Featured Massage Therapists (about)

Coraly offers massage by appointment only out of her private boutique spa, Beyond Tranquility. When I first pulled up to the address I was a bit confused because it was the leasing office of a housing complex, but it was indeed the correct location; she has a small space off of the gym. The treatment room is very comfortable, quiet, and nicely put-together.

So what about the massage? I can honestly say that Coraly gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever received. It wasn’t one of those foo foo massages that feel nice while they last but don’t really have any lasting benefits. She was comfortable getting in there and really working the tight spots, which, by the way, she found very quickly. Coraly has strong hands and I would bet money that she gives and amazing deep tissue massage. She also has an easygoing personality, which, along with her massage style, has me thinking she’d be a terrific choice for athletes and anyone suffering from sports issues.

If you need a great massage, give Coraly a call immediately!

Sara shares a small office in downtown Carlsbad with a few other therapists and she also offers mobile service. I went to her location which has fairly basic, but clean rooms, and is set off a low-traffic street making it nice and quiet. Before your first session, she’ll have you fill out a form concerning the areas you want treated, along with your general health, and then talk with you a bit to understand what you need and how best to help.

The massages I have received from Sara have been excellent, no question about it. The pressure she uses is perfect, providing a deep Swedish massage that’s firm without being painful, and she makes sure the pressure is right for you. She also incorporates a number of other techniques like reiki and trigger point therapy into the session and does a good job using those to work out problem areas.

You can tell that Sara is a genuinely nice person and she exhibits a pleasant disposition before, during, and after the massage. One thing I really like is that she realizes the session is about you, not her, and because of it will chat if you want to chat or leave you in alone if you want to enjoy the massage in peace. In my experience this is not something that all therapists remember. Highly recommended!
