Apple was incredible. I got a deep tissue massage and her attention to detail was present the whole entire time. She really focused on getting some tough knots out of my back and shoulder and did a great job applying the right amount of pressure. She was super professional, skilled, and communicative to make sure I was feeling good throughout. Im already thinking about the next time I will be back. I cant recommend this place and Apple enough!
Best massage I have ever had! Magdalena listened to what my issues were and was totally focused on them. She also provided information on to help me take care of myself so as not to create similar problems in the future. All other aspects of the spa were excellent.
This is my 6th visit to Down to Earth Thai massage in La Jolla. Every time I leave there with thoughts of Wow! that was an incredible experience! I cant wait to go back!! . I think it took me 6 visits to finally find the words to express what an amazing experience it is.To find somebody that cares so much about helping people with injuries and has the knowledge and experience to do something about it is very rare. Thats what makes it truly special to visit here.I consider myself a competitive athlete running over 150 Spartan races over the last nine years. Finding somebody that knows how to work on a athletes body is hard to find! Beyond that, the place is beautiful the Ambience is amazing! Sara and the girls are truly gifts to this business 💪. Their ability the judge the needs of the client is first rate!.I thoroughly recommend giving them a call and making an appointment! ( and you do need to make a appointment theyre very busy for obvious reasons).Tell Them Jason sent you in! Lol
I was a massage therapist for 20 years so my expectations are high. I saw Magdalena for a 90 minute Thai massage and I was transformed from head to heart. My body hasn’t felt this good for a long time. The space and vibe are really nice and Magdalena was all business. Worth every cent (prices are super reasonable) and I highly recommend. Don’t delay. You deserve it.
The first time I went to Down to Earth, I didnt know what to expect since this place was newly opened. However, it turned out that Im very happy that I gave it a chance and I would like to say that I will be back again.This is such a relaxing place to get massage. They keep the place organized & cleaned. The therapist was professional and excellent in techniques. She helped me relieve my stress and back pain. The owner was very sweet and super friendly. Im very satisfied with their services. This place has become my go to massage every time we back in town.
Just tried Down to Earth Thai for the first time - and it was incredible. There were two of us who booked 90 minute Thai Swedish massages as walks in mid-morning on a Friday. The staff was incredibly friendly, the space was very tranquil and very clean. There are 3 solo massage rooms and 1 couples room. The massage quality was excellent - the perfect mix of relaxing Swedish and stretchy/back cracking Thai. 10/10 recommend.
WOW. I am in town for a day of work and decided to get a massage. I booked a 90-minute combination massage with Maily. I cant say enough about her - she was kind, strong, and so very good! If I come back out to the west coast, I know what the very first thing I do is! I very highly recommend Maily!
DowntoEarth Thaimassage, owned by Sara, is an absolute gem that deserves a glowing five-star review. Saras expertise and care create an unparalleled experience. The tranquil ambiance and Saras personalized approach make every session a rejuvenating escape. I highly recommend DowntoEarth Thaimassage for anyone seeking top-tier relaxation and wellness.
Fabulous experience today with Maily! She knows the human body well and focused in on problem areas. Walked out feeling like a new person. Will definitely return soon.
My family and I had great 90 minute massages here. We had to change the times and they were communicative and flexible. The space is very nice and the massages were AMAZING! Highly recommend.
Amazing experience! Maily is a true professional. I feel completely rejuvenated after the session. Highly recommend to everyone!
I had a great experience here. Sarah was very welcoming and she sent me up at the table knowing exactly what was wrong with me she then explained it to Irene and my experience with Irene was simply out of this world. She took her time with me and we were in tune together for about one hour and a half where she went beyond the scheduled time because she knew I needed a little bit more and I had never been in such harmony with a massage therapist ever in my life where they understood my body even more than I did to help me heal and resolve my injuries.
Oh my God. My first Thai massage. What an incredible experience. My muscles are so tight and Apple was a miracle worker. She walked on me, stretched me, and really focused on the problem areas. I feel amazing. Ive had many massages and this was a different experience in the best way.Very clean and professional. Everyone is very pleasant. I 100% recommend!
I came out for parents weekend to spend time with my daughter and we both wanted massages. After searching for one we both agreed we wanted to give Down to Earth a try and we both are glad we did! Magdalena and Apple we amazing! We walked out feeling great and I’m on day 2 of no heating pad Magdalena! ( I have auto immune issues that cause wide spread pain and have used a heating pad so much it caused toasted skin burns) I look forward for my next trip out to come back and get worked on again and again!
