Stef was absolutely amazing. She’s attentive, caring, and truly talented—she made me feel completely comfortable from the start. I left the massage feeling so relaxed, renewed, and like my whole body had reset. If you’re looking for someone who really listens and delivers an incredible massage experience, Stef is the one. Highly recommend!

I did the ashiatsu massage with Stephanie and had an amazing experience! Booking online was simple and quick. I got a confirmation text instantly. The office is located in a cool old Victorian house in Golden Hill. Plan some extra time for parking as it's a little limited. The suite is on the very top floor up a few flights of stairs, you can't miss it. The space was clean and calming, with clean linens and nice air conditioning. The massage had a great combination of deep tissue, more relaxing movements, and stretching. Stephanie was able to focus on some of my problem areas with great results. I highly recommend Kuba Uchi and I will definitely be back.

I was visiting from NY and desperately needed a massage. Being a runner, I’m picky about the areas I need focus on. That said, Kaitlin is experienced, attentive, and the massage she gave (no exaggeration) was easily one of the best I’ve received to date. She applied just the right amount of pressure on all the right spots. Highly recommend Kaitlin and will definitely be returning on my next visit.

I booked a massage with Kaitlin at Kuba Uchi because I needed immediate relief from a very tight and knotted shoulder. I was able to easily book with her and I’ve got to say she did a great job! I’ve had issues with a spot under my shoulder blade for years and she loosened my extremely tight knot. I could barely turn my head before I got there, and by the time I left, I could hardly notice the tightness. If you need a deep tissue massage, she’s the one to do it. The room is in a neat house in Golden Hill. She’s very strong and a definitely knew what she was doing. I don’t get massages very often due to my chaotic schedule but I’m glad I was able to find her. I will definitely book her again and I have recommended her to several people that needed a massage. Book with her, you won’t be disappointed.

I received a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Paris yesterday and I can honestly say it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. She focused on areas where I was having pain such as my lower back and left groin. I booked another appointment before I left, can’t wait to be back! 12/10 recommend SomaSense Bodywork, everyone is so nice!

I got the best massage I've ever had from Victoria at SomaSense. I have a sensitive body and so don't like hard deep massages. in my past experiences this has been difficult for therapists who are not used to clients needing such a gentle touch. Victoria not only used the right amount of pressure, but never forgot during the entire 90 minute session. She also never once forgot to stay away from a painful area on my left arm due to a childhood trauma. She expertly rubbed out all my kinks and problem areas, used a variety of sequences and gave a whole body massage that was heavenly. Me and my muscles feel relaxed and refreshed. I booked my second appointment before leaving. She was simply amazing and I can't wait to go back.

★★★★★★★★★★Alicia SanchezAug 2017

I love this place so much! The ambiance is so perfectly relaxing! They're located in the attic of an old Victorian home, so the place has a ton of character. Everyone is knowledgeable and professional. These girls really know how to make everyone feel absolutely at ease. They specialize in ashiatsu, which is a unique type of massage not really found in San Diego. It's so nice! They use their feet a good amount of the time, but it honestly just feels like there are 4 hands! If you're looking for an awesome and unique experience, come here for sure!

SomaSense is the best place in San Diego (and quite possibly the rest of California) to get an ashiatsu/ California barefoot massage! If you've never had one, it can be as deep as you want it and is super relaxing. It's excellent to for big bodies and small bodies alike!! Chikako and Jade are awesome. Everyone there is fantastic, though! They are so knowledgeable and gifted therapists. Also, I love the atmosphere of SomaSense. It's like a little piece of heaven. It's not your average massage studio. It's unique, beautiful, serene, and intimate. It is personalized in every way. They take such good care of you. You are never just a number at SomaSense!

Tina is the best massage therapist ever! She is extremely versatile and moves seamlessly among different body work techniques, all according to what your body needs that day She is very professional and is adept at keeping the parts of your body she is not working on draped and private. The SomaSense studio is invitingly decorated and her choice of background music is soothing, spa-like and never too loud. I highly recommend you give her a try.

I moved to San Diego a little over a year ago. When I found a chiropractor and asked who she would recommend for a massage she said Tina at SomaSense Bodywork was the only person that she would be recommending to anyone who asks. I went to Tina and I was not surprised that my chiropractor would choose her. Not only is Tina a remarkably talented massage therapist but she has constructed her place upstairs in a most inviting historic-looking house. Love the atmosphere as well as the incredible massages. I also saw 2 other therapists there and I highly recommend them as well.
