I've had two 2-hour massages and one 60-minute session here, and every single one was excellent--incredible technique, perfect pressure, deeply relaxing, and truly therapeutic. Aida is magical. I highly, highly recommend her and really, the entire team. Every time I come in I'm exhausted and achy, and every time I leave feeling refreshed, reset, and ready to get back to work. Thank you a million times. This place is something special.

This is an Asian massage spa that offers great value. Housed in an older building on Soquel Drive…read morenear Porter. They have lots of therapy rooms along a main corridor. I went in to try a 60 minute massage for the 1st time yesterday. I texted the main number the day before to make a 2pm appointment on a Thursday for a deep tissue massage. My therapist was Noni. Overall, it was a good massage, but it was more of a swedish massage with some hot stone treatment thrown in. Pressure was good, and my therapist did regularly ask if the pressure was right. She did cover my full body, worked my back and neck really well, and included some stretching in the full 60 minutes. However, it did seem a bit frantic and rushed and not quite as relaxing as I prefer. Will probably give them another try and request a 90 minute deep tissue sports massage without the hot stones. Currently $60 cash/$63 credit card for 60 minutes. Almost all the therapists are female.

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.

I have asked them to fix it. The guy at the front got annoyed with me, saying I am the only person who notices this. He showed me the YouTube on his phone, which shows a three hour loop. Well, the thing is stuck on one song (which I could now easily play on the piano, having heard it so many times), and he refuses to believe me. I can't read the Chinese characters on his phone screen to show him how to fix it. The guy told me to bring my own headphones next time (I tried this once and couldn't relax with two sources of music playing at once). He was clearly unhappy with me. And I was unhappy too, because now I don't want to go back to my favorite massage place. Every massage I have had there was great (except for the danged music). Has anybody else noticed the five-minute music loop there? I'd be really curious to know whether it bothers anyone else. I would suspect that anyone with the slightest bit of musical background would find it irritating, as I do.

The lady just put some oil on my back and pretty much rubbed it on my back for most of the time. She said she doesn't know how to massage head and feet so she didn't touch those area.

She has very soft hands that hug your muscles and relief any pain you had. I had a deep tissue massage with her and I felt so relaxed after her treatment. I had a surgery lately and my back and neck muscles were so sore - she really helped me. She will adjust herself to the pressure you like, she always checks on you and make sure you're very comfortable. I wasn't comfortable with lying on my tummy and she adapted herself to my positions and provided a great massage. I'm very glad I found Tricia as my previous massage therapist's availability is tight and I'm looking for someone that is more available. Thank you Tricia, you're a real healer!
