  I have had nothing but great experiences at Whole Being Massage. Jason is so professional and knowledgeable. He has made me feel very comfortable during the massage and has helped my body feel restored afterwards. Would 100% recommend. … More

  Gwen has the magic touch. She did a lymphatic drainage massage and it was very relaxing and effective. I didn't even know this was a thing until my doctor mentioned it. I'm so impressed!

  I met Dhwani Pearson when she was at a different salon in Boise. Amazing deep tissue massages. I followed her to Whole Being and I’m very impressed with the space. Clean, quiet, and spacious! Check it out!
• Meagan Gittins ★★★★★ 3 weeks ago
  Gwen is more than just a massage therapist. She is a body worker. She is focused and intuitive. Just being in the room with her is calming. She is one of those people that just 'gets' the body. Both my husband and I have gone … More to her, and will keep going to her.

  I had an incredible massage while on vacation a couple of years ago and I’ve been chasing that feeling of relaxation ever since! I got a prenatal massage at 38 weeks pregnant with Victoria and was so pleased with how it turned out. Perfect … More pressure, very relaxing and she was very responsive to my needs. My only disappointment was that they don’t offer massages any longer than 75 minutes. I’d gladly pay for a longer session! Highly recommend for prenatal massage.

  I recently had the pleasure of visiting Whole Being Massage, and it was a truly exceptional experience. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also provided valuable insights that have been instrumental in my journey towards body wellness. … More A special thanks to John, whose expertise and guidance made a significant difference. I opted for a deep tissue massage, which was both incredibly relaxing and beneficial. The ambiance of the place contributed to a sense of tranquility, making it all the more special. I highly recommend Whole Being Massage to anyone looking to enhance their path to physical well-being.

  My partner and I got a couple’s massage with John and Victoria. It was fantastic. We both got exactly what we needed. Victoria was my boyfriend’s therapist and offered a more gentle massage with hot stones, just as he requested.

• Emily Compton ★★★★★ 2 months ago
  I was scheduled with John, He was AMAZING. I’ve never felt so comfortable and listened to. Upon check in, he asked me where my painful areas are. Mine is my back! (Lower back) being in healthcare I experience a lot of lifting.
  John made … More sure to go over what to expect, and even gave me some education. As to where my my muscles might be storing some tension. I felt as though my whole body was worked on.
  Which some special attention to my back. I felt as though John made me feel very safe and protected. Which is something I wasn’t sure I could feel! I’m sure his very calming/loving nature helped!
• Abby Lopac ★★★★★ 2 months ago

