Yelpers ‘Knead’ to Relax Version 2.0 @Elements Massage

Unilocal hasn’t failed me on the new places they introduce us to. I was so happy to enjoy a massage because being pregnant I read about how it can be a no no, but at Elements they have a masseuse who specializes in prenatal massage which is something that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Sadly, my appointment time did not correlate with the prenatal masseuse Steph’s work schedule. This did not stop me from still getting exceptional service from Genia. Genia was kind and reviewed prenatal massage prior to massaging me since her expertise was deep tissue. With that said I learned there were a few masseuses with her name so I would confirm what masseuse and expertise fits your needs. Still she was gentle and listened to my concerns and catered completely to my problem areas and needs.
Environment: soothing and quiet dim rooms with calming tones, they start you off into a clean room and provide you with a towel to get under, give you some time to get undressed and start the massage. They make sure to clean off the lotion they rub onto you with a hot warm towel and at the end of the massage you are greeted with a thank you personal note from your masseuse and a recommendation for next time along with a Dove Promises chocolate.
Outside in the lobby area there are comfortable couches and Kincao a full vegan catering and take out lunch box company was serving some yummy kale salad, chicken with flavorful tzaziki sauce and chickpea mix. It’s nice to learn that they make their food fresh and deliver to many parts of the south bay. You can order online and get lunch delivered to you. They also had some yummy date bars that are snacks that can also be ordered. More information could be found at
Outside we had an offering of Unilocal swag such as water bottles, cell phone charms, mints, chapstick, and reusable bags which are so good for the environment. I sadly couldn’t try the kombucha but it seemed like the hit drink, even being non alcoholic it had healthy attributes and was served in 2 flavors.
Overall another eventful Unilocal event with good people and conversations and some much needed release of stress.
Ps. For people that have flexible spending accounts from their employers, you are able to use your account to pay for your massage. Although the massage is not covered by insurance, they do allow payments from your FSA account.

This event was a great idea. Gave Elements some new business I’m sure. I like that it was scheduled appointments so people weren’t just hanging around. It still gave you a chance to mingle, if u wanted to hang out before or after your appointment. I had the last timeslot of the night, which was perfect for me because after a massage I’m not really wanting to be social. I guess I could have come early to partake in the appetizers they had, but I didn’t.
The staff at Elements was friendly and didn’t mind answering all my questions at the end of the night. I felt bad because I ended up staying there 20 min after closing so they could answer my questions. But they kept reassuring me it was fine.
The massage was great, definitely 30min is not long enough for the work I needed. That’s why I will be back. Wish they did 60min instead of 55, come on what’s an extra 5 minutes. Oh well.

So I used to get a massage at Innovators next door, and when my masseuse left, I haven’t been back. Fast forward 1 year later: There’s a dedicated massage destination called elements! I had never even heard of it before the Unilocal event. I met the owner outside while trying some awesome Kombucha, and she was so awesome.
I will definitely come back for more regular massages. Elements is the high class spa you want without the snobbishness located right in your neighborhood.
Thank you Candice and Elements for hosting such a relaxing event and providing us with amazing post massage chocolates. mmmmmmmm

Great event! What is not to like about a free massagi? Pronounced mah-​sah-​g.
I got a deep tissue massage and what can I say? It hurt so good! Kudos to a different type of Unilocal event and many thanks to Elements. I know that I will be coming back soon.

What a kick ass event this was!
I loved that this was such a departure from the normal Unilocal elite events where there were tons of people, tons of random foods, and lots of liquor. Not that I don’t enjoy liquor, but it was nice to eat clean and feel healthy after a long day.
And a free massage to boot! The massage was amazing, I loved Jessie my masseur, he was very professional, and did a great job. He even gave me tips afterwards to keep my muscles relaxed and tips to make sure I don’t get too tense over the course of the work day.
Overall, it was a great event. Thank you again Unilocal SV and our new awesome CM for putting on this killer event!

I am not one to normally seek out massages, however when I heard there was an Elite event at Elements Massage I knew I had to attend because Unilocal always manages to make it a fabulous and fun experience.
I arrived ahead of my scheduled appointment time which allowed me to check out Kincao who was serving light bites. I found out that they deliver pre-​made meals with free delivery which I’m sure is a big selling point for the busy Bay Area. I also had my first ever taste of Kombucha from Revive Kombucha and I must say, I’m very impressed how delicious Kombucha is in general, but they also had this coffee infused flavor that was so so tasty.
Like I said I normally don’t like massages as I’m very sensitive and get ticklish very easily but Kasia, my massage therapist, adjusted to my needs so well that I walked out feeling physically refreshed and happy I decided to come to this event. The Elements staff were all extremely friendly, accommodating, and they left a very positive impression on how they run their business.
Candice G. and Jon S., you guys are amazing and you have put on a fabulous run of events in September! Thank you for all of your hard work!
I will be sure to give Kasia and Elements a call for another wonderful massage and I have to thank Unilocal for making me not afraid to indulge in a little massage heaven. Cheers!

