Today was my first time in. I had the 90 minute therapeutic massage and Caroline was the masseuse. She did a FANTASTIC job. ...I have zero complaints and I can't wait to go again! Carol, the owner I believe, was extremely kind and professional; she offered me wonderful customer service (nice to experience since customer service seems to be lacking across the board at all businesses nowadays).

I've gotten massages, facials, and body scrubs from this establishment and all of them have been very professional.Helping Hands deserves 5 stars because they listen to your needs and customize every service with notes for the future. That's so hard to come by, especially for massages. More...

I always love coming to helping hands and getting my relaxation needs met. I refer this amazing team to anyone and everyone. I've been coming here for years and now my partner comes and loves it too. Just an amazing team. Carol and her husband really worked hard and did all the research they could to find out about the benefits of essential oils for themselves and found out a way to share this incredible gift with everyone they could! I wish I could give them 10 stars More...

I was a little skeptical about going to Helping Hands for my sciatic pain because I had tried so many other pain relief methods with no success (chiropractor, doctors, tens unit, medications, etc). The ONLY thing that brought me ANY relief was HENRY. He was such a pleasure to chat with during my session! When my appointment was over, I thought I would be stuck with this pain forever since I felt no relief. By the time I walked to my car, my pain had MELTED away. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I will definitely be back to finish ridding my body of this awful sciatica pain. Henry and Carol truly care about the work they do and want nothing more than for you to be happy and healthy. I'm looking forward to my next appt! More...

Absolutely love this place. Although sometimes it may be hard to get an appointment last minute, it is truly because they're busy healing others. I started out with Jenny who moved, then worked with Ellen and Janessa. Whoever you go to, guaranteed, they will be great. The entire staff is patient, kind, and works hard to help you heal and excel in whatever area you need assistance in. More...

Carol is amazing, positive, and the best person to see when you first walk in the door. Corinna is the my favorite person to see. Positive, professional, and gives the perfect massages! I’ve gotten the deep tissue and the micro and both are amazing. This is the best place when feeling tense or having pains. They will lift your spirits and help your body feel better too! More...

After reading great reviews, I decided to call and book an appointment. I called on a Saturday and got me in the very next day for a therapeutic massage. I had been in SEVERE back pain for about a week after throwing my back out. When I called, the receptionist reassured me that they have delt with this problem plenty of times, and made me feel so hopeful they would be able to help me. When I came into my appointment the check-in pricess was great, they took a thorough medical history. When I was taken into the room the massage therapist took the time to talk to me and explain everything to me on how she was going to help me. She showed me all the amazing essential oils she was going to use. The massage was amazing. My back pain was practically gone during the massage and I honestly feel that it cut down on my recovery time. Will keep coming back. 100 percent!! Cant say enough good things and am SO appreciative for their skills. More...

Wish I found this place 5 years ago. Wow! This place was such a great find. (Thanks Yelp!) I was in desperate and I mean DESPERATE need of some massage therapy for my neck, shoulders, and back. I called and Carol was so welcoming, kind, and helpful. After asking several questions she concluded that the Cranial Massage would be the best solution for the pain I was experiencing. I was hesitant at first as I didn't think I needed any part of my scalp worked on, but agreed so that I could be seen ASAP.First of all, I am SO thankful that Carol recommended the treatment of a Cranial Massage. I had no clue that you could have knots in your head! My headache was relieved instantly!!! It shows that they truly care about what your needs are and fulfilling them!Secondly, how the massage is only $35 is seriously too-good-to-be-true! That was almost a deterrent for me, like, why is it so cheap?! But, shhhh don't tell them that because I'd like it to stay that way so I can go all the time (maybe that's the explanation right there! ha!)Lastly, HENRY HENRY HENRY. I had my massage with Henry, the miracle-worker/ aromatherapy guru/ muscle genius. I have paid HUNDREDS for the type of massage that Henry provided. I was in HAPPY TEARS from the relief I felt afterwards. He is absolutely amazing and I am counting the days until I have a full 90 minute treatment with him! If you are uncomfortable having a man provide your treatment, know that he is professional, gentle, and very knowledgeable and skilled in his field.I have already booked two more appointments and will probably visit the salon once a month FOREVER.

Walking into this lil corner of Modesto is like walking into Narnia. As soon as you enter from the busy street off Needham it is incredibly peaceful. As I was being walked around I was surprised at how big it was because from the outside it looks so small. I have had probably about 3 massages in my life so this was a whole new thing for me. So far in the past two months I have had two massages with Corinne, I see this will be a regular monthly routine of mine now! I added the hot atones the first time and it felt so amazing! I love that everything they use is natural. Carol is the sweetest when calling or asking questions, taking the time to make sure I am ready to go back into the world. I got a gift card for my boyfriend and he recently had one there and already has another booked in a couple weeks! So happy this place was recommended to me by a coworker! More...

