  I was really hurting from stress and tension, I think. I went to SansSouci holistic and was expecting one of those routine deep tissue massage,well I was surprised. Shaka gave me a choice consent form to fill, that was different, and I selected "Option 2, Sanssouci Delight" because I was curious. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but I soon relaxed. Wow! is all I can say. It was the best massage I ever had all of the tension and pain are gone, and it was all really delicious.
  
  I strongly recommend Option 2 if you can be cool with it and ask for Shaka.
  Thanks Shaka!

  Folks, if you are looking for an otherworldly escape, a sublimely aesthetic kind of expectation, you will not find it here. There are no candlelit hallways or panpipe love songs being pumped in. It is an apartment converted to a massage salon. The space is clean, serene and tasteful though, the bathroom is clean and it serves its purpose.
  
  To be sure, you come to this place that goes by different names, not for a "spa experience" but for Shaka.s hands, I am sure the the girls that work with him are good too but in my case it is Shaka. Frankly, I'd much rather have his masterful digits on my skin, penetrating into the aching flesh underneath, than some artifice designed to ‘play’ on my mind.
  
  Besides, if you aren't relaxed after a few minutes with Shaka, there's little hope that anything else might help you.
  
  And by the way, he gave me a consent form to choose from the two styles he provides, I was a bit curious and I selected “option 2”. That was a good choice for me, I can only say that it deliciously altered my state of consciousness. If you go to Shaka for a massage and if you can stop thinking too much for a while, select “Option 2” lie down on the massage bed and let his hands talk with your body.
  
  Before a massage, I usually tell my masseur that I am ticklish. I explained this to him before he started. And as he administered the most amazing massage I have ever had, I was happily surprised that I almost never felt tickled.
  
  Unlike any massage before, my session with Shaka felt like it was designed for me. It included some compression and stretching which felt amazing. The guy is gifted with intuition as well as equipped with a good understanding of anatomy. Where other massage therapists feel like they' simply going through the motions, I felt like he was very present and had a genuine desire to leave me feeling better than when I came in.
  
  I think Shaka is actually gifted for this kind of body massage. I had a massage elsewhere 3 weeks later and the entire time on the table I could only think of Shaka.
  
  It is possible that he has ruined me for all others.
  
  I highly recommend AAA Massage Services/Integrated Bodytherapy. I especially recommend Shaka for any woman who wants to enjoy a delicious, deeply therapeutic massage.
  
  Thank you Shaka, I will be back soon.

  I try to get a massage as often as possible. For me, even the not so good ones help a little.
  I never thought though, that one day I will get a massage that is so impressive, I will feel compelled to write a testimonial for the masseur.
  That time came recently when I decided to have a session in my apartment. I had heard about aaa Massage mobile/Sans Souci Holistic so I called them and made an appointment with a guy name Shaka for a 90 minute session. Shaka came over with all his professional massage stuff.
  It took me a few minutes to relax, but the rest of the massage was a delight, I got these thrilling goose bumps which i never got before in a massage, with the warm lotion and the firm intuitive touch that got into all my tension spots. Shaka knows how to find the trouble points and work them out.
  I had a persistent nagging pain in my lower back for several weeks, I got off the massage table and it was gone. It is more than a week since that massage and the pain is still gone.
  Though the recession has affected my income, I will still call Shaka for my regular treat.
  I totally recommend Sans Souci Holistic.

  I have recently been going back to the gym and was getting the worst knots under my shoulder blades running into my neck. I went to Shaka because I had read all of the great reviews on here, so I gave him a try... I am so happy I did! My back feels 100 times better! and he spent extra time on the places that were bothering me the most. I went for a 90 min deep tissue and opted for option 2. No only did he work on me for like an hour longer then he had to but he was very informational. I would recommend him to everyone!!

  The 60-minute massage session with Shaka was fantastic. I signed up for the non-standard massage procedure (Option 2 in the Consent form) and it was extremely effective, providing a whole body deep tissue massage and emphasizing areas that were very tight, particularly my shoulders. Shaka was very professional and attentive during his massage treatment, making sure I was feeling comfortable and that the level of pressure was appropriate.
  Shaka (who is also a personal trainer besides a massage therapist) also provided me with some great tips on what back muscles to strengthen in order to better align my chest and shoulder muscles. This massage was wonderful and very therapeutic, I highly recommend it for those of you who will feel comfortable with the non-standard option. I would like to back again for another session. Thanks a lot Shaka!

  I workout at the gym 5 times a week and am always sore and achy, so I'm constantly looking for a great Massage therapist that can really fix me. I look for someone who knows his muscle groups and tension points. Well instead of treking to NY every month, I think I finally found a place close to home, Shaka was definately on point, I left the place feeling relieved, relaxed and brand new. He took his time and knew exactly where my knots where and what to do. I highly recommend him to everyone!

  I hadn't had a massage in over a year because I was saving for a home. My boyfriend surprised me with a gift certificate to Sans Souci and I immediately scheduled a massage.
  I've had many massages in the past, but this was the BEST I've ever had. I needed to find a place in the area and I don't plan on ever letting as much time go by as before. I realized how important to my health and well being massage is. I can't wait to schedule my next appointment!

  Had a Mother's Day massage, and Shaka is a superlative professional, with skilled hands. I have had many-many massages, and he is at the top of his profession. He hit every tension point. Very serene atmosphere, much like the practitioners out west, his studio is in his apartment. Billie Holiday playing, nice change from the new age background stuff. Will definitely be back.

  I am big on trying discounted massages, well, I really got lucky...My body hasn't felt this good in a very long time, Shaka really knows his business, he is mellow and makes you feel comfortable, his place is not ordinary, it has a homey really cool atmosphere..But most importantly, he knows how to make you feel better and thats all that matters to me!! Fantastic is an understatement...I'll be back.

  Thumbs up!
  
  They were amazing! I went with my husband. His gal quickly knew he had TMJ and helped releave his pain. My masseuse really took his time in smoothing out all my muscles in my lower back. I have chronic pain so it was much needed. We will definitely be regulars!
