Looking for a Santa Barbara Massage Therapist Who Works on Posture? Meet Penelope

Where Can I Get the Best Massage in Santa Barbara?

Whether you're coming from Montecito, Goleta, Carpinteria, Summerland or any of our other neighboring towns, we welcome you to experience the best massage the Santa Barbara area has to offer at Le Rêve Organic Spa & Boutique.

Meet Le Rêve Massage Therapist Penelope

Penelope is one of our most knowledgeable providers. She offers many modalities, including deep tissue, craniosacral, reflexology, Swedish and stone massage, and she's truly gifted at every one of them. What sets her apart is her focus on structural bodywork.

Structural Bodywork Massage Therapy

If your shoulders have been creeping up toward your ears for months, a relaxation massage feels wonderful for a day and then the tightness comes right back. Structural bodywork looks at why it keeps coming back, and it's what Penelope has been studying since 1984.

Penelope's Massage Therapy Experience

Penelope was sixteen when she watched a traditional healer from Burkina Faso give a demonstration of structural bodywork. She's been learning ever since, from teachers like Jack Painter and Mary Bond, and through years of movement therapy, meditation and herbal study. She's also a distance runner and endurance cyclist, so she knows exactly where long miles settle into hips and hamstrings.

Why We Love Working with Penelope at Le Rêve

I love knowing that our guests are in the best hands. No matter what treatment a guest requests or what their body needs, I know Penelope will take care of them. She puts every spare moment toward healing. She's a natural healer, and I'm beyond grateful to work beside her.

I also find her to be one of the most inspiring women I know. Along with all of her gifts in massage therapy, she's a dedicated and loving mom of two. I've watched her juggle everything that comes with being a working parent with an ease I've rarely seen. I feel blessed as a working mom in many ways, and working beside someone I can look up to is one of them.

"My favorite thing about working with Penelope is doing couples massages together at Le Rêve. I love the way she speaks with our guests, I love how knowledgeable she is, and I love her giant heart."
– Laura, Le Rêve massage therapist

Where can I get my brows waxed in Santa Barbara?

Right here. At Le Reve Organic Spa and Boutique on West Gutierrez Street, our estheticians shape brows around your face, not a trend. Maybe you just need a quick clean-up between appointments, or you're growing out years of over-plucking and want a real reshape. Either way, we talk it through before any wax goes on, so you leave with brows that look like yours, only better.

Brows shaped by estheticians who read faces for a living

Brows aren't one size fits all. Hair grows in different directions, arches sit at different heights, and the shape that flatters a round face can look harsh on a narrow one. Our licensed estheticians look at your bone structure, your natural growth pattern, and how much fullness you want to keep before they map out a shape. Then they check in as they go. You'll never sit up to a surprise in the mirror.

Why we start and finish every wax with chamomile

Freshly waxed skin is open skin. The follicles are exposed for a few hours afterward, and that's when bumps, redness and breakouts get their chance. So every wax service at Le Reve begins and ends with Eminence Soothing Chamomile Tonique. We use it first to clear away oil and makeup so the wax grips the hair cleanly, and again at the end to calm the skin and keep the area clean while it settles. Clients with sensitive skin notice the difference most: less pink, less sting, no little red bumps the next morning.

It's organic, it smells lovely, and it works just as well at home. A few swipes after tweezing strays between visits keeps things calm.

Brow waxing questions we hear a lot

How long does a brow wax last?

Most clients come back every three to five weeks. Waxing pulls hair from the root, so regrowth is slower and softer than it is after tweezing or shaving.

How long should I grow my brows out before a wax?

Give it about two weeks without tweezing if you can. Wax needs a little length to grab, and more hair gives your esthetician more to work with when shaping.

Can I get my brows waxed if I use retinol?

Tell your esthetician first. Retinoids and some acne medications thin the skin and can make waxing unsafe. Most people should stop topical retinol for about a week beforehand, and anyone on oral isotretinoin should skip waxing altogether until their doctor says otherwise.

Where is Le Reve located?
