Testimonials

Gathered by Chen from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Sept. 20, 2024 in San Diego, CA (mobile)

Chen is an amazing massage therapist for so many reasons.

His technique is amazing and he is able to hone in on the parts that need the most attention almost like he is in tune with your body. His kindness and bright soul makes you feel warm and well taken care of. Some people can do Massage therapy because they know what to do as for the mechanics, Tao brings it to a whole different level.

I highly recommend you use Toa as I will every time I’m visiting the area. A day later after my visit, my aches and pains are gone, my spiritual state, and my general mood feel light and elevated.

It’s a rarity to find this type of professional. Highly recommend.!!

Had my third massage from magical Chen yesterday and just when I thought he could not get any better he did! I have had many massages in my life but Chen is the first masseuse that has been able to pinpoint the crux of my pain and tackle it. I feel like I have a new body! Chen is truly a gifted healer

Chen is genuinely one of the best massage therapists I have ever been to, and I have been getting massages for a long time. I was shocked that within one session he decreased my headaches from daily to only a couple of times a week. I would highly recommend him to anyone, both for his work and how he really cares about each of his clients. I will definitely keep seeing him!

I feel like there are generally two types of massages: ones that feel nice, and ones that actually heal you. Chen somehow managed to find a perfect blend of the two. He worked through knots that have caused chronic pain but I was never in pain or uncomfortable during the process.

He was methodic with different techniques and pressures, and I absolutely plan on going back for more sessions.
Thank you Chen!

The two hour massage is a MUST DO,
Chen discovered knots I didn’t know I had.
He was very thorough and careful in each part of my body, I felt sooo good after my session. Definitely coming back, Thank you Chen :)
