Massage in Santa Barbara

“Brent is an amazing healer. A fantastic massage, yes. But this is more than that, he takes time to listen, works stuck energy and gave honest suggestions towards healing. I wish I lived in the area to come more frequently. After one season I feel happy, light with tension/discomfort relieved. Even brought some well welcomed laughs to my less desirable issues like my sweaty hands :) Suggest you look for an appointment in advance, he does seem to book up, I was lucky enough to piggy back on someone's cancelation. Clean, calm space with beautiful energy.“

“I came to Procovry with an acute episode of lower back pain. After my first session with Dr. Jude I felt 95% better and was able to bounce back quickly after my second session. It was easy to schedule an appointment and the open floor plan is very comfortable and inviting. I highly recommend Procovry to anyone looking for pain relief, whether from an acute injury or a chronic condition.“

“Andrea proving me a relaxing massage that met my individual needs and preferences. I recommend her for your massage needs. Thanks Andrea ?????“

“Shannon and her team are amazing! Once this wonderful place gets discovered, we're all in trouble! Great classes, staff, retail, sauna, massage and after class tea community! Like hanging out in a friend's living room...and now it is!“

“Each time I get massaged (without exception), my body is more limber, circulation is better and I have a sense of well being that I did not come in the door with. Scott is professional, friendly, strong! and makes a difference in how I feel every time.“

“Everyone that works here is highly trained. They know the body, they love the body and they make a true difference in those that they touch. I am grateful to have found Sol et Luna and will come back here every time I can.“

“Scott gives the BEST deep tissue massage ! I love the new ceiling set up as I feel Scott can maneuver better and have uniform pressure.“

“I have had both massages and facials with Sharon and very much like her services. She is conscientious and talented. She uses quality products. She cares about her clients. I tried Gua Sha with my facial this week and did notice an energetic difference; as though my face was more distinct, as though the skin was bonded with the bones more precisely. The procedure itself feels comfortable-she is running a broad instrument across the planes of the face in a planned order. I am guessing she is following the muscles of the face. Anyway, I recommend Sharon and her work to anyone that wants to take good care of themselves.“

“Nico is among the best massage therapists/bodyworkers I've ever been to. He's everything you want in a massage therapist. First of all he has "the touch", which can't be taught. You either have it or you don't. For Nico, bodywork isn't just a job, it's also a gift, a purpose, and a passion. He has over 30 years of experience and he's the type of guy who never stops learning about his craft. Bodywork is an art and a science and he's both an artist and a scientist when addressing the complexity of the neuromuscular system. He knows his physiology very well. Checkout his website and read through the articles. His plethora of knowledge is immediately apparent. He's the strongest massage therapist I've ever been to, so when I have a muscle knot in a very deep and strong muscle, he's the guy who can get it to release. But he's offers far more than just physical strength. He is skilled in many different modalities and knows when to apply them. He's well versed in deep tissue work, sports massage, injury-specific massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular work, trigger point therapy, hot stone massage, gua sha, and others. He often combines several of these in a single session as needed to address the specific issues you're dealing with. He's a wealth of knowledge. When years of physical therapy have failed for a variety of the muscle tension-related issues, Nico has provided supstantial relief. For example, one time, all of my symptoms pointed to a very tight psoas muscle. I had been hunched over for days due to the pain. I couldn't stand up straight due to the burning, pinching, radiating pain in my lower back. None of the stretching and strengthening exercises that the physical therapists provided were providing any relief. I asked if they performed psoas releases and each one said no, and that it wasn't necessary for my recovery. I reached out to Nico and asked if he performed psoas releases. He said yes, so I booked the soonest appointment he had. He performed the release and I walked out of the office upright and almost pain free. The massage with Nico was a partially painful 90 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. Nico also understands to the mind-body connection. He doesn't just deal with the muscles and joints. He also knows how the nervous system is deeply connected with the muscular system. I've suffered from chronic headaches in the past. I came to him with this issue and he released some deep tension in my shoulders and neck and this provided substantial relief. Nico is very compassionate and holds space if you need He understands that trauma can be stored in the body, and when tension in the body is released, long held emotions can also be released. I've broken down in tears on the massage table not from physical pain, but from the release of deeply held emotions that came to the surface as a result of the bodywork. Nico understood this and held a safe space for this emotional expression. It wasn't awkward or uncomfortable at all. Nico is also very generous with offering tips and at-home exercises, ergonomic changes, etc. that will help you to address the root causes of your pain, tightness, and other discomforts. Nico is a genuine, good-hearted person who is skilled in his work. He's also a talented painter and his office is filled with is beautiful art. Come for the excellent bodywork, and stay for the art gallery :)“

