    Hidden gem of a place that can help relaxation and anxiety. Who needs wine or weed to relax when you can come here and do it the healthy way. The set up of the gongs was beautiful.

    (Nichole in orange and black) from the Embodied Breathwork Facilitator workshop training where she is demonstrating some practices for us.

    I can't say enough amazing things about Behind the Lids!! I've been to so many classes and they were all amazing! The studio space that the owner, Mandy Adams designed, is gorgeous and a perfect environment for dropping in with yourself for incredible healing. Also, Mandy recently became the new owner after her dear friend Corey sold it to her as she was a perfect person to take over and honor the work Corey and Frankie have already done in the community before her. Among my favorite teachers/leaders are Nichole Ferro, Zaire Black and Stacy Pendleton, and Lisa Bebe: Because I had such a beautiful healing experience during a Wednesday night Woman's Breathwork Circle, led by Nichole Ferro, I was compelled to take her Embodied Breathwork Workshop and became a certified facilitator myself! And I honestly had so many huge and profound moments in that two weekend course that I seriously recommend that as well! Plus Nichole is such a knowledgeable, patient, and powerful teacher and we all learned so much from her. As a facilitator, she is so great at creating a safe space and cultivating a powerful healing experience while making people feel seen, heard and cared for. Thank you BTL for being a huge part of my enlightenment and healing journey!!

    What an amazing place for healing and community. I had been wanting to attend one of the sound baths here for a while and when I finally did, it was exactly what I needed. Mandy and the team at BTL are simply some of the best humans and super humans I've met. You just need to attend a class or workshop for yourself to experience all of the good energy that they and that special place have to offer.

    See all

    Wellevate Lounge - Compression therapy and brain tap in Costa Mesa

    Wellevate Lounge

    (17 reviews)

    We bought Wellevate packages at the OC Fair run a couple of months ago. The package was good for a…read moresession and we paid $35 for an hour experience. There were 6 of us so we broke into groups of 3 and scheduled back to back. Overall, I loved the experience. We started with laying in comfy recliners while wearing compression sleeves that inflate to squeeze the life out of your hips or legs. I did 15 minutes on my hips and 15 minutes on my legs and I was so comfy that I knocked out hard for at least 5 minutes. When I was done, it was off to red light therapy area for me, then 20 minutes in the infrared sauna. The red light therapy area was warm and I'm not sure how much benefit I got, but was definitely worth 7 minutes. The sauna was not extremely hot, although it was over 150 degrees. I didn't sweat my a$$ off which is what happens when I usually go into a sauna. This was ok with me as I had just had my hair done that morning and my curls stayed relatively intact. Then it was off to the cold plunge. I was coached through being able to stay in for 20 minutes and after the initial few minutes, it really wasn't that hard. I wish this place wasn't closing! We learned that they will just be open til the end of the month. Sad, as I would have totally come back!

    A Truly Exceptional Wellness Experience I was initially…read moreintroduced to the idea of a recovery lounge by my cousin, who trains intensely and uses similar services. I was a bit hesitant to try one myself, but I am so incredibly glad I found Wellevate Lounge. It has completely changed my wellness routine. The lounge offers a fantastic range of services. I've been using the compression boots for my legs and the compression for the hips, which has made a noticeable difference in my physical therapy and as I get back into working out. I also love the full panel red lights, where I can wear glasses and rest my eyes, and the private sauna space, which is perfect for stretching and reading while listening to my own music. The true highlight of my experience, however, is the owner, Nina. I was very nervous about trying the cold plunge for the first time. Nina was so kind and attentive, walking me through the process and staying by my side to work on my breathing until I reached the two-minute mark. Her commitment to her clients is amazing; she is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help you get the most out of your session. I also really appreciate the incredible cleanliness of the space. Nina sanitizes everything after each use, right down to the flooring in the red light room. This level of care and attention to detail is truly unmatched. Before coming here, I had tried compression boots at another place, but Nina's personalized guidance made this a far more effective and enjoyable experience. I never would have tried a place like this before, but thanks to Nina and the welcoming atmosphere she has created, I will be a returning customer for a long time.

Beginner or not, this is a great space to relive some stress, tap into your inner peace, and meet others that are also interested in self exploration. What a gem in Costa Mesa, providing the public with free meditation classes (donations are always welcome!). Gil and Marilyn are SO welcoming, and somehow manage to remember everyones names. The first time I came in was by myself for the Wednesday night group practice led by Gil. The next time I came in was with my cousin, who had no prior meditation experience at all, and she loved it. I randomly found this place online when I was looking to get back into meditation a few months after I completed a Vipassana course. Although Shambhala is different, the 7:00pm class opens with an introduction and instruction to approaching this style of meditation. Note that the space itself is *behind* the Coco's. If you're facing the restaurant, to left you'll find a hall that you pass through. Make a turn towards the salon and you'll find the Meditation Center. The space is warm and clean, be sure to check in with Marilyn or Sepi at the front desk to say that you're new. You take off your shoes (you might want to wear socks) and enter the meditation hall closed off by silkscreen doors. No need to bring pillows or a bloc as very comfortable ones are already provided for you. For those who have trouble sitting cross legged or kneeling on the floor, there are three ample rows of chairs behind the floor seating. The temperature is mild--I wore a jean jacket with a t-shirt underneath and was comfortable the whole session. After practicing two sets of walking and sitting meditation, the class sat in a circle and read a chapter from The Lost Art of Good Conversation, by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. The discussion that followed provides an excellent connection between how the physical and mental exercise of meditation translates to our everyday lives. You have nothing to lose by dropping in. I hope to provide an updated review after attending one of their Saturday sessions or courses. For a fee, they have really cool contemplative arts seminars. I wanted to sign up for the Ikebana course, the study and practice of flower arranging, but they ran out of space! The best way to keep up with its events is by following its Meetup page.
