Awaken Massage & Spa

My hubby and I went on a last minute getaway to Napa Wine country. We stayed in Napa over this past weekend and I wanted to treat us to a couple massage without breaking the bank. I found this establishment through Unilocal and I am so glad we treated ourselves here. Annie (Asian older lady) was very polite and did an amazing job on my hubby. He said, «Annie was incredibly strong for a petite women. She did an amazing job and I felt so relaxed and renewed!» He ended up snoring half way through! LOL! I had a Caucasian older lady (sorry forgot her name) who worked on me. She asked what type of worked I did and where I had any issues. She definitely focused on my back and shoulders where I tend to have some pain due to my profession. She explained where she felt I was tensed with knots and worked them out. I felt so relaxed and renewed just as my partner. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip!

I’ve been a customer at Awaken Massage since 2009, coming twice a month. Friends have asked isn’t it expensive to get a massage so often, and I say not if it works and it does! I have a high stress job and Jun always relaxes and keeps my body in tune. If you don’t get regular massage I highly recommend it. Having a masseuse like Jun that cares and knows you makes all the difference. Her new location is also beautiful!

My wife and I came for a couples massage and this was best priced one in the area! Cute little house and the staff was friendly. The pics of the old shingled house are of the old location. Jun and Annie are the best! They flow with with the aches and pains of your body and make em go away! It’s like they have the «Force» and tapped into our Qi! It was the best massage I ever had and I love shiatsu. My wife usually doesn’t like shiatsu, but they did a combo of Tui-​Na and Acupressure and she LOVED it! The beauty of it all is it’s in downtown Napa so we can go explore downtown for lunch and have the option to head up to Calistoga. We’re coming back soon… SO DON’T BOOK when we do!

Great massage by Ed! Good pressure and body work, will definitely go back. Nice and quite, friendly and clean. Reasonably and respectfully priced, especially for Napa. Great place for locals!

Jun at Awaken Massage was incredible! She was very sweet and the room was very comfortable. She worked on my back with such diligence that her somatic wisdom seeped through her fingers and arms to heal my body. I would definitely recommend this establishment for deep tissue and targeted massage.

Great couples massage. So much pressure. Very deep massage. Even my husband was breathing heavy as his worker pushed into those knots. These ladies have a lot of strength.

Very glad to discover Awaken in Napa. I was looking for a last minute massage appointment to treat myself for Mother’s Day. The lady I spoke to, Jun, was very sweet and welcoming. She gave me suggestions and recommended Tui-​Na massage, deep tissue healing Chinese massage. When I got there, I was greeted by Annie, my masseuse. The place is located upstairs. Very simple ambiance and tranquil. I love how a warm towel is placed on my back, arms, legs after the massage. I felt like a clean slate! The price is very reasonable for 90 mins! If you are looking for a simple spa to relax and get a worth it massage, check this place out! :-)

Jun always does an amazing job. From her couples massages to her sports massage, you walk out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The atmosphere is calming and she really listens to what you need worked on. I highly recommend Awaken massage! I always leave feeling like I just had an amazingly restful sleep and feel super relaxed!

We had a 90-​minute couples massage today and it was all good. Reasonable price, clean and central.

Best massage ever– so relaxing. Nothing fancy here… you just feel your body melt. Very soothing atmosphere. Jun and Amy (hope I got her name right) were very accommodating. We got a 90 minute massage each— wish we had longer. I was fighting myself not to doze off so I can enjoy the massage all the way. This is our go to massage whenever we’re in Napa.

Spent a lot of money at a high end spa in Calistoga for a deep tissue massage. Was so disappointed. Wasnt a massage so much as someone just rubbing oil on my body. Found this place on line and went for a half hour deep tissue to see if she could get the knot out of my back. Annie was so amazing. Booked an hour and a half massage for the next day. She really knows what she’s doing and gets in there with her elbow for those super tight spots. Feel like a new woman. Great prices too.

My husband and I had a 90 minute couples massage here. We were worried because we never had a massage from anywhere other than a resort, but we didn’t want to pay the resort level prices. We both agree that the massages we got were the best massages ever and pricing was extremely reasonable. We will go back again on our next visit for sure. The facility is located in and old house and has wonderful ambiance and character. The rooms are clean and the ladies who did our massages were extremely friendly and professional. Thank you for our amazing experience!

