Alexandra Williams

Not so good on the customer service front. Tried to get a hold of her multiple times. Finally called at 9:30 at night and she answered her phone. Curtly told me that it was quite the hour to be calling her about massage. Interesting considering she was unresponsive to my message I left at an earlier date and other calls that I made at earlier hours. A suggestion for Ms. Williams, if you don’t want to take a call at 9:30 at night about your business, don’t answer the phone and why aren’t you calling potential clients back and answering your phone at «appropriate» hours. Glad my business isn’t going here.

Alex is absolutely the most devoted and talented massage therapist I have ever met.
After having serious abdominal surgery I came home feeling run down and was in a lot of pain. My muscles had atrophied, my back hurt, I was not in great shape. Not only was she able to help me build up my leg and arm muscles, but Alex was even able to help heal a hematoma that covered most of my side and back from complications after surgery.
She has great technique and listens to any and all questions or concerns.
I highly recommend Alex for all therapeutic massage needs!

Alex is great! She’s come over to my home through my last trimester for prenatal massages. The massages really helped the aches and pains through my back and hips.
She is also knowledgeable about pregnancy/​birth. If I had met her earlier, I would have considered her doula services. She has a bright, positive personality which makes her comfortable to be around and the experience relaxing.
Her pricing is reasonable and I think it’s great that she travels to your home. It’s great to get a massage and be able to immediately start relaxing at home instead of getting back into the car and running errands when you go to other massage spas.
Highly recommend!

Alex is wonderful! When I was put on bed rest for my pregnancy a few weeks ago, a friend of mine recommended I give Alex a call. She came over yesterday for what I’m sure will be the first of many massages.
Great technique. In general this was an excellent massage!
Extremely knowledgable about pregnancy — one of very few people who is trained in high risk pregnancy massage (and multiples). She’s also a doula, so she really knows what she’s doing.
Really affordable prices. At $ 65 an hour or $ 90 for 90 minutes, this is already a bargain compared to massage places and spas in San Francisco — AND she doesn’t charge a travel fee! The other place I had found for in home massage was «A Piece of Peace» (which I do also love), but they charge $ 90 an hour PLUS a $ 65 travel fee. Which makes an in-​home massage from them $ 155 an hour… that’s 3X what Alex will charge!
Alex will travel all over the Bay Area, so don’t think that she only sees clients in Berkeley or SF. She’s down on the Peninsula several times a week and will come to you there too.

I recently moved to the area and feel fortunate that it didn’t take too many experiences with ineffective massage therapists before I found Alex (thanks to Unilocal). I suffer from hip, back, shoulder, neck and jaw pain. I have had two massages from Alex and each time the area where most of my pain was concentrated was different, but the result was the same. .. finally some relief!
She has been very accommodating when fitting me in for appointments, offers reasonable pricing (especially for her skill level) and, as others have mentioned, is both professional and knowledgeable. She offers advice on things I can do outside of massage therapy to prevent and manage my aches and pains (which is always appreciated and a key characteristic I have found only exists in quality massage therapists I’ve encountered in the past).
The fact that she provides an in-​home service automatically reduces my stress level, leaving me significantly more relaxed since I don’t have to hassle with driving and parking in Berkeley!
I’ve dealt with pain in the areas mentioned above for several years and feel that because of this, I rarely experience the luxury that many others have of a «relaxing» massage (i.e., aside from a few hot stone massages I’ve had at spas, most of the time I’m getting a massage because I’m in so much pain I can’t stand it any longer and the experience is an hour of deep pressure, focusing on sore areas and releasing tension and painful knots). The immediate result is soreness, followed by some relief within a day or two.
Somehow Alex manages to target the needed areas while still leaving me feeling relaxed which is quite an accomplishment from my perspective. I highly recommend Alex!

Alexandra Williams has taken courses in KInesiotaping and studied the anatomy of each joint. She artfully applies the tape to help muscles & tendons move in accurate alignment.
After she taped my knee I had less swelling & discomfort.
I was able to increase my exercise program without increased knee pain.
I highly recommend having Alexandra tape specific joints & teach you how to protect & support your own unique structure.

alex was able to fit us in last minute. she arrived on time, quickly set up and got to it. she’s professional, friendly, and most importantly, she knows her stuff. we were left relaxed and ready to tackle the week ahead. an awesome experience we’ll soon want to repeat!

Fantastic, Alex really has a gift. She’s a total knot whisperer. She was able to read my back with her hands, finding knots and points of tension I had no idea were there and resolving them with expertise. And there was never even a moment where it felt like she was on autopilot (you know, the «now the left arm, now the right arm, now the neck,» massaging everything the same way regardless of where the tight spots are format); she was completely engaged the whole time.
She is not only less expensive but is also better than most, which makes her a true find.

Alex is an incredible massage therapist! Each massage I’ve had with her is unique, a quality often lacking in massage therapists.
I love the way I find it effortless to time my breathing with her handwork so that when she’s getting deep into a particular area of soreness, I can be breathing out, allowing for her to go even deeper.
Her work is very sensitive in this regard and I trust that she’s listening (without me telling her) to whether my body wants a particular area deeper or lighter.
Furthermore, she seems to take on different styles effortlessly, a bit of Thai stretching, some acupressure trigger points, long flowing strokes, deep or light.
Her massage style is very comforting in that it’s easy to relax fully and trust that she’ll take care of you. I don’t find myself tensing up at all thinking that she’ll go too deep (ouch) or too light (boring) in a particular area. Plus, she’s got a technique for releasing the SCM (neck) muscle that’s awesome!

What a luxury to have Alex come over and do in-​home massage! I had a few 90-​minute sessions with Alex and she was great. I agree with all the previous reviews: comfortable, reasonable rates and friendly.

I know I’m repeating this, but Alexandra Williams really is a very talented massage therapist. I would recommend her to anyone. Friendly, affordable, professional, awesome.

Wonderful, professional in-​home massage at reasonable rates. Alex is great. We found her on Unilocal and she lived up to her 5 star reviews. I joined Unilocal just so I could also give her a 5 star review. I’m already looking forward to my next massage.

I am one of Alex’s first customers and she just keeps getting better & better. Even when I was pregnant she took the time to get licensed and kept me in comfort while on bedrest with my twins.
I have referred her to many of my personal friends and all of them have become regulars.
She has super strong hands and is really good at deep tissue or can give a gentle massage which is ideal depending on your mood.
She ROCKS !!!

Alex is truly talented and very professional. I had a fabulous 90 minuet massage in the comfort of my own home, and definitely plan to use her services again. As someone who has had many massages over the years at some of the top spas in California, i highly recommend her to anyone. Her great skill, low cost, and the convenience of in home treatment has made me re-​think ever returning to those fancy overpriced spas!

Alexandra is professional and talented. This was my first massage at home and Alexandra made my experience comfortable. Her services are affordable (55 dollars an hour). I had a deep tissue massage focused on my neck, shoulders, and back. Wonderful.
Anyone who has issues with transportation or simply too tired to travel for a massage, give Alexandra a call! I highly recommend her professional services.

I have found a wonderful new massage therapist, Alex Williams. She has been practicing massage her whole life, and she got out of massage therapist school a year ago. Massage is truly her passion, and you can tell.
The beauty of her services is that she comes to your home, for extremely reasonable prices. She charges $ 55/​hour or $ ⁸⁰⁄₉₀ minutes. She comes with her own table and supplies. You provide the space and music of your choice. I had a 90 minute massage yesterday that was wonderful.
I highly recommend her services. She will travel anywhere between Gilroy and Fairfield. Her email address is:
