I tried this spa after checking at least three or four Asian foot spa type places in the…read moresurrounding area and this is the only one that got really good reviews mostly five stars. Here was my experience from beginning to end. I called to make an appointment and the lady that answered the phone acted like she knew me already very upbeat and bubbly like she was my friend! I then made the appointment and was able to get in within an hour. When I entered, I was greeted and able to tell the person I was talking to exactly what I wanted. She directed me to a room and the person massaging me began the massage face down with my body covered, and she began doing compression, which is light pushing on my back arms, glute area, legs, feet and neck. She then rolled back my sheet all the way down to where my butt cheeks end. Just so you know this is the Asian massage way. It's not weird at all. If you are weird about these things, you should not get a massage at these places. It's just a body. These places get a bad rep because of the things that go on at other places. Anyway... She then used oil and massaged my body (neck, arms, shoulders, back and lower back, glutes, legs for about a half hour, then she turned me over and massaged my feet and my legs. She used hot stones on the same areas briefly, then she used a very warm towel to wipe off the oil on my body, which I appreciated. She gave me a very nice scalp massage as well. For $60 this is amazing and I gave her a $20 tip because it was worth it! If you go and get a regular massage at a regular spot, it cost about $130-$160.00 at the very least. The only constructive criticism I have would be that the room itself had nice relaxing spa music in it, but the general area in the front had some pounding music going, which competed with the spa music and made it really difficult to fully relax or fall asleep. If it wasn't for this, it would've been absolutely perfect and so I'm writing this to allow the establishment to understand that when you are in a Zen state, it's important to keep things consistent. Maybe have the music the same on the outside as the inside of the rooms, and when you have no patron, that's when you can play your thumping music That would be the only thing that I would love to see improved upon. When I was done with my massage, the lady that had answered the phone to begin with checked me out and was very very kind and caring. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back at least once a month if not more.

The reason for 3 stars is that I paid for a combo massage and she didn't massage my feet at all. Completely skipped them. That's my favorite part of massages. Most likely won't be back . Update.....To the owner who commented on my review. I was never asked which massage I wanted. I just asked for 90 min massage. In the future I would suggest letting the customers know what the options are for different massages. Most people want foot massage.

She provided aromatherapy and did not rush the process at any point. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for an acutely intentional massage.

A warm, easy going, present being, Tori brings a wonderful balance of compassion, skill, and intuition to the table. She checks in beforehand, tailors each session accordingly, and is totally committed to a deep, healing, and relaxing experience.

In fact, I feel Tori's energetic and intuitive communication with my body as she works... tuning in, listening, encouraging, soothing, guiding my body and self to relax, surrender, release, and renew. Thank you Tori... you are an awesome bodyworker and a beautiful person! Blessings, Michael

We got the one-hour combination massage and both massage therapists were great and used good strength. Mine focused on deep tissue, pressure points, and some Swedish techniques. He was very good and my partner enjoyed his massage too. I was very surprised by the prices, which are unbeatable. I can't believe they still offer 30-minute foot massages for less than $30. We would definitely return the next time we are in Santa Cruz.

Wendy of Misty Mountain Massage is my absolute favorite! I have been seeing Wendy for massage for…read more2+ years. (She used to work in Scotts Valley, and recently opened her own place!) Wendy provides a massage to best suit my ever changing needs. I love a good deep tissue massage, and also enjoy a relaxing soothing massage. She can do it all, and helps guide me towards the massage that best suits my body when it comes to stress relief, lower back pain, and shoulder tension. She's also extremely knowledgeable about the human body - if she can't resolve the issue, she has an amazing network of body specialists to refer to that absolutely adore her (chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc). Her new massage studio is super relaxing and cozy - I love it so much more than her old office. It's warm, cozy and really reflects her inviting and relaxing presence. If you want a wonderful high quality massage, I highly highly highly recommend Wendy at Misty Mountain Massage.

I walked in tense and walked out looser, lighter, and genuinely grateful. The relief lasted. That's rare. Thank you so much. This is the kind of session I'll book again without hesitation.
