O'Shin Healing Spa has the best massage: deep tissue, shiatsu, Swedish- what ever you want they do it. The atmosphere is really soothing, quiet, clean and relaxing. We just had a 90- min couples massage today with Lauren and Jenny- it was amazing! I've also had massages with Natalie and Barry. A fantastic was to relax, pre or post vacation and really feel your best after they are done. read more

Wonderful 90 minute Swedish massage with Natalie today. Just what I needed for stiff neck and back muscles. Definitely enjoyed the thorough foot massage. Everything was great. This place has a relaxing environment, clean and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back. read more

I have had Jenny twice, I will be back! She is gentle & effective. The spa is clean. I highly recommend going! I highly recommend Jenny.

I was hoping to spoil myself with a massage at my resort but they were booked. I googled places near by as I'm not from the area and this place came up and was close. I was a little underwhelmed by the exterior of the location, only because I was in the mood for upscale but didn't mind. I had my apt with Natalie and she arrived very kind and attentive. It was very straight forward, no bells and whistles but she knew exactly where to focus and was amazing . Best massage ever ! Don't judge a book by its cover ! read more

I came out from San Francisco to visit Santa Cruz for the first time. I was staying one night here, and was thinking, "Why not treat myself for this 2 day retreat during this busy work stress season," and found O'Shin healing spa. I called to see if they had an appointment today. I wanted to see Eida, who was actually the owner. However, she only walked until 2 PM. But I was able to see Sandra, who was very humble, super nice, and welcoming. Sandra is wonderful. I only had an hour for the full body massage, had requested on specific areas. Like the neck and the feet. She worked on those focus area for an hour and was great. I told her a little bit of my TMJ, she's very informative and told me how I can do home remedies massages for myself, as well as certain areas that we found were tender as she did some pressure points, and told me how to straighten my muscles. After the session was done, my feet felt great after standing for eight hours yesterday at work. My neck also feels very relaxed, I came in with tension and tightness, and she helped me loosen it up. Overall experience, highly recommend anyone that you see here, is all professionals with excellent technique. Only thing I wish before coming, was to let me know that it's only Venmo, PayPal, Zelle payments and that they didn't take credit cards. There were lots of parking in the space is very spacious. It's very clean, it's very peaceful vibe when you walk in. read more

It's nice that they will take you a short notice and you can book online. However, the Massage I received was too rough and I have noticed some negative inter online between the owner and others. It made me uncomfortable sharing my experience. I don't think I'll return so I'll go ahead and be open about it now. read more

O'Shin Healing Spa is a lovely space for a treatment. I liked being able to book online on the same afternoon. When i arrived, Camilo listened carefully to what i needed and responded with a superb, very skillful and intuitive deep tissue massage. He blended an experienced range of techniques to heal whatever muscle strains i had in my shoulders and back with kindness and carefulness. I would trust Camilo to always give an excellent massage. I look forward to returning and sharing my results with others. My shoulders are feeling MUCH better! Thank you! read more

It was my first time ever getting a massage, and I'm so glad I scheduled it with Victoria! I left feeling so much lighter. I am definitely coming back! read more

As soon as I walked in, Joanne was so warm and friendly. We discussed the issues I was having and she really listened. I had a 75 min Swedish massage. She was the best, perfect pressure and great attention to my hands, head and feet. I was only in the area today and found them on Yelp. Truly one of my best and relaxing massages ever! read more

I was having headaches and thought it might be neck tension, so I booked a medical massage with Barry and it was so helpful! Barry immediately focused in on my neck and worked out all of the tension there. He clearly knows anatomy and all of the trigger points. Booking was super easy and there was a lot of Saturday availability, which I appreciate since I only have weekends off. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My wife had Eida, and I had Natalie. They were both excellent! We couldn't be happier with our massages. Going there was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I highly recommend O'Shin Healing Spa. read more

Incredible! Hour and a half massage felt like two hours. Didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep

I got a massage from Lauren and it was wonderful. She made sure to ask me questions and it was very calm and relaxing!