This place is amazing! I have never had a deep tissue massage this good. Im a bodybuilder and always tight. They literally use their whole body and weight to get into the muscles. I felt amazing after the 90 minute massage. Go with this company. You will be pleased.
Maily is great. She seemed educated and experienced in Thai massage, was intuitive with the body, and applied good pressure. One of the best Thai massages I’ve had. Place is very professional, cute, and clean. Will definitely be back 🙏
I came in for a massage a few weeks ago and asked for a Deep Tissue massage, letting the masseuse know I have pretty bad back pain, to which she said of course she could help with that. When I was ready for my massage, the masseuse came in and reiterated that I asked for a Deep Tissue massage and I said “yes, please focus on the knots in my back, neck, and shoulders as I am in a lot of pain”. After 30 minutes of just being rubbed down with oil, I asked the masseuse if she would be able to work on the knots in my back as I had asked for in the beginning and she said yes.By the end of my massage, she hadn’t worked on any of my knots (hadnt so much as used her thumbs or applied pressure) and just rubbed me down with oil for 60 minutes, which even that was highly unenjoyable. The movements were very rushed, she kept aggressively scratching my scalp, and she just did the same moves over and over to the point where I memorized the pattern she was following. At the end of my massage when she asked how it was, I told her I didn’t enjoy it and that she didn’t do what I asked her to, and my back was still in a lot of pain. She then had me sit facing away from her, shoved her foot in my back, and pulled my arms, till I was in pain.When I went to pay she rang me up for a CBD massage, which was more expensive, and also not what I asked for. It couldve been a misunderstanding on her part, but given she acknowledged that I said Deep Tissue twice and I asked her to work on my knots at least twice, that seems odd.The whole experience was unenjoyable, I left extremely upset, and ending up having even more back pain than when I arrived. It was so bad that I had to book another massage the next day to take care of the pain. I have since emailed them multiple times and no one will respond to me (yet they keep sending me promo emails...). Dont waste your money here, go to Mellow Massage where they actually took care of me and gave me a quality treatment.
HIGHLY recommend! First time experiencing aThai massage at this place and have already gone back multiple times. The therapists are all very strong and experienced, clean sheets, facility and fair prices. Sara is a sweetheart and very professional as are Ava and Magdalena. I always walk out of there feeling better.
Just leaving now after a wonderful massage! Never had one before and didn’t know what to expect but was guided through and all sensitivities were adjusted for. Leaving now feeling really relaxed and refreshed. Would definitely recommend!
My very first professional massage that I have ever received. Alfredo did an absolutely wonderful job with the combination of massages that I selected. He made me feel comfortable. I felt very relaxed after the massage session. I definitely need more occasions in order to get the most benefit. Cant wait to visit Down to earth again!
We all loved our massage. Sara was amazing and stretched me out so well I didn’t know I needed that. Highly recommend!
This massage was incredible and different than any other massage I have experienced. Sarah is very thorough and her pressure and stretches intermittently is what I needed. Instead of feeling exhausted as I usually do after a deep tissue massage I felt relaxed with greater mobility and at the same time energized. I would totally recommend Sarah and her staff.
This was a wonderful experience. So relaxing we escaped into our own bliss. My husband and daughter each enjoyed a 90 minute massage. It was super relaxing, a bit bendy, a tad stretchy, tranquil and strong Thai massage. Really relaxed our travel weary bodies. Highly recommend. Clean, professional, wonderful. Cant wait to return.
Sara gave me the absolute best massage of my life- and I have had many great massages! My mom had a massage from Marga and said it was also amazing! These women are tiny but STRONG! Everything was amazingly clean and their covid screening was thorough. I know I will be seeing Sara again soon! We walked out of there feeling like jell-o. Thank you ladies!!
Alfredo was amazing!He has an incredible healing touch.I told him I’ve been dealing with upper back and neck discomfort and he customized the whole massage to my needs.Incredible experience!I will be back soon 😁
I had the most amazing experience at Down to Earth! The shop is very clean and welcoming. The massage was the best Ive ever had. They made sure to ask what pressure I preferred and what areas I wanted to focus on. Magda made me feel extremely comfortable. I will only be coming here for my massages from now on. Could not recommend it more!!
Writing this review for my husband , he had a Thai massage today that he said was the best massage he’s ever had and although slightly uncomfortable at times he felt incredible muscle relief afterwards. He had deep tissue and struggles with back pain, muscle tension and stiff muscles. He would highly recommend for anyone seeking relief when feeling uncomfortable due to tension and pain in their bodies .
I saw Magda and it was the absolute best massage Ive ever had. She genuinely took her time and focused on identifying problem areas. I will absolutely be back because of this experience, thanks so much!
