Chloe La Bare

Chloe La Bare is… a healer! She is a powerhouse (packed in small dancer body) who will tap into her intuition and knowledge in order to give you a massage that could change your life. I’ve had many professional massages over the years and I can say without reservation: don’t hesitate to book a session with Chloe. She is truly a hidden treasure.

Being a dentist puts me in some very uncomfortable postures which over time have had their toll on my neck and back. After seeing Chloe yesterday, this morning was the first time in many years that I did not wake up in pain. Thank you so much Chloe! Your hands don’t just massage, they heal people!

I had an excellent experience with Chloe. Her knowledge of Reiki healing and nutrition very much helped me restore a sense of balance to my body to include an improvement in my sleep cycle, decrease in joint pain, and control over acid reflux. Chloe is incredibly talented, empathetic, and in tune. Over the course of 5 sessions, we targeted problem areas and worked together to address them. I am very much a believer in Reiki after my experience with Chloe. I cannot recommend her enough!

Had a wonderful massage with Chloe earlier today. I went in with the simple direction that I was feeling stressed, and hopeful she could come up with something that would make me feel better. Chloe has an arsenal of different massage tricks — she mixed up some deep muscle work, aromatherapy, oil massage and reiki (energy healing). The combination worked beautifully.
I have had a lot of massages — what made Chloe unique was her intuitive ability to find the right muscles and tension areas. The combinative approach of her massages was really great too.
Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Chloe! She has a multitude of skills which she called upon during our session, to focus on what my body needed that day. It was also my first experience with reiki, which I found incredibly calming, meditative, and healing. Overall, I had a lovely experience and my body received some much needed healing!

I am usually someone of a scientific mind, so I have always been a skeptic of the Eastern treatments, but Chloe just made a believer out of me tonight with the Reiki massage! It is 50 minutes of an amazing deep tissue, which is very relaxing, and brings me to peace. The part that made me a believer in the incorporeal is at the end. She laid her hands on me and focused her energy! It was amazing! I felt like there was an warm energy that was transmitted to my body. I couldn’t explain it but I felt a warmth where she was placing her hands. I was really shock about how after I left I could still feel the soothing heat all over my body. I feel brand new, and I am going to pursue an herbal therapy to heal my body next! Chloe made a believer out of me! Looking forward to next week.

Chloe has an amazing talent in recognizing what your body needs and delivering it with care and strength. The combination of deep tissue and Reiki is perfect to help the body relax and heal. I highly recommend working with Chloe for effective self-​care.

In one word, Chloe is an angel. Just being in her presence is soothing, nevermind her amazing bodywork & massage practice. I’ve been working through emotional issues that have manifested in an array of physical symptoms, mainly in my gut, for nearly 10 years. Though I have been able to sort through and slowly heal a lot of this through sound healing, meditation, movement, diet, and so forth, Chloe’s reiki/​massage sessions completely pulled it all together to affect life-​altering change. After my 3^rd session with her last week, I felt as though I was present in my body for the first time ever. Over this past week I’ve found myself in this new world where everything flows so easily, things I had thought so difficult to attain simply appeared to me, and physically my body literally transformed; I lost 6 lbs in 3 days and my appetite dramatically shifted to eating for nourishment rather than stress-​alleviation. Regular sugar cravings (sugar had been my drug to get me through the day) have completely disappeared. Simply put, I feel like «myself» instead of some polluted, unhealthy version. Thank you, Chloe! This is really amazing!!!

Having massages with Chloe is a treat! She is caring and takes the time in asking what your needs are and pays attention to those problem areas once the session begins. She is a very gentle and intuitive masseuse in that she feels for what your body needs and respond to the tensions accordingly. She has this great ability to get to the crux of that tension held in my muscles and melting it away. She conducted reiki after my massage, and it took me to a deeper level of relaxation. Both times that I went to see her, I left feeling centered and my energy recalibrated!

I have been seeing Chloe regularly for almost a year now to help me with chronic back pain and headaches that were the result of several car accidents. After 8 years of having a headache every single day, Chloe has helped me get to the point where I only have one or two a week! I have seen massage therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists, had CAT scans and MRIs, taken drugs etc, and nothing has helped me improve as much as my sessions with Chloe.
As others have said, Chloe really targets your problem areas and has a lot of techniques in her arsenal to do this. She does wonders relieving tense, knotted areas through deep tissue work and sometimes stretching. She is also a proponent of Reiki, which I had never experienced before and was a bit skeptical of, but as I said – I was willing to try almost anything. I have no idea how or why Reiki works, but it definitely seems to be working! I always feel much better when I walk out of her room, and often my headache continues to improve over the next few hours after my session.
I highly recommend Chloe, especially to anyone with chronic issues. I have seen a lot of massage therapists in the Bay area and elsewhere, and Chloe is one of the best I’ve encountered. And her package-​rates make it much easier to make massage a regular part of your life!

I’ve had tension in my back for years and have been working to re-​pattern my body’s old holding patterns and find more ease… In one session with Chloe, I felt immense relief. She went directly to the source of my pain and targeted the areas needing the most work, which is what I really needed. Deep tissue massage resulted in so much more freedom in my back, reduced pain, and I found sitting up straight to be effortless for the first time in a very, very, very long time. Thank you, Chloe! I’ll definitely be back.

