Wow! I recently had a relaxing and rejuvenating experience at Kevala - literally felt like a new person haha. I haven't stopped talking about it to all my friends and family! Their Lymphatic Drainage massage was everything I needed. Socorro did an excellent job and even threw in some much needed cupping + tips on stretching my neck and upper back. I noticed a significant difference in how I felt and looked over the next few days. I definitely want to come back and try more of their services! read more

I highly recommend Socorro for massage. She gives the best massage I have ever had. I have been getting weekly massages from her for the past year and a half and I have never felt better. I am virtually pain free. I went to her with severe pain in my SI joints and lower back, as well as knee pain. I also had bad IBS symptoms. She gives a firm and stable pressured massage and can find places that hurt without me saying anything. She has improved my quality of life greatly. My back and knees no longer hurt, and her abdominal massages have made my bowels regular. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. read more

This place is a nurturing home, that is filled with love, magic, kindness, and all sorts of goodness. From the teas to the products, everything is curated with such care. I love the people here for their authenticity. I walked in to enjoy a retreat planning session with my partners and nourish ourselves with lattes during the tea hours, and walked out wanting to buy coffee mugs, oracle cards, teas, bath salts, and more! What I was lucky enough to get, was a massage by Stephanie, and it was beyond amazing and healing. I wanted an hour and somehow we went to 90 minutes, to me requesting a full 2hrs. It wasn't till the next day, that I felt awakened, like a whole new being. I was in so much pain from head to toe and she helped alleviate it all with her care and touch. I can't wait for them to add snacks and extend hours so I can lounge here all day! read more

Best place ever! Nancy completely cured my back. When I first went I had such severe lower back and gluteal pain that I couldn't even walk for 5 minutes. I Can now stand and walk for over an hour due to her massages ! She is a true healer. They also sell amazing bath salts ! read more

Great place for a peaceful massage and tea! I had a sixty minute massage and a chamomile tea to follow it up--perfection!

Stephanie was so kind and attentive to my needs/areas of pain. She made me feel so heard, so comfortable and then gave me the most healing massage. The craniosacral work she did on my neck/head gave me such a release physically and emotionally. I definitely want to come back and get the 90 minute!! Also Sanja was so sweet and quick to get back to me (even after they were closed) to schedule my appointment . Thank you!! read more

Practitioners of holistic, natural medicine, an herbal elixir bar full of hand made seasonal and delicious signature blended medicinal teas, and a beautiful gathering space for enriching events all under one roof! Kevala is a neighborhood treasure. read more

Amazing! I will be back. Socorro listened to my areas of need. Signature Massage (deep tissue ) with cupping helped decrease the discomfort I was feeling in lower back, upper glute area. She was incredible. Finally found a spot that provides quality service. read more

I highly recommend Sanja for Ayurvedic services. She is kind, compassionate and very wise. And she is amazing at holding space! I received an abhyanga treatment from her and I left feeling completely relaxed, renewed and happy! Also, the Ayurvedic products she uses are of the highest quality! read more

This place is a gem! I went in for ear candling in a rush before a flight and was well taken care of! 10/10 atmosphere, location, and overall service! Thank you Sanja!!! read more

Great place for restorative body treatments! I've had the signature massage with Stephanie and they've been great - Stephanie really creates a healing environment and tries to address the underlying causes of body pain. I'm looking forward to coming back for more treatments and to try their tea. read more

Fabulous place for great massages and wellness practices! Also delicious teas. Socorro is amazing! Two thumbs up!

I just want to say, amazing customer service , additionally, beautiful studio, with wonderful energies , definitely will be returning

Last spring I completed Sanjas Cultivating Wellness cleanse using Ayurvedic traditions and nutrition. I decided to deepen my cleanse experience by doing Pancha Karma with Sanja. It included 3 days of 4 hours each time that included Bodywork, treatments and a healing Kitchardi lunch. Some of the treatments included Netra Basti, Pada Abhyanga with Tulsi Rose foot bath, herbal steam, udvarthana, Nasya, Abhyanga, and more! What a healing experience! My cleanse felt deeper and that whole body, mind and spirit were being cared for while releasing and restoring. I felt more supported then ever during my cleanse! I felt nurtured during this time of deep self care. Sanjas knowledge of these traditions is beautiful and you feel honored to experience these ancient wisdoms. Thank you Sanja! read more

