Massage in Arcata

“Sheer and utter bliss! During a 10 day road trip which included tons of hiking we decided to book the couples massage at the Spa by the Sea. It was transformative for me. Laurie is exceptionally gifted and as a LMT of over 25 years I know talent when I find it. She has a gift and it goes to her very core. My body felt honored and restored and my mind was calmed and focused. Jamie worked on my partner in crime (and adventure) and while he is not as experienced as me or has the background to know things the way I KNOW them; he was very happy and relaxed. He was very appreciative of her style even if he can’t put his finger on why. Tiffany (owner) was so great with communication. Finally, the location was amazing. We finished right at sunset and it was so beautiful. Such a special and perfect experience! It was exactly what we needed!“

“I've seen a few dozen massage therapists in the last ten years due to work injuries and wear and tear (probably over a 100 massage sessions) and I'd say Michelle is among the top three I've seen....the other two being up in Canada. She is friendly and has plenty of advice to point you in healing directions for your body and will definitely make you feel better after. If you are looking for a healing touch, look no further.“

“I visited Arcata from out of town and attended two different classes at Om Shala. Both were excellent! I signed up and paid for both online. The studio was spacious and peaceful. I hope to come back soon.“

“Best masseuse ever!! She’s got such a great touch and always gives 100% to every massage she does! I’ve never been one to get a regular massage, but once I found her, I started going monthly and it makes such a tremendous difference Do yourself a favor and get a massage with her ASAP!“

“Rachael is my monthly massage therapist and has been for over a year now. I greatly appreciate her dynamic, gentle, firm, and attentive approach. It is very clear she has a thorough understanding and awareness of the physical, mental and energetic connections and tensions held and moved within the body. A session with Rachael transcends your average bodywork experience. Highly recommend you treat yourself to this healing bodywork.“

“I was fortunate enough to have two massages by Sophie. The massage helped to loosen all the tight muscles and eliminate my pain and stiffness.“

“MJ is an intuitive and gifted body worker. She is a gift to those whom she comes into contact with. I met MJ a year ago and my life has been even more blessed with her in it. She has changed my body in huge ways and helped me to release a lot of heavy trauma I have been carrying for many years. I will forever feel blessed and honored to know her and have her work her magic on my vessel. Thank you MJ for your compassion, intuitive gifts, and deep kinship I feel with you. ✨??“

“Great service and friendly. I tried the cryo and the compression therapy for the first time after some long training sessions and recovery was so much faster. Definitely a must try!“

“Erin is such a wonderful person, both beautiful inside and out. She made me feel so relaxed, comfortable, and cozy. I felt completely safe dressing down and talking with her about all my problems. She knows her way around the body EXTREMELY well, and helped ease mine after I got beaten up at physical therapy earlier that day. Prices are super reasonable, and I'll definitely be coming back ❤ Highly, HIGHLY recommend her!!!!!!“

“I’ve tried chiropractic & massage methods to alleviate pain over the years but Rolfing with Emily has been the best method by far. I really messed up my shoulder climbing to where I had no mobility in my neck and after an hour session, I could rotate my neck in all directions giving me tremendous relief. My shoulder continued to loosen hour by hour after the session giving me long term results. This therapy is relaxing & truly healing making it a magical & worthwhile experience. You won’t regret putting your body & money in her caring hands.“

“What a hidden gem in Arcata! I highly recommend coming here for waxing. Very professional, spotlessly clean, and the space has a beautiful aesthetic. Chelsea was on time, professional, polite, and the music and vibe was on point. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you again Chelsea!“

“Master Corey Lewis and his staff are like a family. They listen to the students and their families. Always a positive atmosphere. Encouraging you every step of the way. I highly recommend Sun Yi's Academy of Tae Kwon Do to everyone in our community. Everyone is welcome there. Please Come and Check them out you will for your own eyes just how awesome Sun Yi's really is.“

“I've been getting massages from Libby for many years. Her massage studio is quiet, warm and welcoming. She is patient and sympathetic to my complaints of aches and pains from life with scoliosis and seems to know intuitively how to relieve what ails me. I always leave feeling calm, relaxed and taller :)“

“I have never been to disbusiness, but I am recommended because it's an arcada. I love arcada so much and all the businesses over there are just wonderful! Everybody has to set support there. Businesses“

“Really happy to have found this spot. Very convenient location. The place has a serene atmosphere. The massage therapist was really nice and checked multiple times the pressure was good and adjusted accordingly. I walked away feeling refreshed and less achy.“

“I loved my massage here. Clean, friendly and refreshing! I’m definitely going back. They have a frequent customer card.“

“The multiple massages I and my partner have each received from Karina Santa Cruz have been truly excellent. I've been worked on by dozens of people with all kinds of skill levels and modalities and locales over twenty+ years (my back has been variously described by professionals as a car wreck and sheet metal with gravel in it) and feel comfortable calling Karina's a special set of magic hands. It's not just her hands, of course, it's her. She comes to the work with the kind of depth and breadth of practice that shows up in surprising and healing ways. She's got power moves! Many skilled therapists kinda do the same thing on every one they meet, which can work out fine, but Karina immediately attuned to what was going on with me and took some chances that released pain in my shoulder that had become crippling in intensity. I remain in her debt. YMMV of course but totally worth going anywhere for talent this good. Thank you Karina! So grateful for you!!“

“Absolutely top notch. My hips have been offset for a decade from a fall and these ladies have FIXED ME. Chiropractic and normal massage didn't, hands on DID, in 4 one hour visits I can feel a massive change.
My boyfriend recommended them to me because hes seeing them for a similar muscle injury. We both adore them and their physical therapy massages 100% target your problem area better than you could ever imagine. Their front desk lady is great and prices are great especially for the level of care you recieve. Their office is even decorated really nicely. Compared to other local therapists I've seen for other issues, which used a tens unit but no massage, they are what their name describes - hands on.
Just go for it!!“

“My chiropractor told me to get a deep-tissue massage. We are both happy with the results! It was incredible! I've already made my next appointment! Thank you!“
