Elevate Your Wellbeing
Scratch LA Wellness is Los Angeles’ premier Black woman–owned ASMR relaxation brand, established in 2025. We believe wellness is not a luxury, but a state of being. Through ASMR-inspired experiences and soothing touch, we create space for rest, calm, and connection — one scratch at a time.
Our company ethos
At Scratch LA Wellness, we believe wellness should be accessible to everyone, not reserved for luxury spas or elite retreats. Our mission is to create welcoming, intentional spaces where people can experience rest, relaxation, and the power of gentle touch.
By blending ASMR-inspired practices with holistic care, we honor the truth that wellness is a state of being, and it belongs to us all.
FAQs
What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It’s often described as a soothing, tingling sensation that begins at the scalp and moves down the body, triggered by certain sounds, visuals, or gentle touch. People experience ASMR differently — for some it feels like deep relaxation, for others it’s simply calming and grounding. At Scratch LA Wellness, we use ASMR-inspired practices like soft sounds, light touch, and sensory tools to create an atmosphere of comfort and stress relief.
Where can I experience Scratch LA?
You can now enjoy Scratch LA Wellness in three ways.
First, you can visit our studio for one-on-one ASMR-inspired relaxation sessions at our Century City location. We also continue to pop up at events and markets across Los Angeles, and you can find all upcoming dates on the Upcoming Events section of our website. In addition, Scratch LA Wellness partners with community spaces, businesses, and residences to bring our wellness experience directly to their clients and residents.
What can I expect during a session?
Sessions are designed for relaxation and may include gentle back scratching, ASMR-inspired sounds, and the use of tools such as combs or brushes. Each experience is calming, non-invasive, and focused on helping you unwind. Scratch LA Wellness isn’t massage therapy. We don’t do deep tissue or medical bodywork. Everything is light, soothing, and purely for relaxation and wellness vibes.
What are the benefits of ASMR?
ASMR, which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is known for its deeply calming and grounding effects. Many people experience a sense of relaxation, mental quiet, and physical ease during ASMR-based experiences.

Mental clarity and emotional comfort
At Scratch LA Wellness, ASMR-inspired sessions are designed to create a safe, soothing environment where your body and mind can slow down, reset, and settle into calm.
Please note: ASMR experiences are for relaxation and wellness purposes only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.

Don’t see an answer to your question?
Is this massage therapy?
No — Scratch LA Wellness is not massage therapy.
Our sessions are ASMR-inspired relaxation experiences designed to calm the mind and nervous system, not to treat muscles or provide therapeutic bodywork. We do not use pressure, kneading, stretching, or muscle manipulation of any kind. We do not provide medical treatment or regulated bodywork. Traditional massage therapy focuses on relieving muscle tension through techniques like deep pressure and targeted manipulation. In contrast, our sessions emphasize gentle touch, soft tools, sensory cues, and intentional quiet to promote relaxation and a sense of calm.
All services are non-invasive, non-medical, non-massage and offered solely for relaxation and wellness purposes.
Do you offer couples or side-by-side sessions?
At this time, Scratch LA Wellness offers sessions for one client at a time. While I’m not able to provide side-by-side or simultaneous sessions right now, couples or friends are welcome to book back-to-back appointments whenever availability allows.
Offering couples sessions is something I hope to provide in the future as the studio grows.
Do you offer prenatal sessions?
At this time, Scratch LA Wellness does not offer prenatal sessions. Many experiences involve lying on the stomach, and I want to ensure I’m fully equipped before offering pregnancy-safe services. I plan to invest in a pregnancy-safe table and supportive tools. Prenatal sessions will be added to the booking page once available.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, studio sessions do need to be booked in advance, and you can easily schedule through the Booking page on our website. For pop-ups, many events offer walk-up appointments, while others may require reservations. We recommend checking the Upcoming Events page for the details of each location.
Is Scratch LA safe and hygienic?
Yes — all tools and surfaces are sanitized between clients using medical-grade cleaning supplies, and fresh coverings are used for each session. Single-use items are discarded after each session, and reusable tools are thoroughly cleaned to ensure a safe, hygienic experience.
Your comfort and safety are our top priority.
