Best massage in orange county! We drive down from LA to see Paula and her team. Always greeted with so much warmth! The space is clean, relaxing, and peaceful. You can tell that Paula really cares about your wellbeing. I've gone several times, but one time in particular, I had a stiff neck and after the massage she taught me stretches to keep my body feeling good long after my massage. I love coming here! read more

If I could give it more, I would. I have had many massages throughout my life. I play tennis 3-4 days a week, and know when I need some loosening up! Natalie is one of the best therapists I've ever had and for the price....definitely the best. She can tell what muscles are knotted up and works hard on them. You can use her to fix a problem or just to relax your muscles. Just let her know what you want! I went to her when she was at another place, but Emerald Thai is nicer and easy to park. Near Crescent Bay. If you like great massages...look no further! PS...this is not like a Burke Williams or Resort massage place. The office and room are basic. But that's not why I get a massage! Go to Natalie! read more

Booked a 1 hour deep tissue massage after experiencing intense neck pain and spasms the week prior. Bella provided an excellent deep tissue massage that resulted in a lot of pain relief in my back, shoulders, and neck. Bella made sure she understood the locations on my neck and back where I was feeling pain, then she focused on those areas, resulting in a great reduction of pain and stiffness in my neck and back. 100% would recommend getting a massage here if you are great need of pain relief. Thanks, Bella!! read more

Not good unfortunately. The music cut in and out during the entire Massage the therapist didn't ask me anything of focus areas was expecting more since I used to get massages here when Veena owned the business and she was great. read more

Great atmosphere. Quiet location. Natalie is an excellent massuse, she is focused on your needs. I highly recommend this location. Prices are in line with other shops. read more

Excellent massage!! Super friendly staff. So rare that they get the pressure just right but Natalie was perfect for me!

Hands down the best massage in the area and at the best price! They have a range of massages from super firm for myself to a bit lighter for my wife. Anytime I'm in the area, I try to stop by. read more

The stars in the sky would not be enough to rate this place and Paula with her team. Paula is heaven sent she truly knows by heart her craft. She is one of a kind. She is better than the high tech scanner and can tell you right away what is wrong.. Her work is outstanding..No one can beat her expertise..i guess it is innate. Where else can you find that? Only in Emerald thai Holistics by Paul read more

Very Professional. I would highly recommend their services. They have a loyalty program that can be used for a free message.

Wonderful, relaxing experience. Highly recommend, especially for sore muscles. You won't regret it. ^_^

I had a great experience at Emerald Thai Massage. Summer and her mom are professional and experienced, tailoring the treatment to your needs. I highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed my massage. Paula is my therapist was very professional and skillful, yet made me feel completely comfortable. I left so relaxed and happy can't wait to come back. read more

I've been here multiple times now, and I can confidently say this is my go to massage place. Every visit has been consistently amazing, no matter which therapist I book with. I've tried massages from multiple therapists here, and every single one of them is highly skilled. No matter who you book with, you're in good hands. Their thai combination, deep tissue techniques, stretching, and therapeutic massages work wonders. I always feel instant relief after a session. The spa itself is beautiful, peaceful, and impeccably clean. It's quiet and not overcrowded, creating the perfect relaxing environment. The location is incredibly convenient, situated right between North Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar. There is paid parking right in front of the shop, so I don't have to deal with the traffic and chaos to the downtown. The entrance is a little tricky to find since it's next to a building, but it's well worth the visit. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of service you receive. They use organic coconut oil that is gentle on the skin, I have sensitive skin and often break out, but I've had no issues here at all. The oil smells amazing, unlike many other places I've been to. The spa also has private and couples' rooms and is run as a family business, which makes the experience feel warm and welcoming. One of my favorite things? The loyalty card program! After 12 hours of massage, you get 1 hour free perfect for me since I get massages every week. They also serve hot pandan leaf tea after your session, which is such a nice touch. If you're looking for a regular go to massage place that is private, high quality, upscale, reasonably priced, and has a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. You need to try it! read more

Great deep tissue massage from Summer. She worked out the sore muscles and I am now totally relaxed.

