Scheduling was a breeze! I made an appt same day. Parking was easy, either street parking or the garage below for $5! My therapist Janelle was really great, good energy and technique was therapeutic! I do have to note that there is nobody who works the front desk. When I arrived there was no intro, no check in, nada~ I didn't love that for safety reasons and from a customer service perspective. Especially since it was only myself and the therapist inside. The room smelled heavily of paint fumes which in turn made me feel worse than when I arrived. I asked Janelle if the spa was painted recently and she said no, but there is adjacent construction. I had to place tissue on the face cradle to help with the smell and when I flipped onto my back I had her get me a tissue and put some essential oil on it so I could stuff it into my nostrils. While this construction is taking place the spa might consider investing in air purifiers, plants that absorb odors and toxins, as well as some essential oils diffusing. My body feels good thanks for Janelle, but I'm not sure I'll be back for the reasons listed. read more

This afternoon I went back for my weekly massage The massage therapist was really kind and good He worked exactly on the issues of my body that i needed to be worked on! read more

See all

Excuse the pun, but you are literally in such good hands if you come to see Janelle. This was my first time experience with lymphatic drainage massage and first time at this wellness spa. I will most definitely be returning for another session with her. Thank you so much for your hard work Janelle. Can't wait to come back! read more

We had a couples massage with Fred and Jackson and it was amazing! They're so lovely and the massage was beyond relaxing. The room is also so stunning, we can't wait to go back!! read more

Holy moly I just left my massage with Daniel who was an absolute gift. I'm a massage therapist and muscle nerd in general. While I can appreciate pretty much any massage, this guy is the real deal and knows his stuff. Deep Therapeutic work that also feels gentle and nurturing. I highly recommend for anyone managing chronic pain. He's a great listener and so intuitive. read more

Overall enjoyed my experience. Haven't had a massage in a long time due to many disappointing experiences in the past. Glad to find this business not to far from my neighborhood. Reception was welcoming. Agota was my therapist, she did beautiful work. She did a mix of deep tissue and Swedish, really beautiful experience. As a plus size person I was fairly comfortable. Feedback would be that a 2hr $190 massage includes head and face for some length of time . Seems unreasonable it's an add on at that price point. Lastly the music jumps from classical, Asian, Native American to nature sounds, this kept throwing me off as I was trying to clear my mind and latch onto sound. This place fits a classical vibe for me the doors tend to shut loudly, was startled several times and jumped once at the loud sounds. read more

My LOMI LOMI massage session with JAN was one of the most deeply healing and out-of-worldly experiences I've ever had. I came to her with tightness in my diaphragm that made it hard to breathe deeply, and through her intuitive, nurturing touch--especially the gentle stomach work--she helped me reconnect with my breath in a way I hadn't felt in a long time. I'm beyond grateful to be able to breathe deeply and effortlessly again. Jan has an incredible gift. Her intuition, presence, and dedication go far beyond technique--she's a true healer. The experience felt both spiritual and grounding, as if I were being embraced by Mother Earth herself. I left feeling not only physically freer but emotionally lighter, and profoundly at peace. If you're looking for more than just a massage--if you're seeking real healing--Jan is someone you'll want to meet. She also does exceptional deep tissue massages and reiki. Thank you for restoring my wellness Jan. read more

Massage is pretty much my one and only vice: a regular part of my life for decades. My long-time massage therapist moved out of state and I was looking. After some underwhelming and disappointing exploration, I came across reviews for Fred and FPW. Taking a chance, I booked with Fred. You know that feeling when you walk in - and just know?? Yup. It was that. Wow ! The reviews and his reputation are legitimate and absolutely on point. The facility is beautiful, impeccably clean, and calm. Fred is intuitive, kind, and an absolute master of his skill and art. I am delighted to have found such an amazing fit. Highly, highly, highly recommend. read more

Deepest Deep tissue I've ever received! STRONG man! Felt like work, but so worth it in the end.

