The cutest wellness spot! I came here with my mom and sisters for a wellness spa day. The ambience is so peaceful. The decor is so beautiful and they offer a great selection of holistic products available for purchase. We got massages and went in the sauna. The massage was so relaxing! After our sessions, we hung out in the garden and drank some tea by the fire. It was such a nice way to spend an afternoon. read more

Had such a great time here for my husband's birthday I booked us the sauna and cold plunge for about an hour I believe. The energy and vibe was great whole place smelled so calming. The sauna was so nice and the cold plunge refreshing. It was a great way to recoup after a busy and active week. The women who worked there were lovely and so kind very helpful. We got tea after which was so nice! read more

Den Mother Wellness - Welcoming @ Garden massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Venice, California

Such a great spa to come in for either "me" time or even to come with your friends. Service was amazing, and the garden is a true gem. Recommend the garden massage with ritual foot bath. Worth. Every. Penny. read more

I really adore the space at Den Mother. Not only is this one of my favorite areas to come for shopping and strolling, but a few feet off of a relatively busy street is an oasis that is ready to wisk you away. While I've only had one service done here, I plan to come back for a comprehensive health examine. Unfortunately, there was no availability the day my husband and I were there. I am also looking forward to returning for "keep your head". From the multiple lounge areas for relaxing post treatment, or simply to have a cup of herbal tea or delicious bites, the space was well thought out. I scored some really great items, including their addicting "by the fire" roll on and loose teas from wild & tea. Can't wait to return! read more

I came here to for a spa day with a girlfriend- we did the sauna and cold plunge for 30 min (nice because 2 people can split it), and then a 30 min garden foot massage. It is very pricey, $80 for just 30 min and if you get one hour, there is no discount. They also massage your shoulders and provide excellent service, and such relaxing vibes. Can't beat the vibes and the outdoor space. If it wasn't for the price, I would come back more often. read more

Selina was an awesome therapist for the 60 minute garden massage. Den Mother is quaint beautiful place to relax and rejuvenate.

We LOVED this spa! First off, we went pretty early (almost 20 minutes) because we were worried about traffic. They gave us a mini tour, offered us water and a nice place to relax until our spot was ready. We tried out the one hour sauna/ice bath. They gave us slippers and robes to help us get ready. My husband loves ice baths and went in for probably a good 20 minutes! I can't handle the super cold, so I basically only tried the ice bath on my legs and arms. The sauna was nice and relaxing. They also have a small shower on the side for you to rinse off before and after the ice bath/sauna. It's a cute spot and made us feel so relaxed. I highly recommend Den Mother Wellness! We will have to come back sometime soon! read more

My husband and I went here for our wedding anniversary this morning. We enjoyed a 60 minute Sauna and Cold Plunge experience. You walk in and they hand you a basket with a robe and slippers back to a beautiful open sitting area and cafe. We ordered some yummy hot tea and they showed us our enclosed area. An hour was a perfect amount of time to try the sauna and cold plunge out. We had a great experience and felt so relaxed afterwards. read more

This was my first time visiting Den Mother Wellness with a friend who was visiting from out of town! This place is such an OASIS tucked back directly off of Abbott Kinney. We went on a Sunday and surprisingly once you were inside you couldn't even tell you were on (let alone) near the business street in all of Venice. We signed up for a 30-min sauna session along with the garden massage experience. All of the employees we interacted with were super thoughtful. We experienced great customer service the entire time we were there. The aesthetic and design of the location is AMAZING (only downfall being there only seems to be one restroom for the entire building so you may have to wait if you're there on a busy day. It's also really cool that they have some teas/etc on-site but you can also order from Butcher's Daughter (directly next door) and they'll bring it right over to you. Both of our garden massages were 10/10 and both ladies working took great care of us. The one piece of feedback I would have is how they manage/advertise the time allotment for their sauna session. We booked a 30-minute sauna session, but the time to get ready and rinse off/change were deducted from that 30-minute allotment. We were only given 1 minute on the timer to change and get into the sauna (quite rushed for two people in a smaller space when you are trying to relax), and then of two people need to shower and change that's eating significantly into your sauna time. Someone would knock on the door to tell you your time is up at your 30-minute mark. So at best, you're really only looking at 25-mins in the sauna to change, rinse off and change. read more

