Marisa is AMAZING. Kind, thoughtful, calming, and she genuinely cares about you having a good experience. Her services have relieved my body and mind of so much stress. She is a lifesaver. She makes sure to ask if you have any specific you want worked on. The vibe of the room is amazing and so relaxing. read more

Marisa gave me the best massage of. My. Dang. Life. I am a mom to a two year old who doesn't let me put her down and this was THE massage I have been deeply needing for over two years. She worked out knots that other massage therapists and a physical therapist weren't able to get out. In 60 minutes! She also gave me a little easy neck exercise to do to help prevent it getting bad again. I felt cared for and comfortable and I already can't wait to go back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I also have gotten facials from Courtney before and she is also wonderful!!!! She does an amazing job and my skin is always SO much better afterward. She counseled me afterward on some skin tips that I still think of and keep in mind daily! Marisa and Courtney are the dream team. The space is super cute and relaxing and just the best vibes. Could not recommend more!!! read more

Lovely massage from Marissa. Clean, quiet space, easy street parking, excellent massage. She asked the right questions before starting to understand my needs and preferences, and delivered just what I needed. read more

Marisa is absolutely the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. She has such a warm healing energy, and takes such care to select products and create a peaceful atmosphere in the room before I even arrive. I always feel deeply relaxed and experience a meditative state. I purchased a 90 minute monthly massage membership for myself (and one for my partner!) - it is truly amazing deal for such a renewing experience. We both have many years of experiences with massage therapists, and yet agree Marisa is the best! read more

I have had three decades of getting massage experience! I can honestly say hands-down Marissa was the best massage experience I've ever had. She has magic hands and I highly recommend. read more

Lexi was amazing! She did a beautiful job with my lash lift, it looks very natural. She is very sweet and the whole experience was relaxing. Best of all the solutions for the lift didn't bother my very sensitive eyes and skin. Highly recommend! read more

This place has 5-star reviews for a reason! Last weekend I needed a 90 min massage after a tough work week. My shoulders, neck and head hurt from the stress, so I added on the scalp treatment. Marisa was my masseus, and she did a wonderful job. She was caring and made my entire experience peaceful and calm. She was so great that halfway through the massage I forgot where I was (almost fell asleep!). Overall, the service was what I needed. Great location to take a nice walk afterward and grab food. The lobby and room was clean and peaceful. read more

The best massage ever!!! My friend Kate gave me a gift certificate for an hour and half massage and wow!!! Courtney has strong and intuitive hands and rubbed out all of my many knots Nice quiet clean zen spa. She also uses super nice lotion's and oils all organic. Strongly recommend!! read more

A girlfriend of mine had a couples massage booked here however her hubby back out last minute... his loss, my gain :) Located in Encinitas, blocks away from the ocean is this massage haven. Located on the second level of the 960 building, stairs are on the side, fyi. Walk inside to a beach cottage themed with a homey feel office. Two rooms with a massage table are located to the right. Courtney (who did my massage) and the other therapist were friendly and professional from the get go. We filled out a short questionnaire and back we went to our own rooms. The bed was soft and cushy with yummy smelling sheets. A plus! Courtney asked what I wanted, deep tissue on my back, and got to work. Pressure was great, knots were worked out, and the oil used was yummy smelling. Her hands never left my back even as she was moving around the room. We finished with an exfoliating scrub on my legs/feet (part of the certificate deal my friend had... it smelled so good and was Dermacologica so I purchased a bottle myself)! My friend and I both left in a happy daze, as the massage put us in a state of utter relaxation. Just remember happy couples... you can get massaged at the same time however not in the same room. read more

I received a gift card to this place I didn't even know existed, and am so happy I got to try it! I was able to book online right away, and had a great massage with Michelle. She really listened to what I wanted and customized my massage - not a "one size fits all" experience I usually get at larger franchises. Plus the spa's ambiance is nice, like a cute little cottage. read more

I went in for an "Organic Facial" treatment today with Lexi. I have very sensitive skin and often leave other place red and inflamed for a bit but this is my second visit with Lexi and I have no redness at all My skin looks and really feels amazing. After my facial Lexi did a massage on my shoulders and neck and I was in heaven. I am going back in 4 weeks and am already looking forward to it. The spa is clean and very relaxing. Due to Covid restrictions you should bring a light blanket. read more

