Emily is absolutely one of the most talented massage therapists I have worked with. She is an…read moreattentive listener - she takes the time to listen to your needs and then tailors the massage to meet them. She is exceptionally patient when working on the body, which is a big plus for me. So many therapists feel like they are rushing through the massage, not taking the time to actually feel the areas that are restricted or tense. Not so with Emily - it feels like she's listening to your body when she works...tuning into the areas that are needing attention. She works deeply, but gently. I especially recommend her for those that want deep tissue but may be worried it will hurt or have had a past experience that left them feeling "beat up." Emily is highly skilled at getting to the deep layers without causing additional stress in the body. She is also a consummate professional who is passionate about her work, timely, and knowledgeable about anatomy and technique. Book a session - you won't be disappointed!

Wendy of Misty Mountain Massage is my absolute favorite! I have been seeing Wendy for massage for…read more2+ years. (She used to work in Scotts Valley, and recently opened her own place!)

She's also extremely knowledgeable about the human body - if she can't resolve the issue, she has an amazing network of body specialists to refer to that absolutely adore her (chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc). Her new massage studio is super relaxing and cozy - I love it so much more than her old office. It's warm, cozy and really reflects her inviting and relaxing presence.

I went in with seriously distressed shoulders stiffened by 6 months in a cervical collar, the result of a broken neck and subsequent fusion surgery. I asked Vanessa to feel her way through the difficult areas and do whatever she thought would give me relief and comfort. She did just that and I left feeling better than I had since long before my accident. I'll surely be back there to maintain and extend the areas of comfort and flexibility that Vanessa has provided. In case you didn't hear me the first time, let me finish by saying that you'll not get a better massage here in Santa Cruz or anywhere else.

What made this experience even more worthy of 5 stars was Linda's willingness to share her knowledge in diet and general well being.
