place, it gets better when you meet the massage therapist. Tari has such a positive energy and calming demeanor which
instantly relaxes you even before the massage begins. Then...there's the hour of heaven when Tari begins her work. She is fantastic. I
especially liked how she asked for feedback on her pressure without blabbing throughout the massage - how annoying that can be.
Tari Dean is very talented and I'd highly recommend that you get on her schedule.
Jackie C. 8/10/07
I don't know about you, but I'm sort of picky about who I let massage me... I like somebody with a good vibe, a great space, and a
great price. Well: I finally found my therapist!! Tari Dean in Wallingford is an amazing massage therapist... my shoulders have never
felt better. Phew. I'd definitely recommend her -- and one amazing thing -- she takes paypal payments through her website. How
cool is that?
Laura S. 7/31/07
noticed immediately relief in my sciatica issues in my left leg. I highly recommend her work.

studio) - what I'm saying is, it's a really nice, comfortable place with all the fixin's for you go get your body, your mind, and (yes, it's
true) your WHOLE SELF feeling ALIVE again.
Not just relaxed.
Not just rejuvenated.
But renewed.
So. It's time for a massage. Another one. It's easy to book, using phone, email, or online (so easy!). In essence, I've never found a
massage spot that really keys into the WHOLE EXPERIENCE like Tari and her staff do. So give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!

I found Tari through Yelp, so it's time to give back! I made a new year's resolution to get a monthly massage, and Re-Leaf suits my
needs perfectly. The package deals are affordable, the atmosphere is calming and it's easy to book an appointment. Tari has a
great attitude--caring, concerned and ready to focus on any pain or problem you are having. She tailors the experience to your
needs and makes sure that you walk out of the session relaxed and rejuvenated!

Tari listens and works with all aches and muscle twinges you may be experiencing. Even if you just want a relaxing massage and
aren't feeling any pains in particular -- Tari is awesome.
Amy M. 3/29/08
Tari does such a great job listening to me explain what I am feeling in my body. Then she does a great job of focusing on those areas.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

I felt like a boneless chicken. Tari is absolutely fantastic. Her massage makes me want to melt into the table, but also feels like we
are making progress working some of the kinks out. I love how she incorporates aromatherapy into the session. This facility (First Hill
Clinic) is new and clean, but parking is challenging - plan on paying for the garage or give yourself extra time to locate hard to find
street parking.

I am still drooling from my massage today. So I am keeping this short.
Super Clean? Check
Professional? Check
Fair prices? Check
Will I tell anyone and everyone I know, including people on the street? Check!!!
I am putting Tari on speed dial.

I loved my 90 minute mix of hot stone and traditional Swedish massage.
Jackie C. 1/29/08
Very good massage from Tari. I left relaxed and feeling great.
Mike B. 1/25/08
Always appreciate the professional attentiveness to scheduling, follow-up, and ambiance. Massage techniques are excellent -- the
primary reason I keep coming back!
Kim P. 1/1/08
I spoke to Tari over the phone, and she was exceptionally nice. I was making the appointment for my fiancé,and she asked some
questions about why he was coming in, his history and best of all, really seemed to WANT our business! Because of just her
professional way of treating people over the phone, I feel like my fiancé is going to be in very good hands. Also, Re-leaf takes
insurance and you can make your own appointments online. Cool.

Tari opened a new facility where I work for massage and made it so convenient to "take care of myself". She is excellent in what she
does and I feel completely refreshed after one hour of pure bliss. My daughter and best friend also sing her praises. I would highly
recommend Tari and her new associate for an hour of relaxation.
I also love her packages that make her sessions more affordable.I think the 3 month package was my daughters favorite Christmas
present. 2 convenient and great locations!

Don't bother going to expensive spas where you may or may not get a decent massage- just head to Wallingford (or her new First
Hill location!) and see Tari!! Re-leaf is excellent!! I'm extremely picky about massages and Tari and her studio totally won me over in
one visit. She is professional and extremely capable and her space is peaceful and relaxing. You can purchase packages online at
really great rates, which is super convenient. You can also "give" the monthly massages to a friend or family member if you can't
use it yourself- great holiday present for my visiting mother!!
Rinn S. 12/12/07
I have been seeing Tari about once every other week for about 3 months and been extremely satisfied with the massage and body
work. I've had massage most of my adult life and Tari is among the best around. She is sensitive to your particular needs and the
facility in Wallingford is first rate. I would recommend this service to anyone.
Bennet M. 9/21/07
My sister treated me to a massage for my Birthday and I'm so glad we found Tari. It was pure bliss. She's a true professional and my
sis and I discussed that we'll definitely be back..perhaps even sign up for one of her great massage packages, which are transferable
in case you can't make a month. If I can't make time to get the massage, I can give it away to my husband or a friend to have in
my place. Who does that? It's great, really. Thank you sista!

My jaw was KILLING me after a rough dental surgery. Nothing I did - pills, heating pads, ice, self-indulgent whining, staring helplessly in
the mirror at my jaw, looking up at the sky and praying to the gods for relief -- helped.
Until I went to Tari Dean.
I'm not trying to say she's magic. There's nothing woo woo about her. She's all sweet and calm business, sits you down and finds out
where you hurt, lets you whine for a second, and then you're in her deliciously clean and wonderful studio with some soothing scent
and Tari's hands on your sore parts.
60 minutes later? My jaw ached but was relaxed. 4 hours later? It felt a little better. 24 hours later? Awesome! I could actually smile.
I've been back twice, sent a tired chef friend there for his birthday (he was a happy noodle afterwards). I heart Tari, and not just
because she offers discount cards if you refer someone else.

Tari Dean is an incredibly talented therapist! Her massages are by far, the BEST I have ever received! She has a gift, an aura about her
that just exudes a calming, positive energy. After my appts, I feel 100% better, almost like a completely different person; it's
amazing. She is mindful & accommodating, & makes sure you feel so comfortable and at home. Tari has also provided mobile chair
massages for my friend's bridal party; which was so awesome, so I requested her to give chair massages at my own bridal party too!
It was fantastic, she is very sweet and professional. I highly recommend her services; you will not be disappointed! In fact, I recently
joined her 12-month membership, and I am able to enjoy massages on a monthly basis -- this is the BEST investment in myself EVER!
THANK YOU, TARI!!!

I don't want to go to a fancy fru-fru spa to get a massage. I want a convenient location and an unpretentious studio. The studio is in
the basement of an old Wallingford home, which has been perfectly converted into Tari Dean's massage oasis. As welcoming as
the place, it gets better when you meet the massage therapist. Tari has such a positive energy and calming demeanor which
instantly relaxes you even before the massage begins. Then...there's the hour of heaven when Tari begins her work. She is fantastic. I
especially liked how she asked for feedback on her pressure without blabbing throughout the massage - how annoying that can be.
Tari Dean is very talented and I'd highly recommend that you get on her schedule.
Jackie C. 8/10/07
I don't know about you, but I'm sort of picky about who I let massage me... I like somebody with a good vibe, a great space, and a
great price. Well: I finally found my therapist!! Tari Dean in Wallingford is an amazing massage therapist... my shoulders have never
felt better. Phew. I'd definitely recommend her -- and one amazing thing -- she takes paypal payments through her website. How
cool is that?
