I had a lovely massage with Taylor this morning. The sauna room was a very relaxing addon and my massage was fantastic. Thank you for a great experience, I look forward to coming back
Taylor is seriously magical. All of my tension collects in my neck, shoulders, and upper back, and it had gotten to the point of no return (it hurt to turn my head). I'd generally opt for a deep tissue massage, but decided to try the Myofascial Listening and Release and OH MY GOOD LORD, unfurl it did! Immediately after the massage, I felt an immense amount of relief, but I still had a little bit of pain. Each day that followed the pain lessened until it was gone completely. This massage was both satisfying in a way that getting at your tense muscles feels, but it was also relaxing and felt good (not my experience with deep tissue massages). Taylor is deeply in tune with your body as he's working with you. Highly recommend. I will be back!
I got a massage from Taylor this morning and oh my goodness. He intuitively knew what to work on, and hit pressure points I badly needed to be activated. I will definitely be back! Loved the sauna experience too. 10/10 🤩
Taylor did an amazing job for my TMJD and Jaw tightness, they were very precise and took lots of time and care on me, I highly recommend this place to anybody having neck / jaw tightness because the massage I got here was absolutely amazing!! The clinic itself works very hard to promote a relaxing atmosphere. Massage is one of the best treatments for TMJD so anyone in my position should definitely give Raven Bodywork a try!
Gabriel is a superb practitioner, I can't recommend them highly enough. They've been able to relieve chronically tight areas, and identify interrelated structural issues I wasn't aware of yet. They're inquisitive, considerate, and bring very warm and welcoming energy to the space. Go see them, you won't be disappointed :).
I've been going here for 3+ years, and have had many massages with Gabe and Taylor. They each have their own styles, but you can't go wrong because they are both amazing healers. They help me so much with my neck pain. I feel so completely safe, relaxed on the table here. They always ask good questions about what I want for my massage, and are so attuned to what is happening in my body and what needs attention. I always recommend them to my friends. Get a massage here!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!!! I just can’t say enough wonderful things about Both Gabriel and Taylor!!! These two are the most exceptional massage therapists I’ve ever seen…and let me tell you, I’ve seen many! Both Gabriel and Taylor deeply listen, attune to the challenging needs of my chronically ill and pain-filled body, and are both so incredibly skilled and talented!!! I’ve always had the highest level of care with both of them…I don’t know what I would do without Raven Bodywork!!! They are also both gems of Humans! I always look forward to my appointments and time with both of them. Definitely support this queer/trans owned business!!! The best in Seattle!! 🥰🥳🥰🥳🥰
I have been coming to see Taylor at Raven Bodywork for a couple of years and truly can’t recommend him highly enough. I have a hypermobile condition so have to be very, very careful not to overly-loosen my muscles and he works with me to figure out what works to get me the relief I’m looking for without it causing other issues. Both he and Gabe are fat positive, HAES-aligned practitioners and purposefully have a table with a high body weight limit to give better access to massage for folks in larger bodies. I’m not sure if they have arm extensions for the table to help accommodate bodies of size but worth an ask if that would be helpful for you- I imagine if they don’t have them, they would likely be open to getting them!
Taylor does amazing work! He finds all the sore spots, even ones I’m not even aware of until he’s massaging them. He provides good explanation on what areas are tight and suggestions on what areas we can try working on to release tightness. Highly recommend.
Gabe is very attuned and skillful in the touch they share with clients. I have been seeing them for body work since 2019 and I always leave feeling like my body has been deeply listened too and I often receive something I didn't even know I needed. In particular I received an intra-oral massage from them for the first time and I feel like it really opened up pathways to release tension in my neck, face and jaw. 100% Recommend. It's worth it, you're worth it.
