I have been a regular client of Lilin's since 2019. She is an incredibly skilled masseuse and so kind. She is always able to work out any knots I may have during our session. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you want an amazing massage look no further. Whenever I visit Lilin I leave feeling like a million buck, and taller too. She really knows her way around my body. She can find all my troublesome spots and work them away. I get the Thai combination massage and like to add the hot stones. The hot stones really help my muscles to relax as she works out all the tension. She always make sure to check in with me throughout the massage to make sure the pressure it right. Which it always is, I know she can feel my reactions. Lilin runs her own business. When you visit her, it's just the two of you. She has her own suit with a waiting area, bathroom, and massage room. It is intimate and feels personal. You can tell she cares about her business and all of her clients. If you are looking for a large spa with steam rooms and saunas, receptionists and multiple massage therapists, fountains and champagne, this may not be the place for you. If you are looking for your stress to melt away, your body to be treated with attention and care, and frankly one of the best massage of your life, this is your place. Thank you Lilin! read more

My key thoughts are great massage and great conversation. I tried the prenatal massage at 36 weeks. I'd go again if I lived in the area. What a great, last-minute find! read more

Yelp steered me wrong. Not sure why this place is highly rated. The massage itself was fine. The whole experience not so much. Let me start with the ambiance. As soon as I walked in, I was socked to see the waiting area, looks like a mini mart/storage room. It gives the impression of unorganized and stressful. Not what you would expect in a massage studio. As I said the massage was fine, but Lilin kept talking so much including asking personal questions and complaining about other clients. The reviews and photos on Yelp are old. read more

I've been seeing Lilin for about 6 years now. She is one of the best massage therapists that I've ever been to and in my opinion, is very reasonably priced. She's always been friendly and very accommodating. I typically get 60-90 minute Swedish massages with hot stones. Her massages are incredibly relaxing and very consistent. I have rheumatoid arthritis so there are certain areas of my body that get really bad knots or the muscles are tight, and she is able to make significant improvements. She's very strong and is able to adjust pressure as needed. I love the muscle cream she uses for massages too. I've encouraged my boyfriend to also get deep tissue massages from her and he also really enjoyed his experience. I always recommend friends & family to her. Massages are completely private. Lilin also has an online business called Thai Pantry (https://thaipantry.net) selling Thai goods (snacks, drinks, dry goods), so she has a display of available items in the front lobby area. I definitely don't mind going home after a massage with a fun snack! The location is a suite in a private office building. It's a very small parking lot, but I never have a problem finding a space. Support small businesses, especially hers! read more

Lilian's massage therapy is excellent! One of the best I've ever had, she communicates to make sure I feel comfortable during the session and targets the areas where I hold the most tension/nots. Definitely recommend the hot stones! Her clean studio space is simple and tranquil. Even without me asking about her many years of experience I could tell she knew her stuff and puts a lot of care into her massages. read more

A Healing Touch By Lilin - In the room, pretty ambient lighting - Massage Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

See all

Hi all, I am writing the review to let you know how much Lillin has helped me. I came to Lillin after developing some muscle and joint pain that has built up over the past few years of work and aging. I had already tried some physio per my doctor's recommendation with mixed results. Turns out, I needed some proper massage therapy to start getting back to feeling like myself again. From day 1 Lillin told me that I would need at least 3-5 sessions to work into the problem areas and probably maintenance after that because, apparently the 40s aren't always the new 20s. Anyway, long story short we are 4 sessions in and while I won't say I am 100% healed, I am feeling sooooo much better than I could have thought. I feel it every day in my daily work/life routines. We have more work to do and I will continue to trust and work with Lillin's healing touch. That's what she does, she listens, makes honest recommendations, works hard and helps people feel better, at least has for me. Her space is relaxing and quiet and functional because that's what she needs to apply her craft. Thanks Lillin. read more

A Healing Touch By Lilin - Welcoming treatment room decor - Massage Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

See all

My shoulders would put a box of rice krispies to shame, but just a 90 minute sports massage actually gave me a noticeable increase in flexibility. I've never had a sports massage before, but Lilin's expertise is obvious. She is skilled, knowledgeable, and very professional, but she is also a lovely, pleasant person, which is a bonus when you're spending 90 minutes with someone. Worth every penny, but don't expect to relax. You'll hurt in all the best ways and you'll leave in much better shape. Cannot recommend enough! read more