Sanja is the best! I've known her and her beautiful family for quite some time now, so decided to treat the husband and I for massages at their new location. First of all, the location: SO FRIGGIN AWESOME! It's a house, vintage and beautiful on the outside. Inside: spacious, decorated with vintage furniture and a small sales area with Palo Santo, teas and other herbs for wellness! I booked our sessions separately so I was dropped off and enjoyed a much needed 90 minute "Healing Touch" massage and did the CBD add on. Soo amazing. Sanja explains the process and does her magic with care. Please make sure you communicate skin sensitivities as the products she uses are brilliant, and organic. I had my baby over a year ago and couldn't get all the postpartum care I needed due to the shutdown and let me tell you, my spiritual, mental and physical self needed this badly. Highly recommended. The husband got the 60 minute "Signature Massage" and knocked out, so that's pretty much the jist of Sanja's magic touch! ‍ PLEASE TREAT YOURSELF AND SUPPORT WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES! read more

Kevala Wellness - The most clean, serene and beautiful waiting area with lots of self care items such as teas and herbs! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was compelled to seek-out Kevala W & A since my current chiropractor screwed-up my scheduling for the weekend that I needed massage treatment (i.e., this is what happens when a pack of college-aged TikTok babies runs the receptionist's desk at your chiropractor's office--LOL). I could not be happier with Sanja's treatment. I am currently at the tail-tip of my recovery from a Grade 1 Anterolisthesis (between L5 and S1 vertebrae) that I suffered back in Summer 2017. The issues I currently have include: stiff/tense hip flexors & extensors, IT bands, quads, hamstrings, calves, Achilles' tendons, ankles and the balls and heels of my feet, where all these areas experience varying fascia levels of rock-hard or achey stiffness. Sanja's therapy is very soothing and pain relieving, so much so that during my 2nd full committed week back to the gym since the b**ch-a$$ COVID-19 Pandemic broke-out, I was and have already been able to EXERCISE RIGOROUSLY with MINIMAL PAIN. I attest the quality of my massage with Sanja both to her careful attention as well as the VERY POSITIVE energy and vibe she cultivates in her sacred healing space as an Ayurveda practitioner. HEY! DID I MENTION THAT SANJA IS A TEAOLOGIST WHO MAKES HER OWN BRAND OF DELICIOUS HERBAL TEAS for consumption??? Pick-up a jar of her Stress-Relieving RAMA TULSI, just in time for the cold isolation of the winter months ahead. She even offers a refill program for your favorite teas as well, what's not to love??!! The staff and other employees on sight are also extremely kind & friendly, which is always appreciated. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KEVALA WELLNESS & AYURVEDA, for either a back-up scheduling or regular massage therapy site! Thank you all : ) read more

First things first - Kevala is SUCH a special place. From the moment I walked in I was obsessed with all the beautiful and intentional teas and cozy design. I immediately felt at home and at ease when I was greeted by the lovely Stephanie! The lattes literally had me coming back for more and was not only delicious but really helped me with my body pains and menstrual cramps that week. Coming back I scheduled a beautiful massage with Stephanie and it was literally MAGIC. I felt so much lighter in my body and deeply healed. Her treatment was completely catered to me and my specific needs, I mentioned having a sensitive body and she completely made sure I was nurtured and cared for throughout the treatment. Having so many sensitivies with my body, I was so excited that that I walked out feeling lighter, healed, and cared for. I can't wait to come back to Kevala to get my healing latte and book another session read more

I have a lot of gratitude for this space. I received the signature massage from Nancy and it was much more than I expected. I enjoy plenty of different types of massages from Kspa, reflexology, thai... the list goes on. What was special about the Signature massage is Nancy was fully present and intentional in her healing. Energy work was performed; she guided me throughout the massage to focus on being present, relaxed and ultimately taken care of for the 90 mins. There's a lot i could say about Kevala and Nancy, but what i'd like to capture here is if you haven't had much time to yourself, been feeling overwhelmed by the worlds challenges, feeling clouded and difficulty even hearing your own inner voice ... visit Kevala. Nancy took care of me and her work on me lasted much longer than the time we spent together. I'm looking forward to our next session together. it was such a gift to remember just how important i am to myself and those i serve PS the tea is AMAZING here read more

Sanja seriously has the healing touch, a true gift. I went in for an Ayurvedic massage and left with some tears. Somehow Sanja knew where my body needed gentle release. I have had many, many therapeutic massages but never have I left feeling so emotionally open. As if some emotions were stored in my body and the massage gently called them to the surface. Imagine that! I don't know how she does it but Sanja offers the gift of physical and emotional healing together. She told me she could feel where in my body was ready to release. It was perfectly paced, firm but gentle and so so powerfully relaxing and rejuvenating. Thank you Sanja for sharing your gifts with us!!! read more

I went there today because I had covid and experiencing a post covid weird dizziness. Sanja did ear candling for me and a cleanse of my lymphatic system. Whatever she did, I promise that I feel better, not 100 percent yet but tangibly better. She has healing hands and energy and a positive spirit. And she is honest. I was willing to do a second candling and she said that I didn't need it. I will be back just to be back. Thank you Sanja. read more

