I had an excellent experience at StressBusters. Dayna was my massage therapist and I had a full body prenatal pregnancy massage with the foot massage/scrub. I had this massage at 30 weeks pregnant and everything about the massage was amazing. I felt extremely relaxed and I was so comfortable for the entire treatment. I would definitely recommend this business! read more

Highly recommend Epicuren Facials with Nicole! My face started breaking out end of January. Finally made the time to go in yesterday. My face looks and feels extremely better, glowing and supple! I'm extremely happy with the transformation! Nicole is amazing and very knowledgeable. If I could I would get this facial done every month! Thankful for Nicole, excellent service, and organic products! read more

I love Stressbusters. Everyone is kind and they do great messages. I play a lot of sports and my muscles get sore so it helps to have them loosened up once a month. It's also very relaxing. Thank you read more

I cannot in honesty recommend this place. It's not even a place, they rent space from another company that really wants nothing to do with their customers. It was so awkward. And their business model is something I don't appreciate. They wanted a credit card on file to book. Why? I had gift cards that say "same as cash" on them but they only want to honor $50 dollars explaining they have to pay a portion to the card company, but I pointed out that is none of my business it's between you and that marketing company! So they tried to get me to pay but after arguing how it's not right, they honored it in the end which I greatly appreciated. The lengthy conversations on the phone and the whole credit card on file and not honoring same as cash gift cards that did their marketing im afraid is not good customer service in my opinion. The clinician though was awesome could not have been better! They do upsell though, so beware! I ended up getting an additional service as well as product which I was not planning on. If people have a budget, they book for that budget, I think upselling is not right either especially as a new client. In reviewing they claim to be in business multiple years, but this business model is just very awkward. I think they should get their own place not rent space, be legitimate, it felt shady all around, they should allow customers to book what they want online and use gift cards appropriately towards any service or product. Like going to an established restaurant, make a reservation, go, order, and pay. A good business model. I won't be going back, sorry to say. read more

Absolutely incredible! I've been having a less than fun pregnancy and really struggled with nerve pain - Hoag referred me here and I only wish I had found it sooner! Every masseuse from Kaitlyn to Mikki to Dayna has been lovely and so good at what they do, but I want to give a special shout out to Mikki, who truly has the most nurturing, caring, and healing touch. She's so wonderful and gifted and I will absolutely be coming back for postpartum and beyond. Their customer service is also lovely; my first massage I booked had to be rescheduled do to illness, and Michael went above and beyond to work with my challenging schedule and get me in within just a few days. They are very responsive and accommodating; thank you for being the best and most nurturing part of my pregnancy journey! read more

If I were rich, I'd schedule a massage here every day. So relaxing that I fell asleep during my session with hot stones. Blissful music sets the mood paired with a heated massage table/bed. If you have long hair, best to put it up. StressBusters is booked about a week in advance. They are very polite. Remember that you should say something if the massage therapist needs to adjust pressure. For years at other places, I just endured the pain, only to regret going and left wondering how anyone could possibly feel at ease. Currently they occupy a room at a holistic doctor's multi room office. Happy to know they have a new 2nd location in Mission Viejo. read more

I had my weekly massage last night and, as always, had a sweet, restful night's sleep. Now that the cool weather is here, Mikki has added the hot stones to my massage experience. She always devotes a few moments to ask how I am and what areas may need attention. My neck & lower back always need extra help! She is unwavering in her care for me. read more

I want to give a 5 star review for Nikki's customer service. She massaged my wife which she said was good. It really depends on people's preference which massage therapist you like, but it sounds like Nikki is very attentive which is much appreciated. My personal favorite massage therapist works at a different place, but I don't go there, because their customer service is so terrible. I wish they had customer service more like here. read more

I been going to StressBusters for over 5 years now, Mikki has always been the best. I really appreciate the open communication we have and she always knows just how to work on my neck the way I like it. I have been to a lot of other places in the past and no one compares. I live far but It's worth the drive every time. I highly recommended Stressbusters! read more

I loved being able to get a few massages in the later stages of my pregnancy. I was super comfortable the whole time with how they have the table set up and it felt very easy to talk to them about the specifics of my physical discomfort and pregnancy symptoms. read more

