I’d been wanting to try a buccal facial massage for years, but never found the right person locally. When I discovered Emberlight Sanctuary on Instagram last summer, I knew I had to book with Brea. She was booked out for months, and after finally getting in last November 2025, I understood why. Brea is incredibly talented, professional, and one of the kindest souls you’ll meet. I’ve now completed my third session and each one has been better than the last. If I could go monthly, I would, but quarterly visits have become my favorite form of self-care. What I love most is how I feel afterward. Every time I leave, I’m inspired to drink more water, eat better, move my body, and take better care of myself. It feels like a reset for both my mind and body. I always walk out feeling refreshed, lifted, and more connected to myself. Brea has created something truly special. She’s absolutely worth the wait.

I can not stress enough how good Brea is with her facial and buccal massages. You will only realize you needed her services once you try it. First of all it’s the best massage for your face and relaxing, second I swear I visibly noticed less laugh lines and it made me look younger! I’m not joking I know my face and i needed that drainage and sculpting. I’m going back to her again next month and refer everyone to go at least once and see for yourself. Worth the time and money. Thank you Brea for being so welcoming and warm to make the experience even better and her sanctuary is like a relaxing wilderness.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but Brea is truly gifted. I’ve had both a buccal facial massage and an exterior facial massage with her, and both experiences were amazing. I’ve never felt so at ease and relaxed, and she worked through so many areas of tension. I feel completely safe and comfortable going to her knowing how highly trained and knowledgeable she is. Highly recommend!

This was my second prenatal massage with Victoria, and it was just as amazing as the first! I leave every session feeling completely relaxed, both physically and mentally. Her calming touch is so soothing that I almost fall asleep every time. It truly is the best 90 minutes of my day. I highly recommend Victoria to any expecting mama looking to relax and unwind!
Cris Cuevas
First time at Emberlight Sanctuary in Lodi, CA which was recommended by a friend. I have been to different sanctuaries, I rate Emberlight 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I booked appointment with Victoria for a Swedish deep tissue massage; from the moment I walked in very welcoming, ambiance, energy, peaceful. Victoria was amazing, she was able to released tension neck/shoulder area, very skilled, hand techniques very powerful to get those deep knots. Thank you so much Victoria, I felt so much better, I strongly recommend Emberlight Sanctuary with Vicotoria. I will definitely be back.
Courtney Orndorf
I had my first ever buccal facial massage by Victoria. It was amazing! 90 minutes of massage focused on arms, shoulders and head! I left feeling lighter and not as tense. Immediately made another appointment with her.
Brandi Barraza
Emberlight Sanctuary is amazing. The esthetic is soft and beautiful and smells amazing. That perfect spa feel without being over done. I had the best massage of my life with Vita. She is personable and the therapeutic massage was exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to schedule again. I cannot express how grateful I am for this experience. Highly recommend.
Monica Cuevas
First time booking with Emberlight Sanctuary. From the moment walking up to the door it’s already a lovely experience. There are beautiful potted plants outside the door , a quiet serene environment inside. I was greeted promptly by Vita. I had the 90 minute Swedish massage. Vita was very kind and knows how to give the most amazing massage. I already booked my next massage with her !
Liz Bassett
I very much look forward to my visits with Brea! I love walking into her peaceful, tranquil sanctuary. She is very knowledgeable with the lymphatic system and takes the time to explain things and how they work. I see Brea for regular buccal facial massages and I can visibly see the difference in my face by the time I leave the building. My face looks more sculpted, the drainage is unreal and continues for days after. I also sleep much better after the facial massages. I highly recommend Brea and her services. She genuinely cares about you and really gives it her all with each treatment she does. She pours her passion into every moment of the massage; her hands are truly magical. She's an absolute treasure.
Liz....! Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you thank you thank you. You are truly an honor to work with, thank you for trusting me! I cherish our appts and and so blessed to have you as a client! Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
John Medina
It was my first time going for a buccal massage and it was great. I had a really relaxing time, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing and the establishment is exceptionally clean. Breanne took great care and attention to walk me through the process and she did an amazing job with the facial massage. I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for this review John! We pride ourselves on the cleanliness, you have no idea how much I appreciate you noticing the cleanliness! Thank you and please let us know anytime you'd like to come in for another massage!
Tonya Weststeyn
Brea @ Emberlight was so kind and welcoming, she did an amazing job at the buccal/facial massage! She is very educated on everything and super informative with all of what she was going to do at my appt. I can’t wait to go back!🫶🏼
Thank you Tonya! Really really appreciate these kind words and feedback <3 Can't wait to see you again in the new year <3
Megi Finnie
I recently had a buccal massage and it was such a unique, relaxing experience. It released so much jaw tension I didn’t realize I was holding and left my face feeling lighter and more sculpted. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who grinds their teeth, holds stress in their jaw, or wants a natural lift and glow. It was so much better than I expected. Brea is so kind and knowledgeable she made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the facial/massage. I feel like I learned so much!
Meg!! Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback. I am so grateful for your wonderful experience. Can't wait to care for you again. Thank you!
Dianna Lam
Had my first buccal massage with Brea! It’s new to me and I really enjoyed it. The space is so cute and cozy- you can tell a lot of thought was put in to creating this sanctuary! Can’t wait to be back!
Thank you so much Dianna!!!
