I recently came here for a massage after receiving a gift certificate for the holidays. This place…read moreis very thorough. They create a profile when you arrive, offering "spa water" as I call it (water infused with cucumbers, yum!) as you complete the paper. Your profile serves for the staff to understand if you have any concerning areas you want particular attention paid to or if there are certain areas you do not wish to have massaged. They also ask the purpose of your massage, which I thought was pretty useful information. The building itself is awesome. It is a older house that has been decorated to feel like one is in a zen garden. Very cozy and peaceful and immediately helps one to relax. The massage tables are warmed, which is also a nice touch. Lisa, who was my massage therapist, was excellent! She focused on problem areas in my shoulders in lower back, but also noted that I must have been left handed given the knots in my forearm and worked those out too. She was very attentive to pressure and made sure that I was not in pain or discomfort. Given the fact that I had just been on a 10+ hour flight my body was very achy, but after my 45 minute session with Lisa, I felt amazing! It has been two days since my visit, and I still am feeling the benefits in my range of motion and muscles, particularly after a work out. My 45 minute session was $80, which includes tip. Given the comprehensive quality of my session this seems very reasonable. This is the best massage I have had in a very long time. I am already planning my return visit!

The studio is really nice and clean and the massage room was so relaxing. They had these lights that draped down the wall and the massage table was already warmed up for me. The Massage Therapist that helped me is Marilyn. I have have had a knots that's causing my shoulder muscles to pinch. I wanted a deep massage to get the knots out so I would not feel pain on my right shoulder. Marilyn worked through the massage and I have not felt the pinch in my shoulders since I've left and also I have a better range of motion on my right arm. My arm has been so tingly and sore for weeks but now I feel I will not have that problem anymore. I will definitely come back once more before I fly back home. I highly recommend this place! Marilyn also gave after care tips! Awesome massage and excellent service.

When we walked in, we were happily greeted by the women at the front and asked to complete a short survey of the focal point of massage and pressure on an iPad. We were then brought back to the couples massage room. **They are very quick and do not give much time to get undressed, but friendly and professional when knocking to come in. We started off laying face down with a big towel on our backs. We were massaged with the towel on our backs for a little bit, and then to the massage oils where the towel was removed. My masseuse made sure the pressure and comfort was good throughout the massage We did have the hot stones as an option, however, the hot stones didn't last more than a few minutes. I wish they rotated out the stones and it was a little bit longer as this is very relaxing. I was not expecting the little face massage that I received. However, it was nice to release the lymph nodes and the sinus cavity. I also didn't expect the slapping of my body limbs the massage was done. This was definitely not expected and removed the relaxing aspect of the massage. Overall it was a great massage and I would come back

I had a 60 minute Swedish Massage with Elle at Body of Needs Spa yesterday and have finally found my new MT and Spa home!! The experience begins with being welcomed by their delightful receptionist who offered me water and had me fill out their very detailed intake form that asks everything from specific areas of focus, lotion or oil preference, amount of pressure and all the things your MT needs to tailor your massage. Elle came out to get me and brought me in to a very tranquil treatment room. There is a whiteboard on the wall and Elle used it to note where I wanted her to focus, any thing that was important to me for my massage and then she stepped out so that I could undress. As she started the massage, the pressure was a little lighter than I wanted so I told her and she immediately adjusted. She really worked on my problem areas and gave a great full body massage!! I'm a little sore today, but in the best possible way!! I immediately scheduled my next appointment with Elle as soon as I got in the car; a 90 minute this time,. Their online booking makes it so easy to book, reschedule, or cancel your appointment. Needless to say Elle and Body of Needs are my new go to!!

This spa is hidden on Main Street in Middletown and is absolutely perfect. You are greeted by the receptionist when you walk in and offered tea or water while you wait. There are several private service rooms. I had a 90 minute deep tissue with Mackenzie. She was excellent at determining where I needed attention and how much pressure. The room was relaxing with the proper lighting and music. The table was heared. Prices were reasonable. I am happily sore and feel much better! I will absolutely be back to see Mackenzie again!!! I think I found my new local spot.

I spoke to Britnee and let her know the pain I was having after the accident and asked if she can assist me. She said yes but only after I get cleared by my doctor, which was completely understandable. I got cleared and made an appointment, Britnee suggested the 60 minute upper body massage. When I arrived to the place, parking was easy, I got to the door and Britnee was there to greet me. She offered me water and escorted me to the room. It was a very clean and relaxing atmosphere. Before I get to the massage portion of the review, I have a big issue when it comes to me coming in contact with other people's germs, I even avoid a lot of nail salons due to cleanliness, and when I say I felt so comfortable laying my face on the table, it was very refreshing. So now let's discuss the massage portion, as mentioned above I went there due to pain after a car accident, I was concerned before starting that she would be too rough around the most sensitive places, but that wasn't the case. Britnee played a guided meditation for me, as per request, and I relaxed, meditated and it was just so great. She used a CBD oil on me that was also very helpful. She was gentle where she needed to be, very professional, and I can tell she really pays attention to her clients needs and does her best to make the relaxed and have an overall great experience. Since my massage I feel like my muscles are less tense, and over a lot more relaxed. Although I don't have anything negative to say, I would say that it would be great if walk in was an option, maybe one day it will be. Next time you want a massage, call Gifted Hands and ask for Britnee, you won't regret it. Overall I had a very relaxing and fun experience. Britnee was so great to talk to as well.
