I have never left a review before but we were quite disappointed in the way our appointment was handled.My husband booked me an appointment for my birthday and because she was in such high demand it had to be about a month after my birthday. I’m writing this review 2 hours BEFORE my appointment, today on Feb 12 because she canceled it on us at 10PM on Feb 11 (the night before the appointment) because my husband didn’t see an email to “confirm” the appointment that was sent on Feb 10. She said several attempts were made to get us to confirm. But there was only ever one email. She also said that she tried reaching out by phone and was texting a different number even though she had his number all along and they had a conversation over text before he even booked the appointment a month ago - meaning she had his number. And when we contacted her this morning she told us she gave the appointment away. And made no attempt to fix the misunderstanding and get us in as soon as possible.Never have we booked an appointment for something (Dr appointment, hair appointment, dinner, anything) and they give away an appointment or spot on us. We reserved that spot and if we don’t show up THEN you charge us for the full amount. We had every intention of showing up to our appointment. It should have never been given away. It should have been held and reserved for us. Hence, why you call it a “reservation.”Real bummed because she had such great reviews. We never expected to have this kind of customer service.
Kamaka at Makalani Massage has been working the issues out of my tissues for over a year now. I live with Fibromyalgia and see her twice a month for deep tissue and trigger point massage. The difference shes made in my life is amazing.I first came to her right about the time I started a new job - a job that is physically and mentally demanding. Id also just been in a car accident and had some nerve impingement in my thoracic area. Shes worked her magic diligently and intuitively and my body has responded. I live a fairly pain-free life today, and any one who has or know someone who has Fibromyalgia knows that is a tremendous feat. I highly recommend Makalani Massage.
If you are interested in an intelligent therapist who can truly help you maintain body integrity and deal with mind, muscles, tendon and skeletal interactions to create a more healthful and strong core than I strongly suggest you get an appointment with Makalani - you will be blessed!

2022-02-09If you want the best post-surgical lymphatics drainage massage you need to make an appointment with Kamaka at Makalani Lymphedema & Massage Therapy in Savannah, GA. It was really hard to find a licensed therapist that specializes in post-Ops cosmetic surgery for people that still have their drainage and need a lymphatic massage.I have been in her care for the last four months since my post-op surgery. The office and her personality felt welcomed and inviting. I felt completely relaxed with her amazing service. Love the cozy and calmness of her office.Kamaka is very thorough, professional and covers all bases. Her hands are Heaven sent. She is great and very informative about your massage and breakdown of all the steps of your procedures. Like me, I was new to post-op cosmetic surgery and my garment (Faja) but, Kamaka explains how these garments work and when I need to buy the next size. I have seen great results after getting a series of post Op lymphatic massages.I’m loving my results, reduction in swelling and enhanced contouring of my waist. The massage most definitely helps with my swelling. I am truly grateful for the messages I have received thus far.I definitely recommend Kamaka to anyone who is looking for a professional licensed therapist for lymphatic massage or just a massage to come see her, you will be very satisfied. Five out of five stars.N.S.

2021-11-29I have been going to Makalani for a year now for my post op manual lymphatic massages and I absolutely love and adore her! After my first session with her in december 2020 I immediately seen and felt a difference in my body and have been going to her consistently ever since. She has such a kind and gentle spirit and is so knowledgeable about her craft! You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and loves what she does. I will forever go to Makalani for all my massages!

2019-05-22I was experiencing edema in my left foot. My foot was so swollen that I couldnt wear regular shoes. Kamaka suggested that I make an appointment immediately which I did. The gentle MLD was so wonderful. By time Kamaka had finished, both of my feet went down and I was able to wear normal shoes again. I am so grateful that MLD is available for those who have to deal with both surgical and non surgical edema. I highly recommend Makalani Lymphedema and Massage. I not only appreciate that Kamaka massages gently, she also educates as she massages.

2019-05-25Kamaka has magic hands, simply put.I have been booking with Kamaka for a little over 10 years now, and have followed her as her business has moved and grown. She is professional and knowledgeable, and her passion for massage therapy shows.Her massages are extremely thorough, yet relaxing and tranquil, and her detailed intuition tells her exactly where your problem areas are. I highly recommend her. I know I won’t book with anyone else, I’ve already found the best in Savannah ♥️

2020-01-01I first became aware of Makalani after winning a massage certificate at a Benefit years ago. Not only did I win a massage but also a friend for life. Kamaka is an exceptional massage therapist. She knows when to be gentle & when your body needs stronger hands. Give her an opportunity and she will help alleviate all your aches & pains, as well as, helping you relax.

2020-01-01I have been a long time client of Makalani Massage Therapy. Kamaka gives an incredible massage. I dont have to tell her where Im sore or where I need to focus because she can always tell with her magic hands. I leave her office feeling sublimely renewed both body and spirit. Kamakas office is a beautiful space in a convenient location with plenty of free parking which is hard to come by downtown.

2019-05-23Kamaka is hands down the best massage therapist in Savannah. I have degenerative disc disease and have had 5 back surgeries due to this. Kamaka has been the only person in Savannah to give me any kind of relief when my muscles get out of whack. She is kind, respectful, professional and an expert in her field. I never have any trouble getting an appointment and the issues I walk in with are completely gone by the time I leave. I will not use or refer anyone else. There is no one else around that can provide the level of service and attention to detail on your issue than Kamaka. Once you start using her, you will become a client for life!

2020-01-01Kamaka is an extremely talented massage therapist. My experiences are in deep tissue work where she pays attention to the smallest pains and offers long term solutions to address recurring issues. I recommend her highly!

2017-12-11As an executive in a stressful job environment, massage is a need not a want for me. My review comes after 5 years of continued excellent service from Kamaka at Makalani Massage. She has a vast knowledge of the Muscular Anatomy and Physiololgy. After my appointment, I always leave very refreshed and ready to tackle the world. I honestly can say that when I travel and book massage visits, it makes me appreciate what a jewel Kamaka is- she sets the bar high when I compare to others. Marlene Buhler
