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.

Terrible massage and then forced to tip extra…read more Where to even start, horrible or no technique for the massage at all it was just random rubbing not intentional or intuitive. Most of the time she used no pressure and just grazed her hands over me, i dont actually know how someone could give a massage that felt so bad no only was it extremely light pressure somehow it was painful. She would be tugging and knocking and all sorts of things to compensate for the no pressure. It also felt like her hands were just going over my body no finger work or skill al. Also both me and my friend felt like the next day we felt worse than before our massage, back/neck pain wise like they used very improper technique The worst part: what completely took me out of spa mode. I tipped 20% and they demanded i tip more, it was very awkward and uncomfortable and i felt pressured to tip more even though we hated our massage.

Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends, but unfortunately had a really negative…read moreexperience. We booked the outdoor tub/ sauna room, as well as two massages. We hit a lot of traffic coming down from the Bay Area and were unfortunately running late to our massage appointments. While we understood that we couldn't expect our massages to be the full time as they were scheduled for appointments right after ours, we were still hoping to redeem part of our massage. Sammy who works at the front desk was especially poor in her customer service. ***Just an FYI (as it is not listed anywhere on their website or told over the phone when booking appointments as this is their only method of accepting appointments) the cancellation/ re-booking fee for a 50-minute massage is $100 (the full price of the massage is $125). We arrived 30 mins late to our appointments and they informed us that the massages would have been wrapping up around then so we weren't given the opportunity to squeeze in 20 minutes of a massage and were charged the $200 for the cancellation fee. Again, we understood that this is a small business and that we paid for the time that the masseuse was available, but the staff was extremely rude and unaccommodating. My friend had asked if we could reschedule one of the massages to an available slot that day, at 5pm, as she wanted to make sure I had a nice birthday experience but they informed us that that would also be a $100 charge. Overall to the staff at Well Within, I highly encourage you to post cancellation and re-scheduling fees on your website and update clear policies as I was unable to see any of this in writing. Unfortunately we will not be coming back, though there are a multitude of other wonderful spas in the area. Tea House is one of them!

I get massages pretty regularly (refuge, Monterey plaza etc), and this was one of the best I've had. Adrian had that perfect balance of pressure--strong enough to actually make a difference, but never crossing the line. He checked in a couple times without breaking the flow, and targeted the areas that have been tight. Easily a 10/10 and I'll definitely be booking with him again. As for the facilities, the staff were super welcoming and professional and everything was insanely clean/well maintained. My wife had a massage at the same time and her experience was the same. It's great to have a place in Santa Cruz at this level as I'm over driving to Monterey/Carmel for an amazing massage.

I recently injured my knee and she addressed my knee discomfort with the mind of structural integration helping me understand my body and how to use it better to both heal and not re-injure it.

I went in with seriously distressed shoulders stiffened by 6 months in a cervical collar, the result of a broken neck and subsequent fusion surgery. I asked Vanessa to feel her way through the difficult areas and do whatever she thought would give me relief and comfort. She did just that and I left feeling better than I had since long before my accident. I'll surely be back there to maintain and extend the areas of comfort and flexibility that Vanessa has provided. In case you didn't hear me the first time, let me finish by saying that you'll not get a better massage here in Santa Cruz or anywhere else.