I did a deep tissue massage with my boyfriend, we booked in a room together, I usually get a thai or thai combo massage, but I wanted something a little stronger, and it was super relaxing. The pressure was perfect and all the knots and tension in our bodies were smoothed out. Highly recommend! read more

June is truly the best massage therapist I have ever met. I have chronic pain and routinely get massages to help control my pain. June's methods are far better than any I've ever experienced. read more

Had a great couples massage here. It was very relaxing for both of us. Highly recommend:)

Just discovered this place in North Laguna and will certainly be back. Appointment was very easy on their website and the owner Priyana knew her stuff. Had a 90 min massage and they gave me 15% off as a first time customer. If you like Thai Massage give them a try. A nice, very clean, family operaton. read more

Another great massage from June. I always get a 90 minute thai combo massage and it is the perfect amount of time. June knows exactly how to loosen knots and stretch muscles. It can be pretty intense, but afterwards all of my muscles are loose and relaxed. read more

I'm a bit reticent to write this review because I don't want to share my secret spot and have a hard time scheduling her, but Veena is absolutely amazing!!! She gives the perfect amount of pressure, very intuitive about where your knots/pain points are located, and is just a wonderful gem of a masseuse. I'm extremely picky with massages; it's been difficult to find a masseuse who balances out strong therapeutic + stretching techniques to untangle areas of your body that need work. Weight lifting and running, plus long hours in front of the computer = tight, achy, sore muscles. It felt like I was becoming Quasimodo over time. Veena to the rescue! She knows how to coax those deep knots beneath your muscles, performs these amazing Thai stretches that really hit problem areas, and has a very clean and soothing spa facility. I highly, highly recommend her. She is life-changing, really. I sleep so well after my visits and my workouts have been even better - I attribute it to her magic and stretching that aids in flexibility. Go see her, just don't book her when I need a session! read more

Due to congestive heart failure my legs and feet retain water. I go and see Paula and get a lymphatic massage. Her hands are magic. She relieves the water so that I can see the swelling go down and count the bones in my feet. If you have any conditions that make you retain water in your legs and feet Paula will help. read more

I highly recommend June and her business, Emerald Thai Holistic Massage. I have a number of chronic injuries and I work out nearly everyday, so I usually get a massage every week for the past many years. I have tried numerous establishments and masseuses in this area as well as all over the world, from local spas, independent providers, as well as many 5 star resorts. June ranks as one of the best masseuses I have had the pleasure of receiving treatment from. Strong hands, great technique, calming demeanor. Hot stone, cupping, Thai massage/stretching, Swedish relaxation...she does it all. Her facility is modern, clean, calming and serene with convenient parking. All in all, a great experience. Thank you June and I look forward to the next session. I truly hope you great success, but I hope you don't get too busy where I can no longer find any available appointments! read more

I have been going to Veena now for about 6 months. She is very sweet & friendly like a neighbor. Veena has helped me in conjunction with my acupuncturist in resolving some pain issues and with an all body massage I leave feeling like a Gumby figure. She is great to get relief from workouts, stress & everyday living. If you want to feel like you've gone to heaven, a 90 or 120 minute massage is absolutely incredible! You will not be disappointed! Veena is Amazing! read more

Veena is an angel and miracle worker! I have several health issues which are now more manageable/bearable since I started seeing her almost a year ago. Veena uses multiple massage techniques which have helped reduce joint/neck pain and frequency/intensity of migraines. And she is sweet! So lucky I found her. My son and his fiance referred me - so grateful! read more

The best experience ever. Makes you want to stay there! I found a place to unwind and relax.

Love my Thai massage and tried it in my home as well as at Veena's studio in north Laguna Beach! Both were fabulous and really helped my tweaked joints as she's very strong and got deep into the sources!!! She has scented oils and soft, relaxing music she brings with her. Very professional and a much lower cost than at expensive hotel spas! read more

I've had hundreds of massages in my life. Veena's demeanor, technique and environment were amazing. She was very aware of the areas that were stressed and applied the perfect amount of pressure. I can't wait to come back to Emerald Thai Massage. Thank you Veena, you've spoiled me, see you soon!! read more

I always get the most amazing massages here. I work out a lot and am always in pain. Veena really paid attention to what my body needed and worked the appropriate muscles and joints to relieve the pain and tension. Felt like I got a new body. She uses great quality oils and materials. It's obvious she truly cares about her clients and works hard to make it a great experience. Thank you so much! read more

An amazing massage by Veena ! Strong deep, she just knows where the knots are....and works than away ! Also has highly advanced stretching techniques. Highly recommend ! read more

Veena is amazing! Hands down the best massage I have ever had. She uses the right amount of pressure and techniques to get out even the worst knots. The massage is also a good combination of both stretching and massage work while being very relaxing as well. I felt like a brand new person after my appointment. You will not regret booking an appointment with her! Thank you Veena! read more

Tried out Emerald Thai massage for the first time. Veena was awesome! Relieved my lower back pressure. Will be coming back again soon!
