I was visiting from out of town and needed a massage after a long plane ride, so I called to make an appointment and spoke with Lily. When I arrived, Tina was my massage therapist, and she did a fabulous job. I have severe lower back and neck pain from old injuries, so I requested medium pressure. Tina was spot on--I would describe the pressure as medium to strong, exactly what I needed. She also discovered a significant amount of tension at the base of my skull and applied firm pressure to both sides. That was an area I had never really considered, but it turned out to be a major source of radiating pain and headaches for me. Tina's technique was excellent, and her tempo and attention to pressure were just right. The facility was clean, peaceful, and quiet, with soft, soothing music playing in the background. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Garden Wellness Massage, especially if you're looking for a skilled therapist who really pays attention to where your body is holding tension. read more

I'm a younger millennial, which means that while I'm not that old yet, I do occasionally make noises when I sit down or get up. I'm not walking with a walker yet, but my body's become rather tense because of some physical hobbies I took up this year. So why not get a massage? Luckily, Gardens Wellness Spa has a "Sports Massage" which combines different types with massages with stretches for the arms, chest, and legs. It was nice that I was able to get an appointment so quickly when I went to the website. It took less than an hour from booking the appointment to being on the table. Parking was ample, and the front staff was pleasant and welcoming. I was escorted to a dim room and given instructions to prepare myself before the therapist comes in. My massage therapist came in, introduced herself, and got to business. By the end of the session, I felt slightly better. The stiffness and ache in my back was definitely still present. But I wasn't expecting a full recovery after a 60 minute sessions so I didn't mind. I appreciated that she really tried using pressure on the back by literally using her entire body weight, because most of the massage therapists I get are significantly lighter than me, so I don't really feel much when they try to get the knots out. That being said, it would be nice to have an option online for a male therapist as I could have used more pressure on my back. The portion where you can book with certain staff members are only labeled as 'Therapist' for all the options. I understand from a privacy-focused perspective why they'd do that, but I never know who I' getting when I book with them. Decent service, would come back again if needed. read more

I'm Been coming here for years, thought I already reviewed The Gardens Wellness Spa. I don't have a favorite masseuse, they've all been great to me and they're always able to get me in when I need. I really appreciate this place, no complaints. read more

For one hour massage is $85. Second time and not returning. This place is not as much into proper technique, and does not massage with hands. More about pushing down pressure using their elbows, tools, and knees. I prefer massages directly on my knots and areas of focus. When I mention areas of focus, she roughly goes over that area but then will do a full body massage, which I didn't ask for when I wanted focus areas. They will sit on the table or climb onto the tables to push their fists into your body. Not the true therapeutic massage I look for, if these masseuse just push their fists into your body. read more

My husband and I booked 60 min massages. I preferred the Swedish and he requested a deep tissue massage for some tension he's been experiencing. Overall, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean and organized. I like that the business was easy to access and there was no stress navigating to and from. My massage therapist, Annie, was attentive and helpful. This is a great place if you're looking for a quality service at a reasonable rate! read more

I had am amazing experience. The Wellness Center was professional and clean. It provided a very tranquil a environment. Cindy provided the 75 minute Deep Tissue massage service. I enjoyed the heated massage bed and she would wipe off the oil with a hot towel. I definitely recommend this place, services, and will be back again soon. read more

Such a disappointing experience for prenatal massage. I came here because the reviews were good on Yelp, thinking I'd get an awesome prenatal massage and that I had found my go to spot during pregnancy. News flash. They are terrible at prenatal massages with no technique or pressure to their what felt like "rub" instead of massage. You pay $95 for absolutely no relaxation or relief for an hour. Don't waste your time coming here. I hope everyone reads this review and reconsiders their decision to book with this place. read more

I had a wonderful experience . The spa is very clean , peaceful and relaxing .My massage was amazing and helps my neck pain.Thank you again , will definitely be coming back . read more

