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!

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!!!

It smelled so good when I walked in and the gals at the front desk were very nice. When I filled out my new client form I got to sit in the cute waiting room. Afterwards I was able to pick out the different combinations of scents to go into my lotion. I chose to have Lisa do my massage. I got the 80 minute 5 senses massage. Lisa had great reviews, so I felt like I would be in good hands. She made sure my bed was nice and warm when I first laid down. She was very thorough asking about the sort of pressure I needed and any additional special requests. I have really bad knees, so she worked around them and her pressure was just perfect with all of the areas she massaged. I loved getting my hands and feet wrapped and the heated neck rest was really a nice touch. I walked out of there feeling like I was on a cloud. Lisa is the best! I'll definitely be back.

Lori's technique was wonderful - very deliberate and skilled, and both of our massage's were relaxing & relieved so much of my upper back/neck tension. She is a talented and experienced masseuse & knows what she is doing! Her office had a wonderful calm vibe, it was super clean, and Lori herself has a really warm, confident, welcoming personality.
