What worked: --the prices were extremely reasonable. I haven't seen a spa that can compete with the massage prices here -- no appointment was needed, I was able to just walk in on a Saturday -- most of the massage was really pleasant. I loved the hot rocks that they used and the leg and foot part of the massage was so nice, I could've fallen asleep during it -- the masseuse checked in two or three times to make sure I was alright with the pressure which I appreciated -- the room felt clean and private. Nice and warm, too -- I never felt over-exposed. The masseuse was great about keeping my body covered with a sheet when she wasn't actively massaging that spot. She also held the sheet up for me when I turned my body which added to the feeling of modesty/coverage What didn't work: -- this was my first massage so I didn't know what to expect. The masseuse didnt tell me how much to undress (I had to guess and hope it was okay) or ask any questions about areas that I'd like the massage focused on/areas that might be sensitive. Not a big deal but something that first timers should be aware of -- The masseuse was strong!! The pressure was intense and sometimes painful, but she reduced her pressure when I asked. I think someone who likes firm pressure or who has a lot of tension would really benefit! Overall, I had a positive experience and I'd go again now that I know what to expect. I think they may need to give a little more info or prep for first-timers but someone who knows what they want from a massage will have an awesome time here. The price and quality of the massage really make this place stand out as a top choice for me.

I called to see if they had an appointment today. I wanted to see Eida, who was actually the owner. However, she only walked until 2 PM. But I was able to see Sandra, who was very humble, super nice, and welcoming. Sandra is wonderful. I only had an hour for the full body massage, had requested on specific areas. Like the neck and the feet. She worked on those focus area for an hour and was great. I told her a little bit of my TMJ, she's very informative and told me how I can do home remedies massages for myself, as well as certain areas that we found were tender as she did some pressure points, and told me how to straighten my muscles. After the session was done, my feet felt great after standing for eight hours yesterday at work. My neck also feels very relaxed, I came in with tension and tightness, and she helped me loosen it up.

However I've been experiencing some elbow pain due to an overuse injury related to my occupation. I've seen my chiropractor a few times about it which brought some relief, but it's still been bugging me a lot. My wife has been seeing Stephanie for a couple years now, and booked me a 2hr appointment with her (knowing I'd never do it myself). I had the appointment yesterday, and I'm SO glad I did. I could instantly tell that Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all the muscles and connective tissues, knowing that where it hurt was not necessarily where the problem was originating. She confessed that she loves the challenge of finding those pesky source knots/tensions/misbehaving parts, almost like a detective solving a crime. Well my body is guilty as charged, and she expertly reduced 90% of my pain in the first 2hr appointment. If you want the perfect blend of a feel-good massage with what I'd describe as therapeutic/medical-level therapy, look no further than Stephanie at Soul Purpose Massage. I can tell that she can turn that dial of "feel good" to "hurts good" depending on each client's specific needs/wants. I definitely wanted the pain issues dealt with and couldn't care less about the feel good aspects (although the whole experience definitely was amazing).
