Sheryl is Amazing! I have never had a prenatal massage before but always heard many things that It was a "must have" especially being in the 3rd trimester. Spontaneously, I found a great deal on groupon for a 90min prenatal massage. Booking the appointment was relatively easy and the place is located in Laguna Beach literally steps away from the beautiful ocean. Parking: They have a nearby parking garage which is very convenient but I found street meter parking. The staff was very friendly and professional. Sheryl was very punctual. The room was small but inviting. The prenatal massage was definitely relaxing and a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend her. She also mentioned she specializes in Shiatsu ( massage using her feet) as I did notice bars on the ceiling. She basically customizes the massage per client and that is fantastic! While I was in relaxation mode, my husband and kids were able to enjoy the beach since it was steps away from the building. So it was a perfect day for everyone! read more

Sheryl is amazing! I just got a prenatal massage with her at the recommendation of a friend. It was incredible! The bed is so luxuriously comfy. She uses great smelling organic oil.

Update: I've had 3 more massages with Sheryl post baby and she's consistently THE BEST!! I feel like a puddle of goo I'm so relaxed when I leave. read more

I had such a lovely time with Sheryl both on the table and off. During session I was able to really drop-in and disconnect from my mind, sometimes a difficult task for me!

I've known Sheryl for years and finally started getting massages with her recently. I signed up for her monthly massage membership - it saves money and serves a nice reminder that another month just flew by and that I'm due for another round of TLC. She specializes in Ashiatsu massage where she uses her feet to give a more balanced pressure and could provide even deeper pressure if needed. I love it! She's located inside Spa Josephine at the corner of PCH and Pearl (Laguna Beach) where she has a peek-a-boo view of the ocean from her treatment room. Park in garage below building! read more

Thank you Sheryl for everything and making my wife's birthday day so special. read more

Love her work!! She is a light and her energy is soothing and uplifting.. the massage is deep therapeutic and relaxing.

Sheryl was amazing. The best massage I've had in years. Not only was the service exceptional but her personality was a blessing. She was warm, nurturing and kind. Can't wait to book again! read more

Before even getting into the massage - Sheryl is SO kind and comforting!! She gets to know you a little before asking what your problem areas are, which I loved! The room is so peaceful, clean and calm! I just let her decide what I needed for my massage (problem area) and it was amazing! She released tension areas without making it painful (which is the only way I used to have massages). I have continued to feel great even days after my massage. Normally, after, I get sore and sometimes even a headache - not with Sheryl! I would highly recommend her and will definitely be a returning client - even going to have my husband go see her! Thanks again Sheryl :) read more

I had a prenatal massage with Sheryl while on vacation, and she was nothing short of amazing. Many massage therapists can provide an excellent massage (which she did), but she is also so personable and warm. She provided an atmosphere that was welcoming, warm, peaceful, and genuine. She used organic oils on me, too, which I appreciate since I am pregnant. The massage was just right and really helped me relax. Thank you for a great experience, Sheryl, and for being so kind! read more

Sheryl did such an amazing treatment during my stay in Laguna Beach. She was prompt to respond to all question beforehand, worked with me on treatment time to accommodate my other plans and was an amazing therapist during treatment. I highly recommend her. read more

I had an amazing massage from Sheryl! I received a birthday gift from a friend whom goes to her. Her place as soon as I walked in I felt calmer and relaxed. I've had a severe concussion as well as broke my back in a car accident L4,5 S1 fusion. Needless to say I was full of pain. She's awesome, it was deep tissue, all my pain and tensions are gone. She gave me so many helpful tips. I will return in one month. Thank you Sheryl! read more

Sheryl did my first prenatal massage back last year in early December. I was due in January and was still working full time and constantly on my feet running around. Let's just say...I really needed a massage! Although this is a late review, I just wanted to give Sheryl the major kudos she deserves! She was so sweet, kind, warm and excited about me becoming a first time mother! She got me very comfortable mentally/physically and as I became more relaxed, her touch was heavenly! I was able to calm my anxiety that I've been having and almost fell asleep to her smooth prenatal massage. I highly recommend her services for prenatal massages! Thanks for a great experience, Sheryl! read more

Sheryl is amazing! I just had an appointment with her today. She is very nice and easygoing, most importantly she has magical hands! Love her and will recommend her to everyone I know. read more

I found Embodiworks online a couple of months ago. I have been going once a week, and I have to say I have never had a better massage. Sheryl has some sort of intuition and knows how and where my body needs attention. I had a knee injury while skiing in March and had surgery and I'm recovering, but my recovery has definitely been enhanced by the healing touch of Sheryl. She is professional, always on time, and I come away so relaxed, like never before. I would highly recommend her to anyone, you can trust her completely. read more

