Health Land Body Spa

Booked a super last minute appointment here because my go to spot was not available and I needed a massage badly.. Jayda exceeded my expectations. Amazing amazing massage! I will definitely be coming back again, they’re even better than where I usually go. The only thing that is a bummer is they are cash only not even Venmo or Zelle but they do have a very cheap fee ATM on site.

Almost don't want to recommend Cece and risk her being even busier, but this hidden gem of a massage spot is too good to remain hidden. Same day appointments are often available. However do note that it's cash only. While they do offer 60 minutes, 90 minutes is the sweet spot. For the location and services, it's a steal at $99 for 90 mins, with $33 recommended tip. This is a legit Thai spa, with staff who were trained in CMT in Thailand. The place is clean and the music is not intrusive. Lighting is dim and you can truly relax and feel like a new person after being rolfed. Despite a plethora of available modalities, the sweet spot is a Swedish-Thai combo. You get the best of both worlds, with the Thai introducing warming oils to the mix. Note: No shower facilities available, so if you are finicky, skip the oil. Although it's recommended. As soon as you enter, you fill in a questionnaire for any focus areas and any other instructions for your masseuse. Within 2 minutes you are let into your private massage and the masseuse works her magic. There's no clock watching and you get the entire time you booked. As the massage progresses and the modalities switch, you can feel the tension and knots disappear. It reminds me of Thailand level massages. There's limited conversation and you simply let your body relax and feel renewed. Tip: Medium firm is a sweet spot for massage intensity.

I've been coming to this place for almost a decade now and it's still as wonderful as the first time. This is a no frills, mom and pop shop but if you don't care about frills, this is is the place for you! They give solid massages for a great price, esp for the West side. I always get a deep tissue and they always manage to work through all my knots, and I've had some pretty knotty knots. I usually call for a same day and haven't had any issues getting an appt with my fav masseuse. This place is super professional - they always see you on time, check that you're good with the pressure, and check that all is good once you're paying. Cash or checks only btw and plenty of metered and residential street parking within a block.

Good massage! First time and this is a straight up no nonsense, no luxury foo foo kind of place. I had the deep tissue treatment and haven’t experienced anything like that before. Ok part of it is the Masseuse stood on me and used her feet at times...yes I was stepped on literally. I wondered what the metal bars on the ceiling were for! This was very powerful and effective technique, thank goodness she know just where to position herself. I will come back because it was real and the price is very reasonable for one hour which went by quickly.

Annie was absolutely amazing! She really focused on my most problematic areas. This was the best massage I have ever received. Will be coming back for sure. And the nicest thing is that it's affordable. Thank you!

This place is quaint, but absolutely fantastic. My husband and I got a couples massage by Annie, and Bonnie, and they were fantastic!!! I had Annie and did a medium pressure Swedish massage, and it was the best massage I’ve ever had. She worked every knot out I didn’t even know I had. My husband had Bonnie, and he had the deep tissue massage and he is extremely happy! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!

LOVED the combination massage with Sue. Never had Thai style before and wanted to try it with Swedish. Reasonably priced and recommended tip signs say $20+ which is fair. Feeling refreshed! Highly recommend, especially for those most interested in the massage itself and less about the decor (Cash/check only FYI). I'll definitely be back!

Had a sore back after doing a lot of yardwork and decided to give this place a try. I had never had a massage before, but the staff was friendly and explained how it would work and what to do. Sue was a fantastic masseuse, and the massage helped loosen up my back and left me feeling a lot better afterwards!

