I received a gc for services and booked a massage. It was amazing! Their unique foot-based techniques to realign my neck and body were perfect. I left feeling energized and pain-free! I usually go somewhere else to get a monthly massage, but my regular therapist was away. The substitute didn't know what she was doing, and I felt misaligned; my neck was jammed for 2 weeks. Thank you! I will be back! read more

Came in this afternoon for a 60 min massage with Thanya...I really enjoyed my time! She took time to ask what areas needed attention, and did a great job sticking to a mostly Swedish massage (my request). The massage was the perfect amount of firmness, while also relaxing me so much that I almost fell asleep! I usually book massages and take the chance on who I get bit in the future I will ask for Thanya :) read more

I had an aroma massage with Grace that truly changed my life. I have never had a massage so incredible and I grew up with a massage therapist as a mother. Go into a massage with Grace with the intention to relax, it takes a strong mind to relax through it, but it is worth it. So clean inside, such sweet workers, and the best massage EVER. read more

Got a 90 min massage. He asked what to focus on I said shoulders and feet. In the entire time I never flipped over and he never touched my feet!? Nothing about this was Thai. It was basically a hot oil maybe Swedish? 0/10. read more

Best service , grace is a healer! I would definitely recommend this place who needs a great massage!

I had a massage with Thanya and she was amazing! I did the aroma massage and she was so good with her pressure and I feel so much better. I highly recommend Thanya! read more

Always a great massage and relaxing time at pure life Thai spa. When I called to schedule, they always have availability typically same day and are very accommodating. read more

I had a lovely experience at my first-ever prenatal massage with Thanya. Most importantly, I felt safe and comfortable. I laid on my side with support pillows, and only laid on my back for 5-10 minutes because I requested a face and scalp massage. The pressure was light, and not once did I feel like my baby or I were at risk. Thanya was incredibly sweet, nurturing, motherly, and warm. I adored her. I would recommend her to others, and hope to be back again before I give birth. My only complaint was that someone upstairs sounded like they were dropping heavy weights, and the sudden loud sound was jarring. But it stopped after a few times, and didn't happen again. Everything else was wonderful! read more

Don't go. Massage started 15 mins late - no big deal. Had to ask if she can use hands instead of only walking on my back. Coughed, sniffled, sneezed the whole time. Poor quality massage and I asked to leave early. read more

Fantastic great Massage. Great price. Will definitely be back to this spot. Good to have a place to go when needed read more

I have been here twice now and both times have been SO great! I think this is one of the best massage places I have been too. The space itself is simple/straightforward, nothing too special, but the massage therapists are what makes Pure Life Thai stand out! The first time, I had a 60min full-body Aroma massage with Thanya. The second time a 30min neck and shoulder massage from Tucky to help my upper back pain. Both were sooo good. The massage therapists really listen to your concerns and provide a customized massage to help relieve pain and tense muscles exactly where you need it. This might seem obvious, but I have been to several other places where no matter what you ask them to focus on, they always give the same standard massage. I have bad upper back pain and I feel so much better after my massage that was really focused on the areas where I needed relief. Prices are fair, everyone is friendly, place is clean, and massage is excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Very relaxing atmosphere. Staff is very polite and attentive. Massage area is warm but small fans are available in case you get too hot. The bed is also kept warm for maximum relaxation. Overall, highly recommend! Very good quality massage for the price :) read more

I used to go to this place regularly for a Thai massage. I haven't been back since Covid. I loved it when I used to go, all the massage therapists were wonderful and the prices were very reasonable, $45 for a one hour massage. I went back after three years, I didn't realize ownership changed, and it seems like the quality of therapists did too! Aya was busy shaming the last person who left a $5 tip on an $80 massage treatment. I don't like when massage therapists do that. She said to the other client " you don't like my message? Everyone does and gives me at least a 20 percent tip". I found it rude!!! Anyway, my massage by Aya was mediocre. She either went too hard or soft, but I left an 18 percent tip anyway since I didn't feel like a confrontation. I won't be going back here! read more

I just had the best massage of MY LIFE!! It was mind blowing. It was a Thai yoga massage. When you have aching muscles, this is the one! I had Grace and requested medium pressure. She checked in with me regularly to check on how I was doing (I may have groaned a few times as she went in on my sore calves) but it was good pain. I'm never going back to a regular swedish or whatever massage again. read more

Whoever answers the phone was rude and short tempered. Not the vibe I was looking for.

