I found out about SCM on Yelp. The reviews looked good, so I wanted to give it a shot. About me: I'm not a regular massage-getter, but I have had a few over the years, ranging from the cheapie 15-min foot massages (which can be fantastic), to a few of the Thai massage places that litter the valley, to Burke Williams which is as much of an experience as it is a massage. So, after setting an appt with Natalya who works out of a home studio, I checked out her website, found out that she's won numerous awards, and has been working out of the SCV since 2000.
Bottom line for me - it was the best massage I've ever had. Those award-givers have it right on the money. I got the Santa Clarita Massage (I think that's the combo's name) and it was just spectacular. Her years of experience really come through when she's working out those knots. I was very, very impressed and will definitely be going back, and I'm encouraging my wife to do the same (she's a big fan of Burke Williams, but I think she's going to love Natalya).
Highly recommended if you're in the area. Make sure you call ahead to see if she's free for an appointment - it's not a stop-by-anytime place.
