Joayo Therapy

I've been having my massages here in Joayo since March 2025 or April.. and I switched RMT's to find the best one for me. I've tried 5 of them, 3 of them were good as well but not until I tried Karen. Jiyoon (Karen) Kim is the only one who made the tightness of my shoulder and neck disappeared. 😅 Some of the RMT's tried but I think they just gave up and I love how Karen was so focus and really put her magic hands to work on my shoulders and neck.. I was totally amazed! I highly recommend Karen, she's so passionate and dedicated to her job.. the best! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love Joayo Therapy & have been recommending them to everyone I know! A detailed review: Pilates - I've done pilates with Mimi, Evelyn, Nami and they're all very well trained and understanding of the mind muscle control. They do hands on adjustments and my pelvic is my problem area, and as someone who rarely stretches, pilates have been so helpful for my long work hours. Each instructor have their own techniques, so it's nice to switch it up! RMT - I only trust Emma with my massages now. She is very professional and her energy, vibes & professionalism is what makes me come back! Unlike other RMTs I've been to, wherein they only rub your back up & down, Emma continues to assess my body carefully every time and without fail, always knows which parts to target. I do not always realize where it is I am sore/pain - but Emma uses her professionalism to pinpoint every muscle. She's seriously the greatest and I wish I could gatekeep her, but she is someone I would highly recommend if you want a RMT to understand your body. Acupuncture - Celine is my acupuncturist and I go to her for both body acupuncture & facial acupuncture. She uses her skills & knowledge to target both areas without fail. As mentioned previously, her background in acupuncture & skincare is unmatched - she knows how to combine her skills and knowledge to help target problem areas. For example, I had a surge of acne on my face and immediately, she knew it had something to do with my gut health. Acupuncture was done on my stomach and within 2 days, my skin cleared up. While assessing my body, she also noticed bilateral tightness on my upper back and quickly did a cupping session too, which helped eased my soreness (that I wasn't even aware of!) All in all, Joayo Therapy is my go-to place if I never need any treatments. I can't recommend this place more! Staff are kind and welcoming too!

Jiyoon (Karen) Kim is hands down one of the best RMTs I’ve ever experienced in Vancouver. She is incredibly skilled, attentive, and professional. Her techniques, pressure, and communication are all outstanding, and each session feels personalized and deeply effective. Thanks to her treatments, my chronic back pain and stiffness have improved significantly. I genuinely look forward to every appointment. I highly recommend visiting her at Joayo Clinic—once you experience her care, you’ll understand how special it is.

I’ve been seeing Colin Eng weekly for massage for the past several months, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. I originally started going because of ongoing lower back and neck/shoulder pain, and he’s been incredibly helpful in actually addressing the problem instead of just giving temporary relief. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and really pays attention to what’s going on in your body. Every session feels intentional and tailored, not routine. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely kind and respectful person, with a calming presence , which makes a big difference when you’re trusting someone with your care. If you’re dealing with tension or chronic pain, I highly recommend booking with him. I’m very glad I did.

I’ve had many massages over the years, but this was truly the best massage I’ve ever had. Karen started the session by guiding me to gently participate so she could work more deeply on my tight shoulders. It was a completely new approach for me, but I was amazed at how quickly I could feel the tension releasing deep within the muscles. What made the experience even more special was how much Karen genuinely enjoys her work—it really shows. I felt relaxed and happy throughout the entire session. At one point, I even found myself thinking about my loved ones and wanting to bring them here to experience this as well. I hesitate to say this because I know it might make her bookings even harder to get… but I truly can’t recommend Karen enough.