Facilities were gross. Room had a smell, I was freeing the whole time. Sub par massage

Had one of the best experiences at Fred Parker Wellness. It was my first lymphatic drainage and I cant say enough nice things. The place is so clean and aesthetic I immediately felt calmer. I had my appointment with Fred and he was so great, he took his time and really cared about my well being. Felt so much lighter after the drainage, I will definitely be coming back. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful couples massage in their salt room. Fantastic massages in a room with beautiful ambiance.

So great to be back! Johnny was my masseuse this time, he was kind and heard me on my areas of concern. He gave a terrific massage and added in reflexology. As always I left feeling super relaxed and nurtured. I come here regularly and the sound baths are another staple that I really enjoy. I love this place! read more

Such a beautiful boutique spa, and Jan is incredible! She helped me relieve pain and tension I'd been carrying around with me for ages. What a gem. Will definitely be going back. read more

Clean, serene, professional and kind staff. Got an amazing massage here and would highly recommend!

I'm a first timer for a lymphatic drainage massage and came here to check it out. It was 90 minutes and I added a scout massage on top of that because why not? Upon my arrival I was treated wonderfully. There was an initial discussion regarding my familiarity and my experience with a lymphatic drainage massage to which I explained I had no experience, but have friends that have had it and recommended that I check it out. I was informed that this type of massage isn't the same as a traditional or Swedish massage where the focus is on the muscles, but rather this was moving the fluids to work with your lymph nodes to sort of accelerate and encourage that process along. I felt extremely comfortable and in good hands. I'm sitting here a few hours after having the service done and I feel incredible and relaxed. I have also noticed my knees feel different (in a good way) when I'm walking around the house. I've heard depending on how your body is you can have reactions that of an upset stomach, but I feel great. I definitely plan on returning to this spot as I am not only satisfied with the service that I got, but in my research for this type of massage, the price feels more affordable than most other places that I've seen. read more

Best massage I've ever had. Highly recommend this place! Quiet relaxing atmosphere... Can't wait to go back

Candice is an amazing healer! This place is a nice retreat in the city and Candice is a unique, 1 of a kind soul with next level skill. Her energy is very Hawaiian and she made me feel so cared for. I actually hallucinated peaceful trance images while she was rubbing my head because she's so good at moving in a healing flow to help you take a break from your busy mind and check into flow state for a bit. Recommended! read more

I haven't had a proper massage since before Covid first struck. Finally getting back to taking care of my body again, I found Fred Parker Wellness after a few minutes on line. I was shocked at all the 5 star reviews for this little place in Studio City I've never heard of before, so I read many of the reviews in their entirety. When you treat yourself to a healing massage, you don't want to dump a lot of cash on the wrong place or untrained non-intuitive hands. The reviews did not lie about Fred Parker Wellness! I made an appointment with Fred himself. It's a bit more ($15) but TOTALLY worth it. Fred welcomed me immediately and brought me to my room. He took the time to learn my issues and ask what I wanted from the session. It was clear that he heard everything I said, because the 1.5 hour session was just what my body needed! The only downside to the whole day was that it ended all too quickly. Thanks so much, Fred and Fred Parker Wellness! You have a new, repeat customer who will happily sing your praises often and earnestly. read more

Fred Parker is amazing. Nice clean facility, very comfortable, the website is easy to navigate, and the parking is validated. I have not tried any of the other massage therapists, but if they are like the owner, Fred, you can't go wrong. Besides having amazing hands, Fred is kind and attentive. I get deep-tissue massage for an hour and l leave there feeling wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a good massage. read more

LIFE CHANGING! I'm a dancer so I've been to many massage facilities and this one is on a whole other level. Immediately walking in feeling welcomed and comfortable. From the oils they used, to the tentativeness to each muscle it was truly the best experience I've ever had. I felt so safe! Equal parts relaxed and feeling that each area of pain was released. The energy was calming throughout and not only will we go again but I may even get a package! read more

First time here at Fred Parker. Great experience. Joe at the front desk was welcoming. Ellen did an amazing job. Pinpointed all my problem areas. I left feeling like a million $$$. They offer memberships and massage packages. Easy parking in a not so easy to park in area. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!! read more

Great massage. Helped me to relieve stress and tension. Place is very clean with nice ambiance. Met the owner and he was really kind, too.