This was not the good experience we were hoping for. My boyfriend and I went for 2 separate treatments- him a 90 min deep tissue and me a deep tissue 60 min and facial. After meeting up afterwards, his massage was far from deep tissue. He said she was extremely pleasant and nice but just didn't do it as strong as he asked. Me - I specifically said I wanted to only focus on lower back, neck, arms and back but woman said she had to do legs to get full effect of massage- therefore there ended up being no arm massage and barely any neck massage. More standing on knees on my back and stretching for deep tissue. The facial. Literally no extractions or treatment of imperfections, which I have. Just felt like she globbed face products on my face while steam over my face. I had hoped for a good mask or something but it barely felt like 30 minutes let alone an hour. For no visible effect to my face whatsoever. I noticed it was the girl who arrived in the front with a sweatshirt on. So I don't even know if she's certified to do facials. Very disappointing and my back has literally been in absolute worse pain for 4 days since I left than before. Quite a small place located in a strip mall sort of. Small entryway with minima decor. Pleasant girl at desk though. Update as of 03/26/2026: I messaged with the owner of the spa a few times and she was extremely caring and even offered to re-do the services with different therapists to make up for my experience - but at this time I am not willing to go back due to pain and discomfort I'm having currently - so with that she refunded my services. I greatly appreciate this, as I would eventually like to get the same thing again - just not at this time. It's really nice when an owner of a business takes time to read reviews, and discuss any problems or issues that arise - as they take responsibility for their products and services. Thank you. read more

I did the queen for the day experience and really enjoyed my facial with Talia, she extracted imperfections but was also super relaxing and hydrating. The massage was very relaxing as well. Very serene space will definitely be back read more

Rating this as a a strong 3.75 stars if an option. First time visitors to this wellness spa Located in a business plaza Plenty of large opening parking spots to the business Website user friendly to view services and make appointments Intake form is submitted to you via phone to respond to and will auto save if not completed in one sitting Upon entry greeted and and the front knew who we were and asked upon our form submitted We were both doing the 60 min Swedish and ionic foot detox and added hot stones for the massage Since we were early we offered a sitting in the waiting room that had 2 recliner chairs and a diffuser and Minimal wall art Chairs recline but are not heated or offer a massage We were sitting in a enclosed room with tranquil music playing in the background We were then told we would we be doing our foot service first in the same waiting room then the massage 2 ladies came in and did not introduce themselves and set us with a foot tub with warm to hot water (water temp was checked) and they added pink salt and this black machine pump - we did not know the process of anything or what to expect as nothing was communicated So basically water starts off from clear to dark removing toxins from your body through your foot Ladies came back 30 mins later and used towels to wipe our feet and then gave a small foot massage It was interesting because was not familiar with the process and kind of not appealing to see how dark the liquid did get but my foot felt smoother and dead skin maybe removed? We were then communicated to go to a room and I did not book a couple session and was under the impression that we would be in separate rooms but turns out it be our first experience doing a side by side massage as a couple room was set up for us Room was basic with dim lightning, quote on wall, mirror, skincare equipment, a chair and bin to hold clothes The massage overall we both enjoyed, check once if pressure was good and was encourage to communicate for pressure adjustment, best part was probably the hot stones and the movement and technique utilized. Full body massage was provided but on the intake form you are able to indicate to focus on certain aspects. Massage bed is heated and there are a few light sheets to drape over Still didn't know who our therapist were until I asked at end of service - Cindy and Kim Cash tip is recommended and it appear all payment types are accepted We would come back overall as it was a nice experience to treat ourselves and to loosen some knots and muscles. Since we disclosed we were first time visitors we were hoping for stronger communication since we did not know what to expect and also simple introductions from the therapist is helpful. Also having a separate area from the waiting room to conduct foot treatments would be ideal but understanding functionality of space. But still reasonably price and good hidden spot to try out and great discovery so thank you overall! read more

I took my daughter for birthday massage. We both loved the massages and the session. We will go again. The vibe was calm & relaxing. read more

First Timer and a Sunday spur of the moment "self-care" treat (I'm so GLAD I did). THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! An ABSOLUTE Five Star rating for me and Yelp ratings also say the same. I haven't had a decent massage in a long time. I looked on Yelp the night before and this place caught my attention, of course because of its ratings. I sent a message late this evening to ask about availability and pricing for the next day. Of course, I wasn't expecting an immediate response, as it was already late. But early Sunday, even before their opening hours, Katie reached out to me to provide the information I requested. The messages were very prompt, friendly and informative so I WAS SOLD for their services. Confirming the appointment was QUICK and EASY, no added pressure as to what was not needed. I confirmed my appointment for 12pm. However, I received a call from them reaching out to ask if I could come in at 1230pm due to running behind schedule. This wasn't an issue; I was really appreciative that someone reached out in a sufficient amount of time to notify of this. I must say this place is that "hidden gem". It's a nice area; parking is ample, and traffic is minimal (I recommend going on a Sunday). I walk in and was immediately greeted, and they were ready. Ladies at the front were super friendly (Mia assisted me). The room was dim, and music was relaxing. My service was a 60-minute-deep tissue massage. My masseuse (Nancy) was AMAZING! During the massage, I was appreciative that she checked in on me (not too often but at the right moments) to make sure I was ok. She also made sure to inform me of the things she was going to do beforehand. And DANG!, her deep tissue massages were ON POINT!!! I LOVED the Services today!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! Given their AMAZING services, I do plan on returning. Thank you SO MUCH, the Garden Wellness Spa! HUGE Shoutout to Katie, Mia and Nancy ~ Keep up with the AWESOME Services!!! read more