I had a den mother facial with Ronit and it was AMAZINGGG. I felt like I was melting away all the tension in my face, neck, shoulders and body and floating on a cloud while she worked her magic. She has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the skin - her background is also in makeup and she saw that my skin was dry and explained why that was causing my foundation (that I came in there wearing) to spread. She tailored the facial to my needs and gave it extra hydration, and also gave me some good advice around steps in my skincare and makeup routines that I've since implemented and it's been working! After my facial I got to spend some time in the garden drinking tea which was a lovely transition from zen to the real world. I also bought one of their candles and it's been smelling so great in my home. 10/10 I will always come back here! read more

Den Mother is a very special and unique wellness space. One of my favorite things about Den mother is the integration of wellness into their treatments. And I mean the intentional integration of wellness - from the unique massages wrapped in spirituality, down to the integrity of the skin care and vitamin brands they carry. The serene hidden gem transports you into another world, shielded from the hustle and bustle of the busy street outside. I bring clients to their facilities to pamper them with a one of a kind experience. Everything about this space, I just love. This is a 10 out of 10 for me and I cannot wait to come back! Pro tip - see Haley Jo for a facial for a unique and loving experience. read more

Decided to treat my BF out to a spa outing for a special occasion, and Den Mother definitely didn't disappoint! They offer a variety of bodywork services, as well as a private sauna + cold plunge room, all of which are priced very reasonably compared to other spots I looked at in the area. They're located on a super busy strip of Abbot Kinney, but we didn't have trouble finding free street parking, and once we entered, the surround sound system eliminated any noises from the street and transported us into a hidden oasis. The room we were placed into for our sauna and cold plunge felt really cramped, but we did see the other room and it felt more spacious and had a better cold plunge tub. Not sure how I'm able to pick the exact room I want on their website, since they're labeled "1" and "2" without any description or photos, so it might all be based on luck and availability. The employee also started our one hour timer while explaining the room to us (even though we came earlier than our appointment time) which didn't exactly sit right with me, since each minute is around $2.50. They also offer a limited Butcher's Daughter menu from next door, and we ordered some tea, margarita pizza as well as a cocktail. The margarita pizza was a bit dry without much sauce or toppings, but it definitely hit the spot. The cocktail was VERY strong and had a heavy essence of mezcal. We paid for our remaining sauna tab + our food on our way out, but we got chased by another employee into the street asking if we paid our toast tab. I wasn't exactly comfortable with the service and I definitely think the employees should communicate better or have a better way to track food purchases instead of treating customers like they're dining and dashing after such an expensive service. read more

Fernando is amazing! I had an hour garden massage with him. I have nothing but good things to say about him, the pressure he used was just perfect. At the end is where shit got weird! Before I could even present my gift card she was telling me, we add 18% gratuity so you will have to pay the difference. The person who gifted me had included gratuity on my behalf and I explained that to her at the outset. Her attitude about the 18% was just pushy. I think Fernando actually deserved more, but I was so put off by her attitude I just left it at the 18%. My gift card actually covered it. I paid for my tea and eye patches and was outta there. It's a decent experience, the space is very small. Not necessarily worth 180 dollars for a chair massage. I had to pay 15 dollars to park. Would I do it again, no. read more

Was so incredible! We went at the end of the day and it was nice and private - and we were pampered so deliciously!