Rochelle Finley
First time customer and I absolutely loved it. Vita took time to ask questions regarding the type of massage I'd like and also showed me a whole new way to get a massage now. I have chronic pain, nerve damage and neck issues I left there feeling so relaxed and didn't have any pain from the massage. Can't wait to schedule the next massage
Thank you so much for your kind words! i'm really glad you enjoyed your massage. I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Laura Christensen
Brea is so kind and knowledgeable. I felt confident in her immediately! I have had many massage and facial experiences- but Brea's technique and approach resulted in the best experience with facial massage that I have ever had. Between the calming ambiance of the studio and Brea's beautiful soul, I walked away feeling so cared for and healthy. I am so thankful to have someone of Brea's caliber in Lodi.
Jessica Roccucci
I had the most relaxing and rejuvenating buccal massage facial with Brea. I can already feel the difference, and she truly cares about tailoring the experience to your individual needs. Brea is warm, inviting, and professional - she really knows her stuff! I also loved that she shared helpful education for maintenance, so I walked away not only refreshed but also more informed. Such a wonderful treatment all around!
Jessica, thank you so much for this amazing review, I am so grateful for our appt together!
Jami Cannon
I had my first every buccal facial massage from Brea. She warmly welcomes you into her beautiful space. She is very personable, knowledgeable, and takes great care in making sure you have a great and comfortable experience. I left my appointment feeling relaxed, lighter mentally/physically, with my face refreshed and lifted. Any tension I had was gone. I will definitely be booking another appointment.
Jami...! what a beautiful review, thank you so much. I appreciate you so much!!
Susie Dunning
This was the best Buccal facial I have had! Brea is so knowledgeable and so patient and kind in explaining everything. She truly loves what she does and it comes through in her work! I can’t wait until my next appointment!
Susie thank you so much, this makes my heart so incredibly happy to read. Thank you!!
Jackie James
I'm so glad Lodi has an esthetician that goes above and beyond delivering high definition results. I had never found someone offering Face sculpting massage near by. I totally loved how committed Brea was helping me find great products for my skin type, how relaxed I was, I really enjoyed my session I fell asleep 😴 She works with amazing products. Has plenty of product (back bar) for our daily maintenance. Im loving the day after my facial results, beautiful skin. If you are looking for a relaxing, top notch facial this is the place you need to be booking! I loved my session, but my favorite part is the transition with the🧖‍♀️ steam and wet towel 😍💯/💯🫠 book so you know what I'm talking about.
You're the BEST Jackie! Thank you so much!
Nessa Marie
I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a buccal massage at Emberlight Esthetics, and I can honestly say it was one of the best wellness experiences I've ever had. The space has been beautifully transformed into a safe haven — a peaceful oasis where you can escape and truly relax. From the lush live plants to the calming color palette, every detail was thoughtfully curated to promote serenity. Brea herself is a talented, and genuinely warm professional. Her warm hug and welcoming smile immediately put me at ease. Her attention to detail and passion for her craft are evident in every aspect of her work. She’s truly committed to providing the best experience possible, and it shows in the results. I’ve been to many massage parlors over the years, but this place stands out — I left feeling completely relaxed, tension-free, and refreshed. Parking was plentiful and convenient, located in a safe part of Lodi. Keep in mind, she books up quickly, so I recommend planning ahead. Her cancellation policy is clear and respectful, which I appreciate. Investing in self-care is so important, and Emberlight Esthetics is absolutely worth it. This isn’t just a massage; it’s a rejuvenating experience that you won’t regret. If you're looking for a place to unwind, release tension, and feel cared for, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be returning — highly recommended!
Sarah Rougeux
I found Brea on Instagram and was instantly intrigued by the buccal facial massage. I clench my jaw at night and also have chronic migraines so I was willing to try something new to see if it would help. The day of my appointment Brea immediately made me feel welcomed, relaxed, and safe. The buccal facial was the most relaxing facial I’ve ever had, it’s so gentle but made a huge difference in tightness and tension. The shoulder/neck/head massage was amazing, so amazing I canceled my monthly massage that month. I felt so relaxed and calm by the time I left. Brea is special, she has a unique gift not only in her business but in making people feel welcome, seen, heard, and cared for. Truly worth the drive from Sacramento and I recommend to everyone! UPDATE: Emberlight Sanctuary’s new space is truly perfection, every detail thought out, so inviting, peaceful, calm, beautiful. It is very obvious Brea has put her heart into this space and even more so into her clients. There’s a reason her books are always full, she is truly amazing. Brea, her space, her services summed up in one word - HOLY.
What a wonderful review thank you so much Sarah!! I am honored to get to work with each of you! This review was a huge compliment and made me tear up, thank you so much!
Abellema K
My first ever buccal massage with Brea was amazing! My skin looked bright and healthy afterward. She also taught me how to do lymphatic massage to help drain my lymph system. You can feel Brea’s passion. Already booked my next appt!
Thank you for this review! Yay lymphatic self massage! Keep it going my friend! Can't wait to see you again <3
Jenifer Ngo
My siblings and I purchased a buccal facial massage for our mom for her birthday. She said Breanne is very nice, professional and would definitely recommend her to anyone. I had my first buccal yesterday 9/23 and it was what I needed. Breanne is so nice, makes me you feel comfortable and walk you through the treatment. I would definitely recommend and will be returning.
Thank you Jenifer! <3 <3 <3 Can't wait to see you again! Thank you for the recommendation <3 Lots of love to your little mama!
Jacquelyn George
I have now had two facials/massage with Brea and each one was amazing. She does such an excellent job. I am always relaxed and feel great afterwards. I love her inclusion of stretching and deep breathing while having the service. The spa is clean and calming. The atmosphere is great. Overall, if you want an amazing facial go here.
