Wonderful experience here. Thank you! Felt taken care of, safe, and in very good hands. Would definitely recommend!

I found this gem of a place off Yelp and am happy to add another 5 star review for this wonderful spa! My mom and I were planning a weekend in Santa Fe and always get a massage when we visit. I called Kerstyn a few days before our visit to see if she could fit my mom and I in for us both having a massage done at the same time. She was able to quicky get another massage therapist (female which I had requested) and called me to let me know that we could get in for an hour massage each. The day of the massage my mom and I arrived and met Kerstyn and Aubry who was the other massage therapist. My mom wanted deep tissue work and I selected traditional. There were two tables set up in the massage room which was fine with my mom and I as we have shared a room for double massages many times. Kerstyn worked on my mom and Aubry worked on me. The massages were WONDERFUL. My mom has had MANY massages in her life and stated that the deep tissue massage she got from Kerstyn was probably the best she ever had. I thought Aubry was wonderful and I fully enjoyed my massage. As I mentioned before, my mom and I have been to Santa Fe before and we have had massages at both Ten Thousand Waves and Bishop's Lodge and we both thought the massages we got with Kerstyn and Aubry were as good if not better than others. This spa doesn't have the hot tubs and spas and other things like some of the higher end places so if you are looking for that kind of experience you may be better off going to one of the larger spas. However, if you want a really good massage at a very reasonable price then I would highly recommend this place. My mom and I would for sure book here again the next time we come to town! read more

Sanctuary Santa Fe - The front of the spa - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

The proof is in the pudding! My skin has never felt or looked better! Kyrsten is a magician when it comes to skincare. Her facials leave you glowing and she is generous with advice on how to improve and maintain your skin health. The products that she carries are effective and reasonable. Am so grateful to have found her. read more

Really lovely and relaxing experience on my visit to Santa Fe. She accommodated my request last minute, was very friendly and informative throughout the entire facial. Beautiful and calming space. My skin looks fantastic and I will be making a point to visit her each trip. read more

This was my first facial since moving to Santa Fe and it was great. Kerstyn knew exactly what my skin needed and I left there glowing. So happy to have found her. read more

Feel the same as the other reviewer who has no idea how this business is rated so high. She talked incessantly, about topics completely unrelated to service. At one point, she asked why my facialist of 25 years in Las Vegas, Nevada didn't move to Santa Fe - ridiculous question. Didn't like her vibe; something very petty about it. She even asked me how old I was. Worst of all, feel taken; little value for the price charged. read more

My girlfriends and I were visiting Santa Fe for a girls trip. We made spa appointments for 6 of us including facials and massages. This place is not very big, only 2 spots. We had to go in groups of two, which was fine. We were greeted with such a warm welcome, and the services were perfect. The facial was one of the best I have ever had. It included lots of masks, steam treatment and a great extraction. My face felt so clean and fresh. The massage was very nice also. Overall, a great day of relaxing and unwiding! Perfect for our girls trip weekend. If you have been to Santa Fe you know parking is a bit of a challenge in the down town, but luckily there are two parking spots for Sanctuary Spa. YEAH! read more

No clue how she gets so many stars. I had a massage. It was just so so and she talked the whole time. I live here and since there are so many choices I will go elsewhere. read more

Best. Facial. Ever. Period. Look, people -- if you want a facial that will leave your face feeling like a perfectly cleaned and ripened peach, this is where you go. Kerstyn, owner of Sanctuary, has made a lovely oasis in this downtown location. Her soothing voice and expert hands knows exactly what to do for your entire body needs, not just your face. While giving me a facial, Kerstyn gave me a shoulder/neck massage and even a brief foot rub. And after massaging my feet (while some wonderful product was doing its magic on my face), she made sure to wash her hands, before moving onto the next step with my face. So, I appreciated that hygiene is also on the forefront of her thought process in providing wonderful service and seriously, the best facials I have ever had. I give Sanctuary Santa Fe my undying love and support and will continue to go here every time I am in Santa Fe. read more

Absolutely a wonderful deep tissue massage experience! The owner is highly intuitive and was able to target and soften each spot in my body causing me pain. She was pleasant and kind and absolutely did not talk incessantly, I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about! Way better deal than the hotel across the street and a wonderful way to end my trip to Santa Fe! read more

