I was fortunate enough to find this wonderful spa near my Airbnb and glad I did. Sandie the owner was very friendly and welcoming and Dana my massage therapist was great and had me very relaxed from my treatment. I didn't want to leave! The space has a wonderful patio area to relax after your treatment and the beach is literally a minutes walk away! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marina del Rey or anywhere else in LA. I will definitely come back again when I am visiting here. read more

We left feeling very deceived. Do not believe the Yelp pictures. It gives the illusion this is a professional spa place, but in reality it's someone's converted apartment!!! I brought my boyfriend in for the couples massage. Online, it said we were going to have the beach cabana space and have a nice massage on the beach. Sounded fantastic. Instead, we got a massage in a crowded cabana on their backyard patio!!! When we arrived, here's what happened: 1) We got there on time. No one was at the reception. After waiting 10 min, two ladies showed up. On top of that, this was a converted apartment turned into a business!! It's like going into someone's condo. 2) one lady told the other one to put some chocolate chips in the chocolate fondue fountain. She put them in and then I SAW her EAT some with her hands and then lick her fingers!! WTF. How do you serve that to customers? 3) we were led into another room to get dressed. Really awkward place to get dressed... They had us change in an open area, and it seemed like people were walking in and out. Wow very uncomfortable. 4) we were then taken outside to our "beach Cabana". It was a small tent/Home Depot cabana set up in the corner of her apartment patio!!!! Totally not the beach experience that was advertised! She told me that it was because it was cold, which is why we were setup in her patio? Makes no sense to me. 5) the massage itself was okay, not bad. The whole time we heard cars driving by... NOT the waves or the ocean. I guess you can pretend those are the sound of waves. So much for a "beach cabana" massage. 6) after the massage, we felt very greasy. Not sure what they rubbed all over our bodies. We were then brought to the sauna. I was in there for a couple minutes then left to use the bathroom. Upon my return, they came to me and said it was over. Um... Ok thanks for the few minutes in there. 7) the owner took us to the same large room where we were supposed to be changing. There were two ladies in there, which the owner then told them to get out. We were about it to change and right when I was undressing the owner walked in and asked how we were doing. Are u kidding me??? How can I feel comfortable when I'm told to change and then the owner comes in 2 minutes later. 8) we were given champagne and two strawberries with chocolate at the end. There was hair on my plate. Overall, it was not a good experience. I feel very lied to. I asked on the phone before I booked it and was told it was beach massage. LIES. If u want a massage NEAR the water and on a patio, then this is the place for you. Also, so overpriced!!!! And so below expectations. It was such an awkward place. I was so embarrassed taking my boyfriend here. At this price, I expected a professional spa, not a lady's apartment turned into a spa. read more

I can't review the yoga or pilates, but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by the body scrub I received. I've been needing a good exfoliation, and I normally like to go into K-Town to get a good scrubbing, but I really wanted a more relaxed experiece. I had a lot of trouble finding body scrubs in West LA that wouldn't cost a fortune, and I was happy to find this place. I was able to reserve an appointment online, which was great. I got a call within a couple of hours to finalize times and discuss any health issues. From a logistical standpoint, that was awesome. When I arrived at the studio, Sandie the owner met me. She was a little distracted since they just opened, but was very courteous. She took me to another room for my treatment. I met Sonja, my therapist. We sat and talked for a couple of minutes to discuss what I was looking for, and that was a real plus for me. I really liked how she took the time to talk to me beforehand. The treatment was great. It was called "The Sandy Beach". It started with a dry brush. Then Sonja massaged some oil into my body and sprinkled salt on me. Then she massaged the salt scrub. When she was done, she asked me to rinse off in the shower. Then she finished with a massage with some sort of moisturizing oil. Overall, I thought it was a good experience. The price was reasonable, and I would go back. I didn't feel quite as exfoliated as a korean spa, but I definitely felt much more relaxed when I left. read more

Creative Chakra is a great little spa, a hop skip and a jump from the ocean, in Venice. The facility is inviting and calming. You can see and hear the ocean. All of their massages are priced the same so you don't have to think about your pocket book. Only think of what is best for your body and mind. They emphasize a wholistic approach to their therapy. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. What's nice is everyone can use the facilities that include hot tub (no time machine) and sauna. They also are associated with some other classes, like self defense and yoga. You can also get a massage on the beach! They encourage couples to come and make a day of it. Check this place out read more

