Marcela Rafael

Marcela welcomed me with a big smile and a warm hug as we both remembered how wonderful our first session was last year. Marcela connects easily and deeply and her massage skills are phenomenal! Everything about our time together today was amazing.

Marcela is legitimately an angel sent from Brazil. Beautiful smile, effective hands, and a personality that made me regret not booking a longer sesh! I highly recommend.

Super deep and effective massage. Knows what she is doing and is calming and cool

Excellent massage especially if you have any sports related injuries as I do. Marcela is a true professional and exceptional masseuse. The atmosphere of the studio is beautiful,serene and clean.

Marcela is amazing. The massage is very therapeutic and relaxing. She really worked the knots out in my back and I felt fabulous for days after. She is very beautiful inside and out. I elected for a 90 minute and could have easily stated for 2 hours. Marcela is an angel.

Simply amazing! My only regret is that I didn't schedule a longer session.

I had a delightful time with Marcela on unexpectedly short notice. She was commanding without being pushy, receptive without being squishy, and loving without being cloying. She is a serious diamond in the rough at the ToB. One I hope remains for some time so I can see how her lovely powers evolve. Thanks for your incredible presence.

Marcela is indeed highly skilled. My only regret is not booking a longer session! What the other reviewers have said is all true — thank you Marcela for a wonderful session that left me refreshed and with great vibes!

I saw Marcela last week, and she was everything previous reviews had promised, and even much more! Years of yoga and massage training have sculpted an incredible physique and wonderful somatic wisdom. Like another reviewer, I have received many massages over decades, yet Marcela introduced me to novel stretches and pressure techniques that were excellent. She even helped instruct difficult yoga postures. Overall, it was an exceptional experience: Marcela is a great listener with caring chemistry, a giving practitioner with laundry list of massage skills and intuitive touch, and simply a wonderful addition to the Temple. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had the most incredible experience with Marcela. Her guidance and expertise transformed our relationship into something truly magical. The connection and intimacy my partner and I experienced during our sessions were beyond words. Marcela's soothing presence and deep knowledge of tantra created an environment of trust and exploration. We felt more connected and in tune with each other. This experience has brought new levels of love and passion into our relationship. Highly recommended for any couple seeking to deepen their connection and love.

Marcela is stunningly beautiful and carries herself with an authenticity and confidence that is very rare. Although she is relatively new to the Temple, she is the most talented Dakini I’ve met to date. Her unique style combines her training in various massage therapy modalities and the body control of an expert yoga instructor that is equally as impressive as it is relieving and satisfying. Beyond that, her knowledge and skill with the tantric elements took me to full body heights that I have never experienced before.

Even more impacting than the physical aspects, which were special, she made space to see me and connect with me in a sincere and meaningful way. I can’t wait to see her again.

Beautiful, attentive and very knowledgeable. Spending time with Marcela became my favorite way to start my afternoon.

Beautiful, intuitive, giving, exotic and much, much more. Marcella is truly gifted as a therapist and brings the deepest levels of compassion and connection every moment of the session. Can’t wait to see her again

What a wonderful escape with Marcela! Her combination of physical strength coupled with her tender energy makes for an amazing session. Massage was fantastic, definitely got the kinks out. She is also a flawless beauty and so connective and present in the moment. Thank you Marcela, I so look forward to seeing you again!

Extremely skilled Massage Therapist! Today marks three weeks of my surgery, and I had many special needs and restrictions. Marcela worked on me for over 2 hours while I was only able to be face up due to my body’s healing restrictions. She completely worked every ache, scar tissue, tightness and soreness with skill and precision. This woman is physically STRONG and can move you from medium to deep in the most graceful ways. A+ Very high accolades coming from Queen Love herself.

It was my first time seeing Marcela and she made me feel at home. I left feeling rejuvenated body and soul. Thank you for a great session!

Very nice addition to the Novato Temple. Met Marcela for first time, and noticed from the start that she was different in techniques and style. I enjoyed the therapeutic and tantric aspects, and even ended up spending the maximum time allowed. Recommend Marcela highly for a new experience!

It might be cliche but I have always imagined Brazilian women as somehow cultured to be sensual, playful, intriguing, intelligent.Add to that a great smile, a noticeably sweet laugh, and a fabulous sense of humor and enter Marcela... assumptions confirmed. Also expect an incredible massage session with some moves that I just simply have never (to my delight) experienced. Yes, yes, yes, don't doubt it: She's that one you want to see at Temple.
