The Raintree Spa Retreat

My wife visited Scott before I did. She came back with rave reviews, which is not like her. My wife always has some drawback to report. She recommended I see him.
Just for background, I don’t get get massages, manicures, or anything else involving being handled by strangers. I’m not a massage expert, that’s my wife. However, I pulled a muscle in my neck that nagged me for a couple weeks and I finally broke down and made an appointment.
Scott works from the ground floor of a house he owns. The top half is rented out for ski season. He met me at the door and asked about my issues and explained how he would approach them. The hour and 30 minutes flew by. I had another commitment or I would have stayed longer, but the pain was gone. As I write this I am actually content and pain free for the first time in several weeks. I’m not a massage expert, but he fixed what I couldn’t stretch and wait out. If I need another massage, I’ll go back. I know my wife definitely will. She reports that he was a great person to talk to and that his conversation and insight my have been as therapeutic as the massage.
So, there you have it. My wife, the spa expert liked him. And I, the guy who disdains massage and all that, owes my freedom from pain to him. I don’t recommend much, but I think he’s worth seeing.

As a yoga instructor I had a fair share of massages in my life. Scott’s treatment definiteley ranks on the top of the list. He has a beautiful spa but most importantly he is a very knowledgable therapist who tailors his treatment to exactly what you and your body need. His signature hot towel treatment was a new one for me and I loved it. Highly recommended whether you are looking for a plain old massage or a deep body mind experience. Scott is fantastic!!!

Scott is an amazing massage therapist who knows how to make people feel comfortable and is very precise, knowledgeable and thorough when it comes to working with the body. I loved the hot towels and the visualizations that Scott suggested during the massage and I felt so tenderized and free in my back and neck after the session. I stayed at the Raintree retreat for a week while skiing and was impressed by the thought and energy that Scott put into creating the perfect place for relaxation. He’s created such a tranquil atmosphere at the Raintree retreat — from the meditation books on the shelves, to the inspirational scenery and artwork on the walls, to the pristine garden with blossoming trees, wind chimes, wonderful hammock and the sound of running water. He gets all the little details right in crafting an environment that makes one feel at ease, completely refreshed and renewed. I look forward to staying at the Raintree retreat again and getting another world class massage from Scott!

I’ve been receiving massages from Scott for several years and he does an amazing job. He has an uncanny sense of touch that allows his fingers to find and zero-​in on pulled and/​or sore muscles in my back without me even telling him about them, let alone where they are located. Scott is also a very friendly guy and very knowledgeable about good health habits. Highly recommended.

Scott is a talented therapist who takes the time to connect the body mind experience… It’s always a journey to ultimate healing specific to your body needs. He is one of the most knowledgeable therapists I know and as a fellow LMT, I respect that he is always learning and evolving his practice. Beautiful retreat with very nice amenities! A lot of thought goes into everything Scott does… How you do one thing, is how you do everything! I highly recommend Scott and his services. He is definitely worth checking out and you’ll be happy you did :-)

Wow! That was the best massage I’ve ever had. I’ve been a member at a massage chain for over two years now and seen a lot of different therapists in various locations but this topped them all. This massage was a gentle yet deep massage. The whole experience; the ambiance, attention to detail, the connecting breath, mind and body, was beautiful. Scott is a gifted therapist with so many skill sets to draw from as he is working with you for optimal release of tension stored in the body and overall relaxation and healing. He is very professional and genuinely caring. He was able to transform the way my body feels, releasing tension in old injuries like I’ve never had happen before. Even a day afterward I am feeling relaxed and loose in those areas that once held long term tension. I look forward to more sessions.

I loved the massage, the place and Scott. He is great and tailors the massage to your needs. Fantastic after a couple of days at the slopes

Scott does an outstanding job. He has the physical skills, knowledge base, and customer orientation to take massage to the next level. Specifically, he takes time to understand my issues and needs prior to and after the massage, and then works with me to achieve my goals. He gives his whole mental and physical focus for the duration of the session and employs a variety of techniques that are rarely used elsewhere. I feel both mentally and physically rejuvenated after a session. In the past 6 months, he has helped me work through significant back pain as well as rehab from a knee procedure. Since starting a regular massage schedule, he has helped me understand how to work with him to both treat and prevent injury. Highly recommended.

Scott is the one of the best massage therapist I had. My husband and I stayed at his retreat house during our ski trip to Alta. I had a massage after 2 days’ ski and it exceeded my expectation. He took time to talk about my massage history and access my muscle tensions. The massage helped relieve all the stress I had and I felt great afterwards. I wish he lives in SF! I’m sure I will be back in the future.

I have been going to this spa for years and the owner is talented and passionate about his work. If you have injuries and stress – book an appointment here! Scott takes the time to assess what your body needs and how he can best help. I highly recommend visiting this location.
