This is a real hidden gem. This place is tucked away inside of a medical/professional building. I was unsure about what the set up may look like but I was really impressed the first time I walked in. Very relaxing and well put together. I have now been here a bunch of times and it's always amazing. It's a small intimate spa with an incredibly talented staff. My favorite therapists to see are Gina, Jacqui & Rachel. Gina does an incredible job of blending massage and energy work to give the ultimate relaxing experience. It's hard to explain in detail but Gina knows how to read what is going on with you and provides a uniquely therapeutic experience. Jacqui is my go to deep tissue therapist. She knows how to find and workout all the tension and knots that I come in with. Top notch neck, shoulder & back work. She can work really deep but still integrates relaxing techniques so I leave pain free and relaxed. Rachel is always introducing me to new techniques when I am on her table. From walking on my back , to cupping and shockwave treatment. She blends various tools and techniques to target problems areas and works hard to address all my issues while I am on the table. Everyone is so professional and accommodating. I am never disappointed when I come in. Adore also has some great amenities like a sauna and sound vibration table. I have not tried the vibration table yet but the owner says it helps with stuff like stress and anxiety so I look forward to trying it after my next massage. It can get busy on the weekends so I like to come during the week when I can. They are really great at trying to fit you in last min. read more

I have been searching high and low for the last couple of months since moving out this way for a good massage therapist, and out of the blue I saw the ad for Adore Essence Massage and Spa.I am a person who looks at photos of the establishment to determine if I want to go and the pictures were inviting and rooms looked well equipped. So, I took the chance and scheduled an appointment (which was so easy and was confirmed right away!). Upon getting there I was greeted immediately by Racheli with a warm smile and hand shake. I didn't have to wait at all. I suffer from chronic back pain and was in bad shape when I walked in to see Racheli. I told her my issue and where the pain was and she took it from there. Long story short, I received a FABULOUS massage and the atmosphere was so relaxing. You could tell that she was experienced and cared about your pain and issues because she worked very hard to relieve them. I can honestly say that I have found a new massage therapist and will be leaving those "chain" spas behind in the dust!!! No more laying in a freezing room, no more scheduling hot stones because there's only one set per 15 therapists and no more rushing me off the table and cutting my 60 minutes down to 45 minutes. If you want a personalized experience, go see Racheli. Because of her, I feel 100% better than I did when I walked in to see her. I'll be back every two weeks!!! read more

Paul Funovitis, thanks so much for the 1 star review. I'd love to correct you on a few points. Michelle is the manager of the spa and I am the owner. The following is documented from Michelle for you to see. on 2/16 you booked a massage and I explained that we take half out for a security deposit immediately and the second half would be taken after your appointment or if you don't call to cancel or change your reservation at least 24 hours prior to your appointment you will be charged. On 2/18 you called me 15 minutes after your appointment to tell me you overslept and weren't going to be there. At that time I did advise you we would charge for the remaining balance as we had a 24 hour cancel policy. You understood. On 3/3 you called me back to tell me your card had been charged and that you wanted to book another appointment but you wanted it basically for free since we already charged you. I again explained the cancel policy and you then threatened to write a bad review if I didn't give you another massage at no charge. I'm sorry that you feel the 24 hour cancel policy doesn't apply to you but we also need to pay our employees when you decide to just not show up. Hope that clears things up. Sincerely, Michelle Spa Manager Adore Essence Massage & Spa read more

I have been getting a massage from Racheli for about 3 months now and typically see her 6-8 times a month. One of the things that I like about her is that she listens to my needs and focuses her attention to that area. I have tight legs and a sore ankle a lot of the time and other massage therapists ignore that I said that I would like them to focus on particular areas and they just go through their routine but Racheli pays attention and works the areas that I want. She genuinely wants you to feel better when you leave than when you came in. I have been getting massages for at least 35 years and have had many different massage therapists and I highly recommend her as your therapist. read more

Having received 100's of massages from a million therapists I was so caught off guard when Racheli began the session. It's really hit or miss with massage therapists whether or not you get a good one who knows their stuff. Racheli is not just good she's Excellent, quite possibly one of the best if not the best I've ever encountered. She has a gifted intuition in her hands. She just knows where and how to get it done. Not too chatty but will gladly talk if you so desire. I see her every time I'm in town and will continue to do so, she's just that good. Additionally she's an absolute sweetheart and very pretty!