Every service I've gotten here has been amazing. If you join their mailing list the provide specials that aren't always listed on the website. I had the massage and added foot scrub and head massage. I've also had their sports massage, couples massage and head neck and shoulders only massage. Every therapist I've had has been amazing. Only thing I haven't tried are the facials. read more

I did not have a lot of time but I really needed to detach after a day of tensions. The hostess set me up with a simple foot detox coupled with a half an hour foot massage and this did the trick. I actually concked out for for the last 15 minutes. They said it was ok so I snoozed in the room for another 15 minutes. Feeling revitalized I got home feeling much less tattered and ready to eat and get to bed. Thank you all that helped me out today at the Gardens Wellness Spa. read more

My friend took me here for my birthday to experience my first facial. I did not enjoy it and am hesitant to do another facial in the future if all facials are like this. My facialist never introduced herself to me so I unfortunately cannot provide a name. She was rough from the start. Abruptly moving my head left and right. At one point she applied something to my face and I felt a burning sensation that was lingering. I wasn't sure if that was normal, so I asked her. She was immediately on defense mode that I asked that and went on a tangent about how she's never had a client that had this happen to them before. I just wanted to know if it was normal or not. I didn't want this being a whole ordeal. After that, she would ask me if I still feel it every few minutes and if I didn't answer quickly enough, she would double poke my cheekbone with some pressure. The entire facial felt rushed and perfunctory. The experience was not relaxing at all. I would not recommend The Gardens Wellness Spa for a facial. read more

I'm never disappointed and always leave relaxed and at peace. They offer so many services and even monthly specials. Singles and couples massages too. You can add on items such as aromatherapy or hot stones. I really love Megan and Nakitta. I usually get the 90 minute Swedish massage. They offer different styles that I appreciate. Prices are very affordable and reasonable. They also offer membership pricing for their regular customers. Day or evening appointments to fit your schedule. Come try them out then stay forever. read more

More like 4.5 :) Came in for a couples massage and body scrub deal. We both left feeling very very refreshed. The body scrub I could probably do without, but it was still nice. The staff was kind and the rooms felt clean. The heating mat on my massage table was a really nice touch. They have deals regularly, so sign up for their email list :) read more

I came to The Garden Wellness Spa in the midst of an ongoing acne breakout on my face. I was super close to giving up completely on my skincare routine. I decided to try their "deep cleansing acne facial" service, and I'm so glad I did because my skin started improving way sooner than I expected. If you're sensitive to pain during extractions, definitely ask for Nancy. She's super gentle, takes her time with every clogged pore, and makes the whole process feel way less intimidating. My best results showed up about three days after the facial. I didn't change my diet, skincare routine, or daily schedule at all. Yet the inflammation went down, the redness faded, and the breakout calmed dramatically. If you're dealing with breakouts or stubborn clogged pores, I seriously recommend trying this service at The Gardens Wellness Spa. It made a huge difference for me. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The service at Gardens Wellness Spa is TOP NOTCH!! The level of care, patience, and attention to detail here is unmatched anywhere else I've gone. They treat you like royalty from the second you walk in, to the moment you leave. Linh and Jenny usually assist at the front and are both incredibly warm and welcoming. Lilly is the owner I believe, and she is just so kind and you can tell she really cares about the business. She is always so friendly and takes pride in the quality of services they provide here. I've had massages from Tammy, Nancy, T, and others over the years and I've always been thrilled with how enjoyable and relaxing each massage was. They have so many options to customize the exact massage you want, and the masseuses do a wonderful job at asking for feedback to ensure that you're comfortable and that your specific needs are being met for each visit. Typically I look to address the neck and shoulders where there is a LOT of tension, which they happily address while making sure the pressure is just right. I've also had a few facials here more recently and they are the best! I always leave feeling like I'm glowing with my skin feeling so nourished and refreshed. Clearly, I have no shortage of praise for Gardens Wellness Spa and every single word is genuine and deserved!! HIGHLY recommend you check them out as they always offer wonderful special and deals that make it even more enticing to come in for a massage, facial, head spa, or even all 3 if you're in dire need of a total self care day! read more

