I've been everywhere.. high end, back street great price, healers, Las Vegas ambiance, you name it- I am a massage snob. This place is an off the beaten path jewel.
I've learned, you can get steam baths, and saunas and pay through the nose.. but seriously, when it comes to body work-- you have to "feel" it. And, this feeling is a vibe you get right away.
When we walked down to the spa area, we weren't sure because it is like a little massage office-it's boutique and cute- but as soon as the therapists came to greet me, they had the vibe you hope for. This is a family run business.. the two ladies were auntie and niece and they were powerhouses. Ask for Jacquelyn and Allie when you go. I asked them what their style was so I could go find it on the mainland- but they said, "oh... our styles are a combination of techniques from around the world- but truly our style is what we call INTUITIVE- we FEEL you, your body, and how to free the energy blocks so your body can begin to let go and heal" Absolutely- after having an intuitive massage, I would look for no other. Yes, you can try their packages which seem like a good deal- The bartender and shop owners in town seem to agree that they are the best when we asked around town for a good massage. We got referred to the Sea of Romance which is a nice value especially with the intuitive healing. I will return to the Catalina Canyon Resort and Spa just to pay a visit to The Spa at Catalina.
(If real essential oils are important to you, being away from downtown noise, huge treatment rooms-- something down to earth, real, and healing- this is the place I for you- Definitely I can not say enough about this place---when you find the real deal, it's hard not to gush)
