Cariño, Spanish for 'extreme care', aptly describes the level of attention Johnny Ray and the Cariño Massage staff devote to improving your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Johnny Ray Nelson, with more than 20 years of experience in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, developed the "Cariño Massage", which combines aspects of diverse massage styles, Integrated Breathing, and ancient Central American healing traditions.
During the signature Cariño Massage, muscle tension is relieved using fluid movements, varied pressure levels, and yoga-like breathing techniques. The benefits of the Cariño Massage include improved concentration, increased energy, and lower blood pressure.
"We went during spa week and LOVED it. It really is a very unique technique that is worth a try. It's in a building, so you wouldn't think this tiny spa area exists. They really take care of you there. I felt like it was more about healing and relaxing than hurting me to get the knots out. Gentle." - Jackie D., Glendale, CA
"Johnny's hands are pure GOLD! I was scared that it might be a little rough but he was soooo smooth and gentle. His movements are so fluid and the hot oil/lotion seems to just magically ooze out of his fingers. The hour seemed to last forever especially since he places emphasis on breathing. I felt SOO relaxed and mind was so clear that I can't even describe it." - Jessica Y., Los Angeles, CA
"The new place is cozier and more intimate than before and is probably an easier neighborhood for parking. I'm seriously thinking about buying a yearly package... Enjoy!" - Leigha S., West Hollywood, CA
