Some Testimonials for Gina:
"You make me feel healthy again. Thank you." Brandon Chillar, Green Bay Packers. Professional Football player, Green Bay, WI.
Many avid golfers suffer occasional back strains. Having played the game for 20 years I have had my share of sore muscles after a round of golf. As I get older my flexibility has decreased casing back pain. I am fortunate enough to work in the golf industry and have the responsibility to test new products for the company. When I am having back pain and muscle stiffness it is difficult for me to carry out this part of my job. Over the last five years I have spent thousands of dollars on mattresses trying to eliminate my back pain, with little to no relief. Gina has been working with me for the last three months with massage and stretching techniques. I am now able to sleep pain free and I have a tremendous increase in my range of motion. I have picked up on distance when hitting my golf clubs and I am able to finish a round of golf without stiffness. Once skeptical, I am now a believer in the benefits of Massage Therapy. Sean H., Golf Industry Executive, Carlsbad, CA
Thank you for the most amazing massage that I have ever had! Your knowledge, technique and desire to heal a body are so appreciated. I have had many massages but none before yours that actually targeted problem areas and resulted in less everyday pain and more freedom of movement. Not only do I come away knowing that my lumps and bumps are quickly disappearing, which is also lessening the pain but I am also relaxed, refreshed and more energetic on a daily basis. Thank you again, Gretchen R, Security Agent, San Marcos, CA
Some Testimonials for Doug:
“I'm a 5-time Ironwoman Finisher and I put in a lot of training time. Massage is essential for athletes and Doug gives 110% effort every massage with his deep tissue and sports strokes. I go to help stay injury free and I look forward to every session. I'd recommend him to any athlete or weekend warrior."
Nanami J., Encinitas, CA
"When I met Doug, I had so many aches and pains I didn't know where to turn. He started with my posture and explained every step of the way what he was looking for and what it meant. He's so knowledgeable and has such a common sense approach that I was immediately at ease. My constant pain is gone and I'm sleeping well for the first time in years. He's a true professional.”
Vicki P., Realtor, San Diego, CA
"I just ran my second marathon and qualified for the 2008 Boston Marathon. Doug has been an invaluable part of my training. The scar tissue build up from past injuries that sometimes plagued me during training were the areas Doug focused on during my massages. And I can honestly say that throughout the actual race, these previously injured areas were pain and injury free! As a runner himself, Doug understands that ‘not running’ is not an option. I’ll definitely be in before Boston! Thanks Doug!"
Shelley D., Programmer/Analyst, Carlsbad, California
“I am a true believer in the health benefits of massage. I have been getting messages for the past 40 plus years and have found some great message therapists over those years. When I bought a timeshare in Carlsbad, in April 1995, I knew I needed to find a local therapist for my visits there. I am a bicyclist and after riding fifty to one hundred miles I needed my massage. After awhile I met Doug and the rest is history. Whenever I am in town I get in to see Doug as much as his schedule allows. One thing that anyone who has been putting off get their first massage needs to know that the therapists at “Massage Carlsbad” will listen to you and make this and every massage that follows a healthy and enjoyable experience. If you have a problem area they can work with you in making it better and you feeling better, so what are you waiting for? Not only will you be healthier you will make a great friend”.
Chuck Alexander, Cyclist, Redlands, California
Some Testimonials for Maria Elena:

From her very relaxing voice to her detailed room preparation you will be treated to a very warm nurturing atmosphere, including aromatic candles and soothing music. Maria Elena is skilled in many types of massage and from your first experience you can hardly wait to see her again. Warm wishes and great massages await you!

“All I could say was "Wow!" Maria (Elena) gave me a massage that was beyond relaxing, it was completely rejuvenating. A lot of people that give massages just go through the motions, but she really was in touch with my body and seemed to intuitively know how to work it. She's awesome.” - Mike T., Broker, San Marcos, CA
More Testimonials:
"Doug always makes me feel like an important client because he takes the time to DISCUSS how I feel before and after each session. He pays attention to what I need and how I feel. His personable approach to massage therapy is what makes the difference."
Dee M., Aspiring Artist, Carlsbad, CA
When I was 13 months old, I contracted Polio. I always walked with pain in my leg and in my low back. My boss recommended I make an appointment with Doug. With the help of his massages, he changed my life. He’s talented, extremely careful, respectful, and at the same time, I’m in heaven. It not only feels great, but now I can walk like a normal person. I am grateful to Doug for a miracle in my life. Thank you.
Rocio P., caregiver, Carlsbad, CA

The best of the best! - Dec 1, 2008(via e-mail)
Doug,Thanks for fixing me up. The golf tourney went great. Even playing 18 (holes), I still have no pain, and a much freer swing. Have you got anything to lower my score now? I'll see you soon."

"Dear Doug, I'm so glad we took your Couples Massage Class last month. Now, instead of going out, we're setting aside time every weekend to give massages to stay close. Great Class!Thanks again,"
Claire (and Jim) B., Carlsbad, CA
"I come to Carlsbad every year from my home in Chicago. Every year we stay at the Carlsbad Inn and eat at the Fish House and I get a massage from Doug O'Connor. It's the most relaxed I am all year long. I feel so good, every year I say I'm going to move out there; maybe someday we will. Then I can get a great massage every week and watch the sunsets every night."
Joe S., engineer, Chicago, IL
“Thanks Doug for one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I was so comfortable with you. I felt like I was in a meditative state, so relaxed, afterward. Since I sit at my computer most of the day, I now know I need to take the time to have a massage on a monthly basis. It makes a huge difference.” Jacqueline M. Web Entrepreneur, Carlsbad, CA

Great People and Great Massages
I have gotten many massages but I will have to say Doug gives the best massages. The pressure is just right and it never hurts or feels like someone is poking you with their elbows. Doug has extensive experience working on work related muscle tension and sports massage therapy. I recommend him highly.