Annie is amazing and my go-to girl whenever I'm in desperate need for an excellent deep tissue massage. I love it when she steps all over me and squeezes all the tension out of my body. She's so sweet & kind and very intuitive. She listens and hears what your body needs. Can't recommend her more highly. Price is very fair for the quality of work provided. The spa is lovely, no-frills comfortable & clean. The woman who is at the front desk always so sweet. :)

I've been here twice and have greatly enjoyed both experiences. I got a 90 mins Thai/swedish combo massage both times and it was amazing. I feel so much looser and open. The vibe is pretty straightforward and they're very punctual with getting started. It's not the kind of place I'd go if I want spa ambiance, but it's definitely the kind of place I go for a good massage. The price point is also unbeatable! 10/10 recommend

Terrible massage and cash only. Paid for deep tissue and she dug her elbows into me the entire time. I asked her to use her hands more but even laying on my back was uncomfortable . She had my knee hanging off the bed in a really uncomfortable way and didn't use her hands at all. I said not to walk on me and she still just sat on the bed and put her entire body weight into me. Asked for neck and head focus which seems easy and they did none of that. Won't be back

If you're looking for a basic, no frills place to get a massage as part of your regular self care routine- this place is great! Good massage, good price. No complaints!

A great place to get a massage. I try to come here monthly, but sometimes I miss a month. I've probably been here 30 to 40 times. Every massage I have received here has been great. A visit here is the most peaceful, pleasurable part of my overall healthcare regimen. I have a couple of favorite employees, but everyone here is proficient and polite. The facility is clean and quiet. These people work hard (Have you ever given a one-hour massage? Super tedious!); remember to tip generously, at least 20 dollars for a one-hour massage.

I love this place. I have been coming here for almost 10 years and this is a great place for a Thai combo massage. They are very nice and accommodating and I have had positive experiences with all of the masseuses. As long as you know that it is not fancy spa but it is clean and reasonable for a massage you will be pleased.

Bummer of a review - I was looking forward to this massage as it was a birthday gift for me, but unfortunately it didn't work out as hoped. I was signed up for the one hour deep tissue massage. As far as the time, it seemed to fulfill the 60 minutes. But the rest was a miss. For about 10 minutes a petite woman used the bars the bed above to step on my back. She was all over the place, including my spine and my sacrum which I've never had done before because of how sensitive those areas are. There was also no purpose to her massage. When you check in, a sheet is provided to circle the areas of focus but it was either not looked at or it just didn't matter because she barely touched my feet or shoulders, as requested. What happened the remaining 50 minutes? Lots of friction. Not a deep tissue massage but more like frantic skin rubbing everywhere. No pressure at all, even with me reminding her about halfway through that I had purchased a deep tissue massage. When I left to pay, I informed the receptionist but she was unfazed and recommended I return to see a different person. I doubt I can so this but it's disappointing since I frequent the surrounding businesses on Ocean Park so frequently.

The best value! Very nice staff and overall the best massage I've had in a long time Make sure you bring cash..!

Bonnie is amazing. I've been coming here for years and recommend it to everyone. It's very clean, no frills, and the staff is welcoming and kind. No matter when I call, they are always able to make room for an appointment. And you cannot beat the price. Make sure you tip based on quality of service, not price, because they work so hard and deserve more than the price suggests. Cash only, but there's an atm inside and Wells Fargo across the street. I've seen different therapists here, but Bonnie is my favorite. I've been getting regular massages for about 20 years now and she's in my top 3 massage therapists of all time. She knows what she's doing. I saw her yesterday and feel SO much better today. But it's all based on personal preference. I've gotten Swedish, and Swedish/Thai combo. Bonnie specifically asks throughout the massage if the pressure is ok, which I appreciate. When you get there, you fill out a sheet that labels your problematic areas, pressure preference, etc. and Bonnie hung this on the wall so that she could refer back to it. Overall, I highly recommend Health Land Spa for those looking to get a really enjoyable, effective massage at a great price with great people!

Very affordable!! I had a 30 min prenatal massage with Bonnie and my mom had a Swedish massage with Malee. Both were really good and we highly recommend them! We will be coming back again!

