Massage Habits Reviews 14

After recently achieving a personal milestone in my life, I treated myself to a massage. What a phenomenal and welcomed experience to be back in the hands and studio of an exceptional massage therapist who has not only outstanding massage skills, he also has a wonderful heart and mind. What an ideal combination. When asked as a new client what would be my ideal outcome from the session, I responded "calmness" and "de-knotting." Mission accomplished and exceeded on both counts. I can hardly wait for my next appointment with Dorian Dima, owner extraordinaire of Massage Habits in the Mission Valley area of San Diego!!

Dorian understands that his clients know their aches and pains well, and takes the time to listen to you. With a few questions he was able to focus in on my problem areas for the massage that day and develop a treatment plan for subsequent sessions. Dorian also recognizes that massage is not the only solution and will suggest complementary exercises to help manage issues. He is very communicative and engaging and good at putting clients at ease, making for a great experience.

Dorian is kind and knowledgeable and always delivers a lovely massage experience. He is very intuitive and empathetic to what I need depending on the day - this provides a different and enjoyable massage each appointment! I leave feeling more calm and healed every time! :) Thank you Massage Habits!

Dorian is by far the best, and I have had many massages in my time. You can tell he really has a passion for his work. He listens carefully when I discuss any aches and pains I may be having, he is very knowledgeable, he fixes the issues and I always walk out feeling amazing. If you are looking to relieve some aches or just want a great massage, I highly recommend Dorian! He is truly amazing at what he does.

Dorian is an incredible therapist, very knowledgeable, intuitive and great energy. He dedicates a few minutes before the message to discuss any specific focus areas for the session. I’ve been seeing him for 2 years and always feel great afterwards! He is always professional and checks in occasionally during the massage to make sure I am comfortable with the pressure. The table is always the perfect temperature, music is the right volume and lighting is warm and calming.
Dorian is simply the best therapist!

Dorian is the best in SD! He is a wonderful person and even better massage therapist. As someone with a sensitive back injury, I trust Dorian fully & he has been a big part of my recovery.

Massage Habits is conveniently located with parking. Dorian is amazingly skilled and knowledgeable — he’s great. Highly recommend and have recommended to multiple friends. He tailors the massage to fit my needs - depending on if there’s an injury or just general relaxation. Highly recommend!

Dorian is the Best !!! Today, Dorian once again worked out some tight knots and kinks in my leg and shoulder. I feel like a new person, in a new body !! Dorian is personable, knowledgeable, and expert with the right techniques for the right situation--whether it be relaxation, rejuvenation, or restoring functioning. His space is comfortable and relaxing. And I love his use of essential oils !! Give him a try and you won't regret !!!

Massage Habits has been my go to for massages and body work for over 2 years. Dorian is very professional, personable and most importantly effective at what he does. I visit at least once a month. Massage Habits is also very convenient since it’s in Mission Valley. It takes me less than 10 min from Downtown San Diego and 5 min from Hillcrest. There’s also plenty of parking which is a huge plus.

Love Massage Habits. Convenient location; less than 15 minutes from home downtown. Dorian is by far the most knowledgeable and caring masseuse I have ever had the pleasure to experience.

Massage Habits truly stands out! Dorian consistently delivers massages that go above and beyond my expectations. He tailors his techniques expertly to my specific needs, addressing tension areas with precision. Dorian skillfully creates a tranquil ambiance, blending soothing music, subtle aromatherapy, and a comfortable massage table for a relaxing experience. His effective communication ensures the pressure is always just right throughout the session. I highly recommend making massage habits part of your monthly routine.

I have been getting regular massages for years and Dorian is the best massage therapist I’ve found in San Diego! Before each visit he asks what is bothering me and then tailors the massage to my needs. He checks in during the massage to see if the amount of pressure is good and adjusts as needed. He is very respectful of my body and drapes the sheets very well to ensure privacy. Every time I leave his studio I feel completely relaxed and “fixed” from whatever was bothering me before my visit. I really can’t rave about this guy enough - and I usually prefer female massage therapists so this is really high praise!

Massage Habits in Mission Valley is a hidden gem. Easy to find with lots of parking. The atmosphere is very calm and the massage was so relaxing! It's like a mini-vacation in the middle of the city. Dorian is very knowledgeable, and took the time to listen and understand my aches and pains.
I left feeling refreshed and stress-free. A must-visit spot!

I’ve been going to Dorian for monthly massages now for a year and a half and truly cannot recommend him and Massage Habits enough! Dorian is so thoughtful, professional, and just incredibly talented. He has gotten rid of my long lasting neck kinks within one visit, and helped with tension headaches & muscle tightness to name a few and I’m always so impressed with the long lasting results. His office is conveniently located in Mission Valley just down the hill from North Park/University Heights area so it’s never a hassle to get to and there is plenty of parking. If you’re looking for a regular masseuse, Dorian is 100% the one!!
