Lovely new little haven in Santa Monica created by experienced and well respected acupuncturist Jessica Cen LAc., DAOM
Sonj H.

I recently followed one of my favorite acupuncturists to her own new practice. Jessica Chen, formerly with The Tao of Wellness ( I believe she practiced there for 12 years), is an outstanding acupuncturist. She has been treating me for several months at the Tao. I always loved her positive energy and warmth and was sad to see her go from The Tao. One day, my schedule worked out perfectly to see her so I decided to check out her new digs. She is located in a prime, easily accessed spot - directly across the street from The Fairmont and caddy corner to the 3rd St Promenade in the red brick building. Her office is light and airy, an oasis from the hustle and bustle. You can pretty much walk there from any point in the area, and then shop or have lunch afterwards. Most importantly, she is just so good! Her practice includes a variety of techniques: acupuncture, herbs, cupping and some massage are the way she has treated me thus far. No matter how frazzled I am when I arrive, I quickly fall into a deep and peaceful sleep with her considerate touch and expertise. I always feel extremely rejuvenated afterwards, and pain free. Dr Chen is an expert. She specializes in fertility issues and has worked alongside physicians and fertility specialists for years. She is also a master at alleviating back pain. Conveniently, her new practice can directly bill insurance too- which takes a lot of stress off the patient. I love how open her new office feels, her practice is expanding and it feels so special to be treated there! If you are curious about acupuncture, she is a great start and if you are familiar and know the good from the bad- definitely call her because she is amazing!! I have seen many acupuncturists and I love her, my back feels awesome today from yesterday's treatment - thank you Dr Chen!

I came here when in the area and discovered them through an Instagram post. I found parking pretty…read moreeasily in the neighborhood across the street. The location was very easy to find, right on San Vicente. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and loved their gorgeous waiting area. After filling out the paperwork, I was escorted by the friendly staff back to the cryo room. I hadn't done cryo in ages, but was given the run down on how it worked. I was able to choose which level I wanted and since I hadn't done it in forever, I opted for the beginner level. I got into the shower like area and at first felt a bit claustrophobic. As soon as the cold gas was released, I freaked out a bit, but the friendly employee walked me through it and had given me music to help pass the time and help it feel more bearable. I also felt cozy wearing the provided robe, socks and gloves. The two minutes actually passed by quicker than I imagine it would and when I finished, I felt a sense of relief and proud of myself for getting through it. I also felt so amazing afterwards. My soreness numbed itself and the adrenaline rush I got gave me all the endorphins I needed to make it through the rest of the evening. Bonus was that I got a cute pair of Alo socks since I had booked it when Alo was doing a promo with them. I highly recommend this lovely place and hope to return soon! It seems like they run deals/specials too!

UPDATE: The way this place handled my situation has been absolutely disgusting. After everything…read morethat happened, the manager never meaningfully followed up with me. I sent approximately 40 emails trying to get answers and communication--even sending follow-ups that were literally just "?" because I couldn't get a response. I was left to chase this business repeatedly after an incident that resulted in a significant reaction to an IV treatment and required medical attention. That alone says a lot about how this place treats customers once something goes wrong. I also felt that I was treated differently because of my race, and the manager's conduct left me with serious concerns about racial discrimination. I found the treatment disrespectful, dismissive, and completely unacceptable. If this is how Pause Studio Brentwood treats a customer after something goes wrong, I would seriously question giving this business your money or trusting them with your care. I have documented the incident, my communications, and my repeated attempts to get a response. No accountability. No meaningful follow-up. Just silence. No apologies. NOTHING.

She made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in, and my second visit was much better than the first. It means a lot when a business takes the time to hear their clients out and make things right. Places that are willing to go the extra mile to make people feel valued are hard to find, and I really appreciate the effort.

The shower was not thoroughly washed from soaps or cleaning material. When i voiced my concern after i finished, i did not get an apology or was asked if i was okay or hurt. I was stared at blankly. No words of "i'll let the cleaning people know" or anything like that. I was very disappointed with the service. When i booked my remaining sessions it was the same girl at the desk when she then started greeting me after my incident. Her name's Lorelei and did not have a great experience with her. Customer service was not up to par. Will not be coming to this location no more where customers dont feel welcomed. Will go to different location where im greeted well and making my visit enjoyable.

Tomoko Spa is located on a very busy street, but you forget all that as soon as you step inside. They do a really great job of creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The experience starts with a 15 min foot soak/massage, and that already was divine. The masseuse puts the perfect amount of pressure, and that combined with the warm water, almost put me to sleep, haha. For the body massage part, the masseuse asks you what parts you want focused on and how much pressure you would like. They are also really good at checking in at various parts of the massage to make sure you are completely satisfied. I really appreciated how thorough they are with the massage and also how proactive they are in making sure you are enjoying the experience. At the end of the massage, we were given hand-whisked matcha tea to drink, and they also provided us jelly, a handwritten note, and a rose to celebrate our anniversary :) We had such a lovely experience, and I cannot recommend this place enough, whether to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself! ** If you book a couple's massage, they provide complimentary parking in the lot next to the spa, otherwise there's paid street parking or parking garages available nearby