Best massage, best prices, kindest, hard working people working here! Lots of availability and no frills! Tip these women high because they deserve it! I'm back every 2-3 weeks with Annie or Vickie. Cash only, ATM machine inside. Park down the street, it's a nice walk and area.

Been going to this place for years and am never disappointed. Best deal in town price wise, and the quality of the massage does not disappoint. I like pain, and my, can these ladies at this spot bring it. Pinky is my favorite masseuse here. Big rec overall!

This place sucks. Messed up the appointment. Did not get the massage requested. Asked them not to walk on my back and they did so anyway. The massage itself was terrible and sloppy. Go somewhere else.

I stopped going to Massage Envy because the 60 minute massages were more like 45-50 minutes and you were treated by the front desk like a subscription, not like a person (I had some fine masseuses though). Tried Massage Health Land based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Competitive pricing, I got a full 90 minute massage, and it was one of the best massages I've received. The masseuse was a pro. I requested deep tissue, and she went DEEP. She also knew intuitively where I was sensitive and where to spend extra time on. I feel like a new person. The setting is a little humble, but I don't mind; I want a great massage from a local business, not a Four Seasons all-day spa. Scheduling was a bit manual, but availability was fine. Yelp says they are closed Monday and Tuesday, but they were open when I went Monday evening. Will definitely return!

I have been coming to this place for years (literally in pain when I finally decide to get a deep tissue massage) and always amazed at how the service is consistently of so high quality and how every masseuse is so skilled and so professional. They always try to accommodate you, it's always immaculate, every one is kind, and it's the only place where I trust I will be in good healing hands any time I step in.

After I got my massage today, the first thing I did was think about the next time I should come back! It was AMAZING and the therapist were so chill and kind. I got to come back again! Huge shout out to this great store and team of therapists!

First time and this is a straight up no nonsense, no luxury foo foo kind of place. I had the deep tissue treatment and haven't experienced anything like that before. Ok part of it is the Masseuse stood on me and used her feet at times...yes I was stepped on literally. I wondered what the metal bars on the ceiling were for! This was very powerful and effective technique, thank goodness she know just where to position herself. I will come back because it was real and the price is very reasonable for one hour which went by quickly.

First and foremost this place seems to be clean . I asked for a combo Thai - Swedish massage. My Massuse was Natalie. I personally had a problem understanding her but I made it clear of where I needed the most attention. She proceeded to walk on my legs and back. She did it slowly and carefully which is good but for 15 to 20 minutes was too long for me. I finally asked if she can move on with the Swedish portion. She put too much thumb pressure and at times it was not evenly distributed. At one point her thumb dug into my arm and it really hurt. I mentioned this to her and she moved on. She may be good for some people it just happens not to be me . If I go back I'll ask for a different massage person. By the way the Yelp check in is only good till 1 pm so I don't believe you even need it because that is there regular early bird price for everyone.

This place is amazing! I decided last minute to call for a same-day appointment and luckily they had an open spot for Friday @ 12pm. But I would still recommend to book an appointment online 24 hours in advanced. The spa is located on a busy street, but I was able to find meter parking. As a new customer, I had to fill out an information sheet, which includes my personal request for the type of massage (Swedish, Thai, Mixture of both Swedish/Thai, or Deep Tissue), pressure level, and focus areas. Lucy was my masseuse and she was very kind and professional. I requested medium pressure, Swedish massage and Lucy checked for my comfortability throughout the session. It was the best massage I've ever had! She didn't rush through the movements and worked out all of my knots. She even suggested stepping on my back, which was horrifying at first because I've never had anyone step on my back before.. but it was surprisingly good! I felt so relaxed at one point that I was dozing off to sleep. Since I came before 1pm, I got the $40 early bird special. It was the best way to spend my Friday after a long week of work. I can't wait to come back!

Very nice place. Quiet, respectful folks. And the massage I had here was amazing. They take the time I'm areas that need focusing marked on the form before going in and the massage tables have warmers. Nice spot and reasonable price, will be back again

Thanks Sandy for the most relaxing and amazing massage! I definitely needed it and you did above and beyond.

