Had an amazing experience here! What a wonderful spot. The Himalayan salt room is my favorite. Kinda excited for the cold plunge they got coming too. Looking into membership and making this a regular part of my wellness routine. Everyone was so nice too! UPDATE: 2/28/26- I went back for a couples massage with my boyfriend (masseuses were Eva and Peter) and we had SUCH a great experience!! The massage was amazing. They also had a promo for an hour in the healing rooms and omg, I was ecstatic bc I’m convincing him to get a membership so we can go more often, lol. He was so impressed with the spa and relaaaxed, it was an awesome day date and everyone was so friendly. Thank you again, Karma Wellness!

I visit San Diego several times a year. I always make it a point to visit Karma Wellness when I am in town to get an amazing massage. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that on this visit they had recently opened up a new Healing Center upstairs! You can literally spend the entire day here now……to reconnect, rebalance and recover. After checking in, I changed, showered and donned a relaxing spa uniform. You are given a locker to store your belongings. You get an electronic key that goes around your wrist. I chose the recovery/athletic pathway as I had just finished a Power Vinyasa yoga session. There are numerous treatment rooms featured -all with a specific therapeutic effect. My treatment pathway was: Mugwort → Cold → Mineral Clay → Red Light → Forest This was designed to reduce inflammation and support muscle repair. After an hour, I felt like I was on Cloud Nine. I found the staff sooooo kind! You feel the energy the minute you arrive. And, the place is pristine. This included the locker room, showers and the treatment rooms. To my knowledge, there is nothing like this in SD. I can’t wait to come back and try a group class as well.

I tried the Lymphatic massage with Sasa and my partner got hot stone with Peter. Both were incredible and we would go back to either gladly! Kathy at the front desk was super friendly and offered to put us in the same room even though we booked separate massages. Parking spots are tight but convenient. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is they are under construction so there was some noise and could hear people walking upstairs (hopefully this will be a null point soon!)

I went to the wellness space today while on vacation and this place is truly wonderful! It was recently reopened and the owner has done an incredible job with the different spaces she has curated to create a welcoming, grounding, intentional and supportive environment. Thank you, thank you.

Karma Wellness is truly an amazing space! I recently experienced the Healing Rooms, and I can honestly say I haven’t seen any other spa or wellness center offer anything like this. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was transported to a European vacation — the architecture of the rooms beautifully reminds me of somewhere in Italy. The Red Light Room was my absolute favorite, with the Himalayan Salt Room coming in a close second. That said, all six rooms are exquisite in their detail, ambiance, and comfort. Each space feels thoughtfully designed to create a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I also purchased an InBody scan to check my current BMI and better understand where I am in my wellness journey. It was incredibly helpful in giving me insight into what I can focus on to reach my physical goals. I highly recommend Karma Wellness to anyone looking for a unique, elevated wellness experience!

Karma Wellness Spa is such a peaceful and relaxing place. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and welcoming. The staff were incredibly kind, professional, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The service was amazing—everything felt thoughtful and high-quality, and I left feeling refreshed and stress-free. The space is clean, beautifully set up, and truly lives up to the "wellness" in its name. I would definitely recommend Karma Wellness Spa to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and treat themselves. I can’t wait to come back!

Attended for meditation that was so calming. The space is so welcoming and warm! Staff are friendly and share a peaceful energy to welcome you to the space. Tara took me on a tour of the rooms, I look forward to returning to relax in the mugwort and salt rooms!