I didn't know what a great massage was before meeting Lilin. She's a great professional and the place is super clean. I've been coming for a few years and I definitely recommend. read more

"A Healing Touch By Lilin" is a professional massage therapy service owned and operated by Lilin and she's certified. I don't believe there's any "walk-in's" so you should call to make an appointment. Her business card even states "appointments only." There in an online booking system on her website, making it very convenient. This is a professional service, NOT to be confused by the cheaper (you get what you pay for) alternatives and/or those accupressure or sketchy erotic massage parlors. It's easy to be confused in an industry filled with so many competitors, yet many offering something totally different. If you're looking for something else other than a massage, I'd say move on and keep looking elsewhere. LILIN is legitimate and her massage business is the real deal. She's available for both Men or Women. This is a blissful experience. It starts with a nice waiting room area and then continues into a private room. She has a very clean bathroom in her facilities with nice decor. The front door remains locked for privacy and security purposes, creating a very relaxing environment too. Because when you book "A Healing Touch By Lilin" you are treated by Lilin, and get her undivided attention. She does not hire assistants or have random staff service multiple clients/customers. That's the beauty, if you love Lilin, you'll always get Lilin. A friend of mine goes to Lilin once a week, and is being treated for shoulder injury, all while being pregnant, so Lilin has been very careful in handling her care, yet providing blissful service which my friend feels a whole lot better after each session. My friend's been to acupuncturists, physical therapy sessions, random massage treatments, home remedies, etc., and says Lilin has by far been the best providing the greatest results of soothing the pain filled areas and providing that temporary relief which hopefully leads to eventual rehabilitation. She said she's looking forward to a more relaxing full body massage in the horizon. I met Lilin and she's a very sincerely sweet and kind person with a dynamic personality as well as being very professional. She has excellent customer care. I'd consider this a cute boutique with very serene decor that's relaxing and calming, the perfect environment for a massage. She takes appointments through the evening and early nighttime, which makes it convenient for customers who work and want to schedule something after work. She has a new business referral program where she'll credit customers for bringing in new clients/customers. You can also buy a gift card here to give a thoughtful present of a massage session or sessions for a friend, family member, business associate or loved one. Parking is very easy here, it's on PCH (after Sepulveda turns into Pacific Coast Highway, south of Artesia Blvd). read more

Lilin is a fantastic massage therapist! She tailors the massage to your specific needs. I will keep going back and recommend that you do as well! read more

Lilin has changed my life. I came to her about 8 months ago after years of stress and tension in my neck, shoulders, and back. I was constantly injuring myself because I was so tight. Lilin truly offers massage therapy and heals you. If you're looking for more than just a spa massage experience, this is the place to go. I've been going regularly and visiting Lilin has become part of my lifestyle. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get long-term benefits out of their massage experience. She is the best! read more

Lilin, you are absolutely amazing!!!! not only a great massage therapist, but the space you've created and your personal touch are fantastic! I had my first ever prenatal massage with Lilin and it was not only the best prenatal one, but the best massage I've ever gotten! I wasn't sure what to expect for my first prenatal, but Lilin made it so calming and explained everything well. Her setup for any massage is wonderful since she's the only therapist and it's calm and peaceful. Her space is wonderful and calming, smells great, and she has a mini water fountain and music playing softly to offset the car sounds from the street. It was wonderful to be able to be ushered into such a peaceful space, no rushing in and rushing out. Lilin herself has such a great calming personality. She explains how everything goes and how to situate yourself in the strange face down pregnancy pillow she uses. We chatted a bit too about pregnancy and other things which usually no massage therapist does. They usually rush you out or just answer glibly. She took such good care of me and made the experience wonderful. The prenatal massage itself is entirely worth it and more! The aches and pains of a preggo lady in the third trimester are really no joke. Treat yourself at this time and come to Lilin! She really works out all the kinks and I felt like a limp noodle afterwards. A very happy, relaxed one! If everyone would come to Lilin then driving in LA would be a lot better experience. I only wish I could have teleported home and not gotten in my car. Parking wise I didn't have issues since I left with plenty of time. The parking area only has 4 spots though. I came midday on a weekday and made sure my appointment time would allow for street parking on PCH if the parking lot was full. No parking on PCH starts at 3. Neighborhood streets behind the plaza also are available but you have to drive in through 24th I believe. Just give yourself extra time so there's no stress before your massage! I also liked that she locked the door for safety and privacy. There's nothing worse than getting a massage and hearing someone walk in and interrupt your session. Come visit Lilin (when I'm not visiting of course) and give yourself a wonderful relaxing massage. You won't regret it! read more

