I had requested an appointment online and hadn't heard anything in response, so I called to book a couples massage. The massage includes smoothie or champagne and what sounded like a patio with a view of sailboats going by on the ocean or harbor. Over the phone, when I booked the appointment, I gave someone my card number to book. She said she would text with confirmation right after. I didn't receive a text for a while, so I texted instead and asked for clarification on the price and for confirmation of our appointment. She kindly replied and said I would "for sure" have the pre paid price, which was $298 total vs. the regular price at $262 ea. Great!We arrived on our appointment day, a little bit early, and called for the free parking only to find out that our appointment was somehow down for the following day. I was very disappointed as this was an anniversary gift. She said, " I never do this because my prices are already so good, but I will give you 50% off next time you come in." Which is a nice gesture, but the wording didn't feel great.She also texted me later and said, "Nothing was pre paid," suggesting that we can't receive the 50% off she just offered. Even though I gave somebody my card over the phone. I sent her screenshots and then she decided to tell me that the card didn't go through, but why wouldn't you tell me that at the time of booking, a week ago when I gave the card number.Originally, the situation was disappointing because of scheduling errors, and then it just got worse.And driving around the building, the patio didn't look special, and it would be an obstructed view of the ocean anyways, so ultimately, I'm glad it didn't work out here.*Now she wants to respond and place blame on me. There was no phone call, if my card did not go through why didn't you tell me that in the text when I texted first for confirmation? Why not leave a voicemail. You're lying, and attempting to invalidate this appropriate review. Stop.

Sandy West has surrounded herself at Creative Shakra Spa with talented professional Massage Therapists with similar values to her own. Kindness, consideration, compassion, strength, stamina, expertise and agility, intuitively guided by G-d in s spiritual revelation beyond compare. My spirits soar upon entering Creative Shakra Spa and feel restored and revitalized, nourished and nurtured with healing energy and appreciate each session custom designed with specific details to address each need getting the very necessary feedback from me about how the pressure feels, whether to go deeper and I am grateful each therapist at Creative Shakra is competent, strong, healthy and compassionate, non-discriminatory, observing non-judgmentally yet with an expert way of observing the issue at hand and expert knowledge of addressing each problem achieving desired results erasing pain and providing relief. Hands down, Creating Shakra to the best Spa to go to. The place is kept immaculately clean under the most pristine hygienic of practices, well sanitized and bedding laundered constantly.

Hot stones, seaweed wraps, Swedish, reflexology, deep tissue, and many more techniques, with a method for every condition, including couples massage and pregnancy massage!

Please please please do people a favor and continue to add more pictures! I can't wait to see it. But please make sure it is ACTUAL pictures of what you have going on up there. You are one delusional person who obviously doesn't see things for what they are. We left in complete shock and I'll do my absolute best to make sure your "family" circus gets shut down and no more people are scammed like we were. Just received a message from a woman who went through the same thing as we did and she is definitely gonna help me put an end to it.

We had a very relaxing afternoon with Sandie and her team at Creative Chakra Spa. They were kind, attentive, and skilled in their craft. The coconut body scrub was completely worth it, and we spent time in the sauna afterwards. Thank you!

I've had hundreds of massage from the inexpensive $50/hr Thai. to the Burke Williams $129 spas to the ultra luxuries Sedona spas for $250. I tried CCSpa with my gf and the the arrival in the sad apartment building, through the narrow dark hallways, to arriving in this make shift pseudo Venice peace love vibe, to having to wait 20 minutes to the other therapist showing up, to the quart of oil thy must have poured onto me, to the average massage, where the pressure was too little although I was distracted by the oil in my head, hair to them standing around at the end and then practically demanding my email address, to then having to pay $335 for two one hour massages to running home and taking the longest shower to get the oil off of me it was simply - awful. Awful - ordinary - bizarre people - and very expensive... What a burn.

Don't believe in the adds! This place is ghetto.... The room that says in the website is a literally portable canopy. Don't dare go to this place. Whatever says on the adds is a lie, very deceiving!

I really wish I would have stumbled upon some of these reviews prior to booking this supposedly Magical Experience. OMG!!!!! Seriously don't be fooled by their website or any photos or services mentioned. My Anniversary day with my husband was completely ruined because of our experience here. Awful!!!! Not to mention that we drove an hour to get to this supposedly magical place on the beach. No private room. Completely out in the open in a condominium area. The place was overlooked by the neighbors above with no privacy. The so called calming massage had an ongoing vacuum running in the background probably from the neighbors window next door. Sheets smelled and were old. They had a cat freely wondering around. Don't get me wrong I love animals, but was not expecting to have cat over my head or my massage table. Not what I signed up for. The bathroom OMG!!!!!!!! Dirty dirty dirty. My husband was completely disgusted when he walked in although it was some what cleaned up by the time I went in to shower. Total AWFUL experience. We didn't even risk trying the food they had to offer or using the small outdoor tub they had set up as a jacuzzi. All we could think of was just run after the massage was over. Then she asked us what we were going to pay since we had signed up for the fireside (not fireside at all), just a small gas fire pit they had set up. We told her we had seen the offer on the website for $325 and she said I had to show her something because she's not the one who updated the website. WHAT??????? Place definitely didn't seem as though they have different departments handling these things for them. Then she had the audacity to ask for 20% gratuity for each massage. Everyone BEWARE!!!! I don't even know how they continue to operate like this!!

Had a really fabulous massage from Julie (great name! ;)) today! She really listened and focused on the areas I mentioned with just the right amount of pressure. Chef's kiss! The website made the booking process easy, you just request your three top times and dates, and then Sandie the owner will send you an email confirming, or I assume offering alternatives if none of the ones are available, but I was able to book late last night for an afternoon appointment today which was so awesome. As far as the ambience, you definitely feel like you are in someone's home, not necessarily a world-class spa, but that's what I was expecting from the pics; it was homey and very relaxing. A little urban oasis. I loved being able to have an outdoor cabana massage. I'm not 100% sure but it seems like that's the only space they offer which was perfect for me especially in these pandemic times. You do here some street noise and random neighbor/crow sounds haha, but that's because you are in a residential neighborhood in Marina del Rey - so none of that bothered me. The soft music helps drown it out too. Will definitely be back! Thank you Julie & Sandie.

It was dirty and completely overpriced. Worst spa I've ever been to. We did the Champagne Sunset Couples Massage for $262.50 each. The massage was supposed to be followed by a dinner -- which was basically a piece of lettuce, followed by "a grand finale of watching sailboats go by on our ocean view patio or by the fire." -- but there's no fire and you absolutely cannot see the ocean from the patio. When asking about this, we were told to go to the beach instead to watch the sunset.

We did a spa party for 3 of us and Cindy did an amazing job accommodating us last minute and calling in two great therapists who treated us to a 60 min. Massage, African scalp massage, foot scrub, and sauna time. The therapists were great and really knew which areas to focus on.

We are standing outside CreativeChakra for our 2pm appt and it is now 225pm. We have knocked and called several times but no answer. Our appt was booked, paid, and confirmed several weeks in advance. I hope that Sandie, the owner, comes out any minute with a great big apology and clarification of this so that I could change this to a 5 star review. But so far, standing out in the cold with my wife waiting for her birthday gift. *** UPDATE Sandie eventually called 1.5 hrs later and apologized and gave us a full refund. She was very kind and apologetic and so I feel badly giving 2 stars but I just want people to be aware that we never ended up getting the massage that we scheduled , especially because it took me months to plan a weekday off for this day and we were totally stood up- whether intentional or not.
