I had an absolutely life changing experience. Wendy is one of the most gifted healers I've had the pleasure of working with. I came in, expecting a standard "I'm on vacation, why not" massage, and I came away having had what was easily the best massage of my life (I've had a lot!) plus some much needed energy work.
Wendy could tell that I was experiencing a tough time, emotionally, and she got right into it, helping me release so much of the pain that I was stuck in. The experience was so much more than I bargained for, and exactly what I needed. She is a truly gifted intuitive and is an absolute joy to work with.
She also gives a phenomenal deep tissue massage - she asks how deep you'd like, on a scale of 1-10, and she makes other places' 10's feel like 5's. I felt like she worked through years of hardened stress and pain in mere minutes.
As a bonus, the view can't be beat. There is nothing more peaceful and healing than walking out of a life changing session and right into an expansive, blissful view of Lake Tahoe.
I'm already planning on tagging along on friends' day trips to Tahoe just so I can see her. A session with Wendy is 110% worth a day full of driving.
So, so, so much gratitude to Wendy and her studio oasis.

I came here for the first time after a two year COVID-induced hiatus from facials and I am so glad I did. Wendy was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in her approach to my facial. She even provided very helpful recommendations for my skincare moving forward. We also did some energy work and I can honestly say she is gifted as both an esthetician and an energy healer. Go here!

Really nice and relaxing space, went in for a facial because of some skin issues I've been having for months. Afterwards I felt like my skin could finally breathe it's glowing and looking better than it has in years. Definitely recommend sage if you want someone who is thorough and knowledgeable about skin care.

That was one of the best massages I got in my life! Wendy focused on my back & found my knots and pain spots on my shoulder and neck. She is very knowledgeable & gave me many tips throughout my massage.
Quality service. Quality experience. Serene ambiance. 100% recommend. You will get what you pay for here and it's worth it.
I wish I could have this place where I come from.

Wonderful, personalized service. So glad I found this spot in TC! Will definitely be returning.

I booked a facial, massage and energy healing session with Wendy and she exceeded my expectations! I booked a 30 min massage so we focused on my back and she really worked out some kinks. The facial was amazing, I ended up adding on a glycolic peel and my skin is super smooth now. The real winner for me was the energy healing session. It was almost like a therapy session, I felt much more grounded after and left with a better perspective on my areas of focus. Thank you Wendy!

i don't need to give a ton of details on this one, other than just saying to my fellow yelp users -- "go here." it's wonderful, beautiful, and a portal to greatness. thank you, sage. i will be back soon.

Thank goodness I scheduled this massage! I've been in a lot discomfort with muscle soreness & back spasms. My back feels a thousand times better after my session. I booked a 2 hour and would do it again in heartbeat! Massage should be considered essential just like chiropractic care. Thank you for your work!

Wendy gives an amazing massage and is an absolute gem of a person. Lovely, very knowledgeable and skillful. The spa is lovely, charming and very clean. She goes above and beyond for taking all the precautions for preventing the spread of Covid. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Wendy, for a fantastic massage and facial. She has a very clean studio along with clean practices which I truly appreciated. After spending close to 3 hours there I left feeling refreshed and recharged. So grateful for the time spent and worth every penny.

I recently spent 3 hours at this adorable spa with Wendy and had the most relaxing experience! The massage was the best I have ever had and my facial was the perfect ending to a wonderful afternoon. I also felt very safe as she took my temp, we wore masks and sanitized frequently. I would recommend this spa to anyone and will definitely go back if I visit Tahoe again!

I booked Wendy based off rave reviews from my boyfriend who randomly found her business during ski season. My job includes both physical, standing work as well as desk work so my body is pretty wrecked to be honest. I booked the 2 hour massage after being happily surprised that she was open during the June 27th weekend. And it was worth every single penny. With the current pandemic, she has hand sanitizer near the door and you and her wear a mask during the session. Wendy really takes the time to get to know your issues and pays close attention to your pain points. I booked the deep tissue massage and she did not let up on the pressure despite the long period of my appointment. She incorporates different techniques including stretches and silicon cups which I loved. Overall, it was probably the best massage I've ever had, especially at that price point. Would highly recommend booking an appointment with Wendy if you're in the area!

Stopped by this cute little shop on a Saturday while some friends were snowboarding. Decided to have a little treat myself day. Wendy was very informative and kind. We started off with a relaxation massage and it was just that. She was great with adjusting her pressure when I asked and knew all the right areas to hit (I'm a newbie with massages). Then we moved onto the facial. It wasn't the best facial
I've had, but it was definitely cleansing (just wish there was a little bit more massaging involved). She also wrote some advice for my skin type on a note card that I got to keep--will be utilizing everything she suggested. Overall it was a good and relaxing experience!

the best facial I've ever gotten! I walked out feeling refreshed and my skin was glowing. I visited Tahoe City for a long weekend and while the rest of my group skied and snowboarded, I planned a self-care day at Sage and it was the best decision ever.

booking an appointment was super easy. I even wanted to do a last minute swap of services and was able to easily text Wendy on the day of and she was able to accommodate. the 60min Lake Water Facial was life changing. I walked away with the best my skin has ever looked and with actionable feedback on how to maintain the results. can't recommend Sage and Wendy enough!

I've never had a facial before, and I'm glad my first experience was here with Wendy! She was so kind and addressed my individual skin problems. Plus she gave me some great product recommendations that I could afford!