I'm sorry to report a bad experience. I will say it was my first and last visit to this Spa. They have so many great reviews so I guess that I expected a more pleasant experience. First, it was a chilly day and they didn't have the bed warmed. They only have a thin sheet to cover you. I was cold the entire 90 min which made it difficult to relax. Additionally, they had a fan blowing, and it did not help at all. Second, the therapist stepped on my wrist joints which hurt tremendously and felt awful. Third, their Alexa disconnected at least a dozen times interrupting the music and the therapist, as she kept stopping to try to fix it. There was a good portion where there was no music at all. I was thoroughly disappointed to say the least. read more

It's a massage, it's stretching...it's amazing! This was my first time to Pure Life Thai Spa & I am hooked. I prefer to feel "worked" after a session & this service definitely worked me! Thanya listened to my concerns & customized my treatment. She asked several times if the pressure was ok & adjusted accordingly. Thank you Thanya! read more

Absolutely amazing. It was my first time here and I felt so comfortable and welcomed. I had been in need of a massage due to stress and my active lifestyle. I had an hour long massage by Thanya who was very accommodating and kind. I will be coming back when I am in town again. I highly recommend Pure Life Thai Spa. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem that I keep coming back to. I had a massage with Grace and it was perfect...she had good communication about pressure, was so attune to areas in my body that needed more attention, and was just very thoughtful. The ambiance was great, and it was warm and very relaxing. read more

Came here for a massage with my fiancé for an Thai massage. Unfortunately, what I received was not that. There was some traditional Thai stretching but nothing like I had before. Was more or less, waiting for massage to start the whole time. Super bummer. Room was also too cramped for 2 people. read more

Pure Life Thai Spa - Massage Near Me - Cardiff-Encinitas, California

5-stars for Pure Life Thai Spa! I came in for my first Revitapen appointment and was not disappointed. The spa is exceptionally clean and they adhere to COVID guidelines. Nan was so friendly! She did an amazing job with my facial and I was so relaxed through the entire experience. Her prices are affordable and I will definitely be back! read more

Tahnya is the best there! I go here at least once a month! I love everyone here! Best massage in cardiff

Excellent!! I've been going here for years. The ambiance is relaxing and calming. Very clean and professional. The massage therapists are the best! read more

This was hands down one of the best massages I've ever had. Nan was amazing. Don't expect a light pressure massage... it's deep tissue, finding every point of tension in your back but incorporating stretches/movements to loosen the muscles! Will be a regular here from now on! read more

This was hands down the best massage experience I've ever had. The studio smelled amazing and the ladies all greeted me kindly and gave me snacks and water and offered tea too! Aya was my masseuse and she has the touch of an Angel. She was very attentive and I loved that she asked what type of pressure I wanted and what areas I wanted to focus on. During the massage her pressure was consistent, as I asked for medium pressure, and she checked in multiple times to make sure I was doing okay and if I wanted more or less pressure. I got the aroma massage and milk foot bath. The foot bath was so pleasant and definitely warmed me up for the massage as it was windy and chilly outside so I was coming in cold. The essential oils used for my massage were refreshing too! I loved that I left feeling stretched and relaxed and not tense and sore like I usually leave other places. I will definitely be back soon and recommend you try Pure Life Thai Spa! My experience was 10/10! read more

I have been a client here for more than 2 years, coming monthly. These are the best massages I've ever had. I've recently seen Thanya. Thanya is very good. She takes time to discuss injuries and she really works on your problem areas! I feel so good after her treatments. Grace and Tucky are also so great. I've never had a bad massage there. My boyfriend also endorses that these are the best massages he's ever had as well! Check them out! Great location close to the beach too! read more

Great place and reasonably priced. When I lived nearby I would come here once every other week.

Wonderfully relaxing and everything that I needed. I can't wait to go back! If you've never had a Thai massage before, then definitely check this place out. I'm sad that I didn't take advantage of this amazing place more when I lived around the corner. Also - great touch by offering a hot tea on my way out. Made me feel 100% zen and ready to snuggle up at home. read more

I had the best massage here ever. I couldnt recommend it enough. I cannot wait to come back. Thanya was my masseuse

Had a massage done by BeBe and she was great! I asked for a deep tissue and she didn't do it lightly like some other places. I felt soooo relaxed by the end of it. Coming back and asking for her massage on my scalp next time! read more

I've had a lot of massages in my life, but Thanya gave me the best massage I've ever had! I (barely) walked in with horrible sciatica pain on both sides of my body, but Thanya knew exactly what to do to relieve my pain. She's very strong, knew all the pressure points to hit, applied a lot of pressure where she needed to, but always checked in with me to be sure the pressure she was applying was not too painful. She applied both Thai and deep tissue massage techniques, and the combination of the two techniques did the trick! I walked out thinking to myself, in a really good way, "What just happened to me in there? That's the best massage I've ever had. I've never felt better after a massage than I do now". If you're looking for stretching and deep tissue work with someone that knows what they're doing, is friendly, and is focused on relieving your pain and giving you a great massage, you won't go wrong with Thanya! read more

Very relaxing and reasonable prices. The Thai massage has a western twist - a portion of it includes oil and is more Swedish massage than Thai but that was great! I liked having a little bit of both. Will come back. read more

