I cannot recommend Karuna Massage and Maria enough! From the moment I walked in, the entire…read moreexperience felt calm, grounding, and so zen. Maria truly has magical hands. She intuitively knew exactly which areas needed extra attention and worked through tension I didn't even realize I was holding. She reminded me of the importance of self-care & pouring back into oneself. Her touch is both therapeutic and deeply relaxing -- the perfect balance. I left feeling lighter, aligned, and completely refreshed. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, intuitive, and genuinely gifted at what she does, Maria is it. I will absolutely be going back. Highly, highly recommend!

I thought my massage at the Four Seasons in Westlake was going to be as good as it'll ever get (top tier). I'm thankful to be proven wrong with Maria's massage! I'm still blown away. I texted her and she got back to me right away which I appreciated. I booked 90 minutes as it had been a couple years since my last massage. She was professional, prompt, listened to my concerns/trouble areas and was so thorough. She's gifted and can feel and sense things others cannot. I've been feeling so much relief already! Truly looking forward to seeing her again and referring her.

Why is it that so many of the best things in life are BAD for you? Chocolate (in the quantities I…read morelike to eat it), alcohol (ditto), deep fried everything, driving fast, the list goes on. And then you have a massage from Lindsay, which happens to be one of the best things in life, and it's GREAT for you! I wish I could have them in the quantities I eat chocolate and fried food, but she wouldn't have time for anyone else at that point. Please note that if you're looking for a quick "whatever" massage, this isn't it. Go to Massage Envy for that nonsense. If you want someone with strength and power matched with an equally gentle touch where it's needed, she's the therapist for you. She's worked on when I was so sore from lifting that everything hurt, and she adapted immediately to what my body needed. Other times I've gone simply for the sake of something perfect and pleasant, and I left feeling light as a cloud. I don't know much about muscle connectivity, pressure points, joint issues or anything else. I have no idea how she works her magic. I just know that I've had massages from more people than I can count, and the only person I've gone back to is Lindsay. Book her today!

Lindsay is an incredible Massage Therapist. Right when you meet with her, she's very welcoming,…read morefriendly and comfortable to be around. She really knows her stuff, too! Very well versed in the mechanics of the body, especially when it comes to injuries, tension, and pain. I've gone to Lindsay quite a few times, almost always with some sort of injury I've caused (I work with livestock, so my body takes a toll), and she never fails to provide relief, and has actually resolved some really painful problems I've had in my back, neck, and left shoulder (tension? cramped muscle? spasm? I forget, but Lindsay certainly knew what the issue was...). I've never had two of the same exact sessions with Lindsay, because she doesn't follow a script or routine. Each time you come in, she asks you how you've been feeling and works on what's been bothering you specifically. Love that she is able to explain what she's doing so well, too. Very articulate. Also, she wont' talk your ear off if what you want is a quiet session. Sometimes I want to ask her questions about some pain I'm having, or problems I have when I move around at work, and other times I want to just relax and get fixed. She picks up on this and either lets you enjoy your silence, or talks with you about the questions you have. Awesome. (She also offers traditional fire cupping at no extra charge! So cool! Love getting cups at the end of a session.) Highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and adapts each session to YOUR needs that day. A++ P.S. Just a heads-up: she is by appointment only. The address listed here is indeed her office, but she does not do walk-ins, so make sure you call her in advance to set up a session... you'll be really glad you did!

She was amazing but she moved out of state recently and of course I was forced to try someone new. Went to Coco a couple of times and she was just as amazing. Coco was booked tonight (she's the manager) and so she suggested that I book with Lisa which is who I was suppose to get a massage with only to have a bait and switch when I arrived and had to go to Amy instead. I was peeved but decided to trust Coco since she knows me and what I like. I thought I'd be in good hands (no pun intended). Amy gave the worst massage I have ever had. She asked if I wanted light or medium. I like medium touch but honestly she was just rubbing skin, barely applying any pressure, slapping on oil. and phoning it in. But the kicker was towards the end of the massage, she puts cloves on to massage my feet, NEVER have I had a body massage with cloves on (except a pedicure). AND, this is AFTER she massaged my body with her bare hands the whole time. Makes no sense. THEN, she took paper towels and rubbed the oil off of my feet which felt like sand paper scrapping my skin off. I really should have just stopped the massage so it's partly my fault for letting her continue. BUT, I figured I would just tip her less and call it day. I've always tipped 30% on average, EXCEPT for tonight when I handed her a 10% tip, (honestly I wanted to leave no tip). She pointed to the NEW tip chart with a range saying she wanted more. I was livid. My intention was to be quiet about this b/c I've been going here for so long and I figured one bad massage over the years wasn't worth the complaint BUT b/c AMY forced the issue, I was forced to let her know (and now you, here on yelp) that it was the worst massage I have ever had and b/c she demanded more of tip, she needed to know that is the REAL issue and she got exactly what she gave. I told her that I've been a client for 6 years and I will never come back again. I will make sure all of my associates and friends in Ventura never step foot in this establishment again. On top of it, I had one of those punch cards for every massage you get, it adds up to a free foot massage which was almost full. Amy grabbed it and said she'd give it to me at the end of the massage. Needless to say I didn't get it back. LOL. Not that it matters now cause they lost a long time client. Oh & btw; I'm a licensed Massage Therapist myself for 24 years so I'm very careful with feedback b/c everyone has their own style and touch. Its subjective. Right? In all the years as a Massage Therapist, I've never demanded that a client tip me more. And that's the issue. The quality of service is determined by the discretion of the client. Period. And if this business requires a "set tip" then it needs to be built into the price of the massage. This tipping chart is brand new btw and I was completely unaware until I decided tip below what I normally give.
