I very much appreciate that kind of healing work. :-) Her massage studio is located in Pacific Grove on 230 Fountain Ave. That's just next door to Monterey and Carmel so it's a good location. The massages are priced very reasonably for the location - $70 an hour an excellent Relaxation Massage or Chair Massage and $90 for a seriously awesome Deep Tissue Massage. She also offers Aromatherapy, Hot Stone Therapy, On-site Massages, and Pre-natal Pregnancy massages!!! You'll probably go ahead and rebook right away and naturally want to leave her a generous tip. Camilla is always continuing her massage education so there may be more to add to this list but the last time we chatted about her specialities, she mentioned Swedish, Shiatsu, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, Sports Massage, Craniosacral, and Cold Stone Massage. If you're looking for a great place to get the best massage, give Camilla a call. Her hours are by appointment only. She will not disappoint. Might see ya there!

There are feelers, and there are healers and Steve of Livewell therapeutic massage is at the…read moreforefront of the healing arts. I can tell instantly when a person puts their hands on me if they have the gift of touch and Steve is the real deal. A beautiful and intimate space with many amazing plants bespeaks of a personal and inviting sanctuary for one to rest and heal. When one entrusts one's body to a healer one must be able to do just that and Steve's gifted technique has been honed over years of applied principles to the point of mastery. He is capable of any level of massage or healing: one only need to specify desired modality and pressure. Massage began with a good epsom salt foot scrub and then progressed to one of the deeper applications of pressure point massages I've ever had in my life, and I've had a few. To use this level of strength and pressure a person really must know what they're doing to effect healing and not injury, and healing is certainly the case here at Livewell massage; one of the finest boutique massage outfits on the planet, sans the boutique pricetag. I was poured a nice cup of some cherry juice at end to hydrate cause man, I was zonked! In a word - Go!

When they asked how long we wanted the massage for, I said one hour because they close at 9 pm, but they said we can do however long we want, it's up to us. We still chose the one hour since we felt bad making them stay longer, but the fact that they were so flexible is great customer service. The actual massage was incredible. The rooms are private, and my boyfriend literally fell asleep. I felt so relaxed after, and they applied the perfect amount of pressure. The prices are also unbeatable. I'd 100% recommend this place to everybody I know!

I've been to Sunflower Massage twice over the past couple of months-and both visits had the same…read moreissue occur in that the posted prices were not honored. Both times I selected the "30 min foot + 30 min body combo" massage listed on the sign for $60. On the first visit, when it was time to pay, I was told I had received a Swedish massage and was charged $70, even though I did not receive a Swedish massage. I returned a second time assuming the first visit was a misunderstanding. Again, I chose the "30 min foot + 30 min body combo" massage for $60, and again at checkout I was told the total was $70, due to a $10 upcharge for "deep pressure." This upcharge was not disclosed in advance. I was only asked if I preferred soft or firmer pressure at the beginning of the massage. I answered "firmer", which is my preference and doesn't result in an upcharge anywhere I go - unless I specifically select a deep tissue massage. The unexpected price change at checkout caused sticker shock, which completely ruined the relaxation of the massage. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but as this happened twice now... I don't feel inclined to go back to try a third time, let alone try anything else on their menu. The second visit also skipped arms, shoulders, and hands, which are normally included in a massage, and there was no foot bath, which is typically standard at a foot reflexology place. While I did appreciate the private room and it seemed clean, it was tiny and I was freezing, despite a space heater being in the room. Clear, upfront pricing is important. When the advertised price changes at payment, especially more than once, it's not a good experience. I generally tip 30% at these establishments and still did so, as I don't know if the overcharge was from the employee, or employer-but I definitely won't be returning and I will look for another place that doesn't try to bait & switch on pricing.

The full-body massage was deeply relaxing and worked out tension I didn't even realize I was holding. The hot oil hair treatment felt like heaven. It was warm, soothing, and left my scalp and hair feeling completely nourished. The Gua Sha was the cherry on top. It was gentle but effective. I could feel it working out the puffiness and tension in my face, and I honestly looked more refreshed walking out than I did walking in. I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and incredibly grounded. If you're looking for a full reset of body, mind, and spirit, this is the one. I can't recommend it enough.

I was gifted a 60 minute Swedish massage Groupon and my husband scheduled my appointment with…read moreRandy. Parking was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon and the small location easy to find. Randy did mention that they are moving locations next week, however. Intake form was standard. Randy reviewed the form and asked a few questions before allowing time to get on the table. Small touches to the amenities were very nice, such as hooks for bags, a bin for glasses and keys, hair ties provided should you have forgotten your own, and peppermint oil on the face cradle. Randy managed to work on my noted problem areas while completing a full body Swedish within the 60 minutes. He was not chatty, but checked in a few times which I appreciate. He has a good sense of pressure and corrected for some bilateral imbalance in tension, which many massage therapists do not do. Towards the end, warm towels were used on my back and legs to remove excess oil, and I was given a cloth after to remove any excess massage oil. After getting dressed Randy debriefed me on aligning my hip and gave some recommendations about switching sides while carrying my son to avoid imbalance. Overall I was very happy with the experience and would return. Massage is not something I often make time for, but the experience was both relaxing and physically therapeutic here. Well worth the time and expense. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The only unfortunate part was that my husband was also given a Groupon and was told he could not use it because they moved locations. He had to have his sister call Groupon to reimburse.

We waited about 15 minutes to be called in and the the man said we will do the combo, so I said okay, perfect! well I should have just done the foot one, literally it felt as if I was rubbing lotion on my legs. Just like that. No pressure, nothing. Just like when you put lotion on. Both my husband and I were disappointed. But it was our first time, so we didn't complain. Will I try again...hmmm usually I give a couple tries, but not this time only because my husband had the same situation. Sorry but won't be returning.