Fabulous massage. Really nice spa space. Also very clean. The owner made a special effort to get our massages at the same time. Really great experience. read more

I had a massage and facial with Krysten. Her studio is lovely and private. She uses wonderful products. I was relaxed and glowing when I left. Highly recommend!!! read more

After calling at the last minute (my bad) my friend and I were accommodated quickly by the salons owner. My friend and I each had a wonderful massage. My sore shoulder blade was treated to an impromptu cupping treatment and I left feeling very comfortable. I will definitely stop by again next time I am in Santa Fe!! read more

I've been going to Kerstyn to get facials for years and am always so blown away by how incredible I feel and look when I force myself up off her table. The products are divine, the atmosphere is soothing and she has the most magically healing hands. She always knows just what my skin needs. I leave looking ten years younger and feeling ten times happier. read more

My wife had been wanting a facial and as we are relative newcomers, I looked to Yelp for help. When I read the reviews of Sanctuary Santa Fe, I figured this was the way to go as she had been looking for a peel and/or microderm abrasion. Lots of places in town won't do chemical peels and no one (that I found) also did the microderm. My wife loved it! Kerstyn did a great job and gave her some samples to try and explained her concerns about some of the current moisturizers my wife was using. On top of it all, her prices are quite reasonable. I will be making an appointment for myself shortly! read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Sanctuary Santa Fe! Warm welcome when we arrived and I definitely felt energized by the oxygen treatment. I look forward to going back soon! read more

Kerstyn not only gave me the best facial I have ever had, she helped me with reflexology and advice regarding my upset stomach I've had since arriving. Her tender concern for me was greatly appreciated. Wish I lived here so I could see her regularly. read more

Simply fantastic. The experience is well worth the expense. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to unwind. read more

Sanctuary Santa Fe - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

This place is a little slice of heaven in Santa Fe. Kerstyn the owner is amazing. My sister and I got facials here over Thanksgiving weekend. She had same day appointments available back to back for us. She is very friendly and knowledgable. If you're looking for something peaceful, I would definitely recommend her. I added a microderm to my facial which is great for us women who have congested/large pores. The price was only $115 for a facial with microderm. I'm from Maryland and a microderm by itself usually runs $120-150. My face looked amazing when she was done. If I ever go back to Santa Fe, I will definitely be visiting Kerstyn and Sanctuary. read more

I am in town visiting family, and needed a lip, brow and chin wax and called Sanctuary this morning. Kerstyn got back to me with an appointment this afternoon. She did an amazing job, and I really enjoyed talking to her and finding out more about her. Her spa is very peaceful, relaxing and she offers skin care products that work immediately. I feel so much better afterwards, and I highly recommend her. read more

It was a long week of Biking up and down the Mountains between Taos and Santa Fe... My husband was having quite a lot of hip and Back pain which was getting worse over the last couple of days. We were leaving for the airport when I called Kerstyn looking for a half hour massage for him. Luckily she had a cancellation and he walked right over since we were wandering in the Plaza & on Yelp! She was Wonderful! She took some time and really focused on his pain. I'd like to thank Kerstyn for getting my husband in so quickly, relieving his severe pain and helping get through a long day of travel. read more

A superb massage. Got a 'couples' massage with my spouse, we both absolutely loved the session. The environment is relaxing but not stuffy. Location is just a bit off the plaza. Extremely good value for the service. Massage was Swedish style with plenty of deep tissue work, very fast paced, I'd call it 'Super Swedish' if I had to put a label on it. Neck/shoulder work was supreme! I've had at least 100 massages, and this was one of the top I have ever received. I will definitely come back next time I am nearby Santa Fe. read more

I visited Santa Fe for a long weekend and was fortunate enough to book a facial and massage with Kerstyn. Both the massage and facial were easily the best I have EVER had. Nobody comes close. And Kerstyn is just delightful. A very memorable 90 minutes that I am still thinking about days later. I live on the east coast and am looking forward to a return visit so I can book another massage and facial with Kerstyn. read more

I have recently relocated to Santa Fe and decided to visit Kerstyn after reading so many wonderful reviews. I was living in Phoenix for the last 4 years; the climate change and colder weather have been reeking havoc on my skin. Kerstyn's facial did not disappoint!!! I feel like she took the time to provide my skin with lots of TLC, it had a lot going wrong, and gave me great recommendations on how to maintain it here in a new climate. She also recommended make-up to help me be more natural (ingredient wise and the amount I wear). I can't wait until my next appointment! read more

