Longevity Massage

Oh, my. What an amazing exprience… and I mean that in the truest sense of the word. From the moment I walked into her adorable space, Christina exuded a sense of calm and peace which stayed with me far beyond the hour I spent there. Yes, she is an excellent practitioner, but Christina’s real gift is as a healer. I was truly blessed by the time I spent with her.
In addition to the fabulous massage Christina gave me, I fell in love with (and purchased!) some of the oils she makes. They are absolutely lovely, and I know that I will use them any time I want to be transported back to that state of total relaxation.
Do yourself a favor. Visit Longevity Massage the next time you’re in Manzanita. You won’t regret it.

I received an hour massage from Jamie– a well executed Swedish massage a notch or two above your typical hotel or day spa.

Sterling massage for needed tissues …
Just completed a vacation with lots of new activity, and developed several sore muscles & minor injuries. Only a personalized massage could help.
With Jamie’s experienced hands, not only did deep tissues cry out with pain-​joy, they realigned, felt great. Jamie has unique ability to carefully time and adapt movements, sense what is needed, when. I walked out a new person. (Intellectually I know one treatment isn’t enough, but a day later it feels like it might be.)
Highly recommended.

Excellent massage therapist. I could tell as soon as Jamie started on my neck that she knew what she was doing. Very relaxing yet felt detoxifying as well. I get regular massages here at home and have had dozens and dozens of therapists work on me over the decades. Jamie knew what she was doing. I highly recommend.

Christina and Jamie are excellent massage therapists. The rates are very reasonable in light of the high quality of the message. I have been going to Longevity for several years now and always look forward to making it part of the trip from Portland to Manzanita.

I visited Manzanita this weekend with girlfriends for a get away and decided to treat myself to a massage at Longevity. As a massage therapist myself, I’m very discerning when it comes to bodywork and Jamie fulfilled my expectations. She has a wonderfully present touch, kind energy and great skill. Highly recommended!

If you want a really relaxing professional massage, go see Jamie or Christina at Longevity Manzanita. This place is peaceful and quiet, and I have had some of my best massages ever here. You can purchase aromatherapy for your massage and/​or to take home. It is heaven!

Had a great massage on our last day of vacation on Manzanita. Made a last minute appointment and staff was sweet and attentive. I don’t recall the name of the woman who did my massage, but it was one of the better massages I’ve had. Definitely go for the $ 5 aromatherapy add-​on!

Well, it was interesting mixed with good intent mixed with «huh?». I came on a solo retreat to Manzanita to deal with a personal tragedy, and loved the description of the energy vinyasa as one way of dealing with my grief. The teacher was very nice and the class was small, but I couldn’t sense any kind of flow to the class or the poses, and her voice was very loud for a room no bigger than my living room — a soft yoga voice goes a long way. I did like the stretches along the wall, but found that although she provided blocks, the poses did not provide accommodations to my lower back issues that I’d expressed concern about at the start of class, so I had to sit many of them out. Then her cell phone went off, with the laughing and chit chat with the other students beginning and throwing everything off. Everyone has their own preferences, and for me it’s a quieter, more dimly lit environment with more of a flowing or meditative style (not a mish mash of both) that accommodates physical limitations. I really wanted to like this but it just wasn’t for me. And for a $ 15 drop-​in fee which is more than most local places I go to in Portland, that was a bummer.

I’m still pinching myself, not quite believing what an incredible yoga class I just had, with Charlene Gernert. What a master of her art. She just taught me advanced techniques that I’ve never encountered in decades of practicing all over California. Tranquil, funny, attuned to her students… I can’t say enough good things. Don’t miss an opportunity to have a great class in this beautiful space on the Oregon Coast. What a treasured experience on my visit to Manzanita.

Awesome! We fell in LOVE with Longevity and I was so excited to be the first to write a review of such an outstanding place. We arrived in Manzanita and were eager to explore the local shops. We drove for hours previous stopping along several coastal towns seaching for one of a kind trinkets and stocking stuffers for Xmas. We were a bit disappointed of what we found until we got to Longevity.
It was small, intimate and offered great organic, health and spiritually conscious gifts. Locally made soy candles, lotions and balms, sweet cards, henna kits and yoga gear. I especially adored their hibsicus flowers and wishing papers.
They have a yoga stuido and a spa and offer great rates. We were passing though for the night and am disappointed I didn’t have a chance to get a massage but I’m sure I’ll be back in Manzanita and will definitely go the first chance I get! The shopkeeper was excellent! Warm, accomodating-​letting us sample all their goodies and making suggestions and made our experience amazing!

This is an amazing place to find your calm, reclaim, some energy, and to shop. The staff is friendly and helpful too. We kept coming back to discover more. Next time I’m there, I’ll take a yoga class and schedule a massage. One top of it all, they are located in lovely Manzanita close to the beach.

I have been going to Longevity for massages ever since it opened and I always leave totally satisfied. The atmosphere in the actual massage room is conducive to total relaxation. Jamie is the perfect massage therapist: strong hands, intuitive, quiet, yet responsive.
I am so happy with the massages here that for my birthday and other special occasions my family gives me gift certificates for massage packages.
There is a wonderful retail shop that has fabulous earrings and unusual socks. I often find «the perfect gift» here.