I've only had 1 prenatal massage before at a different place and it was so mid and didn't really address any issues. StressBusters was absolutely phenomenal. Mikki took her time asking me about myself and my concerns then addressed them thoroughly in the massage and then some. She truly knows what she's doing and she relieved tension in places I didn't realize needed it. She even ended the massage relieving tension in my jaw. Her technique is very clearly one based on a lot of knowledge. Not only was it an amazing and much needed prenatal massage, but Mikki seemed like she's truly passionate about her job and helping expecting moms. You can tell she loves what she does - This place is definitely one of those places that cares more about providing a service that fixes your problem than they do about profit. read more

I would highly recommend this place if you are pregnant and looking for some muscle/pain/tension relief. First I did a facial with Amandine, she was really lovely and used all pregnancy safe products with me. I even ended up buying the facial scrub she used because it was such a nice experience. She was wonderful so I'd absolutely recommend booking a facial with her. I also went to Katlyn at least 4 or 5 times during my pregnancy and oh my goodness am I glad I did. The pain I got with the pregnancy was awful compared to my first and she was able to focus on my tense and painful areas and bring some relief. She's an absolute pleasure to talk to and incredibly knowledgeable. I asked her about her focuses and she said she mainly works on pregnant clients and sport injuries and you can tell she has a passion for making people feel comfortable. I have never felt better leaving a massage than I have when I've left after seeing Katlyn. Highly highly recommend this place! read more

I was referred to this place by a good friend who got prenatal massages throughout her pregnancy, and I can confidently say this was the best massage and service I've ever received! Mickey, the owner, is so educated and passionate about what they do. I went in for my first prenatal massage with lower back and hip pain. I couldn't believe it when I left PAIN FREE! Mickey has been specializing in prenatal massages and partnering with local hospitals for decades. I'm so excited to continue my massage journey here - even after birth! Thank you Mickey, you are a true miracle worker! read more

I find it really strange that you all have a remote person taking payments and making appointments. I don't feel comfortable giving all my credit information to someone working from a home location for this. Edit: Since Yelp won't let me respond. For a business to not apologize and leave a finger pointing response makes me happy I didn't give youy money. I also didn't mention that your employee when I initially called was rude and made me feel that I bothered him for calling Saying his computer was turned off and he had to go turn it back on etc. your hours state you are open until 7 pm I called around 445 pm. I would have called back. I'm also actually easily content but thank you for reviewing my page. I was giving you feedback. As a customer it didn't feel safe to be asked to send a picture of my credit card to a random phone number. That isn't secure nor did it make me feel confident in your business. All I gave you was feedback and you felt it necessary to blame me? It doesn't matter if I had a massage or not I'm sure they are great! The problem is ... You not did your associate care to make me feel more comfortable and that speaks volumes to me on how you would have treated me. Edit : NOW IM BEING CALLED A LIAR.!! When in fact he stated hold on I have to turn my computer on I was just leaving. I said oh no worries I can call back tomorrow! Of course you would take your supposed executives side. All you had to do was apologize and I would have removed my rating. I'm sure you will report it to Yelp I don't care. But I'm just glad I didn't give you my money with how defensive you are being. read more

Amazing place for prenatal massages! So relaxing and I feel confident that they know how to work with pregnant women. Highly recommend if you're looking for some relief read more

I am saddened about the change in Stressbusters over the years. I went for the first time a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to go as often due to having small children in my life now, but I wanted to have a prenatal massage for my birthday since I'm now expecting #3. I have been going to Stressbusters since my first pregnancy and have been a long-time fan. However, my last experience left something to be desired. I went into their new location about 25 minutes early, expecting to experience their tranquility room and relax and have a water or tea to wind-down before my massage. Their new facility is shared with some kind of wellness provider so I was greeted by a receptionist and told to just wait in their lobby. I was not offered a beverage or to use the restroom prior to my treatment. When treatment time came around, it was a good massage. Not the best, but not terrible. I used to love the tables at Stressbusters as they would always ensure the temperature was to your liking and have warmers if needed. I was so cold in the room and my therapists hands were also freezing cold. Table temperature was not adjusted and I was not asked about it. When I flipped over, I finally asked for a blanket because I was miserable over how cold it was in the room. The payment situation at the end was also strange. I had to call The Stressbusters number to authorize my payment and add my 20% gratuity. I asked for a copy to be emailed to me and it was never sent to me. The massage prices are the same even though the experience definitely wasn't. For the value, I don't think I'll be returning which is so sad because as you can see from my previous review, I really loved going there! read more

