Sunrise Bodywork

Smartest decision of my life!
I start a new job soon and I’ve been home for the past couple of months watching TV and binge eating only to realise I have so many knots in my back.
Drew is amazing! He is so soft spoken and professional I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. It’s like he has an X-​ray machine in-​built in his eyes he can just spot the knots and massage it without me feeling pain. I was in a nirvana mode post the massage I wish I could just go to sleep.
I feel it has kinda improved my posture and I sit erect for longer hours now.
Do not think twice, don’t be uncomfortable just go :)
Thanks Drew!

Got a wonderful massage by Jenn! I get painful knots in my shoulders from an old injury, and she was able to find the source of the pain and massage it out. Even a week later, I still feel less pain, and I can’t usually say that about a massage. She listened to what I needed, and tailored the time accordingly. Jenn has a hospitable and calm presence, and I got a little piece of candy on the way out :) What’s not to love?!

I just came back from my first massage with Drew and it was incredible! The place is a house in Queen Anne, super homey and comfortable. Drew is really wonderful, and the massage was just perfect. With the right pressure, knowing exactly where to work on a bit more but without hurting at all. The complete experience was awesome! I feel soo relaxed, thank you Drew!

If you want the best massage work you’ve ever had– book an appointment with Drew Perdichizzi. You’ll feel like you’ve died and went to heaven! I have had back pain for many years. Drew’s massages have helped correctively align my body and alleviate the pain. With massage, not only has my posture been restored, but I am able to move about freely! He is a wonderful masseuse and individual. I would not go to anyone else!

See Massage Therapist Jenn Frechette!
Jenn is an emerging artist in the field of massage therapy. No joke. I can’t believe I am just getting around to writing this review, because the best massage I have ever had was at Sunrise Bodywork and it was by massage therapist, Jenn Frechette. Although Jenn has more recently entered the massage world than some of her colleagues, I do not lie — I have never had a massage that left me as relaxed and re-​set for my life as was the one I received from her. I saw Jenn a few days after I completed certification for Pilates training; my muscles were in so much need of care. I’m so glad I saw this therapist. And I wish I still lived in Seattle so that I could see her regularly.
Jenn seemed deeply intuitive in practicing the art of massage. She had a warm, welcoming presence and was absolutely professional from the moment I walked in to Sunrise to the moment I exited. She is also a licensed psychotherapist and certified in cranio-​sacral therapy, which must be why she was so sensitive toward me as a whole person. There truly seemed to be a deep well that Jenn drew from when she worked on me. It made such a huge difference. Again — the best massage I have ever had. And it never felt awkward.
During our session, there was a tasteful selection of classical music playing in the background. Loud enough to be heard, quiet enough to not dominate. She checked in with me to see if the music was okay, and it communicated that she genuinely wanted this space to be for me, her client, instead of for her at her job. I received a full front and back body massage, which included the use of hot towels at different intervals. Jenn checked in with me at different times to ensure all was well, used the perfect amount of pressure, and gave extra attention to areas of my body that carried the load of my stress.
I could go on. But you really should book an appointment and find out for yourself. Quick, before her growing popularity makes it too difficult to get an appointment!

My husband and I traveled to Seattle last weekend and wanted to get massages while in town so went on Unilocal and found Sunrise Bodywork. Liked what I read so decided to give it a shot. I booked with Drew and he was truly amazing. One of the top services I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about him. He has a firm but gentle touch and worked a miracle on my back. Very professional. If I’m ever in this neck of the woods again I will be back.

I have been spoiled by the best! I’ve been seeing Drew at Sunrise Bodywork for several years and I can honestly say, not only is he the best massage therapist I have ever been to, but he has really become someone that I trust as a confidant and mentor regarding overall health and wellness.
I was referred to Drew by two very different people in my life and I’m so glad I listened to them! Drew creates the perfect massage balance between relaxation and really targeting the problem areas with his technique, helping me relieve everything from anxiety to aching muscles from a hard workout to the effects of a day job spent at a computer screen. As if his skillfulness was not enough, he is also an incredibly thoughtful and empathetic and gives plenty of time to discuss what is going on with my body/​sleep/​life and how I’m feeling before and after the massage.
After seeing Drew for a while and due mostly to anxiety I was experiencing, he suggested I might be a good candidate for acupuncture. Even though I was very nervous, I trust Drew and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Drew is an extremely gentle acupuncturist, which is completely in line with his overall nature, and the acupuncture has helped really helped create balance in my body and mind. Drew is incredibly intelligent and very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and will answer any questions I have around wellness in general.
THE BEST massage therapist and acupuncturist all in one!

