Healthy Living Sites in Ensenada

Clients often ask me where to locate health and wellness places, so here is a helpful list that I have personally used. Please offer suggestions in the comments, thanks!  I will update as feasible.

Nutrition research: I use www.nutritionfacts.org.  The MD there spends his time reading only published nutrition studies, then makes easy videos to explain how we can use the research.  Mostly encourages a plant based diet. 

Turmeric: Dried at Fruty Mario Ambar and Ruiz corner.  Look in dry bulk cannisters inside. Dried also at Semillas and Especias on 5th and Alavardo corner.  Great place for bulk spices like ginger, jamica, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Raw turmeric root I found at Ley on 16th and Reforma corner.

Vegan/vegetarian products: La Milpa on Floresta and 3rd. 

Herbs/yerba matte: La Milpa on Floresta and 3rd.

Juices: Hino's nutrution center has all the trimmings with wheatgrass, apple cider vinegar and ginger available, and quality juice machine.  Baja Fruit on 11th and Riverol and 16th and Gastelum? Is a good cheaper alternative that offers base juice added to veggies in a blender.  It is cheaper and that is easier to access. 

Yoga studio: Shanti Yoga on Ryerson and 10th has the most consistent and variety of classes.  Good facilities.

Organic Market: Mogor Market on Wed/Saturdays in Valle.  Comens in Centro next to Santo Tomas has biological veggies less common here such as heirloom tomatoes and purple carrots. 

Alkaline water: Maria Luisa's on 11th and Ruiz near my office has it on stock in 5 gallon, so no waiting to refill.  About same price as other water.  

Raw goat milk: Just found this through Gonzalo Rodgriguez. 

Will update with time . . . .

 

Jesse in Ensenada

In 2011, I traded the noise of burnout for the pace of the Pacific coast. What began as a personal search for healing in Ensenada evolved into a mission to share the best of this region with the world.

Over the last 15 years, I haven’t just lived in Baja; I’ve mapped its secrets, mastered its logistics, and built a community-focused business dedicated to authentic, stress-free exploration.

As the founder of Ensenada Massage and Valle Mobile Spa, I believe wellness should be as accessible as the landscape. Recognizing a need for more intimate, traveler-centric experiences, I launched Ensenada Excursions & Tours. I saw the limitations of crowded, cookie-cutter shore trips and built a team that prioritizes privacy, safety, and local insight—so you can experience Baja on your own terms. Today, through Baja Tours & Transport, we bridge the gap between San Diego and the heart of the peninsula, ensuring your journey is as seamless as your destination.

I split my time between Point Loma and Ensenada, but my heart is permanently on the road. Whether I’m scouting a new path through the Valle de Guadalupe, practicing capoeira, or diving into the latest research on longevity, I am constantly learning to better serve those who visit our home.

I’m more than just a business owner; I’m your local resource for everything from hidden taco spots to the perfect itinerary.
