Kelly is terrific — best massage therapist I’ve ever personally had. If you have an area causing discomfort or pain, Kelly will make it a lot better. She will even find muscular knots you weren’t aware of, and eliminate the knots. Kelly is a true therapist who always knows what ‘s best for your body, and she works consistently and thoroughly to improve your physical being.
Always a great experience. Best employees hands down!
I have enjoyed many massages from Ka Lani’s group of talented therapists. They are all so good! I would feel comfortable recommending any of them. My most recent massage was with Bill. He was excellent. I had hurt my back playing pickleball and my right arm was very sore from that and painting. He listened to my issues and addressed them all. He is excellent at listening and at doing his job. I left feeling so much better and rebooked with him. Excellent technique, great pressure and Bill brought me great relief from aches and pains. Awesome.
So glad they are open again... my back thanks them!
I was only able to get a 15-minute massage since they just reopen on June 1st because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but chair massage that i have had. Skylar is a great massage therapist.
Ka Lani Massage is a heaven-sent!

Great massage from Tiffany!
Great massage!
I really appreciate Ka Lani Massage. The owner, Kelly, is also a massage therapist and I believe in the value of that. She knows how/whom to hire and keep her staff happy. Ka Lani is also a peaceful escape. Kelly has thoughtfully designed the space. Today, I found a mini heater near where clients get dressed/undressed. Very nice! My therapist today was Sara and she’s new to me. She was fantastic. I left very relaxed and happy. I’m so pleased with the quality of massage I receive at Ka Lani. I highly recommend.
Kelly’s CBD massage is incredible! I love the blend they have created using their own massage oil and CBD from Maine. The quality is exceptional and truly makes the massage a blissful, healing experience. I wish there were more stars!
Great message.
Again I am not disappointed. Ka' lani has the best massage therapists around! Try them out!
I am pleased to have chosen Jesse for a much needed deep tissue massage today. The front desk employees were pleasant and welcoming.
Book with Nancy!
Great salon! Very educated folks that have lots of solutions available to help your personal situation.
My prenatal massage was nice and relaxing
Best healing massage in area. More than a massage. Kelly the owner is really special.
Love this place
Awesome massage!!!
Walk into an oasis - Ka Lani offers your own little spot of nirvana! The atmosphere of the entire salon is calming and inviting. The therapists are warm and welcoming as well as professional. I have been a client of Stephanie for over a year and she has helped my chronic knee pain better than post surgery PT. Highly recommend for physical as well as psychological well-being.
Best massage in the Seacoast!!
I live Ka Lani Massage. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing. Today I had a massage with Emma. She is wonderful! Great deep pressure technique and very skilled at massage. I felt much better after the massage. Kelly, the owner, is alss as I an experienced massage therapist, which makes this a special place. She knows what clients want and hires a great staff.
Staff was great. Very clean environment. Couples massage was just what my boyfriend and I needed. Will go back!
Nancy is a great pick for a massage! She really digs in and gets the knots out and a great soothing massage too!
Want to feel good, Ka lani will help you achieve that goal. Professional & amazing!!
Great deep tissue massage for my neck and shoulders. Going back next week
Amazing massage! I left feeling like a whole new women!

Great place and love their rewards!
The best massage
Really great. Have had multiple massages and everybody excellent. Today had a Thai massage totally different but beneficial for motion and stretching.
Had a great massage by Kelly today. She listened to my description of an injury I had this summer and worked to help alleviate some of my residual pain. I left Ka lani feeling better then when I went in!
Amazing!! One of the best massages I’ve had!
Always a lovely experience at Ka Lani!
I loved my experience!
Ka Lani is a great place for a massage, whether it is for relaxation, to de stress or for muscle pain and injury. Today I saw Jesse. He did a great job at listening to what was bothering me and then he addressed those issues. He is knowledgeable and knows how to target the muscles that need help. I left feeling much better.

Nancy did great work on my neck and shoulder

My husband and I came in for a couples massage and it was awesome!! The massage therapists we're very nice and listened to where our problem areas were. The room was very relaxing and quiet. The music playing was perfect! We both agreed we felt brand new after we left. We will both be back to visit!
Stephanie was amazing! I came in just to relax and she found knots and tension in my shoulders that I didn't even realize was there. I scheduled my next visit before leaving!
Kelsey was outstanding. Yet again, I’m super happy with my experience
Love is a massage at KaLani !
After several body part surgeries today I was enthralled to finally finally go back to KaLani for a restoration massage with Kelly!!!
Always so happy after leaving Ka Lani! Alex is wonderful!
My husband and I Just had a couples massage with Lisa and Jesse and boy were we pleased! Jesse did a prenatal massage on myself and he was very knowledgeable about what I needed and what to avoid. I’ve had a deep tissue massage with him before in the past and I must say I’m so impressed with his array of skills! My husband had Lisa and she was amazing. It was his first full body massage and he left so relaxed and was so impressed! Would highly recommend and can’t wait for our next massage!
Lisa is the best. Highly recommended!
Was a great experience
Jesse was awesome. He got knots out I didn’t even know where there!
Fantastic!
Great place. They have a window in the room that is a moving scene with sound of a beach!
First massage I’ve gotten and I had an amazing experience. Very professional and worth every dollar. The first time price is a nice perk if you haven’t gotten one before.
Stephanie is fantastic! Ka lani iffers the best atmosphere and staff I have ever experienced. The total massage euphoria!

