Following outstanding reviews by yelpers, I booked a 90 minute deep tissue massage. Bobbi did a superb job to make certain I got what I needed. Other staff were very pleasant. Facilities were just fine but nothing extravagant. Location is across the street from the university in a small office building about 1.3 miles from the Nittany Lion Inn. read more

Such a calming environment and very sanitary. I've gotten two amazing massages and a facial. Highly recommend!

I was given a massage for my birthday by a friend at Artemis. The place is fantastic, very trendy, and the staff was friendly. The massage was sensational. I can't wait to have another! Highly recommend them. read more

Amazing place, amazing staff, and extremely relaxing environment. I wasn't the one who received a massage, but I scheduled one for my wife and dropped her off here. Therefore much of my feedback is from my brief time there talking to the staff and what my wife relayed to me. Pros: - Owner is very friendly and welcoming. - Staff is top-notch, very accommodating and highly skilled - Decor is top-notch, very creative and encourages customers to relax. - Location is convenient, even if it's right downtown. Lots of parking available and easy to find. - I'm not one for the artificial relaxation-inducing atmosphere, as I'm not a stressful kind of guy, but this place actually made me feel a little more relaxed for just the few minutes I spent here. Hushed communication, peaceful decor, dimmed lights, and friendly, open staff just somehow got rolled together perfectly to put me at ease. Cons: - Expensive, but not unreasonable. - You're encouraged to take off your shoes when you enter. That's a little unusual. I'd understand for the massage rooms, but not the lobby. I'm sorry, but I don't take off my shoes outside of my my own home and homes of friends/family. - If you schedule for a specific session, you can't downgrade your session upon arrival. For example, I scheduled for a 90 minute session, but wanted my wife to be able to downgrade to 60 minutes depending upon how she liked it. They don't allow this. Some other massage parlors in town would do this for its customers. After all 90 vs 60 minutes isn't a huge price difference. - Owner mentioned the place is themed after the goddess Artemis. A little eccentric, and one of "those" people. But to each their own, she's still very friendly and professional. So if you don't care to discuss pagan stuff, just avoid small talk with her. The cons were just nit-picking and not enough to detract from my star rating and the wonderful experience you'll receive from a massage here. read more

This massage happened to be the first one for me and my boyfriend. We cannot speak more highly of the experience from Artemis massage studio. They take great care to make you feel comfortable, and they pair that with an amazing massage. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and we would definitely recommend this to anyone in the central Pennsylvania area! read more

Yesterday my wife and I had a couples massage and my wife had a facial. The spa was beautiful and very relaxing. My masseuse was Amy and she was excellent! We will definitely be coming back! My wife who is a Thai masseuse was also very pleased with her masseuse as well. read more

First time here. Nice ambience. Great masseuse really knew her anatomy and how to work out the knots.

My husband recommended Artemis to me. Needed a quick pick me up service & this place was exactly what my soul needed! Went in for a massage & facial. Amy was my therapist. She was amazing!! I highly recommend going to Artemis & booking an appt with Amy! I promise she won't disappoint! :) read more

I've been going to Artemis for about a year now, attempting to make it a monthly visit (which I recommend). Prices are reasonable. The service is always superb, and I leave feeling much better. All the therapists I've had are great. My current therapist is Alexa, highly recommended. read more

I was in State College for Christmas and wanted to find a massage to help me with tension and pain from a recent car accident. My brother knows Whitney, the owner of Artemis, so he contacted her to make sure her therapists are trained in the appropriate techniques for my situation (I'm supposed to avoid deep tissue massage). I got set up for an appointment with Tony. The massage was EXACTLY what I was looking for, and I'm so grateful. Tony asked me a ton of questions, was very knowledgeable, and used a nice combination of the techniques I needed. I think it was a combination of trigger point, myofascial release, and positional release. Whatever it was, it was ideal. He relieved a lot of the pain near my scapula. The difference is really noticeable. I will be back to see him the next time I am in State College. If you are recovering from an injury or an accident, I highly recommend seeing Tony. read more

This is a great spot. And Umbayi is the best! The. Best! There's a greasy dive spot right outside before you enter the building to head up to Artemis, and yet, once inside the building you can't even tell the fast food place is there. You can almost smell the spa before you get in the elevator to head up. Or maybe it was just the anticipated bliss that made me think I was smelling essential oils. Either way, don't let the downtown location fool you. The place is beautiful and relaxing. It's not a day spa, so don't arrive expecting to lounge before or after your appointment, but enjoy the ambiance and amazing therapists they have on staff while you are there! read more

THIS studio. Kind of impossible to put my experience over the past four years into words but this business is way more than a place to simply get a massage. My first visit to Artemis was on the brink of a Lyme disease diagnosis and I was in such terrible pain and not sure what to do next. Artemis was the third studio I called (the first two I cannot even remember names of because the experience on the phone was that forgetful). The kindness I received from Artemis right from the start was overwhelming - Whitney gave me a comprehensive consultation over the phone, fit me in the same day and matched me perfectly with a massage therapist that would help best with my symptoms. Artemis was truly a huge catalyst for improvements in my health over the last few years. I have been to the studio for massage therapy so many times I cannot count, have joined in on meditation sessions and even use their essential oils products regularly - they are a game changer on a stressful day and especially during the Winter season! It's also so important to mention that the first massage I EVER had was here at Artemis - I have been to about 10 studios since I left the State College area and nothing can compare! This business continues to grow and thrive and still treats clients like they are not just clients, but friends. Local residents, make this your massage studio! Penn State alumni, extend your weekends back for Gameday to stop by Artemis for an appointment like I do! Amazing job Whitney and the team, so happy to have found you! read more

