    First, I would like to say that my previous visit was phenomenal. The masseuse by the name of Yoyo…read morewas excellent. I should have written a review about her, but this past experience really took away from the business as a hole and I will explain why. I purchased the Groupon for one hour deep tissue/Swedish massage. I have a friend visiting from out of town who also purchased the same Groupon offer. We called ahead of time and nobody answer the phone, and then somebody text from the establishment and we arranged for two massages within 30 minutes. Great! Upon arrival, they set up the rooms. We quickly went to our tables and proceed with the services. As my girl was entering in the room, I noticed she had her basket with two cell phones. Passing thought, I hope that's not a problem. well, I looked at the clock and it was 2:40 PM. During the massage, I kept hearing her answer the phone, in English, of course, to make arrangements for customers coming in. In between the phone calls when she was supposed to be massaging me, I felt her hand touching me as if she was making sure that I knew she was still there with her one handed very light touchmoving around on my leg and arm at different times. That behavior went on several times throughout the massage. I asked her to get into my shoulders and my neck with the deep tissue. Not only did she leave the room twice, take three business calls and spoke to clients while doing my massage, but several times I could tell she was texting because she was not massaging me, but rubbing me with her fingers of one hand while she was obviously distracted, and then she went back to two hands. When she finished the massage, I felt extremely gypped. Not to mention, she finished five minutes early. And for anyone getting a massage who really needs some muscles pushed, and work out because of pain, that five minutes is golden. Upon meeting my friend back in the front of the establishment, she was even more upset than me. She said that her girl kept talking on the phone, and her native language so she knew it was a personal call not a business call... And she did not follow her instructions either. I still tipped my girl $10 because I didn't have any change and my friend tipped her masseuse, six dollars. Hindsight, I should not have tipped them at all. And I'm a little upset about that. As we walked out of the establishment and shared our experience, I felt compelled to go back in and let her know how we felt about it. Of course she just smiled and said we will do better next time. I asked the girl where my previous masseuse was. She said she left for Seattle. I really hope they can do better because I thought I found my little diamond in the rough over there in the hood/not so great neighborhood.

    The Aura Spa has become one of my most favorite locations. Yoyo totally took care of my shoulder…read moreand back pain. She was AMAZING! The room was also quiet and clean. I walked away feeling totally relieved and would highly recommend this place. I will definitely be going back. Many thanks to the entire Aura Spa staff for my wonderful experience!

    Stephanie is an absolute legend!…read more Based on my experiences (two ashiatsu and one fusion, so far) I feel she is genuinely interested in finding exactly what her clients need and acts on those needs with a quiet confidence and strength that comes from conscious practice and a solid sense of connection with her client. I have some long term sports injuries/traumas that have hardened up in my older age (thanks to my invincible younger self!) and her ability to dig in to those as deeply as they need without anything snapping back through the movements is testament to how well she understands pressure modulation and control of the body. I have had found great massage therapists over the last twenty to thirty years and she is absolutely the best I have found. In short, I'm a big fan and I will be keeping regular visits as part of my healing journey!

    I have been receiving massages for the past 15 years. I came to Kuba Uchi and received a massage…read morefrom Stephanie who is definitely a seasoned massage therapist. Her technique was by far the best I have experienced in San Diego! She did a combination of Tui Nai with balanced deeper pressure and relaxing to help me destress and unwind. Stephanie listened to my body's needs and left me feeling relaxed and pain-free. I would highly recommend receiving a massage from her and not to mention what an amazing atmosphere.

I struggle…read moreintensely with depression and many times, body work is the missing piece to help me heal and get back on track. James's blend of techniques are perfect. He always knows exactly what to do and where my body needs to release. The fascia release work he does is incredible. I've had some of the most intense healings in my life happen on James's table. He is also greatly in tune with energy and how the body and energy field work together. As an energy healer, that's really important to me. As I said to James, he is an integral piece of my healthcare. I can't go too long without a session from him. James thank you for caring so deeply about your clients and offering your incredible expertise to the world. We're lucky to have you.

During the bodywork sessions, he becomes very intuned with your body. He will ask you questions to address any sensations felt during a specific technique and will explain how the technique may benefit you. His hands are a perfect combination of strength and sensitivity. Since James has been been treating patients for a very long time, he is very knowledgeable with various methods. He is on a continuous journey of enlightenment and spends time attending classes and seminars to educate himself. Highly Recommended!

    Go Spa was actually my second massage spot to check out when I first moved to North Park. I usually…read morego to Thai massage spots, but go spa offers a combination massage for your needs. I typically get a 90 minute combination massage and tend to get the masseuse, Kevin. Now I typically prefer female masseuses, however, Kevin is FANTASTIC. I've probably gone a total of 4x and always get him, and he's very professional, somehow knows the spots to iron out, and I always come out feeling incredibly refreshed. Best part is the head massage he does, that little puts me to sleep. Lol. The last time I went, I added cupping, which I had never done before. I was looking to detox and get my blood circulating after a trip to Vegas and it was a different experience! It does feel a little hot and tight from the obvious cupping, but I'm telling you, the pain in my lower back and hips was gone after that cupping session and massage. Will obvi be coming back!

    I didn't have a good experience here…read more First I asked for female staff. The owner was very gamey over the phone, he told me they did. When I got to the room, I was expecting a woman since he never disclosed to me... that they only have a man here named Kevin working. I also had to pay $60 BEFORE, I got services which is truly wild. Kevin, seems like a great man. I kept saying "please don't do that" "go softer" "be careful my shoulder" and he just kept saying "don't worry" and proceeded. Overall I was uncomfortable. I needed self care and now I feel worse. As I was walking out and said goodbye they both said "are you not going to tip?" I was baffled.

    I've been coming here randomly for some time. Recently I have been trying cupping for my chronic…read moreneck & back pain. The staff here is really nice & welcoming. The place is very cozy. I've been going to Rebecca for my massage & cupping and she's been so knowledgeable. She helped ease my nervousness with cupping and I really like it & enjoy it. It does slightly hurt at first but we started out at the low level and worked my way up. I feel relaxed and it does help ease the tension I have in my neck and back. But she did say I need to do daily work to fix my neck issues. Which is a work in progress. I would recommend this place. They have a large staff so you can find the right therapist for you.

    I've been here twice now, as have a couple of my friends and we all have had a "meh" experience. My…read moremain issue is with the front desk. The first time I came here over a year ago, the front desk guy wasn't friendly and it didn't start my massage in a relaxing headspace. Today, the front desk had two people there and after I was checked in, neither of them thought to tell me there's a lounge that I can sit in while I wait. I'm very obviously nine months pregnant and it's hard to walk down the block at this point. After you check in, you're in this tight spaced gift shop area with no seating and I wasn't sure what to do until I saw a guy in a walker make his way through a room that said lounge across the top. After my massage was done today, I was back in that little gift shop area waiting to check out and pay for my massage. The lady checking out before me took a while so I was just standing there, exhausted with nowhere to sit. I very clearly remember giving the gift card number I was given when I reserved the appointment online, so it was also annoying that when I finally got up to pay, they dint have any of this information. These seems like small things, but they all add up to me having to put in more effort when I'm paying to set time aside to relax.
