I have been a client of The Body Temple for years. The products are top notch and the care given matches 100 percent! Mrs. Smith has the BEST hands ever! They're almost deceiving because to the eye they're so soft and feminine looking yet her touch is firm, commanding, and super comforting. She's not afraid to really get in there and knock those knots out, but you also feel the love and years of knowledge in her touch while she's doing it. With a warm smile and soothing voice too, a massage from her is always a win for you.
I have experienced many of her body-care products, her oatmeal-honey soap

I have been wanting to try out this place for a while. Came by a few times during business hours but the door was locked, assuming they only do it by appointments only. Even tried calling few times, but never got through to booking a session. But I just wanted to see for myself, since their reviews were so great...that I was so determined to get thru....so finally yesterday, I went by again and caught Nakia opening up shop. She was so nice and explained and apologized for the confusion of the business hours (I totally understand)....and she booked me for the next day. So today I had a wonderful

I've never given a review before, so this is my first. I live local and always shop at the Walgreens next door. I was driving out of the parking lot when I looked at the shop and decided to try it. Many things in my life are going bad, but the treatment I received here was top quality. The girls are nice, the music is wonderful, and it helped to clear my mind. I love this place. I plan to be a weekly visitor. :)

I can highly recommend the body temple to everyone who needs a relaxing yet professional massage. I get a lot aches and pains in my neck, back, and hips. I felt the therapist actually had the knowledge and skill to relieve painful symptoms. The facility is super clean and soothing the minute you walk in.
This is my regular go to wellness center even though there are many other places much closer to home.

Just moved to Long Beach about 3 months ago I was looking for a local spot to get my monthly massage fixed. I was literally fixed today by Nakia who is a truly gifted healer. Do yourself a favor and come to this Wellness Center. Nakia has so much knowledge about the body and about Wellness. You will not regret it.