I have gone twice now -- once to Jackson and once to Fred -- and both times was so impressed, relieved, relaxed and restored.

The space is beautiful and unique. I got a 60 min Swedish session with Fred and after I got a couples session gift card for my son and his girlfriend. Parking is great and I will be back. read more

I tried one of the newest massage therapists at Fred Parker Wellness this week, and was not at all disappointed. Chris is obviously professionally trained and very knowledgeable. His calm and confident demeanor immediately put me at ease and it was exactly what I needed to end the week. I think I'm hooked and will definitely be back! read more

I had some extra points on my ClassPass account and decided to use them for a massage before closing my account. I must say, I couldn't be happier that I chose to try this place. Having explored numerous massage spots in the Valley, from reflexology to high-end spas, I've never experienced anything quite like this. Fred, in addition to being exceptionally pleasant and kind, is truly a master of his craft. His prices are reasonable so book an appointment and thank me later! read more

My husband and I were gifted a couples massage from my brother for my birthday. The experience was lovely. From Joe at the front desk to meeting Fred the owner, as well as the beautiful Himalayan salt room where we were worked on by two wonderful massage therapists. Jan is just magical! As a nursing mom of two little ones, my body really needed some tlc. She used trigger therapy and stretching to target my sore muscles. Wow. What a difference. The facial massage was heavenly too. My husband really enjoyed the super relaxing and soothing Swedish massage as well with Rebecca. Will be back for sure! read more

OMG! I just had the absolute best massage by a guy named, Jeremy. My shoulders and neck were so tense and my lower back ached before going in. He was thorough and took away all the stiffness and tension. Normally, I avoid massages because they make me feel worse and in pain the day after, but Jeremy left me feeling so relaxed and I was pain free the next day. He asked me what I needed and actually listened. Best ever! I'll be booking Jeremy again soon. read more

Fred was there personally the day I went in super late notice and he called me to get details down and make sure I was good to go, very professional and personal service, and great attitude. I'll be back for sure. read more

Wherever Fred goes I will follow. The best intuitive masseuse you'll find, hands down.

Always the best place to go! Ellen is the sweetest and so attentive. This place actually has character and takes care of itself unlike so many massage places that are run down. Everything is pristine. Prices are super reasonable! read more

So happy to have discovered Fred Parker. His hands are knowing and magical. The shop is serene and has a very high end vibe. Great addition to the 'hood! Will be back soon!! read more

Here's the truth: Fred is one of the best massage therapists out there! I have mid back pain from due to sitting on my desk and working long hours. I incorporate yoga and stretching to my daily life, however, I seem to have persistent back pain from sitting too long. I addressed it with Fred and he really worked out the kinks in my mid back. I'm happy I trusted my gut instinct and with the fact that Yelp does not lie. I totally see what all the hypes about and am happy to be pain free after my massage. I felt light and at ease after my session and actually have forgotten what it is like to have back pain *knocks on wood* Honestly though, I will be contacting him moving forward for future sessions. I honestly feel so blessed to have crossed paths as I'm feeling totally relaxed after my massage. I came home and napped, which was the cherry on top! Especially during these unprecedented times, it's important to take care of yourself. It's equally rewarding to find talented, kind, and masterful people to help ya along the way. Knowing my persisent back, feet, and hip issues, I am in need of constant massages; moving forward, I will definitely contact Fred for future appointments - so so SO highly recommend him! I'm actually tempted not to share this so he can always be available for emergency sessions should I need him! Haha! Seriously though. 100% If you're browsing and are in need a massage and looking for the right person, this is your sign to contact Fred. read more

I've known Fred for years and not only is he a really nice guy, he's extremely talented at what he does. He knows what pressure points to hit and I felt amazing afterwards, I'm sorry I waited so long to finally get a massage from him. I'll be back!! read more