Really beautiful classic QA house turned Zen bodywork studio. Jenn Frechette, bodyworker is trained in cranio-​sacral therapy as well as massage. She is very sensitive to my energy level on any given day. I feel Jen is intuitive and uses her strength appropriately to work out the knots as well as sooth sore muscles. I look forward to my standing appointment every month — not a luxury. Health maintenance!

Transformative. Drew fixed the pains I had and the pains I didn’t even know I had. Don’t know how you’d like it if you’re a ‘light-​touch’ massage, but if you want someone to get in there where the trouble starts and make the the pain go away, I highly recommend.

Jenn Frechette is now Certified to do CST! She’s always been great but look out now. You can read my recommendation on the Sunrise site.

I have to agree with all the previous 5 star comments, I was skeptical that it was really that good but after my massage today I can attest that Drew really is that great. He took the time to really understand what I was looking for in my massage, but did not deduct it from the massage time itself. He had a great balance of working on my trouble spots and relaxation techniques. I will be making a point of budgeting money to visit regularly.

Drew recently wrapped up acupuncture school! HOORAY FOR US! So between getting massaged or receiving acupuncture!!! WHICH ONE?! You can’t go wrong. Through acupuncture there’s even more depth to his healing. His compassion and gentle approach with acupuncture is phenomenal. He puts you at ease right away. Seattle is very lucky to have him as an acupuncture and massage practitioner!

I tried this massage service when traveling to Seattle. The experience is superb, the massager is very skillful, and I felt so much better after the appointment. Also he gives advice on further care. All in all, he is wonderful!!!

Derek is amazing!!!

I saw Dennis for an appointment a few weeks ago, and he is great!
As a martial artist, I appreciate knowing the fact that he is a long time martial art practitioner and instructor as well as a massage therapist. So when I went to visit him with a nagging ache from an injury, I knew I would be in good hands.
Dennis has a great demeanor — very calming, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He even spent a few minutes at the end of the session to suggest some stretches for me to do.
I highly recommend Dennis, and will visit him again in the future!

Can I give 6 stars?
Just got back from a massage with Dennis. It was my first massage ever, so I wasn’t entire sure what to expect… and I think I’m a little obsessed. I’d go back every day if I could! Dennis was extremely mellow, calming, and professional in his demeanor, and simultaneously powerful and gentle in his massage. I had told him that I felt like my neck and shoulders needed some attention, but he intuitively found all the tender spots without me having to say a word and gradually worked them out. I felt like a puddle when it was over… still do!
Before I left, he also took the time to talk to me about dealing with any soreness, drinking plenty of water to flush out the toxins that were released, etc. Very thoughtful and thorough!
Lastly, the price just can’t be beat… My 90 minute massage was just $ 75, thanks to his introductory special. Amazing!

Finally came back for my second massage and can reaffirm my earlier five star review. If I could give a sixth star, I would. I came in filled with weeks of stress and tension and left feeling like a hundred pounds had been lifted from my shoulders. Rumor has it that they are moving to a new location and will be offering more holistic wellness services in the very near future. Lucky us, Seattle!
The price point is spot on for the services you receive. My 90 minute session was $ 100 with Dennis and worth every nickel. I would recommend Sunrise Bodywork to my friends and would never go anywhere else.