I was really looking for a nice place by the beach that could accommodate me the same day because I was going to be in the area for a lunch meeting. It was hands down the best ever! I'm new to massages, don't really like people touching my back-but the laid back atmosphere ( beach breeze doesn't hurt either) helped to put me at ease. It was just real relaxing and I needed to wind down, the tea was cool and I could sit in the sauna at first to get my mind off thedaily hum drum of L.A. life and Christmas shopping! So yes, I am a fan and will be back ! Thanks Sandie for the delish tea! I look forward to coming back, professional, clean , kind and good vibes. read more

I've experienced massage by the CEO of Creative Chakra Spa on many occasions and the quality of her massage and healing is in a league of its own. The experience is holistic and really helpful to your life. The spa has accommodated several workshops I've led, and I found the hospitality given to me and my students to be above and beyond what I have experienced in some other spaces. My experience over the years has been consistent. It's also quite nice it is seconds from the Marina Del Rey beach! read more

I have been meaning to write about this spa for awhile now. I have not been here in quite sometime but I do remember, the times I did spend there. I had about 4 different treatments. One of the best treatments I experienced was the Indian Head Massage and Oil in the third eye, with the massage. It was a real eye opening... and helped with relaxing and to have more of a conscious state after the treatment... I must say that Sandi is awesome, and not just because we share the same name, but because she is the owner and has done a fantastic job at creating a great space with a relaxing zen environment for anyone to go enjoy and relax, whether you enjoy a treatment, a class, or just to go and relax and get a small romantic getaway with your other half, as they offer great packages for that..Such as the wonderful Couples massage, in which to this day has been the only massage my husband and I have enjoyed together... Definitely a hidden Gem in Marina Del Rey, make sure to check it out and look for any special deals WORTH IT.. read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday to have a nice relaxing experience on February 8, and my husband's shoulder is still in such pain from the horribly inexperienced masseuse who messed it up! Let me start with the good: the location is nice as it's a few steps away from the beach, and the salad they served us at the end was absolutely delicious. Now, here is the rest of our impression of Creative Charkra spa: -False advertising -Very disorganized -Dirty and grungy -Inexperienced/Terrible masseuses False Advertising The place looks so much nicer in the pictures. In real life it is tiny and a dingy looking place. The spa boasts ocean views, but like other reviewers pointed out, it was nowhere to be found. You'd have to step out of the spa and actually walk to the beach to get an ocean view. Whatever, it wasn't a deal breaker for me but just don't advertise ocean views since people tend shell out more cash for a better view. Very disorganized. When I spoke to the owner on the phone about how my husband wanted a male therapist and I wanted a female, she was like "yea yea yea we ALWAYS do that." Well this was not the case as our massage therapists immediately assumed that I'd want to go with the male and my husband would want to be with the female. I had to interrupt them and let them know that we requested the opposite, and they were like "well it's always done this way, people usually like having an opposite sex working on them." okay well, at least ask us what we prefer first, and this shows that the owner did not do a good job communicating what we wanted. I was left being worked on a very uncomfortable table that did not support my neck properly even though we tried multiple times to adjust it, the female therapist said she couldn't do anything about it since she could only work on a lower table. Again, had the owner relayed our preferences, a proper massage table could've been accommodated as this table was clearly meant for a man with a much larger head. Another example is that our two masseuses seemed to not communicate with each other properly and it seemed like neither one knew what to do or how to set us up before the massage and after. We didn't even get to enjoy sitting outside in the patio. The whole thing didn't feel like a proper experience, it was lacking a proper flow. It felt very hurried and disorganized. Dirty and grungy -The bathroom was dirty -The sheets and robes smelled and had stains on them -The jacuzzi was not at all like a spa jacuzzi, it was like those cheap backyard tubs. There were bottles of cleaners and plastic hangers around the tub, which added to the grunge factor. I don't expect this from a so called luxurious spa. The inexperienced, terrible masseuse My husband and I are absolutely certain that his masseuse was inexperienced. He was odd, and always frazzled and never seemed to know what he was doing. We gave him the benefit of the doubt, but after my husband received the worst massage of his life from him that kept his shoulder injured still to this day16 days and counting, I had to draw the line and write this review to let others know to be careful. My masseuse thankfully didn't injure me, but it was fairly obvious she had no idea what she was doing. I get massages about once a week, and I'm not kidding when I say that was the worst massage of my life as well. I wasn't shy about letting her know if I wanted her to give more pressure or not, she just didn't know what to do and pressed and poked randomly. I was glad it was over. Overall, the money doesn't justify the experience at all. Even in Beverly Hills spas you get much more for your money with an actual luxurious experience. I do not recommend this place. read more

Very relaxing! Sandie and Dana are very friendly and really good! Had a great time with the wifey!

