The School of Healing touch, located on Castro Valley Boulevard, right next to the Castro Valley Theatre, offers massage and spa training classes, as well as the services themselves to the public. If you opt to have the service performed by a student intern, the price drops drastically. My boyfriend and I went for hour long massages by student interns for only $35! And I can honestly say that the massages we received there, by students, were better than massages we had previously received by professional masseuses. The only down side is that the place is set up to be a training facility, so the massages were given in classrooms (no other people/students were there). And unfortunately, due to space, we both had to be in separate rooms during our massages. But, they played soothing music, and were very professional, and asked for feedback and constructive criticism afterwards. They were there to learn as much as to help you relax. But, I don't think there was a thing I could complain about. If you like, you can also have the services done by the staff, for a higher cost. But with as well as the student's did, I don't see why you'd need to.
