— Why D4 Season
A quieter way to find your best massage.
The question we get most on the Shoreline phone line has nothing to do with price. It's some version of: should I get Swedish or deep tissue? That's a fair thing to ask. Most menus list half a dozen options and leave you to guess, so this page walks through how we'd answer it.
First, a bit about the place, since it affects the whole visit. D4 Season is at 15507 Westminster Way N Ste 7E, a small neighborhood studio a block off Aurora. You won't find us in a mall. The loudest thing you'll hear inside is water. We opened in 2022 as Seattle's first specialized head spa, and the massage side runs the same way, with a slow pace, low lights and one guest at a time.
Massage has become ordinary self-care in this country. National survey data summarized by the NCCIH show the share of U.S. adults using massage roughly doubled over two decades. Plain advice on choosing a style is harder to find. Below is how we'd walk you through our options, in the same order we would on the phone.
— The hour itself
What the hour feels like on Westminster Way.
Whatever style you choose, the visit goes about the same way. You arrive and we talk for a few minutes about pressure, sore spots and anything that's off-limits. Then the hour is yours. There's no pile of paperwork, and nobody pushes products on you at the end.
The first ten minutes
You undress to your own comfort level and get under the drape. Only the area being worked on is ever uncovered. We keep the first few minutes slow, with long, warming strokes that give your body time to relax and let go. Most guests notice their breathing change before anything else.
Pressure is a conversation
You should never have to grit your teeth through a massage. If deep pressure goes from helpful to too much, say so right then. Adjusting is part of the therapist's job, and you won't be interrupting anything. Afterward, drink some water, walk slowly to the car, and try to keep the next hour free. The relaxed feeling lasts longer if you don't rush straight back into traffic.
— Choosing a style
Swedish, deep tissue or CBD oil — a working guide.
Four plain descriptions, without the jargon. If none of them sounds like you, call and tell us about your week instead. That works too.
Swedish: the default for a reason
Swedish massage uses long, gliding, medium-pressure strokes over the whole body. It's the most widely taught style in Western countries, and it's where most people should start. Sixty minutes is $85, and ninety minutes is $125 if you'd like more time to slow down. Pick it when you want to feel calmer and sleep better, rather than work on one stubborn knot. The American Massage Therapy Association takes the position that massage can support physical, mental and social well-being. Our own claim is smaller and easier to back up: of everything we offer, a slow Swedish hour is the most reliable way to switch off.
Deep tissue: slower, deeper, more specific
Deep tissue swaps the gliding strokes for slow, steady pressure into the deeper muscle layers. It's $95 for 60 minutes and $135 for 90. It's a good fit for long-standing knots, years of desk work, and people who find firm pressure helpful rather than uncomfortable. You may feel a little tender the next day, which is normal. It should never hurt during the session, though, and that's why we keep checking in with you about pressure.
CBD oil and Deep Blue: the topical route
Two of our 60-minute sessions, both $95, use a different oil instead of a different technique. The CBD Oil Massage uses a topical CBD-infused oil that guests pick for how calming it feels on the skin. The Deep Blue Pain Relief Massage uses a cooling essential-oil blend that feels especially good on tired backs and legs. Neither one is a medical treatment, and we don't claim anything beyond comfort. You get the same skilled massage with a different feel on your skin.
The head spa pairing
Since head spa is our specialty, Shoreline guests can do something most massage studios don't offer: follow the massage with warm-water scalp work in the same visit. We like to do shoulders first and then the scalp. It's our own favorite order, and the closest we come to a full reset. There's a whole page on the head spa and massage pairing near Seattle North if you're curious how the two fit together.
— Around Shoreline
Areas we serve near Shoreline.
The studio pulls guests from the whole north end, starting with Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, then Greenwood, Northgate and the rest of north Seattle. Edmonds and Lynnwood are a short drive up I-5 or Highway 99. A lot of regulars first came in for a head spa and stayed for the massages.
If Lynnwood is closer for you, everything on this page applies there too, from the styles and prices to the pairing advice. It's one menu and one phone number for both addresses.
If quiet is what you're after most, try to book a weekday morning. Those are the calmest hours we have, and our most sleep-deprived guests swear by them.
— Menu, prices & booking
Pricing & booking in Shoreline.
Prices run from $50 for a 30-minute neck-and-shoulder session to $135 for 90 minutes of deep tissue. The full table is just below, and it matches our Lynnwood studio to the dollar. Gratuity isn't included in service prices.
Booking for two? The Couple Massage (Swedish for two in one room, $170) is on the same menu, and the couples massage in Shoreline page explains how the side-by-side setup works. You can also compare every option at once on the body therapy hub.
Hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday 10 AM to 8 PM. Book online through the Shoreline booking page, or call (206) 688-9700. If you still can't decide between Swedish and deep tissue when you call, that's fine. We're always happy to talk it through.

— Common questions
Asked & answered.
What's the real difference between Swedish and deep tissue at your studio?
+
Swedish uses long, gliding, medium-pressure strokes across the whole body and is meant for relaxation. Deep tissue moves slower and presses into deeper muscle layers to work on specific, long-standing tension. If you're not sure, start with Swedish. You can always ask for firmer pressure partway through.
What does the CBD oil massage involve, and will I feel anything from the CBD?
+
It's a 60-minute massage ($95) done with a topical CBD-infused oil that guests choose because it feels calming on the skin. It isn't intoxicating, and we don't make any health claims about it. Think of it as the same relaxing massage with a different oil.
Can I add a head spa to my massage in the same Shoreline visit?
+
Yes, and it's the pairing we recommend most. Massage first to loosen the shoulders, then a warm-water head spa to finish. Mention it when you book so we can schedule the two back to back with one therapist handoff.
Which massage should a first-timer pick?
+
The 60-minute Swedish ($85). It's gentle, covers the whole body and is easy to adjust. It also shows you what you like in pressure, pace and focus areas, so your second booking can be a better fit. Tell us it's your first massage and we'll explain everything before you get on the table.
Is the Deep Blue massage the same thing as deep tissue?
+
No. Deep Blue is the cooling essential-oil blend we use during the session, and it's applied with standard relaxing technique, so the name has nothing to do with pressure. Deep tissue is the name of the technique itself. You can ask for firmer pressure in a Deep Blue session, but they're separate menu items, each $95 for 60 minutes.
Do you take walk-ins at the Shoreline studio?
+
We work by appointment, and the studio is small, so same-day walk-ins rarely find an open table. Call (206) 688-9700 that day and we'll gladly fit you in if there's a gap. Booking even a day ahead is the safer bet, though.
What should I wear, and how undressed do I need to be?
+
Come in whatever's comfortable. On the table you undress only to your own comfort level, and draping keeps everything but the area being worked covered at all times. Plenty of guests keep underwear on; some prefer clothed neck-and-shoulder work. All of it is fine.
