Let me start by saying the sign outside does not say Ripple Spa & Massage (can't remember what it…read morewas called) but another massage place so it was a bit confusing at first. We were greeted by the massage therapist and had back to back appointments because there was only one massage therapist in house that day. Both massage therapists speak Mandarin and English so it was easy to communicate with them. The one who accepted the call for the appointments was not there so when we walked in the massage therapist seemed a bit thrown back when we came in but we also had only made the appointments 30 minutes prior. My friend who got their massage first said it was great, saying she put in a lot of pressure to relieve all tension. I did not receive the same pressure but I assume it's because I was her third client in a row which is understandably tiring. She was very thorough with our full body massages going over the back, waist, pelvic area, part of the glutes, chest, scalp, face, hands, feet, legs, fingers, and arms. I was embarrassed when I had to flip over to lay on my back cause I was COLD and my nips definitely reflected that! The sheet they cover you with is thin (think flat sheet in a sheet set) and the table doesn't have any heating whatsoever. The floors were heated but that didn't really help since I'm laying on the table majority of the time. I did see the thermostat was set at 75 degrees so it really could have just been me that was cold but a thicker sheet could have definitely helped. All in all, the prices are decent and I would come again.

I've been getting massages 1-5 times a week for over 30 years, all over the world, so I don't say…read morethis lightly: this place is a 10/10. I've had two 2-hour massages and one 60-minute session here, and every single one was excellent--incredible technique, perfect pressure, deeply relaxing, and truly therapeutic. Aida is magical. I highly, highly recommend her and really, the entire team. Every time I come in I'm exhausted and achy, and every time I leave feeling refreshed, reset, and ready to get back to work. Thank you a million times. This place is something special.

This is an Asian massage spa that offers great value. Housed in an older building on Soquel Drive…read morenear Porter. They have lots of therapy rooms along a main corridor. I went in to try a 60 minute massage for the 1st time yesterday. I texted the main number the day before to make a 2pm appointment on a Thursday for a deep tissue massage. My therapist was Noni. Overall, it was a good massage, but it was more of a swedish massage with some hot stone treatment thrown in. Pressure was good, and my therapist did regularly ask if the pressure was right. She did cover my full body, worked my back and neck really well, and included some stretching in the full 60 minutes. However, it did seem a bit frantic and rushed and not quite as relaxing as I prefer. Will probably give them another try and request a 90 minute deep tissue sports massage without the hot stones. Currently $60 cash/$63 credit card for 60 minutes. Almost all the therapists are female.

Shortly after we started our session, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. She gently released tensions that had been building up in my neck, shoulders and arms. She provided aromatherapy and did not rush the process at any point. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for an acutely intentional massage.

A warm, easy going, present being, Tori brings a wonderful balance of compassion, skill, and intuition to the table. She checks in beforehand, tailors each session accordingly, and is totally committed to a deep, healing, and relaxing experience.

In fact, I feel Tori's energetic and intuitive communication with my body as she works... tuning in, listening, encouraging, soothing, guiding my body and self to relax, surrender, release, and renew. Thank you Tori... you are an awesome bodyworker and a beautiful person! Blessings, Michael

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!) Wendy provides a massage to best suit my ever changing needs. I love a good deep tissue massage, and also enjoy a relaxing soothing massage. She can do it all, and helps guide me towards the massage that best suits my body when it comes to stress relief, lower back pain, and shoulder tension. 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. If you want a wonderful high quality massage, I highly highly highly recommend Wendy at Misty Mountain Massage.

I've been coming here regularly for years. The past four times I have commented to them that they…read moreplay the same piece of music over and over in a five minute loop. I have asked them to fix it. The guy at the front got annoyed with me, saying I am the only person who notices this. He showed me the YouTube on his phone, which shows a three hour loop. Well, the thing is stuck on one song (which I could now easily play on the piano, having heard it so many times), and he refuses to believe me. I can't read the Chinese characters on his phone screen to show him how to fix it. The guy told me to bring my own headphones next time (I tried this once and couldn't relax with two sources of music playing at once). He was clearly unhappy with me. And I was unhappy too, because now I don't want to go back to my favorite massage place. Every massage I have had there was great (except for the danged music). Has anybody else noticed the five-minute music loop there? I'd be really curious to know whether it bothers anyone else. I would suspect that anyone with the slightest bit of musical background would find it irritating, as I do.
