About

The Garden Spa in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district delivers Hawaiian-tradition Lomilomi bodywork and customized facial treatments from a day spa on Coast Highway 101. The Aloha-rooted approach extends across a massage menu that includes Lomilomi, Shiatsu, craniosacral therapy, sports massage, and prenatal bodywork, a breadth of manual-therapy modalities that parallels the structural focus at Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage elsewhere in Encinitas. Identified as women-owned and designated an LGBTQ+ safe space, the spa pairs its bodywork program with skincare services and full-body waxing in an outdoor-garden courtyard setting off North Court Street. The surf-and-wellness crossover is literal here, as the business operates in conjunction with a surf instruction program for clients combining ocean activity with recovery massage, a format that complements the movement-and-recovery philosophy at Yoga Box on the Encinitas wellness corridor. Signature protocols include Lomilomi long-stroke forearm technique combined with hot-stone thermal placement along the erector spinae and trapezius muscle groups.