This was an awesome event! it was so intimate and super social. Everyone was in a good mood because they were either going to get a massage or just had one. Ahhhhh! there would be no wars if world leaders had massage events like this in their life.
I had THE BEST SERVICE. I loved that the individuals working there were so happy to help and were genuinely excited about their job. It made me want to work there. There can be no drawbacks right? Pay me in massages!
I’m not very knowledgeable about massages in terms of what type of pressure i need/​like and this place is very upfront about what YOU have control over
Too bright? You have control over that
Music too loud? it’s yours to adjust.
Massage table too angled? Change it to a dentist chair, you got the power! (disclaimer: No dental work is done at Elements)
Pressure too much or too little? You massage therapist is there to listen to your needs
What I liked at the end was that your massage therapist gives you a little card describing your trouble spots and a recommendation on when you should come back. Awesome!
Anyways, GO! You’ll be glad you did!

I so ‘Kneaded” this and what a healthy and physically rejuvenating event to carry me into a Friday.
Fresh bites were provided by Kincao, a local company that provides healthy pre-​packaged meals and free delivery. Revive Kombucha provided refreshing beverages and the Gold (made with organic coffee) was so tasty I caught myself refilling my glass more than a few times.
When it was my scheduled time for my massage, I was shown to a comfy waiting room. I was then introduced to Martha, my massage therapist, and she was wonderfully sweet in explaining the process step by step and pointed out I could adjust the music volume and light brightness. I found the heated massage table a simple but luxurious touch. I opted for a Swedish massage focusing on my neck and Martha’s technique and level of pressure suited me perfectly. After the massage, Martha surprised me with a printed sheet of exercises that I could do on my own to alleviate the neck tightness I frequently suffer. She patiently explained and even showed me how to perform the simple exercises to fight that inevitable tightness. As if the experience wasn’t fabulous enough, Martha handed me a hand written card expressing her appreciation. No Martha, thank you for the wonderful massage and introduction to Elements Massage.
I applaud Candice and Jon S. for putting together yet another well organized and fantastic affair (this time with a healthy and healing twist).

I honestly used to be very afraid to try out massage places. I would always hear about people complaining that they paid lots of money just to get beat up.
Today I decided to try it out since it’s free. To my surprise I actually enjoyed it! My massage therapist Stephanie is great! She was very accommodating and listened. During the massage session she educated me a lot about the different types of massages which I never knew before. She was gentle but firm with her massage techniques. She worked on my back, shoulders, neck, arms and hands which are the areas that get strained a lot since I work in an office space over the computer a lot. She explained that a lot of people who work the office jobs usually have these strains.
I enjoyed the experience overall and would definitely recommend trying it out!
The kombucha tea provided today was pretty good as well as the food catered by kincao! I felt so healthy and revived afterwards. :)

An awesome turn out for a low-​key event! I had to take the advantage of the massage and it was definitely worth checking out at Elements Massage. I’m interested to come
back after today’s complimentary massage.
I had Kasia and she was amazing. I had my back and shoulder done and I felt so refreshed. She made me felt relaxed and reminded me to let her know if she needs to go lighter or deeper, but she was on point when I requested a light massage. Kasia gave me tips on what I should do to ease the tensions on my body and even included a note to bring home. I thought that was so helpful and not just a walk in massage session. I was given a hot towel, chocolates, and a bottle water after my session.
The food catering was from Kincao and I love their concept of providing lunch boxes of healthy eats! I had a bit of everything that Kincao offered and I cleaned my plate. My plate was healthy and colorful. The food packed enough flavor for healthy clean eating and I love that!
I tried the kombucha beverage that Candice introduced me to which was new for me and I liked it as well. I had the ginger flavor and coffee which I like them both. I didn’t get to try the vanilla bean flavor but I’m sure it’s just as good.
Like a special occasion, Candice made sure you don’t leave empty handed to make the event memorable. I came home with my swag bag of goodies from Unilocal and Elements massage, and a treat from Kincao. Oh and a gerbera daisy personally given from Candice! I left the event feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Thank you Candice, Elements Massage, and Kincao for the awesome event!