• Lynette Smith ★★★★★ 3 months ago
  I had my first appointment with Gwen for a

  Amazing experience. Gwen stays 100% focused on you the entire time she is treating you. It feels like she really cares! This is a big contrast from other similar treatments I have had in the past. Thank you!
• Marie Jefferson ★★★★★ 3 months ago
  As a senior and first time massage patron, I was pleasantly surprised by Gwen’s ability to put me at ease from the time I entered to the time I left.
  Since I am extremely modest, I was pleased that she supported my need to remain 95% covered … More during the lymphatic massage. She also educated me before and after the massage as well as answered all my remaining questions.
  I do have less lower body “heaviness” and edema even after 1 session. Looking forward to greater results after treatment # 2!
• Kelli Scott ★★★★★ 3 months ago
  I had a massage with Jason and it was amazing! He is so knowledgeable and helped me with some on going hip and lower back pain I have been experiencing. I rebooked with him immediately!
• Audrey Long ★★★★★ 4 months ago
  Went for a prenatal massage and left feeling absolutely amazing. Victoria was kind, welcoming and took her time to really work on the areas I explained were bothering me. I am 36 weeks pregnant and haven't felt that relaxed in a few … More months. Will definitely be returning postpartum!
• Rebecca Johnson ★★★★★ 4 months ago
  Gwen does lymphatic massage for me and it has been a huge benefit in overcoming long covid and autoimmune issues and restoring my health and vitality. She is very patient and intuitive in working with my body. I highly recommend her!
• Dawn Johnson ★★★★★ 4 months ago
  Jason is the kind of massage therapist I like. He can do deep work. He pays attention, is responsive. Most of all, with that kind of massage, you get results. Really appreciate the work! Hard to find massage therapists of this level … More of competency and professionalism.
• Charles Tate ★★★★★ 4 months ago
  My second massage by Marisa was even better than the first. I go for the 90-minute deep massage. I need that for some very sore and restricted 82-year old bones and muscles. She knows and does so much more than I learned in a local massage … More therapy school. She is very good!
• Tamar Gotshall-Maxon ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  Just had a Lymph Drainage Treatment by Gwen. It's softer touches aiding your lymphatic system to get moving and you can feel the spiritual, healing energy come through her hands. It felt absolutely amazing and I cannot wait for my … More next appointment to hurry up and get here. I nodded off a few times and when the treatment was over, I didn't want to get off the bed, I just wanted her healing hands on me all day! Extremely happy I finally found someone!
• Carly T ★★★★★ 6 months ago
  I’ve gotten massages from both Gwen and Marisa now and I am absolutely in love with this space and their team. I’m the least inflamed I’ve been in my entire 20s. I’ve only been 3 times now and I see and feel SUCH a difference. I can’t thank … More these gals enough. They’ve given me hope in my healing journey again!! They both have wonderful, unique energies to offer. Both will have you feeling so held and cared for, you won’t be able to resist returning!!! I’ve been doing lymphatic massages and while it’s not their primary function, they are so deeply relaxing. I’m so grateful for finding this space and all the wonderful things it has to offer! Can’t wait to keep coming back!

• Amanda Fogg-Kucherry ★★★★★ 8 months ago
  Just had prenatal massage with John and I have never experienced such a soothing and kind experience! He was beyond knowledgeable and I felt like he knew exactly what I needed and he was excited to share so much knowledgeable of prenatal … More and labor comforting techniques and accupressure points. My baby was kicking the whole time and my body feels the best it has my entire pregnancy. He even took the time to share helpful tips and tricks after our massage to help with labor and delivery. 100% recommended and will go back!!
• Ciara Abernathie ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  I had my first Sarga experience with Gwen and my only mistake was not doing the 2 hour. It was beyond words amazing!!! As an LMT I've received a lot of bodywork and this is by far a 5 star experience. Gwen is an insanely talented therapist. … More So grateful I found Whole Being Massage!
• Kristen Emily ★★★★★ 10 months ago
  Marisa was AMAZING. I'm so glad I treated myself to a prenatal massage this pregnancy. It was honestly the best massage I've ever had in my life. Wow. Will be back ASAP.
• Wayne Berry ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  As an active Senior it’s not easy staying in good condition and staying out of pain. I can’t say enough about the amazing massage work that I receive when visiting Jason. He is the best masseuse I have ever been to. His deep tissue work … More on my neck and upper back has been transformational to my health and well being. I did not realize going in that his knowledge and technique would also help with my migraines? I feel so fortunate to have found Jason!
• Ashley Lopez ★★★★★ a year ago
  Really enjoyed my massage experience with John. He is a wealth of alternative medicine. I am here from out of town and would recommend anyone book a visit here. It was a highlight of my trip. I feel renewed. Thanks John!

  I’ve seen Maria for prenatal massage a few times and it has been wonderful! She is really flexible if you want more or less deep tissue. She is very adaptive to what kind of massage you want or need!
• Ashley Bartschi ★★★★★ a year ago

