Massage & the Sense of Relief Physical Aspects Deep Breathing: Slow, deep breaths can help relax...
At Healing Arts Massage & Wellness Center, wellness isn’t just a service—it’s a way of life. Founded in Pacific Beach over 25 years ago, our center is the heart-child of Marlene Costa, a deeply compassionate health practitioner with decades of experience in bodywork, nutrition, and holistic healing.
From the very beginning, Marlene’s mission has been simple: to support others on their journey to feel good in their bodies, reconnect with their energy, and restore balance—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Founder, Practitioner, Wellness MentorWith a background in nutritional therapy, holistic healing modalities, and therapeutic bodywork, Marlene has been helping people feel at home in their bodies since the early 90s. Her journey began with a calling to better understand the body’s innate healing power, and since then, she’s devoted her life to learning—and sharing—everything she can about optimal wellness.
She has worked with hundreds of clients, from busy college students and young professionals to active moms and growing families. Her thoughtful, personalized approach integrates both eastern and western modalities, blending intuitive bodywork with science-backed nutritional therapy to help you to feel better every day.
“True healing begins with being seen, heard, and supported!”
For over 25 years, Healing Arts Massage & Wellness Center has been a trusted part of the Pacific Beach community—a quiet sanctuary where locals come to unwind, reset, and feel whole again. From college students to busy moms to longtime neighbors, we’ve been honored to support our clients through every season of life, helping them navigate stress, recover from physical strain, and feel more at ease in their own bodies.
