I had a very frustrating and confusing experience with Orchid Massage. I called in the morning and…read morescheduled a 90-minute appointment for noon, and the woman I spoke with confirmed it. Shortly after, I received a text from an unfamiliar number saying they were busy and couldn't talk, which was already confusing since I didn't know who it was. When I asked who I was texting, the response was unclear and a bit abrupt. Eventually I realized it was the massage place, but the communication was very difficult due to the language barrier and lack of clarity. Around 11:00, I was told they could only do a 60-minute massage if I came immediately, so I adjusted my schedule and arrived early. When I got there, the therapist used Google Translate to tell me she had another client at 12:30 and implied that if I had come earlier (which was never clearly communicated), she could have done the full 90 minutes. At that point, after the confusing communication and change of plans, I decided to leave. The space itself also felt a bit off to me--it had a strong chemical cleaning smell and didn't feel particularly welcoming or relaxing. Overall, the lack of clear communication and inconsistency made this a disappointing experience. I wasn't able to receive the service I had originally booked, and the entire interaction felt disorganized.

Mystic Mermaid is inside the 3rd building on the right hand-side #2860 is marked on the black awning of the entrance.

Take the elevator up to 3, hang a right, go down the corridor, the second door on the right is suite 301. Ok, so now for my review. I bought a set of 3 Hot Stones massages from Groupon. I have to say I was a little apprehensive about buying a bundle (without having ever used this business) but after trying my 1st massage today, I have to say that I am actually looking forward to my next two sessions! I tried to first contact Shari on FB, and then I tried email...but I finally had to call her to reach her. I don't think she is online much...which is ok. This was not the typical massage I am used to. The best way I can describe her practice is: 'a hybrid between a chiropractor and a masseuse". Shari uses two techniques "Ortho-Bionomy" and "Chapman's Neuro-Lymphatic Reflexes" that are very mechanical in nature. It reminded me of when I used to go to physical therapy, to heal a damaged shoulder ligament. This is truly a place where you come when you want to heal chronic back pain or when you truly need your knots to be worked out of your muscles! I was pretty relaxed during the massage, but I had to voice my needs thorough the session, I can never fully relax when I am engaged in conversation. Also, as you can see, the room is very soothing and relaxing, but there is still quite a bit of natural light filtering in from the window. So this is not the 'dark' environment that I usually prefer for deep relaxation massages. I want to reiterate that I am very satisfied with the service she provided! I think that she offers a service that is far more elaborate than the classic 'relaxing rub down in the dark'. Shari has over 25 years of experience as a masseuse! She, herself, suffers from chronic back pain; that's how she was first introduced to Ortho-bionomy by a friend. The benefits were so great that she went on to study it herself and has incorporated it into her practice. She is very personable and the office looks very soothing and relaxing. Both sounds of crashing waves & classic instrumental music was playing softly...which helped to drown out environmental sounds. I will update my review after my 2nd and 3rd visit. But so far I am glad Groupon led me to this lady.

My experience started with my husband scheduling an hour massage for me for our anniversary…read more Unfortunately, the same day of my appointment we tested and the results came back positive. So the right thing in our mind is to let them know, regardless of the late notice. Understanding that this is a business I totally understand and felt like us explaining that we were sick, we were still wanting to let them know because we don't want to spread it. We were still charged the 50% for even letting them know, which I would think is an emergency. Now come to think of it, the only solution I felt like I could have happened was to just come in there sick with COVID without being transparent. It was also seeming like we HAD to reschedule or they would charge our card for the full amount. There was no consideration, customer service, or understanding at all regarding being sick. In addition, I wish there was a way if I schedule a full hour massage and I am running late (with communication) to get a massage for the remaining 45 mins isn't used? And I want to make it clear I understand being late or sick with COVID isn't anyones fault, but just wanted a little of consideration. Edit to add: Image is showing the time stamp of leaving this establishment - owner incorrectly stated I was 45 minutes late to my appointment, however to my understanding my appointment was at 11:45am so by the time I asked the front desk and get on the elevator, go in the back, get denied service, call my husband, and go out to take the picture it was 12:20pm. From my calculations that is 25 minutes, again ma'am what happened to the allotted time I was booked for... the full hour.. You just added an extra 20 minutes. So, no I don't understand...

As a result I feel more comfortable driving and the numbness isn't that bad anymore. At the same time it was only one session. So far it's in progress I can only say good things about her.