Best Thai Massage I have had since living in Thailand. Aeya was very communicative and did an incredible job targeting my trouble spots. I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend!
Ive been going to this place regularly for several months. I had multiple sessions with Sara, Magda, and Molly. They are awesome! The place is always clean and smells good. The massages help my weak areas much better.
I went to Down to Earth Thai Massage for the first time tonight and it was an excellent experience. The environment was very clean, relaxing, and professional and the therapist was very skilled and friendly. I would highly recommend anyone interested in a traditional Thai massage to give Down to Earth a try because I will definitely be returning soon.Amanda and Sara are great!
My first Thai massage and it was wonderful! All of the knots in my back are gone and it was very relaxing. Would come back here again.
Magda did a wonderful job! She recommended doing a combination massage which had the perfect mix of pressure, stretching, and relaxing. I was worried I may be sore but for the whole rest of the week my body felt great and no soreness! 10/10 recommend!
I have experienced massages worldwide in my past 40 plus years and this place is by far the greatest and best place to get a massage. My massuese, Amanda, has a technique that few possess. The pressure and method she used relieved my tension and made my whole body feel very blissful and relaxed. When I came here I had back, joint, and stressful tightness along my tendons and muscles. I am grateful that I got Amanda because she gave me a Thai and Swedish style massage that I wish would never end. Just writing this review makes me want to book an appointment. Thank you Amanda, I will see you soon.
First time at this place and I was amazed by the quality of the massage. Sara was able to relieve stiffness and tension in my back and shoulders that has not been achieved before. Definitely going back. Also the staff was very welcoming and friendly.
Best massages we have had (and I get massages every 2 weeks in NYC!). Garn gave my massage - she was excellent and I would definitely get same again. Irin gave my dad a massage …and he said the exact same!
I own a high end spa on the East Coast and was visiting San Diego on business. I had a headache for 3 days and was having neck and back pain. After visiting this Spa and experiencing their integrated modalities for 2 hours...I feel great! I will definitely be back when visiting the West Coast. I highly recommend!
Got a Thai/Swedish combo massage last week that I thoroughly enjoyed! I mentioned to my masseuse, David, that I had a pulled muscle in my neck. So not only did he give an overall great massage, but spent extra time working on my trouble spot. Loved that he customized my massage to what I wanted and needed!
Ava is the best!!!! She made my body revived! I have the best massage from her and highly recommended. Great massage and service!!!
Whenever my body is beat up or hurting i try and book with Sara. Ive had other massages from other places but it just doesnt compare. Its so rare to find someone who knows how to fix you when youre broken lol. Because of how great and efficient they are Ill never stop coming here to put it simply.
Sara made me feel like a new woman. Her positive energy and healing touch rejuvenated me! I highly recommend Down to Earth!
Got a 90 mins superb massage by Sara. My appoinment was at the end of the day and I did not notice any sign of her being tired - steady medium pressure throughout. Place is clean, room was cozy, nice light music, very relaxing. Will visit again.
MagdaFirst I noticed down to earth massage has five stars across-the-board which is definitely correct!!!Ive had massages with several people at this storeThe facility is immaculate clean spotless the towels smell fantastic everything is perfectRecently Ive had massage with Magda, I had a sore back and shoulder she is very good very therapeutic I typically dont like stretching but she stretched me perfectlyHighly recommend Magda and all of the staffDefinitely the best massage in La Jolla hands-down!!!Philip
Traditional and Elegant.Beautiful space. Excellent, world class massage given by Jane, a Thai native who has brought the ancient Wisdom of Care and Intuitive Healing to San Diego. A blessing and a gem in the Jewel La Jolla.I am so thankful. My body feels more like water and less like tree which is significant improvement after only one session.Ka koon krub 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💆🏽♀️
Love love love this place! Just got a couple massage and it was amazing. the room is so calm and zen. they use warm towels on your back and feet at times. really loosened up my neck and back. also can’t beat these prices! 10/10 recommend!
Irin is amazing! My first massage in years and I will be going again regularly. Irin has a unique Thai style that combines deep tissue massage and full body stretches. Its true that this is like passive yoga! I felt so good afterwards and the effects lasted even for the next several days. Irin is gentle, courteous, cheerful, and just wonderful. After the massage, there was hot tea available! Very thoughtful. I look forward to seeing Irin again. Weekdays are the best time to go for easy parking.
I highly recommend this place for Thai Swedish combination massage. Having been an athlete for most of my life, I have significant issues with arthritis and range of motion. The therapists do a superb job of relieving aches and pains, increasing my joint mobility, and eliminating tensions and toxins in my muscles. I leave my appointments feeling great!
