Choosing a Massage at Heaven Scent: A Hollister Guide

Start with what your body is telling you

Heaven Scent's massage menu lists seven options, and it's easy to just pick the one at the top and hope for the best. A few minutes of thinking about what's actually bothering you, tight shoulders from a desk job, sore legs from standing all day, or just wanting an hour to switch off, makes the choice a lot easier. Here's what each massage on the menu at 601 San Benito St actually covers, so you can call (831) 637-2096 and ask for the right one the first time.

The Heaven Scent Massage: the one that gave it its name

The Heaven Scent Massage is the spa's own signature treatment, and it earned its name by concentrating on the head, neck and shoulders, where the menu says our bodies tend to accumulate tension. It runs 60 minutes for $115 or 90 minutes for $172. April Cee, in a Google review, called it Belinda's specialty massage and said it was pure heaven.

Heavenly Rocks

Heavenly Rocks pairs the therapist's hands with hot river stones, which the menu says will soothe tight muscles. It's available at 60 minutes for $110 or 90 minutes for $165.

Deep Tissue, or Therapeutic and Swedish

On the menu, Deep Tissue Massage pays special attention to specific muscle groups and goes deep to ease chronic pain and acute discomfort. It runs 60 minutes for $125 or 90 minutes for $187. Therapeutic and Swedish Massage is listed at 60 minutes for $105 or 90 minutes for $157.

If you're not sure which one to book, call (831) 637-2096 and ask.

Facial Massage, for a different kind of tension

Facial Massage is a 45 minute, $95 treatment focused on the shoulders, neck, scalp and facial muscle groups. The menu notes it's recommended for people who deal with migraines or who have been diagnosed with facial paralysis; if either applies to you, mention it when you call.

Mom To Be and Together Massage

Mom To Be lets the mom to be lie on her tummy and rest comfortably with a supportive cushion, promoting relaxation and healing, at 60 minutes for $115. Together Massage is the side by side massage service, shared with your favorite person, with your choice of massage. Pricing depends on massage selection: Therapeutic is $210 and Deep Tissue is $250 for 60 minutes.

Lengths on the menu

Most massages on the menu are listed at both 60 and 90 minutes: the Heaven Scent Massage, Heavenly Rocks, Deep Tissue, and Therapeutic and Swedish. Facial Massage is listed at 45 minutes, and Mom To Be and the Together Massage at 60 minutes.