“I have been seeing Vishal for shoulder pain and back tension. He's excellent at identifying pain spots in the body that are not within my immediate awareness. And while he does address symptoms, he's ensures that he treats all of you: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Ultimately, I feel loads better!“

“I had the best massage, relaxing, calm atmosphere and the masseuse makes you feel like you've known him for years. Thanks again sir. I will be seeing you again“

“I had some pretty horrific hip pain. I came to Romi after seeing two neurologists, two neurosurgeons, two orthopedists, two surgeons, two doctors of physical therapy, an osteopath, a bunch of tests (including X-rays, MRIs, bone scan). Nothing helped. I was unable to stand, let alone walk, without crutches. I got better after working with Romi.“

“Sammi has been my hair stylist since 2006. I have followed her to a few different salons in Santa Barbara and Montecito where she worked over the years, until she opened her own salon, 1329 Salon and Spa. I can't say enough about Sammi. She is just outstanding. My hair always looks amazing thanks to her. I have referred her to many of my friends, who have become Sammi's clients over the years, and have loved her services.“

“I cannot recommend Audrey and Zen Spa enough! I've been a loyal customer for over 15 years and I literally see the positive results in my mirror every day. Audrey customizes each facial - nothing cookie-cutter about it - so every appointment is different and addresses what my skin needs. She is very knowledgeable and uses only the most effective products and ingredients. She is also kind, and cares about her clients. I often get comments about how amazing my skin looks, and I attribute most of that to Audrey. I am not overstating when I say my appointments with Audrey are the highlight of my month - just ask her!“

“I have been receiving massage from Michelle for several years and I am so very happy that I met her! She is a talented therapist, and a genuinely kind and sweet person. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is seeking a high quality massage.“

“Awesome experience. Was going to get a massage because I hurt my back and neck. Learned what Rolfing was when I walked in. I also had a tear in my Meniscus at the time and told him that. I left feeling amazing. A month later my knee is also completely healed. Highly recommend this place, Robert was great.“

“The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome the minute you step in the office. Justine is very kind and sweet. She is very understanding,knowledgeable and cares about her patients. I have only been there a few times and I am already feeling great and seeing results. Will continue to go to Goodland Chiropractic as long as I need to. Thank you to the staff and Justine and my mom for referring me to this amazing place.“

“Mishay is a great salon! I've been seeing Brooke for years and she's an absolute gem besides being a top stylist. Brooke has always done an amazing job coloring my hair, she's a real perfectionist and is one of the sweetest people I know. I would definitely recommend this place for sure!“

“I went here for my very first facial ever and had a wonderful time. Jen asked me a lot of questions about my skin and explained everything so well. I have an allergy to a common ingredient in skin care products and Jen assured me she double checked the ingredients in all the products before my appointment, which was really comforting to know. The facial was incredible, she made sure to let me know what each step was and checked in to make sure everything felt good, and my skin looks great!! Major bonus was the heated bed that was so comfy. I immediately felt comfortable and will absolutely be returning.“

“Great couple massage. Very nice husband and wife team! Relaxing space and close by UCSB“
