Yu Chin and Johnathan are hands down my favorite massage therapists!! I see Yu Chin more frequently these days-- I have dealt with some pretty significant hip and shoulder injuries, and every single time I see her, I walk out feeling like a new person. Her deep tissue work is incredibly skilled, intuitive, and effective. She always seems to find exactly what needs attention and helps my body feel better in a way that lasts. As an added bonus, she's also a stand-up comedian, so appointments often come with a good laugh too. Every session leaves me feeling both physically and mentally nourished. If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and genuinely cares about helping people feel their best, I cannot recommend Earth and Muscle more!

I have had 4 massages from Jonathan and all have been very impactful! For decades I've had to ask massage therapist to ton it up in pressure and never with Jonathan, he's excellent at deep tissue work and also toning it back to just where you need it! I'll be a life long customer, I've been very pleased!

I’m so grateful to my friend who referred me to Yu Chin at Earth & Muscle. As an older athlete I had rotator cuff and IT band issues. Yu Chin was very effective just in our first 90 minute session at improving range of motion and muscle function. Looking forward to continued progress with her help.

Jonathan is an absolute magician with his hands. I could never recommend him strongly enough. I started seeing him after a vehicle accident and he ended up helping me with other issues I've had for 8 years that nobody else could figure out what to do with besides throw opiods at it. He is extremely fairly priced for his services and is beyond professional. Please give him a try if you're looking for someone...

Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable and I always walk out feeling taller. I really appreciate his blend of quiet and important explanations throughout the session and this work helps me continue doing the sports I love.

If something is super tight, you gotta come to Earth and Muscle. They are very educated on massage and the way our bodies work. Excellent experience everytime.

One of the most intuitive practitioners I have seen in my time. Jonathan not only finds out what is wrong, working the chain of muscles that need work, but his pressure is always spot on. He can somehow tell when I'm about to pull away or "tap out" from the pressure and time spent on an offending muscle, he then moves on to muscles around it only to come back to the original offender and when he does, I can tell things have loosened up greatly. I go for the sports style massage as my career and hobbies are hard on my body, but I would imagine that Johnathan is just as good at any of the modalities he offers; he's a professional and I like showing up there.

Jonathan is a highly skilled therapist, he has an intuitive sense for pressure, creative technique and a deep knowledge of the body. He also happens to be a lovely human who has curated a beautiful comfortable space.

I had a deeply therapeutic session with this massage therapist. His work is highly skilled and technically precise, and it’s clear he has extensive knowledge of the human body. The session supported my body in releasing holding patterns that needed attention. I also appreciated that he took time both before and after the session to connect and make sure the work aligned with what I needed. I would strongly recommend him for injury support, chronic tension, or anyone seeking focused therapeutic bodywork.
