Antonia gave me hands-down the BEST massage I've ever had, in decades of massages. If I could give…read more10 stars, I would. I had heard many rave reviews about her in the LA massage community, but my experience surpassed even those! This was more than just a massage, this was like a spiritual experience, which might sound insane, but it's true. Her touch is not just a massage, it's deeply healing on an energetic level. She can intuitively sense what's going on inside you and work with the blockages behind the physical issues. She also has the gentlest, most soothing nature and voice. My overactive thinking brain was able to actually let go, and my body felt so safe that it unwound completely and I fell into an almost trance-like state afterward. If you're lucky enough to see her, you've hit the jackpot.

Antonia is an intuitive healer! I've been going to her for…read moremassages for almost a decade - even though I moved further away - she is like no other. She truly cares and it is felt in every touch. It can be a relaxing deep tissue massage and usually it's also an emotional release. Antonia has the capacity to work on deeper levels with no words needed. I feel lighter for days! Antonia takes great care, is highly skilled, and is a true energetic healer

Extraordinary! You will never, ever find a better therapeutic massage specialist than Denise, owner…read moreof "A Sanctuary for Healing." I have used her services for well over 15 years now, and will continue to do so for as long as she's in business. For nearly 40 years, I have had a very stressful job, which I manage through exercise, meditation, and therapeutic massage. Complaining to a friend about the inadequacy of those who billed themselves as massage professionals, she recommended me to and swore by "A Sanctuary for Healing." Acting upon her advise, I booked a 60 minute session. Welcoming me into her private Santa Monica studio, my 1st impression was how sweet, warm, & considerate was (and is) her demeanor. She instantly put me at ease, overcoming my anxiety at being in close quarters with a stranger. And, then something amazing took place because I learned what makes Denise so exceptional and frankly extraordinary is her mastery of Swedish/Esalen massage. She concludes the session with a focus on your head and scalp in the most amazing way - that alone is worth the price of admission. Though I try with all my might, I simply cannot express in words where I go when she uses her skills on me. Through her massage I am transported to a different universe; one I neither would nor could ever inhabit without her. All is peace and serenity and warmth. Her touch is strong but gentle, and her strokes languish on your body. A 60 minutes session seemed like an eternity. In a world that seems to get crazier by the day, a session at "A Sanctuary for Healing" transcends all your worldly concerns. At the conclusion of our now-90 minute sessions, I do not regret that my time with Denise is over, for the journey leaves me utterly and completely renewed. But what I do regret--until now--was not extolling to the world what a gift Denise is to her profession and to everyone fortunate enough to have been treated by her. After one session at "A Sanctuary for Healing," you shall return for another. This I guarantee.