Walked in last minute got a 90 minute massage, the place is super clean, super professional and it was an incredible massage I will definitely be back and worth every penny and extremely good value

Great massage, great price, I will be back!! They walked in my back and gave me a real deep tissues, which is what I wanted! This place is cash or check only. There is an ATM on site.

Pinky was awesome! She had great strength to do an amazing deep tissue massage in the right places as I indicated on my form the parking is very easy. Make sure you have cash. I recommend this massage place. In fact, I will be visiting soon on a regular basis, go Dr. Pinky.:)

Should have read the reviews before going. I signed up for 1 hour deep tissue massage and filled out the form informing areas of focus. The form means nothing. I even asked is this a deep tissue massage because the person was on top of me. It was exactly as the previous reviewer described, I was stepped on and my skin was rubbed. In the areas that were most tight a trained masseuse would have known to adjust, instead my masseuse increased the intensity of the skin rubbing in efforts to release it. I was uncomfortable the whole time. A sign of a poorly trained masseuse is when they think more pressure means ram your elbow into a person's body and proceed to drag it across their body. If they received poor feedback before they should have retrained their masseuses.

This was without question the worst massage I've ever had. Inconsistent massage. Didn't focus on different parts of my body, and spent a good hour doing the same moves on my upper back and neck. Spent about 10 minutes total on my legs. Never flipped me over in a 90 minute massage until the last 10 minutes where she proceeded to give me the most excruciating head/temple massage you can imagine. I was wincing in pain, but I for whatever reason assumed they knew what they were doing so didn't say anything. My temples hurt for DAYS after this massage. This place should be embarrassed. It is very clear the masseuse had little to no experience. I left feeling awful, in pain and regretting giving them a chance. There is literally another massage place within half a block from here. Go there instead. Much better.

My shoulders and neck have been tense for I don't even know how long (all those hours sitting at a desk ) so this massage was long overdue. I submitted a request online, received a phone call to confirm within the hour, and was all set to go. Upon arrival, they give you a form to fill out to indicate what type of massage (I went for deep tissue), how much pressure (medium/hard) you want, length (60 min) and which parts of the body you'd like focus on (neck & shoulders). Malee was my masseuse and she was incredible--I did not realize my shoulders were like bubble wrap until she got in there. Feeling super relaxed and booking a 90-minute massage for my next one!

I went in on a whim on a weeknight because I was having some neck and shoulder tension. Check in was quick and I was roomed and the massage started right away. Yok was my masseuse and she is truly special. Perfect amount of pressure and just felt amazing. This place is no frills but the service is clean, comfortable, and exceptionally good. At $59 for a 60 min Swedish massage it's a bargain. Will definitely be back sooner than later.

This place is amazing! Our bodies were aching after walking all day for a few days so we booked a couples Thai massage. When we went in, we filled out a form to choose the type of massage, intensity, and focus areas. The front desk lady was very nice and the masseuses were professional and had us feeling brand new. The place was also very clean. Definitely check this place out! Just a note: cash or check only!

This place is incredible. The massage therapist's are amazing! It's clean affordable and overall amazing!

Editing 04/28/21: Went back now that I was vaccinated and Malee was my masseuse. DEFINITELY BOOK HER if you want a deep tissue massage. She really softened up my tense back. I had knots that I didn't even know I had but she worked through them and I felt so much more relaxed at the end of the session. Note that you'll get pretty sore the next day so if you're really sensitive about that, then let them know.

So happy to find this place. Small, simple, clean space. Great prices. The Thai combo and Swedish were amazing, masseuses have strong hands and know what they are doing. Neck and shoulder pain definitely minimized, feel relaxed, looking forward to next visit!!