Thank you J!!! You're the best!Can't wait to see you again!!! Thank you so much for these kind words and feedback <3 <3 <3
Marie Samson
I was searching for someone that does Buccal Facial until I found Brea on IG. I have always been concerned with puffiness on my face not sure if its water retention or stress or getting old 😩 When I walked in to her place today Brea immediately made me feel comfortable and relax. And me stressing that I made a few wrong turns to get to my appointment. 🤦🏻‍♀️ She explained all the steps that she will do The Buccal Facial was the most relaxing and amazing facial I’ve ever had . Brea’s hand are just pure magic , soft and gentle. I am a work in progress as far as all the tightness and tensions I have on my neck. And all the products she uses smells amazing. I was so happy that I booked my next 2 appointments already. She made me feel so relaxed and refreshed that I know I have to be back. Thank you my friend for your magic today ❤️ Much love and see you soon!
This is such an amazing review Thank you so much Marie!!! We love you!
MsLatinBeauty050
Brea is the most sweetest and beautiful soul inside and out! She makes you feel so comfortable from the second she greets you! Her facials are the best I have ever experienced. I can’t wait to go back because my skin always feels so rejuvenated, hydrated, and fresh!!
Oh my goodness thank you so much, this means so much to me! I am so grateful to have these beautiful sessions with you all!
Dulce Santos
I found Brea on Instagram, as I'd been researching buccal massage and lymphatic drainage for some time now. I was beyond excited when I found out that she was nearby. Prior to our appointment together, I was feeling a little anxious, as I have gotten vertigo spells from time to time during massages. I was greeted with Brea's warm smile and immediately felt her calming energy. Before we got started with anything, she took the time to get to know me, took some health information down, and explained everything in detail. We even stretched, welcomed in good energy, and invited healing and openness. She talked me through the different parts of the massage and she really took her time on areas where there was more blockages/tightness. It was a great session...and no vertigo! Brea checked in a few times afterwards to see how I was doing. She truly cares about her clients, is passionate about her work, and has a true gift of healing. I'm so fortunate to have her as a part of my care team and will definitely book again. There's no one else I'd recommend to my friends and family!

Best facial massage I ever had. Brea was the sweetest lady ever. Before the massage she gives a detailed background and practice on lymph node therapy for future maintenance which I plan to incorporate in my daily life. It was perfectly aligned that I was able to book my first appointment with her after being on the waitlist which opened up on my birthday!
Wow! What a review thank you SO MUCH! So happy we got to spend your bday together, love when we get some beautiful serendipity in this life <3 Thank you!!
Sheray Barrett
I had the most relaxing experience at Emberlight Esthetics! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was peaceful, and I immediately felt at ease. Brea was absolutely amazing. She was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to my needs. My facial left my skin feeling refreshed and glowing, and the massage melted away all my tension. I truly felt rejuvenated and relaxed afterward. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and treat yourself to some self care, this is definitely the place to go. 🫶🏻
Sheray!!! Thank you so much! Was an honor to care for you <3
alexa k wyman
Brea is phenomenal. She’s thoughtful and careful with every movement. She explains what she’s doing, uses high quality products, she gives you a truly luxurious experience and is worth every single penny. Not only does the buccal massage and facial feel great in the moment, I have felt better for 2.5 weeks post appointment. My face isn’t puffy, my cheeks are defined, I’m breathing better, and my smile is so much bigger!! I drove from oakland and will be doing it again regularly. Thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing feedback and review!! I am so grateful for you!!!
Susan McCarthy
I had my first lymphatic facial massage with Brea and it was an absolutely fabulous experience! Better than I expected. I can’t wait to book another appointment with her! Brea explains everything she’s going to do and why it’s important. I highly recommend this service.
Susan! What an amazing review and great feedback! I appreciate you so much! Thank you!!!
Sab Khan
I have had several facials with Brea and she is an absolute wizard!! I highly recommend everyone tries the facial with lymphatic drainage. I feel as light as a feather with all the tension and stress from my face and neck gone. Brea is very professional and very kind.
S thank you soooo much these words are so encouraging! You keep me going my friend! Cheers to you I'm beyond grateful to have you as a client!
Megan Sapigao
I’ve had 27 years of chronic neck pain, headaches, jaw tension and malaise from a car accident that I didn’t do a good job properly healing from when I was young. I’ve done everything, but this was a game changer in relieving chronic pain, boosting my energy, and setting me on a path to sustained healing. Breanne is so knowledgeable and you can tell she deeply believes in her expertise. This was worth the cost.
This brings me incredible purpose and satisfaction! Cheers to you Meg <3 Can't wait to see you again!
Anisha Ranchhod
Brea is amazing! As a dentist, I would recommend Brea’s facial massages as a non invasive option for patients who have head and neck tension, teeth clenching or grinding habits. Be prepared for the massage to extend into the mouth providing tension relief for all those muscles you are over working when you carry stress in your face and jaws. I also enjoyed all the plant based products she used on my face.
Thank you so much for this review Anisha! Can't wait to talk TMJ with you! Need to get our work dinner on the calendar!
Tam Murillo
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Brea at Emberlight Esthetics and experiencing my first buccal massage. It was exactly the wellness experience my body and soul needed. The treatment was not only deeply relaxing, but it also helped relieve my TMJ tension and melt away stress. From the moment I stepped into the space, I was struck by the peaceful atmosphere and Brea’s calm, positive energy. It was absolutely worth the drive up from the South Bay, and I can’t wait to return!
