Testimonials

"My name is Mindy Stearns, I live in Newport Coast California, I am a television personality turned mother, and with a newborn, massage is ESSENTIAL!! Chris Aquino's hands are like heaven! My husband and I have been getting massages from Chris for almost 3 years. Chris is always professional and has the most comfortable, heated massage table anywhere!! I have had a lot of massages in my life and Chris gives the best. There are few masseuses that have that spine tingling touch. Chris is one of them. He can be gentle or firm and always knows how to find and eliminate the knots! He listens to my needs. Whether it's deep tissue or relaxation…I can't get enough! When I was pregnant, Chris not only had them most comfy table, he adapted the massage to help ease my pains and really helped to calm and relax me during pregnancy. Now that I have a baby, I have a whole new set of aches that Chris has worked on. My body would shut down if it weren't for Chris!"

Mindy S., TV personality and Mom



"As a Mom and always on the go I’ve used Chris’ home massages on several occasions. His casual yet very professional attitude and work ethic is very comforting to me as woman and client. His willingness to come to my home around my crazy schedule is a truly special treat for me. I’ve called upon him not only for a relaxing experience but also for aches and pains that he’s guided me through with his massage and suggestions. I would truly recommend Chris to anyone needing to soothe a muscle or just in need of a very relaxing massage session."

Jenny S., Homemaker



"Hi Chris. I just wanted to write you to let you know how much I appreciate your services. Unfortunately, you’ve completely spoiled me! Now that I’ve had so many massages from you, I hate to go anywhere else. You are so good at catering to my specific needs, and I really love that you are so knowledgeable about physiology. It is great to get a massage from someone who actually knows what he’s doing, and is flexible enough to diverge from the typical "full body" formula and give more attention to my problem areas. When you are finished with my neck and shoulders, it really feels like all the tension has been worked out… which is like magic to me, since that’s where I carry all my stress. Anyway, thanks again. I look forward to my next massage!"

Sholly G., Graduate Student



"The at-home massage is great. Being able to be in the comfort of my own home helps me relax more than if I were to go to outside and have to drive somewhere. I usually tried to schedule my appointments just before I went to bed. It helped me relax and get a good night's rest. I sit at a computer every day so my shoulders/neck are always tight. The massage is great also because it helps the circulation in your body. I feel rejuvenated after. The massage has helped eliminate the headaches I was experiencing due to the stiffness in my shoulders/neck."

Kimberly K., Sales Analyst



"Chris has an amazing energy about him. After a massage from him, I feel renewed, energized, revived and relaxed all at the same time. I really enjoy the convenience of having a massage at home where I feel the most comfortable and can quickly shower afterwards and go about my day. Chris is always punctual, professional and constantly customizes his treatments according to my current ailments. I have referred many of my clients to Chris from professional athletes, pre-natal and post-natal women, to people seeking therapy for Fibromyalgia. I have never heard anything but rave reviews about Chris' technique and approach to massage."

Deena M., Owner/Instructor of Core Pilates Inc.



"I've been working with Chris for about two years now. What started as a "free half hour massage" gift certificate turned into a once a week massage I always look forward to. During the past two years I've had a couple of exercise injuries. Through Chris's deep tissue sports massage I recovered completely each time without having to spend countless hours at the doctor's office or physical therapy. One of the very best parts about working with Chris is that I get to have a massage in the comfort of my own home. It is so convenient! I have gotten massages from spas all over the world and I truly think Chris is one of the very best out there."

Jaime P., Expectant Mother



"What separates Chris from the other massage therapists I’ve worked with is his ability to cater both his therapeutic approach and schedule to fit my personal needs. In-home massage is more time efficient and set to fit your schedule while keeping you in the comforts of your own home so you are ready to continue relaxing after your massage. Chris has the ability to understand your specific body and its specific needs to improve your body’s ongoing performance by curing and preventing the issues from coming back. Give him a few sessions to get to know your body and you will see results."

