Touch Me

Touch Massage Spa

Ever try to give yourself a massage? It’s just not the same. The truth is, like many things, it’s better if someone else does it for you.

If only it weren’t such a strain on the budget.

Take a walk (okay, drive) down Robertson to Touch, where a mere $52 gets you an hour-long massage. Choose from Swedish, prenatal, sports, reflexology, or aromatherapy. Munch on granola or banana bread from Isabella’s Cookie Company and sip cucumber water while you wait. Having a rough day? Co-owners Rose Ferraro and Jennifer Gendron offer complimentary glasses of wine. Need a little puppy love? Margie, the sweetest Boston terrier around, is happy to oblige. Touch is open until 9 p.m., so you can drop by (walk-ins welcome) after a hard day’s work.

Finally. Relief. Without having to massage your budget.

Or yourself.

Touch, 317 South Robertson Boulevard, between Wilshire and Olympic Boulevards (310-659-8559).