This place is cute and Courtney was a great masseuse. She used just the right amount of pressure and also used a neck warmer. I was very pleased overall with my massage and look forward to the next one. The only thing that prevents me from giving this place 5 stars is that I would hear the wood floor creaking as people walked by outside and towards the end someone had a loud child in the lobby. That's not Courtney's fault by any means but I would have thought another staff member would have let the father know that there are massages in progress and moved him into another room or out of the immediate area. read more

Coco is the absolute best. Her facials and massages are something that can't be beat! We are from up north and every time we come down to San Diego we schedule something with her. Would recommend her to anyone! Super professional, wonderful services, and awesome pricing!!! read more

Socorro was the bombdigity! I had a fabulous massage. Her technique was her own signature blend of wonderful. She's very healing and was attentive to my needs, both stated and not. She's very intuitive. I'm happy to recommend her. read more

When people ask where to go for an incredible massage I can finally give them an answer! Courtney is amazing. Such a different experience than those big chain massage places. No sales pitch just highly skilled talent. I can't wait to try their other services! read more

I received the best massage I've ever gotten from Kristina! My first time here was after I received a groupon as a gift and I really lucked out. The office itself is so cute, located on the second floor of a small building. A block off the 101, it's just close enough to grab a coffee nearby and undo all of the wonderful relaxation ;) An hour long massage flew by, and I don't know how she does it but I swear it's like she has 3 arms. I will definitely be back for another massage! read more

The lady was nice, but seemed very inexperienced. Which makes me nervous because I'm already very self conscious about my eyebrows. She didn't seem very confident in her ability to wax. I got my eyebrows, nose, upper and lower lip done. I will not be going back. The quality of work does not match the price point at all. Very disappointed. read more

Beautiful experience. On time, clean, professional, friendly and competent! what more canyon ask for? Pia was my masseuse and she was fantastic. She hit every mark and more. I can't wait to come back, thank you! read more

My brow shaping and makeup consultation with Lexi was eye opening! I loved her technique, application, and recommendations. I look forward to returning for other treatments. read more

My friend and I got massages at Breathe last weekend and we were super impressed. Courtney worked on me and was awesome. I asked for her to focus on my neck, upper back and other stress areas.... She was right on! She also educated me on where I "hold" stress and ways I can improve my health moving forward. Small simple tasks but a great reminder... Courtney also gave me excellent skin care advice. Being new to the SD area, my skin reacted to the dry desert air and new climate in an unfavorable manner. She gave me advice and samples to help clear and moisturize my skin. UNBELIEVABLE... the Dermalogica samples she gave me worked in hours. It was like magic. Thank you, Courtney! Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Breathe and specifically with Courtney. Very neat and cute place. Highly recommend. read more

Always a pleasure to see Courtney for a much needed facial. Breathe is following all the safety Covid protocols allowing for a relaxing, safe and secure visit. She was able to fit me in quickly with a last minute cancellation and working within my schedule parameters. And my skin has never felt so good! read more

Located a just block from the beach in Encintas, Breathe Health & Wellness was a retreat without leaving my home town! What to ask for - The 60 minute facial was awesome and the product they used was really nice. Coco is also a massage therapist so I would imagine the massage would be nice too. I also got a brow wax and that was quick and painless - like pulling off a bandaid ;) It was overall a relaxing experience with the decor, music, soft linens and dim lighting And on a plus I didnt break out!!! What to wear - Comfortable clothes but know that you will need to put on a little gown on top so you dont ruin your clothes...you can dress down to your undies if you want to get really comfortable! When to go - Make an appointment but she was very flexible when I scheduled my appointment. Other comments - After your appointment head down to Coast Highway and grab something to eat! There is a great place one block south east of the spa that had great apps. read more

Breathe is amazing!! I've been wanting to try this place for so long and finally had the BEST facial with Erin. Very intimate setting, and we actually went overtime a bit which was awesome considering they were providing the full relaxing experience. I will be back regularly, and can't wait to try other services. I highly recommend to everyone!! read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not usually a big fan of massages, it has probably been like 3 years since my last one... but after suffering some pretty severe back spasms at work I decided it was probably time to get some professional help. I was told about Breathe by a guy I surf with and decided to schedule an appointment. I made a 1.5 hour appointment with Kate and I have admit.... I'm a changed man. Kate took the time to listen to what the problem was, and spent about 45 minute working out multiple knots in my lower back and relieving tension buildup in my shoulders and neck... I feel incredible, and I am definitely going back for a follow up.. all the staff is very professional and knowledgeable and Kate is incredible. I would totally recommend. read more