Andy P. II, President and CEO of Niagara Bottling, LLC



"My massage experience was awesome with Chris! He came to my house and brought his whole set up, including a radio to play soothing music! The massage was extremely relaxing and the pressure was just right. I felt fully rejuvenated afterwards and I loved the convenience and relaxation factor of having him come to my house."

Alex B., Loan Closer Rep



"I have been a client of Chris' for over two years. In that time he has consistently been the best massage therapist by whom I have ever been treated. He has successfully cured everything from a pinched nerve, to relieving tight muscles brought on by stress, and is so effective for overall sports massage therapy. I am so thankful to be his client!"

Laila K., Publicist



"I strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle and massage is an integral part of my wellness program. It balances me and improves my running, sleeping, and flexibility. After I beat my body up all week Chris at New Body makes me feel like I have a new body!"

Jessica F., Consulting



"I have been using Chris as my massage therapist for over a year now and I have never had a comparable massage - anywhere. He is always willing to work around my schedule and you can't beat an in-home massage in the comfort of your own house. I would recommend Chris over any other massage therapist or Spa!"

Erin L., CEO of A. Gary Anderson Family Foundation




"I am an active person that enjoys participating in sports 6 days a week. After pushing myself in sports all week and the stress that our professional jobs brings to us on a daily basis it is nice to reward ourselves with a massage at the end of a busy week. I have known Chris for over three years and I use his service within my home as well as referred friends to Chris. He is prompt, professional and excellent in achieving what I am looking for in a massage therapist. I would highly recommend him to any man or woman that is looking for a massage therapist that exceeds my expectations."

Renee B., Real Estate Broker




"There truly is no one like you! You are awesome and none can compare to your massages and I have certainly have had a lot of them. You are meant to do what you do and I am grateful for what you have done for my aches and pains, and the stress I have had to endure over the years. There is only one therapist for me, and that’s you! See you soon."

Gaylene J., Loan Processor



"I would like to comment on how Chris has helped prevent muscle soreness and injury before/after competing in events such as Marathons/Triathlons. I feel so grateful that he is able to help me so I can keep competing in such strenuous events. The service he provides is exceptional and very professional. I have recommended him to friends and family."

"I absolutely loved having Chris come to my home and do the massage. The massage felt amazing and completely relaxed me, it was wonderful not having to drive anywhere."

Flora C., Sr. SBA Construction Administrator



"Chris is an excellent massage therapist…one of the better ones out there. I use him for in-home treatments which I truly appreciate considering he drives over an hour to get to my home. He’s always very thorough, methodical, and as strong or light as I need him to be, depending on the day! Definitely a skilled and caring guy who is interested in doing the best job he can."

Jill H., Homemaker



"Being a fulltime working mother of two small children, my body aches all the time. After having my massage, I feel like a new person -- completely rejuvenated. Chris has a great calm demeanor which always helps me to get into that "Zen" mode. I am a total day spa person but after experiencing New Body, I only go to Chris for my massages."

Susan B., Senior Account Executive



"There is no one with hands like Chris' ... They truly melt away stress! I get a massage from Chris 3-4 times a month and would do more if I could! I have tried several massage therapists up and down the West Coast and Chris is definitely my favorite! Thanks Chris for all your work!"

Gina J., Photographer



"I have been a devoted and satisfied client of Chris Aquino of almost 5 years now. His expertise, knowledge and professionalism is extremely valuable and refreshing to me specially with the many spas and therapists around. He has helped me immensely with releasing stress and relieving pain with his deep massage therapy. I am a firm believer in investing in yourself and your health and I am blessed to have Chris as my massage therapist and friend to help me!"

Sandra S., Sr. Loan Officer



"After having a massage from Chris, I can’t imagine seeing anyone else. His in-home service is exceptional and I am so thankful that I don’t have to drive to and from my appointment. It is just so convenient, the last thing I want to do after a massage is get in my car and deal with traffic and have my stress and tension return. Being at home gives me the opportunity to just chill or take a nap after a long work day. Did I mention his massages are awesome! Thanks Chris for all you have done for me, you’re the best!"

