Massage in Santa Cruz

“Definitely an intuitive and experienced healer - I feel much more grounded un my feet after just one session! Thank you <3“

“I had a great experience with Santa Cruz Bodywork! Don Grey is a fantastic massage therapist. He is both adept with his massage techniques and has a very respectful and collaborative approach. I have some issues in my background that I wanted to note, and Don's careful listening and reassuring responses made me feel completely comfortable with him. I have multiple physical issues, and I have already noticed positive results from my first massage--so much so that I've booked multiple follow-up sessions. I also appreciate the clarity of the website and ease of booking appointments. Additionally, the office is conveniently located, comfortable, and support staff is warm, professional, and welcoming. I highly recommend Don Grey and Santa Cruz Bodywork!“

“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've been coming to Dr. Brandon for a couple years now and every time I have an appointment, I leave feeling better, I leave with more knowledge, and I leave with a plan. He has helped me with my shoulder, back and ankle. I would absolutely %100 recommend him.“

“I had the experience of visiting Dr. Suhas in Dec of 2021 to treat inflammation and weight problems, which were chronic conditions for me that caused pain, low energy, and limiting mobility. Ayurvedic Healing was new to me, but I practiced the guidance offered without finding it difficult or overly restrictive, and grew open to learning about the mind-body approach to healing. Dr. Suhas was a patient teacher and guide, and I took to the program with relative ease. I saw results immediately, and I hit my target weight goals within 6 months, losing 35 lbs in that period. Yoga, meditation, simple walking/hiking, and changing my orientation to food with mindful eating yielded profound results. It was not difficult to do. Over the next year I lost another 10lbs and now weigh what I weighed my last year in college. I haven't seen that weight at any other time in my adult life. Ultimately, my visit to Dr. Suhas was a life-changing event, though I was skeptical at age 65 that I could achieve such dramatic improvements. It's approaching 3 years of practicing an Ayurvedic lifestyle. I have know doubt that I've left bad health habits, poor diet, and mysterious health challenges behind. I feel such things are no longer a part of my life. I could not recommend Dr. Suhas in stronger terms. His approach, the Ayurvedic program, works - in my case, dramatically. slhicks Oakland,CA“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Amazing experience! Easy to schedule and they were able to work with my insurance. Dr. Murray was wonderful- he listened to what I was looking for and I always felt better after each adjustment. I would highly recommend Dr. Murray and his wife to anyone needing a chiropractor!“

“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 had a couple of cranial sacral sessions with Meghan and they have been super helpful for my TMJ! Meghan actually put her hands in my mouth to release these areas of tension. I left with much more ease and relaxation in my jaws. Not to mention the rest of the session was incredibly relaxing and nurturing for my whole body. Meghan is super warm, kind, welcoming and you won’t regret booking a session with her!“

“My back, neck, and shoulders were in pain and Crystal's myofascial release massage gave me relief and deep relaxation. She also helped melt stress I was carrying in my arms and legs that I wasn't even aware of but opened me up to feeling so much better. As someone who works long hours on a computer, I will definitely be returning for regular stress relief support.“

“I struggled to conceive for a year and decided that I needed to try something new before taking the western medical approach. I found Santa Cruz Ayurveda, met Manish for a consultation, and signed up for the 6-month gut healing protocol. I was instantly hooked. Manish is so knowledgeable and passionate about healing through Ayurveda. I followed his protocol and became pregnant four weeks later. Manish served as an incredible guide. He held my hand through the 6-month process and answered all of my questions. His recipes are delicious! Overall, I feel like a new person. I am calm, grounded, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be. This is exactly how I wanted to feel before entering motherhood. I have recommend Santa Cruz Ayurveda to anyone struggling with health issues and/or emotional, mental, or physical imbalances. I also highly recommend adding the Abhyanga massage. Sheyna is incredible! This program was worth every penny. Thank you, Santa Cruz Ayurveda!“

“This was my first facial at this location. Due to covid I had not had a facial in 13 months and my skin showed it. Kathleen gave me an outstanding facial. She was thorough and I was impressed with the product line she uses. What was a wonderful plus was the massage to my feet and the having my hands treated with a rich cream and put into heated gloves. Kathleen was so professional and pleasant. She knows skin care well and answered any questions I had regarding products. The ambience here was lovely and very relaxing. My skin glowed after my facial! I will be a regular customer.“
