I've been here twice and gotten 2 different services, the 60 mins Asian Body Works (Tuina) with Hot…read moreStones and the 60 mins Foot Reflexology with Asian Body Works. The massage has always been very good and reception is very nice. Both times I have used a Groupon and booked an appointment for the same or next day (once I called because I was close by and they got me in for an appointment 10 mins later). Maybe it's because I go on weekdays, but they seem to have lots of availability. The massage is always very thorough and my body feels excellent after. They tend to use firm pressure -- I don't mind some pain during my massage but you can ask them to be lighter. Language barrier can be an issue so you may want to let reception know before you go in for the massage. The 60 mins Asian Body Works (Tuina) with Hot Stones was full body including scalp and face but not feet and you removed your clothes. The 60 mins Foot Reflexology with Asian Body Works included a foot soak, focused on feet and legs, and you kept your clothes on for the body works massage. I preferred the body works with hot stones from masseuse David, who asked multiple time if the pressure was good and it really felt amazing! If you care more about the foot massage and less about the body, then I would opt for the foot reflexology (the massage I had was fantastic as well). The space is clean, beds are very comfortable, and ambiance is nice. The different massage areas are divided by screens rather individual rooms separated by walls. I don't mind this, but I can see how some would not prefer it. When I went for the foot reflexology, I was in a shared room with a stranger -- this was fine for me because you do not remove your clothes for this service. I found it a little weird initially but did not care during the actual massage; again, I can see how some people may not enjoy this setup. Overall, Nomad offers very high quality massage at a reasonable price point, not overly extravagant. I will definitely go back regularly!

I was greeted at the front by a lady, nice enough, she asked for the payment upfront for one hour, I said ok and paid. I am used to being able to choose my level of undress for a massage, when she came back in, she made me strip. I asked if I could at least keep my underwear on, she told me to take it off. I said ok and relented, she had my money anyways. Normal enough massage, nothing special, she did have a phone call that she took briefly in the middle of the massage. It ended and I gathered what remaining cash I had, which amounted to $7, 10% of the total. Admittedly, this isn't my normal 20%. She argued with me that the standard tip is 30% and everyone knows that. I told her that I paid the agreed upon price up front and that tips are NOT mandatory and definitely not 30%. She was irrational, loud and rude, and I stopped her mid-sentence and said I will not seek future services here, have a good day, and opened the door and ambled back out onto Moody St. with my walker. Horrendous, bizarre experience, wouldn't recommend.

However, he immediately put me at ease with his calm, respectful approach and clear depth of knowledge. I felt comfortable opening up, which made a big difference in my overall experience. He asked thoughtful, thorough questions and took the time to clearly explain his approach and recommendations. This gave me a lot of confidence in the care I was receiving. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal; he was genuinely attentive and invested in my situation. One unique aspect of the experience is the brief massage following the treatment. It's such a relaxing and helpful addition that really enhances each session. I truly felt cared for and supported throughout my visits. His team is also fantastic warm, welcoming, and professional. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate acupuncturist.

I had been on birth control for years, and when I got off of it, my periods became very painful, to the point of needing to miss school and work.

But after coming here once a month for a few months, my periods have completely normalized again. No more pain and now my cycles are regular to a T! I haven't made any other life changes besides coming to see Bell. Their methodology is safe and effective, and in my case, curative. Periods don't have to suck!
