    I love this newly renovated spa. It's such a relaxing, fully equipped healing haven and my number-one place to go whenever I'm feeling stressed. The team is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and supportive. With so many activity options and the sense of community they're creating, it feels like much more than just a business to me -- it's a place where I could truly belong.

    Today while enjoying a Swedish massage, LEO worked out a knot in my neck that had bothered me for a week. attached Is a picture of me with "massage hair". A sure sign of a happy client. Also Kathy at the front desk can and will answer questions regarding treatments, your account, any specials and is well informed about the "new" Wellness additions opening soon.

    I had a 60 min lymphatic massage with Lisa and would be happy to go back. She addressed the areas that needed attention and was attentive to my needs. The place was clean and relaxing overall. However, the experience was ended by the receptionist, who immediately asked for tips and proof of payment via Venmo after the session. I'm totally fine with leaving a tip, but asking for a specific amount and proof of payment felt unprofessional. I got the booking through class pass, costed me 47 credits. I learned it costs $120 for such message .

    Had a private tour of what is soon to come. My favorite spa in San Diego. Kathy was extremely attentive and helpful and made my experience memorable!

    It's my first time coming to this massage parlor. I was already in love with their simple decors. Kathy greeted me and helped me setup my appointment. She is the sweetest, she was very helpful on booking the correct massage for me. I did a deep tissue with hot stone. Jennifer was my masseuse, she was very attentive and caring during the whole processed. She checked up on me and made sure the hot stone wasn't burning me. I would highly book her again the next time. Make sure you don't drink caffeine before the appointment, you want to be relax and not tense.

    Front of business parking lot on the right no charge.

    Who is the best for deep tissue/sports/therapeutic massage here?

    What is "Clothes-On Foot & Body Fusion Massage" and why am I spending 60 min on this?!?

    This is a massage in a large room where others may be getting the same massage. Since it's not private, just wear loose gym clothes. For a very reasonable price, it's an excellent massage.

    How much is your 60 min reflexology?

    $60

    With a hot oil massage will the masseuse still step on your back or will it be too slippery because my boyfriend enjoys that part of the massage and last time they didn't do…

    They can still do it. But you have to request it. Some of the therapist do it on their own. But most of the time you must let front desk know that is what you want.

    Do you offer gift certificates? I want to give one to my wife so she can go relax while I watch our little one

    I thought a Vichy shower included laying on your tummy and then having different water pressure sprayed up and down your body- mine was more like a personal body wash- anyone else experience this?

    I have also experienced the Vichy (means water in French) shower just as you described. That is the typical method for this service at various Chinese massage/spas.… Read more

    Why can't I book a facial online? I know only the Carlsbad location offers them, but I can't book one there using online booking. Is this a glitch, or am I missing something?

    Good morning, our estheticians in Carlsbad are on call, to book any services with an esthetician you would have to call the spa directly to schedule.… Read more

    Do you do the ion foot detox, and if you do how much is the cost for one session?

    The service can range from 30-60 dollars but is often inclusive in other services for 15 minutes.

    Do you get to choose who gives you a massage or they randomly pick someone. it's my first time and not to be rude but I would rather it be by a female?

    They will ask you if you prefer male or female option. If it doesn't matter they typically assign you one that is available. It's best to ask for what you are looking for.

BUT... I had some pain in my neck and shoulders and my therapist went of script amd really helped that area. The two big issues were that we could hear a lot of noise from the lobby which took you out of the mood. And when we were still dresssing a lady walks in on us. Obviously she was embarrassed and we were a bit shocked. We were partially dressed but she should have knocked. Add to this -while we were still dressing- she started to clean the room. It was just off putting. We will be back but having the lady walk in in us was just not a great way to end the massage.

I called around 6:30pm on a Thursday and they got me in immediately at 7pm, which already felt like a win. There was a small mix-up when I arrived (they didn't have a record of my call, maybe I talked to a masseuse & she forgot to note it), but the receptionist didn't even hesitate. She said "no worries" and still fit me in. The way that was handled alone earned points! I did a deep tissue massage with hot stones with Lily. WOW. 10/10 recommend. She went to absolute war with the knots in my shoulders in the best way possible. One of the best massages I've had in a long time, and shockingly affordable for how good it was. I walked out feeling completely relaxed and de-stressed. I liked it so much that the next morning I actually called back just to ask for Lily's name so I could write this review properly. Had to give credit where it's due. Pro tip: pay cash. They use a green tea oil and even give you a face mask if you do. I will 100% be back next time I'm in San Diego.

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.

Aya was my masseuse, and she was incredible, super kind, really attentive, and clearly knew exactly what she was doing. She was great at checking in on pressure and made the whole experience feel really comfortable. We also decided to try cupping for the first time, which I was a little nervous about, but it ended up being really relaxing and not as intense as I thought. It definitely helped release a lot of tension, especially in my shoulders. The whole place had such a calm, peaceful vibe, which made it super easy to unwind. I work out pretty often, so I tend to carry a lot of soreness and tightness, and this was exactly what I needed to reset and relax. I left feeling so much looser, refreshed, and honestly just in a better mood overall. Definitely one of those "treat yourself" experiences I'll be thinking about for a while; can't wait to go back!

We both enjoyed our time! Parking: They have their own parking lot, though it's a bit smaller. We booked on a Saturday appointment at 12pm and there were only a few spots left. They only have one entrance, so they don't connect from the main parking lot behind-- just a heads up. Price: $100 for 90 minutes or $95 if cash-- which is a great price. We signed up for the $10 discount for first timers and put the code in when we booked online. But upon check in, they told us that the code only works for Monday-Thursday, which was disappointing since that wasn't listed anywhere on their website nor was it mentioned when we booked. Experience: We were in a couples room and there seemed to be a handful of rooms available. Shout out to Polly and Sara for being our therapists! They did a great job and they really dug in my problem areas. I enjoy medium to hard pressure and Polly delivered. What stood out to me the most was that after being on our back, they put Peppermint essential oil on our neck and shoulder, which felt amazing! At any other massages, my sinuses are usually so stuffy when I flip on my back but the essential oil cleared everything up. I'd like to point out however that the walls are very thin. So when people walked down the hall, you can hear them talking. Afterwards, they served tea and water. Overall: We enjoyed our first time getting Thai massage and we'd consider coming back again!

The masseuse wouldn't listen to me. He was very rough and jerky. I did not ask for deep tissue on the menu and I was getting heavy pressure with his fingers digging in my skin hard I couldn't relax at all even on the massage table I was in pain the whole time. At the end of the massage he asked if I wanted hot stones and I said no. He then proceeded to use hot stones anyways. I then told him it was too hot and he said don't worry it will cool down. I also ended up getting a bruise on my arm. This is what it looks like right after the session. Most of the movements were basic compression, lots of forearms (Lomi Lomi), kneading, and acupressure points. There wasn't any Swedish style massage technique far as I can tell and we had language barrier. Maybe I was just unlucky with the massage therapist but I'm not coming back. I am currently reading other reviews and I certainly did not receive the same treatment as others have. My foot never got soaked. I specifically asked for 30min chair and 30min feet massage combo then 1 hour massage on the table after. Never at any point asked for hot stones or deep tissue.
