I was in quite a lot of pain so I was in search of a place that does a chair massage that wasn't…read morethe mall. I called around and found Jill at Serenity. She was able to squeeze me in within the hour. The neck, shoulder, head and lower back pain I was having was addressed. Jill is a listener and she will highlight and address the body parts that are ailing you. All-in-all it was a very positive experience. She also does traditional massages but I can't lay on my stomach.

Chris is great. He knows an awful lot about massage. I've seen him for a long time I was finally…read moreable to get back in to see him today and I'm a difficult one to work on and he did a wonderful job. But that's who he is he will always try to work with you and what your needs are

I have severe neck and back issues to the point of constant pain. MRI shows only surgery "might"…read morehelp, but unlikely. I went to Chris at Amma-Shiatsu because I needed someone who truly knows and understands the muscles of the human body. I also wanted a deep, therapeutic massage and not a relaxing one. I can't even explain how much Chris has helped me so far. I am now able to walk twice as far as before and the pinched nerve in my neck is getting much better. I have cut the use of pain pills in half and life isn't looking as bleak anymore as it was just a month ago. He knows his stuff! He also makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease during treatment. I fully expect to eventually be close to if not at 100% in time. So glad I didn't opt for surgery. He's a miracle worker in my opinion!

The lack of massage during a body treatment is sorely disappointing. The pressure was too light to…read morerelieve any stress, except for the scalp massage that was nice. The gloves she wore irritated my skin. Her hands shook, like she was scared to touch me. They obviously have an esthetician doing body work, instead of a massage therapist. She never even touched my lower back or glutes and she accidentally poked my vagina twice during draping. The company called to say they would like to make it up to me, but when I called back the manager was out so I left a message and she never called back. Avoid this place.

I have been coming for a massage monthly for some time now. Over two years of monthly membership. I…read morealways look forward to my massages. I am doing another update considering what recently happened. A month ago I had an appointment. I got a call from Spavia that my masseuse was not going to be able to make the appointment. We were able to set up a quick appointment for that weekend. That day came around and I got a call a couple hours before the appointment. The new masseuse had an emergency was wasn't going to be able to make it. This wasn't the norm and they were happy to offer additional changes to try and make up for the situation. It was really nice for them to offer the options that they did. They say this doesn't happen often and felt bad. Here is the normal massage breakdown. Warmed massage tables call my name on a cold Iowa evening. Darkened hallways start to set the mood. Electric candles line the floor to help guide you to where you need to be. Once you are in the locker room you can change into your robe and slippers. This is not required with every service they offer. You have your own locker which you set the lock. They have 2 little curtained off changing rooms. The wall hooks have broken over time, but if I can I just use the roomy bathroom to change. Once you have all your personal items locked away you can step into the lounging area. 4-5 different places to sit. Electric fireplace on the wall. Some books, gentle music, little water fountain. All the things to help you relax. They have warming neck wraps and hot water for tea. If you are early enough for your appointment, then take advantage and chill. When your time comes you get called back. My personal preference is one individual for body massages. I have to book months in advance to make sure I am getting him. I dont want to share, but its Eddy. He is amazing. He listens to me and remembers my preferences. After heavenly treatment you are escorted back to the lounge. You can hang out and decompress or you can head out. As of my last visit in Sept '24 they just updated the furniture in there. It is not really comfy as before. I have tried another service here, but prefer my monthly membership booking a massage each time. Read less
