Very interesting Shiatsu massage experience. Although it was a bit painful during the treatment, afterwards my back felt relaxed. Me and my husband got a couple's massage together and we were happy with their service. The therapists are very kind and professional and they know this technique very well. I really admire them for providing such a good service.

My partner & I came here (after reading all the great reviews) & both had a 60 minute full body massage by 2 of the staff members & it was absolutely amazing. We have been travelling for 3 months with heavy backpacks & were both experiencing very tight shoulders/neck & sore backs. The massages really eased a lot of this tension/discomfort, we both felt considerable relief following our massages. The staff were friendly, very professional & brilliant at their job. The massage was both relaxing and healing/therapeutic whilst also very affordable. Thank you Thusare Talking Hands for our great experience 🙂

Very good massage, therapeutic and healing. Simple and humble place and with excellent experience of shiatsu. I was a little bit ill when I went there, in fact my lung meridian was painful during the treatment but pressure points of my masseur healed me. You get your massage with your cloths on and without oil as this traditional technique demands. I love that they created a space where blind people can work fully being integrated with the community, great place, great service!

One of the best massages I’ve ever had. My wife and I went multiple times over our stay. These guys are very honest, very very reasonably priced, and amazing at what they do. It’s also a beautiful cause to support. Will happily go back 🙂

    What Our Clients Say

    Matsuo Keiko

    “The therapists here provide traditional shiatsu massages, similar to those provided in Japan. The experience is not only relaxing, but is a proper treatment of Oriental medicine. In Japan, many visually impaired people are acupressure therapists, as their sense of touch is much more sensitive than others. I strongly recommend people to try this out.”

    Anna Suvorova

    “These gorgeous people are not only kind, sensitive and compassionate human beings… they are highly skilled and very professional shiatsu massage therapists. Talking hands and loving hearts, not only they helped my persistent hamstring injury heal.”

    Yuwanmini Landersz

    “It was an experience. The treatment was professional, done very well and with great care. It’s also an inspiration to all of us that it’s possible for anyone to accept what life has offered and move forward to impact so many.”
