Yoso Wellness Spa

Our community is being hit again by another atmospheric river causing so much damage to Santa Cruz and Monterey.

Right now with the storm and the stress I send calming and healing thoughts to everyone effected and even those simply feeling the weight of the impacts of the storm.

If you can help support those effected there are many ways to do so, including donations to to help those impacted by the storm.

Sending love and stay safe thoughts to everyone. 💗

Love truly has the power to change things.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a man with a vision for a future America rooted in justice and equality.

Everyday we remember and thank the movement, the change and step forward this remarkable man created and today we especially honor him in all that he did and all that has continued to live on and evolve because he had a dream!

When applying your daily makeup we want to help your skin, not hurt it.

Which is why we offer the skincare makeup.

With clean ingredients to heal and support the skin while adding a little pop of color it’s a win win!

The big 21!!! Happy birthday to Constance our resident smile maker at reception!! when you see her, make sure to wish her extra big happy birthdays!

We so appreciate you Constance and hope year 21 is absolutely incredible!!

What’s so incredible about "adaptogens" is that they can assist in repairing TOTAL body healing. They are immune tonics, yet they also assist the mind and body where the healing needs to take place.

This mystical component to adaptogens is being studied to this day.

As they orient their nutrient dense chemistry in the parts of the body that have excessive stress and imbalance, they can assist the body in achieving healing and longevity. Adaptogens can restore the mind and body from stress, illness, deficiency and overall imbalance. -

Definitely loading up on the adaptogenic herbs with collagen support right now to support my whole body for complete care from skin to soul.

Have you ever experienced adaptogenic herbs? We love this one from Anima
Mundi with heirloom cacao!

Plus these foggy mornings make me want to cozy up with a warm adaptogenic latte!

We are here as a respite for you amongst the heavy emotions. The news of Roe vs Wade being overturned is heartbreaking; we are left sad, confused, frustrated & feeling grief.

I’m tired of everyone else having rights to my body, to women’s bodies. A woman’s body is her body and deserves reproductive freedom without someone else taking the right to choose away.

There are many big feelings right now, if you are feeling them too, you are not alone.

Now what? Today we grieve, tomorrow we stand up and fight for our rights. This effects the women of today and the future generations and we need to take action, even when it feels like we can’t do much. We need to channel our frustration and get involved in organizations that stand for women. A few are tagged below.










We recognize everyone has a right to their feelings, opinions and beliefs, but no one has a right to make the choice for someone else’s body and healthcare.

Rippling lots of love out today. 💓

5 Reasons you deserve the benefit of massage. Physical, emotional and mental tension can be on a high sometimes for a variety of life reasons, and what we know is human connection and touch can do wonders to reduce stress.

Massage nurtures health and your wellbeing and we want to share how.

1. Boosts your immune system - through massage your white blood cell count is increased resulting in increased results to fight of illness and disease. 🌱

2. Anxiety and stress decreased - lowering the stress hormone cortisol and increasing the feel good dopamine and serotonin into our bodies. 🌱

3. Reduces inflammation - we are talking sore muscles to chronic illness. Inflammation is the root of a lot of conditions in our body and massage can help suppress the pathways to inflammation by reducing cytokines. 🌱

4. Gets your skin glowing - with that stimulation you get some nice circulation and blood flow allowing the body to produce its own oxygen. This is a good time to hydrate and moisturize. 🌱

5. Sleep - increasing serotonin levels will help your body relax, alleviate depression and get a sweet restful sleep for some quality body repair. 🌱

6. BONUS - Adding CBD in with the massage can provide additional anti-inflammatory support and stress reduction, relaxing and releasing the body and mind.

More then ever we are honored to offer a space you can feel whole from skin to soul as your experience true care, so you can be your best self. We look forward to supporting your body and system as it finds its way back to balance. 🧡

246 years of definitive slavery. 157 years of supposed freedom. 1 year of recognized celebration.

On Juneteenth we take the time to reflect on how far our world, our country, has come since the emancipation of slavery. While also understanding the breadth and depth of the work ahead to make a lasting and truly impactful change.

Share below in the comments black owned businesses that you love to support.

As allies, it's important for us to understand the significance of Juneteenth and why it's important today. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was on January 1st, 1863, it took a long time to travel down to the south, especially to Texas. It wasn’t until June 19th, 1865 that thousands of Slaves were made aware they were free. Over two months after the end of the Civil War and 2.5 years after they were legally free. ⁠
⁠
This holiday is a day to celebrate, but also a reflection of the delays in freedom to Black people in the United States. Progress has been made, but the fight is still not over. ⁠
⁠
How are you honoring this historic day through love, activism and collaboration?

✨Be free to be you. The rest will follow. ✨💗

Let’s keep flowing through this week together.

Whether you are feeling like you have to just make it to Wednesday and over the midweek hump or like you are flowing high with productivity and about to fly down the rainbow into the weekend ahead, a great way to both reset and keep the momentum high is to do the following:

Close your eyes. Inhale in for 6 seconds. Hold for 6 seconds. Release for 6 seconds. Repeat this 3-6 times.

What’s something you are looking forward to the rest of this week? Let us know below 👇🏼

We are positively overwhelmed by our clients continuing to support us through the waves of covid variants and spikes that come.

Some months we are doing great and some months we step back and go, whew, that month was a really rough one.

It does seem as if for the most part covid is nearly over and why are we still talking about it, but for all the small businesses out there, we still feel the impacts in a range of forms and it is still very much present in the effects on business. Think of it like a bunch of mini aftershocks from the initial earthquake.

So on behalf of many small businesses who still feel the punch of covid, I thank everyone that keeps supporting, sharing and believing in what we all do.

I tagged just a few of our favorite local small biz with awesome owners, if you don’t know them, go check them out! (There are so many more, I just maxed my tagging. Lol)

Big big love to all 💗💓💗

Thriving Thursday 🌱. What ways are you taking time to nurture yourself and thrive?

My “go too” lately has been slowing down by laying under the LED panel at the spa and placing crystals on my chakras while the panel is on. Then doing gua sha on myself at home while soaking in a bath with my C B D Bath Soak.

Let me know your ways to nurture and thrive below! 👇🏼

✨Time to celebrate! June 11th, who wants to get fancy with me! I feel like I could personally explode like the brightest confetti 🎉 you’ve ever seen. Imagine that feeling when people do their baby gender reveal and then BAM they pop the popper with the color and feel like they are on cloud #892.

Who’s as excited as I am!?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

To all the women who give love, support, guidance as a mama figure, whether you are a mom physically or in your heart.

Your light shines bright, your light has had moments of being dim. You have yelled and you have laughed. You have been brave and you have felt fear.

You dream to be a mom, you have lost or you have gained. You are a mom who has had one or more children. You are a bonus mom. You are a mom who has lost a child. You are a foster mom or a mom that adopted. You are a single mom, you are a mom with a partner and a team. A mom in a strained relationship or a mom working to rebuild.

You are doing the best you can. You are incredible. You are special. We celebrate you. We see you. We acknowledge you.

We hope today you get a moment that feels extra special just for you for self care in whatever form that means to you.

Happy Mother’s Day from me to you! 💐💜💐

Post workday bliss. It’s so fun to work in an environment with so much vibrancy, positive energy and connection within our team. Is it even called work at that point.