I heart Sanja! She's not just any massage therapist, she's a healer! I've been seeing Sanja for probably more than 5+ years, going back to her previous space at Ajasrika. What can I say that hasn't already been said? She has magical hands - I tell her this all the time. :) I've had my share of massages, Burke Williams, Pelican Hill, Spa Gregories, you name it, I've been there and tried it. No one is on the same level as Sanja. She genuinely cares about your mental health and well-being. She has an ability to read your mind-body-spirit and provide a custom healing massage. When I show up for my session with Sanja, I'm a hot mess. After my session, there's definitely more of a balance between my mind, body and environment. Where would I be without her? Broken some place in a street corner, I'm sure of it. Thank you Sanja for taking such great care of me! read more

Sanja has a loving energy and a spiritual nature as well as, a well intentioned heart. She creates a most nurturing and grounding healing experience and is a true healer. She uses high quality ayurvedic oils which are warmed to soothe your mind and your senses. I trust her with my massages because she takes very good care of herself to offer a calming energy exchange that will leave you feeling radiant and replenished! This is very important to me because I have left many massages actually feeling the exhaustion of the masseuse. So I truly value a practitioner who takes their own self care seriously. She practices what she preaches and she is a true professional. Those are only a few of the reasons why you will love and appreciate your sessions with Sanja. On top of that, her space is a true sanctuary, it is very quiet and it is as if you entered another world of peace and tranquility. Her sweet energy is felt throughout. If I could give her 1,000,000,000 stars I would. Not only because she is wonderful in her craft, but also because she is simply priceless. Kind, compassionate, highly skilled, just a wonderful human woman and soul. Thank you again for the healing work you do! You are loved and appreciated. read more

Stopped by on my walk for some of their incredible chamomile tea! I know I will sleep tonite! Treated myself to a ginger latte, which is delicious! Also treated myself to some ghee! Is it my birthday? Feels like it! read more

Beautiful place! Received an amazing massage by Sanja. I will definitely be going back. I had so much pain in my neck/shoulders/head and arm and I feel so much better now. Sanja takes her time to figure out what you need and you can truly feel she knows what she is doing. read more

Sanja is the best! Been following her since the Ajasrika days- there is really no massage better out there. Her signature massage is the real deal- good luck trying to find another place that has better massages. Always very polite and communicates well. She does appointments by email or phone calls and has locations in Orange and Long Beach. read more

I only gave one star because I was ignored. I can't recommend this place. I will keep looking.

I love Sanja! She actually reads your body to know where your aches and pains are. I don't even need to tell her, she finds it and gets the knots out and does exactly what needs to be done. I have to say the oils are a good start to relax as well. Depending on what you need, she mixes the oils to your aches and pains. Can't wait for my next session with her. read more

Sanja is truly magical. Her massage was unlike any other I've ever had and I get massages often. From the moment I walked in she was warm and welcoming. The massage room is Zen and the oils are pure, she uses them based on your specific body and soul needs. She works the pressure points on your body and you feel her light energy, it's as if you are being healed then and there. That's what it felt like for me. In the end of the session she had allowed me to release so much tension and unwanted pain, I could only imagine if I came here more often what it would do for me. I will send all my loved ones to her! Can't wait to return again! read more

OMG! This place is a life saver! I was experiencing severe vertigo (& for anyone who doesn't know what that's like...it's like being spun around 100x to the point where you can barely see straight. It's horrible)...and unfortunately I had lots of work to do & no time for vertigo. So I called Kevala & luckily I was able to get a last minute ear candling appointment with Sanja. Thank God! Upon arriving at Kevala, the space was clean, quiet & exuded a super relaxing peaceful vibe. I was quickly greeted by Sanja who was extremely sweet, calming & professional. She went over my symptoms with me before walking me thru the ear candling process (since it was my first time trying the process). During the treatment, she was very gentle & accommodating to my needs. The whole process lasted roughly 30mins & wasn't painful (like I had expected) but instead was actually very relaxing. After leaving Kevala, I went home & my whole body was somehow so relaxed that I immediately fell into a 6hr nap (which is usually impossible for me to accomplish due to insomnia)...and when I woke up, my vertigo was GONE! It was like magic!!! I was so so so so so happy & grateful for Sanja & her nurturing energy & ability to clear my ears of whatever was causing the vertigo! So....lonnnnng story short: if your looking for ear candling (or just pure relaxation) in Long Beach, please please please go to Kevala Wellness & Ayurveda now! I promise it's worth it & you will not be disappointed!!!! :) read more

Sanja is one of the most amazing healers I have had the pleasure of experiencing! To call her a body worker or massage therapist seems so limiting for the kind of healing you will receive from her. I just had a lovely treatment the day after running a half marathon, she used the perfect amount of pressure in all of the different areas that were very sore. I could feel her undoing the lymph blockages behind my knees and the increased blood flow after. You will feel so relaxed and cared for in the most caring of ways, from the discreet way she drapes you, to the comforting way that her hand will be holding your arm or leg while her other hand massages away the tension. I cannot give her anything less than my highest recommendation! I will continue to come see her and experience this healing gift that her hands have to offer. read more

