The therapist Ai is a professional body worker with twenty years of experiences, very spiritual intuitive person and big heart. I experienced her aroma massage, felt her big love from her warm hands, felt safe and relieved, rejuvenated at the end. She took time for consultation, she blended aroma essential oils into massage cream personalized for client’s body and spirit needs, she used it for the session and gave me the rest. I felt body lighter after few days, definitely positive effect. I keep seeing her. Highly recommended professional therapist.

I had the pleasure of experiencing an amazing massage from Ai today. Not only is she a uniquely talented massage therapist but her energy is like no others’ you’ll find. She creates an extremely comfortable environment and is mindful throughout the entire treatment. She radiates care and peacefulness and I am so thankful for the service I received today.

Ai provides the BEST Massage Therapy I have ever had.

She is very friendly, attentive, and intuitive. As soon as I stepped into her salon, I felt really comfortable with her warm and welcoming presence.

She listens very well what I am looking for and she uses her knowledge and intuition to pick the perfect essential oils and blends them very well for the right massage lotion for me.

Her healing touch and intuitive technique are the framework for a truly therapeutic experience. I felt like her hands are always on my body the entire time. I am amazed by her strength, skill, and care.

I also LOVE the hot towels at the end. Very soothing and relaxing.

After the session, I felt my body is so light like I am walking on cloud!

In addition, she handed me a cute container with the left over personalized massage lotion from the session to take home with me!!

I truly believe, she has one of the best healing hands in the industry. I ABSOLUTELY recommend Ai to all my friends and family!!

Ai, as the name means, is full of love. And you can tell from the initial call to make reservations how she makes the whole experience a relaxing one.
She is caring and listens to your needs very sincerely to make the massage experience custom to your needs. That’s why I am coming back to her because you’ll remember how you feel better after the service!
And OMG! Her service doesn’t stop there!
She blends the massage oil to meet your needs and gives extra cream to take care your body at home! The real essential oil infused cream (no fake one), so you can trust how much care she gives.
And (yes, and!) she gave me a hand-made natural soap (silk!!!) that she makes as a gift (maybe for first timer only?)
Just love the soap package, too.

Rewarding myself with an aromatherapy facial treatment by Ai Tauber. Luxurious rose essencial oil was blended with Ai's love and care. It's so easy to get lost in busy life, and it was good to see my dull and tired skin rejuvenated and come to life.

After every session, Ai provides the cream blended with the essencial oil she used during treatment to take home with. I love this extra touch.

Ai is also an experienced massage therapist who is in tuned with a client's physical condition. She is my go-to massage therapist who would restore my body after challenging runs.

BTW, her new location is only a few blocks away from my favorate Windandsea beach.

I got a massage from Ai and it was great. She has the touch. I got a custom aromatherapy rejuvenation cream and essential oil - it’s fun to talk to her about the options. She is in La Jolla Sundays and Bankers Hill other days.

I LOVED my experience with Ai-san! Her energy is so comforting. I enjoyed how the service started the minute I entered the room and did not end after hopping off the table. I received the Rose of Rejuvenating package and the treatment was in fact rejuvenating (I walked away feeling sooooo relaxed and lighter). I highly recommend booking a session with her.

Just had a wonderful experience with Ai. She was absolutely incredible; very experienced, professional, and most importantly, caring. She knew what I needed right away from a short conversation we had, prepared perfect blend of essential oils. With her right amount of pressure, scent of essential oils, and great conversation we had, I walked out from the room with much more positive energy she had put on me throughout the session! The location, only 2-3 mins walk from beautiful ocean scenery and yet easy-to-find parking space on the streets nearby is a huge plus around La Jolla area. Loved it!
p.s. I am a big fan of her Love Bar Soaps. Each and every one of them is made of organic, unique ingredients, no chemical, no fragrance. They are so gentle on skin, and I cannot go back to normal soaps any more!
