One of my favorite things is that they use a warm table and tuck you in nice and cozy while they are massaging. Whether you're looking for Swedish or Deep Tissue, RM has many therapists with the array of experience you need. The prices are fair, the massages are relaxing, and the people are friendly.

I have had 2 massages before this experience (basic massages at other spas) and this was my least…read morefavorite. I booked stone massages for my friend and I to celebrate our birthdays. I chose this place because they had availability and had great reviews online. The two main reasons I did not like the experience is because we received the wrong massages. Instead of stone massages we received standard massages. Our masseuse was very apologetic when she realized the error while checking us out. I appreciate her confirming that because I otherwise would have thought that's just what stone massages are like. The second reason is because it was hard to relax. There are two massage rooms and the waiting room. We unfortunately could hear everything in the next room because the other masseuse talked very loudly to her patients. All this being said, the massage itself worked. I had some crazy tension in my neck/shoulders area and Brogan worked them right out! She was a professional with the massage and owning the mix-up with massage types. I really loved working with her and would still come back if she had an opening.

This was perhaps in the top 5, if not the best massage I've ever received. My partner and I were in…read moreMaine to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. I wanted to relax and deal with some neck pain, and after a lot of research, I landed on SOMA. They were able to fit us in on my birthday proper, and although they didn't have joint rooms for a proper couples massage, I was happy to know he was getting pampered down the hall. They were also accommodating and able to push our appointment a bit when we realized we were running late. Amy was a dream. She integrates holistic bodywork into her practice, and it was just what I needed. She was so intuitive and understood exactly what kind of pressure and strokes I needed, and I left feeling so refreshed and like I was walking on a cloud. Amy was very friendly and warm and we chatted a bit but not too much; just the perfect amount. My partner also really enjoyed his massage and felt looser and more agile. He had one of the male therapists (maybe Dominic - sorry we can't recall!). The spa lobby is quiet and serene and the massage rooms are set up for total relaxation. You can customize things like table temperature and sounds to make it the best for you. Parking is also readily available on the street. Highly recommend! If we were local I'd become a regular.

Dominic allowed me to choose a genre of music to listen to which was such a nice touch. I had never had that experience before. We chatted prior to the massage about what I was hoping to get out of the massage and certain areas I wanted to focus on. The massage itself was great and I felt so much better afterwards. As always, the time went so quickly. No complaints at all. There is some free street parking. The entrance is handicap accessible, as are the rooms and bathroom. I will definitely be coming back!

After a long hiatus, my back issues crept back up and I started looking desperately for someone to help here in Southern Maine. Amy - like everyone else in the area - was completely booked up on the Friday/Saturday that I was hunting for. But after she could tell I was desperate, she STAYED LATE on Saturday to squeeze me in. And it was seriously awesome. Fantastic, relaxing, thorough massage. Now we communicate about appointments via text. She contributes to the pittie rescues in the area. She lets me know when she has an opening on the weekends (to support my work schedule). She asks about my pets. She laughs at my jokes. She offers me protein shakes or water when the massage is over. She warns me before she puts on the hot stones (even though I wish she didn't, the shock is awesome). She uses Square for CC payments, which is convenient as all get out. Oh yah, she gives rockstar massages, too. I always feel like a million (super relaxed, worthless for a couple of hours) bucks after leaving her office. If you're after deep tissue, this isn't the place...but if you need an excellent massage that will leave you dozing off occasionally, you must go see Amy. I've probably been in to see her a half dozen times already. And I'll keep going back.