If you are looking for a spa treatment that only gives superficial "massages" to pamper yourself with, then this is not the place for you. Lilin works wonders by providing different types of massages to reduce pain and stress. There is nowhere else to look other than getting a massage from Lilin! My mom and I are both healthcare workers and we've been experiencing so much back pain and tightness from long hours of work and commuting. Lilin knew exactly what to do and delivered above and beyond our expectations! She made sure to exert much effort on each areas of the body to relieve muscle tightness. I also loved how she gives free hot stone massage on your first appointment! We came out feeling refreshed and less stiff. We will definitely keep coming back! read more

10 stars if I could rate this experience! Although Lilin didn't have any openings shown on her online schedule tonight, she was sweet enough to fit me in for my first massage with her! She had never met me and had no reason to do me a favor on a late Sunday night but she did! That already shows you her generous nature! This massage was the BEST MASSAGE I've ever received! (And trust me, I rarely have favorites or get super excited about anything :P). I love, love, love deep tissue massages and very few people can give a great one but she got into all tense areas and worked my knots out. I feel so much more relaxed and loose. You know it's a great massage when it hurts a little but that's how I like it; and she delivered!! Also, your first time with her you can ask for a complimentary hot stone add-on to your massage and you definitely need to do it because it made the experience 10x better! It warms up the areas prior to her massaging those muscles and when she lays it around your neck, it feels AMAZING with the eucalyptus scent. It is so relaxing. I'm sad that I will be moving away from this area but I think I'll still be commuting this way once a month, at least, for her massage! Definitely recommend her for a great deep tissue! And...If you want a soft gentle massage, there's plenty of places who'll take your money for little effort ;) so I don't understand why someone's complained about her giving them pain lol. Prior to starting, she reminded me to let her know if the pressure was too much and also, checked in with me during to ensure she wasn't too aggressive. read more

A Healing Touch By Lilin - The door to enter, in a small plaza that looks like a hotel. - Massage Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Lilin does a great massage. Thank you for your service over the years, I enjoyed your service

I have had years of massage therapy, working with many different masseuses in different styles of body work. In all of my experiences, Lilin's expertise stands alone. I first booked an appointment with Lilin well over a year and a half ago when I was experiencing persistent lower back pain. Seeing her twice monthly not only relieved the pain, but kept me out of it while I continued working in a challenging occupational setting. She is truly the best of the best, and everyone I have referred to her has had the same glowing review. Thank you Lilin! read more

I have been searching for a massage therapist for over a decade. Lilin is the first I have ever gone back to as a repeat client. Many people say that can do a deep tissue massage, but I've found that not to be the case. Lilin is a miracle worker. She is not focused on the gimmicks and the pampering. She truly is able to mitigate the tension and pain. I told her my general areas of discomfort and she was able to pinpoint every single spot during my first visit. She knew exactly where they were. It blew my mind. If you have extreme tension/knots like I do, the first one is quite painful but the relief after is amazing. Also, her technique with using the hot stones is a game changer. I won't do a massage without them. So happy I found her! read more

I've come to Lilin twice now. Sometimes I'd get headaches on the temples of my head and pain killers just weren't doing the trick. I scheduled a massage with Lilin which immediately relieved the tension in my neck and upper back which was attributing to the headaches. She added hot stones which is complementary for first time guests. It really made the difference and I made sure to add it during my 2nd visit. Lilin is by reservation only but worth the patience. read more