This is a little piece of perfection in downtown. I just had a 90 minute therapeutic massage with Henry. I am so impressed with his skill and knowledge of the body. He is very communicative about his plan of attack for your muscles. I felt so relaxed and at ease. I have gotten quite s few massages in my life and I can honestly say, hands down best massage to date. I feel so much muscular relief and am excited for even more in upcoming appointments. I thought I was just breaking down because I'm over 40 but I have hope that I can be fixed. More...

Helping Hands is a wonderful place for healing massage and aromatherapy! I was recently in Modesto for a few months, taking care of some very stressful family business. I was fortunate enough to discover Helping Hands through a friend's recommendation, and I can honestly say that getting regular theraputic massages from Corinna Gardner saved my sanity and my body! She has incredible massage therapy skills, and the whole experience was amazing. Their in-house aromatherapy blends are awesome, too. I will definitely go back whenever I am in Modesto, and highly recommend this outstanding business! More...

Super friendly staff! I came in for a much-needed cranial massage and Corinna definitely did not disappoint. She walked me through the whole process before we proceeded with anything. She even explained the purpose of each step and what products we'll be using. She's very knowledgeable and highly skilled. Extremely professional and has a warm disposition. If I were a local I'd definitely work this into a routine maintenance. Highly recommended! I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again. More...

It had been a while since I was last here and that was only for a facial which I loved. My hubby bought me a gift certificate for Xmas and I was excited to have a spa day. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a esthetician at the time, but stuff happens. My appt with Ellen was amazing. She explained what was going to happen for my 3 treatments and aftercare as well. After I picked up the Soothing Balm oil blend which smells heavenly.

Words cannot explain how much I absolutely love this spa! I have been to different spas in La Jolla, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, and a resort in Mexico. .. NONE are attentive and so welcoming! I have gotten a cranial, oil scalp massage, and now scheduled for a prenatal massage. I will continue to come back here every time I need some peace, quiet, and relaxation. Just walking through the doors gives you a sense of calmness, and my schedule is hectic... so every time I'm in pain unfortunately it is last minute when I call... but Carol gets me in each time!!!

I was helping a friend plan something special for his fiancee. I called and spoke to Carol and I asked LOTS of questions. She was VERY helpful . I can't remember the name of the package that I made reservations for, but it was a combination of 4 services. On the day of our appointment, Carol called me to let me know that due to unforseen circumstances one of the services wouldn't be available. She could have easily waited to tell me after arriving for our appointment, but she let me know a few hours in advance. I appreciated that she did that even taking a chance that I'd cancel the appointment. Then I had a problem and was running a little late. I called Carol and she was VERY helpful and was able to work with me so we could still make our appointment. When we arrived, we were greeted by very friendly staff. We ultimately had an amazing time and could not have been happier! More...

I'm in love! This place is amazing. My shoulder Was killing me. On a scale of 1 - 10 my pain was at 15. It hurt to breathe and I could barely move it. Hours before having to be at work I was stressed and scrolled through Google for help. I came across helping hand and remember it I sent my fiance here for his birthday maybe 3-4 years ago. I called and explained how much pain I was in and they were able to squeeze me in. My masseuse was Henry who was beyond amazing. He was really nice and was able to read what was wrong with my muscles and what he needed to do to help me. After leaving I couldn't stop thinking how nice everyone is at Helping Hands. They really saved me that day. I was able to go to work for 12 hours and it seems like my shoulder just kept feeling better. I'm so excited to continue going here and trying the other services they have to offer. I had a bad experience at different massage place 5 years ago and never wanted to go back but Helping Hands and Henry completely changed my mind. More...

I rarely leave a Yelp review of a place until I've utilized their services more than once (to get an accurate picture of how the business is truly conducted), but this place was too great to not say something positive about. The owner who scheduled me was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The massage therapist was very professional, and gave me some good information about what could possibly be causing my headaches. They weren't trying to upsell either. His solution wasn't "more massages." He told me that the way I describe my headaches, what I really need to do is get an eye exam. He also explained whatever knots he felt and what I could do on my own to prevent them. Very clean, nice atmosphere as well. Great place to go, I highly recommend it. More...

I called today to be seen for a therapeutic massage and they got me in less than two hours later. Once you walk inside it smells amazing of aromatherapy oils and there is water with lemon while you wait. I was massaged by Ellen today and although she is tiny her hands work like magic and eased away a lot of my tension and when I left my shoulders had dropped.

This place is amazing. I have lived in the bay and other cities, and I don't know too many places that is consistently as good as this place. Claremont spa in Berkeley comes to mind, but this place is a lot more affordable for sure. I like firm massage and I usually don't care about ambience, but this place got both. All the masseuse are really good, and the place is clean and has a very calming atmosphere with nice little touches like aroma therapy selections and herb tea at the entrance. I had Jennifer for 90min massage and it was really good, though I would loved it more if she could work the knots more. More...
