    This review is long overdue! Steve is very, very talented at what he does. I have never had a…read morecraniosacral therapy session before, but I wanted to try a new approach to easing the tension I store in my body. He asked me about my concerns, and was very kind and receptive. The entire session was relaxing in every sense of the word. He uses a variety of methods, including cupping which really helped my ever-frozen shoulders and neck. I was also pleasantly surprised by how comforted I felt during this, which is not something I usually experience when having body work done. Afterward, I immediately felt so happy. My shoulders felt so relaxed and I had an epic sleep that night. If you are feeling tired, sore, tense, and are looking to try something new, be sure to see Steve and he will help you immensely!

His knowledge and step by step process was a work of art in my healing process paying the most precise attention to detail and am grateful for this experience. He is a healer through those incredible hands & knowledge he holds. Thank you for your impeccable services and hope to be a long standing patient of yours.

    This is my first yelp review. I normally don't bother but I felt compelled to share the positive…read moreexperience I've had with Rachelle. Moms out there, you have to go see Rachelle if your baby has colic and/or reflux! My daughter (6 wks old) was diagnosed with both and after many sleepless nights and days, I was desperate. The Zantac was not working and it was so hard to watch her in pain. I was a zombie! I had never done craniosacral therapy; I did not know what to expect but I read that it can help babies if they are in pain. Rachelle was so gentle with my daughter and used the lightest of touches. She communicated with the baby and me throughout the whole session and answered all my questions (I had many!) patiently and thoroughly. So did it work? That night, my daughter slept for the longest ever stretch (5 hrs!) which means I got some much needed rest too. She was not as fussy and her reflux did not bother her as much. And it's been 3 days with the same pattern so it's not a fluke. I changed nothing else in her routine. I think her colic went away too. Amazing!!! Rachelle also followed up with me after a few days to see how the baby was feeling. You can tell she is so passionate about what she does. She is a very talented healer and I am booking the next appointment for myself! Go see her! I am so thankful I did.

    I originally found this place because of all the great reviews, and after coming here 4 times now,…read moreI can honestly say they deserve every bit of the praise. Every visit has been consistently excellent, which is rare to find. One thing I really appreciate is that I've never had to wait or even make an appointment because they seem to staff appropriately and run things efficiently. Even more impressive, I've had a different massage therapist each time, yet every experience has been exceptional. The woman at the front desk is incredibly kind and welcoming. She remembered me after just a couple of visits, which made the experience feel even more personal and comfortable. The pricing is very fair for the quality of service you receive. You truly get your money's worth here. They never rush through the session, they always check to make sure the pressure is right, and they give you the full time you paid for. Unfortunately, that is not always guaranteed at other places. If you've been thinking about trying this place, I highly recommend giving them a chance. Consistently great service, friendly staff, and an overall relaxing experience every single time.

    Surf City Massage is truly one of the most professional, efficient, & therapeutic massage…read moreexperiences I've ever had! I've been going to surf city for over 1.5 years now & they never disappoint :) From the moment you walk in, it's impeccably clean with a beautiful, zen ambiance and soft piano music playing at the perfect low volume--it immediately puts you at ease. I'm obsessed with their hot stones, and every massage therapist I've seen here is incredibly well-trained, attentive, and genuinely skilled at customizing the experience to your exact needs. They thoughtfully adjust the pressure and technique based on your preferences and areas of concern, which makes such a difference. Winnie, in particular, was so warm and gifted--she carefully worked through deep, stubborn knots in my upper back, traps, and lower back with so much intention. I came in with a severe migraine from intense tightness in my neck, shoulders, and upper back--to the point where i had blurry vision and nausea (likely from a pinched nerve or restricted blood flow). After the massage, my migraine was essentially gone. I felt clear, lighter, and the pain and tightness were significantly relieved. I've also been treated by several of the other therapists, and they are all excellent--truly consistent in quality and care. The owner is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional, and she genuinely ensures every client feels taken care of at each visit. They even offer stamp cards that can be redeemed for a complimentary massage, which is such a nice touch. This place is truly a hidden gem in Huntington Beach, and I feel so lucky to live nearby. I can't recommend it enough.

    I have been seeing Samantha for over 4 years and she is great. However she is quite popular now and…read morecurrently only works Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday so you usually have to schedule at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead of time to get with her consistently. Thankfully as of March 2023 she has gotten a second massage therapist to join the studio in Kim Hostetter! She covers Monday/Wednesday/Friday. You can book with her to get a massage in Samantha's studio here: https://www.intuitivehealingwithkim.com/appointments Kim is great as well. She lets you choose your pressure ahead of time and makes sure to check in during the middle and can go harder or lighter if needed. I myself prefer firm pressure and her pressure is just perfect for me. I can handle hard pressure pretty well, especially with my super tight muscles on my back, shoulders, neck, hamstrings, and calves. Kim can work in targeted areas or full body as needed and do well both ways. She also provides the option of using a massage gun to help loosen up tighter muscles so she can go deep tissue. It works great for me I can handle high pressure. Kim provides good communication even outside the massage. You can text message her for scheduling or rescheduling in addition to the website above. She can also give good advice related to some stretches or good massage routines or focuses. I've only had a few massages with Kim so far but I like forward to continue working with her. She (along with Samantha) provide nice in-studio package deals so you can save money on multiple pre-paid sessions. I can't speak for Kim's lighter pressure but at least as someone who likes firmer pressure I think she does a great job. I highly recommend giving her a shot.
