Ensenada Massage offers Massage and facial in Ensenada, Baja Mexico with port pick up options and mobile service to Valle de Guadalupe, Rosarito, and La Mision areas. Our relaxation massage rooms fit up to 14 at the same time.

We began with one simple mission: to create deeply relaxing, high-quality experiences and access to fun adventures that Ensenada has to offer for visitors to Baja California—offering them not just body care, but space to breathe, reconnect, and feel whole again.

Our services and mission grew orgnically out of a very personal journey.

I, Jesse Atkinson, was living a fast-paced life working as a financial consultant and with no dreams of a career in wellness. After finishing grad school and a short fun work stint in Guatemala, I was on my way to a career with just pause to ride out the Great Recession in Baja.

But after a period of personal and health challenges—including a cancer diagnosis, I end up needing a change. Moving to Ensenad to recover from tumor removal, I stumbled into massage not as a profession, but as healing. First for myself—then for others.

After a lot of studies like foot reflexology and massage at Thailand’s Wat Pho Temple, I integrated how massage, breath, and nervous system connection could help people release tension, calm anxiety, and feel more alive. From those first one-on-one sessions, a community began to grow as he worked with medical massage, pain clients from near by Hino Medical Center (myoffice was next door) , couples traveling to Ensenada and the cruise community, and eventually invited other great therapists to join.

Over the last 15 years, what started as a small practice became Ensenada Massage, now trusted by thousands of travelers and locals alike. Over the years, the vision expanded to include Valle Mobile Spa—offering in-villa massage experiences in the nearby Baja wine region—and Ensenada Excursions and Tours, offering Transportation, Shore Excursions, and Baja Wine Tours.

At its core, Ensenada Massage is built on the belief that life is better when you feel good in your body and mind. Whether it’s through calming human touch, the quietness of slow travel, or a good laugh with your group during a spa party, our goal is to help you feel better in your body and more connected to your trip—and to yourself. Our massage philosophy focus to connect with the body and relax the entire nervous system so it allows healing or rest from within. This involves touch, scents, sound and quietness. Many of the emotional and physical discomforts resolve themselves with great body care and self-maintaince.

And as life evolves from a foundation of wellness, there is time for travel, adventure, dog cuddles, blues music and all the delicious experiences of life.

And since sharing experiences is part of wellnes is social, we like to focus on couples and groups.

I love the life I have built in Ensenada, and happy to share it wiith others.