I booked a last minute deep tissue massage for plantar fasciitis and other chronic tightness related to running. I was new to this type of massage and the results have been extremely noticeable. The beginning felt a bit like using a foam roller but I was prepared as I had booked very firm pressure. The last half was a more traditional massage and a wonderful way to transition to the end of the service. I highly recommend Massage Health Land!

Went here a few times and while I like "walking on my back", I don't like it right off the bat. A proper Thai massage from my experience works up to that. You know....like warm up of sorts. These people just want to walk on your back and do nothing else. I On multiple visits, I requested a "warm up" of say 10-15 minutes before walking and the request was not accommodated so of course, I say something and all the sudden, I'm a bad customer and they don't want my money and they say I was bossing around. What gets lost in translation between the person at the desk to whom the request is made or the masseuse? And then , then the masseuse always acts like they don't speak English and they or may not (I have no clue) but if they do, they act like they don't. Also, is it not OK to request some things while getting a massage that feel good or work on a specific spot that needs extra work? Well again, I guess I am a bad customer for asking. I will say this..decent massage but if you like people walking on your for 90 minutes w/ no warm up or loosening up which can create injury, go for it. If you know of a place for a traditional Thai massage that includes and works up to walking on the back, private message me. Also, do NOT make requests here, you will be considered a bad client and they won't want your money.

Incredible massage. Price is $59 for 60 minutes, well worth it. These guys really know what they are doing.

Shady, uncomfortable, misleading. I was offered "physical release" . Felt violated. Two young men were high fiveing each other when leaving. When I asked for a refund I was called a "prude". The girls obviously live at the facility. If you wish to stand up to human trafficking, then please avoid this location.

My body is gradually getting more sore and I was yearning for a prenatal massage. I was really happy to see that this local Thai massage place offers prenatal massage. I was able to make an appointment with just 1 hour notice. There are lots of meters as well as free residential parking; I was lucky enough to get a free spot. I filled out a form when I checked in that let them know about any relevant medical conditions and circled areas that I wanted them to focus on. When I entered my room, it was dim but not too dark, and there was a place to store my belongings. There was already a body pillow set up to help position me on my side. The masseuse was very polite and apologized that she could not focus on my feet as I had initially hoped because it isn't safe to apply too much pressure to certain areas. She was very careful with her positioning and use of towels/sheets to keep me covered, which I was impressed by (the last prenatal massage I had, I felt like my business was hanging out all over the place). I also liked that the lotion she used was warmed. I'm really glad I chose the 90-minute option because the massage was great and I was super relaxed. For this price point ($75 for 90-minute prenatal massage), this is the best massage I've had, and it was definitely worth it. There were many touches that were thoughtful and professional. I have had a massage at a $$$$ fancy spa that was just a little bit better but not worth the price increase. I'd definitely recommend Health Land Body Spa!

This place is great! I've been in search of a reliable message therapist or a spa that won't leave me with a hole in my wallet, and I finally found it! This spot is not as lush and posh as a lot of the spas or relaxation salons you see in West LA, but if massage quality trumps ambiance and accessory treatments like the interior design of the spa, "curated" teas and candle sets on your priority list, I highly recommend this place. I called in fairly last minute upon my friend's recommendation and was able to book a weekend morning session (Sunday at 11AM) without much trouble. The appointment time conveniently landed me an "Early Bird Special" deal where I could get a full one-hour massage at $39.99 (excluding tip). I opted for a Deep Tissue Massage but was frankly skeptical of the treatment I'd receive at this price point when I first stepped into the place. But boy, was I pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong! The masseuse was friendly and professional. She had no problem adjusting the room temperature for me and switched up the pressure level per pain-causing area. If you are a first-timer, give yourself some cushion time as you'll be asked to fill out a personal information sheet and the place is located on a generally busy street with sparse parking. Again, it's not a fancy "spa" you'd go to feel thoroughly spoiled, but the price is unbeatable if you're looking for a solid massage session!

