I feel so lucky to have found Staci on Yelp. I had been going to a monthly membership club for treatment and became frustrated by the poor quality and experience. She responded to my inquiry right away and was able to get me in. My massage was incredible. She is such a professional. Her energy and the ambiance she provides is so calming and inviting and her rates are fair. I immediately relaxed and melted into the experience. I explained what I was having issues with and she knew just how to tackle them. I love the cupping option she incorporates into the massage. I only wish I had found her sooner! read more

Staci is an amazing massage therapist! I have been going to her for years and typically have a 75 minute massage with the last 15 minutes being Reiki. She is a gifted energy healer and I highly recommend her. read more

Yesterday, I had my first session with Staci. I arrived feeling incredibly stressed but left feeling so much better. I absolutely recommend her! read more

Staci is amazing and second to none. I have chronic neck and back pain. When I left, I felt like a new man. She also gave some pointers to help me stretch I am glad that I went and highly recommend that you use Staci's services read more

Staci is a 10-star by far!! She has healing hands and healing energy. Her massages are nothing short of amazing. Highly intuitive and deeply connected to her craft, Staci tailors her massage to your needs. She even finds troubled areas. Staci has a warm personality that's very comforting and calming. I found Staci on Yelp! in late December of 2018 and booked my first appointment with her in early January. I've been getting massages from her at least every 2 weeks since then. Her massages are imperative to my wellbeing. read more

I have been coming to Stacy since 2017sh and keep going back to her because she's amazing. Every session I have with her makes me feel so relaxed and feel like a new person when I leave. It's 2022 and I'll still going to her for massages and cupping read more

Staci has been one of the most - if not actually THE most - attentive therapist I have ever had. She is such a calming soul, and it translates into her massage work. No matter how crummy I'm feeling she always leaves me feeling better physically and mentally. I appreciate her attention to detail and ability to work magic on the body. Long story short I had some things going on and was having crazy vertigo for a few weeks - I went to see a doctor and no one could really figure out what was going on. Rather than take medicine (I wanted to leave it as a last resort) I tried getting a massage instead. I don't know what happened, or what Staci did but I felt so much better after our session and I haven't had vertigo since. This isn't meant to deter you from going to a doctor if you have something serious going on, but in my case it was mild and getting a massage and cupping from Staci helped resolve my situation. Needless to say I've become a regular and I adore her! I don't feel achy and sore the next day from any of her massages and I've never left hurting. I have always left her space feeling relaxed and clear-headed, so I'll keep coming back! read more

One of the best massages I have ever received. I work long hours on a computer and consequently suffer from upper back, neck, and shoulder pain. Regular massages help significantly, but not all massages are created equal. I can safely say that seeking out a skilled specialist like Staci is worth your time and money. I reached out via email, and was able to get an appointment just a few days later. I visited Staci's location in Long Beach, which is cute and comfortable. We discussed my problem areas, and then I got comfortable in the soft, cozy massage bed. Staci is very cool, and has a calming presence that will put you at ease. I opted for a full body massage with a focus on my back, and it was truly a perfect one hour session. Excellent pacing, and refined techniques that were both productive and relaxing. I loved the use of aromatherapy as well. I left feeling like a new person. My pain was alleviated and even my mental clarity felt improved. Highly recommended. read more

Getting a massage is a deeply personal experience both with yourself and with the person you entrust to do the work. Staci has a very high level of emotional intelligence and ease about her. She personalized my massage to what was needed that day and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole experience. Receiving massages is a brand new experience for me and Staci taught me how to receive the work she's doing- something I hadn't thought about before. I woke up today feeling so much lighter than when I walked in yesterday. Whenever I need a massage, I will be going back to her! read more

I had a wonderful massage by Staci! She is so sweet and calming in the way she talks to you to find out what you need worked on. Her space is very inviting. She did massage and cupping on me and I felt release in my muscle tension in a whole new way! The cupping didn't hurt, but it added another level of release to my sore shoulder. I felt so relaxed during the massage. I thought she went longer than the scheduled time because I felt so good! Afterward I had less pain and better mobility. I would highly recommend Staci! read more

Had an amazing session with Staci today ,she is attentive to your ailments and has gentle healing hands and would highly recommend her services. She has a genuine and calming aura. Loraine read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Staci. I received a combination of massage, craniosacral therapy and reiki. She was thorough with asking questions beforehand to make sure she gave me the most satisfying experience possible. Her gentle, soothing voice was a pleasure to listen to and the room I had the treatment in was very quiet and private. Her technique is top notch, she is very professional and she makes sure you are satisfied before, during and after. I will definitely be coming back whenever I can :) read more