Tam, thank you so much for this review, praying for you all the time! Many blessings and continued healing to you my friend! You are incredible!
Susan Nakashima
Just had my second buccal facial massage with Brea and I can’t wait to go back! Truly a 5 star experience from start to finish. She has carefully considered every detail of her treatment to bring relaxation and results to her client. She has taken that same care in designing her space- it is lovely and inviting. Lodi is lucky to have such excellence in buccal facial massage at Emberlight Esthetics.
Otilia Aguila
Wowowow! What an incredible experience! I wasn’t sure what to book and at my appointment Brea helped me figure out which treatment would be best for my needs and she was spot on! Not only is my skin hydrated and smooth but the relaxation from the massage was nothing that I’ve ever experience before. I have so much tension in my jaw and neck that has completely melted away. Amazing! Brea herself is super easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable. Her new space is gorgeous, I look forward to seeing her again and watching her new place grow! Book with Brea, you will not regret it!
Otilia! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to care for you! See you soon my friend!
Crissy Mayer
If you haven’t already, book the massage/facial! From entering the building to leaving the building you will not regret any part of it. It’s so beautiful! Let me tell you about Brea! Oh my gosh she is the sweetest and so informative about all the lymphatic system and all the different things to do to just make your body feel better! Highly recommended! Can’t wait to go again!
Crissy, thank you so much!
Madelene Medina
It was my first visit and I felt right at home. Brea was a warm, calm presence and it was equally reflected in her beautiful space. Before the actual service, Brea guides you through stretching and breath exercises that not only helps you relax and get into the right mind space, but it also prepares your body to receive optimal treatment. I appreciated the holistic approach that I have not experienced elsewhere. The service itself was excellent. Her healing hands had the perfect pressure and she was thorough with her work. 90 minutes flew by yet the service did not feel rushed. The products she used for the facial and after care smelled so good too! If anyone reading this is on the fence like I was, I can happily share that I have no regrets. In fact, I am already booked for my next session! Thank you, Brea, for bringing your business to Lodi!❤️
Madelene thank you so much!! Love and appreciate you!
Molly Upchurch
Leaving my Deluxe Buccal Massage + Facial appointment, I am feeling so rejuvenated and well taken care of. Brea was such a friendly, gentle, informative, caring, sweet soul throughout my entire experience. Her space is inviting, beautiful, relaxing, vibey, and clean! Brea’s healing hands are such a gift to this earth and I can’t wait for my next appointment with her.
Molly thank you for this beautiful review 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹🥹
Chelsy Bell
I have had many facials in my life, and Brea definitely defined a new standard for service. From the beginning stretches, to the massage, and everything in between. She is absolutely passionate about her work, and her expertise provides the most amazing experience! She is kind, loving, and so sweet also! I cannot wait to book another treatment!
Thank you so much Chelsy!! This means so much to hear, I can't wait to see you again!
Dannicka Wade
Brea not only provides THE BEST facial experience, but she is also one of the kindest and most genuine people around. Sometimes these self-care appointments can feel intimidating, but Brea creates such a warm, positive atmosphere. The service she provided was top tier and I cannot wait to go back. I appreciate how thorough she was, her attention to detail, and her commitment to furthering her education on all things health and wellness. It’s a 5 star experience for me!
What a beautiful review, Dannicka thank you it is an honor to care for you!
Prudhel Realty
Brea did a great job on my facial! The massage she did really helped with inflammation around my face and after the facial I noticed a difference and so did my family! My face was less puffy, more defined and whatever kind of magic she worked was amazing! The atmosphere is calming, clean and I highly recommend! Will be going back soon!
Thank you so much for this review Ashlee! I was so grateful to get to work on you and your beautiful face, I cant wait to see you again. Thank you!
Kayla Cabanayan
Had such an amazing experience with Brea! This was my first facial massage ever, and I didn’t exactly know what to expect. She made the experience comfortable and super inviting. Her space is beautiful, calm, and smells nice. Breas hands are like magic. I really really enjoyed the amount of pressure she applied throughout. She focused on pretty much every crevice of the upper body. I felt very relaxed and well taken care of. For the facial, so far the products she used on me are working really well. My skin is smooth and seems balanced. I’m impressed! I can’t wait to come back for another session <3
Thank you beautiful woman, cannot wait to see you again. I cherish all the time with you!
Gina Faraci
So happy I found Brea! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and as sweet as could be, her sculpting facial was top notch! I’m a little bit of a talker but I loved that Brea wanted me to get the most out of my experience with her so she expressed that, put the music on a tiny bit louder and all I had to do was breathe and relax. It was exactly what I needed! I walked out of her place with an appointment for next month, glowing skin and feeling so much lighter!
Gina...! Thank you this means the world to me and gives me so much motivation to keep learning and growing!
Jennifer Miletich
Loved the buccal massage facial. The whole appointment is relaxing and you learn more about your body and how it works. Brea is the sweetest! I enjoyed the whole experience. Already rebooked!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Susan R
An absolutely lovely and exhilarating experience. I learned so much I never thought I needed to know and this beautiful lady has the most skilled hands I have ever felt! My face has never been happier!