Jada was terrific. She addressed my problem areas well. The room was a bit on the cool side! I could have used a blanket but I did not ask for one!

Parlor was clean and respectful. Staff still wears masks and was willing to accommodate my allergies by using the oil/lotion I brought. Sue did an excellent job. She spent extra time on my problem areas which helped with my ability to move after. I didn't realize how locked up I was. Happy to recommend.

The old lady waa soooo rough and kept using her elbows to push into me. I kept telling her it hurts but perhaps she didnt understand s word of english. The point of massage is to feel relaxed not tensed up because she keeps hurting you with elbow and arm. Also she kept looking at time . I really shouldnt have given her a very generous tip. Will never go back again. Very unhappy.

I really like this place. Very clean, and great location. I've had a few massages here, and plan on coming back. Some experiences have been better than others based on who massaged me, but for the price and the ambiance you can't complain. Never had a bad massage, just some people have different styles. I tested out a few people and found one I really like, so I will be sticking with her for every visit.

Excellent customer service & an incredible massage at a reasonable price. Vicki is the BEST!! Unfortunately she gets booked up quickly so I don't get in to see her often. Also they have a strict cancellation policy, so if you have a frequently changing work schedule you may not be able to make an appointment ahead of time. But she is worth the wait! Cash only, so make sure you come prepared if you want to avoid the ATM fees. Easy metered parking in the neighborhood.

Great massage.. Had the deep tissue treatment by Sandy and she was very effective in her massage therapy. Highly recommend.

Wow! I am pleasantly surprised! Vicky was incredible. strong in all the right places, more gentle in areas that can be sensitive. Her vibe was great, it felt like she knew what she was doing and she totally had me drooling for more! I've had upwards of 500 massages all over the world and this one was truly great! The place itself is no frilsl and I had a relaxing playlist on my phone Vicky allowed me to play. Highly recommend doing that. I will definitely be back! Bliss awaits!

Honestly great place to get an affordable massage- I've been here a handful of times and have always enjoyed my experiences!

I've been going here for years, every massage therapist is great. Tina is the BEST for deep tissue. I don't want to go to anyone else!! The place is always clean and the prices are great. Can't wait for my next massage!

I will DEFINITELY be a regular here! I usually go to Massage Place next door once/every other week and while they have been great, I felt my concerns were addressed better at Health Land. The women are strong and really worked on the knots on my shoulders and I felt progress was made! I called in as soon as they opened at 10am and they were able to fit me in as soon as 10:30Am. Vicky was my masseuse and was very sweet. Yes they use feet for the first 5ish minutes to warm you up, but they ask you first! I personally don't mind it and it helped work the kinks out too. Vicky used minty massage oil and spent extra time on my shoulders and neck - she then moved on to work on the rest of the body. What was great and unexpected was that after the body massage, she told me to sit criss cross apple sauce and worked more on my neck and shoulders for a bit. Super nice! Parking on street 2 hours free without a permit and meter parking available. Great price - $39.99 from 10am-1/2pm? As the morning deal. Or just check in on Yelp! They also go the full hour!

I booked 90 minutes for my BF and I and we were really looking forward to it based on the reviews. The first part of the massage was great until my therapist turned me on my back. It was immediately clear the relaxing part was over. Even though we had both asked for a swedish massage with medium pressure, by the thumbs digging into my body, I knew that thai massage was all I was going to get. She was dead set on doing what she wanted to me regardless of what I/we requested. My BF had the same experience. Both of us agreed that both therapists were kind of all over the place, not really working their way down your body. It made my girl miss some of the major spots I needed attention to. Between that and leaving the room to greet people walking through the door and answering the phone whenever it rang, I was left feeling unsatisfied and somewhat frustrated. I gave three stars because the place was clean, nice, parking is not an issue and as I said, the first 30 mins were pleasant. If I ever feel the need for a thai treatment, I would come back, otherwise, I would not.
