Joy Athans

If you want a fabulous massage without paying chi-​chi spa prices, go see Joy! She’s the absolute best. It had been a couple of months since my last massage due to foot surgery, so I treated myself to a 90 minute massage this morning. She is located in the Eye of Buddha store on Park in University Heights. Limited parking so give yourself a few extra minutes to park. Highly recommend! Booking my next massage right now!

I highly recommend getting a massage from Joy! This morning I went to her for the first time and I will definitely be returning! She was very personable, professional, and did an excellent job.

So here is the skinny on Chrysalis Healing Arts «Joy Athans». I have had many a massage throughout the years. When I had my first massage I thought afterwards hmm not bad. not bad at all. I left feeling renewed and regenerated. So much so I scheduled a series of massages. Then I went for the second massage, well suffice it to say I thought I needed to be wheeled into the RECOVERY ROOM afterwards due to the massage being so GREAT I just wanting to lie there indefinitely and recover from what was what I would consider a synergistic exchange of energy. They say the second time around is better with most things and this is evidence of that saying. Do your self a service and check out Joy «Chrysalis Healing Arts» you will not regret it. I assure you. The environment is warm and inviting and Joy does truly have magical hands… Don’t take my word for it give it a go. You will be needing that Recovery Room too. :O)

What bliss! My sister, mother and I all 3 received massages from Joy, and we are now Joy-​ful plus! From her personal warmth, to her soothing aromatherapy oils to her unmatched massage skills, Joy is a gem!
I found myself able to relax deeply, in mind, body and spirit on Joy’s table, while receiving the benefit of her multiple bodywork modalities (Cranio-​Sacral, Polarity, etc).
My neck hasn’t felt this loose and groovy in quite a while, and my legs (which I have underwarmed up and underwarmed down when dancing) are feeling happier than they have in a long time.
I’m booking with Joy whenever I visit San Diego!!!

Absolutely wonderful! Best massage I’ve ever had! Joy was amazing! I will definitely be coming back in the future and referring my friends! The scalp massage was the best thing ever! I highly recommend Joy!

This was THE best massage I have ever had! Her touch is truly a gift! I left feeling stress free and healed, Mentally I felt cleansed. I will definitely return to her! An incredible experience!!!

Excellent in every way! I had my first one-​hour massage from Joy over the weekend. Cannot say enough about the massage, Joy’s professionalism and an experience I am still feeling benefits from two days later! If they only had 10 stars… thanks, Joy!

Joy joy joy… wish the massage would have never ended. I’ve had my share of massages, some from places that charged $ 300 plus per hour back in my Vegas days. Joy is hands down amazing. Tied for the best masseuse I’ve ever had, the other person was in Vegas.
I will recommend her to all my friends. Pays attention to exactly what you tell her you need and her pressure is exactly what you ask for.

I loved my massage! I have an hour massage with wonderful essential oils and an Indian scalp massage. My neck, back and shoulders feel amazing! Joy is very friendly and I felt relaxed immediately! I liked her location, the room was very, very soundproof and I just heard the faintest relaxing music in the background. She is a nurse and a massage therapist… She really knows her stuff! I will be seeing her monthly!

Joy hands are absolutely amazing. She knows just what my body needs. Her massage s reach much deeper than just the physical body. I also love how Joy uses essential oils with the massage. I not only come out feeling refreshed but I smell good too!
The space Joy creates is very welcoming and comfortable. I have found my body work home!

If I could bring her home with me, I would. What a great therapist, she know just where to concentrate. And her craniosacral work is fantastic. Felt refreshed for days!

A friend recommended Joy and I’m happy he did. I’ve seen Joy for cranial sacral and massage and absolutely love her energy and touch! I always feel great after each session. Her use of essential oils definitely enhances my experience. If I could, I’d go see Joy every day!

Joy is an amazing massage therapist. She uses essential oils to enhance the experience. Last time I saw Joy she did her magic on my neck and shoulders. Oh my goodness, wonderful! I highly recommend Joy, she is the best in her field.

Love Love Love!!! Joy has an amazing set of hands. I have had both a massage and cranial sacral therapy which were both amazing. I was so relaxed that I fell in and out of sleep several different times. Joy is very personable and has wonderful energy which is so important to me. It is always a pleasure when I go see her and I am looking forward to many other massages!

Joy Athan’s touch provides both a sacred space for healing and one of the best massages I have ever experienced. She combines the perfect method at the perfect time– a true artist with practical techniques and a sense of customized improvisation. The cranio sacral work was icing on the cake. I felt so nurtrured, completely relaxed and so much vitality after the session. As an educator and practitioner of Holistic Health for the last 30 years, my recommendation to experience Joy’s work comes from someone who really appreciates quality massage and healing. I am confident that others will agree.
