The spaces looked clean, smelled good and had a relaxing vibe. Overall it was a good experience that I recommend. Everyone should at some point have a spa day.

I'm used to getting massages at actual spas so this was a horrifyingly terrible experience. I…read morescheduled a Swedish massage with hot stones for myself and a deep tissue with hot stones for my husband. We when arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes which wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the employees whispering and peaking around the corner at us while we were in the lobby. They put us in a room together which we didn't ask for, like a couples massage, they just assumed. I asked for the masseuse to be more gentle when she started and I'm not sure if she understood me well because she wasn't that gentle. The worst part was the hot stones. They were too hot for the masseuse the handle but they tried to put them on us anyway. We had to have them remove it on our bill because they were too hot to put them on anybody or anything! They even left burn marks on my back. The spa is also covered in dust, the fish tank is disgustingly filthy, and had a musty smell in the rooms. They also refused to give a refund for the horrible service that was provided. The owner and employees will not take responsibility for their actions and inactions (see the owners response below). I have also updated my pictures with timestamps of the burn in question. I still have the mark 2 weeks later and it didn't show up right away, before we left the spa. I am also not from California nor do I live there to have the time to go back. I would never recommend this place.

Stephanie is an absolute legend!…read more Based on my experiences (two ashiatsu and one fusion, so far) I feel she is genuinely interested in finding exactly what her clients need and acts on those needs with a quiet confidence and strength that comes from conscious practice and a solid sense of connection with her client. I have some long term sports injuries/traumas that have hardened up in my older age (thanks to my invincible younger self!) and her ability to dig in to those as deeply as they need without anything snapping back through the movements is testament to how well she understands pressure modulation and control of the body. I have had found great massage therapists over the last twenty to thirty years and she is absolutely the best I have found. In short, I'm a big fan and I will be keeping regular visits as part of my healing journey!

Her technique was by far the best I have experienced in San Diego! She did a combination of Tui Nai with balanced deeper pressure and relaxing to help me destress and unwind.

He always knows exactly what to do and where my body needs to release. The fascia release work he does is incredible. I've had some of the most intense healings in my life happen on James's table. He is also greatly in tune with energy and how the body and energy field work together. As an energy healer, that's really important to me. As I said to James, he is an integral piece of my healthcare. I can't go too long without a session from him. James thank you for caring so deeply about your clients and offering your incredible expertise to the world. We're lucky to have you.

During the bodywork sessions, he becomes very intuned with your body. He will ask you questions to address any sensations felt during a specific technique and will explain how the technique may benefit you. His hands are a perfect combination of strength and sensitivity. Since James has been been treating patients for a very long time, he is very knowledgeable with various methods. He is on a continuous journey of enlightenment and spends time attending classes and seminars to educate himself. Highly Recommended!

I didn't have a good experience here…read more First I asked for female staff. The owner was very gamey over the phone, he told me they did. When I got to the room, I was expecting a woman since he never disclosed to me... that they only have a man here named Kevin working. I also had to pay $60 BEFORE, I got services which is truly wild. Kevin, seems like a great man. I kept saying "please don't do that" "go softer" "be careful my shoulder" and he just kept saying "don't worry" and proceeded. Overall I was uncomfortable. I needed self care and now I feel worse. As I was walking out and said goodbye they both said "are you not going to tip?" I was baffled.

You can book online and pay online, depending on the time of day, there is decent street parking around.

My shoulder was bothering me and the massage was exactly what I needed. Definitely returning here :) Highly recommend!

The room I was in appeared redone, not the same color as the lobby. I guess there was a change of ownership so it's a work in progress.

If you go, I highly recommend Christina! Tell her you saw the Yelp review .
