About

Since 1995, The Awareness Center has been providing holistic health services from its suite at 2180 Garnet Ave, Suite 1L, in Pacific Beach, 92109, near the shores of Mission Bay. Director Steve has been in the massage industry since 1989 and was among the first wave of massage therapists to work with Deepak Chopra when he arrived in San Diego in the early 1990s. The center offers colon hydrotherapy, therapeutic massage, and professional skin care, with all massage therapists holding state certification and most qualifying as Holistic Health Practitioners—the highest training level recognized by the City of San Diego, requiring 1,000 hours of coursework. Those exploring holistic options along Garnet Ave can also visit SP Acu and Wellness for acupuncture, Reiki, and additional bodywork modalities. Steve developed a proprietary technique for releasing deep muscles in the upper and lower back by first accessing the insertion points of larger muscular structures, and he integrates neuromuscular reeducation, shiatsu, deep tissue massage, cross-fiber friction, and parasympathetic massage for chronic conditions. The center is wheelchair accessible with a gender-neutral restroom and accepts both credit and debit cards. Clients winding down after a session can continue their self-care routine at Longevity Lounge, another Pacific Beach wellness destination. All six Google reviews award five stars, reflecting the consistent quality of care at this long-running practice.