EMMAROSE DATU
My first session with Brea was the Sculpt and Glow. Everything about my appt was amazing. Her treatment room has a cozy ambience to it that helped me feel relaxed. I honestly booked for the buccal and facial massage that the session comes with but the facial itself was great. My skin felt so soft and revived afterwards. You know that feeling when your face feels puffy because it’s retaining fluids? My face no longer felt puffy after the session. Being three months postpartum, I came in with an achy neck and shoulders, facial muscles feeling tense and very rundown but I left feeling completely relaxed, like a marshmallow. The best thing about Emberlight, I would have to say, is Brea! She has a very calming and kind presence to her when you first meet her, which is something I always look for with appts/sessions that involve self care. I am so glad I found Brea. I can’t wait for my next session with her!
Oh my goodness Emmarose! You are amazing, I was so excited to care for you after your newborn arrived! I was honored. Your skin is gorgeous! Thank you so much for this amazing review! A marshmallow! I love it!
Taryn Parris
“Brea is Simply the Best!” I can’t say enough wonderful things about Brea! From the moment you meet her, she makes you feel like you’ve known her your whole life. She has such a warm, genuine personality that instantly puts you at ease — and her space is just as inviting and calming. It’s as though you are in a tropical oasis. Brea truly listens to your skin concerns and customizes each treatment to exactly what you need. She’s so knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in her hands. Every visit with Brea is like a little retreat — I always leave feeling refreshed, glowing, and so well cared for. She never pushes products but gives the best recommendations and tries different options that actually work. If you’re looking for facial massage , Brea is your girl, she is not only talented but makes you feel like a friend —I’m so grateful I found her and can’t believe I’ve been missing this experience all my life
You're the best Taryn!
Samantha D'Onofrio
Got my first facial done here today and loved it! Learned so much and feel like I have a good game plan on how to move forward to improve my skin. You can just tell she cares so much and has a lot of passion! Also the space inside is beautiful and welcoming. Will for sure be back! ❤️

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but Brea is truly gifted. I’ve had both a buccal facial massage and an exterior facial massage with her, and both experiences were amazing. I’ve never felt so at ease and relaxed, and she worked through so many areas of tension. I feel completely safe and comfortable going to her knowing how highly trained and knowledgeable she is. Highly recommend!

This was my second prenatal massage with Victoria, and it was just as amazing as the first! I leave every session feeling completely relaxed, both physically and mentally. Her calming touch is so soothing that I almost fall asleep every time. It truly is the best 90 minutes of my day. I highly recommend Victoria to any expecting mama looking to relax and unwind!
Cris Cuevas
First time at Emberlight Sanctuary in Lodi, CA which was recommended by a friend. I have been to different sanctuaries, I rate Emberlight 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I booked appointment with Victoria for a Swedish deep tissue massage; from the moment I walked in very welcoming, ambiance, energy, peaceful. Victoria was amazing, she was able to released tension neck/shoulder area, very skilled, hand techniques very powerful to get those deep knots. Thank you so much Victoria, I felt so much better, I strongly recommend Emberlight Sanctuary with Vicotoria. I will definitely be back.

It was my first time going for a buccal massage and it was great. I had a really relaxing time, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing and the establishment is exceptionally clean. Breanne took great care and attention to walk me through the process and she did an amazing job with the facial massage. I highly recommend it.

I recently had a buccal massage and it was such a unique, relaxing experience. It released so much jaw tension I didn’t realize I was holding and left my face feeling lighter and more sculpted. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who grinds their teeth, holds stress in their jaw, or wants a natural lift and glow. It was so much better than I expected. Brea is so kind and knowledgeable she made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the facial/massage. I feel like I learned so much!
Meg!! Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback. I am so grateful for your wonderful experience. Can't wait to care for you again. Thank you!

Had my first buccal massage with Brea! It’s new to me and I really enjoyed it. The space is so cute and cozy- you can tell a lot of thought was put in to creating this sanctuary! Can’t wait to be back!
Thank you so much Dianna!!!

First time customer and I absolutely loved it. Vita took time to ask questions regarding the type of massage I'd like and also showed me a whole new way to get a massage now. I have chronic pain, nerve damage and neck issues I left there feeling so relaxed and didn't have any pain from the massage. Can't wait to schedule the next massage
Thank you so much for your kind words! i'm really glad you enjoyed your massage. I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Brea is so kind and knowledgeable. I felt confident in her immediately! I have had many massage and facial experiences- but Brea's technique and approach resulted in the best experience with facial massage that I have ever had. Between the calming ambiance of the studio and Brea's beautiful soul, I walked away feeling so cared for and healthy. I am so thankful to have someone of Brea's caliber in Lodi.
Jessica Roccucci
I had the most relaxing and rejuvenating buccal massage facial with Brea. I can already feel the difference, and she truly cares about tailoring the experience to your individual needs. Brea is warm, inviting, and professional - she really knows her stuff! I also loved that she shared helpful education for maintenance, so I walked away not only refreshed but also more informed. Such a wonderful treatment all around!
Jessica, thank you so much for this amazing review, I am so grateful for our appt together!
Jami Cannon
I had my first every buccal facial massage from Brea. She warmly welcomes you into her beautiful space. She is very personable, knowledgeable, and takes great care in making sure you have a great and comfortable experience. I left my appointment feeling relaxed, lighter mentally/physically, with my face refreshed and lifted. Any tension I had was gone. I will definitely be booking another appointment.
Jami...! what a beautiful review, thank you so much. I appreciate you so much!!
Susie Dunning
This was the best Buccal facial I have had! Brea is so knowledgeable and so patient and kind in explaining everything. She truly loves what she does and it comes through in her work! I can’t wait until my next appointment!
Susie thank you so much, this makes my heart so incredibly happy to read. Thank you!!
