Typically, I get monthly massages near my home, but since I was heading to Orcas I sought a different experience.

I found my way to A Massage by the Sea from Yelp reviews. Roxanne was wonderful! She took time to explain the techniques she was employing (hot stones, deep tissue, reflexology, harmonic sound therapy) and provided me space to relax. I was seeking treatment for neck/shoulder pain that I have ongoing, as a result of working long hours at a computer. In addition, I had hiked a few hours the previous day, so my hamstrings were tight. I selected the 90 minute orcas seaside special and was more than pleased with my experience. My only wish is that her business was closer to my home.

If you find yourself on Ocras Island, wanting a massage, her place is definitely where you should seek respite and healing. read less - 4/05/2017

Hot stones and the essential oils make for a great deep tissue massage. Really the absolute best hot stone massage I've ever had even without the other modalities but I found myself really feeling good with the entire treatment. Take my advice and book 90 mins. I have gone over the hour I planned on both visits with Roxanne and would have even enjoyed more time. Fortunately, she was able to be flexible.

So I've been around the block a few times, and Roxanne gives the best massages I've ever had.

She starts out using tuning forks and singing bowls, which, although I first thought were a bit crazy, relax my back more quickly than anything I've tried besides actual acupuncture. Feels great and sounds very peaceful, with a happy "bong bong" of ringing bell sounds around you. My back is immediately a ton easier to work on, and then she moves on to give an incredibly thorough massage using hot stones.

Roxanne is incredibly intuitive and knows her anatomy very well - she quickly honed in on issues that chiropractors and physical therapists have warned me about in the past. She took time after the massage to show me some good stretches for the psoas and muscles around the ITB.

My husband went to see Roxanne at A Massage by the Sea while on vacation on Orcas Island for a particularly painful bout of lower back pain. He was so blown away by her knowledge and healing abilities that he scheduled a massage for me later that same day so I wouldn't miss out on experiencing Roxanne's unique massage therapy style. She expertly blends the more familiar hot stone and deep tissue massage with tuning fork, singing bowls and Lomi Lomi massage techniques. The combination is magical as is the studio itself - warm and beautifully decorated with a soothing ocean theme and soft twinkling lights. Our visit to Roxanne at A Massage by the Sea was wonderful and we will definitely be back on our next visit to Orcas Island! read less - 4/08/2016

Roxanne also goes out of her way to promote health and wellness, helping me understand the techniques she was using and how I can continue taking care of my body at home. Thank you! read less - 11/23/2016

She put so much effort into every issue I was having and loosened me up so much. I appreciate the true passion she puts into her work. Roxanne is also very flexible and got me into an appointment with one day notice and even texted me to set up + send easy to follow directions. I can’t wait to come back to see her next time I’m on the island! Thanks, Roxanne!!! read less - 9/23/2019

The ambience of her space is the first hint this is no ordinary massage. Soothing lighting, blues, greens, silks, shells, glass art, it's like stepping into a gypsy caravan. Experienced and skilled, she is patient and tenacious in coaxing fascia and muscle into softness. No one has ever used hot rocks so adeptly on me. I like deep massage and she is strong and can deliver. The tuning forks and singing bowls are a great vibe and feel awesome. I've had 3 massages with her now and I will continue to put myself in her nourishing hands. read less - 1/28/2018

I have had several massages here for relaxation and general tension, this is easily the best place EVER!
great atmosphere, music, decor, true professionalism..

Why I am a devoted fan is..I recently had shoulder injury, thought it would require surgery. I discussed with Roxanne my issues, she pressed on muscles, found problem spots, worked on them acute with several techniques, hot stones, Lomi, deep tissue, for about 90 minutes.
After a single session, pain was 90% reduced and only improved over next few days.

I went from not being able to work to not even thinking about the discomfort..Amazing!

If you get the opportunity, don't miss out! Roxanne is the best! read less - 5/21/2016

Such a unique experience where the masseuse used tuning forks and metal bowls to send vibrations through your muscles to prime them for massage. It totally worked and I swear she got all the knots out of my back which never seems possible. Couldn't recommend more! read less - 9/26/2017

She utilizes hot stones, essential oils in ayurvedic fashion, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Tuning Forks, and a wonderfully heated massage table to relax you and de-toxify your body. I frequently request her services, because she makes me feel good, she is knowledgeable about the human body, and has over 20 years of experience with massage. I think she is a unique masseuse because of her level of expertise, and her ability to utilize all of these tools to make sure your pain goes away. Drink plenty of water afterward! I will forever employ her services!Due to COVID-19 Pandemic Protocols, you will have to wear a mask, have your temp checked at the door, and go through a check-list to ensure safety, She also wears a mask when she performs massage. The environment felt very safe and clean! read less - 10/17/2020

Roxanne and Elysee (sp?) put us at ease in their exotically decorated studio with their friendly easy-going nature. They worked their therapeutic magic while we stretched out on comfortable massage tables draped in warmed sheets. They applied a variety of techniques such harmonic bowls and tuning forks which were new to us but intriguing. Our favorite though was the hot stones and deep tissue massage. So thoroughly relaxing for our tight and weary muscles. read less - 1/17/2018

Due to COVID-19, she has had to undergo the same protocols as anyone in this type of business. You go in, get your temp checked, and then wear a mask while you get a massage, and she wore her mask. It was very professional and awkward, but we made it work. Awkward, because who wants to wear a mask during a massage? Roxanne, utilizes techniques that I never thought would work to alleviate physical pain, and she is very knowledgeable about the human body. The Tuning Forks, Singing Bowls, and Essential Oils she uses in tandem with relaxing music, has this de-toxifying effect that can be felt well after the massage. She is one of the BEST Masseuses in the San Juan Islands!! She has a customer in me, for life! read less - 10/14/2020

At first I was a little startled by the bowls she placed on my back and rang like a gong...but she won me over with the hot stone massage and my choice of scented oils. Roxanne was great, and everyone was happy with their massages. read less - 8/07/2016
