The Bold Massage

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

As my first time getting a massage, I was surprisingly nervous and not sure what to expect. I heard about Jeff from a friend and decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did!

Jeff is welcoming and he helped orient me with clear expectations that put me at ease. The space had gentle lighting (from candles) and is simple and clean. The massage itself was both gentle and deep, and I felt so relaxed it was like a dream.

Definitely going back to Jeff for my next massage!

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 a great Masseur. He focuses on individual needs of the client and customizes the massage with utmost professionalism and care. In every session, he worked with me to understand the problem areas, what worked in the past and what did not and ensured that he customized the massage & focused on the problem areas. He is very receptive to making adjustments based on client's need. The studio is very cute and conveniently tucked in the mission district. After every massage, I felt fully relaxed and muscles felt great for days. I highly recommend him!

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.

I had such a great massage with Jeff! The space is super quaint and welcoming, he has an amazing intuition about touch, and he is super friendly! Basically everything you want in a great massage you get with Jeff! Check him out!