I can't say enough good things about my massage therapist, Jo Ann, whom I've been seeing for several months. She has such a pleasant and calm demeanor that immediately makes me feel relaxed before my massage even starts. Her massages are thorough with just the right touch and she is accommodating to make sure I am comfortable and enjoying my massage. I usually have some kind of issue (soreness or tightness somewhere!). Jo Ann is great about zeroing in on those areas. I always feel like melted butter when I leave. The O'Shin space is clean with a relaxing and calm vibe. I also like its convenient location off Soquel Dr and Park Ave and that the building has their own parking lot. I highly recommend Jo Ann and O'Shin. read more

Amazing! The staff was very professional and did an amazing job. I left feeling relaxed and in less pain. read more

Visiting Aptos for the weekend. We booked a couples massage with Victoria and Jenny. My fiancé and I both agree it was the best massage ever! Clean and pleasant environment also! The ladies were both very professional. We will definitely go back when we are in the area. read more

So far every massage I have had has been great. I love that you can book online and there's usually same-day appointments.

Sandra was absolutely amazing! I went in for a deep tissue massage, and she was incredibly attentive. Not only did she focus on my target areas, but she also identified several problem spots I hadn't even realized were tense. Since it had been over a year since my last session, it felt like a real 'workout' for my muscles--exactly what I needed. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Eida is a master at massages. She knows just what your body needs and provides it with care and compassion. She restores the body! Best masseause I have ever had. read more

This was one of the best massages I have ever had. My back and neck were a mess. My therapist worked all the knots out and I definitely left with a much better range of motion in my neck, shoulders and back. Very professional establishment with friendly therapists. I'll definitely be going back next time I visit Santa Cruz. read more

My friend and I are visiting the area for a special occasion. We wanted a "real"massage. Boy we were blessed that we found O'Shin. Eida is so kind. The massage was definitely professional, relaxing and may I say loving? One can feel it when someone cares about their clients. read more

I had my first massage at O'Shin with Eida. She works magic in relieving tension from sore muscles, and she even told me of my flexibility issue in my right hip, which I knew and had not mentioned to her. She did extra work on my right hip, and my flexibility has improved after one session. I highly recommend and will come again. read more

I booked a 60 minute craniosacral massage with Eida. From the moment, I stepped in, the ambiance including the lighting, sounds and smells was very relaxing. The massage had attention to detail, such as a heated eye mask and warm lotion. My massage left me feeling like I entered another state of consciousness. I will be back. read more

Today was my first (but not my last!) massage at O'Shin Healing Spa with Eida. As soon as I walked in the door I knew I'd found a wonderful place. The soft lights, decor and calming music instantly brought me a sense of peace, and this was even before the massage. Eida was welcoming and attentive, and gave me one of the best massages I've ever had: the perfect amount of pressure and deep muscle work that was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Eida, for a lovely and nurturing experience. read more

Gifted my daughter a massage session and she said it was fantastic! Easy appt set up.

I've visited O'Shin Healing Spa four times in the past three months, which is more than I've ever gone to a massage place, and each time, Barry has left me feeling like a new person. I always book a 90-minute deep tissue session, and Barry is, hands down, the most knowledgeable massage therapist I've ever encountered. His expertise goes far beyond any massage experience I've had in the past. What truly sets Barry apart is his intuitive understanding of the body. Without me saying anything, he identified an old injury in my shoulder and arm from a skiing accident in April that never quite healed. Barry knew exactly how to target the knots, and even incorporated cupping, which brought incredible relief. As a startup founder, I carry a lot of stress and tension, and during each session, I can actually feel the tightness release, leaving me standing taller with improved posture immediately afterward. Barry is not only highly skilled but also exceptionally professional, kind, and quick to respond. If you're looking for a genuine healing experience that addresses deep-seated tension and old injuries, I cannot recommend him enough. read more

I loved my massage with Victoria! I can't wait to try their other services and providers. A sweet welcoming calming place. Thank you!

When visiting Santa Cruz, I was in desperate need of a massage. My body felt crunchy and tight after hiking so after reading reviews of the massage therapist Eida, I called. They were fully booked but she stayed longer one day to fit me in which I was grateful for and then a client cancelled so I was able to get two amazing massages in one week. The combination of deep tissue with craniosacral therapy was incredibly effective and relaxing. I felt so supported and taken care of with the healing hands of Eida. I highly recommend you book with her and see for yourself the wonderful restoration and relaxation that is in store for you. Trust me, your body will thank you! read more

This is my favorite place to go for massage, and keep telling myself that I must make it a regular habit. Yesterday, I had a 1.5 hour "Polarity Energy Therapy" with Eida, who has always been amazing. The ambiance, from the minute you walk in, is relaxing and calm. Be sure to drink lots of water afterwards, because toxins are released and need flushing out. Highly recommend. read more
