Iyara Thai Bodywork

Genuine question! Does Thai massage means, no massage oil? or cream at all? no hands, no fingers just walking on my back, and used elbow on my back, didn’t even touch my front body for the last 1 Hour, even though I asked for a full body Thai massage? And charged me $80+ Tip? I was so confused! Is that how Thai massage is supposed to be? My boyfriend sent me to this place and was so annoyed that I didn’t have a good experience.

Angelina is the real deal!! I have never had a great massage. She made me realize that a good massage doesn't need so much pain, but when she helped me it was different levels. She was so kind and asked a lot of questions so she could understand what I needed and she helped me with her magic hand she slowly made my pain go away. Book Angelina you will not disappointed

UPDATE: the pain is GONE! No more pain in my neck, lower back, and sciatica! Angelina is a pro! I saw her for two more sessions, 2 hours each, and now I feel AMAZING!! Even though the pain is completely gone, she recommends I come at least once a month for maintenance. Look forward to seeing her next month! I have had pain in my neck, lower back and sciatica for 3 years. I went to a physical therapist for a couple months, but unfortunately I wasn't seeing much progress. I decided to try Thai massage. Angelina was my massage therapist. She is friendly, warm and courteous. It was my first massage session, and she made me feel comfortable. Angelina is a blessing! She gave me the relief I needed. After our session completed, I no longer had neck pain. My headaches were gone. I can sit down easier now. She recommended that I follow up with her a few more times. She recommended 90 minute to 2 hour sessions so she can have enough time to treat my pain. Angelina is an exceptional massage therapist. I cannot recommend her enough!

I had high expectations but the service was lousy and the massuce did not speak any English. Purposely hurt me when I told her the areas that I had pain in. Ignored my instructions and it was extremely hard to relax, not an enjoyable experience. Don't waste your time or your money.

Randi and I love this place so we drive together about twice a month. They’re the best as we always leave feeling a lot better after a combo massage. You get your own private room with a mixture of Thai massage and regular Swedish for only $69 an hour.

Good traditional Thai massage here. Stretching is amazing! Nothing to fault about massage techniques, very professional! One shortcoming would be the facility. The pillow hole is too small for big head people and massage rooms are not private enough. But I like their board massage tables, and those are not big problems for me. I only care about relaxation 😉

An actual honest review from a customer that’s been going regularly for the last two years: they aren’t the most spa-like and luxurious, if that’s what you’re looking for. But if you’re looking for a good massage, this is the place to go. I’ve yet to find anyone give a proper deep tissue and Thai massage as the masseurs here at Iyara. All of them are good, so good that I never have to request a specific therapist. 60min is never enough, try to do 90min if you have the time (especially if you have target areas you want to work on). The only thing I don’t care too much about is when another client walks in and they’re loud, the entire space can hear them. Just walk in, quietly tell your masseur what you want, and enjoy your massage without talking.

I've been seeing Emma at Iyara Thai Bodywork in Irvine for about a year now, and she's just awesome. She's amazing at deep tissue massages, and she's got some serious strength! It's perfect if you're an athlete or just seriously need some muscle relief. Every session with her eases so much tension in my shoulders, glutes, and legs—I definitely bounce back quicker and perform better in my sports stuff. Emma's super friendly and professional too, making every visit welcoming. If you're on the hunt for the best deep tissue massage, make sure to book with Emma!