Jackie James
I'm so glad Lodi has an esthetician that goes above and beyond delivering high definition results. I had never found someone offering Face sculpting massage near by. I totally loved how committed Brea was helping me find great products for my skin type, how relaxed I was, I really enjoyed my session I fell asleep 😴 She works with amazing products. Has plenty of product (back bar) for our daily maintenance. Im loving the day after my facial results, beautiful skin. If you are looking for a relaxing, top notch facial this is the place you need to be booking! I loved my session, but my favorite part is the transition with the🧖‍♀️ steam and wet towel 😍💯/💯🫠 book so you know what I'm talking about.
You're the BEST Jackie! Thank you so much!

I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a buccal massage at Emberlight Esthetics, and I can honestly say it was one of the best wellness experiences I've ever had. The space has been beautifully transformed into a safe haven — a peaceful oasis where you can escape and truly relax. From the lush live plants to the calming color palette, every detail was thoughtfully curated to promote serenity. Brea herself is a talented, and genuinely warm professional. Her warm hug and welcoming smile immediately put me at ease. Her attention to detail and passion for her craft are evident in every aspect of her work. She’s truly committed to providing the best experience possible, and it shows in the results. I’ve been to many massage parlors over the years, but this place stands out — I left feeling completely relaxed, tension-free, and refreshed. Parking was plentiful and convenient, located in a safe part of Lodi. Keep in mind, she books up quickly, so I recommend planning ahead. Her cancellation policy is clear and respectful, which I appreciate. Investing in self-care is so important, and Emberlight Esthetics is absolutely worth it. This isn’t just a massage; it’s a rejuvenating experience that you won’t regret. If you're looking for a place to unwind, release tension, and feel cared for, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be returning — highly recommended!
Sarah Rougeux
I found Brea on Instagram and was instantly intrigued by the buccal facial massage. I clench my jaw at night and also have chronic migraines so I was willing to try something new to see if it would help. The day of my appointment Brea immediately made me feel welcomed, relaxed, and safe. The buccal facial was the most relaxing facial I’ve ever had, it’s so gentle but made a huge difference in tightness and tension. The shoulder/neck/head massage was amazing, so amazing I canceled my monthly massage that month. I felt so relaxed and calm by the time I left. Brea is special, she has a unique gift not only in her business but in making people feel welcome, seen, heard, and cared for. Truly worth the drive from Sacramento and I recommend to everyone! UPDATE: Emberlight Sanctuary’s new space is truly perfection, every detail thought out, so inviting, peaceful, calm, beautiful. It is very obvious Brea has put her heart into this space and even more so into her clients. There’s a reason her books are always full, she is truly amazing. Brea, her space, her services summed up in one word - HOLY.
What a wonderful review thank you so much Sarah!! I am honored to get to work with each of you! This review was a huge compliment and made me tear up, thank you so much!
Abellema K
My first ever buccal massage with Brea was amazing! My skin looked bright and healthy afterward. She also taught me how to do lymphatic massage to help drain my lymph system. You can feel Brea’s passion. Already booked my next appt!
Thank you for this review! Yay lymphatic self massage! Keep it going my friend! Can't wait to see you again <3
Jenifer Ngo
My siblings and I purchased a buccal facial massage for our mom for her birthday. She said Breanne is very nice, professional and would definitely recommend her to anyone. I had my first buccal yesterday 9/23 and it was what I needed. Breanne is so nice, makes me you feel comfortable and walk you through the treatment. I would definitely recommend and will be returning.
Thank you Jenifer! <3 <3 <3 Can't wait to see you again! Thank you for the recommendation <3 Lots of love to your little mama!
Jacquelyn George
I have now had two facials/massage with Brea and each one was amazing. She does such an excellent job. I am always relaxed and feel great afterwards. I love her inclusion of stretching and deep breathing while having the service. The spa is clean and calming. The atmosphere is great. Overall, if you want an amazing facial go here.
Thank you J!!! You're the best!Can't wait to see you again!!! Thank you so much for these kind words and feedback <3 <3 <3
Marie Samson
I was searching for someone that does Buccal Facial until I found Brea on IG. I have always been concerned with puffiness on my face not sure if its water retention or stress or getting old 😩 When I walked in to her place today Brea immediately made me feel comfortable and relax. And me stressing that I made a few wrong turns to get to my appointment. 🤦🏻‍♀️ She explained all the steps that she will do The Buccal Facial was the most relaxing and amazing facial I’ve ever had . Brea’s hand are just pure magic , soft and gentle. I am a work in progress as far as all the tightness and tensions I have on my neck. And all the products she uses smells amazing. I was so happy that I booked my next 2 appointments already. She made me feel so relaxed and refreshed that I know I have to be back. Thank you my friend for your magic today ❤️ Much love and see you soon!
This is such an amazing review Thank you so much Marie!!! We love you!

Brea is the most sweetest and beautiful soul inside and out! She makes you feel so comfortable from the second she greets you! Her facials are the best I have ever experienced. I can’t wait to go back because my skin always feels so rejuvenated, hydrated, and fresh!!
Oh my goodness thank you so much, this means so much to me! I am so grateful to have these beautiful sessions with you all!