Chloe is a genius! As part of treating my issues with chronic pain,
Chloe introduced a breathing technique that has worked wonders for me.
It’s called «the breath of fire.» I’ve been able to relax more deeply
than ever thanks to this breathing technique. She taught me how to
focus on breathing through my solar plexus in a way that allows the
rest of my body to completely relax. I now do this practice a few
times a day for just a few minutes and I’m getting much better at
relaxing no matter what I might be doing. Thanks Chloe!

I saw Chloe for the first time recently and the experience was wonderful! She did a combination of deep tissue massage, shiatsu, and finished with reiki. It was overall extremely relaxing and she maintained really great pressure during the massage. I’m used to massage therapists being a little too light with their touch, but this wasn’t a problem.
I would definitely recommend Chloe to friends looking for a great masseuse in SF!

If you need a massage because you are in pain (as opposed to wanting a spa-​style massage experience) but you are reluctant because you feel awkward or lazy or you think you can’t afford it or that it won’t really help, you should definitely make an appointment with Chloe. I have had a lot of massages and Chloe is the only one who can actually get the knots out of my back. She is extremely talented and intuitive, plus she has great taste in movies. I feel like a whole new person after a series of massages from Chloe.

I have been going to Chloe for massage for several months and have found her to be very helpful. She knows so much about the body and teaches as she massages. She has helped me with some long-​term work related issues and helped me understand the causes and the ways I could relieve the stress I put on my body in so many ways.
She maintains that we could do well to have good therapeutic massage in order to avoid the use of medications and surgery for some of our physical problems. This makes good sense to me along with the understanding that we do not need to feel old and sore as our bodies age.
Yesterday she used Reiki with me for the first time. It was quite amazing how the congestion I was feeling because of having laid on my stomach during the session was quickly relieved by the process. I could feel such heat passing from her hands to my body. It was a totally relaxing experience, very healing.
I plan to keep going to Chloe regularly, I have found a jewel and I hope you will, too.

Chloe is amazing… no, seriously. Not only does she rock the knots at massage therapy but she’s genuine and an all around delight.
sit down young ones and let me tell you a little story of hip flexor horror. there once was a runner than ran too far one day. He ran so far and so hard, that he was limping for days. Enter fairy godmother of massage (Chloe) who worked her mother massage magic on the poor runners hips. In a poof of glitter and puffle dust, the runner was magically restored (in less than 24 hrs) and even went on to run farther (½ marathon) in 5 days.
Plus as a bonus, she allows you to purchase packages and in installments.
Que manifique!

I don’t have a ton of time or disposable income to get massages regularly, but when a recent flare-​up in personal drama was causing tension-​related back spasms, I had to get some help. I was impressed by Chloe’s Unilocal reviews, so I shot her an email. Even though she was in a training course the entire next day, she came to give me a massage at 7pm on a Saturday evening, which I thought was really generous of her.
What I really liked about Chloe is this wasn’t a generic, spa, all-​over the body massage. I mean, everyone likes a good rub, but I don’t need someone spending 15 minutes massaging my calf if it’s my back that’s causing the problem. Chloe really targeted the areas where I was having pain, showed me some stretches that would help relieve the pain moving forward, and recommended I supplement my multivitamin to help prevent such painful episodes moving forward.
I really can only treat myself to a few massages a year, but sessions with Chloe are totally worth it. Thanks again, Chloe!

I had a great massage.
Chloe La Bare is a very skilled Massage Therapist and knows a lot about different massage techniques. Her specialty seems to be using different techniques to compliment each other, she tells you about what she’s doing and is open to your input but since I don’t know very much about massage I just let her do what she wanted.
She uses aroma therapy and soothing music as well as a soothing tone when she reminds you to breathe, it was very relaxing.
Best of all she takes my insurance, I’ve already booked my next session.

I’ve had 3 interactions w/​her regarding her massage services and my opinion remains. She was rude!
I’m sure she is talented but, hey maybe I caught her on a bad day which we are all entitled to.
Go erase this review again Unilocal!Whats the point of Unilocaling when you remove honest reviews for a little $$$$…

Before Chloe, I believed that massages were self-​indulgent sessions that I would sign up for at a day spa. I was wrong. Chloe has worked wonders with my hip pain that I had during my second pregnancy. Even after giving birth, I continue to see Chloe on a regular basis because her sessions has helped me maintain a painfree lifestyle that once included hip and shoulder pain, as well as tension.
I remember a session in which Chloe worked on my right shoulder. I don’t know what I did to it, but somehow I I could barely lift my arm high enough (without pain) to adjust the rearview mirror. After that session, I remember getting into my car and I was able to lift my arm to adjust the rearview mirror! NOW THAT, is an example of Chloe session!
I have referred Chloe to my family and friends and they have all thanked me for the introduction; some have even become regular clients. I would highly recommend Chloe; once you’ve had a session with her, you probably won’t view massage as a self-​indulgence anymore.

UPDATE:
I don’t know who this Marie H. person is and why she is giving Chloe a bad review. I doubt if she has ever had a massage session with Chloe let alone three interactions.
I do know that in my interactions with Chloe, she is responsive and not rude at all. There has been times where I’ve had to reschedule at the last minute, and she has been professional and accomodating.