I highly recommend this spa to all my friends, it is unique in every way. I know about top notch spas as my Mom had one of the best ones in Chicago. So when I write this review, I'm writing it with integrity. Knowing that Creative Chakra Spa has these amazing packages for couples to celebrate with your loved one, which I did. We were running late and the spa was accommodating, our package was for 2 hours, but we stayed for 3 at no additional cost. They are steps from the beach, so we took a walk down there for sunset. Pros: Tons of Privacy, Excellent Body Work, Private use of Jacuzzi or Sauna (who does that!), Inviting Atmosphere, Pleasing Decor, Free street parking Cons: Not easy to find because it's at the beach. At first it seems smaller than it actually is until you understand there are other people enjoying other areas of the spa. read more

I have used this spa several times over the last year. The interior is comfortable and relaxing. The owner is knowledgeable and offers many services. I take advantage of the infrared sauna. It is an energizing detox. The spa offers classes and workshops as well as treatments. It's so good even celebrities are known to use it! If you want to treat yourself this is the place. The owner is kind and will be open to your wishes. read more

My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday with a special trip to the Creative Chakra Spa. I was greeted by the owner Sandie who welcomed me and educated me on the benefits of chakra healing. It was an innovative experience as Jackie, my massage therapist used various oils to massage and balance my chakras. Jackie helped to clear some blockage around my heart chakra which left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. After my massage my boyfriend and I relaxed and enjoyed the amenities of the day spa including the hot tub and sitting area. Overall is was an informative, relaxing, rejuvenating, and romantic experience. I would highly recommend Sandie and her team for a special occasion or if you are looking to pamper yourself in a spiritual way. read more

DONT DO IT! I REPEAT DO NOT DO IT! Ok now that I got that off my chest please don't be fooled. My husband made the mistake of bringing me here for a couples massage after seeing pictures on an ad. The pictures are completely false advertising. First off It's an apartment building and the entrance is off the alley way. No parking and if you know Marina Del Rey it's an absolute hassle. One of the masseuse (Im guessing it's not the owner or the one in charge) was not very nice or welcoming. Just very condescending tone in her voice almost like she was annoyed we were there. Very awkward exchanges. When my husband turned around to grab the towel I noticed she made a nasty face at him. Completely rude. The room was pretty much set up in the balcony with no views other than the alleyway and the back of a building. You could hear the neighbors talk, tvs, music etc. The massage felt rushed and I did not enjoy it all. What absolutely blew my mind was when my husband was going to pay, the owner or whoever is in charge had the audacity to tell him there is a mandatory 20% tip ON TOP OF THE $350 she charged him ! Wow ! I could've fainted with how pissed I was at her unprofessionalism! Ever have I had that happen EVER! I was pissed at my husband for falling for this scam to begin with. $400 down the drain in one hour for a crappy massage from 2 people with crappy attitudes in a crappy place. Please once again if you didn't hear me loud enough the first two time, DONT DO IT! read more

There's only one business in the Marina peninsula and this one is it. You can lay on the beach 50 feet from the spa,come in, meditate and get a deep tissue massage from Melissa, relax, take a infrared sauna, have some yummy cool flavored water and never feel rushed. I even enjoyed the vitamin C shower which I have never even heard of before. But it was Sandi West's healing hands and energy that took away the sharp pain in my shoulder and neck today. Don't be in a rush and treat yourself to a mini vacation. read more