Staci is seriously a miracle worker. Let me explain, I go to her every week now (she is totally affordable so you should consider it), and literally every week I come to her with a new muscular malady. Staci, my quads hurt. Staci, my back hurts. Staci, will you use magnesium oil so I can absorb it better? Today it was my jaw, and, man, DID IT HURT. She totally got it and kept on working on it until it got dramatically less sore. I mean massage or a pain pill ... I would go with the massage. She is truly both gifted and knowledgeable: a powerful combination in the world of healthcare professionals. In addition to knowing her stuff and kicking butt in massage, she is also extremely kind and generous of spirit. She wants you to come every week and her general pleasantness and prices reflect that. It is rare to find someone with such a talent who really values your health. I always feel like a million bucks after a massage by Staci, and my only concern in giving her five glowing stars is that I won't be able to get a standing appointment. Book an appointment with Staci and she will cure what ails you. Also, I just read her website (for the first time) and she donates 5% of your massage profits to charity ... could she get any better? I don't think so! PS. She is a gem at responding to email and phone calls. Don't you just hate it when you leave an email with someone and it takes days to respond? Yeah, she doesn't do that. Seriously, friends, book a session or two -- the holidays are a stressful time! read more

Staci is by far one of the best massage practitioners I've come across. She's attune with the needs of your body and is super thorough. I always feel grounded and balanced after a session. Not only is Staci so nice, she's professional and loves what she does, which radiates from her. I recommend her deep tissue and hot stone they are both AMAZING! She's got great prices and you definitely get more than you pay for. If you're looking to relax or work out some kinks Staci's your girl, she can do no wrong in my book. read more

I've had a lot of massages in my life in a variety of places (high-end spas, resorts, cruise ships, gyms, holistic spa centers, you name it) but Staci is by far the BEST. The main reason Staci is so good is that she can get real work done without you even knowing it. It just feels good and relaxing, unlike many other "deep tissue" massages I've received from less skilled therapists. After working a ton of overtime a few months ago my back was killing me from being on the computer and phone so much, but in one 90 minute session Staci worked out all of the pain in my neck & back. I will definitely go back to her if I have any back or muscle strain (or if I just need to relax!) I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great massage. read more

I think I say this to her every time: "Staci, you have a gift!!" Staci consistently delivers the best massages I've ever had! She has a calming presence that puts you at ease. She's very intuitive, always seems to find & loosen up the worst spots in my shoulders, and communicates well (and still briefly) to make sure things like room temperature and the amount of pressure are just right. Before the massage, she'll go over how your body is feeling overall, and if you're feeling especially tense in any areas, or if you have pain anywhere. I have fibromyalgia, which can be tricky, but she is alternately gentle & strong where she needs to be, and her work really helps to alleviate the symptoms. I always walk out afterward in a relaxed half-daze, with a dopey smile on my face and a happy cloud where my brain usually resides. read more

Staci has changed my view on how massages should be. I typically did the Groupon type deals for massages but decided to try a real massage therapist and found Staci on Yelp. I tried her and then signed up for a 10 massage package. A few things I noticed that really stuck out 1) the mood, ambiance and Staci's energy makes the experience much more unique and much better 2) having a consistent massage therapist really makes a difference in wellness since she gets to know your pain areas over time 3) the technique is much more 'professional' and fixes muscle pains without having to leverage extreme pressure. Now Staci in particular stands out even more. If I can sum up how she differentiates herself, it would be her attention to detail. For example, she must have a muscle knot radar because she ALWAYS finds where pain points our without me ever saying a word. She also gently moves your limbs and tucks the sheets when moving around the body. She even offered eucalyptus oil to breathe in when she noticed my nose was a bit stuffy. Lastly, Staci has an amazing skill where she has the ability to warm her hands via internal energy (qi in Chinese). You can feel her energy and hands get warm esp towards the end when she is wrapping up. It is an unique experience that you do not get with typical massage therapist. Staci is a wellness and spiritual healer. I always look forward to my 90 min with her not just to feel better, but to escape and relax from the everyday hustle and bustle. read more

My wife and I recently had a baby and were looking for a way to treat ourselves to something nice, and we decided on a massage. Staci came to our home, and with her magic touch she restored our achy backs to brand new! She is totally professional, has great rates, and makes sure to ask you if you want her to work on anything specific. And the fact that she comes to your home is just icing on the cake. read more

