The facility is well-maintained, with plush robes and sandals provided, plus a shower on-site. The steam room takes a while to heat up, so plan to arrive early if you want to use it before your treatment, or turn it on and enjoy it afterward. Parking is easy with an onsite subterranean lot. Insider's tip: They accept Spa Finder gift certificates.

I have had the great pleasure of getting worked on by Traci Sutton since 2010. I believe this…read moreenables me to sum up the bigger picture of who she is as a therapist, a business person, and an individual. Traci has an extremely high standard of ethics, which is one of the reasons I respect her so much. She is also one of the most aware people I have ever met. She not only has healing hands, she also has a therapy background that enables her to hear people talk about their innermost issues and respond to them in a deeply compassionate way. Traci's compassion carries over in other special ways - like finding specific period music to play during massage for a senior client who misses dancing to certain songs when she was young. The joyful setting that she creates for that client during her weekly massages cannot be conveyed in words. Her massage technique combines Lomi Lomi, Swedish, and Cranial work to create a session in which her nurturing energy shines through. Her flowing Lomi-style strokes down my back, with just the right pressure for me, always puts me OUT!! As an individual, Traci is a giver and this is certainly evident in her demeanor and her touch. From her choice of career to her choice of volunteer work (most recently, giving bodywork to children who are transplant patients at UCLA), she is a quality person who anyone would feel lucky to have in their lives! So if you're looking for a nurturing and flowy touch from someone who is also a lovely person, you've definitely found her!

Wow! What can I say--where do I even start? From the moment…read moreI walked in, I was greeted kindly and taken care of right away. They immediately pay attention to detail, starting with a quick form so you can explain what you're coming in for and what areas need attention. Once I was taken to my room, I instantly felt relaxed. The atmosphere is so calming, with soothing music and ocean sounds that really elevate the entire experience. Lupe took care of me, and I truly loved every single moment. I've never been somewhere that takes the time to have a genuine conversation and consult with you about your needs before starting. She was sweet, informative, friendly, and incredibly personable. I appreciated every interaction. I got a 90-minute deep tissue massage, and she really took care of me. I haven't felt that relaxed in months. The oil smelled amazing, and everything about the experience felt so intentional. Lupe listened closely and targeted the areas where I hold the most stress. She made sure I left feeling my absolute best. At the end, she reminded me to hydrate and even gave helpful guidance on how often I should come back. They also provided a refreshing mint, water and a towel after the session, which was such a nice touch. Overall, the entire staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. I've never had such a great first experience at a place like this. I will definitely be back and highly recommend the 90-minute deep tissue massage!

Every detail makes you instantly feel relaxed and taken care of. I've been coming here for over 2 years, and Branka is absolutely amazing. I have chronic pain from a car accident and she always knows exactly where to focus during the massage. She's incredibly skilled, intuitive, and consistent and I always leave feeling so much better physically and mentally. If you're looking for a truly calming, elevated spa experience with excellent massage therapists, I highly recommend The NOW Santa Monica, especially Branka
