Massage Session Testimonials

Yesterday I was with Linda for a Californian massage, as always, what can I say? You are speechless ….

You feel pampered, cared for, loved. From the moment she greets you, Linda is all love, has an exquisite treatment, is sweet and attentive, the relaxed atmosphere with music, oils and candles, the spotless stretcher with white sheets, well, just enter and you notice a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

“Xavier Gil and Valquiria Plaza, what can I say about these two great human beings? As people, there are no words. As professionals, I invite you to try their massages, Californian massage with four hands, a professionalism and a love that there is no equal!
Friends of Barcelona, try it and tell me about this fantastic connection!!!
I love you very much!!!”

“I can’t say much about the massage because I prefer to live it and feel it. Xavi discovered a technique that has connected with me like a glove. I consider it a pure form of expression, authentic, sensitive and creative, healing, vital. Better than words. Silent art in movement. I have already decided that I am going to continue my learning with the next level of Californian massage with Xavi.”

His personal dedication and passion for his profession stands out immediately and transmits great security to his patients.”

“Every time I have been able to enjoy Xavier’s services it has been a full satisfaction and a recognition of his expert work and the quality and quality with which he performs it. Inevitable to recommend him 100%.”

“When you need to get rid of stress, when you no longer know how to relax, I recommend a massage by Xavi Gil: he knows how to create a very relaxing atmosphere and you leave the massage totally renewed without emptying your pockets :-). Do not hesitate and… you tell me! Besi.”

“An incredible massage! Since I discovered the Californian massage with Xavi, I don’t do another one…it connects you a lot, besides relaxing you and making you feel very good. Xavi is very professional…and that is much appreciated! He also cares about each person and follows up with them. highly recommended. Thank you :).”
