Relieve built-up tension and alleviate stress with this classic massage that is both relaxing and nurturing. Using smooth, flowing strokes with light to medium pressure, this soothing treatment helps ease muscle fatigue, improve circulation, and promote a deep sense of calm throughout the body. The experience is enhanced with aromatherapy, adding an extra element of relaxation for both the body and mind.

Perfect for those seeking restoration and balance, Swedish Massage gently relaxes the nervous system while helping to release everyday physical and mental tension. The result is a comforting, rejuvenating treatment that leaves you feeling refreshed, renewed, and deeply restored.

60 minutes – $165
90 minutes – $215


Sports Massage

Designed for those with an active lifestyle, this customized treatment is tailored to your specific activities, areas of tension, and individual recovery needs. Your therapist will use a variety of massage modalities and techniques to focus on areas of pain and muscular stress, helping to ease soreness, reduce tightness, and improve overall mobility.

Whether you are recovering from exercise, managing chronic muscle tension, or preparing your body for continued activity, Sports Massage helps target overworked muscles while supporting flexibility and circulation. This results-driven treatment leaves you feeling looser, stronger, and better prepared for whatever movement comes next.

60 minutes – $165
90 minutes – $215


Deep Tissue Massage

This deep, therapeutic massage is especially beneficial for those who prefer firmer pressure or wish to focus on specific areas of chronic muscle tightness and tension. Using slower, more focused techniques, your therapist works to release patterns of muscular congestion, helping to ease discomfort, improve mobility, and restore greater comfort throughout the body.

Result-oriented and highly customizable, this treatment can be tailored to address your individual needs, whether you are seeking relief from persistent tension, overworked muscles, or areas of restricted movement. The result is a targeted, restorative massage that leaves you feeling relieved, rebalanced, and renewed.

60 minutes – $165
90 minutes – $215


Hot Stone Massage

This deeply soothing treatment uses heated stones as extensions of your therapist’s hands to enhance the massage experience and bring comfort to aching muscles. The warmth of the stones allows tension to release more easily, helping to relax the body on a deeper level while promoting a profound sense of calm and well-being. The experience is further enhanced with aromatherapy, adding a calming sensory element that supports deeper relaxation.

The stones are also carefully placed on specific areas of the body to deliver penetrating warmth that helps melt away stress, ease muscular tightness, and encourage full-body relaxation. Perfect for those seeking both therapeutic relief and tranquil restoration, Hot Stone Massage leaves you feeling comforted, balanced, and completely renewed.

75 minutes – $195


Lymphatic Detox & Refresh

This revitalizing session begins with a full-body dry brush treatment to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and prime the lymphatic system by increasing surface circulation. Following this invigorating start, a gentle, rhythmic massage uses specialized light strokes to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid. 

This treatment includes essential work on the abdomen to reduce bloating and support the primary lymphatic pathways located in the upper abdominal region. The session also features a dedicated facial lymphatic massage that targets the specific network of lymph nodes located around the jawline, nose, and eyes. By manually stimulating these nodes, the massage aids in the deep removal of metabolic waste and stagnant fluid, effectively reducing internal facial congestion and facial puffiness. This comprehensive approach supports your body’s internal detoxification pathways and boosts overall immune health, leaving you feeling balanced and restored. 

75 minutes – $195


Sundari Massage

Inspired by the Ayurvedic tradition, this gentle, fluid massage offers a beautiful balance of relaxation and therapeutic benefit. Flowing techniques help calm the nervous system, ease physical tension, and create a profound sense of harmony throughout the body. Your therapist will select the Sundari Ayurvedic oil that most appeals to your senses, enhancing the experience with a personalized aromatic element.

This deeply restorative treatment is designed to nourish the body, quiet the mind, and encourage an overall sense of balance and well-being. Ideal for those seeking a more holistic massage experience, Sundari Massage leaves you feeling grounded, renewed, and deeply relaxed.

60 minutes – $185
90 minutes – $235


Prenatal Massage (given after 1st trimester)

Specifically designed for the expectant mother, this nurturing full-body massage provides a deeply relaxing and soothing experience while supporting the body through the physical changes of pregnancy. Gentle, carefully adapted techniques help increase circulation, ease areas of discomfort, and promote a greater sense of comfort and well-being.

Prenatal Massage can help reduce feelings of stress, encourage better rest, and relieve common areas of tension such as the back, hips, and legs. Thoughtfully tailored for both safety and comfort, this calming treatment offers a peaceful moment of restoration, leaving you feeling supported, relaxed, and renewed.

Please note that prenatal massages at Evolutions utilize “Side Lying” technique. It is not advisable to be in a prone (lying face down) position during an entire prenatal massage. Direct compression to the lumbar region can increase intra-uterine pressure. Side Lying massage is comfortable and does not put pressure on your lower back or inferior vena cava (the large vein that carries blood from the organs in the abdomen and pelvis back to the heart). The whole body can also be treated from the side lying position.

60 minutes – $165

Frequently Asked Questions about Massage in Santa Barbara

A massage is a therapeutic spa treatment that involves the manipulation of muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues in the body. Massage can help to relieve tension, reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. There are many different types of massage, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, and aromatherapy massage.

To prepare for a massage, it is recommended to avoid eating a heavy meal or consuming alcohol beforehand, as this can interfere with the relaxation and therapeutic effects of the massage. It is also important to arrive at the spa on time and in a relaxed state of mind. Some spas may also recommend showering or bathing beforehand to help relax the muscles and prepare the body for the massage.

While massage is generally safe, there are certain conditions that may require caution or modification of the massage techniques. It is important to inform the massage therapist of any medical conditions, injuries, or areas of concern before the massage to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective. In some cases, a massage may need to be avoided or modified, such as in individuals with certain medical conditions or during pregnancy. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing a massage if there are any concerns.