I've been seeing Mikki, the owner, for 4 years and have absolutely loved it! I started with prenatal massage, but what she is able to do for muscle recovery and overall wellness was so amazing I continued to receive regular massages postpartum and beyond. I've also done a facial at the salon and it was relaxing and a very cozy environment. Thanks for being part of my self-care routine Mikki & staff! read more

I want to know why Michael the manager was harassing my mother over a certificate copy I had purchased for her as a Mother's Day gift. She even drove back at night just to return something she DID NOT need to. Speaking to Michael and seeing how nonchalantly he has taken the whole situation has made me furious. This is UNACCEPTABLE. She came to you for stress relief and instead was extremely disrespected. I also do not appreciate you threatening to run her card for the service if she did not return the certificate EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE ONE THAT PURCHASED THE SERVICE ONLINE! completely unacceptable read more

This Mother's Day I wanted to schedule an in-home massage as my gift. I just had a baby three weeks ago and didn't want to leave the house but knew that a good massage would be so healing. I ended up booking with Mikki. She has over 20 years of experience and prenatal and postnatal massage and I was so impressed with her knowledge and techniques. This was one of the best massages that I've ever gotten. It was extremely relaxing and was worth every penny. I can't wait to schedule another massage soon. I've gotten many massages in the past and I can be pretty picky when it comes to the masseuse, but she was phenomenal. Highly recommend. read more

I had a prenatal massage with Jodi and it was great! I've had others in the past at fancy spas that didn't compare. She individualizes the session for your body, and it is much more affordable. read more

My partner and I moved in South Orange County while I was pregnant of our first son and I was desperately looking for a pre-natal massage therapist. I have been so fortunate to have been recommended Mikki as the top (not only pre-natal massage therapist in California) but as a teacher of the practice to other therapists. Since then, I had the chance to benefit from her home deep-tissue massages almost every weekend. Being a tech entrepreneur, it was (and still is) very crucial to stay strong physically and mentally every single day no matter what is happening in personal life. Mikki has been a huge contributor to the fact that I have been able to remain highly productive during the pregnancy and postpartum. In addition to her massages, she has created customized inhalers made from essential oils for my partner and I (that are either intended to relax or energize). We have used them before, during and after the delivery of our son. Mikki has been also giving me a massage two days before delivery and right away back home from birth centre. The delivery went very smoothly without any complications. Being new in the neighborhood, Mikki has been a huge help in multiple ways, including through her numerous introductions. Most importantly, we found our fantastic OB through her. We are so grateful to know Mikki and we consider her part of our family. She even provided us with a massage training for our newborn, which has a very positive impact on his sleep, digestion and calmness. I would personally recommend Mikki to anyone who considers self-care a top priority! read more

Mikki is a miracle worker! If you are pregnant you need to go see her. The massages are not like regular massages at all, they are actually therapeutic and HEAL you. I am pregnant with #3 and have bad round ligament and sciatic and everytime I see her my pain gets progressively better. I am so glad I found her and wish I had sooner. read more

This is a review of their induction massage for pregnant women - I had to leave a review to report back that the induction massage worked for me!!! My baby was due on March 3, but on March 5 I was very much still pregnant and looking to get things moving. I had scheduled the induction massage for March 5 in the afternoon and was cautiously optimistic that it might just work. I had the massage and it was a nice experience, with the masseuse focusing on several pressure points in various parts of the body. The masseuse said that the induction effect would likely kick in within 24 hours after the massage. Well I woke up on March 6 to have my water break at around 6 am! We went to the hospital, and long story short, our beautiful baby boy was born at 9:55 pm on March 6! If you are pregnant and have an overdue baby, I'd recommend an induction massage at StressBusters!!! read more

I've had prenatal massages before but this was something else. Jodie was amazing! I already booked another appointment with her and a labor Induction massage (just in case I don't go into labor by my due date) with her too! I'm 35 weeks and I am super tight in my neck and my hips are pretty tight too. She definitely got me practicing my labor breathing when she was getting those knots out and loosening up my hips! Honestly I love a firm massage and I know they can't be firm on the legs, but I felt soooo weightless when she was massaging my legs and feet. Felt great. Just a FYI this isn't a fancy spa where you can lounge all day and drink cucumber water. This is where you come to get a great massage at a great price and feel released after. Highly recommend this place for a prenatal massage. Wish I came sooner in my pregnancy! read more

