Yelp reviewers gave them great feedback so I took a chance and made an appointment. Chortie was amazing! Kind and friendly, she made the whole 90-minute massage pleasant with just the right blend of gentleness and firmness. She could tell I wasn't much of a talker, so quietly checked in from time to time when transitioning to a new muscle group. The room was clean and fresh, the table warm and soft, and just the right amount of scents and sounds to create a calming atmosphere. The spa was easy to get to with ample street parking right in front of the building (bring coins for parking meters). Lots of little shops in the neighborhood if you want to make an afternoon of it.

I've been experiencing so much exercise related pain recently and haven't had a massage in a long time. The sports deep tissue massage released all the knots built up. I told her what was hurting and what I wanted priority time on and it was perfect-- the pressure, technique and relief was so healing. This is my new go to place. Worth every penny.

Best massage I have ever had and I highly recommend to everyone! Steve is clearly #1, and Sharmese is a close second. Both Steve and Sharmese are very experienced and spend the time with you to understand any issues before you get a massage. They are truly amazing! The space is crystal clean, welcoming, and comfortable and every precaution taken. I have never had any issue about safety. Both Steve and Sharmese's approach is warm, kind, and compassionate and they take the time and each has extensive expertise to understand and meet each client's needs and goals. The massage is always outstanding ... their skill is incredible! It was immensely therapeutic for me as it helped me greatly reduce my stress and relax deeply, as well as decrease my neck and back pain and increase my flexibility. I would strongly recommend both Steve and Sharmese at Restorative Massage and Wellness. Steve is a thoughtful, dedicated therapist that provides personalized treatment to his clients. He draws from a wealth of knowledge and experience along with completing the full doctorate program in physical therapy so Steve is beyond masseuse trained. I would highly recommend Steve to friends and family. I am regularly booked with Steve and find out well in advance if he is on vacation so I can book Sharmese as a backup. The desk staff is also excellent in working to get you in, if there are no openings, and you are waiting for a cancellation. True professional staff all around! I met Isaac my first time here who is the owner and a licensed trained masseuse too. Isaac treats the staff professionally because he truly understands what it takes to be #1 in this field! Parking on Washington Street is free, and if you cannot find a space, the side street has plenty of spaces as a backup.

Because it was the…read morefirst thing in a while that helped my back pain, I immediately scheduled another appt for the next week with the woman who gave me my massage. On the day of the appointment, I was asked to come in earlier. I wasn't able to, but said I could come in later. She agreed. I made the mistake of assuming it would be with the same person, I was wrong. The massage was just ok, it did not hit any of the same spots as the massage by the first woman, and I honestly left feeling upset and more tense than when I got there. I realize this is a first world problem, but I don't spend money on myself often. Not to mention it did nothing to help my pain, the whole reason I booked a second appointment.

I mentioned I had Fibromyalgia and she instantly asked if I was in the middle of a flair up (first time I've been asked that!). I very much appreciated it. I did the deep tissue massage and it was certainly that. She found the tight muscles and worked them out until I felt like rubber. It was a full body massage so I had to tell her to go lighter on my arms and she accommodated well. Her space is located inside of a communal building for hair dressers, waxers, and spas. Go all the ways to the back and to the right. Her space is incredibly private and you forget that you're inside this larger building space. The best part? Her prices simply cannot be beat.

This is one of the worst places that I have ever gone to…read more First, the place is hidden behind a store. When you walk up, it's an old house, that's not in very good shape. You walk in to the main waiting area to "check in" and pay. If it's not too busy, there may be 1 or more providers just hanging around in the front room...something you never see in a more traditional massage facility. If you have an appointment with a specific provider, she will will escort you to a room. If you don't have an appointment, you will be assigned one of the providers hanging out in the front room. NOTE: There's a reason they're hanging around in the front room and don't have set appointments...clients don't wish to schedule with them...so you get what you pay for. You are escorted to one of their rooms. I have been in several of the rooms, including one in the basement. More times than not, these rooms are not the nicest. And then there's the massage. What can I say...they are nothing more than a basic rub-down. Although to be fair, of the handful of massages that I have had there, I did have one provider who provided an above average massage. I'm not sure if all of the providers are licensed massage therapists. Perhaps you should ask to see the provider's license when you enter the room? At any rate...this should be the last place you should go for a massage.

I had originally joined because I followed Ebonee from Massage Envy in Dedham and Quincy, and she moved to Elements in Needham. I was able to get one massage from Ebonee and then she was no longer at Elements in Needham. I was able to find two very senior comparable therapists to Ebonee, Steve Therrien, LMT and Shermese Whitsey, LMT. Steve was absolutely outstanding as a masseuse, and Steve was the most senior therapist at this Needham location. Shermese was excellent too, and she is also no longer here. I found out that both masseuses are now at Restorative Massages and Wellness, LLC in Norwood, and the owner, Isaac, is a masseuse himself, and he treats everyone at this location incredibly well. The location is incredibly clean, and the staff that works here is very professional too. I would not have cancelled my membership had Steve and Shermese stayed at Elements Massage in Needham. I will miss Lauren who works at the front desk.