I was recently on holidays in Santa Fe from Australia and needed a massage as sore from travels. We had just driven Route 66 from Chicago and hours of sitting in the car had made my back ache. I stumbled across her Yelp account and couldn't have been happier with the results. Kerstyn was amazing!! She's a kind, warm and welcoming person who made me feel so much better and completely relaxed. Only wish I had more time in Santa Fe to try one of her facials. read more

Sanctuary Santa Fe is the best! Kerstyn has magic hands that transmit her peaceful, caring and kind spirit. She tunes into your needs and provides an amazing treatment every time. She is also well informed, has an holistic approach and shares her expertise if you have questions. Her place has a warm and inviting atmosphere, is meticulously clean and smells so good....you feel transported into another world. Kerstyn has spoiled me and raised the bar high. Qualifying as a massage junkie and traveling a lot I note every time that no-one anywhere has come close to her quality of service. I highly recommend her. read more

Fantastic massage and facial. I left feeling good and I continue to feel good, a month later. Kerstyn's massage helped ease the pain in my lower back, and she showed me a stretch to keep it from getting so painful. I was visiting from out of town, so I wouldn't be able to be a repeat customer. She knew that, but she still gave me a solid deep tissue massage. That, combined with her good nature (easy to talk to), help explain why she's the best. read more

Allow me to add another 5 star review for Ms. Porsch - she is "fantastique" !! I received a very thorough facial today along with a great shoulder and neck massage and even a little hand massage all for $120. The products are very natural including aloe vera, and they smell great. I can't wait to see her again as she is such a pleasure to be with plus we had such an interesting conversation ! read more

I have seen Kerstyn several times over the past few months and I am so happy to have found her. It is a great experience every time I visit. She is very good at what she does and I always leave floating out of her beautiful little spa. read more

1 word; AMAZING. I was traveling from out of town and based on other glowing Yelp reviews, decided to give Sanctuary / Kerstyn a try. I stopped in and she was with a client, but said she could fit me in in about an hour - I came back and told her I couldn't decide between a facial and a massage; she said should would customize something for me to incorporate both. In addition to being extremely knowledgable, Kerstyn gave me some very helpful tips on maintaining my skin based on my current regimen and even offered some tips on posture when sitting in front of a computer most days. Both the massage and the facial were awesome; probably the best I've ever had - if I make it back to Santa Fe, you can be sure I will be making another appointment to visit Sanctuary. read more

Recently visited Sanctuary Santa Fe and it was an incredible experience. Kerstyn's studio was very warm and inviting. One of the best facials I've ever had. She was very knowledgeable and created a very soothing environment. All my stress melted away and I was very happy with the results. She was kind enough to recommend some natural products and even provided samples for me to try out. I am already seeing a vast improvement with my skin and will be returning very soon! read more

I've been going to Kerstyn for many years for facials and massage, she is very nurturing & skilled. The quality of her work is outstanding and she always has great skincare recommendations to help combat our harsh High altitude climate. We are so lucky to have her in SF! She is a rare treat no matter where you're from! read more

This is the very very best of any spa experience I've had in my entire life! My daughter and I were celebrating our bdays in Sante Fe for the weekend and selected based upon other reviews. My daughter had a anti-acne procedure and loved it. I opted for a extensive 80 minute facial that included many steps to make my skin amazing - and the special for the month also gave me a 10-minute foot massage at no additional cost which was AMAZING! The thing that setw Kerstyn apart is her knowledge of skin and products - when I left there, I left knowing more about how to care for my skin better and educated about processes/products that will keep me looking good longer. This was truly a fabulous experience and I felt the services I received was worth the price that I paid. Highly recommend!! read more

Perhaps one of the rudest phone calls I have experienced recently. I called Sanctuary hoping to book a facial because I saw that Sanctuary had such good online reviews. After asking about services, the woman on the other end berated me for calling, telling me that I should have looked at the website. She told me that I was "picking her brain for information," and that she "doesn't like it." I'm certainly glad some reviewers haven't had this experience, but I would recommend looking elsewhere for a service with the bare minimum amount of politeness. read more
