It is advisable you…read morecall before because during our massage we heard the staff call someone to move their 3:40 arrival to 4 pm. The actual massages were great. We got the one-hour combination massage and both massage therapists were great and used good strength. Mine focused on deep tissue, pressure points, and some Swedish techniques. He was very good and my partner enjoyed his massage too. I was very surprised by the prices, which are unbeatable. I can't believe they still offer 30-minute foot massages for less than $30. We would definitely return the next time we are in Santa Cruz.

I've been coming here regularly for years. The past four times I have commented to them that they…read moreplay the same piece of music over and over in a five minute loop. I have asked them to fix it. The guy at the front got annoyed with me, saying I am the only person who notices this. He showed me the YouTube on his phone, which shows a three hour loop. Well, the thing is stuck on one song (which I could now easily play on the piano, having heard it so many times), and he refuses to believe me. I can't read the Chinese characters on his phone screen to show him how to fix it. The guy told me to bring my own headphones next time (I tried this once and couldn't relax with two sources of music playing at once). He was clearly unhappy with me. And I was unhappy too, because now I don't want to go back to my favorite massage place. Every massage I have had there was great (except for the danged music). Has anybody else noticed the five-minute music loop there? I'd be really curious to know whether it bothers anyone else. I would suspect that anyone with the slightest bit of musical background would find it irritating, as I do.

I've never had a massage I didn't love, and my face always looks noticeably more relaxed when I leave. I highly recommend stopping by for an hour massage combo. I called today and they had an opening within 20 minutes! It was so calming to be there. They made my day so much better. When it comes to body work, I really appreciate everyone that wants to help. I walked out so much happier and truly relaxed. Thank you guys so much!!

However I've been experiencing some elbow pain due to an overuse injury related to my occupation. I've seen my chiropractor a few times about it which brought some relief, but it's still been bugging me a lot. My wife has been seeing Stephanie for a couple years now, and booked me a 2hr appointment with her (knowing I'd never do it myself). I had the appointment yesterday, and I'm SO glad I did. I could instantly tell that Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all the muscles and connective tissues, knowing that where it hurt was not necessarily where the problem was originating. She confessed that she loves the challenge of finding those pesky source knots/tensions/misbehaving parts, almost like a detective solving a crime. Well my body is guilty as charged, and she expertly reduced 90% of my pain in the first 2hr appointment. If you want the perfect blend of a feel-good massage with what I'd describe as therapeutic/medical-level therapy, look no further than Stephanie at Soul Purpose Massage. I can tell that she can turn that dial of "feel good" to "hurts good" depending on each client's specific needs/wants. I definitely wanted the pain issues dealt with and couldn't care less about the feel good aspects (although the whole experience definitely was amazing). The room itself is very cozy, with a great view of the forest in the big picture window. Plenty of parking right off Soquel Dr. Why wait, book Stephanie now!