  My daughter is 15 years old and has some back issues. Gwen has been absolutely amazing with her and listening to what she needs and wants worked on. There is no one I would trust more to massage my daughter!
• Greg Stewart ★★★★★ a year ago
  First off, ohhhh wow. I don't even know where to start. Well, I personally have been accumulating a lot of stress with some major changes in my personal life, and I never really had a very good method to handle or attempt to reduce … More it. On top of that, my job is very physically demanding and I noticed it taking a toll on my well being, mostly my lower back. All this was getting a little out of control, so a friend from work recommended the idea of a massage therapist to help alleviate the stress as well as physical tension in my sciatic area and lumbar spine. Then I met Marisa and HOLY SMOKES. This girl knows how to set the vibe. I felt relief just being in her presence, and it only amplified from the moment she understood my needs and set the ambiance of the room so perfectly. Talk about being educated, professional, caring, and so very accommodating! It's no wonder she is in this profession, I could tell how passionate she was with everything and she truly went out of her way to understand exactly what I needed, provide it, and overall exceed my expectations. Every other masseuse I ever meet now has such an incredibly high standard to meet after having the blessing of Marisa to do such amazing work for me as she has. 11/10....Would more than just recommend!
• Jessica Jones ★★★★★ a year ago
  I was having lower back pain and Whole Being Massage was able to accommodate and book me the same day for a massage with John. John was fantastic. He really listened and took care to make sure he was doing everything he could to help me. … More I really appreciated the custom care he gave me. My back is feeling much better and I have already booked my next appointment. I highly recommend Whole Being! Thank you John!
• Juli Johnson ★★★★★ a year ago
  As always, an amazing experience! Jason applied new techniques he has been exploring to help release the hip pain that I’ve had for years, and I feel amazing. I’m so grateful for bodyworkers like Gwen and Jason who constantly grow and evolve … More in their practice! I highly recommend.
• Michael Richardson ★★★★★ a year ago

• Juliana Cantele ★★★★★ a year ago
  I had a Lymphatic Drainage Massage yesterday and it was definitely the best one I've ever had in my life. Gwen and her whole team at Whole Being Massage are amazing. The environment at the studio is also great. They all know what they … More are doing and you can feel that they do it with a lot of knowledge and love. I sure recommend this place.
• Lauren Phillips ★★★★★ a year ago
  My visits with Jason are always refreshing and therapeutic. He has a peace filled presence about him and works professionally on whole body health. He works intentionally to rid my body of knots and stress. I tried cupping for the first … More time and really loved it. Super effective. Go see Jason!
• Jonelle Fernandes ★★★★★ a year ago
  I have had a couple lymphatic massages with Gwen now. She is amazing and extremely knowledgeable! While there are many benefits that come from lymphatic massage, my most surprising result has been FINALLY beginning to gain my smell back. … More I had Covid about a year and 8 months ago and despite many efforts, had never gained my smell back. Ever since my first session with Gwen, my sense of smell is starting to come back! I’m extremely grateful and am excited to continue with lymphatic massage sessions.
• Lisa Atkinson ★★★★★ a year ago
  As a Physical Therapist, I have high expectations from my massage therapists to know their anatomy, have a variety of techniques and good assessment skills to plan the massage for that session. Jason did not disappoint and exceeded expectations … More with a thorough Q&A. Excellent communication on methods and gifted with all techniques. Highly recommended!
• melivia olissa ★★★★★ a year ago
  Gwen was amazing! This was my first Sagra massage and I loved it. I like to be pretty beat up in a massage 💪🏽 and usually feel bad asking for more pressure. Sagra is fantastic with it’s slow moving pressure that is perfectly consistent … More and heavy.
  Afterward, Gwen did lymph drainage therapy on me to address digestive issues (which felt oh so peaceful). The typical post massage puffy face was immediately relieved *and* I couldn’t help but notice, that I wasn’t at all dehydrated like I usually feel after a massage. I left feeling very content and at peace. (Oh, and this long time constipation sufferer scored big the next morning🙃)
  Gwen is great at what she does and I highly recommend!
• Shanelle Peters ★★★★★ a year ago
  I have had 2 massages by Jason and both times were amazing! The first time I went to him I was in a lot of pain in my upper back and shoulders. He really worked out all the kinks and I walked away feeling great! The second time I went I … More went for relaxation and he nailed that too. I highly recommend Jason when it comes to getting massages. He really knows what he’s doing!
• Allison Jackson ★★★★★ a year ago
  I had my second visit at Whole Being Massage yesterday. Gwen is amazing. She is kind, responsive, adaptable, professional, and experienced. The administrative side of the business is great too. It is easy to schedule online and there is … More even a waitlist option. I wholeheartedly recommend Whole Being Massage.
• Kate Ana ★★★★★ a year ago
  HANDS DOWN the most zen and relaxing place. I have been to get massages in California, Colorado and Arizona and this is by far, the most in tune and nourishing for soul and body. I booked a lymphatic massage with Gwen. It was as if she … More read my mind and knew exactly which areas I needed work. I was extremely stressed and unsure about my graduate courses in the fall, yet this was exactly what I needed. I left feeling on cloud 9! Do not go anywhere else. Go HERE. WOW!!
• Ryan Garrett ★★★★★ a year ago
  Great place, had a 60 minute and enjoyed every last minute of it. Would highly recommend!