Two thumbs up for Dennis… hands down, the best message I’ve had… ever.
I was experiencing some back pain and required some work before my flight overseas. That morning, I was moving furniture and injured my back. I’m in the military, I need messages on a biweekly basis for the work that I do anyways, but my back was causing me a significant amount of pain. I arranged a session with Dennis, and I must say… it was AMAZING! We spent an hour and a half together for the actual message, collaborating together (since this was our first session, (I gave him feedback as to ensure that I was getting exactly what I needed). You can feel the energy flow through his hands, as he uses his talents from several techniques.
The endstate is that I feel amazing. I felt alive and rejuvenated, due to the unquique stretching excercises we performed. I could feel the blood circulation flowing throughout places that were dormant prior to the message. And the back pain? What back pain? It was gone… I woke up the next morning just to see if it would return-​and this was not the case. Although I was very impressed with my message, I intentionally waited until the next day before I posted this review.
Dennis has a introductory Unilocal special for $ 75 for an hour and a half ($ 75 for 90 minutes!), this will last until he builds up his regular clientele (Drew is a bit more, but not by much). Very affordable (the intro to Dennis Unilocal special is actually $ 50 for an hour with Dennis, but they allowed me to get 30 minutes more for $ 15!!!). Drew changed my appointment 3 times, as a result of my ever changing schedule (I am certain that as a resukt of this acrobatic fiasco, they must have lost some appointments along the way). He was super accomodating and friendly, doing everything he could to ensure I got an apppointment before I flew.
SBW simply is the BEST place to get a message. Look at the prices alone, a lot less expensive than other places that (I guarantee, regardless of how ‘high end’ they are) I have been to. Look around, and you will see that the prices can’t be beat. This message simply doesn’t make you ‘feel good” as so many places do, but don’t provide the results your looking for. Far too many places provide message, but it’s simply touch and relaxation (some things may actually help, but not everything). Get your moneys worth, get the therapy you deserve.
This IS therapeutic, this IS health and wellness… it’s YOUR body. You know the difference between spoiling yourself vs therapy. Don’t sell yourself short on this one, you’ll be very pleased with the result.
The business is in the small, quaint area of Maple Leaf Book, with plenty of street parking (very accessible from the freeway). Book your appointment now, as they are the in works of expansion (which is a work in planning progress, planning phase).
There is a reason that SBW has 5 star reviews, go… and you too will be posting the same rating!
Another noteworthy mention: As I fidgeted around for my card for some time, Dennis asked me if I would like to take care of it via Paypal… after I left. The level of trust that SBW has for their customers really impressed (and shocked) me at the same time. I don’t another business would allow anyone to do the same.
Thank you Dennis and Drew for an amazing experience, I will be be back!

Dennis is amazing! I was told by my chiropractor to get a massage every month, after he fixed a very painful displaced rib. I had never been to a chiropractor, but felt it was necessary to fix the pain and tension in my back. I went to Unilocal and chose the people with the highest ratings — they were right!
I have gotten several massages in the past, but this was the best. Finally, a message «therapist» who helps you as a patient, with specific goals, not a generic «rub down» like you would get at a salon/​spa hahaha. I didn’t need to tell him where my muscles were tight, he could tell on his own — very intuitive. He fixed the tension responsible for my rib being pulled out of place.
Also, Dennis is extremely professional and soft-​spoken, making the experience relaxing and therapeutic. Sunrise Bodywork has the professionalism and attention to detail of a doctor’s office, with the relaxing atmosphere of a spa — exactly what I wanted. I will be back for sure.

Again, Unilocal does not lie. I was a little hesistant at first making an appointment with a male masseuse because I had never done that before but honestly, Drew is the nicest guy ever and also a great listener. He’s also really good at what he does.
I told him that I wanted a massage because I had a lot of stress and tension in my back from God knows what that has built up over the years and he temporary relieved that pain. The knots in my back are pretty impossible to get rid of in one session but Drew was able to put me in a comfortable state for a good hour or so.
I’m pretty sure that my one-​hour session ran over time because I had left the clinic later than expected which was not a bad thing at all. The music he played in the background was also very soothing too and that made it much easier for me to relax and I pretty much almost fell asleep too.
What was really surprising to me was that I let Drew know that I didn’t have enough cash or check on me and he just told me to mail it to him. SERIOUSLY? Wow!!! So much trust, right? TOTALLY.
What a genuine guy, I definitely can’t wait to come back for my next session although I can’t really afford to splurge on massages that often. But really take advantage of the Unilocal discount if this is your first time, it really is a steal.