Can't recommend enough! Note it's a smallish parking area, but I've never had issues. The door for the entrance is on bottom floor. I didn't notice a doorbell, but she was quick to respond to knocking. Please note. Shoes off upon entry. It's a modest independent business with just Lilin but there's a reason she has clients that will always continue to go back! This is not a spa type massage, although I did fall asleep at one point, but the main thing she is great at is deep tissue, helping pain management areas (in my case due to sitting too much) and prenatal after first trimester without the traditional too soft type of massage. Highly recommend the investment! read more

The best massage I've ever had. Lilin was very kind and got to every knot on my back. Definitely will be coming back for another. My favorite part was the hot stone massage. Never felt so relaxed. read more

Such a great experience ! Lilin makes you feel so welcomed and makes sure to get a very good idea of what works best for your body! I'm so grateful and very much recommend her !!! read more

I literally just left from Lilin's and my prenatal massage was beyond amazing! I found her on yelp because I was in need of a massage because pregnancy can kick your butt at times. I am so HAPPY I came to her because she knows what she is doing! I had a knot in each of my shoulders and let's say she wasn't playing about getting them out. Ouch! Lol but it's so worth it because I know it's going to help me feel better. I'm definitely coming back and booking my next session now. I promise you won't be disappointed read more

WOW! LILIN IS AMAAAZING! Some back story... my joints and muscles were aching. It had been a while since my last massage... at least 3 mo's. I work out and do cardio a lot. My muscles were KNOTTED UP! So tense. I looked on Yelp to see the top in the area. Lilin has an impressive review history. 5 stars 100+ reviews. I was curious and read more into other people's' experiences. Most reviewers had great experiences. I had to see for myself! I booked an appointment (booking only, no walk-ins) on the scheduling service through Yelp and it even saved me $15 on my massage (convenience)! There was an apt available for the very next day at 4pm during the evening. I showed up 10 mins early. Parking was readily available. Lilin greeted me and welcomed me to her establishment. I filled out quick paperwork to let her know my problem areas and she guided me to the massage room. I got 90 min massage bc I really needed the work done thoroughly. My my, the ambience in side was amazing. Everything is so thought out, Lilin really deserves the credit. From the location to the ambiance and decorations, she has it all on point. Nice soft music, live water fountain in the background, dim lights. Very attentive to detail. She included hot stones in the treatment and really dug in to those tense areas! Loosened me up. I feel brand new!! You know there's a huge difference in a less expensive massage from beginner/intermediate masseuses to a veteran. You get what you pay for!!! Lilin has years of experience and knows exactly how to identify and treat your problem areas. One massage was plenty! I'll be back within the next few weeks. You will not get cured with one massage but I assure you it goes a looong way! To have no more knots in your legs and back, and have full flexibility in your workouts. Worth it. Definitely worth it. Make sure you sign up on her digital calendar to save yourself some time and money! It's super efficient. read more

I've been going to Lilin for the past year, and she's great. I looked for a long time for a decent massage therapist around hermosa and manhattan beach, and tried at least 6 or 7 different places. Lilin is the best. She really works out the kinks and knots, and her studio is quiet and clean. Once I discovered her, I haven't been to any other therapist since. Her location has a few tiny quirks that you just have to know about before going - one, she keeps the door locked up until your appointment time, for the safety of her clients inside. Apparently she's not allowed to post a sign saying so, so the first time I tried to open the door 5 minutes early and no one answered, I was a little worried. Just stick around - once she's done with her client, she'll be open the door. The other quirk is that the parking lot for her studio is small. I've never actually had a problem parking there, but apparently this was an issue for a few yelp reviewers. However it's not her fault - she can't control the parking lot for the building lol. read more

I had such amazing pre-natal massages with Lilin that I've continued to see her after the kid arrived - and I'm not sure if it's possible but the experience is even better so I thought I owed her an updated review. If only there were 6 stars! Things I love about Lilin: 1) She gives the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot over the years!) 2) She is the only therapist at her practice so you always get Lilin and therefore the highest quality. 3) Her booking system - that sounds crazy but I love it - I don't have to call and wait for her to have time in her very busy schedule to get back to me. I just log in, pick the massage I want (120min combination is my favourite) and it shows me each time slot available on any given day. Plus she has a 7pm slot which is rare. 4) Hot Stones - previously I have found these completely pointless, a bit like they are laying them on your back for a photo shoot. Lilin has teflon hands and actually holds the hot stones and uses them to really get deep into your muscles - bliss! 5) Her studio always has parking and is lovely and relaxing inside. Go! You won't regret it. read more

