I haven’t gotten a massage in a long time due to my busy work travel schedule. When I finally was able to lock in an appointment with Jeff it couldn’t have gone better. Detailed, attentive, and thorough with his approach.
I’m looking forward to booking my next appointment.

This was my first ever professional massage and it could not have been better! Jeff really took time to ask me questions, understand what I wanted to get out of the session, and make me feel comfortable before the massage started. And then when the massage started I felt the most relaxed I’ve felt in a long time! Constantly checked in with me for comfortably and really was able to pick up on what did and didn’t feel good. He was amazing and I’m already looking forward to my next session.

It was my first professional massage session, and it was incredible. I have some prior injuries, Jeff made an effort to understand my problems and concerns, and addressed it very well! He walked me through what to expect during the session and made me very at ease to start with. The massage itself was incredible— my muscles are quite tight to start with, Jeff did such an amazing job to loosen it up, I felt brand new walking out of the door after the session. Highly recommended it!

I just moved to the area a few months ago and have struggled to find a good LMT and was referred to Jeff.

His techniques and attention to the body are superior and it feels more like a whole experience than just another massage.

Jeff is a great masseur. He customizes the massage based on individual needs. He is extremely professional. Easy to schedule an appointment with. He listens to you, understand about the problem areas and then focuses on those problem spots. He has a good understanding of body’s anatomy, so at times he has recommended exercises that helped with my back issues later. I highly recommend him.

Jeff was professional, personal, and he creates a comfortable environment for his clients. The space is warm and small. He was able to read what I needed well, without me having to say much. He applied the perfect amount of pressure through the hour long massage. I lift heavy weight often so it felt great to have some of the muscle tissue loosened up. He gave me helpful feedback and it was easy to pay on the iPad. I will be seeing him as my go to guy from now on

Jeff is great!
He made me comfortable immediately in a very safe, respectful, soothing and clean environment.
In terms of the massage itself, he was very focused on understanding the nature of my needs and adapting his approach to the massage therapy to suit in a very mindful manner. I also appreciated that he focused on teaching me tricks and tips afterwards to treat myself to create a more sustainable solution for me.
Jeff is also fun to talk to during the massage - we talked about all sorts of topics during our time together.

I was referred to Jeff by another massage therapist who was out of town and unable to see me. A recommendation from someone in the business counts for a lot and Jeff absolutely lived up to, and exceeded, my expectations. Jeff makes you feel comfortable and welcome and his technique is divine. His sweet personality is also a big plus! I truly felt like he was establishing a connection during our session and not just going through the motions. I loved my first session so much I made a second appointment for my birthday a few weeks later.

Going to a masseur for the first time can be a pretty daunting task because if they're terrible, you could be stuck for an hour on the table, cursing every person who gave the place a good review and counting down the seconds until you get to run back home. That, is a lot of seconds.
Luckily for me, Jeff was fantastic! I came in with a pain in my left lower back due to overtraining that refused to ease up even after staying away from the gym for 10 days and getting a (really expensive) sports massage at a fancy place in the city. Jeff heard me out, asked some questions and quickly got to work. The massage itself felt really relaxing at the time but the best thing about it was when I woke up the next day, the pain was almost gone. A couple more days and I was back in the gym enjoying my back squats again. I also appreciated him going over the 1 hour time slot to explain some of the things I could be doing to help reduce the pain.
He's friendly, the place is welcoming, the playlist is great and the massage is awesome. I couldn't have asked for more!

Jeff is very thoughtful about how he approaches your massage based on your needs and limitations. He helped me to pay attention to the places I was holding tension, and spent some time with me at the end of the session talking about ways I could move forward more mindfully.
I felt really cared for, and appreciate the serene space he provides. At times I felt like I was floating, and I left with a feeling of well being. I think this guy is a healer, seriously.

Jeff is absolutely amazing!
As a small business owner of a local flower shop I am constantly on my feet covered in dirt and exhaustion. Despite the 18 hour days and back breaking creative work I have never in my life had a massage. My partner decided it was time and booked me a surprise birthday massage at the bold massage.
I was incredibly nervous and had no idea what to expect going in to it but Jeff was perfect. He made me feel so welcome and comfortable. The massage itself was literally like nothing I had ever experience, words can't describe how fantastic I felt during and afterwards.
Needles to say my partner and I are now both regulars and would recommend it to anyone looking for some needed self care!

Jeff is an exceptional massage therapist. The whole process was seamless, responsive, professional, and tranquil.
Booking an appointment was without hurdles and Jeff's responsiveness about questions is prompt. Jeff made me feel at ease right when I walked into his studio with a warm smile and comforting nature.
The massage itself was incredibly uplifting and soothing. Jeff takes the time to check-in about the pressure throughout the massage and is systematic with his technique and flow. At the time, I was biking a lot and he made sure to tailor the session to those specific needs. I would describe the massage as both ethereal and alleviating. Go get one now!

Hands down the best massage therapist I've met. Before meeting Jeff, I had tried about a dozen different massage therapists in and around San Francisco but did not go a second time; most of them were "pretty good" but I didn't leave with the sense that I absolutely needed to return. I have now been to The Bold Massage three times and plan on continuing regularly. Jeff is well-trained in many massage modalities and I find his input and wellness guidance to be very helpful. My last two visits, I was dealing with pain flares in my right hip; I think Jeff struck a great balance with working the hips in a productive/effective way without exacerbating pain in the area. I felt significantly better the next day in terms of increased mobility and less pain.
Other details about The Bold Massage that make it stand out positively:
-10% discount on your next massage if you book your appointment at the end of your massage
-Frequent specials (e.g. 10-25% off) for booking packages or return appointments
-Clean, modern studio in the Mission
-Good range of availability morning-evening Tuesday-Saturday
-Easy to use online booking system