All I can say about Jamie at Breathe is how wonderful she is! Not only does she offer great skincare, she is lovely to talk to and makes you feel right at home. The therapy room is cute and relaxing, and her treatment was awesome. The foot and head massage were an added bonus! If you want a great facial in an enjoyable relaxing atmosphere, go see Jamie! read more

I bought a living social 75 minute massage with foot treatment, aromatherapy and hot stone add ons. Kaya did my massage. The massage was okay; the pressure was perfect but I felt like she didn't really address the knots on my back/shoulders. She would just go around knots instead of massaging them away and that's why she loses a star. I didn't even notice the aromatherapy. I was starting to contemplate my review in my head and then the massage started to get way better. The hot stones were great and the foot treatment was amazing! I also loved that she put a warm neck pillow on me when I was face up and she has the eye mask for your face. I felt so incredibly relaxed at the end of my massage that I no longer cared that she hadn't addressed my knots. read more

Outstanding massage from Kaya. I left feeling restored and all my knots and kinks were completely gone (no easy feat).

I have been coming here for several years for massage and have been recommending it for just as long. The space is cozy and relaxing and Courtney is very good at intuiting what the body needs and facilitating healing. read more

Breathe is a wonderful place for massages and facials. I especially love Courtney, though the other massage therapists I've seen have also been great. The services are fabulous and the spa itself is cute, relaxing and super comfortable. read more

This is my 2nd time. I went when they first opened and now. Both times with a Living Social deal (since that's how I book most of my massages). This time was 75 minutes of relaxation and bliss. The aromatherapy, hot stones and foot treatment are worth going back for! I specified my shoulders as the trouble spot and felt the emphasis places on both. The location is easy to access with parking. It is clean and as cute as it needs to be. read more

Breathe Health and Wellness is my favorite place to go for massage or facial. Courtney is amazing for either service, and at Breathe, they really pay attention to details and little extras that make you feel so spoiled. The space is beautiful, inviting and relaxing. You will feel pampered, relaxed and totally taken care of when you come here. read more

First off let me say I get a lot of massages and have been all over San Diego- from La Costa Spa ($165) to Massage Envy and I have to say that this was one of the best massages I have every had! Way BETTER than La Costa! Courtney is VERY professional and just plain wonderful! The price is EXTREMELY reasonable and she returns phone calls very quickly. I will definitely keep going here! read more

Socorro is the best- so caring and really focuses on what the client needs. I totally recommend her.

I had an amazing hour massage and foot treatment with Kaya. She was very friendly and the massage was wonderful. She relaxed me from head to toe and I left feeling rejuvenated and my skin felt incredibly soft. Would definitely recommend Kaya. read more

got a deal from Travel Zoo for a facial and it was the best facial I ever had! Courtney was excellent and has amazing hands! I would definately save up and go back to her, it was worth it and much more!! read more

Kaya is really nice and friendly. She has a very down to earth vibe and will make you feel comfortable. The music in the room is perfect and you'll come out feeling like jello. The place is pretty easy to find, right off PCH and there's usually plenty of street parking. Pretty cool little place! read more

Courtney is amazing. I've had facials a lot of places and hers are by far the most relaxing and advantageous to my skin. I had her do my eyelashes just before I went on vacation a few weeks ago and they came out gorgeous and still look great. I highly recommend her. She is also very responsive when you call and a super-nice person on top of it all. read more

I had an hour session with Kate and she was amazing. I have chronic back pain from sleeping wrong and she took care of me! Very sweet and made me feel comfortable. She was careful with my knots and always made sure the pressure was deep but delicate. I will be returning soon. read more

Our favorite local spot for a facial, massage, and the best brow bar in Encinitas! So cute and clean - a must visit. Check it out!

I am a spa regular - have experienced massages and facials at any number of top level locations as well as small owner-operated facilities.Of course Breathe Health does not have the amenities of a spa like Burke Williams or that of a four-star / five-star hotel. However, it is nicely decorated, wonderfully situated in downtown Encinitas, immaculate, professional and has a wonderful, peaceful vibe. I've gone twice using vouchers purchased through Discover SD and am going back soon - well worth paying full price to receive caring and knowedgeable treatment by Courtney or Kaya. They both know their stuff and Courtney does wonderful work even when faced with a client with challenged (read: aging, rosacea-prone) skin. read more
