A magical massage. A very relaxing yet therapeutic experience. We had the best view and left completely relaxed. I had a couples massage by Michelle and Noel and I we will definitely return. An hour and half is a must. Im glad we did it. Very intimate and comfortable setting.

First time my husband and I got a couples massage & it was definitely something to remember, it felt awesome. Both masseuses were wonderful. Worth the 2 hr drive!!

We decided mid-morning on Sunday that we wanted a massage before heading home. They (Michelle and Heidi) were able to get us in no problem. I have had many massages and this was, by far, one of the best. The studio was also wonderful and added to the relaxing experience. We will certainly revisit when we are back in town.

I have had a great experience at Carmel Massage. The ambiance was soothing, with calming music playing in the background.Noel was intuitive and attentive to my needs. She took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences before starting the session, ensuring that I was comfortable throughout the entire massage.After the massage, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed, both physically and mentally. I left the session feeling lighter, more relaxed, and with a sense of overall well-being. I highly recommend Carmel Massage to anyone looking for a skilled and caring masseuse.

Noel at Carmel Massage gave me quite possibly the best massage of my life. I went in with incredible neck pain that caused pulling through my upper back and chest. I left feeling like a new person. Noel is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She cares greatly about helping people feel better through body work. I highly recommend!!!

Amazing! Best massage in Carmel, and all of Northern California. Carmel Massage is magic and the only choice for a great treatment. Besides an interesting location you can only get in Carmel, the awareness of your body and getting a massage that actually improves your body is unique to Carmel Massage. Whenever I have a headache or need to relax, Camel Massage is the only option. Other places tend to do mediocre rubbing oil on you and charge you outrageously without any care for your body as Carmel Massage does. I travel extensively and know this is the only place to go.

I have been getting body work for four decades - and have gotten massages all over the world in many different types of places - and by far, Noel is in the Top 3 of anyone who has laid hands on me. She is exceptionally knowledgable about the body, knows how muscles work and effect each other, and shes REALLY strong. For me, massage is a necessity due to health issues - and while I know Noel could easily handle a relaxing experience, I need her for technical and complex functional issues. But most of all, Noel is caring and makes sure you have the experience you want. Caution: personally, while I DIG Noels venue overlooking the gateway to Carmel Valley, hers is not a spa environment. If you want stupid spa music and candles and expensive bathrobes, dont go to Noel. If you want a technically sound massage that gets you back on track, go see her.

My wife & I scheduled two 90min. deep tissue massages and our therapists were absolutely amazing. They checked in with us to make sure the pressure was perfect. Very professional. Their skilled hands worked wonders on both of our bodies. Thank you Noel & Michelle!!

I had never received a massage prior to this experience. When I booked I was a little nervous but it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It’s very cozy, friendly and Noel really knows what she is doing as far as finding the nots and releasing tension within the muscles. 10/10 recommend!

The best spot for massages! My husband and I had an amazing time. The crackle of the fire place and the soft music in the background made it a relaxing calm experience. I was recently in a car accident and this massage did wonders for my back pain. Definitely coming back!

My wife and I received a very relaxing massage. Great skills and extremely sanitary. I fell asleep a couple of times it was so peaceful. My wife is pregnant and her masseuse was very accommodating and made her feel at ease.

Noel & Michelle were amazing from the moment we arrived until we departed. Their treatment area is very soothing and doesnt feel cold like most commercial massage places.These ladies are way more than your typically defined masseuse. They approach your treatment from a holistic healthcare perspective and from 15+ years experience. They listen to your body and understand how nuance in treatment can lead to more effective results. They used techniques on areas me and my wife had never experienced...and weve had a significant amount of massages, both domestically and during our travels abroad.Our only regret was doing the 60 minute treatment vs the 90. Next time, likely this Summer, when we are back enjoying Carmel/PB/Monterey, we will definitely be back for the 90!

I had a great deep tissue massage by Noel. Noel is an AMAZING masseuse! I had a lot of tension and pain in my back, neck and shoulders. Noel worked on all of my issues. She also gave me stretches to do at home. Highly recommend Noel!

The absolute best massage experience you can get in the area. They’ve given my wife multiple pre and post natal massages, and I have had several deep tissue and structural integration massages and have left feeling wonderful every time.

I thought long and hard about whether or not I would write a review but decided to go ahead and do it. I think you feel pressured to tell someone they were great when you felt uncomfortable. I booked a massage for a girls weekend. I will say both friends really enjoyed their massages. I told Noel my hips were uneven from scoliosis and I had recently given birth so my lower and midback get tight.Noel proceeded to bring all the massages therapists in the room to look at a couple of bug bites on me and she pretty much humiliated me at the beginning of the massage. Who does this? It was like that episode of friends where Ross has a growth on his butt. Rule of thumb lady, if you see something on someone that cant be fixed in five seconds, its rude to bring it up, so dont! I paid you to help me relax, not make comments about my skin.She spent the rest of the time digging in my hips, rubbed my arms, and legs. Didnt rub my back barely at all. One of the worst massages Ive ever had. Recommended stretches to me that were worthless and offered no real challenge as someone who is an experienced Yogi and she knew this. I felt like I paid to be embarrassed in front of my friends. Would not return, would not recommend.

