Tuning fork, singing bells, then a hot stone massage with essential oils. Roxanne is a master and seems to know every place that needs work. Her studio is tastefully decorated, peaceful, relaxing music, a quiet space, and Roxanne is very intuitive about what technique is right in the moment. And did I mention that it is in the best place on earth, Orcas Island? I am particular about massage, and this was mind-blowing! This is my new favorite treat to myself! Money well spent, and worth every penny and more. read less - 10/28/2015

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

She expertly blends the more familiar hot stone and deep tissue massage with tuning fork, singing bowls and Lomi Lomi massage techniques.

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. For several years, I've come back every time I'm in Orcas Island get a wonderful massage! read less - 5/25/2019

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.

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.

We were quite sore from all the hiking we had done the previous days so it was a perfect time for a massage. The two masseuses (owner and employee) were lovely folks. The atmosphere inside was wonderfully relaxing with good music, aromas, and lighting. Massage tables were comfortable and no part of the process was awkward at all.

Highly recommend the "works" couple massage. If you are a bigger individual with a need for deep tissue, the owner is the masseuse you want! This was the best massage I've ever received. Tuning forks and Tibetan bowls to begin allowed my body and mind to relax for the experience. The bowls were so much more soothing than I imagined and put me into quite the relaxed meditative state. Next came the rollers for the back and hot stones. The owner spent much more time on my back with hot stones (something new to me) and it was delightful. If you are bringing a special someone with you... get a couples massage here... its worth it! Thanks guys for the wonderful experience! read less - 7/23/2016

My husband and I were in need of bodywork from playing hard and working hard, "A Massage by the Sea" returned us to working order and put us in a receptive space to continue our vacation. Thank you Roxanne and team for fitting us in on a busy weekend, we we're able and fit to enjoy everything else tightly scheduled during our holiday. We'll see you on all our trips back up to the San Juans. read less - 11/23/2018

I loved the experience of the Orcas Seaside Special while relaxing in the beautiful Renaissance room. From the tuning forks and the singing bowls to the hot stones and music, my massage experience was incredibly relaxing and wonderfully therapeutic. Not just this, but I'm also 6 months pregnant and I still felt whale taken care of [pun intended ;)]. I felt that my pregnancy would get in the way of a good massage, but it was very comfortable and professional. read less - 11/23/2018

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

They both are highly professional and ensured that we had the best possible experience for a couples massage! Hot stone massage was fantastic and the resonating of the gongs went everywhere through my body. The studio was very nice smelling and the beds are heated, if required. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back next time we visit Orcas Island! Thanks so much!! read less - 10/10/2022

Roxanne is first and foremost a wonderful masseuse. She uses different tools and techniques to provide a healing and restorative treatment. 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. I went in with very specific pain issues and walked out 100% better. Plus she is right in the heart of Eastsound so easy to walk in or make an appointment to be sure you don't miss out. read less - 8/01/2016

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

She has strong hands and a magical establishment. Very relaxing and informative as she is constantly learning new methods and ways to enhance your message experience. I also heard that the family time she does with kids playing with the singing bowls is awesome! read less - 9/25/2018

I overworked on cabin projects and ended up with a tweaked and sore shoulder which lead me to google massage spots. So grateful I discovered Roxanne, as I had the most enjoyable massage of my life. Not only was it beautiful and peaceful (singing bowls! tuning forks! hot stones!), it was truly therapeutic and healing for my shoulder. I cannot wait to return, and cannot recommend her enough! read less - 3/10/2018

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 - 9/24/2019