I've been to Den Mother a handful of times on dates and with friends. It's one of my FAV spots in ALL of Venice Beach. It's always a cozy, relaxing, wonderful outdoor experience. I walk up the street from my place and just settle on the patio and melt into comfort. There are multiple options you can swing for yr weekend/evenings here. A total spa treatment, a lil tea party, and or order select food items from the Butcher's Daughter adjacent. We were here over the weekend, yes even in the drizzling rain and at night. It's kinda romantic. The super sweet staff: lit the outdoor patio fire pit for us, and clothed the chairs whilst we ordered herbal teas made in-house. The fabric awning above kept the drizzle at bay while we sat by the Firepit stayed warm, dry and enjoyed good company. Next visit, I'll try a facial spa treatment. But I know to make reservations in advance. Thanks for the wonderful ambiance and service: Always, heart-warming. read more

I had a really fun time taking my friend here for her birthday. The staff is so sweet and friendly. Everything is clean and it is a nice space. I love the woodwork they have and they personalize your reservation with your name. The ritual bath I did for 30 minutes and it felt great to get a rub down on my feet and also they do a neck and shoulder massage, even your temples if you like. The price is really good for what they offer. It's so different. I appreciate everything they have here. They have a little bar, sauna, cold plunge, and a restaurant right next-door that they get. We got the margarita pizza, which I think was delicious and a great price but I wish it had more margarita feel to it. It had a big piece of basil other than that it tasted like a cheese pizza. Either way I love pizza so I'm not complaining. I just was expecting something different. But I would definitely go again and share with all my friends. read more

If you're anywhere near Abbot Kinney, definitely make time for Den Mother. It's tucked inside this beautifully restored 1930s bungalow that feels like a hidden garden retreat. The plants, the warm wood tones, the cozy outdoor fire pit, and that cedar sauna with an open-air rinse all come together to create a space that feels earthy, intentional, and so calming. I had a massage with Olivia, and honestly, she's incredible. Her touch was intuitive and the perfect mix of soothing and deep work. She found every knot without me saying a thing and somehow managed to make it both deeply relaxing and therapeutic. I left feeling lighter, grounded, and genuinely reset. The whole vibe is mindful and holistic in the best way. There's herbal tea, natural light, peaceful treatment rooms, and a small apothecary up front. You can tell every detail is curated to help you slow down and breathe. It's right on Abbot Kinney, but once you step inside, the city kind of disappears. Five stars for the space and a big extra star for Olivia. I'll absolutely be back. read more

had a great experience the day of the actual services but there was one interaction that really left a bad taste. I called in because I heard a song I loved on their playlist and was hoping they could share it with me. Unfortunately, the front desk staff member I spoke with was less than helpful. She told me she didn't know, and the conversation felt a bit awkward kinda felt like she was gate keeping the music lol. Given the excellent service in other areas, I feel like she could've asked someone who worked there the night before about the playlist or at least made some type of effort. I'm sure the playlist doesn't change every single day or it wouldn't have been hard to figure out what was playing the night before. It was a small request that, unfortunately, soured my mood and affected my experience, especially after spending $400. read more

Such a beautiful warm space! Whether you're looking for some you time or a night out with your friends. My sister & I selected the Besties Night special and added the saunas/cold plunge. It was so relaxing, clean, boho vibes, & friendly staff that went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! Odin & Selina provided our massages and they were AMAZING! Would highly recommend them. At the end one of the most unexpected surprises is you are able to order food & drinks from butchers daughter next door and they will bring it to you to enjoy by the fire place in your robe. Pure relaxation. read more

Came back for the second time, drawn back by our good first experience with the sauna and cold plunge. Unfortunately, this visit was a major letdown. Upon arrival, the room wasn't ready, and when I asked if we could wait inside by the bar area, we were told it was too crowded and had to wait outside. However, once we were finally allowed in, the lounge area was less than half full. Inside the cold plunge room, the floor's paint was peeling, and there were spots of mold on the wood. They had replaced the spacious white cold plunge tub with a small black one where you couldn't fully extend your legs. The once high-quality Salt & Stone hair and body products had been swapped out for their own homemade versions in random bottles. Despite these changes, the price had increased by $10, with no shampoo provided. When I asked for a hair dryer, I was shocked to learn they didn't have one. Overall, the experience felt subpar and not worth the higher price. It seems their focus might be more on massage services now, but I won't be returning for their sauna and cold plunge offerings. For cheaper, I can get better experience elsewhere. read more

