Spa Bliss by Chris

Chris is awesome! Knew how to apply exactly right amount of pressure. I think she has wings on her back. She is caring and treats the WHOLE person. Good price, great massage!

I’ve been using Chris’ massage service for a while now. You can tell she is professionally trained and is very intuitive to your needs. I would definitely recommend her again.

I bought a KGBDeals certificate which included 3 vouchers for services on
. I left Chris a message and got a response back right away. She was very accommodating and we booked a Saturday appt. Unfortunately, I work 2 jobs and one is on-​call. I got called in to work the day before so I had to cancel on Friday. She was very understanding. I then called her to book again and we booked on a Monday evening. She met me outside her office to let me in the first time and we went up to her air-​conditioned and very pleasant/​large office. She was very friendly and gave me an amazing massage. I was very relaxed afterwards. I had no problem giving her the full $ 20 gratuity along with the elivelife voucher. Yes, I agree that it is an odd thing that
requires an automatic $ 20 gratuity, but what I didn’t realize until now is that these therapists make next to NOTHING from the
vouchers except for the gratuity itself! These therapists work hard and deserve much more than that so please tip them, people!
I booked a second massage this evening and this is before I knew about the elivelife and the fact that the therapists get nothing but the gratuity and that you are only supposed to use one elivelife voucher per therapist and not again for the same therapist. I had no idea because I was misinformed by the elivelife voucher, KGBDeals, and also the rep on the phone. It is supposed to be just an introductory thing in order to get to know a therapist.
Chris Bliss’ massage are bliss indeed. She does not just give natal massages but can do relaxing and also therapeutic/​deep pressure. I highly recommend her, and please tip her the full $ 20 without question if you see her for the first time using the silly
voucher because that whole thing seems like a scam and these therapists make nothing off from it! The site is also clearly trying to promote multiple vouchers at once which really isn’t cool for the therapists and making money in this tough economy. Her normal massages are $ 50 an hour, which is more than reasonable, and it is well worth it! I would refer her to anyone without question. It is definitely
that needs to get their act together and that is a fact!

So four days past my due date, I finally decided to cash in on this
certificate for a pregnancy massage that my boyfriend purchased for me. I called and left a message on the phone number listed, Chris promptly called me back within half an hour and I was able to schedule an appointment for my massage for the next day.
The building in which her office is located is easy to find, next to Sushi Ota, in the same building as Planned Parenthood. Parking is a beezy though so I would get there early, or avoid scheduling your massage around lunch time (mine was 1pm on a Friday afternoon… bad timing for sure).
What made this a four star experience for me was that Chris still gave me my hour massage even though I showed up 20 minutes late (I mis-​read the address and thought her office was on Mission Blvd — not mission bay dr. and ended up getting stuck in Garnet ave traffic — Fail!). She was friendly and professional, and I felt very relaxed post-​massage.
The only complaint I have is that when I booked my appt over the phone with her, she told me the gratuity for the massage would be $ 20… the elivelife certificate stated it was $ 16. but when I brought it up she said she would take the $ 16 even though she said she had «talked with the owners of elivelife and it should have been changed» and she preferred $ 20. I’ve never heard of a 25% automatic gratuity for any service, and at first I thought it was very bad customer service to pretty much expect a $ 20 «tip». However, she was accommodating about my lateness, so I felt the extra $ 4 was fine.
My only other semi-​unrelated question which remains unanswered for now, is why
states her massage costs $ 80 plus $ 16 gratuity, when the massage services card that Chris gave me to take home states her prenatal massage is $ 50…

I got the same discount certificate as Nina T. Gave it to her with the $ 16 gratuity, no issues. Chris was on time, great massage, nice environment — would see her again.

I bought a
certificate from a Wellness Expo at work which included Chris Bliss pregnancy massage service. I was excited to find something nearby to choose from so I called right away and made my appointment. I have pregnancy brain so the next day I called back to confirm my appt, so I can’t believe she still botched my appt time.
The day of my appt, I got to the place 15 mins early, ready to get my massage on. I called Chris to let me in the building. You cannot enter the building unless someone comes out to get you. She didn’t answer her phone so I left her a message to let her know that I am outside waiting for her to come get me. 15 minutes later, my scheduled appt time — still no reply so I called again to let her know I am still waiting outside and to please give me a call to let me know if she is running late. No reply, so I sat in my car for about 20 mins more. Still no reply so I left extremely disappointed and needing to use the restroom. I wasted a total of 40 mins of my precious weekend. I was so disappointed. What a very unprofessional experience to be stood up after confirming the appt.
Chris Bliss finally called and left me a message the next day apologizing for the mix up. She put me down for a different date than confirmed. I understand that these things can happen but being in a service oriented business, she should really be more careful about booking appts — especially when customer called to confirm. She said I can still come in for the appt she have me down for but after being stood up I know I would not be relaxed during a massage there. I would probably be too focused on my experience of waiting for 40 mins and needing to use the restroom really bad. No bueno!
Bliss it was not, I am extremely disappointed. This was my experience, hopefully you will have a better experience than I did if you do decide to go here for a massage.
Also if you are using a
voucher — per the voucher it reads, «20% ($ 16) Gratuity based on regular value not included and must be paid at time of appointment» BUT Chris will say it is a $ 20 gratuity, cash only payment that you need to pay upfront. I always thought gratuity is based on the service provided, not tipping before you get serviced.
