Ocean View Massage

Bought a groupon for 45 minute swedish massage. I have been here for a couple’s massage an year back.
What a stress relief massage by Karla! She is amazing. did not feel that shes rushing through the massage at all… She took her time on every muscle and loved the way she did my leg massage… No other masseuse has ever done my feet coz they have a separate «foot massage» for which I have to pay extra…
Karla is very friendly. I have had past experiences of masseuses who just concentrate on one part of the body and make it sour… This was not the case with Karla. The room was clean and the music was soothing too

This is my go to Spa! I enjoy the quietness and relaxed atmosphere. Karla is very sweet and knows what she is doing. My massages have been excellent and my facial… Well let’s just say it was hard to keep my hands off my face.

I have been a loyal Ocean View Massage customer for about a year now… I am pretty much with them from the beginning… This is my go to place for my regular massage sessions. Prior to discovering Ocean View, let’s just say, I was a massage whore, trying out different places. All I wanted was a spa in Fremont that is clean, offer excellent service with a reasonable price tag so I can go on a regular basis without feeling a huge dent to my wallet. I finally found Karla, the owner of Ocean View, and I later met Mari as well. They are both fantastic therapists and sweet individuals. Give them a try, I am positive that you will go back!

I had a prebooked appointment for a Swedish massage and facial as my birthday gift. Karla did a great job. The pressure was perfect. She asked a couple of times if the pressure was fine or needed more/​less. Loved the massage. Facial was good too but my blackheads are still there!

I love Ocean View Massage!!! Great customer service and very lovely. Would most def recommend.

I received a gift certificate package from a friend, and decided to start with the couples massage, along with my fiancé. The massage was very relaxing for the both of us and was a really nice treat we did not expect was going to be so lavish, When the massage concluded we were presented with complimentary champagne and chocolate!. I would chose Ocean View over any massage envy place EVER. What really stood out to me aside from over all massage quality was that you could tell that the owner and her staff sincerely wanted to give a genuine experience to each and everyone of her guests. Owner clearly has heart and mind invested and it is reflected in the style and personal touch of her «office» and treatments. in my previous experience I have always felt like going into a massage envy is like waiting in a doctors office, and the therapists seem so «over it.» Oh and the other thing I liked… The ladies did not overly ask questions or anything… (personal pet peeve of mine, and it happens a lot is when the massage therapist wants to converse with you the whole time, and you are trying to just relax and enjoy it… Introverts you are safe here.

I drove from Livermore, CA. for my appointment on a Friday. My wife got me my appointment and I am so thankful that she did. When I first walked in I was skeptical because there was no one at the front desk. My massage therapist came out and greeted me and was very hospitable and professional. Her name was Maricela. I highly recommend her because she was able to apply just the right amount of pressure on my back to get out the knots and soreness. Maricela is an excellent massage therapist and she didn’t talk during the massage and I actually fell asleep. There are a new business and worth the drive and the experience!

Karla and Cathy came out to my personal training studio to provide chair massages for our open house event. They were professional and gave relaxing massages all who wanted one. In chatting with them, I found them to be friendly and polite as well as professional – everything I look for in a business to partner with. I’ve been looking for a massage studio to recommend to my clients as the common side effect of working out is sore muscles: o) Having spent time chatting and receiving a preview of their services, I am totally comfortable sending my clients to them!

I’ve been getting regular bi-​monthly massages for about 10 years now. Since moving to Bay Area in 2014 I’ve been coming to to Ocean View Massage to see Cathy for medium-​to-​deep tissue massages. She is SIMPLY THE BEST massage therapist I’ve ever had! I leave there so very relaxed, and feeling amazing! So glad I gave them a try through Living Social Deal last year! The place is very cute and clean, ladies are super sweet! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This was our (my mom, sister in law, and myself) first time here and we had a great experience! Cathy and Audrey were our massage therapists and Maricela was our esthetician. Massage pressure was perfect. My personal favorite is that both Cathy and Maricela were not talkers! On top of them knowing what they’re doing, they do it quietly! My mom really enjoyed Audrey. They conversed during her massage, but not over-​the-​top.
Overall, we had an amazing experience. We left feeling relaxed, smooth, and ready for a nap (although there were times we dozed on their tables!)

I received a 90 minute massage through Living Social as a birthday gift from my brother-in-law’s sweet girlfriend, Julie N (thanks love!). Time got away from me and before I knew it, the voucher was about to expire! Luckily, I was able to call and book a future appointment before it did.
Finding the place: It is located in a bland looking two-​story building right on the corner of Mission Blvd and Las Palmas Ave. There are zero signs on the exterior of the building indicating that this Ocean View Massage business was located inside, but I ventured in anyway and took the stairs up to the second level to Suite 206.
Upon walking in, there was no one at the front desk. I heard a pair of voices conversing in the backroom and only when I cleared my throat did someone return to the lobby area. I announced that I had a massage appointment and the receptionist said to take a seat as my masseuse was prepping my room for me.
Apparently Cathy was my massage therapist, although she did not introduce herself before we began the session. I actually did not know her name until the VERY END as I was leaving a tip with the front desk and she gave me her business card.
The Massage: Definitely a MEH. I’ve had many massages at 5-​star rated spas with highly experienced masseuses so I could tell right off the bat that my therapist was unseasoned. Unfortunately because it was so cold in there, even under the blanket, it was hard for me to really relax. I am unsure if the therapists prefer the rooms to be cool or if the heater was broken that day, but it was not very conducive to relaxation. This is a tad awkward to mention, but at one point, while reaching over to massage my back, Cathy’s stomach pushed into the top of my head a few times, lol. Umm. Also, at the end of the session, I’m accustomed to being offered a moist wet towel to wipe off the excess massage oil if I prefer to but none of that happened here. I ended up leaving all greasy and oily, lol. Thankfully I planned to go straight home.
Last thoughts: I’m grateful for the thoughtful gift because I love getting massages but unfortunately I will NOT be returning here as there are many better places to get a decent one :(

it could have been 3.5. My wife love this place and see go there only. Karla the owner is very cool and know massage. she was very good with post natal massage on my wife. Gave some usefull tips also to her.
For me it was just Ok. lady who did my massage was not that good.