Quality wasn't met at all, my wife spent $150 plus dollars on a couple massage. I asked for a deep tissue massage and received a massage that my wife does better for me, then a so call "certified therapist" The most horrible massage I have gotten. Would not recommend. And will never go back. read more

I I could add more stars I would! It looks like a small place but when you get in you realize how big it is . There packages are great and there staff is great. They care about the little things and will not over sell you on services you do not need. It's a little oasis in Anaheim read more

I first went to gardens wellness spa because my husband and I were gifted a couples massage here a few years ago. I've been coming here ever since. This is my go to massage place. The prices are reasonable compared to other places. It's clean, professional , relaxing and rejuvenating. I've always gotten what I've asked for/ expected. I like getting the hot stone massage at low to medium pressure. You get a private room. As someone who has anxiety, it's nice to find a place I can rest my mind and feel my tension be lifted after the session. read more

Wow! It's my first time ever having a head/hair treatment done and I'm so glad I found this spa. From the receptionist, Lily to the treatment lady Thalia, everyone was so sweet and welcoming. As a first time mom, I didn't know how much I needed this till I had this service done. I scheduled for the bliss spa treatment and that included a mini facial with the hair/head treatment and everything smelled and felt so good, I felt like royalty. The room was so peaceful and comfortable. They play soothing spa music and it's hard to not fall asleep. I will be coming back in about 4-6 weeks and will also be scheduling for my husband. read more

Wow!! Just got my first facial!!! (Thanks to my gf!!) I think I'll make facials a part of my new self-care routine. This experience was awesome-very relaxing! If I could change anything, though, I would just ask that I'm told what's being applied to my face and what the benefits are while it's happening. Otherwise, the employees are professional and the atmosphere is very soothing. I'll most likely never come here ever again since I'm visiting from North Carolina, but I highly recommend it. read more

Extremely thoughtful and thorough 1hr body massage. Highly recommend it!! Very attentive staff too. Clean and friendly

Just a very well managed establishment. Every aspect of running their business is very comfortable and seamless. Hard to do any better. The receptionist staff is always at their best. I have been a client off and on for two years and have a special appreciation for the hard work required to be a massage therapist. I have a medical condition that is helped greatly with massage therapy. Each treatment I receive from Kim improves my flexibility range of motion and overall feeling of comfort and relaxation. It's a great "zone" to be in. The therapist is the key to a wonderful massage experience. My recommendation is Kim as a therapist. She is consistently improving her technique and truly cares about your experience. Enjoy! read more

Last month, my boyfriend and I booked the couples massage and facial package. I was excited because it was my first head spa experience. ARRIVAL: There was plenty of lot parking. The entry and reception area was very clean, quiet, and relaxing. The woman who greeted us was very warm and welcoming. MASSAGE: The room lighting was dim and tranquil. My massage therapist did go over my spine a couple times (ouch) but overall it was relaxing. If I were to come back, I'd ask for lighter pressure. Boyfriend enjoyed his massage as well. FACIAL/HEAD SPA: The facial was the reason I gave two stars. The ladies who did our massages were not the same ladies who did our facials. My facialist was younger than the other ladies at the spa and was visibly apathetic from the get-go. She didn't once tell me what was being put on my face, so everything was a mystery at the time. It was only after the fact when I looked it up on their website. One product was jarringly cold when she smeared it on. One product felt like a physical scrub (like a St. Ives apricot scrub), which I normally avoid. Another product had a burning sensation. I tried to pass off as "minty" until my boyfriend said it irritated his face too. At one point, my facialist applied a product TO MY LIPS. When I recoiled, she just said "it's okay..." and continued applying it to the rest of my face while I laid there uncomfortably, lips slathered in an unknown product. When I asked my boyfriend, he said nothing ever got applied to his lips...so what the heck?? After the facial/head spa, she brought me over to the chair and stuck me under the hair dryer dome. I admittedly got jealous because my boyfriend's facialist asked him if he wanted his hair styled, so I assumed I would get the same option. Nope. When my person came back, she started blow drying my tangled hair (granted, I have long hair), tossing it over my face with little care. I got fed up after about 3 mins of blow drying and told her to stop. She put away the blow dryer and coarsely brushed my hair before leaving me to get dressed. When I combed my fingers through my hair, locks and locks came out. She didn't even bother brushing all the way through and getting rid of my loose hairs. At the end of the facial/head spa treatment, my hair felt frizzy, dry, and greasy and my face felt gross and oily. Small pros of head spa: The waterfall attachment was super relaxing. If you'd stuck me under there and omitted the shampooing/conditioning service, I would've been happy. My facialist did ask if the water temperature was comfortable, which I appreciated. They also laid a blanket over me when I said I was getting cold. PAYMENT: When tipping by credit card, there's no way to split the tips by service providers; everything is pooled, so my facialist got a cut of that tip. If we had known, we would've tipped in cash right after the service instead of tipping by credit card. My facialist was the one who took our payment at the end of everything, and my boyfriend mentioned that the first time he saw her smile was after we paid LOL SUMMARY: I'd possibly come back for massages, but would avoid the facial/head spa at all costs, specifically if it's with that younger woman. She singlehandedly ruined my experience. read more