I've had professional massages before, but nothing like this. Lilin was the real deal, legit. The building is unassuming and I can see how parking might be an issue... but once you're inside you're immediately calm. She climbed on the table, stretched me, used hot stones, asked me how the pressure was, pulled me and twisted me... wow. I can't say enough great things about her work! I did the 90 minute combination massage and I'll be going back for sure. I highly recommend her. read more

Very rude. I don't understand how they have 5 stars. I tried to make an appointment she was like no no no. Omg very unpleasant and unprofessional! read more

I wish I could give Lilin 10 STARS! Lilin is a clear master in her skill. She is extremely professional, kind, and highly skilled. Without a doubt the best massage I have ever had. She was able to work out all the knots in my back and greatly help with my sciatica pain. From now on I will only go to Lilin for massages and will recommend her to friends and family. I am already looking forward to booking with her again. Thank you Lilin! read more

I am still floating from my massage. Miss Lilin has a magic touch and an attention to detail that I have not experienced in a very long while from a massage therapist. It was probably the best massage I've received in South Bay. She sat down and spoke to me candidly about my concerns prior to being showed into the therapy room and boy did she listen! My problem areas were exactly where she concentrated while still delivering an incredible full body massage. (Hot stones=game changer) I felt the time was really catered specifically to me and easing my tensions and that is a special gift for a service provider to make each client feel like an individual and special. I am a hands down convert!!! And not to associate with the negative whilst still smiling from the good vibes and on my positive experience, but Jeff L. below who reviewed this establishment as a single star... what a shame, he probably missed out on what could have been the best massage of his life. Too bad he can't read. read more

A Healing Touch By Lilin - Massage Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

So you are browsing Yelp for a massage but you usually to spa chains to get a massage - I am glad you decided to fix your mistake and check out Lilin. This is the best massage I have ever gotten - I spent years bouncing between gyms, spas, and massage chains and nothing compares to Lilin's technique and attention to detail. Since I started coming to Lilin I have not seen another CMT. Not convinced yet? Almost all my friends and family see Lilin. Still not sure? I included her services in my company's employee wellness package. One other piece of advice: Book on her website and save yourself some $$$. read more

Lilin is absolutely a great massage therapist. Having a desk job for the past 2 years and stopping my exercise routine really set me up for terrible chronic muscle tension and fatigue. I bought myself a massage chair and other tools but nothing worked the way I needed it to work. I then decided it was time to see a professional. I found Lilin on Yelp and from reading reviews, I knew I had to see her. I tend to be a very anxious person, but Lilin made sure I was comfortable and it felt like a safe place to start my journey to destress and care for my body. Around August 2021, I started seeing her every week for 1 month. Then I continued to see her every other week. The first couple massages were very painful due to all the tension and knots she had to work on. After just the first massage, I was able to feel such a difference in my body. I was able to roll my neck back and side to side without hearing crackling and I felt like I could take deeper breaths. From not being able to stand or sit for too long, I am now able to stand for longer periods of time without feeling like I'll break in half due to muscle exhaustion. I must say that for me, a massage from Lilin is not a 'want' but a 'NEED.' I absolutely recommend Lilin to anyone who needs a reset. Now go on and book your first massage & don't forget to add hot stones! They take muscle relaxation to the next level. read more

I didn't get the warm feeling upon arrival everyone is talking about. I went in for a prenatal massage. It was mediocre. I left with pain on my right side. That is all. read more

I've been going to Lilin for about a year now on the recommendation of several friends who had been to see her. I was on the lookout for someone who could give a very firm (but not painful massage). Lots of massage therapists aren't able to provide this with all the other clients they see throughout the day. Lilin definitely delivers! It doesn't matter if you're her first client or her last. She has the energy, strength and endurance to ensure you get some relief. Her specialty is on upper body and neck/shoulders area with hot stones. She has a unique hot stone approach where she uses them to release muscular tension so she can give a deeper massage. They don't just sit on top of your skin - she gives them a relaxing and important purpose that's integrated into the massage. I was tentative about the stones as I really want a deep massage for pain relief but I'm so glad I tried it on her recommendation. Very relaxing and I think it helps deepen the massage. My body feels so much more relaxed after seeing her. It's deeply important for Lilin to provide good customer service and to be flexible with her customers preferences and needs. I've witness this not only with myself but with other interactions with customers. Lilin takes personal pride in giving people physical relief from pain and doing a good job. I feel good about supporting her small business which really helps my chronic muscular tension as a result of several health issues. Thanks to Lilin for her dedication to helping others and providing a warm, inviting, relaxing massage experience!! See you again soon. read more

