I walked in carrying so much tension in my neck and shoulders and walked out feeling like I was on cloud nine! Nancy was wonderful.

After reading great reviews, I decided to take a quick bus ride to Smile Spa--and I'm so glad I did. I texted ahead right when I landed, and Molly was able to fit me in. She took the time to understand exactly where I was hurting and delivered one of the best massages I've ever had. She included hot stones and hot towels, explained everything before starting, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. If you're okay with deeper pressure, I highly recommend it--it made a huge difference, and I felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed afterward. I walked in exhausted and left feeling completely re-energized. The spa itself is simple but perfect for what I needed: real pain relief and genuine care. Molly is kind, attentive, and truly skilled at what she does. Burien is also a nice area with a great stretch of restaurants and shops nearby, making it an easy and worthwhile stop during a layover. Highly recommend texting or calling ahead--this was 100% worth it.

Consider me a convert!…read more After a stressful few weeks I found myself on the prowl for a great massage. Being a little naive on the subject, (I was a massage virgin) I thought I'd do some research on Yelp. After seeing a few posts in the events section about stress control and meditation classes, I looked up the Ascension Wellness Center. Not only do they offer treatments of various kinds for both mind and body, they offer exactly what I was looking for... massages! Des Moines isn't exactly a hop skip and a jump from Seattle so I had to be convinced this place was great. After speaking with Jason, (who posted the events I'd seen) I was sold. And by 'sold' I mean I got naked in front of a stranger, sold! My appointment was with a lovely woman named Sonia. Before the actual massage we sat together and filled out the necessary paperwork. I discussed problem areas and she helped work out a customized massage plan for me. I sincerely felt like she listened to what I needed and wanted from the experience. I'd heard stories about how massages can hurt, how it can be a little awkward to be naked, etc. This was totally not so with Sonia. I felt I was in good hands. Literally! In addition to pampering myself with a massage I also tried a cleanse called Aqua Detox. Initially I feared that I'd signed myself up for a colonic. (See my Tummy Temple review!) It's essentially a foot soak where toxins are released through the pores in your feet. It was seriously crazy. I've never seen anything like it but the procedure itself was fascinating. So if you're looking for a spot to get your back rubbed and your nails and hair done - skip out on Ascension. If you're looking for a place where your health is at the center of attention, I'd recommend giving this place a shot. The people who work there are personable and attentive, the spa itself is clean and inviting and it's still a small enough operation where you feel like you're their only priority. Stay tuned - I think I'm headed back to try some meditation and hypnosis next time!

I found Tonus because I purchased a livingsocial voucher. I'm glad I did because the first…read moretherapist who massaged me was fantastic. I forgot her name, but all of a sudden she's no longer there. Then I found out my former therapist Sandi who used to own her own massage business also worked there. She had a strange schedule so it was difficult to get an appt with her, then she moved away. So I tried others they were fine. Some were, some not to my liking. I heard the owner was fantastic, but I was never able to get an appt with her. It's more clinical than a day spa feel, but the place is clean, and comfortable. I decided to purchase a package deal they offered. Everything was fine pre-pandemic. But 2020 came around and we had to wear mask while getting massaged. I normally would be fine with except, I can't wear mask due to my asthma. So the last time I came in for a session, I was able to remove my mask faced down, then face up I had to wear my mask. All of a sudden I started wheezing. I tried to enjoy my massage as much as I could. I ended up sick with asthma the rest of the week, I messaged the business to let them know, and the owner was gracious enough to not only refund my last treatment, but the rest of the sessions I prepaid. Sad, because this place is only a 10 minute drive from my home. I ended up finding a therapist who would massage me unmasked, but the drive was 30 mins. Darn Corona!

I can tolerate a lot of pressure and she hits it right on the spot. She can feel the spots that are tight and works on them gently, but enough to loosen the muscle. She also always makes sure that pressure is okay and that it's not hurting me. I also enjoy talking with her. Sometimes I like my massages quiet but most of the time I like to talk. She's great to talk to and it's it awkward. One of my favorite parts is she has me take a deep breath in at the end which is great because I always forget to breathe in this way so it forces me to really relax. I'm so happy and lucky that I found my next massage therapist.
