Everyone at LaVida is so nice! The front desk girls are so bubbly and welcoming every time I come in! I have tried several different therapists in the year or so I have been coming here. Everyone has been wonderful and I eagerly look forward to my next visit every time I leave. Also! They have been taking COVID very seriously and they take extra precautions that make me feel safe every time I come in.

I have been a member at LaVida Massage for several months and am loving my experience. The membership is a great value and the terms are flexible and fair. Their space in the Alaska Junction is welcoming and serene. Soothing music and the soft glow of a salt lamp await you in the quiet treatment rooms.
My ideal massage is medium-firm with equal parts relaxation and targeted muscle work. For me, John strikes the perfect balance. He always asks for areas of focus and then skillfully follows through with precision, professionalism, and care.
Side effects of visiting LaVida include reduced stress, pain relief, and joy!

I’ve been to La Vida a few times and my fiancé has been a member for a few years.
Overall, this is a very relaxing space with incredibly competent and professional therapists. I’m leaving off one star for one reason and that is Alex. Unless you are wanting intensive deep tissue that leaves you bruised and sore for many many days, stay away from Alex. My frustration is that I booked through MINDBODY and was looking for some relaxing self-care on a Saturday afternoon. I expressed my goals several times, but Alex cannot differentiate between his own goals of deep work and my goal of wanting to feel relaxed and taken care of. I have massive bruises on my hips five days later and it’s sore to the touch. His bedside manner needs some improvement too- the bed was not warm, he started off by saying “did they warn you about me?” And he talked the whole time.
I called LaVida to express my concern and they were wonderful. The customer service was lovely, but it’s concerning that there is a therapist that works there that can’t adjust. I work in schools and if I approached every student the same way, it would be the sign of a poor educator. He shouldn’t be randomly booked with new clients.

I’ve been a member for 9 months now and I’m so glad I made that decision! The membership is extremely affordable if you’re getting at least two massages a month (and even just one because their prices are that competitive).
I am continually impressed with the customer service – receptionists are very personable, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. Always a warm welcome!
I have never had a disappointing massage here after seeing four different therapists. Many specialize in different areas and reception is very good at recommending an individual that fits your needs.
Jamila is my absolute favorite massage therapist! Be sure to schedule ahead :

I’ve just recently started getting regular massages (like at least every 2 weeks) after never wanting to pay for more than one massage a month. I decided to splurge on the regular because LEROY has managed to figure out why my back has always been sore. I hurt my back 9 years ago doing CrossFit and have gone to chiropractors and massage therapists for years hoping someone could make me feel better. I’m pretty active so I thought the constant pain was just a result of my activity. And then Leroy massaged my hip flexors and psoas. It felt like torture but I can’t even describe how transformative it was for my back pain. I’ve seen almost a dozen massage therapists and no one has been able to figure me out. I definitely recommend LaVida massage, especially Leroy. He seems to book up pretty quickly so be prepared to wait a few weeks or expect to be placed on a wait list

I’ve had very good massages here at Lavida but what makes Lavida fabulous is that Stasia (she works the front desk) has been extremely helpful and thoughtful whenever I schedule my massages.
I’ve been a customer here for a year now and whenever I schedule a meeting with a new therapist, she calls to share the therapist’s style/ modality. She cares that I get the treatment that I am looking every time I get in.
Fabulous massages and your front desk team make or break your business.
Statsia is a rock star. Ask for her next time!

Stasia at the front desk is the BEST!! The other receptionists have all been super nice and great too, I just have had a lot of contact with Stasia and she takes really good care of me – amazing customer service. I can’t disclose who my favorite masseuse is because it’s already hard enough to get an appointment with him/her. I had another person once who was also very good though. This place is wonderful and I think the membership is a good deal if you get multiple massages a month. In short, highly recommend… begrudgingly because I’m selfish 🙂 but these people deserve it.