Nice ambiance inside the "spa" for a hole in the wall location, clean tiny lobby and change area. Had treats and tea for guests. Great for prenatal massage and facial. Don't really care for the male manager/owner in front, he's not very friendly or welcoming at all. Was 20mins late for my massage due to pouring rain plus am in my 6month of pregnancy, but I was charged the whole one hour amount! I mean he could've worked with me since I got a massage, a facial and my husband even got a massage (which he was on time for...but his massage totally sucked for him...mine was great), but guy straight up said "no, u have to pay whole amt" in a tone I just didnt appreciate...n for that reason I will not be going back again! read more

I've been coming here since my 2nd trimester and have had Jodi, Dana, and Katlyn. Katlyn is my favorite massage therapist EVER, and I've had a lot of massages at different places over the years. She is really precise and I love when she focuses on my pressure points around my hips. She has been a huge help in my recovery from c section. Jodi was great as well during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters. She relieved a lot of my discomfort from pregnancy. Highly recommend if you are pregnant or postpartum. They are really knowledgeable and skilled. read more

4.5 Stars. I came 15 minutes early and spent some time in the relaxation room. As soon as I walked back I was taken back by the calming design. Way better than most places around. Only reason for 4 stars is because it's not the Montage. I wish there were some healthy snacks and tea. Though the Reese's are tasty. Massage itself was fantastic. 5 stars all the way. I had Sarah do my treatment. read more

NOTE: This was my first pregnancy massage, but not my first massage. I was 33 weeks along and I got a 55-min massage PROS: great service, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, clean rooms and bathroom CONS: The only thing I would say is that maybe some of the lotions/oils smell too oily. Even though they are meant to have a soothing scent, I didn't feel that as much. Entering the spa, I was taken back immediately to get ready for my massage. I had paperwork to do, but the lady in the front desk said, you can complete it when done (thanks for letting me get right to what I came for!) I loved the massage I got, and I loved my masseuse. Kathy was kind, welcoming, and had a smile on her face ready to make me feel comfortable and relaxed - the way all moms should be able to feel every once in a while :) She asked me if there were particular spots where she needed to do more work, and also to let her know whenever I wanted more time there or change of pressure. I told her only my back, shoulder and calves were aching and giving cramps. But the BEST thing that happened for me was that she recognized and told me about a spot on my glute that was actually a big bother for me (a pinching nerve) for 8 months, but I completely forgot to mention it to her. She FOUND it and she FIXED the pain. I don't feel the pain anymore, which is common among pregnant women apparently, and she said that if I feel it again, to come back and treat it. The fact that she found it without me even mentioning it told me that she knew what she was doing and she knew where I could use relief given that I am a pregnant woman. For this reason I would definitely go back again to StressBusters with Kathy! Overall, the massage was great and concentrated on the most stressed areas read more

Remember this name: Amandine Cartier. BEST Esthetician EVER! I went in for my favorite facial, "Epicuren" and although Amandine had been at Stressbusters a very long time, I was shocked that I never had her before. She is an artist when it comes to an outstanding facial, relaxation and massaging. I was as mellow as jello when the facial was completed. I just recommended her to a friend yesterday. You will NOT be disappointed. Amandine Cartier is THE BEST! read more

I have been here 2 times. Once for post natal massage, and facial. Another facial yesterday. I love this little tucked away place. It has a wonderful staff, product, and services. Hands down the best facial ever. Amendine has been working here for years. I happen to have her both times. She is highly skilled at what she does. She is very soothing, great head, neck, facial massage, very thorough. Gives a menu of extra services, and does not try to sell it. Uses products during facial, and suggests the one(s) that she believes would benefit you. They have top notch organic products, and Epicuren options (which is my favorite). I wish I could come here every week. It is very nice, and private feeling. read more

Got a prenatal massage here. Didn't realize they rent a small from a separate facility so it was odd to sit in the waiting room with clients for a different practice. The massage itself was good but not great. I think she was afraid to do more pressure since I was pregnant and didn't want to make it awkward by asking again and again for more pressure. Once the appt is done you have to call someone offsite to pay. read more