I almost never take the time to write a review online, however I feel that I have to. I drove here from San Diego and developed severe tightness in my back. After a few hours of researching places around my area I choose this one. I was able to get an appointment the next day. I received a massage from Shella. She not only found all my knots very quickly and it was like she had a sixth sense where they were. She hit the most tender part of each knot and did an AMAZING job!!! After the session she gave me fantastic advice to help my back in the future. I will definitely be back. I have felt like a new man since then. read more

Because of my intense workout routine, I have received many massages regularly from a variety of professional massage therapists. Adore Essence Massage has become my regular spa now because I know I will receive a massage that will relieve my aches from my workout. Racheli is skilled in several different Massage types and I recently have become a fan of Hot Stone since it relieves the stress I have in my legs and lower back. Racheli only offers totally professional services, and if your intent is to relieve muscle pain, this is the place to go. I highly recommend Adore Essence Spa. Bill read more

I am updating my review since what happened this weekend, I used to go get massages here for a while before I switched to a prenatal specialist and my husband was having shoulder pain so I told him how great this place was and made him an online appointment days prior. When he showed up 10 minutes before his appointment no one was there, he waited until 5 minutes after and contacted them and they said his appointment fell through the cracks. I am just so bummed this happened, they offered to have him wait but just not happy at all, luckily I got him in somewhere else the same day. read more

First massage at Adore Essence today. It was a very positive experience. Yessy was on time for my appointment. She took the time to understand my concerns and stayed on point throughout my massage to address those concerns. She taught me some new things about stretching activity to improve my physical health and really showed a genuine interest in helping me to feel better. The facility doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. I gave 5 stars because to me, it's more about the exceptional level of service I received. I will be back soon. read more

My husband and I went to Adore to get deep tissue massages and it was wonderful. Not only did we get amazing massages but because I was curious about the "cupping" technique, our masseuse had a few extra minutes, pulled me into a room and showed me. Even after she had just worked on my husband for an hour! Gina and Jess are amazing, very sweet and actually listen to you when you tell them where you need the most work. Rachel, the owner, is just as wonderful. We've found our new massage place and will be returning often! You should too, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Seriously can not say enough for this place! It's in the Viking Square Professional & Medical Building, so don't be fooled...it's there! The owner is the absolute kindest person I have ever received a massage from. She was attentive and sensitive to my trouble spots and demonstrated a deep knowledge for massage techniques. She wanted me to leave feeling like a new person, and I truly did! Absolutely relaxing and therapeutic. I loved my experience here and I will be back. read more

I do quite a bit of traveling abroad and in the states and have had several massages when traveling. By far this was the best massage experience that I have ever had. Nicole was my massage therapist and I encourage all that are reading this to check her healing hands out. The price was right and the environment was extremely peaceful. I'm don't live in the area but I am planning to come back as soon as I can to get another massage from her. read more

I am a regular client of Adore Essence massage because Racheli is the best massage therapist I have ever had. Her massages are custom tailored each time I visit. I have never had a similar massage twice because she has an intuitive ability to know where I am hurting and does her best to relieve my muscle pain. I have been to many massage therapists in recent years but my favorite is at Adore Essence Massage & Spa. Highly recommended! read more

Great for last minute appts. Very relaxing atmosphere and the technicians are far better than any other place around. Will definitely return every time I experience muscle pain. Rachel worked around my multiple surgical sites and addressed my medical concerns prior, during and after my visit. This is a legitimate business with professional staff who are equally attentive to medical as they are to relaxation. read more

This hidden gem is easy to find off Old Grand Avenue across from Viking School. Rachel is a versatile and competent masseuse. I had the hot rocks massage and I'm still on cloud nine. It took the tension and soreness right out my body. As a former athlete I have had a gazillion massages and this one was among best. Want to clear your head and keep some money in your pocket this is the spot to do it. read more

I highly recommend Adore Essence Massage. Racheli has a great knowledge of massage technique and has a sixth sense to know how much pressure to apply to help relieve her clients aches and pains. I am now a loyal customer of Adore Essence because each massage I receive is custom tailored to me. I can't wait until my next massage ! read more

Adrianna gave me and my friend facials and provided us with excellent service, we both felt so relaxed and her services left our skin feeling amazing! I personally had the acne facial and I noticed a difference after, she was extremely helpful as well! Great spa and customer service. read more

This was my first time ever going to this place. And I have to say it was such a great massage. I will definitely be returning Sonia was my masseuse and she did an amazing job getting the knots out of my neck with a deep tissue massage. Felt so relaxed when I left. Highly recommend! read more

Irena was amazing! I was traveling up to bring kids to Great America and thought I would treat myself. Probably the best massage I've ever had! Wish they were closer so I could make them my regular. Thank you read more