Dulce Santos
I found Brea on Instagram, as I'd been researching buccal massage and lymphatic drainage for some time now. I was beyond excited when I found out that she was nearby. Prior to our appointment together, I was feeling a little anxious, as I have gotten vertigo spells from time to time during massages. I was greeted with Brea's warm smile and immediately felt her calming energy. Before we got started with anything, she took the time to get to know me, took some health information down, and explained everything in detail. We even stretched, welcomed in good energy, and invited healing and openness. She talked me through the different parts of the massage and she really took her time on areas where there was more blockages/tightness. It was a great session...and no vertigo! Brea checked in a few times afterwards to see how I was doing. She truly cares about her clients, is passionate about her work, and has a true gift of healing. I'm so fortunate to have her as a part of my care team and will definitely book again. There's no one else I'd recommend to my friends and family!

Best facial massage I ever had. Brea was the sweetest lady ever. Before the massage she gives a detailed background and practice on lymph node therapy for future maintenance which I plan to incorporate in my daily life. It was perfectly aligned that I was able to book my first appointment with her after being on the waitlist which opened up on my birthday!
Wow! What a review thank you SO MUCH! So happy we got to spend your bday together, love when we get some beautiful serendipity in this life <3 Thank you!!
Sheray Barrett
I had the most relaxing experience at Emberlight Esthetics! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was peaceful, and I immediately felt at ease. Brea was absolutely amazing. She was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to my needs. My facial left my skin feeling refreshed and glowing, and the massage melted away all my tension. I truly felt rejuvenated and relaxed afterward. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and treat yourself to some self care, this is definitely the place to go. 🫶🏻
Sheray!!! Thank you so much! Was an honor to care for you <3
alexa k wyman
Brea is phenomenal. She’s thoughtful and careful with every movement. She explains what she’s doing, uses high quality products, she gives you a truly luxurious experience and is worth every single penny. Not only does the buccal massage and facial feel great in the moment, I have felt better for 2.5 weeks post appointment. My face isn’t puffy, my cheeks are defined, I’m breathing better, and my smile is so much bigger!! I drove from oakland and will be doing it again regularly. Thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing feedback and review!! I am so grateful for you!!!
Susan McCarthy
I had my first lymphatic facial massage with Brea and it was an absolutely fabulous experience! Better than I expected. I can’t wait to book another appointment with her! Brea explains everything she’s going to do and why it’s important. I highly recommend this service.
Susan! What an amazing review and great feedback! I appreciate you so much! Thank you!!!
Sab Khan
I have had several facials with Brea and she is an absolute wizard!! I highly recommend everyone tries the facial with lymphatic drainage. I feel as light as a feather with all the tension and stress from my face and neck gone. Brea is very professional and very kind.
S thank you soooo much these words are so encouraging! You keep me going my friend! Cheers to you I'm beyond grateful to have you as a client!
Megan Sapigao
I’ve had 27 years of chronic neck pain, headaches, jaw tension and malaise from a car accident that I didn’t do a good job properly healing from when I was young. I’ve done everything, but this was a game changer in relieving chronic pain, boosting my energy, and setting me on a path to sustained healing. Breanne is so knowledgeable and you can tell she deeply believes in her expertise. This was worth the cost.
This brings me incredible purpose and satisfaction! Cheers to you Meg <3 Can't wait to see you again!
Anisha Ranchhod
Brea is amazing! As a dentist, I would recommend Brea’s facial massages as a non invasive option for patients who have head and neck tension, teeth clenching or grinding habits. Be prepared for the massage to extend into the mouth providing tension relief for all those muscles you are over working when you carry stress in your face and jaws. I also enjoyed all the plant based products she used on my face.
Thank you so much for this review Anisha! Can't wait to talk TMJ with you! Need to get our work dinner on the calendar!
Tam Murillo
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Brea at Emberlight Esthetics and experiencing my first buccal massage. It was exactly the wellness experience my body and soul needed. The treatment was not only deeply relaxing, but it also helped relieve my TMJ tension and melt away stress. From the moment I stepped into the space, I was struck by the peaceful atmosphere and Brea’s calm, positive energy. It was absolutely worth the drive up from the South Bay, and I can’t wait to return!
Tam, thank you so much for this review, praying for you all the time! Many blessings and continued healing to you my friend! You are incredible!
Susan Nakashima
Just had my second buccal facial massage with Brea and I can’t wait to go back! Truly a 5 star experience from start to finish. She has carefully considered every detail of her treatment to bring relaxation and results to her client. She has taken that same care in designing her space- it is lovely and inviting. Lodi is lucky to have such excellence in buccal facial massage at Emberlight Esthetics.
Otilia Aguila
Wowowow! What an incredible experience! I wasn’t sure what to book and at my appointment Brea helped me figure out which treatment would be best for my needs and she was spot on! Not only is my skin hydrated and smooth but the relaxation from the massage was nothing that I’ve ever experience before. I have so much tension in my jaw and neck that has completely melted away. Amazing! Brea herself is super easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable. Her new space is gorgeous, I look forward to seeing her again and watching her new place grow! Book with Brea, you will not regret it!
Otilia! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to care for you! See you soon my friend!
Crissy Mayer
If you haven’t already, book the massage/facial! From entering the building to leaving the building you will not regret any part of it. It’s so beautiful! Let me tell you about Brea! Oh my gosh she is the sweetest and so informative about all the lymphatic system and all the different things to do to just make your body feel better! Highly recommended! Can’t wait to go again!
Crissy, thank you so much!