Staci's been my massage therapist for many years and I've always been a big fan of her work. Now that she's started offering Craniosacral Therapy, I knew I had to try it. Being in the spa industry, I'm constantly exposed to different types of bodywork and healing work. And I can honestly say the craniosacral session with Staci was top-notch! Due to a couple of very stressful weeks I was feeling extremely tense and restless. Staci helped me to feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated with just one session and I can't wait for my next one! The sacrum release is a must try - it relieved all of my lower back tension! Thanks Staci! You are a true healer! read more

Staci is a remarkable massage therapist! I relocated from NYC earlier this year. I had worked with an incredibly gifted therapist for the past 4 years and was hoping that I'd find someone in the same league. I tried out a couple of different ones but none were up to the task. I read all the great reviews on Yelp for Staci and figured it was worth at least 1 session. 15 minutes into our first session, I knew I had found my new massage therapist (the reviews are right on the money)! Her rates are very reasonable too! If you are looking for a new massage therapist, your search is over---- book a session with Staci! read more

Staci has been my massage therapist for many months, and I plan to see her for many more months to come. I would like to recommend Staci for anyone looking for the following qualities in their therapist: 1. Good communication 2. Precision control in finger strength 3. Ability to sense even the smallest knot 4. Advanced training in cupping treatment (it is soothing) 5. Tailored recommendations on how to improve general well-being read more

Staci is the best. I found her via yelp two years ago and can't believe I haven't written till now. She is such a warm, sweet person in addition to being an excellent massage therapist. For me, massage needs to be productive in addition to relaxing... No Swedish, I want tension to actually go the hell away. Staci always focuses on the known problem areas and finds/destroys others. Side rib congestion...? hello goodbye. 1. Her deep tissue is fantastic 2. CUPPING. I think I have a Staci cupping addiction. The vacuum seal is such a cool addition to normal massage. I'm a believer in the push/pull concept with regard to relieving muscle tension - massage to push and flatten out the problems and cupping to suck up the rest. You'll leave with battle scars but they are worth it and fade in a few days. Her space is quiet and serene and I pretty much couldn't be a bigger fan. Book :) read more

FANTASTIC!!! Wonderful, cozy space inside Olive Yoga studio and such an experienced therapist. Staci is incredible with everything from body work to cupping! I recommend Staci to everyone and encourage you to visit her for a session! read more

I heard of the place through a co-worker knowing I've been having a few problem areas my neck, back and feet. I tried the Fire Cupping and it was such a relief I can feel the magic of its touch working as I lay there I believe it's my favorite treatment for my pinch nerve and achy shoulder area thus far. I recommend going to Staci's if you want to detach from reality: work, stress, the city ect... While I was there I lost concept of time and the aesthetic of her place calmly transports you to a world of peace:) she sure has awesome technic. Mahalo Staci I'll be back again. Aloha read more

Massage By Staci - Reflexology Near Me - Long Beach, California

Heard about Staci thru the best of Long Beach awards... And she is the best. I've been through quite a few massage therapist, and nothing compares to Staci. Upon entering I felt comfortable, relaxed and she listenEd To What types of parts on my body were aching. I did the one hour massage focusing on my shoulders and backAnd had her go a little deeper on my shoulders since I've been in pain for a while. With in 20 minutes I felt the tension go out of my upper body and she was in tune with where my aches and knots were. I also asked about cupping since I've never tried it and she showed me on my body what it was about, which I appreciate it. By far one of the best massages I've gotten in a while. Plus she's very accommodating with your schedule. She's my new go to And will be seeing her regularly. Within two days I felt almost no tension in my shoulders so it worked. Thank you Staci read more

I love massage and have experienced many different types of massage therapists over the years...and I highly recommend Staci!!!! I used to get massages from Staci when she lived in SF, and now whenever I'm on vacation in Los Angeles, I try to book a 90 minute massage with her. She is a healer and provides an incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I appreciate her energy, and the decor but I LOVE her technique and how she listens to my body. I always feel better leaving her space and highly recommend her. read more

Had a really nice massage with her, and later cupping, and will likely get more. I'd gone to cheaper places, where many of the folks speak little to no English, but it was always hard to communicate what I wanted, and afterwards I didn't feel completely satisfied. Guess you get what you pay for. Sitting in Staci's waiting room, I felt relaxed. A good sign. For me, Staci's gift is her combination of skill (muscular technique and selective use of low heat); intuition on where to work; gentle communication to be sure you're pleased and enjoying it; and the extra mile of nice smelling essential oils and a comforting, safe ambiance. And she has quiet, friendly, 'good listener' energy and strong hands, all of which helped us have a great, zonked out session. :) read more

