GoogleI sunk into an incredible invitation to be nurtured and nourished through Aliesha’s extraordinary shiatsu experience. I felt seen and heard during the massage and came away somehow floating and grounded at the same time. The space was beautiful and felt incredibly safe to open up. Thank you Machiya - I will be back 🤍
My subsequent visits to Machiya were just as delightful as my first and I intend to continue my self-care journey in this calm and restful environment. Combined with regular Pilates and now shiatsu massage my lower back does feel more free and less tense. I highly recommend the delightful practitioner Ruby.
My shiatsu session was just what I needed. I feel so calm and relaxed afterwards. Thank you Ruby for a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next appointment
Absolutely earth-shatteringly good! As someone who does work with bodies - to find somewhere to be held, rocked and nurtured is so important and I have officially found the spot! The care, thought and intention behind the treatments at Machiya allows you to leave everything outside the treatment space to just BE. So thankful for my experience and I found myself shouting Machiya's praise from the rooftops to all my friends and family and now Google!