Recent Facebook memory reminded me that it's been a whole year since I first starting coming regularly to see Lilin. Time to update my review! I have shoulder, neck, and upper back issues, due to my occupation. Even when I practice with proper posture I still need my back adjusted regularly. Lilin is always able to zero-in to my problem areas and work out my knots, all in one hour's worth! I instantly feel relaxed whenever I walk into her room. The clean smell of mint and eucalyptus, the water fountain, and the peaceful sound of whales in the background really spell out tranquility. I've tried other "spas" for their massages. I've paid thousands to get deep tissue massages over the past few years since I started having issues. None compares to Lilin. I wished I had met her sooner. Thank you again and again, Lilin. I will be referring colleagues and friends! read more

Had a rough day that ended with Lilin making sure I was relaxed and stress-free! I'd been looking forward to my massage, having booked a few weeks in advance. But as (bad) luck would have it, that morning I ended up with a scheduling conflict, which meant I'd be late to my appointment. I called as soon as I found out to let her know and asked if it'd be possible to either push my appointment start time out 30 mins or reduce it by 30 mins. A few phone tag messages later (Lilin was in back to back sessions), she was not only able to accommodate me but was able to offer up my 30 mins to the prior client. A win-win-win situation! Really appreciate her working with me with only a few hours' notice, and for being so responsive and understanding. I arrived all stressed out but walked on clouds when I left! read more

I just had the most amazing massage of my life. It was a combination thai massage and deep tissue. Lilin knew exactly where I needed work even when I didn't know. She also stretched me which normally I don't care for and it was amazing. I will go back! read more

Lilin is a master of her craft. Ever since first discovering her on Yelp at the beginning of this year, I have not missed a single month for the opportunity to schedule another massage. Her combination massage seems to tease out even the most tenacious of knots. When I was weightlifting more frequently, the combination stretch for my glutes was perfect for recovering after some heavy squats. Most of the time I come in for a deep tissue massage, and can't get enough of it. Sometimes you can get a practitioner of deep tissue who is too rough, but Lilin seems to intuitively know the perfect amount of pressure and attacks the really bad knots from many different angles, always doubling back to a sensitive area after some time somewhere else. I only wish I could come more often! read more

Lilin is such a gifted massage therepist. I love receiving massages by her. If your considering to book a massage, DO IT.... you won't regret it. I've been going to her since I was pregnant two years ago and I feel so blessed to have found her. My fiancé found her as a surprise birthday gift for me and it's been a gift that keeps on giving. She can give amazing relaxing massages. Whether Its a pregnancy massage or regular massage. I love her deep tissue massages as well. She can really connect to my muscles needs and help facilitate my body to release stress. My perfect day would include a massage from Lilin. Blessing, Theresa read more

Best prenatal massage therapist ever!! I'm use to getting deep tissue and thai massages and I thought my massage days were over after I got pregnant. I had some bad experiences with other places. I felt that most prenatal massage places didn't really "massage" at all, but rather just spent an hour doing light sweeping motions (UGH!). Lilin does NOT do that, but rather really gets into all the sore muscles to make you feel restored and rejuvenated. My husband actually found Lilin on yelp with the great reviews and booked the massage for me. I was skeptical at first, but after my session with Lilin, I wish I had found her earlier in my pregnancy!! She worked through all my kinks and really got all the knots out (while keeping me in a safe position for me and my baby). I highly recommend Lilin for anyone who has had mediocre massages elsewhere.. Once you try her, you won't want to go anywhere else. She really is amazing!! I visited her a month ago before I went on vacation and now that I'm back, I'm looking forward to making another appointment!! ^_^ read more
