Massage in Santa Cruz

“Awesome Thai massage. Was able to do a couples massage with same-day appointment. Very clean and pretty inside and great technique. Would come every month if I lived closer!“

“It’s a gift to be able to experience bodywork from Yvonne. I always leave feeling amazing.

The space is clean and has a genuinely relaxing atmosphere — it’s easy to settle in and let go.

What sets Yvonne apart is how she closes each session: she shares what she learned about my body during the work and gives me concrete ways to keep making progress on my own. That kind of feedback makes each session build on the last.

Highly recommend.“

“I have been able quickly setup my appointment on line. The service is always on time, always professional.“

“Love Essentia! It’s my go-to spot for massage in Santa Cruz- highly recommend!“

“Kalissa and Andrew my PT’s, have been so wonderful . They listen and encourages my input in my care.“

“Sarah is an amazing massage therapist. Whether you're looking for a relaxing session or a recovery massage after pushing your body hard in the gym, she is your person. She's great at finding the right level of pressure and stimulation both through her own feeling and by listening to the patient. She has a deep knowledge of the body and how different muscles interact with each other, which allows her to work on the right muscle even when the issue manifests itself elsewhere. Couldn't recommend her more!“

“5 Stars – No Wimpy Bullsh*t, Just a Really Great Massage

Kanda Thai Massage is fantastic. I am picky as hell about massage, especially when it comes to deep pressure, and they absolutely deliver. Not the fake deep tissue where they glide lotion around and call it healing. I mean real, consistent, strong pressure that actually works.

The environment is also really nice—clean, peaceful, and welcoming without any weird pretentious spa energy. Just a solid, relaxing place with people who clearly know what the hell they’re doing.

If you like deep pressure and want a massage that actually helps your body instead of just wasting your time and money, Kanda Thai Massage is absolutely worth it.

I love all you people.
Love and ((HUGS)),

“I went there for Botox and filler in the corners of my mouth and my top lip mildly injected. All for age wrinkles basically! Loved the filler and my lips! I had my full face Xeomin (66 units) done and it never fully froze me and I wanted to be frozen not just soften lol so I need to personally probably use a different product but that’s what they offered at the time. They did have me back for touch up. The service is great and Penny is awesome. Jaimi helped as well and was super nice 😊“

“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.“

“A beautiful relaxing spa! Gem of a place. Masseuse was excellent & friendly. Worth visiting again. Paid street parking either with quarters or the park mobile app.“

“I got the couple's massage with hot tub session. Massage was more of therputic rather than deep tissue or any other. The tempo is slow and claming, the water sounds from the fountain outdoor makes the entire environment very relaxing. Hot tub area is private and outdoor. Entire place is private and has sauna and shower area as well. After massage, you're directed to the hot tub area and get to enjoy the time in the hot tub. Teas and robs and towels are included.“

“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 ?“

“Working with Coko has been one of the most meaningful investments I’ve made in my well-being. Her bodywork is remarkably gentle yet deeply transformative. She intuitively tailors each session, drawing from a range of techniques to support exactly what my body needs. The benefits of each session extend well beyond the treatment itself, and her warmth, care, and attentiveness make it clear that your well-being is always her top priority. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Menopause has nothing on the healing magic of Michelle at Adorn Apothecary! I went to Adorn Apothecary with deep cystic acne, psoriasis and migraines. I can’t begin to tell you how badly menopausal hormone influx had destroyed my face. I started going in for facials weekly for a couple of months and the outcome is priceless. The acne has calmed and my face feels like my own again. I’ve always suffered from psoriasis, mostly in my scalp, but lately I’ve been getting horrible, painful patches in my face, low back, and ears. I started using the moisturizer to w Michelle makes at Adorn and it like my skin is coming back to life, hydrated and healing. Finally, probably the most important and life changing experience of Reiki. I have suffered from debilitating migraines for years without relief. I did an add-on Reiki session to a facial a few months ago and I swear, the migraines left. I can’t say enough about Adorn Apothecary and Michelle’s services and products. It is more than simply cosmetic, it’s magical.“

“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.“

“Coko is wonderful with my teenage son. He suffers from occasional migraines, has poor postural habits and struggles with anxiety. He always leaves her treatments feeling “looser”, calm, relaxed and more upright.“

“Let me tell you one thing I've been to many massage parlors and Lola was absolutely phenomenal if you want a great massage ask for Lola she knows exactly what she's doing I gave her a $100 tip for 90 minutes and went back the next day for another hour and I'm from Sacramento California just there for the weekend probably one of the best massages I've ever had“

“Evelyn is absolutely fantastic! I have been seeing her over the past few years and she has always been so kind and accommodating to my schedule. Evelyn truly has healing hands and always provides supportive advice and truly listens to you. I love that she always follows up with me, checking in and making me feel as if my well being is important to her. Her services in whole body care is top level and she is the only person I trust!! Any time I've been to see her she ensures the environment is calm and inviting. I definitely recommend her care!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have had compassionate and therapeutics support and treatment from Grace Ku, for over 11/2 years. I’ve enjoyed and have felt the progressive changes of my body responding to Grace’s varied modalities to treat my chronic ailments. My sense of wellbeing in my body has dramatically improved. I consider Grace my primary caregiver to support my total health picture. Thank you Grace!“

“Quite frankly one of the best massages I have ever had, and I have had body work of all kinds for nearly 20 years. He is sincere in his website's bio in that he listens to your whole being-- the story you & your body is telling--and encourages you to listen back. I am grateful he's in our community and I highly recommend if you are also in Santa Cruz.“

“I had the pleasure of working with Lisa while on vacation in the Santa Cruz area. Lisa was extremely helpful and thoughtful when I contacted her for her for some massage work ahead of an event. She did an excellent job working on my problem areas as discussed. have no hesitation in recommending her services for your massage needs. Thank you Lisa!“

“J. J. Wellness Massage has replaced Golden Hand Massage that served the public 14 years with a physical and mental rewarding treatment. JJWM extends that great treatment providing a relaxing environment designed to provide additional comfort.“

“Gemma is incredibly skilled and has such a warm energy. I felt so comfortable throughout our session and learned a lot about myself and my body from working with her. She has a perfect balance of knowledge and intuition. Not only did I feel better physically afterwards, but also emotionally and energetically. She truly works magic and has so much wisdom to share.

She’s especially great at communication and tailoring her sessions to specific needs, in creative ways. Do yourself a favor and book a session, you deserve it! ✨“
