Knowledge, deep understanding of anatomy and big time focus~ that is my experience every time I get body work happening at her lovely studio. Absolutely professional and dedicated to helping heal and unlock my overused body of 60 plus years. Shes fantadtic! Highly recommended

Ila is special. She truly holds a space of compassion, presents, and non-judgment. A true healer. I want to write more, but words can’t describe what this incredible human offers us.

Tao Energy Movement is totally 5 stars. Ila is impeccable in her craft and her attention to detail is superior as a massage therapist/energy worker. I felt so safe and cared for in her capable hands, and left her office with a new and delightful sense of my own body/energy system. You have to check her out!

Ila has studied healing arts from many masters around the world. As a result, Ila is knowledgeable in many healing approaches. I found her to be very attentive and devoted to providing the therapy I need for whatever ailment I have. Shes smart, creative, and sincerely and respectfully addresses the needs of her clients. Thanks, Ila.

TL;DR: A very skilled bodywork professional who listens to what youre saying, but more importantly listens to what your body is saying. I always leave feeling lighter, straighter, and far less tense. I have never had a masseuse quite like Ila.Ila is fantastic. She has spent time and energy immersed in the knowledge and wisdom of different bodywork practices. I cant speak to all that shes learned, but she uses very different methods based on the problem area in combination with the solution. She can easily stretch, cup, knead, circulate, sound, heat, and really push my body all in one session. She addresses body issues in a much more whole body, whole mind manner.She knows what shes doing so can come off a bit direct, but I think that kind of directness is what we Seattlites need every once and a while :) I love our communication, it feels open and honest, and sometimes she enters spiritual territory that I am unfamiliar with, but she gives me the space to digest and absorb anything within--and slightly beyond--my comfort zone. Essentially, shes not a missionary about it.I was born with a shoulder injury (a palsy) that will always be with me. She listened to my concerns about the injury, and she has pushed that shoulder to do things just beyond its comfort zone. But she has also been a miracle worker with the opposite shoulder. All of the muscles and tendons that dont work on one side have to do twice the work on the other side. She has leveraged strong hands, correct pressure (while always checking in with me), stretching, movement, cupping, digging to help with the tension and pain that has built up over the years.I hope to be seeing Ila for a very long time.

Ive been a client of Ilas for many years, and have been so impressed with her devotion, caring, and skill when working with me in both private and group sessions. She has a truly warm, genuine, and intuitive nature that allows her to give each client personalized treatment within the scope of her broad range of expertise. I would highly recommend Ila to anyone seeking healing, growth, and renewal!

I had my first thai-fusion massage this past weekend with Ila and it was AWESOME!!! Id never had this type of massage before and it was described to me by someone else as yoga for lazy people ha ha! Well, it sorta was, as she moved my limbs and put my body in the positions needed to work certain joints/muscles. Afterwords I felt all loose and like my stiffness had left my body completely.She works out of her apt but the room was clean and professional. Very relaxing atmosphere where I felt safe and secure to have bodywork done on me and Ila is a very caring and extremely professional LMT who explained what she was doing as she did it, so I felt completely at ease with her. I will definitely go back for more! I would 100% recommend her to friends!

Ila is a phenomenal masage therapist with an excellent knowledge of anatomy. She is also an intuitive bodyworker and healer. I have been seeing her for massage over the last 8 months with great results. Highly recommend!

Ila is an amazing massage therapist and body worker - WOW what an experience getting great body work from her.

Miss Ila is an intuitive and gifted body worker.She is present and knowledgeable, I highly recommend her services.

The photo for this business is not accurate. That is the old location.Everything is terrible! She’s in a rundown apt building w no signage. She is hard to get a response. She only cares about $$$! She pretends to care about you during your initial visit...After I saw her it became all about $.I did not even get to use the full voucher value.Do NOT waste your money and time!I am not surprise she has to use Groupon to try to get more clients after how she treated me.

Ila is highly knowledgeable and professional and she has spent many years gaining experience from many different masters from around the world. I really benefited from my experience with her.

Ila is a rare and wonderful healer with an exceptional breadth and depth of knowledge. Highest recommendation!

Ila has studied the art of massage for many years. When she is with a client you have her full attention. I feel ila has spent her life in the study of all kinds of healing methods in an effort to be able to help a person impove their life .She comes from a positive place.ila has worked very hard to get where she is at and accomplished a great deal. Swim .scholar ship. Her swim times still hold at Bellingham high school . She went to Japan and taught English .by doing this she paid off here University load in one year. She found her neich in massage and health. Give ila a try she is worth it.