Just came across this review and realized that it needed a quick update. Artemis is still my absolute favorite massage studio- but it has grown! Moved to a larger studio with multiple rooms to cater to its growing clientele. Still has the same relaxing environment and color palette. Had a couples massage in the new space this last spring and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this studio! read more

I can't believe I didn't get around to posting a review sooner! After reading good reviews I got a couples massage for myself and my husband as a Christmas gift, and it was spectacular. A very beautiful and calming atmosphere, and the massages were great. Our therapists were incredibly in tune with how we reacted to certain types of massage and truly catered a unique massage experience for us. We could barely even talk afterwards, we just took some time in the Starbucks across the street to drink some water and smile at each other. I just got my husband another gift certificate for some end of the semester relaxation, and I hope I can squeeze in some time to go back again too! Oh, my therapist was Dane and I'm pretty sure my husband's was Amy but I only have Dane's business card so I can't be sure. ANYWAYS you should definitely choose Artemis if you're looking for an amazing massage experience in central PA read more

Got my second massage ever at Artemis and it was great. Very relaxing environment; very professional and friendly. I wanted a chance to de-stress and I definitely got that. Was only planning on getting one massage and ended up signing up for the bundle of 4 because I will definitely be going back for more! read more

Best massage I have ever had. I went to Bobbi. It was a Mother's Day gift from my son and his wife. I will definitely be booking more appointments with her. Couldn't have gotten a better gift! read more

High praise to Seth for the massage I received today! 2 weeks before my 50th birthday I fell and broke my ankle. I wondered if getting a birthday massage would be advisable, but still wanted to treat myself. I was prepared to feel like 75% of my body was massaged and relaxed but that my injured leg would be left untouched. Seth gave me a thorough and balanced massage and made every effort to give as much attention to my injured leg as he did to the other one. Post-massage, my injured leg feels great! I think the massage improved circulation and helped relax some of the muscles that are not getting their typical range of motion. I give Seth highest ratings for not being afraid to work around an injury, and do what he could to improve the situation. Thank you Artemis for hiring the best! read more

Hands-down the best services I've ever had. The decor is beautiful and soothing. I did the massage and facial package, best ever. The staff makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I felt great, relaxed and pampered. If you have stress or tension, you have to go to Artemis. read more

Today was my first time at Artemis. I usually go to Esspa but I received a gift certificate for a massage and facial so I decided to try it out. I am so impressed, and I will be taking all of my business to Artemis in the future. The massage was probably the best massage I've gotten in years and the entire experience was incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend Artemis. read more

Most of the reviews talk about how pleasant and friendly this place is. That's all true. The surrounds are subtly elegant, clean, calm and tasteful. I care less about that than having a masseuse who knows about the technical aspects of massage. After inquiring about sports massage I was matched with Mark, who will probably be responsible for allowing me to run, jump, cycle and sprint for another decade. Yes, this place is luxurious and pleasant, but it's also highly professional and serious: not a combination one finds too often. read more

My parents got me a massage for after I danced in THON 2016. My legs and lower back were still tight after about a week, and this massage was incredible and totally helped. I was with Umbayi and she was so nice and considerate. Would 100% go back. read more

As a newcomer to State College, I had no idea where to go for a massage. Based on the Yelp reviews, I chose Artemis, and I'm so glad I did! I saw Alexa for a deep tissue massage to address my neck and shoulder pain, and she was amazing. She checked in with me throughout to make sure the level of pressure was good, and spent a lot of time working on the problem areas. The massage definitely helped my pain level and increased my range of motion. I've had a number of massages over the years, but this is the only time I've been so impressed I immediately scheduled a follow-up massage. I can't wait to go back! read more

What a gem in state college! Five star service for less than five star prices. Professional and top notch service all around. I'm connected () to the owner of this wonderful little studio but my review is not biased! Multiple things drew me to having to try a massage here. I can be somewhat of a massage snob having spoiled myself at some amazing spas all over the place, and Artemis did not disappoint. They were accommodating, knowledgeable and experienced. I got a double massage with my mom here and we both have totally different preferences. They set us up with the right therapist, listened to our needs, and delivered right on point! The ambiance was great. The tables were toasty and warm on a cold rainy day. The essential oils were just right - I recommend the breathe mix! Had an all around great experience and will DEFINITELY be back when I'm in town. The owner should open up some additional locations in nearby towns!! Thanks so much for taking care of us See you next time!!! read more

I am a first time client and while trying to relax and wait for my therapist, the young brunette receptionist chatted loudly on her cell phone. She was on it when I arrived and had to put it down to check me in. She was definitely not talking to a client and was gossiping. This was so irritating and the last thing i would expect at such a nice studio. Ironically you cant call to make an appointment and have to request an appointment on their website. They email you back to set it up. I assumed this was because the spa wanted to keep a super calm atmosphere without phones. Guess not!! Luckily my massage was great and the studio itself was beautiful. read more