Getting a massage can be tricky. Ambience, level of expertise, connectivity, and price are all key factors from start to finish. LaVida in West Seattle has nailed it for me and I’m so happy it’s right in my neighborhood!
When you walk in, you feel like you’re at a spa inside of a resort. Calm music, awesome lighting (I am a lighting freak), and the employees at the front are professional and welcoming. They have different options from walk in pricing, memberships, pay in advance; the list goes on. I found that a membership was the best deal because it’s discounted every time you want to go in.
The last time I was in I had Nick, who asked me exactly what I was looking for and 100% delivered. He is excellent at what he does, and told me the areas he could tell I held the most stress in. He’s also extremely friendly and down to earth. Good vibes/conversation all around! I will definitely be back soon – and everyone should go ask for him!
Thank you LaVida for creating a great space to relax and recover in! Whether you’re a West Seattlite or not, I recommend it here.
P.S. Parking is super easy, too, because it’s located in Jefferson Square plaza which has multiple garages and street parking as well!

I just finished my first massage at LaVida and will be returning!! I called for a last minute appointment and had a 60 minute massage with Sophia which was the perfect blend of deep tissue and relaxation. I’ve had a number of massages and this was the fantastic combination of good communication, wonderful massage, attentive staff, and great price. I have already booked my next appointment and can’t wait to return!

This is a review for Megan, from Montana, who was working the front desk when I called to make an appointment. She is amaaaaaazing. I had just moved to Seattle and was looking for a masseuse for my massive headache. She took her time to ask what my needs were and told me that the only masseuse available that day was a swedish masseuse and probably wouldn’t be a good fit. I get frustrated with crappy massages and I really appreciated her being upfront and honest. Megan always had my back! If she notices me or my partner booking me with a new masseuse, she’ll have the front desk call me to make sure I get a deep tissue therapist.
As a person who has had headaches all her life, I can’t express how much I appreciate this. Jeannine and terry are my regulars treatment therapists, but I’ve also tried Emily with great results. I love lavida massage! Parking is usually not a problem. I only had to park in Safeway once.
The front desk ladies are always super sweet, welcoming and helpful too. They have cute jewelry in the front which I’ve purchased. I liked lavida so much that I got my partner to sign up for his own membership as well. I love how they are open so late and how they have an app. It really is a well organized business that runs smooth like a ship. They have impeccable communication skills as well, and always make sure to call and leave voice messages for reminders. They even called to let me know that I got free credit from my referrals (if any of y’all are going to join membership, let them know Jo sent you!) feed my massage habit so I can continue to be headache free!

I had an amazing experience at LaVida Massage in West Seattle. My masseuse was Lam.
I called about a half hour ahead to see if they had any availability for the day. To my surprise they did! When you first walk in you’re greeted by the receptionists that are friendly and welcoming.
You sign a few medical papers and they then direct you to the quiet area that had infused water and chocolate! Who doesn’t love chocolate?
Lam then introduced himself and walked me into the room. We went over the areas of concern and he then left the room and gave me ample time to change and lay on the table.
He would check in on my in regards to pressure and comfort through out the massage but it was not over bearing as he still allowed me to relax and even get a snooze in.
He is respectful and made me feel secure even during the awkward position changes.
I highly recommend this place and specially Lam!!

Been a member here for a year. These are the reasons you should be going:
– These massage therapists are top notch. Each one has been hand vetted by the owner. I’ve seen 8 different providers here and every one has been as good as the massage therapists I had when I went to Apples private masseuses.
– They cover a huge range of massage techniques. When you call, describe what’s going on and the front staff will know who will be able to help you.
– Speaking of front staff, these people are very friendly. Most have had work from the therapists so they often have personal experience to help inform which person is right for you.
– I’ve had two therapists change their schedules, but there is always someone else just as good to fill the slot.
– The membership pricing is very fair. If you are going to get at least 2 massages a month it’s worth it. The “membership” is pretty flexible and they don’t make cancelations difficult.
Honestly, the biggest inconvenience I’ve ever had was someone having to cancel on me for a medical or weather thing. Even then they are good at finding someone that will cover the spot and notify you as soon as they know of problems.
If you think this review is too good to be true, look at some of my others. I’m not someone who 5 stars whatever
