Inner Balance Therapeutic Massage
As a dancer I needed treatment for an injury, I was recommended to Liz. In just two massage sessions I already felt rehabilitated. My injury healed faster after working with her so I felt both immediate and long-term results from seeing Liz. I would literally fly halfway across the world to be treated by her again.

Thanks so much Liz! Inner Balance Therapeutic Massage is located in Newport Beach, California. We believe that massage is about more than just the human touch. Restoring each system within the body to a state of equilibrium and balance is vital in making massage and bodywork effective to each person's functional lifestyle.

After my frustration of not being able to reach anyone, Liz the owner finally reached out to correct the issue which I really appreciate. I finally got my deep tissue massage and she was amazing! She also offered a complimentary massage to make up for my frustration. I will now be a customer here going forward and will recommend their business. Thank you Liz for your efforts to making it right.

Liz was great. Has a ton of knowledge and has a bunch of cool tricks and modalities up her sleeve. She's an active person and seems to know first hand how to deal with a wide range of issues. Was easy to schedule with and has a professional friendly personable demeanor. Id recommend .

I pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder and could barely move... I went on Yelp to do some research and find a massage therapist who uses doterra, and does cupping when I came across Inner Balance I decided to call and make an appointment. Liz was able to get me in and work on me the same day(thank you LIz) when I arrived she asked me a few questions and she had recommended I try a treatment called Bemer as well
And I was a little nervous to try it but said why not I already am here and she was very knowledgable regarding this treatment. Thank goodness I listened to Liz it's been a day

Liz is the best! I originally was given a gift certificate by my parents to go to her in 2014. My mom thought I would like it because they also use Doterra Essential Oils wahoo! I called and booked with Liz. The place is a little difficult to find however it's just on the back side of the building. The place is sweet, quaint and comfortable with a little sitting area. Her cousin does facials (also 5 stars). After going to Liz for about 6 months she recommended cupping to help with my trigger points. I said sure anything to help. It is the best decision ever. It releases so much tension! For

I bought a great Christmas deal and when came in I had a terrible migraine and low back pain. I had my massage with Elizabeth (Liz). She was very nice, patient, confident and she knew exactly what she was going to do exactly as a dedicated professional knows what to do.

Good pressures on my back and neck. She relieved me from all the pains and also from that horrible headache, so 60 mins later I was feeling like another person!!

The salon its self is very clean, tidy, cozy and relaxing. Relaxing sounds and even a water fountain right outside the window which makes it much more relaxing and enjoyable

Liz guided me through a wonderful massage that I had purchased through Groupon. I highly recommend this place based on the fact that it is not your average massage place; very clean, welcoming and you definitely receive individualized attention.

Two visits so far with Kristyns Vaculikova. This massage is the real deal!! Have been having lower back and shoulder issues and what an improvement already!
Frankly--I have never been a massage fan but I have now become a believer. I know that this will help to keep this old body moving.

I bought my groupon here and requested for Kristyna while booking my appointment after reading through all good reviews from Yelp. Make sure to arrive 20 minutes early for two reasons. First 10 minutes early just to find parking spot. It is really slim picking. I got lucky after driving around looking for a spot everywhere. It is located next to a dentist clinic. As far as I remember there is only one treatment room(?). No front desk but just a lounge place to fill up your information. If you want to use restroom it is outside of the massage place. The second 10 minutes is to fill up paperwork

I bought a groupon deal for a 60 mins Swedish massage.
Making appointment process was easy. You basically call and leave a message and they call you back to set up the appointment. They have an online booking appointment as well but it was down when I went and checked.

Mark was the person who called and booked my appointment. The salon itself is very clean and calming. I had my massage with Kristyna. She was very nice and knew what she was doing. The pressures on my back and neck werr just right because I have been studying so much lately and I wanted some stress off me....

They have this wellness

Kristyna gave me the best massage that I have had in ages. She suggested the focus be on my upper back and neck where my muscles were stiff. Her technique was perfect in working out the knots without (too much) pain. She checked in with me to confirm the pressure was comfortable for me. I felt like a new woman when I left there.

The salon is clean and relaxing. There is a fountain nearby and it creates a relaxing sound combined with the gentle music, and the aromatherapy oils with a perfect massage...nirvana!

I will defiantly be back soon!

Liz performed an hour-long deep-tissue massage. It was extremely effective in relieving muscle pain, stiffness and joint-immobility, and was far more effective than any previous massage I've received.

Liz is very friendly and her facility is clean and inviting. My massage lasted a full hour of hands-on time and achieved everything and more than I hoped for. Highly recommended.

In Newport Beach for work & family. Needed a massage and found this great deal on Groupon. Website is fantastic & had online scheduling. Location is close to where I'm staying, near Fashion Island. Great directions online: go towards Fedex & tailor, past fountain and it is next to dentist office on the left, grey door.

Quiet peaceful location. Clean and tastefully decorated. Music was relaxing and room is near fountain so you get the trickling water sound.

Kristyna was amazing!! Very professional and caring. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Any adjustments just

Found a groupon for this place and was a bit skeptical because I have had some bad experiences on other discount massage attempts. The outside doesn't look like much...however, it was one of the best massages I have ever had (60 minutes Swedish but was between a deep tissue with timely inquiries on the pressure). Can't say enough great things about it. I debated a 4 star rating due to the facility but the actual massage experience made me forget all that. Krystina is the therapist my wife and I had. I see where there are a lot of good reviews for Liz (whom we can't vouch for

I had a deep tissue massage with Kristyna and she is amazing. She used deep pressure just as I like and and her technique is really good. This girl knows what she is doing.

The massage room is quiet, tranquil with a super, super comfy massage bed. I've been to some places where the massage bed feels like it's about to fall apart. There is also a very relaxing waterfall somehere...it sounds like it is outside widow next to the massage bed.

The office is easy to find with a GPS...it's near Salon Gregorie. I would book Kristyna again or maybe try Liz sometime...she seems to get

I received a Groupon Voucher as a birthday present from a friend to this facility. I had previously been a member of Massage Envy, so I have experienced quite a few different massage therapists who all have different styles and techniques. There hasn't been a single one who I liked enough to stay with, so with this massage I wasn't expecting anything amazing either. Just a run of the mill treatment.

Their suite is a bit difficult to find, but just follow the sound of the trickling water fountain and it's in that little courtyard sort of hidden under some stairs. Krystina was

Bliss!
I had 30mins back and neck massage and 30 mins reflexology, both were excellent. Liz was very knowledgeable about anatomy and had a fantastic touch, she checked several times if the pressure was good. The bed was warm and the soothing music calming, not irritating as can be the case in some spas. Would highly recommend Liz.

Although the 1st experience wasn't enjoyable, the 2nd one with Liz was super good. If you are planning to go here, I suggest you book it with Liz.

Liz is extremely nice and very dedicated to make sure everything fits your needs, including the pressure, temperature, etc.

I had a Deep Tissue massage with her, and she was well focusing on the exact right parts of my body, and the pressure she gave was just the way I loved it.

The bed was heated, and the room temperature was perfect (this time!). The ambient light and the sound from the water fall were also as good as they get.

I'm always in search of good massage places. And I may have found one with Liz.

She is so nice! I got lost on the way, and she stayed with me on the phone until I found my way into the parking lot of the place.

I will definitely be back.