Best place ever! I can’t say enough about this place cause it’s simply amazing, I will continue to go and tell everyone I know. Thank you Ka lani
Great experience! Jesse precisely targeted my tight and painful shoulder and back muscles in a professional & attuned way. Massage feels great in itself, and the continued benefits for days/weeks afterward are a real bonus.
Kelsey is great for a deep tissue massage!
Kelsey Is great for deep tissue massage!
Definitely recommend!
Cant say enough good things about Ka Lani...I love their points system. I recently got a free 30 min upgrade and free aroma therepy. Just 5 more points and I get a free 90 minute massadge! I also love Nancy. She is thoughtful and helpful when it comes to your body and its mechanics.
Professional and effective!
Very relaxing experience!
Such a peaceful place!!
Kelly is fantastic!
Skylar was amazing! Great flow and pressure, very talented therapist can’t wait to see her again soon. She really helped release my anterior neck muscles!
Incredibly relaxing and great ambiance.
Just had the most incredible massage with Nancy! I couldn’t recommend her more.
Fantastic place! I have seen three for four different massage therapists and they are all great. Using the prepaid service, I have a monthly visit that I was able to schedule just before my regular Chiropractor visit. I am looking forward to my monthly visits with Kelsey that are scheduled out for all of 2019.
Great options of styles for massage therapy, accommodating hours!
Absolutely love Ka Lani!! Greg is awesome!
Not going to reveal therapist, don’t want him/her so booked I can’t get an appointment but this person did for me what PT did not..enough do my Pain Medicine doctor recommended weekly 30 minute targeted massages and it has been nothing short of miraculous-wish I could afford to go 2-3 times a week instead of 1. Service impeccable and super friendly, you feel listened to. I haven’t done other than therapeutic targeted massage but look forward to other types of massage as pain diminishes. Highly recommended!!
My massage with Skylee was spectacular! She has a gift, My back felt so much better after my massage. She even took the time to go over stretches and her recommendation to ice then heat worked like a charm.
Love Ka lani! Every therapist that has treated me has been awesome! Highly recommend
Heavenly
Nancy is awesome 👍
Kristy is amazing! She listened to me & worked on my areas of concern for that day and I left feeling fabulous!!

The rooms are gorgeous, very relaxing atmosphere. I left so relaxed and my muscle aches were gone. Go to Ka Lani, you will love it!

Kelly was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!
I started going here a couple of months ago and I would highly recommend them! Clean facility, awesome staff and great service!
I love Ka lani Massage! I found them about 9 months ago, and highly recommend them. Kelly is amazing, and truly cares about her customers.
Recently I strained my back. Audra provided expert relief with her excellent massage. She listened to what I needed and provided pain relief. I look to Ka Lani for their expert care. I love the ambience. Kayla at the front desk is helpful, cheerful and professional. I always feel welcome at Ka Lani. I am grateful to Kelly and her fantastic staff. Truly a unique experience. Kelly has thought of everything to enhance your experience. So pleasant and relaxing.
Recently, I strained my back. I got expert relief from Audra. She listened to what I needed and reslly
Always a pleasure. Staff is friendly and the music and ambiance is lovely.
I love you guys so much I'm giving 5 stars, my only suggestion would be to please turn up the heat. I had goosebumps it was so cold in the room, I had to ask for the heat turned up and another blanket. Other than that it's always perfect!
Best massage ever!
I have tried many massage therapists in the seacoast area and I will be sticking with you folks! Great atmosphere and fantastic practice.
Very Grateful for the professional care provided by my KaLani massage therapist- she heals my pain from injury and enables me to get back out there and exercise! Thank you!!
Ka Lani massage was amazing , staff friendly! Thank you!

Amazing Massage by Kelly!
Had one of the best massages ever today!! Beautiful clean space and great customer service! Nice job guys, the area needed you
Just had an hour hot stone/deep tissue massage and feeling zenful. The decor allows the relaxation to begin as soon as you enter and the staff check in with you periodically to ensure you are having a comfortable and pleasurable experience. Have had several massages by a different masseuse equally capable of providing a quality experience. Would highly recommend to anyone needing to relief from tightness or stress.
Absolutely the place massage I’ve had
Love Ka lani! Kelly is awesome, and I'm usually faithful to her. My most recent visit, I saw Caroline, and am just as happy! Facilities are beautiful and everyone there is do friendly and welcoming. I would recommend everyone at least try Ka lani - you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful place to go... Would recommend to anyone!
Glorious not only relaxing but trigger points released. Kelly is beyond amazing
Wow! 5 stars. Katelyn W is amazing, she worked out my calves and gave me instant relief from something that was bothering me for weeks!