Paid Sandy (the "SPA" owner) $630.00 for a couples massage. It was my anniversary and invited my wife. I'm pretty embarrassed now , even to tell my lousy experience here publicly. But I think You all should know about my stupidity and what to expect if you decide going to this "SPA". Booked the 4 hour Bliss Therapy Ayurveda Couples massage which promises an ultimate spa experience with 2 (two) therapists massaging each person in a sunny garden suite, & much more, etc. etc.etc. - read description- The owner Sandy greets us with a little cup of peppermint tea on the outside narrow veranda, asked a few questions to determine our Dosha, guess that's what she calls "consultation" and then introduces us to the masseur. ONE masseur NOT FOUR (4) as booked, promised and described. Location is in a run down multi unit building on Pacific in Venice CA. You will notice immediately that is not really clean at all, once you walk inside. It's Actually the entire space is dirty. Sandy herself wears a old t-shirt over a disheveled yoga stretch pant. Then she brings you to the "sunny garden suite" which is really a small balcony covered with an old canopy tent. There's all sort of messy decoration around, a miniscule sauna squeezed in a corner , plus another old small infrared sauna and a small dirty tub covered with a Home Depot tarp. The two massage tables back to back are covered with moldy smelling discolored flannel sheets. The masseur does a decent job for over an hour an then its my turn to do the 3rd eye oil drip. It consist of oil running over your forehead and Sandy scrubbing your hair until your entire head is dripping wet in oil. Meanwhile this is supposed to last an hour while Sandy mumbling some chakra mantra and telling you to enjoy , let go and relax. But you can hear the neighbors talking and slamming doors on the first floor and the traffic noise on Pacific avenue is unbearably loud. She offers the use of the bathroom and shower , which consist of a 5ftx5ft hole, blueish walls painted with clouds , the plastic shower is dirty , once I took the shower the whole floor was flooded bcs. the moldy shoer curtain is too short. Sandy gives you a old dirty white towel and invites me to take a "relaxing" bath with my wife in that old mini tub and drink 99c champagne. At that point I'm so disgusted and grossed out and tell my wife if she doesn't mind to cut this whole thing short. Still polite I tell Sandy that I'm overwhelmed and we had enough "experience". I fell kind of pity to speak out and call her out on this fraud. Figure she's just a swindler and I fell for it. If you don't believe me just go there. It's worse then I can express in words. I thought about getting my money back but my wife said that although it was kind of super gross , she was ok with the massage and she liked my gesture & idea of inviting her to a couples retreat. Unfortunately this was probably the grossest 2 1/2 hours SPA experience I ever had. read more

I had a great first experience at Creative Chakra Spa yesterday, and I look forward to my next. First off, Sandie, the owner, goes above and beyond to be accommodating. I called for a last minute appointment after a stressful day, and she made it happen. Beyond providing me a relaxing massage via one of her wonderful therapists, Rasa, she threw in a free sit in her infrared sauna. Thank you Sandie and Rasa for bringing about a wonderful conclusion to an otherwise trying afternoon. I'd like to address some of the poor reviews, as they seem to be by silly people making silly complaints. The location is lovely, and literally steps away from the beach. No, you can't see the beach from your massage table, but you'd be paying quite a lot more in a spa situated directly on the ocean and the prices here are reasonable for all you get. For those complaining of the massage lacking firmness: you have an opportunity prior to your session to customize it...Your failure to communicate is not the therapist's failure to provide. Moreover, anyone complaining of the service is out of their mind--it's top notch and I felt well cared for from the moment I entered to the moment I left. Don't listen to the haters, you'll enjoy yourself here. read more

We went to this spa for my birthday as it was just a walk away from our Airbnb and most spas were closed for COVID. I think the issue with this place is that it's marketed like a luxury spa experience. We were told it's right on the beach which was extremely misleading as you couldn't even see the beach from it and it was along a noisy street. The surrounding noise made it difficult to relax and it seemed very amateur like. They were using an old stereo to play music which broke down multiple times while we were there and cause scary fluctuations of volume. We waited outside for a good 15 minutes before the lady gave us tea, which really should have been ready when we arrived. The massage therapist, while extremely sweet, seemed very inexperienced. She wouldn't repeat the same things on each side. When she massaged my neck, it was the wrong area so she was pressing down against my windpipe, making it hard to breathe. Honestly my best friend gives me better massages. I am giving two stars since the head massage was nice. I felt like everything was prepared right when we got there. They were running around getting things ready and at one point it seemed like the therapist and owner were arguing. It was awkward. To top things off the owner at the end was like I'll charge 20% tip okayy? Like no! The prices you charge are comparable to a luxury hotel spa and it's ridiculous for the mediocre services you provide. My advice? Lower your prices, market honestly, and invest in some training. read more

I had the most wonderful Chaka Massage with Ananda. She had the hands of an Angel and I walked out feeling like a new woman. The spa itself was warm and private. The owner Sandie was a delight and made me feel so welcome. I will be coming back! read more