• Chris Ingels ★★★★★ a year ago
  Wow, just wow! I’ve been in a really hard place emotionally the last few months and all that emotion was stored in my body. I got a massage from Gwen and it’s a night and day difference! The massage itself brought up a lot of emotion and … More felt like a safe space to process. I’m so grateful to Gwen for tending to me and sharing such good energy with me. I honestly feel hope again for the first time in a long time. So grateful for Whole Being Massage!

• James H ★★★★★ a year ago
  Easy to set up an appointment. The environment is so peaceful and welcoming. I was fortunate to have David as my therapist and I have to say, he’s great at what he does. He worked on my pressure points which felt great. His technique and … More applied pressure was very relaxing. The suction cup was a new experience for me and I really enjoyed it. Thanks again! Definitely looking forward to stopping by next time I visit Boise!
• Erin Stanley ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen was fantastic. I am 31 weeks pregnant and was recently in a rear end collision. I haven’t really been sleeping and I’ve been achy. I left my massage so relaxed and comfortable. I was actually able to rest more! Thanks Gwen and can’t … More wait to come back.
• MT JONES ★★★★★ 2 years ago

• Carol B. Low ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  First, the office is lovely, serene and welcoming. Jason's technique is unusual to me, with the use of cupping, and I immediately felt, of all things, taller, and I was very surprised to find my body very loose a few hours later. There … More was a little soreness, but I was very clearly more mobile and fluid. What a pleasant surprise.
• Troy Pearse ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen's Lymphatic Massage got rid of my lower back and leg pain that was being caused by an accumulation of lymphatic fluids. I slept much better that night. Thanks Gwen!
• Jill Beggs ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen was truly such a gift to me during my massage. She was smooth and strong with her magic and she knew exactly where I need additional love in my body.

• Shelly Rich ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen gave the best, most relaxing massage I’ve ever experienced. She hit all my problem areas without even telling her. Call… Run… Get on her schedule!! You won’t be disappointed!!
• Jezmynne Dene ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  I decided to give myself a birthday treat, and selected this place because I could add a sauna experience along with my massage. What a treat! This place is so calm and peaceful… you enter into a quiet door, and the place is spotlessly … More clean. You are escorted to a calm room with a comfortable couch, towels, and a robe. There’s water and tea for you to enjoy. The sauna is just delightful! You can set the temperature to your liking, and it’s a great place to sit with your feet on bare wood to begin to decompress and center before a lovely massage. After the sauna, I was escorted into a quiet and dark room filled with soft Tibetan bowl chimes. Jason provided aromatherapy and customized the massage to the needs of my body and my choice to relax and experience a day of rest and unwinding. After the massage, Jason took the time to discuss with me how my body reacted, and areas he noticed that I should be attentive to in order to further release stress or to stretch after soaking/exercise. I feel that my entire body and mind were considered and treated during my time here. Jason was quite attentive and listened carefully to my goals and objectives in order to provide the best experience possible. I left feeling looser and relaxed, and the entire experience was luxury from start to finish. 10/10 will come back!
• Emily Dreblow Rey ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  I had a wonderful experience with a massage from Gwen. I tried the lymphatic massage to help with some detoxing and it was so powerful. It was very gentle and subtle, deeply relaxing and ended with some nice deep tissue massage since I … More booked a longer session. Gwen's ability to go from the subtle touch of lympathic work to deep tissue was so fluid and natural, I loved experiencing her range. The light touch of the lymphatic work reminded me of butterflies resting on my skin, gently opening and closing their wings. So healing and sweet
• Brad Hatch ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen was very good. She started off getting know my issues and discussed what might also help my as she moved through her work. My back was really ceased up and she was able to work it out. I am much more comfortable now.