Now this is what I call a deep tissue get the kinks out type of massage. I gravitate towards the more relaxing and less pressure type of massages, but I know my body needed some work this time. Jun did an excellent job and I was surprised because she is a small person. I did not expect the type of pressure she was able to provide. She also used some great tui na techniques of stretching and massaging with her arms and elbows.
My husband also had a massage from here and loved it! He described a similar experience with a different therapist.
The building and set up is cozy. The rooms are in an old victorian which is typical of lots of businesses here in Napa. It was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced.

Annie is amazing. Unpretentious, comfortable, superbly relaxing! Make an appointment now!

June and her co-​worker were fantastic! My wife and I had a couple’s massage with deep tissue and acupressure — one of our best massages ever. Nice environment upstairs in an old Victorian house. Very relaxing, nice people and nice music for a great price. Highly recommend them.

One of the best massages I’ve ever had. It was so relaxing and my body feels great. I love the ambience – calm, peaceful and Jun seemed genuinely interested in my problem areas and how I felt. It was wonderful. Wish they were closer to my home – I would go all the time. I was staying in Napa for the night and we just called and got in on a Sat. afternoon. All the other places we called wanted a credit card to hold our place with a 48 hour cancellation, but not Awaken. I highly recommend them.

Jun was so lovely and an amazing healer. She is strong, compassionate and the massage was EXACTLY what I needed. I hadn’t had one in ages and got up that morning in so much pain that I had to go. I found her on Unilocal and got in that day and it was just what the doctor ordered. She dug into all the right places and gave me a break at just the right moments… it was an hour and a half excavation and so well executed. I’m a happy sore now and feeling so much more relaxed. I highly recommend her.

I was able to get an appointment today right away. It is a cute and clean little place. There was no wait. My Tui-​Na Deep Tissue Massage was Amazing! Good price for Napa at only $ 70 for an hour! Jun was my Massage Therapist and receptions. She was very sweet, professional, attentive, and all around GREAT! I will defiantly be back to see her again!

My husband and I had the couple’s massage. I’m sad to see that there was mixed reviews. We both had a great relaxed, quiet, and pampering time. I have to say their prices were really good compared to others in the area. I actually fell a sleep and woken up after the one hour. I would defiantly go back.

I have to rate this spa a 2 star due to the customer service.
If I were Judging the massage itself;
2 star: The ambiance of the massage.
4 star: The fact that the masseuse hit some trigger spots and knew his stuff!
I also have to say after doing my homework it is one of the more affordable massages in the area and on this occasion I was grateful for the cost.
Upon arrival I entered in the back door. It was 2:15 and my massage was scheduled for 2:30.
It smelled a bit musty. I proceeded to walk up the stairs to Awaken. There were signs to guide me so it was easy enough! When reaching the top of the stairs I was greeted right away by an asain woman, named Annie. (I think) She did not greet me in a friendly manner at all though… She seamed irrupted and said to me «you are very early!». Well, WOW! I was really proud of myself for actually being on time for once! I was going to sit in the small but cozy waiting area however, I felt a bit uncomfortable. I decided to head outside and wait. It was a double massage, I brought my sister with me. I figured I would wait for her arrival.
When my sister arrived we headed back upstairs, checked in, and sat down. We were there on time however the second masseuse seamed to be running late. Anyway he came in started franticly looking for his «lotion». I thought he was a client who left something at the parlor. When he found the lotion he said «I use lotion, LOTION IS BEST.» I thought it was interesting I have not had a «lotion» massage. I honestly at the end thought it was a bit itchy. I am wondering if the lotion was more something he preferred. I personally would have liked the option of oil.
Anyway, she sent us in the room to change, after a minute they came in… They defiantly started late.
The massage room was clean however a bit on the bright side. There was a fan blowing up above. I feel it was because the masseuse needed it. At times it was a bit chilly. I didn’t mind it when he used tiger balm at that time it was refreshing. It is a bit hard to relax though with cold air blowing on you… just thinking about it now.
As far as the actual massage the masseuse dug deep which is exactly what I needed, he hit all of my sore spots. Worked several knots out especially around my sciatica and my shoulder. He knew his stuff and I would go again!