Not professional. I tried a Unilocal special and got in the same day. The masseuse (if you can call her that) was not very experienced & I think she was new. I had a Unilocal deal and I believe the owner linked me up with a newbie. The massage was terrible. I had to keep explaining what I wanted. How do I relax if I am required to do this? Then, after the massage there was no use of hot towels and a good place always uses hot towels.
I asked the owner when I came out why no hot towels, she said, «we don’t use hot towels on new clients.» I asked, «why.» She said, «because what if they don’t like it.» What?!
Will not be returning.
There were masseuse just sitting around talking. Seems to me the owner may want to provide better service to patrons, especially of you’re a new business. Competition is plentiful.

This was my first time trying Ocean View Massage and I had a great experience! It is located in an office building on the second floor. I was greeted upon arrival, asked to complete a form, and escorted to my room.
Jacqueline was my massage therapist and did wonders for my neck and shoulders. She applied firm pressure like I requested and I left feeling refreshed.
Since they are located on Mission Boulevard, you can definitely hear the cars driving by. But the massage itself makes up for any outside noises you may hear :-)

Unilocalers,
So, I went with a friend to participate in a 24 hour fitness class called Body Pump on a Wednesday. My friend has been going for a while so she didn’t wake up to muscle strains and spasms along her shoulder and neck like I did the next day. I frantically looked for a massage place that wasn’t shady and looked legit. Hoping to find a place that also was going to do a good job but at a good/​discounted price, I stumbled onto Ocean View Massage. I bought a voucher and called the number on here to make an appointment for the next day at 12:00pm. I left 2 voice messages to make sure I was calling the right number. The owner called me back couple hours later and we arranged a time that would work for both of us. She was very friendly!
So, now I’m on my way to this massage place and it’s difficult to find at first. I circled around the parking lot for about 5 minutes and decided to park and just run into a building that looked somewhat like a medical building. So, I’m running now 7 minutes late to my massage. I ran up the stairs gasping for air and then I walked towards one of the doors that had Ocean View Massage Sign in front of it. I fling it open expecting to find a line of ladies just waiting or something. but nope, the owner and the masseuse said, «Olive! I’m glad you were able to make it!» They were very welcoming and personable. I was shocked and stunned at the very warming welcome. It felt like it was a birthday surprise.
The massage went for a hour. I thought the masseuse wasn’t doing a great job, going deep into the tissues and untying all the knots. I’ve told her several times to go harder but she’d go hard in the beginning and then soften again. I went home a little disappointed because I was able to still feel the strain somewhat.
Little did I know that I was going to feel great the next morning! I don’t know WHAT that masseuse did but she did her magic and proved me wrong! I thought I needed the massage to be harder but I guess she knew what she was doing! :)
I have already recommended this place to my friends that have been having back problems. so go and get yours!

I bought a living social coupon for 90 mins. Karla quickly responded to my call. I got the appointment right away to come in. Karla was my therapist for deep tissues. She is very friendly and professional. Her techniques were perfect. She has a lot of passion for massage. I am very happy with her service and massage. I strongly recommend this place. I plan to come back for more treatment.

I moved back to the Bay Area earlier this year and have gone to Ocean View a couple of times since then. I LOVE massages, but not paying too much for them. Ocean View has reasonable prices and is very convenient for me to visit.
Karla, the owner, is very sweet and chatty. She has given me two prenatal massages and has a wealth of information about pregnancy. It’s great having a massage place where prenatal massages are taken seriously. For instance, Karla makes sure all of the therapists have taken prenatal massage courses. Also, Karla would emphasize why she can or cannot do certain things (e.g. deep tissue on the lower back).
I have been impressed by the services here, which I wouldn’t have expected getting in an office building!

This place is rip off. We got 90 mins massage and ended up only getting 60 mins. We were late about 15 mins, so we were told that the 90 mins starts from our appointment time and not when we started. Also they messed up the appointment time. My another friend was clearly told that the appointment time is 2:30 but when he arrived they said it should be 2 pm. So they deduct another half hour out of it. This place is just not having good communication and customer services.

A friend and I enjoyed a fabulous massage. Karla (the owner) is super sweet and clearly loves what she does. I wish I didn’t live so far from her studio as I’d for sure be a regular!
Do yourself a big favor and visit Ocean View. You can thank me later. ;)

After much urging from others about the value of a massage, in addition to deep tissue massages to ease sports-​related aches and pains, I decided to try out Ocean View Massage. What prompted me, of course, was a sports-​related pain my shoulder.
Karla answered my voice message right away, and we scheduled an appointment for the next day. I had to go into the main building to figure out where her suite was located in the professional building. But foot traffic was minimal, and it was quiet, all conducive to a relaxing massage. Not only did Karla do a wonderful massage, she also took the time to educate me on how to relieve knots that form in the muscles, and the differences between using hot and cold compresses.
Karla’s workspace is clean and fresh, making sure the heated massage table has nice clean sheets for each client.
I have had a few other massages over the years, but I felt self-​conscious. I don’t know if that was the masseuse causing me that discomfort, or me being a ‘prude.’ Whatever the reason, not once did I feel that way with Karla. You can tell she loves what she does. And what she does is terrific. I also like the reasonable rates, which makes more frequent sessions affordable. I had such a positive experience with Karla, that I made another appointment for the following week!