Carrie S., Appraiser



"Chris is awesome. I have had a lot of massages and he is by far the most professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. He is so gifted. Chris has helped me to relax on those really tough days and has even helped me the day before my wedding. I love that he comes to my home. Once you have had a massage from Chris, you won’t want one from any one else."

Shannon H., Devoted Client



"Chris has been coming to my home and gives me massages on weekly basis for the past two years now. He has been wonderful with keeping our appointments and re-scheduling if necessary. Chris is professional and has a great pair of hands. My body definitely benefits from this weekly routine. I recommend Chris to anyone that needs relaxation, recharging or rejuvenating their body!"

Danni S., Owner/broker Danni’s Realty Inc.



"You can't ask for anything more from a therapist. He's patient, kind, and most importantly he knows what he's doing. From Day 1, he's had my trust and confidence! Not only was he able to release the tension in my muscles but he gave great advice as to how to remain stress-free. The best is feeling relaxed and already being home."

Abby C., Loan Funder



"I met Chris Aquino through a good friend of mine over two years ago. He is full of good energy and always has a pleasant presence. He is a talented massage therapist and his experience gets results that are positive and comforting. I also love that fact that he travels. I have recommended him to our clients and will continue to do so in the future."

Karen L., Owner/Instructor of Balboa Island Pilates



"Living in a fast pace society, there is nothing like experiencing an hour of tranquility with New Body Massage. With very short notice, New Body Massage was attentive, on time and available at your convenience. Thank you for making this experience a pleasurable one! I definitely know where I am going, the next time a well needed massage comes up."

Kimberly C., Account Executive



"Before getting married and having my children I traveled extensively and visited the finest spas in the world. Nowhere on the earth have I received a better massage than in my own home by the magical hands of Chris Aquino. For three years I have been spoiled by his visits even lavish my dear friends with gift certificates for his deep tissue massages. He’s the best kept secret in Orange County! Enjoy!"

Samantha A., Domestic Engineer



"There are no words to describe the quality of life that I am able to experience because of New Body and Chris Aquino. It has been over 4 years since my first massage with Chris. From that day, I new that Chris could deliver the relief I needed from the stress of work to make it thru the week. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I had a serious accident totaling my Lexus SUV. Thank god for air bags and seat belts as without them I wouldn’t be writing this. As a result of them, I broke my left collarbone in 2 places, received 1st degree burns to my chest, jammed my right wrist and left thumb and had serious head trauma. Chris had to work around my broken collarbone for 9 months and new just how to handle my rehabilitation…it was slow and painful but he never gave up. Along with the physical repercussions, I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and my immune was sent into a tailspin. Per Doctor’s orders…I had to change my life and remove as much stress as possible, but Chris is still my best medicine. I have found a deeper connection with myself thru all of this and know that I could not maintain it without my weekly massage. It isn’t just physical health, but mental and emotional health I trust Chris with. Thank you for being so wonderful…it is sincerely appreciated."

Betty B., Career Development Director



"Chris stands apart from any massage therapist I have ever met. I am impressed with his ability to use not only a marvelously fluid style of massage, but also to zero in with pinpoint accuracy on painful areas that need attention. His style is an integrated, relaxing, healing experience that I look forward to each time."

Karen K., Executive Assistant



"I was referred to Chris Aquino by a friend and decided to try my first at-home massage. I was a little unsure if the experience at home would be as good as it is in a spa, but after having such a wonderful massage, I didn't even miss the steam room or Jacuzzi! Chris is very professional. I love the added touch of bringing his own music to create a nice spa-like atmosphere. When I first saw Chris, I was a little worried that I was in for too strong of a massage, as Chris is obviously someone who works out...a lot! I thought, "uh oh, I'm in for a painful time now", but he has a great sense of pressure, as his pressure was just right....not too hard, and not too soft for me. He's also great at "seeing" with his hands. He's able to hone in on the knots and work those out, and his stretches were awesome too. I will be definitely be utilizing his service again, and would recommend him to anyone in need of a massage that ends up making them feel relaxed and also refreshed!"
