My husband booked me a prenatal massage with Shirley since I kept asking him daily for massages…read more Finding the spot was a bit tricky at first, but turns out we were in the wrong parking lot. Verona Massage is located on El Camino, which can be hectic, but there is free parking in the back, and once you enter the building, it gets a little bit quieter. There are some cool crystals and geodes on display in the main building. There are 2 rooms for Verona Massage, and it is not a spa or foot massage place. Shirley takes appointments, and I am so grateful my husband booked me one with her. It felt very private, relaxing, and I didn't feel rushed at all. This was my second time getting a prenatal massage, and I can hands down say that this was better than the one I got in Hawaii. She focused on my knots that I didn't even know I had! I appreciated the quiet environment and calm she creates. She has great technique and applies just the right amount of pressure, although she checked in on the pressure as needed. There was not a moment where I felt like I needed to tell her to apply more/less pressure. The 1 hour was simply pure bliss. It was truly a relaxing and healing experience, and I'm looking forward to my next session with her!!

Shirley is very talented, has very strong hands and has a deep understanding of the body. She was able to get some of my deep knots to the surface by massaging other parts of the body. I booked a two hour deep tissue and she definitely delivered. The place is professional and clean, but note that it is not a spa. I don't think I'd come here for couple massages or a "luxurious typical relaxing" experience, I'd come here for a truly relaxing massage that'll help heal your body. Also, this is not a cheap foot massage spot if that's what you're looking for. I think this is actually the perfect spot if you're looking for a real massage. Would definitely come again!

The first time, both my husband & I had deep tissue massages for 90min. It was my 1st time getting that. Swedish is what I get generally, and I much rather that. So, for my birthday, got that the 2nd time, while my husband enjoyed his deep tissue for 60min. If we went 2 times already, that means we enjoy it for the prices, as long as I get Groupon prices. Had Mia & Monica the 1st time, and Even & Yanni the 2nd time. Yanni said don't purchase the Groupon, they'll match the prices.

Even better, parking is easy--a rare and much-appreciated bonus! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the most calming aromatherapy scent that instantly puts you at ease. The front desk team is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully organized. Before your service, you'll complete a thoughtful intake form that allows you to personalize your experience. One detail I especially appreciated was being able to indicate my conversation preferences ahead of time, so there was never any awkwardness about whether I wanted to chat, relax in silence, or enjoy something in between. It's such a thoughtful touch that immediately sets the tone for a truly relaxing experience. For my Swedish massage, I also appreciated being able to mark areas of tension directly on a body diagram so my therapist knew exactly where I needed the most attention. My appointment was with **Owen, and he was exceptional.** He quickly reviewed my intake form, asked a few thoughtful questions, and immediately understood what my body needed. His work was truly magical. He relieved the tightness in my upper back from international travel and long hours at the computer, and the cupping add-on was exceptional. Owen is a true master of his craft. I also have to give a special shout-out to the front desk team. Whether communicating by email, over the phone, or in person, everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Their customer service is every bit as exceptional as the treatments themselves. From the tranquil setting and outstanding care to the convenient location and stress-free parking, every detail of the experience feels thoughtfully designed. I can't recommend Kanna Spa highly enough. I already can't wait for my next visit!

From start to finish, everyone we spoke to and received spa services from was amazing…read more My sister opted for a spa day before her wedding instead of doing a bachelorette party. Her only request was a hydro facial and deep tissue massage at the same place. I found this spa offered both services and my mom and I decided to take her here. My mom called to schedule the services and I called for more information about facials and recommendations for my eczema and sensitive skin. I found out the day we requested might not have an esthetician available, but Jenny and Tiffany texted us and really helped try to find a good time and day that would work. They figured out how to schedule both sets of services so they would work with just one esthetician and made it feel very smooth. I ended up getting the City Life facial with Kim plus the lymphatic drainage add on. She was wonderful!! From start to finish, I knew I was in great care. I also got a deep tissue massage with Sammy and she was just as wonderful. I left feeling incredibly relaxed and I know my sister did too. She said she fell asleep during her massage ‍ Thank you for all your help and care!

His style may not be for everyone, but if you want a whole body approach and longer term results, go to Garion! After the sessions, I always feel like a new person. -He fixed my husband's chronic neck pain that he's had for over a decade in just the 1st session!! -Garion is very knowledgeable about all the connections throughout the body. He'll diagnose the sources of your pain and will work along the path. Just cause you have pain in your shoulder doesn't mean you only just deep massage the shoulder, everything is connected so he'll also work on the other parts that lead to problems in the pain area. I was postpartum so he'd ask questions to understand how I held my baby so that he could identify which muscles I was straining -The sessions are not ones where you just relax and fall asleep, you'll work with him by breathing to shift the muscles around for him to access. -Some comments didn't like his light touch but I actually found that the massages where he did very light touch were very effective. I felt a difference and I was amazed. But there were also many sessions that were deep pressure too. It just depends on what your body needs Also, shoutout to the front desk staff who were always very friendly and helpful

New Ownership and Management…read more I have had the opportunity to visit Aroma Spa three times since the transition to new ownership last summer. Each visit has been a very pleasant occasion, and I will return as a regular customer. I have lower back issues that have been a problem for years, and my preference is for deep muscle work to relieve tightness. Remarkably, the massage therapist was able to trigger-point my tension areas and relieve pressure in my hips, mid-back and lower back. I also enjoy back walking to delve deeper and really target the problem spots. The session was blended with firm pressure as well as a very relaxing, Swedish-style stress relief finish. I enjoy the environment because it is quiet and has a pleasant and inviting scent. The new team is warm, friendly, and very customer-focused. I appreciate good craftsmanship and the hard work that is required to be a good masseuse. As such, my gratuities are generous, and there are never any issues. Aroma, under new management, is now a completely different experience, which I encourage you to visit soon.
