Linea Body

I miss Kendra! She is a very caring and thorough massage therapist. You know that she wants to help you, and that she takes pride in her ability to get your muscles and your mind to relax. Her dedication to sports massage and intuition as well as listening skills (to your words and what your body is saying) makes her simply the best!
I wish I could come to her all the time! Her calm demeanor is contagious and you are likely to feel in much better shape than you were when you came in, physically and spiritually! Like a mini-​vacation/​reminder: this is how I should take care of myself!
Thank you for being so wonderful!

What makes a good massage good?
I received gift certificates for «relaxing massage» (i.e. Swedish) in the past and I didn’t find them particularly useful. Whether you’re physically active or passive (sitting at your computer desk all day), deep tissue massage should be your monthly ritual.
It’s not necessarily relaxing (our muscles get really tense!) but a couple of days after receiving it you should reap the benefits of a real relaxation. They say that the health of our mind has a great impact on the health of our body. Well, I have also experienced the opposite-​being rid of physical tension, I was mentally relaxed as well.
Kendra has a great technique which complements her positive attitude in general. At one point during my massage she discovered my tennis elbow and recommended homeopathic remedy for it available at Whole Foods. Need to stretch at home? Kendra will give you useful tips. Her office is located on the third floor of the Moksha Life center at 405 Sansome St (cross street Sacramento). The closest MUNI/​BART station is Montgomery St; Kendra informed us that there is also a public parking garage on Kearny between Clay and Washington.
You can thank me later :)

Honestly the best massage I’ve ever gotten — She was intuitive, attentive, and never once did I feel like she was either too firm or too soft. She did a great job working with a particular sore spot on my body, and I’d highly recommend her if need to relax or have an ache that needs attention.

Kendra is an absolute GODSEND!
I’ve had a few massages in San Francisco from massage therapists that studied in California and I’ve been disappointed. I love my city/​state/​etc, but after getting my massage from Kendra — I’m thinking they should up the number of hours required for licensing in Cali. Kendra studied in New York. To get licensed there — you must do the following:
«Certified Massage Therapist:
Complete coursework in anatomy, physiology, neurology, myology or kinesiology, pathology, hygiene, first aid, CPR, infection control procedures, the chemical ingredients of products that are used and their effects, as well as the theory, technique and practice of both oriental and western massage/​bodywork therapy. Within the 1000 hours of education, you will have had to complete a minimum of 150 hours of practice on a person.»
1000 hours!
I read on the California Massage Therapy licensing:
Certified Massage Therapist:
1. 500 education Hrs with 250 of those Hrs from an approved school.
2. A passing score on either the MBLEx or the NCETMB/​NCETM and documented work history for at least two years.
3. Holds a current license or certification from a U.S. state or Canadian province with greater or equal requirements to CA.
250 hours from an approved school? That’s ¼th the amount of time.
I only say this because I want to emphasize the strength this woman has in her practiced hands! I left her table feeling incredible.
Her space is very nice. I prefer to go on the weekends or after ‘business’ hours because it’s above a gym, but very very comfortable. She puts on whatever kind of music you like and doesn’t try to get all hippie on you. (Something I really appreciate.)
She’s also VERY reasonably priced.
5-​stars, Kendra! I’ll be back for sure.

I love, love, love Kendra. Many body workers –even those who specialize in sports massage– are too «granola and incense,» which makes me uncomfortable. Kendra is extremely professional without giving me that «touchy feely» feeling. Her knowledge and skill are unparalleled, and she is also actively involved in the community. I refer all my clients to Kendra, and also drop her name whenever I can to other folks because I really believe in her work. Really.

Kendra is absloutely incredible! Through her I was able to step up my game from fu fu Swedish massages to the big boy Deep Tissue masssages. She’s great for first time clients and well experinced ‘walk on my back’ type cats! MOS DEF must go try her out! And her prices are majorily decent! Book something now! You won’t regret it!

Kendrae rocks! She does a really really good job at knowing what is going on with your body! I feel like a whole new person when she is done with me! I never feel as though she forgot to nead out any part of my back! I train a lot and recommend all of my clients to her! I cannot stress how important it is to get a massage from the right person that is very knowledgable about the human body! The facility is clean and comfortable to relax in a state of bliss! Cheers to Kendrae!

I’m actually a personal friend of Kendra, and was in desperate need of some body work. I was actually a bit nervous about having a friend work on me (I don’t know why — just a weird hang up I guess), but Kendra is about as professional as they come. She put me at ease, asked me all types of questions about my lifestyle, diet, general body health, etc.
Now, my back is absolutely a WRECK. Like, permanently a mess. But Kendra managed to put me in good working order in an hour… I was loosened up, my range of motion was no longer limited, and I felt (overall) HEAPS better physically afterward. I’ve had many pros work on me before and never reach that level of success. In fact, most have found my back to be more challenging than any normal human being. Kendra had me back to as close to normal as I’d ever expect to get in that single hour session.
If you need a serious massage, and want it done by someone who really knows her stuff and puts forth more than the required effort, go see Kendra… she’s a life saver!

I was introduced to Kendra thru my trainer at Body Mechanix.
I am a pretty big guy and routinely struggle to find a massage therapist that can make it worth the time. Kendra was able to perform a great deep tissue massage. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout… was a great escape for the complete 60 minutes! She has been doing it for years and although this was my first visit, I intend to get on a regular schedule with her.

I met Kendra at Linea body, through our co-​op «Body Mechanix.» She was very professional from the moment I met her, (great handshake). Kendra showed me to the massage room at the facility and reviewed my general health, and what was to be expected. I have only had 1 massage prior to this so I’m still fairly new to this process… She of course left the room and told me to undress to what I was comfortable with, and she would be back in a few. When she returned she set up some music (much better selection than the elevator music you hear at some places). and again talked about what she was going to do, as she also gave me some back ground on her… The chit-​chat was nice, I think it gave her a sense of how much pressure she could use, (listening to my voice and whether or not I was breathing… Just kidding). We did a deep tissue massage, and for you that don’t know what that is. Let me just say that it will definitely loosen you up. ha ha Anyway, she did an awesome job on me all over. she uses some stretches as she massages which is really nice, especially for me. I am a personal trainer, and I don’t stretch like I should. you know how it goes. Kendra kicks butt. she is @ 1074 Folsom st in SF. and they are having an «open house» on Friday with free & discounted massage, Free drinks and a lot more. so go check it out…
