My first experience here was spectacular. 5 stars. I got a prenatal massage with Jane. They had a…read morepregnancy pillow that I flipped around with me when I changed sides. It was blissful. My second experience - I booked in advance again with Jane. Someone from the spa called me to change my time 30 minutes later - no problem. I get there and I'm taken to the massage room. First problem, my therapist was NOT Jane. I was not notified on the call that the therapist was not available- wasn't even mentioned. Fine, I thought it would be ok to try someone else. The massage was sub par - didn't seem like they knew how to position me (prenatal) I had to ask for pillows for support. They used a pregnancy pillow that was tucked in with a sheet. Didn't flip the pillow around when I needed to switch sides. Overall not a good experience. I think I'm being generous with three stars. Only because that first experience with Jane was heavenly. Took off one star for the 2nd bad experience, and another star for not letting me know in advance that the therapist was not available. Really wanted to like this place. :(

Priscila is the best! Hands down and no contest!…read more I'm a full time student/intern/assistant/receptionist which means I spend a LOT of time in chairs and desks. My back, neck, and shoulders were really feeling the toll of sitting at different heights and having different ranges of lumbar support. Traveling from place to place doesn't help either. I decided it's time to seek therapy. I stumbled upon Priscila via Yelp. According to her reviews, she is very good at her work. I went to her website to see her services. Wow!!! I'm amazed at the services and prices! You really can't beat them!! Super affordable and exactly what I was looking for! So I contacted her via email for a two hour deep tissue massage. This woman deserves a prize for her work. The first thing she did was to ask what my situation was and where I needed the most attention. After explaining she gives you time to get comfortable and makes sure that you are relaxed for what comes next. She knows the body very well and was able to locate all of the knots and troubled areas. The piano music and oils she used just added to the pure release of pain and pressure in my back and neck area. She even found spots in my arms and hips that I had no idea were so stressed! Shows how little I knew about my own body and shows her expertise. By the time she finished, I was completely relaxed and a lot of my pain was gone! After the massage was over, she took the time to make sure I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. I was pretty tender in my low back but she explained that she did go pretty deep to work out the knots. She gave me advice on how to relieve some of my everyday pains. Discounts for SDSU students and staff!!! Definitely would recommend her for anyone and everyone! Thank you so much!!!

I called for an appointment to have a Swedish massage. It was on the 2nd floor in a weird spot that…read moreisn't easy to find. I asked if they knew how to do a Swedish massage as advertised and was told yes. As I was getting a massage, it didn't feel like my normal Swedish massage, so I asked if she knew how to do Swedish. She said that she doesn't but can do an Asian massage but that wasn't what I wanted. Why did they already say that they could do it when they couldn't? Since I already paid, there was nothing that I could do. It was ok but not what I asked for. They also charged an extra $2 for using my credit card. I probably won't return because I didn't get what I asked for. There are so many places to choose from and you need to listen to the customer.

Such a Peaceful Hidden Gem!…read more My husband and I went to The Forest Spa for a couples massage, and it was truly one of the best experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the peaceful atmosphere made us feel completely relaxed. It's a small, quiet, and cozy place -- beautifully clean and thoughtfully set up for comfort. Our therapists were amazing -- professional, attentive, and so skilled that I actually fell asleep during the massage! Every detail, from the soft blankets to the gentle lighting, added to the calm and rejuvenating experience. We both left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and grateful to have found this little sanctuary.
