I've been seeing Kat at Magnolia for about six months now for pain relief in my lower back. I…read moretried a couple of the "big" spas first, plus one (disastrous) visit to a smaller salon/spa. I then decided that both the price and the less-personal settings were not for me. I have finally settled on Magnolia and Kat because I get a truly personalized massage from her...she always listens to my concerns and then focuses on them, rather than just doing a rehearsed routine. Kat really has a talent for relaxation! Sometimes her hands are moving so slowly that I can barely feel the movement, but can feel the pressure. I usually nod off at some point during the session and end up with my face a drooly mess. She doesn't seem to mind though. Highly recommended.

My friend and I saw Kat for a half-hour deep tissue massage a couple of weeks ago. We were…read moreamazingly able to schedule these the day of. I hear a lot of remarks on gender and size with regards to masseuses, and until recently I worked exclusively with a larger therapist who was able to dish out some major force. That said, Kat gave one of the best deep-tissues I've ever had, and only in 30 min. My shoulders, neck, and back are still feeling released and free. My only regret is not being able to fit a longer session into my schedule. She's also super friendly, and her studio has an easeful, relaxing environment. The price was very reasonable, $40 for 30min. Our only regret is that we weren't sure if we should tip... there wasn't a tip request on the Square app, but I'm never sure with these things.

His "sanctuary" studio is inviting and relaxing. He took the time to connect with me, and learn about me before he began. As a spiritual seeker myself, I felt connected to his healing hands and was renewed upon leaving. Christopher truly has been given the gift of a healer. Book a 90 minute massage with him and you will not regret it. Christopher not only gives a great massage with his healing hands, his energy exudes kindness & authenticity. I was pleasantly surprised by his level of skill and professionalism coupled with his real connection to spirituality. I was just looking for a massage to provide some basic sore muscle relief but what I found through Christopher at Guided Touch, was a healing and cleansing of my body, mind, and spirit. Thank you for sharing your gift with me!

Chris is awesome! His space is really cool and quirky - love everything about the experience.read more

Woman who performed the service (pretty sure she's also the owner) nice, and told me she had been doing this for about 25 years. Still not what I would consider fun (I'll never understand people who ENJOY the Brazilian process)- but the results spoke for themselves. Baby smooth skin- and my skin didn't get cranky afterwards like it always does after wax. HIGHLY recommend sugaring, as well as this woman and her business.

When I found Tamara at RASA SPA it was game over -- for both myself and my son. We are regulars! We both enjoy massages once per month. How can I describe Tamara and her massage services? Tamara is welcoming and kind - but that is only the beginning. Even though she knows me well, Tamara still asks me at every session how I am feeling and "what do "I" want to work on today"? Tamara adjusts each session to my needs, the pressure, the movements, the temperature, the lighting and most importantly, pays attention to my mood state and whether or not I need to chat or want silence. I am not the easiest client - things hurt, my neck isn't always comfortable and Tam will do everything she can to make sure I am OK. I don't have words to describe how wonderful this experience has been for me and for my son. We regularly purchase multiple packages so we can take advantage of the "buy 5 get one free" specials, so we always have a massage on the schedule. Ahhhh! Please don't fill up Tamara's schedule but at the same time, please fill up Tam's schedule because I want her to stay at Rasa! Enjoy!

My last visit was the other day and while I love my massage therapist my Rasa experience has changed. Not the warmest reception. Fine.

This is not something that happens in a day. Or a week. Or a month. This is just neglectful. In an environment promoting health and vitality...ceilings are peeling in showers.

Before checking out and heading home, my boyfriend and I decided to get hot stone massages. I have received many massages and this one was THE BEST. Rebekah, my masseuse, is so beyond knowledgeable. I love how she asked me what type of pressure I like, if I had any areas of concern, and explained her normal technique beforehand. She was able to get out kinks in my back and neck while also giving me a soothing, enjoyable massage. In my experience, a massage is either pleasant but doesn't do anything or tough/somewhat painful, but effective. Rebekah takes the good from both ends to have the perfect massage. She was also extremely knowledgeable about muscles and stretches I can do to help where I get tight. The massage felt very tailored to me and what I need which was very much appreciated. My boyfriend had the same feedback about his technician and said it was the best massage he's had too. The spa is SUPER clean and the rooms are very private and quiet. I couldn't hear any noise from any other rooms. If I lived closer, I would come again and again. Highly recommend August Moon Spa and highly, highly recommend Rebekah!!
