The raving reviews left me with high expectations going in. These were not only met but were exceeded. For the price of a one hour Thai combination deep tissue massage, this place simply cannot be beat. Penny is not a large woman, in any sense of the word, but her strength is legendary and she was able to get into all my known, and some unknown, knots. I left my massage, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and to be quite honest, lie on my feet. There is ample free parking available, and I especially love the separated private rooms for some added peace. If you like massages where they go in and breakdown your knots, I give this place five out of five stars.

The Now Santa Monica can be hit or miss sometimes with their massage therapists, but Jason S. and…read moreTroy F. are excellent. Troy is especially exceptional. Troy is by far the best therapist at The Now, and probably the best massage therapist I've had and will have in my life. He's intuitive and knowledgeable, never rushes through a session, and knows exactly what your body needs. He never follows a cookie cutter routine. He listens to your body, adjusts pressure accordingly, and works through all the spots that need it most. The Now is lucky to have him. Thank you, Troy!

It is an affordable massage and it was what I was looking for. You can hear if someone is talking in the other rooms, but there really wasn't much of that, I think just people checking out. Overall, I'm happy this place is in walking distance to me!

The core reason to come here? Great massages with heated massage tables! I've been here a handful…read moreof times and each deep tissue massage was legit. My friend enjoyed her pre-natal massage as well where they gave her a pillow to hug while on her side. They even have the bars up top if you'd like to have your back walked on Thai-style. The rooms are quiet and did I mention that the tables are heated? The latter makes a huge difference to the experience, but you can always choose to have it shut off. There's a parking lot in the back and reservations are recommended though they have a bunch of massage therapists available if you walk in. The current prices are pretty affordable at $68/hr but because of that, do be aware they expect higher than average tips anywhere from $25-$35/hr. Super worth it!

Lighting is low, the space is quiet, and you're not dealing with chaos or rushed energy. The staff knows what they're doing. No awkward guessing, no wasted time. The massage was consistent, strong where it needed to be, and relaxing without feeling lazy. You can tell they've done this thousands of times. What stands out most is the atmosphere. It feels private and intentional, not like a crowded spa trying to push people through. You're able to actually relax instead of feeling like you're on a timer. If you want a place that delivers exactly what you expect without gimmicks, Raven Spa is solid.

Massage - 3.5/5 Inside - 3/5…read moreParking - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Very convenient parking lot across the street, short walk to get inside. Inside was warehouse style, with an open ceiling and curtains to separate each room. You can easily hear people walking in or talking. The music was just a tad loud as well. Booked a 90 minute DEEP TISSUE couples massage, and my husband and I have differing opinions. The man he received gave him the pressure he expected with this type of massage, which is not necessarily relaxing. He also stated that the masseuse didn't neglect or graze over any part of his muscles, and felt that he really took his time on every area. Meanwhile I had the complete opposite experience. The little lady I had seemed like she just wasted my time. Not sure how a 90 minute massage could feel so rushed. A lot of back and forth rubbing, with no deep localized pressure on any area. The pressure was so easy that I almost fell asleep twice. Also was confused why she had her fingers INSIDE my ears lmao. I didn't want to complain and disturb my husband's experience, but I sat there hoping it'd get better (it didn't). I really need to start requesting men for my massages. I just realized there was no aromatherapy as advertised while typing this. They were able to price match my Groupon, which was nice. We saw the price was lower than when we first inquired, and asked if we could get that price instead. The lady at the front desk said something weird like "we are completely booked today so no, we can only give the price at the time of booking." I'm like you only had to say the second half of that sentence, what did being fully booked have to do with anything? I was fine with the original price. Would I be back? Maybe, if I was able to book with who my husband had. I left slightly annoyed and he left happy.

My experience here wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I was gifted a couples massage and made…read morean appointment with my husband right when it opened. When we got there, the receptionist emphasized to our masseuses that we were to be in separate rooms multiple times which was weird because it was a couples massage. We were brought to separate rooms and the masseuse just stepped out of the room without saying anything. I had to step outside to ask her if I should take off my clothes LOL. She spoke very broken English with an accent so I couldn't really understand her. In addition, the rooms weren't very private. I could hear everyone since it was a big room separated by curtains. The massage itself was okay. I didn't feel particularly comfortable the hour I was there. Halfway through, she turned me over and massaged my scalp. She ended up putting oil in my hair which I didn't like. Overall, my husband and my experiences were similar. It wasn't great but not terrible either. I probably wouldn't come back.

The spa is gorgeous - warm, earthy colors and textures - and it's quieter than quiet. I felt cocooned immediately - what a balm for my nervous system. I booked the 90-minute Surya's Signature Abhyanga Massage - the experience was truly a beautiful ceremony. The treatment rooms are exotic and a balance of masculine and feminine - the private bathroom with shower was very special too. I had never experienced a massage like this and had no idea what to expect. When the two therapists began to stream warm Ayurvedic oils - I got to choose which oils I'd like - over my body, I was completely in my senses - my thoughts vanished. The massage was light and soft - something I've never experienced before and I discovered that this is exactly what my body loves. I've always gotten deep tissue bodywork before - and - this type of massage, along with the special oils and the incredibly gifted therapists - melted away all the tension and stress I'd been carrying. I've honestly never felt more relaxed, cleansed, cherished or cared for before like this at any spa anywhere in the world. This treatment is worth every penny - it was, for me, a life changing experience for sure. The perfect de-stressor and antidote to living in the city. Thank you Surya Spa!
