It truly IS a MAGICal experience!! The masseuses are MASTERS of their art! Because that's what it…read moreis...an ART. They seem to hone in on where your pain or discomfort is, and give that area special attention, so your massage will be a little different each time you go. What I like about this place is that they include your feet, sinuses, ears and forehead in the full body massage, whereas most other massage places don't, unless you pay for a separate massage of your feet. My husband and I are addicted!

Beth at Empowering Hands is amazing! I recently had a facial to help treat the redness in my skin,…read morewhich was something Beth suggested after my last facial. I really appreciate that she starts each appointment by asking about my goals and what I'm hoping to work on. For me, my goal is to feel more comfortable without makeup, and Beth has been so thoughtful and supportive in helping me work toward that. She not only provides a relaxing and personalized facial experience, but she has also helped me build a home care routine that supports my skin goals between appointments. I always feel listened to, cared for, and confident that I'm in knowledgeable hands. I highly recommend Beth!

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.

OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE. From start to finish - start being arranging two 90 minute massages…read moreconcurrently (which always takes advanced planning and patience with every massage place!) to the visit itself. We picked a date and arranged our massages via telephone and email. We later tried to rearrange our times, which wasn't possible, but the team was super responsive and very kind and tried so hard to make it work! Which we really appreciated. We arrived a few minutes early to complete the forms, and were treated to a warm welcome in a calm, inviting space with zero stress vibes. The two massage therapists who worked with/on us were both there to greet us, both super friendly and excellent vibes from the start. My husband was treating me for my birthday, so I was hoping for excellence, and we got it. He had deep tissue, and he said he was extremely happy with the results. It was both invigorating and relaxing for him. I wanted pure relaxation, so opted for Swedish Massage. I was so relaxed, I fought sleep the entire time b/c I wanted to experience the excellence that was taking place. Every single part of me was relaxed - I was in a near coma state of bliss! I walked (oozed?) out of the place afterward feeling 100% whole and completely at ease. We were lucky enough to leave there and head to a hot-tub at our hotel (Hilton, Scotts Valley - lovely place) and that was just perfect. And did I mention how affordable it felt! It was about $110 (I think) for 90 minutes - plus of course a good cash tip b/c it was well deserved, and you should ALWAYS tip our massage therapist! I live about an hour from this place without traffic, but we will definitely be back! I am a bit of a massage hound, and this place is worth the trek and the effort!!!

I cannot recommend Sarah enough.

I get "the works" (sauna before massage, hot stone massage, cupping, reiki massage). Sarah is so attentive to my needs. I tell her what's going on/how I'm feeling & she caters each session. I leave there feeling electric! And Sarah offers price discounts for multiple sessions a month, which allows me to fit my sessions into my budget. I've never had such an amazing massage experience prior to Sarah. She's so skillful, kind, and professional. And she frequently adds new options & amenities to enhance the experience. I strongly recommend Touch of Serenity.

Not only is Sarah an amazing massage therapist but she is also an energy healer. The space she has…read morecurated is relaxing and nurturing. She always starts by asking how you are doing and really listens to your needs. She has hands that magically find the exact spots where my knots are. She is the first massage therapist I have gone to that checks all the boxes for me. I feel safe and cared for and always leave feeling refreshed and vitalized. I recommend trying cupping (it was my first time trying it with Sarah) and she made sure that I felt comfortable the whole time. I do believe the cupping helps keep tension away longer than when I do just a massage. I recommend Sarah to all my friends!

Elizabeth is a fantastic therapist and person, I always look forward to our sessions because she…read morealways takes the time to ask about where your pain is coming from and unlike most therapists, will not leave you in even more pain the next day even if deep muscle therapy is needed.

Elizabeth comes to our office each week and provides amazing massages to our employees. She does an…read moreexcellent job of being both professional and very personable which is extremely important to us. I'd recommend her to anyone (both personal and for companies) since she is able to customize the services she offers based on the customers' needs, handles appointments and payments seamlessly, and is always on time. Companies should consider offering massage therapy more often as it is a great way to improve the work environment and promote health/wellness. Additionally, if you need a copy of her license or insurance, it's not a problem - she's got it. Once a time and place are coordinated, she handles ALL the details. Really delightful in a busy office!

I did not expect to write a his review…read more I went in for a last minute massage tonight while my kid was at baseball practice. I called in advance and they were accommodating. I will start by saying, this was one of the BEST massages of my life. My lower back and body has been really sore lately and I was so happy with the pressure and attention to detail the masseuse offered. She really gave me a great massage and even did hot stones (I didn't ask for them, but this was a great). The problem, and why I'm not sure if I'll ever go back: after the massage, I gave her my tip-- I generally tip 20 percent of I get good service regardless of if I'm at a restaurant, bar, or getting a massage or whatever. In the his case, my 90 minute massage was $100, so I had ed her a $20 bill. She actually said this word for word: "I want more! This is very hard work" I have never been asked by anyone at any establishment I've been to leave more of a tip than I chose to leave. I was in shock as I just went from a very satisfied and happy customer to feeling awkward and obligated in a matter of seconds. I ended up giving her $10 more, and I wish I hadn't. I honestly didn't have words to tell her as I was still ing some what it a dog post massage. If the owner reads this, or you were the owner giving me my massage: would you rather me come back over and over again and tip 20 percent (as I was planning to do because I was so stoked on the actual massage), or would you rather me never come back again because I'm now concerned that I have to deal with an employee asking me for more money after I had already paid $120? This would be 5 stars if she had just happily taken my tip and said thank you. I would have been back without a doubt. Maybe I will give them another shot, but I'm leaning towards a one and done. I saw another review by Paul with a very similar experience. Awkward and unprofessional to ask a patron for more tip money.

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).