I was here a couple of months ago, and I still regret every penny I spent for this "experience". Aside from the fact that she messed up my appointment time and managed to blame it on me, there are so many things that left me dissatisfied. The place looks nothing like the pictures!!! I wanted to make my BF's BD extra special, and booked a couple's package at this place. We were supposed to have our massages done by a fireplace, but instead, it was done in a simple room. What was supposed to be a "jacuzzi"- felt like a tiny, dirty bathtub. The owner rushed us through and asked us several times to get dressed faster. This was by far the worst "spa" experience I've ever had. I paid 500$, tried to make my bf's bd extra special, but instead left feeling like I ruined his bd. read more

Oh man, just go ahead and book this place. We did a fireside couples massage, but since it was cold out, Sandy for a whole new setup for us and threw in some extra scrubs and time. The massages were wonderful. The place feels so well thought out and intimate and peaceful. Sandy is truly wonderful and you should stay and talk with her if you can! The aromatherapy spa is wonderful and the sauna is a perfect temp. Great little appetizer too at the end! I loved loved it. You really should go!! read more

Way too expensive and not well coordinated as an experience. The area is dirty and not soothing. The other options in the area are superior in every single way. AVOID. read more

Amazing experience. This was my first time having a chakra massage and the staff walked me through what to expect and the benefits of what was to come. The oils were customized for the chakra I wanted to focus on and I was treated with fresh tea when I arrived. I was surprised by the hidden oasis in the back of the massage room where I enjoyed a sauna. This is my new home away from home and I can't wait to return and try the mud wrap! read more

Creative Chakra Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a beautiful and relaxing respite from the daily stressors of life!! On a mini-vacation from the East Coast, my boyfriend and I were staying at a nearby AirB&B for a few days. We kept walking by Creative Chakra Spa, on our way to town and the beach, wondering about the services. So, we finally called and spoke to the owner, Sandie West, who booked us a couples massage at 12 PM that day itself. When we arrived, Sandie greeted us with chakra information and cards; so, we could each do a reading before our massages began. She offered us water and then, led us to the back where we met Erin and Julie, our massage therapists. The massage space is very open with sunlight peeking in, yet very relaxing and calming. We each disrobed and got under the sheets for our massages. I soon completely forgot about my boyfriend and fell asleep as Julie worked out the kinks in my neck, shoulders and hips. Ahhh... After our amazing massages, Julie and Erin told us to take our time and that we were welcome to don robes, take showers and hit the jacuzzi or sauna. We chose the jacuzzi, which was on a deck, but covered with flowy sheets for canopy and privacy. We sat drinking lemon water, letting the jacuzzi jets continue to caress our loosened muscles. We didn't want to leave! Sandie, Erin and Julie treated us like royalty, never rushing us and making us feel at home. Their prices are extremely affordable. If you find yourself in Marina Del Rey or thereabouts, you MUST treat yourself and make an appointment at Creative Chakra Spa!! read more

Our experience at this spa was wonderful. Our host was gracious was accommodating. We had the 2 hour fireside Massage. We were able to get an additional half hour. Our masseuse were great. We will definitely go back. read more

My wife and I booked a couple's massage. We were greeted by the owner and immediately approved of the essential oil aromatherapy wafting throughout. The massage was nice, and coupled with the salt scrub and infrared sauna, it was a pleasant finish. After the cool down on the patio, we were a 100' from the ocean, near the pier, and enjoyed a walk on the beach. read more

I loved the chakra healing in my massage session. Great hospitality. We were well taken care of. The experience as a whole was great. I will definitely be telling my friends. read more

It was one of the best massages I've had and the staff are very knowledgeable. The place is so quiet, calming and clean inside.