My daughter and I had massages with Noelle & Brittany - we were very pleased and so relaxed afterwards. The setting is lovely and peaceful. Both gave amazing massages with just the right depth along with stretching to ease tight muscles. We just wish we lived closer so we could schedule regularly!

These therapists are AMAZING & so knowledgeable. The setting is lovely (dont be put off by the location). We were vacationing and wanted a couples massage to relax. They were so helpful & accommodating. Hope to make it back again when we are passing through. Thank you!!

I have seen Noelle for years and every time she fixes my issues more thoroughly than anyone who I have ever been to. She is professional and exceptional at what she does!

An absolutely lovely house with a magical view. The best hot stone massage (with aromatherapy) I have ever had. It is pricey, but for me, at this time in my life, it was worth it. I felt very, very comfortable with Noel. Her confidence in her own expertise is calming in and of itself. Ill be coming back!

I booked a couples massage for 2 good friends to celebrate one of the parties 85th birthday. This was after a phone conversation with a lady who identified herself as the owner (Noel Mills) and a check was sent for $270 dated 9/15/2022. The massages were booked for the 7th of January which left plenty of time to send a gift certificate. When one did not arrive I carefully photocopied the cancelled check and gave it to my friends. Finding the place was an adventure -- it is a private home and not clearly marked at all. The massages were for one hour and reported as being adequate. However the real fun began when my friend handed her masseuse $20 for the tip.The reaction? An incredulous laugh and the statement Massages cost a lot more than $20. At that point the photocopy of the cancelled check was produced and was studied in great detail before being reluctantly accepted. Neither one of the 2 women who gave the massages were aware of the treatments being pre-paid. The verdict? It was an expensive mistake.

Awesome massage! My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage. Noel and Brittany were both fantastic. We left feeling great and like each of our massage therapists were really able to read and understand our bodies. Brittany found some spots I didn’t know were tense and they both sent us home with some stretches to help long term. Can’t say enough positive things about both of them!

Review №27

Absolutely fantastic experience. I specified what I wanted in a massage and Michelle went above and beyond. I’m an athlete so she focused her deep tissue techniques on all the key spots where my muscles were right. She and Noel are incredibly knowledgeable about the body and the muscles/joints. I went with my boyfriend for the couples massage and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. My boyfriend said he felt like he was in Vienna because of the great atmosphere and music. Highly recommended!

My husband managed to find Noel, my masseuse when we lived here before. He booked a massage for me as a wonderful birthday present. I enjoyed reconnecting with my dear friend, and she managed to find many of the knots in my body caused by all of the stresses of our move.Noel is a wonderful masseuse, and I swear my body remembers her touch.She now practices in a lovely cabin near Carmel, Ca. The lovely setting and the view contribute to relaxation and enhance your massage.

My husband and I took our babymoon to Yosemite and Carmel-by-the-sea, and I spent an afternoon here for a prenatal massage. Hands down, this was the best massage I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few. I had a 90 minute prenatal massage from Brittany, and not only was the massage absolutely wonderful-especially after flights, hikes in Yosemite, and sitting in a car for hours-but she also gave me great tips for future stretches to help with my pregnancy and was genuinely just so nice beforehand and afterward. I would 100% come back here if I’m in the area and I would recommend to anyone looking for a massage in the area to check it out!

I have a very physical job and I need a deep tissue healing massage which is what I get from Noelle at Carmel Massage. The setting is so beautiful, peaceful and private. I always feel like I get a personalized massage that works on the many tight muscles that being a hairstylist leave me with. I leave feeling like I can heal myself because she is so willing to give me ideas on how to stretch and move so I dont keep repeating the same old patterns. I highly recommend becoming a regular client of Carmel Massage. You wont be sorry...

Review №32

Have had many massages with Noelle. She is awesome. I like a person that can give a very deep massage, and a lot of people are too light for my taste. Noelle gets right into those tight muscles. I have noticed a major difference in how my body has strengthened, especially when I exercise.

I am now a frequent recipient of Noels deep tissue massage. I experience a lot of pain and tension due to the strain of working as a server and having the posture of a student. Before I saw Noel I had tried countless massages in hopes of relief but often found them to be uncomfortable and ineffective. Make no mistake, my back, neck and shoulders were knotted in to one extensive back ache; but with perfectly precise and effective deep tissue massage I have achieved better health. I have felt the results of Noels work; a dramatic decrease in the strain, pain and trigger points (knots) in my body, and it is amazing how much each session does. I always leave feeling the difference in my back and overall have seen a vast improvement in my health. If you want or need a great massage you cannot miss Carmel Massage, thank me later.

Epic massage. I am picky. Very, very particular, especially when it comes to bodywork. The affects this massage had the next day were positively phenomenal. Highly recommended! Ive been taking walks on the beach and doing other things I havent done in months. Feeling fab. Go get a killer massage and feel good.