Such a lovely respite in town. Staff is so careful to keep everything and everyone clean and safe. My masseuse was so kind, polite, delicate and string at the same time. She walked on my back, stretched every angle of my limbs and torso, worked with oil on my back, and the whole time it was relaxing yet rigorous. The music and scents were beautiful. I chose the 90 minute Thai massage and I can't wait to go back! read more

A truly wonderful massage experience! I arrived in Encinitas late last night, and after a full day of office work and airline fun was very much wishing for massage and movement to get rid of the knots and stresses of my travel day. I especially was hoping to find Thai yoga massage in the area, and was absolutely delighted to discover Pure Life was not only well rated but also happened to be less than half a mile from my abode! Their online reservation system made it very easy for me to book a massage for the next day. The spa was peaceful and quiet, and I was greeted efficiently and shown to my massage room. My therapist was very skilled, and I was 100% pleased with my two hour Thai aroma massage. If you haven't tried Thai massage before you are in for a treat! I will be returning to Pure Life on my next trip to Encinitas. read more

I frequently get a massage at Pure life and it's mostly been a relaxing experience . They recently raised their prices, on a hour and a half massage I was paying $79. It is now $95, with no information given to me about the price change until after the service. Their website also still had the old pricing. Besides that I paid a lot more for the most recent massage, the girl didn't even do the aroma massage that I was expecting based on experience at Pure Life. It was actually pretty terrible. I feel they should have honored the old pricing that appointment and let me know next time it would be more. I also referred three people there telling them how great it was and that the price was $79. They had to pay $95 and I felt terrible referring them not knowing that information. read more

The healing hands of Nan Crowder and Jana provided my nephew and I a wonderful bodywork session. I've had hundreds of Thai massages and the massage therapists at Pure Life are among the best. Trained in traditional Thai massage the therapists focus on trigger points and releasing tension, leaving us feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed. This place is a little treasure in Cardiff by the Sea, highly recommend. read more

Thanya. Get her as your masseuse. I came in with my neck so tight I couldn't move. I slept wrong and had been under a large amount of stress. I couldn't even bend my neck. I came in at 7pm hoping to get someone to help relieve some pain. Tanya greeted me and could see I could hardly move. I am super grateful for her. She worked the knots out and slowly helped regain movement in my neck. She stayed an hour later and worked on me for almost 2 hours using hot stones, heat compression, stretching, you name it. I just can't say enough how much attention and care she took with me. Not only did I have the best massage I have ever had - and I have had a ton - she took away the pain and regained my motion. I slept like a baby. I drank a ton of water before bed and again when I woke because I knew I had lots of toxins to flush after all the extensive work she did. Two days later and I feel fantastic. Im going again tomorrow so she can work on me again. I jus can't describe in words how good I felt after and how the pain just went away. Thank you Tanya. read more

I go to Pure once a week to get the 60 minute Thai Yoga Massage and it does wonders for me! Thanya is amazing! I work on my feet a lot and often have back and sciatica pain. Thanya really knows how to work on these areas and her technique is the best that I've found. Everyone at Pure is welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this little gem in Cardiff! read more

$49 dollars for a 1 hour Thai Massage! Seriously!!! That price is so cheap compared to other places in the area! Massage was awesome. This is a legit Thai Massage place, not a makeshift one - they have railings for the masseuse to hang on to when shes getting into things. Awesome. read more

This place is great! I called on Friday for a sort of last minute appointment and luckily they had availability for my husband and I. Sweet! Sometimes you just need a massage and its hard to get a same day appointment. We both went for the Aroma Massage which is a combination thai/swedish massage. We've gotten lots of Thai massages before but wanted firm pressure as well as relaxation. The staff is very sweet and welcoming. I like that the room is warm and I wasn't cold. ( I can't stand being cold during a massage) The massage was great. My husband's masseuse really worked on his knots and mine was also great. I like that they don't crack your fingers and toes. . .I always cringe when they do that. I will definitely be back. The price is right and it's right in my neighborhood. yay! UPDATE: 2nd Visit I went for the second time and it was not as good as the first time. They ended the massage about 8 minutes short. I looked up at the clock at it was exactly 8PM but the massage started after 7PM, 7:08 to be exact. Odd since I came on time but had to wait a few minutes because the room wasn't ready so it wasn't my fault that the massage started late. I don't like it when the response from the business on yelp is to lie about the customers experience. I went by the clock that was in the room! I'm not planning to go back because they obviously don't take responsibility for their actions and are not an honest business. Although they asked what I wanted to focus on, they just went and did the same routine. They didn't really focus on the specific areas that I asked. I understand that it was late and I'm sure the therapist is tired from working all day so I give them a little leeway. I would warn you that you might get a nasty gram "complement" by some anonymous user on yelp if you leave a poor review. Then again, you might not. . . you never know. read more