I was recently visiting a friend and his aerobed killed my back. He referred me to Staci, and she worked magic on me! I feel fantastic now and really was impressed by the quality of service she provided. It was nice to step away from the glitzy spots with impersonal service to a much more personalized environment and a fantastic massage. Thanks Staci! read more

I won a free 1-hour massage from a scholarship dinner for work that I attended a few weeks back. Booking this massage was very easy, Staci is extremely flexible in her scheduling and very friendly through email. Let me tell you, this massage was amazing. She found my trouble spots (my traps) and worked the knots out to the best of her ability. Her massage parlor is small but cozy and very clean. I appreciated the heated massage table as well as the hot towels that she uses throughout the massage as well. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back and see her again. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quality massage by someone who really knows what they are doing. read more

Staci is the best! She has a very soothing personality and you feel it in your massage. I tend to carry a lot of anxiety in my upper back and she really put me at ease. That being said, she is also able to get deep into the tender trouble spots and makes a huge difference in my daily activity. She also offers cupping with the massages which really helps release the tension. She is very good at cupping without leaving those ugly bruises I usually get at other places. I wish I could go more often! read more

When I moved to Long Beach, I was looking for a massage therapist and saw a Yelp review for Massage by Staci. She had recently moved here from the West side and being a new transplant from the South Bay, I felt as if we just might be kindred spirits, even before I met her or had a massage. Turns out that was true! I have been with Staci for about 6 months now and she began working on me at a time when my lower back was not doing so well. I had previously undergone two lower back surgeries in October and was a bit apprehensive to have anyone work on me. I was in a lot of pain in my back and both legs and hoped that massage might relieve some of the tightness and discomfort I was feeling on a daily basis. And that is exactly what happened! Staci's knowledge of the body coupled with her reassuring and positive attitude were just what I needed than and still do now. read more

Staci is an absolute goddess. She intentionally listens to my concerns and creates a relaxing massage/cupping experience based on what my needs are for THAT session. As a trauma survivor, it's often hard for me to feel safe in many situations, and especially one such as massage. Staci creates a safe environment and demeanor, and checks in to make sure I'm ok. She's truly a godsend and I cannot say enough about the healing gifts this beautiful woman so generously gives in each session. Not only has she been instrumental in my physical wellness, but my emotional well being also. There aren't adequate words to express my gratitude for Staci and all that she offers! read more

I am a waitress and bar tender, as well as being an active California girl. As a result, I am hard on my body, so I treat it right by going to Staci as often as I can (ends up being about once a month). She is so great at tuning into your specific massage needs and matching technique and skill with your particular problem areas. She is like my body mechanic and keeps everything tuned up and running well. I am convinced that her work is adding years of life to my body. And you can't beat her prices! Very reasonable, even for a working girl. read more

I am so thankful to have Staci here in Long Beach. I have had lots of massages, and her massages have a great balance... they always leave me feeling relaxed, as well as addressing my issues, and relieving tension. She has created the perfect space...comfortable, and she is professional. I am looking forward to trying cupping, and some of the other services that Staci provides. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

When it comes to bodywork, it's important to find someone you trust. I have an enormous amount of trust in Staci's skill. Regardless of how vague my complaints are, she always seems to know exactly what areas need work most. She varies her techniques, so every massage feels different, even if it's the same area previously worked on. She's also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to aftercare and self-care exercises. In terms of the actual massage, Staci maintains a balance between friendly and focused. She checks in with my needs regularly and always makes me feel calm and comfortable. I could not recommend a more talented massage therapist in California. read more

I booked a massage with Staci based on the great reviews that I read on Yelp (actually, my husband found her on Yelp and suggested that I see her). I have to say - all of the reviews are spot on. Staci is a wonderful massage therapist! I have been to her twice and both times, she's worked wonders. I always feel pain in my neck and shoulders. She was able to work out the kinks and I left both sessions feeling 10 times better. She also gives a great foot massage! Staci is intuitive and seems to really be in tune with your body. She also seems very kind and compassionate. :) I will continue to go to her and recommend her to my family and friends! read more

Staci is an amazing massage therapist! I have been visiting her in the old West Side location for years, and the new space in Long Beach is such a beautiful oasis of calm and peace, perfect for escaping the stresses of the world. From the moment I walk in, her presence is so soothing, so grounding that it's easy to relax and feel comfortable. She has such keen intuition for finding those stubborn knots and releasing tension. And she's so professional, I always feel that she really listens to my needs and focuses on those areas that need extra attention. I leave the table feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to take on the world again. I've been happy with every session I've had with Staci! She's the absolute best! read more

