Best! Massage! Ever!…read more My husband and I had an appointment and it had to be rescheduled due to an emergency with the massage therapist which was no worry and they were great about rescheduling when we were available. When we got there they'd given us an upgrade due to the "inconvenience" which I'd say it wasn't at all especially since everyone was so nice about it! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process and even brought us water afterward. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in town!

But my shoulder/neck area was sore for the next few days. I'm sure if I said something, he would have lightened up. The people there are very nice. They have long hours to accommodate everyone.

There are feelers, and there are healers and Steve of Livewell therapeutic massage is at the…read moreforefront of the healing arts. I can tell instantly when a person puts their hands on me if they have the gift of touch and Steve is the real deal. A beautiful and intimate space with many amazing plants bespeaks of a personal and inviting sanctuary for one to rest and heal. When one entrusts one's body to a healer one must be able to do just that and Steve's gifted technique has been honed over years of applied principles to the point of mastery. He is capable of any level of massage or healing: one only need to specify desired modality and pressure. Massage began with a good epsom salt foot scrub and then progressed to one of the deeper applications of pressure point massages I've ever had in my life, and I've had a few. To use this level of strength and pressure a person really must know what they're doing to effect healing and not injury, and healing is certainly the case here at Livewell massage; one of the finest boutique massage outfits on the planet, sans the boutique pricetag. I was poured a nice cup of some cherry juice at end to hydrate cause man, I was zonked! In a word - Go!

The front desk staff was very accommodating and got us situated right away. The prices are very fair, and I can genuinely say this was one of the best massages I've had in a very long time. Lee was extremely professional and knowledgeable, especially when it came to pressure points and areas of tension. We will definitely be returning!

We waited about 15 minutes to be called in and the the man said we will do the combo, so I said okay, perfect! well I should have just done the foot one, literally it felt as if I was rubbing lotion on my legs. Just like that. No pressure, nothing. Just like when you put lotion on. Both my husband and I were disappointed. But it was our first time, so we didn't complain. Will I try again...hmmm usually I give a couple tries, but not this time only because my husband had the same situation. Sorry but won't be returning.

For the last few years, I have been on the hunt for a great massage place for my wife. I found Yelp…read morereviews for Oceanside that seemed like a good fit. It's a walk-in joint, we planned for reflexology, but ended up with a combo couples massage + feet for 60 minutes (well I wasn't expecting that!). The next surprise was the note in the room 'take off clothes and keep underwear on'... well, if I knew that, I would have worn my Sunday best! But my wife seemed amused, since she knows how uncomfortable I am with that kind of thing. After 60 minutes, the massage was concluded with grace, I felt pretty sleepy, relaxed, and really pleased to hear my wife suggesting it was one of the best massages she's had. I want to thank the Yelp reviewers for giving me the Impetus, and the team there for a professional, relaxing, and rejuvenating experience. I'm certain this will become a regular spot for us. Thanks again!

When they asked how long we wanted the massage for, I said one hour because they close at 9 pm, but they said we can do however long we want, it's up to us. We still chose the one hour since we felt bad making them stay longer, but the fact that they were so flexible is great customer service. The actual massage was incredible. The rooms are private, and my boyfriend literally fell asleep. I felt so relaxed after, and they applied the perfect amount of pressure. The prices are also unbeatable. I'd 100% recommend this place to everybody I know!

I've been to Sunflower Massage twice over the past couple of months-and both visits had the same…read moreissue occur in that the posted prices were not honored. Both times I selected the "30 min foot + 30 min body combo" massage listed on the sign for $60. On the first visit, when it was time to pay, I was told I had received a Swedish massage and was charged $70, even though I did not receive a Swedish massage. I returned a second time assuming the first visit was a misunderstanding. Again, I chose the "30 min foot + 30 min body combo" massage for $60, and again at checkout I was told the total was $70, due to a $10 upcharge for "deep pressure." This upcharge was not disclosed in advance. I was only asked if I preferred soft or firmer pressure at the beginning of the massage. I answered "firmer", which is my preference and doesn't result in an upcharge anywhere I go - unless I specifically select a deep tissue massage. The unexpected price change at checkout caused sticker shock, which completely ruined the relaxation of the massage. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but as this happened twice now... I don't feel inclined to go back to try a third time, let alone try anything else on their menu. The second visit also skipped arms, shoulders, and hands, which are normally included in a massage, and there was no foot bath, which is typically standard at a foot reflexology place. While I did appreciate the private room and it seemed clean, it was tiny and I was freezing, despite a space heater being in the room. Clear, upfront pricing is important. When the advertised price changes at payment, especially more than once, it's not a good experience. I generally tip 30% at these establishments and still did so, as I don't know if the overcharge was from the employee, or employer-but I definitely won't be returning and I will look for another place that doesn't try to bait & switch on pricing.

Omg what a treasure I stumbled upon today!…read more Woke up this morning and decided to drive to Monterey from San Jose. Last minute decided I wanted a massage and this place was a 5 min drive away, so I took a chance and happy I did. Moon was excellent! I frequent 'Asian style' communal massage places, and also go to proper day spas about once a year, so I have experience at both types. This place is a mix of both. Oceanway Spa is no fuss, clean and quiet. Moon did an excellent Swedish massage and was listening to my body. She was able to feel where my body was tender and work on those spots. The massage is a great value and I'll be back when I'm in town again. Lastly, I'm a clean freak and impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. My room had a comfy massage table and cozy warm blanket. Please visit Moon! Your body will thank you. My only regret is this spa isn't in San Jose :(
