Anna Perez – Back in Balance

I’ve been seeing Anna for a few months now. First not pregnant and now pregnant :) She is really sweet and knows what she’s doing. I look forward to the appointments!

Anna is a gem to have in your life– especially when you’re pregnant! She has been able to alleviate all the tension in my body and all the pain from my swollen hands and feet. She makes you feel virtually good as new and forget you’re heavily pregnant. Anna is able to help my body relax so much that after the massage, I’d have the best sleep, waking up feeling extremely well rested, and good to go. She is my go to for massages. Forget going to other local massage parlors for their prenatal massages. Those masseuses have no clue what they are doing.

I had a horrible experience today. In all my life I had never been stood up until today. Now let’s keep in mind, I’m 6 months pregnant and I’m very emotional and in physical pain. This is my 3^rd child so things are a bit crazy for me.
About a week ago I decided to look for a place to go for a pregnancy massage. I’m all about supporting my local businesses so I Unilocaled. All the reviews were great for Anna Perez so I decide to give her a call. I left a message and no call back for several days. She finally returned my call to which she said she was pretty busy but gave me several options. She said it’s $ 65 for one hour and she accepts cash or check. That sounded great so I decided to book for Wednesday at 3pm. Now as I mentioned before, I have two other kids. I had to arrange for someone to get my son from school and watch my 4 year old. I planned my whole entire day around it because I just needed relief. The day before she sent me a confirmation text which I responded to.
The day of, I show up 10 minutes prior as requested by Anna. I drove about 20 minutes to her house. I ring the door bell and nothing. I wait and wait and nothing. I call her, no answer. I texted, «I’m outside and no one is coming to the door.» I text again. Nothing. I text again, «not sure what happened but I’ll wait 5 more minutes. I’m pretty sure my appointment was at 3pm.» Nothing… I walked to my car and drive away. To be honest with you all I cried a bit. I finally got some time to myself for some pampering and this happens. I felt totally bummed.
Fifteen minutes later I get a call from her. I wanted her to say turn around come back, so sorry. However, she proceeded to say she was sorry and that she lost track of time. That she didn’t hear the door bell and that she was on a very important call. That her son is off to college in another state and that he is having trouble with his scholarship. I sympathize, I have kids but a text to cancel would have been ok with me. She kept going… She said that she was not even ready anyway and that she could see me tomorrow. I was in shock. I said I couldn’t that I had arranged the whole day just for this. She had the nerve to tell me «oh I thought you were just free and that you could come at anytime.» So I said no it was also a long drive because of traffic. She says, «so what are you saying? I cannot proceed today. I have other appointments I cannot move.» At that point I said I was canceling my appointment and if I had time I’d call her back.
We all have things going on in our lives but if you are running a business be respectful to clients. Offer a discount to reschedule our give a sincere apology. It just seemed like I was just another pregnant lady she didn’t care about. On second thought, I’m glad she didn’t massage me. I don’t need someone transferring their negative energy to my baby and I. Burke Williams it is!

I found Anna on Unilocal last year when I was pregnant. I saw her through out my whole entire pregnancy. SHE IS THE BEST BEST BEST. She was able to work on my sciatic nerve really well till the pain vanished. She has a special pillow for your belly so you are actually able to lay on your belly. I saw her every 2 weeks and it was such a great time for me to relax and just enjoy the time there. I am still seeing her now after the baby and i recently got a massage with the hot stones. Anna is really friendly and a wonderful masseuse that truly enjoys delivering relaxation to your body and mind.
5 star — HIGHLY RECOMMEND !

I started having serious Braxton Hicks starting at 23 weeks, frequently enough that I went home from work early multiple times. I had a very stressful job, was on my feet all day and worked with extremely violent children at the time. I was also carrying very low from early on with my sweet boy’s head down from 28 weeks. Needless to say, I was certain my baby would be here early. I found Anna at about 30 weeks, I think. Right after I had my first massage with her, my body relaxed and my BH stopped. I knew then I would make it full-​term.
Anna has healing hands, a healing spirit, and compassionate heart. Whether I wanted to ramble on or lay quiet, she was happy to go with my flow. She does face-​down prenatal massages using support pillows. She works with very fast and firm hands. Her work is brisk and thorough. She creates a completing relaxing experience at the same time. I thought the Buddha fountain and music selection were perfect compliments to the hands-​on part of the massage. Anna excels at her craft.
As I expected, my baby came three weeks before expected, but he made it four days past full-​term! I am certain that without Anna’s massage, he would have been here much earlier than that. In the end, Anna got my body to such a good place that I was 90% effaced, 4 centimeters dilated, and –1, but had no idea I was in labor. In fact, I ended up going all the way through without feeling any pain at all. (caveat: I got an epidural right before the Dr. broke my water — I was at 7 centimeters, +2 and 100% effaced by then anyway still will no pain, so I figured why start feeling pain now.) In any case, I love Anna and cannot recommend her enough. She does her work with love and I know that passed to my baby.

I started seeing Anna when I was 18 weeks along. I am now 38 weeks and would be in such bad shape if it wasn’t for Anna! She is such a godsend! The last 2 months I’ve been going to her weekly due to my pelvic/​tailbone/​lower back pain/​swelling issues. She has a standard massage routine but tailors each visit to where you need it most. Besides being able to lie face down from the special pillow she has, her hands work like magic and make each visit so worth it! I am so glad I found her earlier in my pregnancy. After giving birth, I plan on continuing my visits with Anna!