Booked a spa day here with my girls. We got the Ritual Foot Bath with Garden Massage for 1 hour. They also have a 30 min option as well. The area felt like a little hidden space and we were greeted with the cutest decor. They provided us robes to change into and then we were seated in a communal room, next to each other. Luckily we had the 10am appt, so no one else was using that space at the time. We sat in the comfiest chairs for the massages. We had Laura, Kendall and Devin and they were amazing, always checking in on us to make sure we were comfortable. The massage is $170 not including gratuity, which is a little bit on the pricer side for what you get but it was definitely worth trying out. read more

Beautiful spot hidden gem in Abbot Kinney - Venice. It's basically a hotel/spa resort but without the hassle of driving far and committing to a dedicated hotel. This is right next to the beach and you can even have tea, coffee, snacks, alcohol here. They have spa services like massages, tea ceremony and of course the private sauna + outdoor shower + cold plunge combo all in one private outdoor room for you to use. The place is absolutely gorgeous looks like straight out of a Boho themed magazine, every inch of it feels like an urban outdoor oasis. read more

This is a wonderful place for a self care day. It's a beautiful and charming space with excellent service. I booked the hot/cold therapy and two massages. I originally booked garden massages but then changed it when I realized those are seated upright in a space shared with other guests. I ended up with the Keep Your Head Massage which was divine. You may want to ask for less oil if your hair is curly like mine. Would definitely go back read more

Den Mother Wellness - Entrance - Massage Therapy Near Me - Venice, California

Saw videos online of this place and was mostly drawn to the patio with the robes and being able to order food etc. I usually go to DeBunne Spa in Torrance but wanted to try something different since it was my girlfriend's birthday. We came in and were told we couldn't sit in the back because there was a private event so we sat in the front patio which is also nice but can get loud since it's next to the street. Whatever, I figured maybe we could go to the back after. I went in for my massage and the music kept cutting off and then it just stopped for a couple minutes. My masseuse apologized and had to use her phone. She was great though. I asked if we could do robes and slippers and was told no bc there's a photoshoot in the back. I think that is something they should have definitely let me know prior. I would have booked for another day. 400$ + for just 1 hr for me and my gf is ridiculous when we aren't even able to get everything out of what we paid for. We were willing to pay the extra for the experience and didn't get it. At the end I ask for a discount or something for the inconvenience and they took off 50 something bucks. I literally planned to be there for a couple hours to eat and relax and that didn't happen. She offered the robe and said we could still order food after we were already dressed and complaining about it. It was really frustrating and truly disappointing because it was for a birthday. PLEASE let people know if there is going to be an event. That is so rude and disrespectful to people's money and experience. read more

Magical space. Welcoming people. Did not want to leave! Upon arrival, was given a robe and slides to wear while there, as well as a towel for the sauna and a basket for my things. And also got a tour of the facilities. The outdoor seating area in the back is a great space to hang out in before or after treatments. It's super chill with comfy seating and a little fire pit. I booked a 30-minute sauna and a 60-minute massage. Sauna was great. The massage was perfect. My practitioner took great care with some injuries I have and still gave me a great massage--I felt amazing for days afterward!!! [Special note: some of the treatments include a head massage with warm oil. You might want to bring something to cover your hair afterwards!] After my treatments, I ordered amazing tea and some food from the Butcher's Daughter and hung out and rehydrated. So grateful to everyone at Den Mother for a great day! read more