Dear Sandie, This was the most deceiving and uncomfortable experience I have ever had and therefore I am leaving my first Yelp review in your honor. I scheduled an appt for a 60 min facial and before my appt I decided to glance at the Yelp reviews where I was immediately turned off by the comments regarding cleanliness and unprofessional behavior. Discouraged and grossed out I called to cancel the appt- Sandie, the "CEO" talked me into giving the spa a chance and told me that she had to call in an extra aesthetician who was already in an Uber on her way. Out of respect for the aesthetician I decided to go. When I arrived I was completely horrified..the place was filthy and resembled the home of a hoarder..there was crap covering every inch of the room. At this point, it's my fault I didn't leave. When I was taken in for the facial there was no aesthetician to be found, no one had taken an Uber to be here. It was Sandie who would perform the facial-do you even have a license to practice? You are a con artist and a liar and you should be ashamed of taking advantage of people for a living. It was hardly a facial that I received- more like 20 minutes of sloppy workmanship, zero attention to detail and lots of mindless shuffling around the room while I lay there with my eyes covered. I left with green residue on my face and hairline along with itchy skin. When it was finally over you graciously gave yourself an undeserved 20% tip on my card which was truly tasteless and unbelievable. I had no words at this point, just wanted to leave as soon as possible. On top of it all, the fact that you try to sell yourself as spiritually enlightened is insulting and just false. Your passive aggressive and desperate approach is sad and won't get you much further. read more

Creative Chakra Spa is an absolute treasure! It has a back outside area that is filled with massive character, warmth, comfort and so much love. You are constantly surprised behind every corner with unexpected wow factors, hidden gems and personal artistic touches. You truly feel the love here from the overall guest experience to the cozy and welcoming decor. I love this location and I'm sure anyone who visits here will feel the same! read more

The worst experience I've ever had at a "spa", if you can even call it that. This place feels like a scam. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to book a last minute massage, so we went with Creative Chakra Spa as a more modest option to say, Burke Williams. It was still like $100 per person. All of the negative reviews on here are legit, and they sound just like the experience we had: 1) Owner was erratic and aggressive. She rushed us around the whole time. She walked into our room twice while we were disrobing and I felt like I had to hide in a corner. This is because her office was only accessible through the treatment room. She also came into the room during the massage to ask if we wanted a facial, and put hot towels on our faces. Odd. 2) The facility is a converted condo that's dirty and, I suspect, not up to code. There were extension cords running everywhere, and sheets hanging from the walls to separate spaces. 3) The massages SUCKED. My therapist had either severely cracked skin or long nails that were scratching me, and she injured my forearm muscle so badly it hurt for two days. My husband's therapist was wearing dirty clothes. 4) The music kept skipping and the therapists kept stopping the massages to fix it and were bickering. 5) The package included a sauna session afterward, which was not pre-heated, so we were shivering in 65 degree weather to wait for it to come up to 100 degrees. 6) The shower/bathroom is a dark, dirty and small. 7) The towels were old and crusty. 8) The ocean view is a blantant lie. read more

I really want to say something nice about this place because the employees there are so nice, but we went there to get a romantic couples massage and it was everything but. The place is cute, if you were paying $50, but for almost $400 it's crap (note that regular price is $550?! WHAT?!)! We went there to get a fireside massage - no fire in sight while we were getting the massages by two of the worst masseuses we have ever had! Seriously, it's the day after today and we both can't move and the bruises I've gotten are so ridiculous you'd think I've been beaten with a bamboo stick. The massage was so painful, so uncomfortable I was counting the minutes until it was over. We arrived at 6:30 and were greeted by the owner. Again, very sweet - offered us some chilled red wine and had us fill out paperwork. After over an hour wait, we were led into a room and were told that this is where we would be getting the massage. I explained that we booked the fireside massage and she made a bunch of excuses and I asked how much longer to wait for that and she said about 30 min. We offered to go get a drink nearby and would return when they were ready for us. We figured our plans were already ruined, so we should just make the best of it. We weren't called back until an hour later! By the time we got to our massage tables it was 8:30. No discounts were offered for the wait and the jacuzzi we were offered afterwards was placed right under neighboring windows (can't say if anyone was there), so we just skipped that altogether. We both had a feeling that we were guinea pigs for 2 completely inexperienced young people. The place lacks organization, it's dingy and definitely NOT romantic - they've tried to hide messes with curtains, and it just doesn't work. We really felt super sad having spent all that money to make Valentine's special, but hey, it was an experience. Something we're trying to laugh off. read more

I have no idea how this place has positive reviews. I also had an incredibly disappointing experience and feel compelled to share so others are not fooled into going to Creative Chakra. I had booked a couples massage and dinner for my anniversary and I wish I had gone elsewhere. The facility was old and filled with thrift store junk, the massages were not therapeutic or relaxing, the bathroom shower head didn't work, the multi course dinner was a soup and salad likely out of a box, the hot tub was luke warm, there was no reference to healing chakras, it was dirty, therapists seemed to lack training; you get the picture. It was an all around poor experience and the complete opposite of what is advertised. It was also expensive! I felt scammed. Do not go here. read more