I have never ever had anyone tell me what amount to tip or even demand me that I pay a certain amount of tip until I came to this place!!!!!!! I was FLABBERGASTED. I was tipping via card which they were already upset about because they want cash, and then they tried to negotiate the amount. That left such a bad taste in my mouth, I will NOT be coming back again. read more

I was looking for a place for my daughter and I to get massages. We were able to book here and had a very nice and relaxing time. They use info you provide on an intake form to tailor your services for you. Annie and Megan were friendly, professional and the Swedish massage - light touch was just right for us, but they did check to make sure we were good. Rooms were clean, quiet and restful and we were able to take advantage of one of their spring specials which was awesome. We will definitely return. Note: you can pay with credit card but they would prefer cash for tips. read more

I made an appointment online for The Gardens Wellness Spa. I haven't had a facial in over a year. I know I'm slacking, oops. I need to be better about my self-care. I booked an acne facial since I struggle with that. Deanna was my esthetician. She was very knowledgeable about skin care and gave me lots of tips. I learned that I should do circular motions when cleansing my skin, wash twice after wearing makeup, and that you don't always need anti-aging products. She was very informative. My face felt so clean when I left. I'm hoping I don't have any breakouts in response to the moisturizers. Often times, my face will breakout after a facial because of all the products. Which is why I don't go as often as I should. I worry my face will have a reaction. So far, so good. My facial was yesterday, and today I only have a couple new blemishes. Which could just be hormonal. read more

I've been to both the Costa Mesa location and this newly remodeled Orange location. I've had really good experiences at both!

I had the best treatment! Tammy was amazing! I will definitely come back! The scalp treatment was amazing !

I'm updating my review for Gardens Wellness Spa because they recently added Head Spa Packages, and my wife and I just tried them out. As first-timers for this type of experience, I can confidently say it's a solid 5/5. I can't speak for my wife's specific service, but she got the Bliss Spa Package and absolutely loved how great her head felt afterward. I went all in and got the Scalp Therapy Treatment since I've never known what type of scalp I have. My technician, Jenny, immediately told me it was oily and sensitive. This information alone is so valuable, as it will help me buy better shampoos and take care of my scalp more effectively. I highly recommend Jenny for anyone who is a first-timer. She was a 5/5 from start to finish, with perfect pressure and water temperature, and she was very communicative about the entire process. I appreciated that she explained what she was doing next. Keep in mind, they are still fairly new to this specific service, so there are still some things they are working out, but with the promo they are running this month for past customers, it's a fantastic time to give it a try. The best part is that this isn't like other dingy, dark head spa places. It genuinely feels like an upscale massage parlor. You get your own private room (or a couple's room if you come with a partner), and the music is incredibly soothing. While I'm not sure if the price is more or less than other places, even the basic package includes a mini facial that other places don't, which feels like a great little bonus. This head spa experience just adds to the fact that I put this place in the top 3 of all the massage parlors I've ever been to. From beginning to end, the service was spectacular. My appointment was ready to go when I walked in, and they walked me through the entire process. I left feeling completely relaxed, with a chocolate and water in hand. My wife and I will definitely be coming back for a couples massage, and of course, more head spa treatments! read more
