Massage in Santa Cruz

“I arrived to the place and the waiting area was very clean and welcoming. I was quickly greeted by Yvonne and she explained a bit about the massage. I got a lymphatic drainage massage. It was so soothing and amazing. Music was calming and it was nice and dark in the room and very clean. She was extremely professional and gentle. She ensured my chest was covered while I adjusted myself from being face down. Great experience and I can't wait to go back!!“

“We’ve trusted Dr. Craig with the whole family now for over 15 years. Now, even the newest addition at 5 months old has been seen. I now travel from Arizona, and my first stop is to Dr. Craig!! If only I could have him magically travel with me. He’s treated every possible concern and I’ve always come out better equipped to manage my ever-changing , amazingly resilient human body thanks to his magical touch!!“

“This place needs more 5* reviews! Best in Santa Cruz easily and it's not even close. Believe me, I've had hundreds of massages. From the cleanliness of the place to the skills of the masseuses and professionalism of the front desk staff, Best Thai lives up to its name! Don't waste your time trying other spas, this is the place to go to. Ask for Ting, guaranteed 10/10.“

“I've been receiving monthly deep tissue massages at Essentia for the past year and a half. The staff are professional, experts in their craft, and deliver the highest quality massages tailored to my particular needs. The business is clean and inviting and even has a darling retail space with cards, jewelry, wellness products and more. Highly recommend massage therapists Kayla and Laura. Best spot for a massage in Santa Cruz!“

“I thought I just did this but will try to repeat. I have had wonderful results at Precision through the many times I have been there. Last time was different. My last visit was 8/5/25. I started having severe pain in my right arm on 8/6/25. Because of that, I have been unable to do my PT, Reach, or lift objects without severe pain. This is also affecting my work at my job. I have used my Tens Unit yesterday and this morning but that has only brought little relief. I was going to address it the next time I came in. Even lifting my coffee cup is painful.“

“Best massage ever. Very professional. I have shoulder problems and they paid special attention to ensure that my shoulder joint was protected and relaxed at the same time. Will definitely be back weekly. Would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a quality massage.“

“Don is a very skilled bodyworker. He is kind and has a lovely, sensitive touch. With a gentle pressure, the work is very deep.
I highly recommend Don as a talented bodyworker.“

“Facial left me glowing with dewy skin. I was completely blissed out during my appointment. Beth was so kind and is excellent and her craft.“

“Wholeheartedly recommend Rachel Marie for color, corrections, hi/lo lights, cuts and blowouts. She is a gifted stylist taking care of my hair needs for over 10 years. And we love Jasper ?“

“Loved the night experience we booked an outdoor sauna and tub. The staff were friendly and attentive. My only complaint/suggestion for improvement would be the lighting. The outdoor tub had one light that felt very annoying kind of like standing outside with a spot light I feel the experience would be better with some accent lighting or hanging outdoor little lights. Would still recommend and definitely would visit again.“

“We had an amazing experience at this spa. We booked the 1.5 hrs for the private tub and sauna. The booking came with two complimentary teas, which are all so good. Our visit was back in July, and although it was very relaxing, it might've been better suited for colder months. It didn't seem like we could adjust the temperature. The attendants were very nice and social. My only tip would be to make sure you keep track of your time! The spa attendants will notify you when you have 10 minutes left, but it doesn't hurt to track the time yourself.“

“Coko is magical! I always leave her sessions rebuilt, reconnected and realigned from the inside out. Mahalo!“

“I have seen Michelle many times over the course of a couple years. Most recently I got facials from her once a week for a couple months in light of a hormonal acne flare up. In those couple months my skin made so much more progress than it did from going to a dermatologist and using antibiotics and prescribed topicals. I stopped using those products and started using Michelles products that she makes herself. Her services, products and advice have led me to have clean skin in such a short amount of time, I am extremely grateful! Not only is she an expert at her craft, she is also hilarious and very fun to talk to. I always look forward to our convsersations and being in her energy. I couldn't recommend her more, thanks Michelle!“

“Just had, as far as I can remember, the BEST massage I ever had. I always appreciate the cleanliness and the staff is so nice and welcoming. Thank you! I think it’s the best deal in town, be sure to leave your masseuse a good tip ?“

“This was so fun and relaxing. We did private hot tub and couldn't believe how inexpensive it was...Will do it again!“

“I think this was my 9th treatment? She got right in to the place I am feeling the most pain. I am feeling so much better!!“

“I have had persistent pain on my left shoulder that extends down my body. The day after my treatment the pain was gone, I felt lightness I haven't felt in years, and my posture was aligned. Jenny's expertise and knowledge of the body is unparalleled, I highly recommend her.“

“Evelyn is a phenomenal massage therapist and acupuncturist, who is extremely skilled and effective in the work she does. I’ve missed her very much since I moved to Oregon nearly 4 years ago, and I’m grateful that she was able to fit me into her schedule while I’m back in town for a visit. She was able to get some very tense and stubborn muscles to release in my neck, back, hips and legs, and I feel SO much better than I have in months. The difference is truly miraculous, she is simply the best!!“

“Phil is the best - he is very interested in learning new/effective methods including technological add ons that have been super helpful to me. He and his staff are genuinely loving and caring. I highly recommend.“

“Lisa is one of the best massage therapists that I have ever seen. She is friendly and intuitive. I've seen her quite a few times. My body feels so much better after a massage with her.“

“Michelle was wonderful. I was pretty skeptical but it was just what I needed and she was very kind and made me feel comfortable. As soon as she started I could feel how skilled and professional she is. Thank you Michelle!“

“Melanie is a truly talented healer and has been a gift to my Mom in leadership and creating the community of her dreams.“

“Highly Recommended !Started seeing Gemma when a friend gifted me a massage 5 years ago and continue seeing her to this day.Her expertise, combined with her compassionate approach in caring for the whole person, mind,body and spirit makes for a unique healing experience in a serene, safe, calming atmosphere.Gemma always displays a high level of professionalism and made me feel comfortable throughout my sessions with her. Listening attentively to my concerns and providing personalized treatment that yielded positive results every time.Through some very personally difficult times, her guidance and therapeutic massage combined has been nothing short of positive and enriching.A blended session, coaching and bodywork is best for me.Pricing is very transparent and more than fair.Jimmy C“

“I received friendly, prompt & efficient service every visit to this facility. I'm using hyperbaric oxygen therapy for improving my general health.“

“Jen is a skilled and professional healer, incorporating a variety of techniques including deep tissue, cupping, Thai massage, hot stones, shiatsu, and infrared heat. She always listens to what's ailing me, applying her thoughtful and systematic expertise to any spots of tension or trouble. Jen approaches each massage with compassionate dedication, a gentle sense of humor, and creative problem solving to trouble shoot my many aches and pains. When I first met Jen, I was just beginning doctoral coursework; it's no exaggeration to say she was integral to my physical and mental well-bring during very difficult times. Before she moved to Santa Cruz, I saw Jen every 2 weeks for over 2 years at Mountain Soulscape in South Lake Tahoe. When Jen comes back to visit, I go out of my way to get on her schedule. Can't recommend her highly enough!“