Madelene Medina
It was my first visit and I felt right at home. Brea was a warm, calm presence and it was equally reflected in her beautiful space. Before the actual service, Brea guides you through stretching and breath exercises that not only helps you relax and get into the right mind space, but it also prepares your body to receive optimal treatment. I appreciated the holistic approach that I have not experienced elsewhere. The service itself was excellent. Her healing hands had the perfect pressure and she was thorough with her work. 90 minutes flew by yet the service did not feel rushed. The products she used for the facial and after care smelled so good too! If anyone reading this is on the fence like I was, I can happily share that I have no regrets. In fact, I am already booked for my next session! Thank you, Brea, for bringing your business to Lodi!❤️
Madelene thank you so much!! Love and appreciate you!
Molly Upchurch
Leaving my Deluxe Buccal Massage + Facial appointment, I am feeling so rejuvenated and well taken care of. Brea was such a friendly, gentle, informative, caring, sweet soul throughout my entire experience. Her space is inviting, beautiful, relaxing, vibey, and clean! Brea’s healing hands are such a gift to this earth and I can’t wait for my next appointment with her.
Molly thank you for this beautiful review 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹🥹
Chelsy Bell
I have had many facials in my life, and Brea definitely defined a new standard for service. From the beginning stretches, to the massage, and everything in between. She is absolutely passionate about her work, and her expertise provides the most amazing experience! She is kind, loving, and so sweet also! I cannot wait to book another treatment!
Thank you so much Chelsy!! This means so much to hear, I can't wait to see you again!
Dannicka Wade
Brea not only provides THE BEST facial experience, but she is also one of the kindest and most genuine people around. Sometimes these self-care appointments can feel intimidating, but Brea creates such a warm, positive atmosphere. The service she provided was top tier and I cannot wait to go back. I appreciate how thorough she was, her attention to detail, and her commitment to furthering her education on all things health and wellness. It’s a 5 star experience for me!
What a beautiful review, Dannicka thank you it is an honor to care for you!
Prudhel Realty
Brea did a great job on my facial! The massage she did really helped with inflammation around my face and after the facial I noticed a difference and so did my family! My face was less puffy, more defined and whatever kind of magic she worked was amazing! The atmosphere is calming, clean and I highly recommend! Will be going back soon!
Thank you so much for this review Ashlee! I was so grateful to get to work on you and your beautiful face, I cant wait to see you again. Thank you!
Kayla Cabanayan
Had such an amazing experience with Brea! This was my first facial massage ever, and I didn’t exactly know what to expect. She made the experience comfortable and super inviting. Her space is beautiful, calm, and smells nice. Breas hands are like magic. I really really enjoyed the amount of pressure she applied throughout. She focused on pretty much every crevice of the upper body. I felt very relaxed and well taken care of. For the facial, so far the products she used on me are working really well. My skin is smooth and seems balanced. I’m impressed! I can’t wait to come back for another session <3
Thank you beautiful woman, cannot wait to see you again. I cherish all the time with you!
Gina Faraci
So happy I found Brea! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and as sweet as could be, her sculpting facial was top notch! I’m a little bit of a talker but I loved that Brea wanted me to get the most out of my experience with her so she expressed that, put the music on a tiny bit louder and all I had to do was breathe and relax. It was exactly what I needed! I walked out of her place with an appointment for next month, glowing skin and feeling so much lighter!
Gina...! Thank you this means the world to me and gives me so much motivation to keep learning and growing!
Jennifer Miletich
Loved the buccal massage facial. The whole appointment is relaxing and you learn more about your body and how it works. Brea is the sweetest! I enjoyed the whole experience. Already rebooked!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Susan R
An absolutely lovely and exhilarating experience. I learned so much I never thought I needed to know and this beautiful lady has the most skilled hands I have ever felt! My face has never been happier!
EMMAROSE DATU
My first session with Brea was the Sculpt and Glow. Everything about my appt was amazing. Her treatment room has a cozy ambience to it that helped me feel relaxed. I honestly booked for the buccal and facial massage that the session comes with but the facial itself was great. My skin felt so soft and revived afterwards. You know that feeling when your face feels puffy because it’s retaining fluids? My face no longer felt puffy after the session. Being three months postpartum, I came in with an achy neck and shoulders, facial muscles feeling tense and very rundown but I left feeling completely relaxed, like a marshmallow. The best thing about Emberlight, I would have to say, is Brea! She has a very calming and kind presence to her when you first meet her, which is something I always look for with appts/sessions that involve self care. I am so glad I found Brea. I can’t wait for my next session with her!
Oh my goodness Emmarose! You are amazing, I was so excited to care for you after your newborn arrived! I was honored. Your skin is gorgeous! Thank you so much for this amazing review! A marshmallow! I love it!
Taryn Parris
“Brea is Simply the Best!” I can’t say enough wonderful things about Brea! From the moment you meet her, she makes you feel like you’ve known her your whole life. She has such a warm, genuine personality that instantly puts you at ease — and her space is just as inviting and calming. It’s as though you are in a tropical oasis. Brea truly listens to your skin concerns and customizes each treatment to exactly what you need. She’s so knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in her hands. Every visit with Brea is like a little retreat — I always leave feeling refreshed, glowing, and so well cared for. She never pushes products but gives the best recommendations and tries different options that actually work. If you’re looking for facial massage , Brea is your girl, she is not only talented but makes you feel like a friend —I’m so grateful I found her and can’t believe I’ve been missing this experience all my life
You're the best Taryn!
Samantha D'Onofrio
Got my first facial done here today and loved it! Learned so much and feel like I have a good game plan on how to move forward to improve my skin. You can just tell she cares so much and has a lot of passion! Also the space inside is beautiful and welcoming. Will for sure be back! ❤️
