Thank you for coming to Terra Massage.
We would like to have your feedback about your experience with us.
I have been fortunate to experience many massage professionals and i have to say that Joachim ranks at the very top of those who trully understand the physiology of sport injury and how to rejuvinate those muscles/nerves that had been impacted. I recommend him highly!

Thank you for the best massage I’ve ever had. Joachim did a wonderful job and helped relieve me of pain, even working past the hour mark to help get one more spot in my neck. Thank you again for a great experience. I will definitely be back!
Joachim is one of the rare healers who sees the bigger picture of your body and health – he is not just a masseuse but a gifted body whisperer. Highly recommended!
As a Chiropractor I have hired many massage therapists in the past and have two that work for me now. I received a coupon to have a massage at Terra Massage from my sister while visiting here for Christmas.
I can say without doubt that Joachim gave me the best massage that I have ever had! He is very good and knows where all the “sweet” spots are…..I wish he lived in Kentucky!
After several weeks of back pain, one massage with Joachim and I was no longer hunched over and uncomfortable. Now I know that his hands work wonders!
I came to Joachim for his wisdom regarding a long-term running injury in a tendon near my ankle. His interest in sports, anatomy, and movement make him a fabulous resource, and as it turned out, his analysis of my specific issue was enough to get me in his office five more times. I improved markedly after each time he worked on me. Our weekly sessions focused on gross and subtle movements and running form. He was able to learn that the issue in my foot was in no way local to that area, but instead connected to tightness and imbalance higher up in my hip flexors and glutes. My running today is completely different. I credit Joachim’s keen attention to the body’s interconnectedness as well as his incredible care for posture and alignment.
Amazing- Regular massage person and I have never had a better experience!
Thanks for the excellent care and terrific massage(s). Everyone in my group was very satisfied and will definitely try again when in the area! We already recommended you to people we met in Santa Ynez and to our local friends who may travel through your valley! Thanks again….
Great little gem in Santa Ynez! Eleanor was awesome! Definitely a go-to place when visiting the SY Valley– my husband and I will be back next time we’re in town:)
“Joachim is the Michelangelo of massage therapy! Not only is his body work masterful, but he’s personally generous, savvy and chic! His craft becomes his art when he melds the two worlds of massage and healing.”
I believe Joachim at Terra Massage has helped me avoid the need for surgery on my neck and spine (Drs say I have spinal stenosis). Last summer, he worked overtime (literally) until every last knot was released in my back. Three days later, he phoned me to see how I was doing and I literally had forgotten about the pain I was feeling prior to his massage.
In between full body massage appointments, I love to partake of his chair massages. He comes to our business and works on our customers during our 3-day quilting retreats.
The ladies LOVE his work and his great sense of humor!
Joachim is terrific. You can’t find better care anywhere.
Joachim went over and above giving me two massages after long days of cycling. The healing and recovery value of a quality massage is underestimated. There is no question that Joachim is a quality masseur and knows what he is doing

Joachim is present, knowledgeable and gifted.
His work restored me to my center of being, as well as relaxed tight ligaments and muscles.
im so happy i took my friend’s advice about joachim my neck and upper shoulder was not doing too good and after my first session, I feel so much better.. Im not at 100% yet, but i look forward to continuing my sessions with joachim to get there, slowly but surly.
I was going to the Santa Ynez area for a weekend get-away and wanted to book a massage in the area. After suffering a severe injury to a vertebrae 2 years ago I was looking forward two my first massage since the injury. I was hoping for an average but welcome massage, but what I got was much more than that and the quality of the work I received from Joachim has relieved longterm muscle tensions that were a result of the injury. Joachim is talented, has obviously received extensive training, and seems to really love his work. I won’t hesitate to drive up from Los Angeles to see him again when the need arises.
I was in excellent care with Joachim. His knowledge of the body and his passion for the athlete sets him apart. He is incredibly attentive and intuitive; for that reason I’ll start referring everyone I know!
I have to say I was a bit nervous having a massage by a man since they have a lot of upper body strength and I have a low threshold for pain. I was hoping I would be able to help Joachim understand how sensitive I am. He encouraged communication and was very understanding. I was so happy to have a relaxing massage that left me feeling flexible and limber that day and even the next! No soreness! It was great! I will definitely go back to Terra Massage~
Amazing Massage ! I leave here feeling like a new person.

“Long before I competed as a professional triathlete I was fortunate to have discovered massage and quickly found it to be the single best addition to my recovery routine. Now that I make my living by competing and abusing my body(!) its importance has become even greater. The human body must be healthy before it can be fit and massage (and good nutrition) allows me to achieve this. Joachim is an outstanding therapist who understands all this and more, as well as possessing a vast understanding of the individual. He has helped me get over a few niggling injuries and has reconfirmed my beliefs in the benefits of massage. I look forward to my weekly massages more than any other part of my training routine! Thanks Joachim!”

“Joachim’s knowledge is amazing. He works with such detail into whatever area in the body that I am focused on at the time. His use of essential oils is great too. I have had great results with that. And, because he know so many body work modalities, he can work on whatever issue I’m having and whatever way my body needs including Canial/Sacral work.”

When I first came here, I was stiff and had pain every where, that was about 6 months ago. Now, I feel about as good as I did when I was 30; by the way, I’m 72 and feel great!!