• Karye Rae ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Gwen was able to get me in to see Jason on short notice. I was experiencing neck pain from sleeping like a cat. Jason was patient, professional and communicative. He gave great suggestions and although I was nervous about having a massage … More and then traveling later that day, I realized I was ultimately more relaxed during my travels. The spa was clean and pleasant. I’ll be back for more regular massages.

The entire experience was the perfect combination of deep pressure/muscle work and relaxation. I will definitely be back!
• Deanna Kline ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  I had my first Sarga Treatment with Gwen yesterday and it surpassed my expectations. Gwen is professional and intuitive. She found the areas on my body that needed work and unleashed the tightness and stress inside. Her passion for helping … More her clients is deep and true. Typically, gentle is not the usual word I seek out in a massage therapist, yet with the type of treatment that Sarga is, Gwen is gentle in a meaningful, intentional and productive way. Typing this post less than 24 hours after my session w Gwen, I am feeling great and can see future Sarga sessions in my future.
• Jennifer Becker ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  I had never heard of a Sarga massage, I was having extreme shoulder pain. Gwen did a great job and I’m finally feeling relief in my shoulder.

  Gwen possess the true gift of healing and is genuinely an amazing human being. Her authenticity, intuition, and communication upfront is what resonated with me as a client before our session. Going into our appointment we had an organic … More conversation around the different modalities and techniques she wanted to incorporate in our 2-hour session.We started our session with a full body deep tissue massage. Her technique and communication throughout were just spot on. Often clients tend to not speak up or communicate with the Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) during the massage. The reality is, to receive the best experience you have to be able to openly let the LMT know if the pressure is too light, too firm or just right. There’s other feedback you can give throughout and it’s not a burden or taboo to speak up as a client. Once the LMT is able to lock in, understand your preferred level of pressure, and start flowing, the future appointments will be as if they are reading your mind. Gwen was so in tune with my body it was the perfect start to the eventual Sarga work she wanted to incorporate.For anyone that never tried Sarga, I’d highly recommend trying it at least once to see if you like it or not. My best experience ever with Sarga was with Gwen and the reason why I love this technique is the level of pressure she can put into the muscle(s) by open things up with her heels, toes, and feet. There's an art and science to this (check out some videos on this technique and discipline). There are different levels of pressure an LMT can apply with their hands and only so much leverage they can achieve with a traditional massage. Through Sarga, the experience and muscle relaxation I felt after my session with Gwen was phenomenal. Her attention to detail, technique, power of healing, and expertise took over and the tightness I had in my back, glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves significantly opened up.One area most never think about getting light work on is your abdominal area for digestion. Gwen with her hands incorporated that into our session and to this day, I always keep it as a part my 90 min session. My whole life I’ve had my share of sinus issues. For anyone out there that can relate and empathize, dealing with sinus pressure is no fun. Gwen suggested we infuse some hot towel and aroma therapy treatment to close out. She finished the session with a relaxing facial massage which almost put me to sleep (There’s a strong possibility I may have briefly blacked out for a minute or two ha-ha) in the end, the sinus pressure I was feeling going into the appointment was noticeably relieved after the session.I’ve been receiving massages for 20+ years and we all know how challenging it is to find the right Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). Gwen is truly a special human being and her body work will bring you the peace, comfort, and the serenity we all desire. If you made it this far to the end of this long review – I’d highly recommend booking an appointment with Gwen at Whole Being Massage, she will take great care of you. Your body will thank you for the self-care.

