I love the concept of Cosmic Groove massage centers. They charge a very affordable amount for…read moremassages. The 1st and 10th visits are $44 for an hour massage and the everything in between is $54 for an hour. I've probably been to Cosmic Groove 5 times over the past five years and for the most part have had pretty good experiences. I just went back this month for the first time in a few years and wasn't so impressed though. My two biggest issues were that my massage therapist had BO and so I could smell her body odor every time she was near my head. It was a little distracting and not so relaxing having that smell around me. The second issue was that when I filled out my paperwork before the massage and wrote that I prefered no touch below the waist down that day and after the massage therapist finished my shoulders and back, she immediately started massaging my legs. I don't understand, she either didn't read the paper when she was looking over it or she forgot what she had read. That being said, all of my other experiences with them were pretty great. The studio is nothing fancy but it is comfortable and inviting. All of my interactions there have been friendly and warm. I'll be back for sure, I just hope not to see the same therapist unless she showers first.

Very little responses to my several inquiries, and finally I was told just to call and let the receptionist give me info.

I had suggested we try tantra, and she was apprehensivly open to the idea. I desided to just go for it. I called Tantric Retreat and the phone was answered by Jess. We immediately had some sort of connection and my wife and she had alot of past history in common. I sheepishly told my wife about my conversation and asked her to call Jess. She was very nervous but Jess answered her questions and concerns. My wife said to book it. We spent 2 days at Denise and John's home 3, 3hr sessions were booked. Turned into 2, 3hrs a 2 hr, and they added an extra hour the next morning. Denise gave us a yoga session just because. My wife had always wanted me to do that with her. They have a temple in their basement for your pesonal quarters. However they welcome you freely in the other area of their home. These people are so open and welcoming, tailor the sessions to your specific needs. The sessions were amazing and have brought my wife and i so much closer together. No turmoil, tension, or stress in our home any longer. We built a sacred space in our home in the days after we departed. We use it daily before we go to work and meditate together. And most days, the evenings for the more adventurous aspects. These people truly changed our lives and relationship in a way i never dreamed possible. I would recommend them without reservation to any couple that wants to take their relationship to a level they never thought possible, or needs to resolve past issues and heal. It will do both. Its not all about sex, and nothing out of your comfort zone happens or is discussed with your practitioner. Those issues and things are called homework. Do it! It works if you give it your all. My wife and i no longer have hallway sex, but are studying for a doctorate in happiness, bliss, and ecstasy. Just go for it, life changing

I'm echoing the other great reviews to say that Kelly is THE BEST FACIALIST IN ASHEVILLE (and maybe…read morebeyond?). I've been getting facials from Kelly for 20+ years -- mostly at a previous salon-- and like another reviewer, I tracked her down after she left that place during COVID. Kelly is a total pro and her facials are absolutely transcendent. You will be transported to another dimension as she works wonders on your face, neck and chest skin. All the while, she's giving incredible deep-tissue massage. Her facials are surprisingly vigorous, almost like she's performing a modern dance, but you'll be blissed out while she's working hard. Treat yourself and buy the full 90-minute experience; you won't regret a minute of it. Also, don't be turned off by the modest strip-mall exterior of this little gem. Once you're inside, you will be comfy and cozy.