*updated review* Den Mother completely redeemed themselves. After a terrible first experience, the owner, Kenneth reached out to my girlfriend to apologize and invite us back. We were moving soon, but Kenneth was able to accommodate a day and time that worked for us. When we walked in we were greeted by Trish, the GM, who was friendly and professional. She escorted us to the Hot/Cold Plunge and showed us where we could place our items, so they wouldn't get wet. The hot and cold plunge was great! The sauna will definitely have you sweating like crazy. My girlfriend did the cold plunge and enjoyed it. It was too cold for me, so I stuck to the sauna. I also loved that they have a shower, so you can rinse off after the sauna. We had an 1 hour and 40 minutes until our massages, so we ordered the mushroom pizza from the Butcher's Daughter. It was absolutely delicious. The staff from Den Mother brings it to you, so you don't even have to get up. While we waited I read, sat by the fire, and enjoyed complimentary tea. One of the staff members was pleasant and refilled the tea once it was empty. Once it was time for the massage, our masseuse's came to get us. I had Soraya, and she was amazing! I felt so relaxed after my massage. It was pretty cold that day so she had the heated bed on, which was amazing. 10/10 for my second experience. I would definitely go back! read more

Courtney is hands down amazing and is definitely 5 stars! She had great energy magic hands and checked in just the right amount!! The vibe of this place even on a rainy day is super relaxing. But I would expect for the cost you pay for services they would make their front patio rain proof as well. My massage was phenomenal. I also did a bath- it was nice but probably not something I would splurge on twice. The actual tub looks like it could use a deep cleaning. The food and beverage menu is abbreviated and sent over from butchers daughter. The server was attentive but chill and he definitely adds to the relaxing environment. The aesthetic is essentially bohemian with lounge chairs fire pits andgreenery Cons- check in and check out not the greatest or friendliest customer service. Also I might add they throw in the gratuity automatically but it's only 18% - I think beauty service standard really is closer to 20 but the front desk service just says oh and we add 18%- I had to ask to increase the amount as I thought my therapist deserved more. No place to put your stuff - no keys or lockers. Only one bathroom and no where to rinse Would return for Courtney! Could see this being a bit more inclusive if they added facials to the bath experience or added the cold immersion / sauna with all services read more

This review is based on two different visits. Tea and coffee and massage treatments The herbal teas and butterfly pea milk teas are incredible!!!!! The space is gorgeous and feels like you're in tulum. But the foot bath massage... where do I begin!? We were escorted to the back garden (for guests receiving treatments) after we checked in. The space is heavenly and so relaxing with a fire pit and lunge chairs. Jeremy, the man running the show in the back arranged a beautiful cheese plate mixed with smoked cashew cheese and a salty cows milk cheese and fresh caraway crisps! Highly recommend! We sipped sake and mellowed out to the good tunes before we were seated for our herbal foot baths. Katie, my therapist, gave the most incredible neck, shoulder, head massage while my feet soaked in a blissful bath of herbs, citrus & coconut milk. After an incredible upper body massage, she gave the best pressure point foot massage ever! I felt like I floated to another planet. It was INSANE! HIGHLY recommend! Andrew, the manager in the front where the shop is awesome!!! So helpful, smart, friendly and radiates good vibes! We ended up walking out with goodies for our friends! The shop has so much amazing stuff to give as gifts! This place is a sanctuary! We can't wait to return! read more

I was treated to a massage here for my birthday, and it was a great gift. I normally go to the spare, low-cost massage places around town, so this felt extravagant. It's an absolutely lovely space, and surprisingly peaceful in the back area. No trace of the bustle of Abbott Kinney back there. I also liked that there were very few people (it was a weekday afternoon), and everyone was quiet. Far more relaxing than Burke Williams. I had a deep tissue massage and it was great. My therapist warned me that she would be doing cupping on my back (I've never had it on my back before--only arms and legs) and I really liked it. My back looked INSANE for about a week afterwards, but totally worth it. I wish I had time to hang out after in the back waiting area and maybe order some snacks and a drink. Next time I'll plan better. read more

I did a girls day for the garden foot massage. The setup and welcoming was great! But it is a little on the pricier side. There are fire pits, and sofas for you to wait, very cute. You can order drinks from next door, but that service wasn't really ideal. Takes them a while to go and come back. Quality of massage was good, you get to sit around and hangout after for a bit which is cute too. read more
