Here's what some of our clients have to say about us...

I went to Maria weekly for about a year.  She is hands-down the best massage therapist I've been to in town.
Not only is she highly trained and educated in the body mechanics, muscles, etc..., but her place of business is so peaceful, clean, and just overall calming.  I walk in and I feel better already.
I can't recommend Maria Willis's body work enough. To top it off, she's a wonderful person with compassion.  She's known pain so she can relate to having body aches.  She's the real deal.  If I had the money, I'd see her every day.  Seriously.  She's that good.

Have had many massages from Tricia.  She truly has a gift.  I always feel so much better when I leave her.  She will listen to your needs and she works miracles.  Definitely recommend.

Oh, My Goodness! I have never had a massage like the one today with Gail Creeksong! Not only is she schooled in all the traditional techniques, but she is truly a gifted healer. We do not give enough credence to the power of laying on of hands in our society~ I not only received an incredible massage, but felt my energy and spirit restored.  Thank you, Gail for renewing my spirit and body! Everyone out there, treat yourself to  rejuvenating bodywork for the New Year!

I had a 90 minute massage from Tricia and was very pleased and very much relaxed afterward.  She genuinely wanted to please and was very comfortable to be with.

You won't be disappointed! 

--Barbara M. of Saratoga, CA

 

Singing my praises for two wonderful massage therapists!  MARIA is an amazing massage therapist: intuitive, well-trained, and does phenomenal deep tissue work. I have had a handful of massages from her over the past few years. I received a massage from RICK today, and wow! I was very impressed by his knowledge of the body and ability to align my body and muscles. I use my arms a lot in my job, and he did some intricate hand and forearm work.
Thank you for the consistently wonderful massage!

I have been to many places in Santa Cruz County to have a message, but Maria at awaken is by far my favorite Massage Therapist!  I came accross Awaken via groupon and just keep going back.  I look forward to going in to see Maria every other month, it is a special treat!  I love being welcomed by a smile at the door and an amazing massage.  The price is very reasonable for the level of work and service you get.  I cannot say enough good things about this place, thank you groupon for helping me find my favorite massage in town!

Absolutely wonderful place.  Staff are friendly, accommodating and professional.  Maria is friendly, very knowledgeable and talented. I recommend the facility and staff to any/and everyone. 

--Dedra L. of Scotts Valley, CA

 

Want to say that I LOVE Awaken Massage Therapy.  Maria Willis and her staff are top notch.  Her place is warm & inviting,  and they really listen to what your needs are.  I have been getting regular massage for over 20 years and have to say this this the best place I have every been.  You must try it to believe it.  You won't be disappointed.

--Priscilla H. of Aptos, CA 

 

If you're looking to relax or if you're looking to have that tight muscle murdered into submission, Awaken is the place to go!  I have suffered from upper back and shoulder pain for years. Maria, at Awaken, is the only therapist that I have ever seen that is able to target the source of the pain and provide me relief. She has the knowledge, strength and technique that make it possible. I am thankful for Awaken and Maria for helping me regain comfort in my daily life. 

--Emily D. of Soquel, CA

 

I saw Gail Creeksong. Gail is the most present and accomplished body worker I have ever experienced. I have been back many times and each time was totally impressed. She uses many techniques such as massage, cranio-sacral, emotional release work and energetic balancing to custom create the perfect session every time no matter what my body needed. 

--Megan M. of Davenport, CA 

 

I have had a few massage sessions with Tricia. They have all  been wonderful!  Very therapeutic when I have had painful areas and very relaxing as well. She definitely knows her stuff!
It is a real treat to have an hour massage.  You won't be disappointed!

       

--Sheri H. of Soquel, CA 

 

Hands down the best massage therapy I've ever been to (In multiple states and offices in santa cruz county).  I regularly go to Maria for a deep tissue massage.  She has phenomenal strength and knowledge of muscle anatomy.  She tunes in with your body and can find all your sore muscles and areas of tension without telling her where they are.  The office and massage rooms are very peaceful and relaxing.  There are comfortable couches, hot tea, and cold water for before or after your massage.  All the therapists are professional, punctual, friendly, and put you at ease.  I have also received a massage from Gail.  She immediately connected with my energy and gave me an extremely soothing and relaxing massage.  Gail has a set of healing hands that will leave you floating on another planet.        Thanks Awaken!!!

I have been seeing Maria for three years and have never had a bad massage.  I cant even describe how good she is you just have to expierience it.  If you have a sports related injury her deep tissue work will have you playing again soon, and better than before you got hurt. 

--Paulette P.  of Scotts Valley, CA

 

Today I had a Cranial Sacral Massage preformed by Gail. It was by far the most relaxing hour that I have ever spent on a massage table. Gail's energy is amazing and this form of massage in worth the time and money that you put out for it. I will recommend this massage to eveyone I come across.                          

--Tim B. of Scotts Valley, CA 

 

Maria is awesome at what she does.  She's very aware of the body and your needs.  I usually get deep tissue work to release my super tight muscles; she and others she has working with her are always up to the task.  I walk out feeling so much better than when I walk in.  The price is reasonable too.  Go here before you see anyone else.              

--Renee W.  of Boulder Creek, CA

 

Maria has been the only person to really reach all of the deep tissue that needed therapy. The only reason that I would not recommend her, is because I'm selfish, and she's the best! The facility is top notch, and always clean and restful, I look forward to my Massage every week!                                                                

--Hank L. of Scotts Valley, CA

 

Wonderful, clean environment. Maria gives an AWESOME massage. Very competitive prices. Maria is able to give that deep tissue massage I can't seem to get anywhere else. Highly recommend Awaken Massage Therapy.