I was fortunate enough to get a massage from Cheryl over the July 4th holiday and it was the most relaxing hour of my weekend! I informed her that I had a spinal fusion surgery years ago and because of that, she treated my back with the utmost care while still successfully alleviating the knots and other pain. She did an excellent job of not just focusing on one spot but instead relieving stress from my entire body which made the most tense spots feel at ease as I walked out the door. I really enjoyed the Ashiatsu part of the massage where she used her body weight via her feet to strengthen the applied pressure. And the hot stones, relaxing music, lavender towel, and ocean side location just made the experience all the better. For anyone looking to treat themselves, I highly recommend a massage from Cheryl! read more

Sheryl has a professional and therapeutic touch. I recently came in for a pre-natal massage and was truly surprised by how relaxed I felt. Lately my body has felt anything but comfortable and relaxed; this helped me more than I anticipated. I would highly recommend this type of massage to all moms to be and I will be back for a traditional massage after the baby arrives. read more

I have been going to Cheryl at EmbodiWorks for almost two years, I can not tell you she changed how I feel ! I entered her doors with shoulder pain from tennis, hip pain from a fall and a neck full of stress . I have none of the above anymore!!! Cheryl is kind and very knowledgeable about things outside of massage that can help your body feel wonderful. When wecgo on vacation and my husband suggests a massage at the resort hotel... I always say it's not going to be accheryl massage so I will wait till I get home. I recommend her very highly and never write a review either !! read more

Sheryl did a great shiatsu massage which provided awesome deep tissue release, very nice and personable, too! She also helpfully provided me with some tips to help with my mobility from home. I definitely recommend Sheryl and will be back! read more

Sheryl gave me excellent attention and care in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. She provided a very clean, relaxing and friendly environment and was great at focusing on the areas I needed. I slept like a baby after my appointment! I'm excited to try her other techniques once I'm able to lay on my belly again. Thanks, Sheryl! read more

Never had a prenatal massage before and I knew I was long over due for one. I'm so happy I found this place! Sheryl was amazing and very sweet and very responsive. She definitely knows what she's doing. She's very educational when it comes to prenatal massages, I could tell. I'm planning to schd an appt for my bf for a shiatsu massage really soon! I know he'll be well taken care of. Thanks again Sheryl! read more

Sheryl is wonderful. I went to her last weekend and got a prenatal massage and I was in heaven. It was just what I needed. She is very personable and easy to communicate with. The massage was so relaxing and it put me in a state of bliss! I definitely want to go back to her throughout the rest of my pregnancy (and beyond!). Highly recommended. read more

I love the ambiance of Sheryl's massage room. It's very relaxing and zen like with the aromatic oils. I have been a client of Sheryl's for 5 years. I always leave feeling relaxed and stress free. She has great technique and I love the ashiatsu massage technique for deep tissue relaxation. Definitely recommend you book your appointment! read more

Highly recommend Embodiworks! Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Went in with knots and left relaxed. More than just massage, she understands how the body works and will find the actual source of pain rather than just focusing on the painful area. Also in a great location with easy garage parking next to the beach. I've had plenty of mediocre massages in the past, but this is the real deal. read more

Sheryl has the hands of a goddess. I thought I hated massages - she truly changed my mind and made me realize it's all about the masseuse. She addressed all my concerns, was totally in tune with me, and provided the most relaxing environment. And steps away from the beach! It was amazing. Can't wait to go again! read more

Sheryl is the best! I just got my first massage from her and it was amazing. The location is such calm and warm environment. The massage was relaxing, but my muscles definitely got some deep therapy! She does a great job at thoroughly working over your whole body in a great flow. This was such a great time for me to destress and focus on myself. I will definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

The best massage I've ever experienced! Sheryl was fantastic and such a cool person too. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!!! Great massage and Sheryl is very kind and very caring. My body feels great thanks to her!

I had a wonderful prenatal massage. Sheryl was so kind making sure I was 100% comfortable and asked questions to know exactly where to work most for my pain. I am 36 weeks pregnant with twins with heavy back pain and after my wonderful 90 min massage I felt brand new. I'll be coming back to her in the future! read more

Sheryl at EmbodiWorks is a truly amazing and very knowledgeable massage therapist - she strikes a perfect balance being both warm and friendly and at the same time remaining very professional. She employs various techniques (Thai massage, aroma therapy, hot stones etc.) and is very open to listening to personal likes and dislikes. The spa itself is charming - it's inviting and the music is lovely. I'm lucky to have had many wonderful massages in my life and have to say Sheryl's massages are among the very best I've ever experience. read more

I lucked on getting Sheryl while being here for work. One of the best massages I have had. She asked great questions to learn more about me and my issues/ailments. She fit the massage to my needs. Went with the Ashiatsu Barefoot massage which I have never had before. It was incredible and this method clearly is able to apply the needed pressure through my back and legs that I haven't gotten from a regular massage. Thanks for a needed massage after a week of meetings. Her passion and energy for what she does is awesome. read more

Sheryl is AMAZING! She gave me the best massage I've ever had. Her full body massage was relaxing and relieved all of the pain in my back and shoulders. Not only is she lovely and highly skilled, the location is amazing and easy if you want to relax at the beach afterwards. If you're looking for an expert massage experience in a beautiful area, you HAVE to go to Sheryl!! I will definitely be going back!! read more
