Best massages ever!. When you walk through the door of Stressbusters, you enter a beautiful, tranquil retreat that is the first step in the relaxing process. Eight members of our family have been regular clients of Stressbusters for the past 15 years. We have always been refreshed and rejuvenated by the wonderful massages and the kind, helpful staff. The therapeutic massages literally kept our elderly family members moving, in spite of arthritius and compressed discs. Be warned, Stressbusters' massages can definitely be addictive!

great pregnancy massage. As an ob-gyn, I have recommended Stressbusters to many of my patients. I think they do the best pregnancy massages. Yes, it is located in a strip mall next to Chuck-E-Cheese and it doesn't have some of the amenities of a Burke-Williams, but I have had the most therapeutics massages of my life from Mikki at Stressbusters.

Consistently Effective and Skilled Massages. I moved to the East Coast five years ago and was sad to leave my massage "home away from home" StressBusters. Luckily, my husband has gotten a transfer back to Southern California and I was able to return to this great little gem of a place!

I have tried the cheap places that seem to be popping up all over, but the difference between real bodywork and fluff massages is HUGE!! The staff here knows how to really relieve pains that my doctor only writes prescriptions for and that these WalMart Massage facilities haven't a clue how to heal. I walk out feeling 100% every single time!

So good to be home to southern California and to StressBusters.

Best Masssage Ever!!. I was recommended to StressBusters by a co-worker and fell in love with the place. Best massage I have ever experienced and I love their community involvement. When I was there recently they were hosting a food drive for the Second Harvest Food Bank, giving away free massage in a drawing for those bringing in food.

Their prices were good and everything there was high quality; I bought some lotion that made my skin feel like silk.

Great Treatment, very personal treatment. After reading the two review below, I laughed. Obviously they are by the same person!!...Anyone who has purchased gift certificates at ANY spa knows that gift certificates are not refundable. Dude...get real!

I loved this place. They are genuine and trustworthy. Loved both the facial and the massage that my husband bought me for my birthday. The smell of the facial products was yummy and the massage therapist was excellent!

Gift Certificates are non-refundable and Stressbusters isn't in the best location. I bought a gift certificate for my wife. Wife wasn't happy w/ the gift so I tried to return it. I was told that they do not refund gift certificates. I was not advised of the policy upfront and it is not on any of the printed materials handed to me (incl the gift certificate). Granted, I should have checked. I contacted the manager, Michael Anderson, and he acknowledged that he would "look into making the policy more clear in the future" but didn't offer a refund. Instead, he suggsted I give the gift certificate to someone else. I've e-mailed back and forth with Michael, and he refuses to give me a refund.

It's silly, but my wife actually didn't like the name, and she didn't like the location (Laguna Hills-old strip mall). I've gotten gift certificates at Amadeus and Burke Williams. If you want to get a gift certificate, you're better off getting a gift certificate from one of these places.

don't trust its marketing ploy!. Got to be kidding me...I think "the best facial of 08" has to be a marketing ploy. I went to this place expecting a great facial but my experience was below average. The place has a nice vibe, the decor was pretty good and the people were very friendly but the facial was very disappointing. I felt a little pressured to do the more expensive Epicuren facial. I agreed to it as long as it includes great extractions. After $120, my face is still full of zits and congested pores! The neck and hand massage that comes with the facial was a joke. The worst massage of this kind, ever! If this spa wants the real title of "best facial" and not a fake one, it needs to train its estheticians better and work a lot harder.

Voted for best of OC. There are spas in Orange County that we have experienced, but this little wellness spa offered the best massage for cancer survivors! I had cancer surgery a year ago and have been a bit apprehensive about getting massages. After speaking with the person I encountered on the phone, I felt at ease that they knew what to do with those of us who have experienced cancer and chemotherapy. I wish I could shout how good I felt and how comfortable I felt under their experienced hands. They know about cancer and how to serve those of us who have experienced this horrid disease. I could tell that the therapist I had knew about cancer and how to serve cancer survivors with expertise and heart. The massage I received from their therapist was just what I needed and I felt safe under her hands.

Excellent massage. I have visited StressBusters twice now and found both therapists to be excellent and I am a frequent massage client of Orange County facilities.

Also found the place cozily sized and very ,very relaxing. Great value, excellent work.