They were warm and welcoming. I loved that she talked me through the areas she was working on and how my daily routine effects my body. The Indian head massage was incredible. I will absolutely be returning for another session. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful! Cozy and peaceful. I love the location of the spa...just steps from the beach. After my day there I walked down to the water to dip my feet in. The massage is self was outstanding! Really good quality. To put it simply I loved my experience read more

I want to share my incredibly positive experiences at Creative Chakra. Sandie and her staff are so welcoming and made me feel relaxed immediately. I've had several massages from Dana, who is amazing and actually helped me immensely in healing from an injury I sustained from an accident. She is easy to communicate with about what I'm feeling, and I was happy to zone out and let her do her thing. The infared sauna and hot tub are really nice, and I spent time in each after my massage. The whole place has a peaceful, healing vibe, and everything is super clean and smells great! I can't wait to go back. read more

I love this place and plan on adding it to my routine. It's a great way to connect with a loved one or some girl friends. You literally have the whole place to yourself and it's so relaxing. I loved how there was no pressure to hurry up and we were allowed to take our time. I highly recommend doing a couples treatment. Plus, there is no other place in LA where you can do a couples bath! read more

I went to Creative Chakra Spa to use the hydrotherapy bath because I had been under a lot of stress. I couldn't believe how beautiful the facilities were inside. I felt like I was transported to another place. From the bathroom to the massage rooms. I was given a fluffy bath robe and some slippers. I took a shower and then proceeded to the hydrotherapy bath. I must have stayed in there for an hour. It was so relaxing the environment the music. I am coming back! read more

Looking for a truly unique way to celebrate a bride or birthday? Check out Creative Chakra! I am really excited to write a review because this place is a little known gem, and I would like to reassure anyone who, like me, likes to read a range of honest reviews of a place that you can get good treatment for a great value here. I found it by chance by following a link from the Venice Inn Hotel. I hosted a bachelorette party for my sister here, which owner and hands-on coordinator/therapist Sandie and her crew, uniquely call a "Spa-chelorette Party" and it was even better than I had imagined it could be!!! There were 7 of us and we had a mix of lounging on the outdoor patio in soft robes eating lunch(we brought in our own potluck) and toasting the bride, interspersed with all of us having fabulous treatments, either facial, body scrub and pedicure or massages plus using the sauna, hydrotherapy tub and showers. We were all still feeling the relaxing and glowing effects the next day as everyone expressed in emails to thank me for planning the party for us all! If you want to plan a party here, I highly recommend it. My suggestion is that the more people you add who want treatments, the more time you allot. We were planning on 12-4 and it ended up 12-5 (which was great for us as we didn't want to leave after being so relaxed, and although the staff didn't mention it, I wanted to get out of their way after they had worked so hard) As Sandie aims to make each party so unique by even offering limo services and dance lessons, etc.,(which we didn't use) that she doesn't post the costs or time frames (like corporate spas do). So I found that I needed a little more clarification and was able to get that by writing up a proposal of what I was expecting each person to pay (we were splitting 6 ways for our selves and bride) and explaining my vision of how the day would go. FYI, parking was the typical balance of finding it on the street, nearby beach lot or calling to get into the lot and use their limited spaces. Plan accordingly. Like I said at the beginning of this now long note, Sandie came through, charged us less than I had expected and the day was absolutely fabulous and memorable. As a full-time student now, I was still able to afford to give my sister the best gift of such a great party because I chose Creative Chakra! Thank you, Sandie and crew. read more

On my last day in LA I found this place and was able to book the anti-aging facial (30+) - just as my 32nd is approaching --- and WHAT a REVELATION it was! Pat gave me the best facial experience ever and was even able to extend to another 30min neck and shoulder massage bc she realized how tense I was. Her shiatsu facial massage relieved so many points of pressure for me, I walked out of there feeling renewed and completely relaxed! If I had more time on my last day, I would have happily spent the whole day and gotten a full body massage. I will do so if I come back to LA but really highly recommend Pat, thank you - kob kun ka!! Truly phenomenal! read more

Dirty, low vibes, stinky towels, abusive and crazy customer service by owner. What an unpleasant experience! Would not recommend to anyone. read more