I am 36 wks preg and totally bummed I am just now finding Ana! Ana is a true healer! What an incredible, relaxing and helpful experience. I would highly recommend her to everyone pregnant or not! She makes you feel comfortable and she is confident in her knowledge and has a true gift! I have had many massages and I know what my body expects and likes from massages, i do not like «feel good» massages because all that tells me is it wont actually help me. She clearly helps and the end result is my body FEELING GOOD!!! Her price is reasonable and well worth it. Do yourself a huge favor and see her asap if you are pregnant!

I saw Anna from week 10-​week 42 of pregnancy. You read that right, I went 2 weeks past my due date and Anna made it bearable. She actually made the whole pregnancy so much more comfortable. And wow, the hot-​stone postnatal massage is to die for!
She has this great pillow that allows you to lie stomach down and it can be adjusted to your growing belly. Towards the end of my pregnancy I would get really lightheaded on my back, even propped up, so Anna worked with me and found positions I was comfortable in.
And for less than half the price of other pregnancy massages you’d be crazy not to see her, pregnant or not.
Just make sure to book your appointment ahead of time, since she doesn’t work every day and books up fast.

I called no less than ten times. No one ever answered, unless the phone number on here is incorrect. I left a message but no one called me back. Masseuse may be great but if you can’t reach her, what’s the point?

I wish I had found Anna sooner! I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant. I have had several ok prenatal massages, but after experiencing Anna, I will never go to anyone else. Her special belly pillow allowed me to fully relax so she could target all of the tense areas in my body. She has some strong fingers, too! I have found my lifelong go-​to masseuse. Oh, and her prices are hard to beat!!!

I feel blessed to have been referred to Anna while pregnant with my first child. Each visit with Anna, I left feeling like I was on cloud nine. She has just the right amount of pressure and knows just where you need extra attention.
For all you pregnant mamas out there, Anna is an angel sent from above to ease your achy back and feet. Even if you have the most amazing husband who is willing to rub your back endlessly. one session with Anna and her special baby bump pillow that allows you to lay face down instead of on your side and you’ll be hooked! You can start getting a massage in your 2^nd trimester and continue up until birth. My last prenatal massage session with Anna was the day before I gave birth!
While prenatal may be Anna’s specialty, she is an overall amazing massage therapist. I have continued to go to Anna after the birth of my baby girl and her hot stone massage is incredible. She is the first referral I give to expecting mamas and anyone asking for a great massage. I have referred many soon-​to-​be mamas and non-​expecting friends to Anna because I know how amazing they will feel after a massage with Anna.
Thank you Anna for all the amazing massages over the past year or so. I look forward to many many more! :)

The best prenatal massage ever!!! Anna is the best. My son is now 9 months old and I am longing for a massage from Anna. I booked my 1^st massage when I was 6 months pregnant and was hooked when I met Anna and experienced one of her prenatal massages. You can also lay tummy down because she has a special pillow that supports you and your baby bump. And it is very safe. I continued to have massages up until my due date. She is very attentive to your needs and really gives a deep massage where you need it especially with all the aches and tension built up during pregnancy. She is very professional and really an expert in her craft. I recommend her to all my prego friends and also non-​prego friends who are looking for a great massage. You must go to her!!! :) THANKS ANNA!

I first began going to Anna for massage when I was pregnant with my second daughter. She has a special pillow for pregnant ladies to lay face down, and that felt amazing, not to mention her technique left me feeling so much more relaxed and comfortable. Anna goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are comfortable and receive individualized care. She encouraged me throughout each massage to relax and to give feedback on if she could make the experience more relaxing for me. She is so caring like that. Also, I prefer silence during massages. Anna quickly picked up on that and followed suit, although I’m sure she’d be happy to have conversations with clients if that is what they wanted. I think she just wants to make sure that everyone who comes through her doors has a great experience and that they leave feeling much better than when they came in.

This is a review for Anna Perez, the best massage therapist in town!
I had been searching for the right therapist who was knowledgeable in providing service for pregnant women for a while. My coworker who was pregnant at the time referred me to Anna.
I started to going to Anna since the third trimester of my pregnancy. I recall at my 1^st visit, I had every pregnancy-​related ache & pain and after an hour of amazing work by Anna I felt relaxed and tension-​free. I was so happy that I immediately bought a 5 session package.
For pregnant women, Anna provides a special pillow that supports our giant belly and chest so you can lay face down and enjoy the massage comfortably. She is attentive to details and really takes her time to work on the problem areas you may have. She also taught me how to lie correctly when facing down on the massage table. I had not experienced that type of attention and knowledge from any other spa therapist. Her price is also reasonable. You get a better deal when you buy a package. Unlike other spa/​massage place, Anna gives you a full 60 minutes of quality massage.
Anna is extremely professional. For every appointment, Anna will call me one day before the actual appointment day to confirm the service. Her office is next to the Huntington Memorial Hospital and she shared the office spaces with several obgyn. You do not need to see the obgyn from the same office in order to see Anna. (My obgyn is Dr. Cindy Chou and I delivered my baby at the Methodist Hospital).
I am extremely thankful for Anna’s exceptional service. Now, with a toddler and a newborn, I find myself exhausted. Getting a massage from Anna has become a treat. I recently had my 8^th massage session with Anna and I am looking forward to my next massage. Every time it takes me at least 30 – 40 minutes of commute time to see Anna, but she is worth it! If you are looking for a professional, kind, and sweet massage therapist, she is the one!