I sure feel healthy tonight.
Martha, with her powerful hands, knocked out the kinks in my necks. It felt so good.
Food was no-​guilt. Yummy carrots and kale; my bad cholesterol are going down.
Kombucha culture drink, how organic; never had it before, learn something new everyday.
Even the conversations were about organic food to go with the theme.
Thank you Candice for hosting this lovely event.

Relax, once I saw this word it was a must!
Big shout out to our Community Manager Candice, Intern Jon and others behind the scene!
Since I have 2-​little ones, it has been difficult to get out and mingle. Once I saw the word Relax, I found a way!
When I rolled up in my big blue smoker of a truck, I noticed RED at the entrance of Elements Massage… That must be the spot!
I received kind greeting from Rochelle & Kylie, then I met Jon. HI Jon, my name is Matthew J, Nice to meet you! Then outta the corner of my eye I saw more RED, our beloved Community Manager, Candice.
We all chatted it up.
I stood at a table, filled out the questionnaire about my health history.
Do you eat a lot? YES
Are you over weight? AND?!?
Do you like beer? YES
If Yes, what style? COLD!!!
Do you like Bacon? Hell Yeah!!!
Are you a LA Dodgers Fan? HELL NO
LET GO GIANTS!
LET GO GIANTS!
Sorry, I seemed to got off track.
After filling out the questionnaire, I enjoy some Kombucha, a great nonalcoholic alternative! It’s really good for your insides!
Inside was Mark, a rep from Kinado. Mark had some simple eats, carrots that were obliterated, and nicely seasoned! Kale, I love me some Kale! I lived in the South for a minute and picked up some culture and learned to love more food! Also was a chick peas and egg plant. interesting… Of coarse Chicken. Which was juicy and lightly marinated.
Once entered, then out I came a whole new man!
Wow… But you’ll have to read Elements Massages review!
Once I received my gift bag full of SWAG, Candice sent me off with 3 flowers form my ladies waiting for me at home.
Until next time.

What an amazing & low key way to unwind from a busy & hectic Thursday! I arrived at Elements Massage early since I was scheduled in the 5:30PM slot. Check in was quick & easy. Candice poured some ginger kombucha to start it off before I was called back to wait for my massage.
I had Jesse as my masseuse & he was very professional about it all. It didn’t even feel awkward having a guy honestly. He was attentive in what I wanted him to work on (back & neck) & was also accomodating in offering either the oil or lotion as i have sensitive skin. He gave just the right amount of pressure for me to relax. He even gave me an exercise to help with one area he noticed. Overall, I left feeling much better despite him saying my back was in pretty good shape overall!
Kincao provided some yummy bites including sesame ginger carrots, kale salad, chickpeas with eggplant & lemon herb chicken. All were quite healthy yet yummy! I even had seconds, shhh!
It was fun to chat with Dee & Tina N as well as catch up with Karen G! It always makes me feel better about coming without a +1.
Thanks Candice for the flower & organizing this event! Also thanks to Elements Massage & Kincao :)

Leave it to Unilocal to hook us Elites up with some seriously awesome perks.
This event hosted by Elements massage, CM Candice & Intern Jon was by far one of my faves!
The nibbles were provided by Kincao — a local Campbell company that delivers healthy meals. They treated us to an awesome array of healthy bites (massaged kale salad, sesame carrots, chickpeas & eggplant, and a nice chicken breast with a lemon tahini sauce). And the (non-​alcoholic) libations were provided by Revive Kombucha which were super delish and If you haven’t had their stuff you should immediately go grab some (Specifically the Gold and Yerba Mate flavors).
My complimentary 30 min. massage with Martha was seriously awesome! We focused on my neck and my back which I desperately needed since my job is mostly physical labor. Her pressure was perfect for me, not too light, and not too deep so the staff matched me perfectly!
I already booked my next massage at Elements and I absolutely 100% can’t wait to come back!

It was my first time at Elements, but it won’t be my last. I work nearby and have been wondering about this massage spa. So excited that I was able to try it out tonight!
Everyone was so helpful and friendly behind the counter and my masseuse Jessie was fantastic.
The Revive kombucha poured tonight wasn’t scary at all! In fact, I think I may head to whole foods to pick some up. If it weren’t for this event, I would never have tried it.
Finally, and certainly not last, Kincao. The sesame julienne carrots were so flavorful and the kale salad was dressed with a delicious lemon vinaigrette. The chicken and tahini sauce were also pretty good. Healthy AND tasty food that can be delivered to your house/​place of business if ordered by 10:30 am? Yeah, sign me up. I’ll definitely give this a whirl during the work week! Vegan and paleo options too.
Thank you for setting up this intimate event!