  Gwen gave me a wonderful massage and I wanted to share my experience so others can find themselves in this little piece of heaven! Arriving at this blissful sanctuary was easy to locate, with clear parking for clients and the space having … More its own entrance made it welcoming. I was greeted by a warm smile and met with Gwen right away. Immediately I noticed how lovely it smelt and the waiting space was well done and clean. The actual massage room was done with attention to detail, having everything from the practical to heart warming artifacts that made the space feel so homey. Gwen was very professional in how she walked me through what would happen during our session and made me feel included. This was a new modality to me where she washes her feet and goes on top of the massage bed holding on to a secured silk to offer the most consistent pressure to release tension in the body. By doing this I saw she was able to access longer lines from my thigh to my feet with little effort, putting different amounts of pressure as she moved. Gwens touch was something vital I was missing in my body, as active as I am requires the same care to restore and adjust.  It was interesting to see how she incorporated the silk she used to balance herself in the massage techniques as well like putting it at the base of my skull for a nice stretch that reached my toes! She also incorporated the other senses like smell, with delicious arrangements of essential oils while encouraging deeper breathing. I appreciate her so much for being so attentive and generous with her time and I hope you get to experience this for yourself!

  I came in to try the Sarga Bodywork massage and it did not disappoint. This methodology of utilizing your feet and straps attached to the bed provides a massage like no other. I left feeling amazing and felt even better the next day! Gwen … More is amazing and very professional. Such a cool experience!
• Megan Doyle ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  Gwen had the perfect pressure and technique during my Sarga session to stay right on my edge. My biggest issue has been tight calves and one session was all my body needed - I don't have that tension in my calves anymore!! It's … More such a relief. Gwen has an amazing energy and presence as a therapist.
• Bear Newman ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  Gwen did an amazing job! I've never had a deep tissue style massage before and it didn't disappoint! Gwen was very professional and I'm feeling the best I've felt in months. I will definitely be making Gwen's … More services part of my recuperation process in the future!
• A W ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  Gwen did an amazing job. It was my first time trying Sarga massage in which she specializes in. It is deep and intense but she is professional, focused and checks in on you throughout. Her energy is calming and looking forward to the next … More session.
• Kayla Peppersack ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  My husband & I recently got our 1st couples massage from Gwen and Jason. It was so good for our souls. I got sarga bodywork with Gwen and I’ll be honest, I never would have imagined that massage by foot would feel BETTER than massage … More by hand - but it DOES! For me any way! 🙂 The atmosphere, delicious spring water, and calming energy as they both worked was exactly what my husband and I needed. This will become a regular self care treatment for us! I highly recommend you experience this. Thank you!

  Gwen was wonderful! Quiet, calming, intuitive. Used a good amount of pressure and helped relieve the tightness I was experiencing in my hips and hamstrings. Thank you!

  I wanted to try out the barefoot massage: Sarga. I was so pleased with the perfect pressure, specific attention to my tight areas, and overall warmth that Gwen provided during the session. She was thoughtful with the application of pressure … More using her feet, getting deep but not painful. It was fun to try something new and I highly recommend her massage to anyone looking for deep and specific work to help manage aches, pain, and general stress.

  One morning I woke up unable to move my head off of my pillow. I had pushed myself to the limit. I have had trouble with my neck and back for over 20 years. But this time, I'd pushed myself to the point of unbearable pain. Luckily, … More I found Gwen. I called her in desperation and she made herself available as quickly as she could. That was just over a year ago. The rest is history. I now see Gwen at least twice a month and more if I can manage it!Gwen isn't just an amazing massage therapist. She truly cares about the whole body and person. Before she begins her massage, she breathes in a deep breath for you and you can feel your body's tension slipping away with her exhale. Her touch is strong yet gentle. She helps to alleviate your pain in ways I've not experienced in my 20+ years of chiropractic and massage therapy visits. Gwen is tiny. But don't let that fool you. Her hands are equal parts strength and magic. She is firm and unrelenting on those tight tension areas. Yet she does this with a gentle touch. Confusing? Truly! But I don't care how she manages to do it. It works.The best part about Gwen? She listens. She understands the anatomy and listens to it in a way I can only liken to being psychic. Without my saying a word, she manages to hone in on the parts of my body that need massaging the most. I'll never understand how she does that. I don't care. All I know for sure is that every single time she has completed massaging out my kinks and knots, I walk away lighter on my feet and with a huge smile on my face.