Garn was amazing, I guess she is the best in San Diego, I’ve been going to massage regularly and this was speechless. She had very good techniques and knew how to dealt with pain.
Had a massage with Ava A today and it was wonderful! She really Listened to what I needed and it was perfect. Thank you :)
I was visiting from LA & was looking for a good massage place. Found this place & heard good reviews on Magda. I was not disappointed. Felt amazing after our session, any pain I had was gone.Highly recommend her.
My chiropractor recommended a deep tissue massage to help with my upper back pain so I came here for a couples massage with my wife. Irene found all the knots in my back that had been building up for years and worked them out. My back is definitely feeling a lot better now. Ill be coming back so she can get the rest of the knots.
The best massage I had in a long time. Will definitely go back when I am back in La Jolla and will highly recommend “Down to Earth Thai Massage” to my friends. Very clean and professional.
I got a massage from David and it was amazing! He listened to what my needs were and made me feel very comfortable. Super nice guy, great massage, lovely place. I highly recommend!
Let me start by saying if you walk into a place and you shoulder is locked up to the point where you mobility is limited. Your sleep has been deprived and you wake up always uncomfortable. Your Chest is like a cable your lat is locked up and its not getting any better. And when you leave 2 hours later and you literally feel like a new man. What else could I really say except go there they are absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving me back a feeling of health.
This is the cleanest establishment Ive ever seen the Decour is exceptional the lighting is perfect!Sara is the manager she does an excellent job with massage and I have heard all of her associates are equally goodHigh-quality professional service A+Ive went several times now and I will continue referring everyone!Philip
As a mixed martial artist for the last 11 years, Ive been injured countless of times and had multiple surgeries. Thanks to Magda, shes been able to help me manage my knee, shoulders and lower back pain so well that doing my passion for competing in MMA is possible because of her technique and application to my ailments. Thank you so much to Magda and the wonderful profesional staff here at Down to Earth 🙏🏾
I went to Down To Earth Thai Massage today and it was .......amazing!!! Sarah was sweet, charming, and most importantly a great massage therapist. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be back!!!
Wife went while on vacation and says best massage she’s had. Ana was wonderful!
I signed up for the Swedish/Thai massage combo. Magda M was professional and so talented! I feel so much better! So relaxed! I’ve already told my relatives to go here! I’ll be back for sure!
This place is the real deal. I have been getting massages regularly for many years, I know a great place. The place is spotless. Clean sheets, clean sterile hot towels and great therapists. 100% one of the best massage places I have been too!
Absolutely fantastic! Sara was an amazing masseuse, I have to say this was one of if not the best massages I have ever had. Perfect combination of sports massage and relaxation.
This was the best massage experience EVER!! EVA is well trained and went WAY above and beyond to provide an AMAZING experience!!!
Quite deserving of the high ratings. A very good massage at a reasonable price. They know how to get to all those tough spots.
Absolutely amazing massage! Deep tissue and lots of stretching. She definitely loosened me up
Scheduled a much needed last minute massage and it was beyond relaxing and released some serious tension and stress. Thanks so much Maily!
I just moved to La Jolla and went to see Sara for a massage and can honestly say it was the best massage I have ever had! Will come back!
Best massage ever! Ive never had a Thai massage before. This was combo Swedish and Thai and it was perfect. Lots of stretching as well as the other
Magda is terrific, the Thai massage really loosens up tight muscles. The deep tissue pressure, lets just say she has magical hands.
Ava is absolutely a wonderful go-to for a calming massage. Stretching & lengthening; really 💯!
We are La Jolla locals, this is our favorite place to get messages. Ava A was wonderful, best massage ever!
I was given the best massage ever by Dorian King. The massage was perfect, she gave me something I did not know I needed because right after I felt brand new.
Been to 10 other Asian pacific countries and got massages in a few of them, definitely an authentic place to go to in the states. Great deep tissue.
Best massage ever!!! You guys wouldn’t regret it. Mention Ellie and Sara 🤟
It was an excellent massage. They did deep tissue work and I felt much better after going. I appreciated the stretches they did too.
I’ve been here many times and came out more relaxed. Definitely recommend Apple and Ellie
Absolutely amazing! Loved Amanda. Very clean, asked to focus on my shoulders and she did. 100% recommend!
Recovering from a back inquiry, Irin was exactly the right therapeutic message I needed. Exceptional service and professional spa.
I keep coming back for massages with Apple. Deep tissue massage gets out all the knots.
My wife and I were visiting LaJolla from Minneapolis and we both decided to get massages and were very pleased with the entire experience. -Thank you