I've had a lot of massage in my life but one massage therapist really stand out above the rest. She is Staci Nicoletti CMT. Her massage was the best massage I ever had in my life. She knows how to pin point all the problem areas on my body plus she really listens to my needs and a very caring person. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. I've been to a lot of massage therapy spas and they are usually over priced and don't know what they are doing and it's totally waste of money. But Staci's price is very reasonable and she has so much to offer and she knows many different types of massage modalities. I really like her deep tissue and swedish. Now I see her every week cuz she is really making a difference in my life. GO SEE STACI SHE IS A+++++++ FANTASTIC! =) read more

Back in the spring, I pulled something in my left shoulder. Since then, I've experienced some dull pain and stiffness in that area. It just never healed right. I'd complain about it a lot, but didn't know what to do. And then this past week it flared up like no other and I just decided to bite the bullet and get a massage. I felt like there were a few options in the area: (1) cheap massages by questionably licensed masseuses that may or may not really work on the area you need (these are the few massages I've had in the past), (2) crazy expensive massages at chi-chi spas where you're paying for the ambiance, or (3) a more medical-oriented massage which could run the gamut from affordable to you-better-have-insurance-coverage-on-this expensive. I wanted to go for option 3, and a Yelp search of massage therapists in my neighborhood led me to Staci. Because she's new to the West LA area (hence all of these previous reviews being from San Fran), she was offering a $45 for 60 min massage introductory offer (after this it's $60/60 min). She was booked for a few days when I first contacted her, and with my shoulder getting progressively worse I considered going somewhere else, but I stuck it out and waited until Saturday to get a massage by her. And I am very happy that I waited things out. Staci is practicing in a space on the corner of Santa Monica and Carmelina (just over the SM border in West LA). The building has a mix of medical/alternative medical and general office uses. I'm not sure if there's parking, since I walked, but there's plenty of street parking on Carmelina and the adjacent side streets that's all free. The treatment room is pretty sparse but is clean and comfortable, which is what's important. You're not going to sit in a sauna or don a fancy robe or anything like that - but that's the point - she's not masking her talent in a fancy spa environment. When I first got there I filled out an intake form, and discussed with Staci what was going on with my shoulder. She discussed the options I could have with my treatment and made recommendations. She was very communicative pre-massage. For the treatment itself, she focused about 75% of the time on my shoulder and the rest of the time on an upper body massage. Your own massage can be catered to your needs. She was very communicative, especially when doing deep-tissue. She made sure that I was comfortable the entire time, which was great since I rarely get massages. And she checked in from time to time to see if I wanted more/less pressure. She found the exact spot that was causing me all this trouble - and she was able to identify where it was - it wasn't just happenstance and really worked on that area. Staci seemed very knowledgable about the anatomy and took her time approaching the knots/scar tissue that had formed from various angles to relieve discomfort. I can't say that I'm perfectly healed since I think I'll probably need some more shoulder work to get back to 100%. However, the improvement is really phenomenal. I had one massage since my injury at another place that wasn't nearly as responsive about what was going on and was more cookie-cutter in their approach. After that I didn't really feel any better. Right now my shoulder is much less stiff, in much less pain, and I can really feel like it's on track to getting better. Staci is very professional and talented as a massage therapist. While I don't usually budget money to get a monthly massage, I would definitely consider it now. And I would most definitely pay $60 to get a massage by her for a very tailored session over the $45 massages in the area that are less focused on your specific treatment and rather give massages like they're rote tasks. read more

With long hours working in front of a computer and an even longer commute, I can hold so much tension in my neck and shoulders it makes my entire back hurt. Well, no more! Staci was recommended by a friend. She is very good. She created a relaxing atmosphere with lighting and scents. She offered me a deep tissue after listening to a description of my woes. I agreed, but with the caveat that she start off easy since I had a bad experience with that technique in the past. She was fine with the idea and very attentive, checking in frequently regarding the pressure. Shortly after beginning I could tell that she had more of an interest in my comfort than delivering the deep tissue that makes people scream down the hall. I asked her to use as much pressure as she felt necessary. The massage proceeded wonderfully, but challenging as it should have been. Staci was able to pinpoint my trouble spots (or knots) and really work them out. All in all, very professional, interested in your personal comfort but not so much you won't be satisfied with the results. Highly recommended! read more
