Mantra Karuna is a women-owned, LGBTQ+-affirming massage and energy-healing sanctuary on Oak Avenue in Carlsbad Village, offering Thai massage with traditional herbal-ball compresses, Reiki energy healing, and chakra-balancing sessions. The Thai-massage program uses heated luk pra kob herbal compresses — linen bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, kaffir lime, and camphor — applied along the sen energy lines, a modality that complements the breathwork and flexibility training at Peace Love And Yoga in the Village. Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, grief massage, and couples sessions round out the bodywork menu, and Reiki practitioners conduct chakra-cleansing protocols using Usui-lineage hand placements across the seven primary energy centers. Raindrop therapy — a sequential application of nine Young Living essential oils along the spine — targets inflammation markers in the paraspinal musculature. The studio's integrative approach sits alongside the holistic modalities offered by Forte Holistic Therapies in the broader Carlsbad wellness ecosystem. Grief-massage sessions incorporate prolonged-hold craniosacral contact and guided breathing to address somatic stress stored in the diaphragm and psoas complex.