This was my first time at stressbusters but my 3rd prenatal massage, and by far the best one I've had. The staff is incredibly well trained, super nice, and the massage chairs are super comfortable. Did the 85 min prenatal massage and 60 min prenatal facial. Teresa was my massage therapist. She is incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet, and helped release all the tension from my body that comes with pregnancy. Facial was super gentle and relaxing. I liked my facial, but loved my prenatal massage. read more

Finally found a place close to home- come here at least once a month- great staff. Though nothing fancy it is clean and can always count on my masseuse to make my muscles melt. read more

Hands down best massage I have had in years, maybe even ever. I'm 9 months pregnant, Jodi was my masseuse and she knew every knot without me even telling her and focused on my tense areas. I love that in a masseuse, makes me feel confident in their skills. I feel so much better. Thank you Jodi, I will definitely be back. read more

My mother gave me a gift card for Christmas and I thought I'd get a massage and start the new year relaxed and invigorated. I scheduled a Swedish massage and I was so happy I did. From the moment I walked in, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. The receptionist had me fill out some paperwork so that the massage therapist knew my problem areas and what I wanted to focus on. Lisa (the receptionist) showed me the facilities and made me feel at home. I placed my personal belongings in a lovely little locker, put on a very comfortable robe and sandals, and waited in a relaxing waiting room for my massage therapist, Dana. There is an infrared sauna, a lovely bathroom with a shower, a few rooms for various services, a very relaxing waiting area with a refreshment table where they had hot tea, fruit infused water, and a few snacks. It was very well planned out and I really enjoyed how they had everything. When Dana came to find me, she showed me to the massage room, asked if I wanted the table heated, gave me a few moments to get myself disrobed and comfortable on the table, and then she came back into the room and started. Dana was great at giving me a very relaxing and deep massage. There were definitely a few times that I was nodding off from how relaxing the experience was. When she was finished, she gave me time to put my robe and slippers back on, when I came out of the room she was waiting for me with a glass of lemon water, and showed me back to the waiting room to wake back up. ;) I will definitely be going back for more massages and more services. I look forward to experiencing more there! read more

I told my therapist yesterday, that I would for sure write a review if the induction massage worked. So here I am. I had my induction massage yesterday at 2:30pm. Today I went into labor at 1:00pm and had a beautiful and healthy baby girl at 3:15pm. I would say the induction massage worked. I was 41+3 today. Thanks all! read more

I came here after Christmas to relax. It was amazing, so relaxing. StressBusters is so professional. Gentleman who made my appointment was very polite. Lisa who greeted you when you walk in was very polite informative, very easy to talk to. Amandine was my Esthetician. I had a full body facial and massage. It was the best massage I have had. Amandine is very knowledgeable and gentle. The place is very clean, decorated in a way you can relax. The rock fountain coming from the ceiling is just beautiful. I highly recommend StressBuster. I will be coming back soon. Thank You StressBusster, I found my new spa. Paige Maxwell read more

I got an hour massage here for $85, plus tip was a $100. It was an okay massage, but for the price... I won't be coming back. For that money, I would expect the therapist to be really fantastic. I could have gotten the same massage at one of the Asian places for half that price. Maybe you got a gift card to come here, then I would recommend reading all the reviews and seeing which names of therapists or facialists get a thumbs up from a lot of customers. Other than that, it's a cute little spa tucked in a strip mall. Very clean and cozy feel to it. Nice waiting area with tea and fruit water for you to drink. read more

Hi, does anyone know where Javier went? Or have any recommendations at Stress Busters on a prenatal massage therapist they transitioned over to, and are equally happy with? I went to Javier in 2015 for both my prenatal and postpartum massages. He was incredible and I always recommended all my pregnant friends to Stress Busters. I had tried several prenatal massages previous to trying SB, and never felt they were really worthwhile. Now that I'm pregnant with my 2nd and nearing my third trimester, I'm desperately searching for a new therapist who has similar technique. Appreciate any recommendations! read more

Wonderful! I had Teresa for a 55 minute prenatal massage (at 31 weeks) for my first time at this spa. Teresa was very caring, had firm pressure and was personable. The place is nicely decorated and provided for a relaxing ambiance. You'll want to call well in advance to book an appointment. I was trying to find an appointment in the same week but was only able to find something closer to two weeks out. Good for them for being busy but be sure to plan ahead! read more