I've been getting massages from Sanja for about 10 years. In that time, I've been to other places (Groupon deals), but I always came back to Sanja & now see her exclusively. She's the best! Sanja is a very gifted practitioner, which is why I recently did my first cleanse under her tutelage. I decided to do the Ayurvedic cleanse because it wasn't a crazy juice cleanse. There was actually food involved! Sanja was awesome, guiding me through the process, offering tips & suggestions, always being positive & encouraging, & also being available for any last minute questions that popped up. I learned many new & beneficial Ayurvedic practices that I can easily incorporate into my daily life. The cleanse was a very positive experience & I would definitely do it again. read more

I don't recall how I initially found Sanja, but I have been going to her since she had a one unit place in Orange, probably 10 years or so. I lived down the street so it was very convenient. Then even though I moved to Riverside County and she expanded her place, I continued to get massages from her and her staff. Through her ups and downs, I have followed her all the way to Long Beach and Tustin. She is worth it. I feel comfortable with her and feel great after every massage. I am grateful that she is ambitious and her passion for what she does is allowing her to continue doing what she loves. I highly recommend Sanja. read more

I found Sanja at her last location (Ajasrika Spa) about 8 years ago and was so impressed with her quality and value of service(s) that I often recommended her spa to others and went as often as I could. Unfortunately she no longer has the Orange location, but we were so thrilled to find she is working in Tustin now, as well as Long Beach! Sanja really cares about her clients and the atmosphere of your experience. I've always loved the option of aromatherapy oils based on my needs and quality of massages (as well as hot towels!) from her and her staff. Thank you Sanja!! read more

Sanja isn't just a 'masseuse'. She is a living kindness. She is a gift. I have been getting a massage from Sanja once a month for the last 10 months. I started only hoping for monthly relaxation. However, I am beyond grateful that she has helped relieve my migraines to a monumental extent. I used to get them once every two weeks. Bad ones that lasted for days and made it hard to do anything at all. I used to go to a completely dark room, put in sound proof ear plugs, and sometimes even cry from the pain. Because of the blessing of Sanja, I am down to one migraine every 2 months and now, when I get them, they are manageable. I can still work. I can often treat them with just over the counter medication. So here I am, 10 months later, and whenever I open my medicine cabinet, I look at the prescription with horrible side effects and think, "I don't have to take those anymore". That's because of Sanja. She is also such a lovely person who is so great to be around. She is a true healer and cares so greatly for me and my well being. It's also pretty amazing how she reads my muscles, finds little knots and aches, and works them out. All the while, I can also feel where my migraines normally are and I feel them slowly pulse away. I have never had just a 'masseuse' care for me the way Sanja does. She always greets me with the biggest smile, a gentle spirit, and a sincere empathy that is so rare. I tell everyone with any aches to see her. The least I can do to thank her for all she has done for me is to tell you to see her, too. I can promise you won't regret it. The more you see her, the more your body will surprise you with the healing she imparts. Thank you, Sanja! You are a miracle worker! read more

Let me start off by saying, if you haven't received an AWESOME massage, well your missing out!! I have tried so many massage therapist and let me just say, yes they're good therapist out there but Amazing!!!! Well, not too many. Sanja doesn't only give you a FANTASTIC massage, she is able to read your bodies needs. The connection and ability to heal is absolutely AMAZING. Healer at heart. She really believes in her work and is a true healer. Hands of a healer for sure!!! read more

I first discovered Sanja's gift of touch when looking for a convenient location along my bicycle commute route to work in 2011. I seek someone who is aware and sensitive to the body structure in a massage therapist and Sanja has proven supremely capable at identifying and providing relief and recovery for acute and chronic muscle and tendon issues. I tend to seek a deep pressure experience while my wife prefers soothing pressure relief and we both have found Sanja to be supremely capable of meeting both of our needs every time. read more

Wow! Sonja is an incredible therapist. I've seen her quite a few times now and after each session I feel AMAZING! The best way I can describe Sanja's massage is that it is like drifting away into a massage ocean. Everything is so flowy. She intuitively knows exactly what needs work in my body. Sometimes she finds spots that need work that I didn't even know needed work! It's hard to find a massage therapist that you are happy with on every level. I'm so happy I discovered Sanja because now I know who to call when I'm feeling stressed or having body aches. Thank you, Sanja! read more

I've been getting massages from Sanja for close to 10 years! She hands down the best massage therapist I've ever had. She really cares and it's obvious that she loves what she does! She is in sync with you the entire time! It's a beautiful thing! read more