I’m also sad to see the mixed review for this location but I had a really great time. My boyfriend and I went for a couples message for his birthday and I read the previous reviews of how the reservations were lost or something? Well now let’s be smart… I made the reservation then called the day of in the morning to make sure June had it and everything was fine!
The location is the second floor of a converted house and the actual message was amazing! Awesome atmosphere all around.
Cons: they had a loud clicking clock in the room. Now by all means they should have a clock in order to keep track of time but the fact that it was ticking the entire time got on my nerves…
Honestly this places rates can’t be beat so definitely try them!

June did an outstanding deep tissue massage on me. She may be petite, but she has a lot of strength and got all the knots out of my muscles. Excellent!

You get what you pay for.
Went to Napa for a quick getaway and considering I was in Napa, $ 60 for an hour massage sounded great! Arrived at a unique place with the entrance in the back. The asian lady was very nice when I arrived and she made it seem like she was going to give me the best massage of my life… Wrong. I asked for deep tissue and I was waiting for it to get harder but it never did. And she didn’t hit ANY of my problem points. She did ask me what my problem areas were in the beginning and all she did was stay in those spots for a bit but didn’t focus on it. She is extremely nice but to sum it up, I’d spend more to go elsewhere.
I know someone who had a massage from a tall, white male and she felt he didn’t know what he was doing either.

This was my first massage, and I booked it with my girlfriend. We both got the Tui-​Na treatment and it was fantastic. The only thing I wish is that the hour would have moved more slowly! It is also hard to beat the price.
Be sure to hydrate before getting an aggressive treatment – I was light-​headed for a good 15 minutes after the massage, but my back and neck have never felt so good.

After a morning of horseback riding, I ended up in Napa and thought at the age of 22 it was time for my first massage. The ambiance of this place is great, my only complaint is that the room I was in faced the street. There is a lot of passing cars that you can hear but once her hands get on you… it all just fades away.
I opted for an hour massage and was in complete bliss the entire time. She was very gentle but still worked out some of 22 years I was holding on this precious back. At $ 60 for the hour she went from head to toe as I moaned in pure pleasure.
After the massage she sat with me and gave me a few glasses of water until I regained consciousness and walked back into the real world. Thank you Awaken for bursting my massage cherry. Thank you.

After a hectic day of visiting friends and my favorite wineries in the Napa Valley, my sciatic nerve starts acting up and bloody screamed for a massage. It was nearly dark and no way in hell I am going to get into one of the «spa» without a reservation. A mate of mine tells me to check this place out, it is new and I might get a last minute reservation. Yep… I did.
«Awaken» is located on the second floor of a circa 1950ish house. It is not one of those fancy spa that cost an arm and a leg that one sees in the Napa Valley. If I remembered correctly, there are about three rooms there. I would call this place A-​Spa-​Without-​The-​Fluff-​Stuff-​BUT-​With-​Zen-​Like-​Atmosphere. At this moment I wasn’t into the «spa treatment». I just want to kill those painful knots.
Jun was my therapist. At first I thought how could this petite person do a Deep Tissue Massage and hope that she is not a «Newbie»? Mind you, when sciatica kicks in, I need STRONG deep massage –not the light or medium style of Swedish nor a Newbie. My first impression of Jun was off target. Jun gives me what I exactly needed. To my surprise, I was dozing away twice. In 20 years of getting massage that never happen to me with Deep Tissue style (Swedish or Aromatherapy that’s another story). It could be the serenity of the room, the flickering candles, the heated table, and or the rhythm of the massage. Regardless, I did catch some zzzzzz –hopefully I wasn’t snoring or drooling (YUCK). Afterward, all those freaking knots disappeared. I felt like I was taking a walk in the clouds (hey.that sounded like a movie that the wifey and I saw once).
When I am in the area I will definitely be coming back here again and I will bring the boss lady too (they have a room for couple –cool). Too bad there is nothing like it in Fremont aka Freaktown.
