2 years later and my girl Maria is still working her magic. And I'm so glad to see other people agree!! She has healing hands and I so appreciate how much pressure she can apply. I've done everything under the sun:chiro, acupuncture, PT, sports massage etc. but I always still go to my girl for a session. I always leave feeling way more relaxed and loose. Prices are very fair for the quality massage you receive. 10/10 as always read more

I cannot recommend Karuna Massage and Maria enough! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment I walked in, the entire experience felt calm, grounding, and so zen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I left feeling lighter, aligned, and completely refreshed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

I'm still blown away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I texted her and she got back to me right away which I appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I booked 90 minutes as it had been a couple years since my last massage.

First time with Maria - have spinal disc issues and neck issues. She was unbelievably good in every way. No nonsense and yet relaxing attention to every issue I had and even some I had no idea about. I could go on and on, but trying to be brief - [[HIGHLIGHT]]she was so amazing, I went back 3 days later with my husband.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We are leaving on a month long rv trip and I wanted to get as much therapy in as I could. Told all my friends. Don't hesitate - you'll be glad you did . Side note - there is only the address on the door - and if it's locked, she's w/ a client, just wait til the door is left open. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to Maria 2 times now and don't see myself going to anyone else![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I found her on google after going to several people before, trying to find the right person.

There are only 5 star reviews left for a reason. The best!!! read more

Amazing massage!! I am extremely particular when it comes to massages mainly due to my high physical activity (running, cycling and swimming). I need the right type of tension (deep) to help my muscles and joints. Maria is by far one of the best masseuse I have been to ( and I have been to many). She knows exactly what areas need attention and is very professional. The location is perfect and gives you a sense of peace and serenity when you walk in. I definitely plan to be back!!! read more

"Why 5 stars when you have never so much as stepped foot in this space," you ask? Because I know what exceptional service and quality work are, and Maria is at the top of the massage therapy game. I have an extraordinary woman in my life who always looks out for others before herself. I needed a gift that rivaled this woman's spirit and was worthy of her time, as she does not have it to waste. Plus, at the time, I was trying to impress this fine woman. My problem was that I live in the Bay Area and know no therapists in Oxnard. So, I called a couple of knowledgeable friends in L.A. for some help and Karuna Massage was mentioned. I contacted Maria to schedule a massage, and instantly knew my lady would be in good hands. Maria was responsive, professional, pleasant, and knowledgeable. The whole process was quick and easy; exactly what I needed. We found a time for a 60-minute Swedish massage that I thought would work and the gift was set. The appointed day arrived and after the massage was complete, my lady called and told me how wonderfully relaxed and taken care of she felt. She went on about how skilled Maria is, how she worked the tension away, and how comfortable she felt in her care. Points scored! The whole experience went so well that I had my lady set up for a 90-minute deep tissue next, you know, just to see if Maria was really that good. As sure as the sun rises, Maria is consistent: professional, easy to work with from a distance, and provided high quality service. Suffice to say, my lady called afterward telling me how amazing Maria is and how she has never felt so taken care of before. Did I mention 'points being scored' ? The bottom line is, if you value your time, your sanity, and health or those of another, get thee to Karuna Massage. It's the local island get away. read more

Maria is heaven sent. I went to her years back and then just recently came across her again and I'm so glad I did. First off, she accommodated me last minute since I was experiencing a horrible tension headache and she got me in for an appointment within a day. Beyond that, she seems to be so aware of the human anatomy...she knows exactly how to move her hands, arms and elbows through and across muscles and work into the tightest areas. Finding a good masseuse is like coming across gold...in my opinion, Maria is the gold! read more

I tweaked my back out and the pain was affecting me every waking hour of the day and I was getting less and less sleep each night. When I realized I was not going to get any better without help I started browsing Yelp and found nothing but good things to say about this place. Marie was pleasant and spent a few minutes asking questions and determining where to focus her efforts. My massage was wonderful! She not only eased the pain where I had directed her but found several other hot spots and worked her magic there as well. I am a big guy and it takes a fair amount of strength to manipulate my muscles when they are tight. Marie was able to reach deep enough get to the core of each and every knot. I will definitely be going back! read more

Maria is wonderful! It takes a combination of experience, intuition and strength to be effective as a massage therapist and she has all three. I have been dealing with limited range of motion and pain in my elbow for several years and found no relief with my doctor, chiropractor or other massage therapists over that time. By the second session with Maria I had a dramatic reduction in pain and have gained a little more range. I am more than impressed with the progress in such a short period. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria. read more
