What truly amazed me was the immediate feedback from Bethany about what she and I both observed during the session. It was amazing how we both sensed the same things and she had great insight on why and how to work with it. What I love about Bethany's practice is how thorough she was. I felt heard, cared for, and not rushed at all. Bethany also sent a very helpful follow up email summarizing what we observed from the session and I refer to it often. She also included information about the crystals she used and how I can use them in my daily life to continue alleviating the stress, etc. I experience every day.

TL;DR: Don't buy a gift certificate/card from this place…read more Zen and the City really appears to be set up for members and isn't equipped to interact with outsider customers. Unsurprisingly, most of the negative reviews are from people trying to deal with their gift certificates or gift cards since they are not able to provide reasonable service to people unfamiliar with their procedures. Throughout the process, I had to chase the owner, Gary, repeatedly over text and phone in order to get any information. A list of things I wish I knew before attempting to use a gift certificate here: I was alone in the building, not just the room, with an unknown man. Zen and the City is a therapist-owned establishment that has appointment-only booking for services. In light of this description, I probably should have known that I would be alone with my massage therapist. Except the website contains none of that information, which I only learned about after the appointment, so I was blindsided. My massage therapist was a very nice man who did his best to make me feel welcome and taken care of (Thank you, Anthony. You were the only good part of this whole experience!), but it was hard to set aside how uncomfortable it was to be alone with a strange man without knowing before that no one else would be there. The gift certificates (physical) and gift cards (e-cards) are redeemed in different ways. The website doesn't make it clear (either in the description or during the purchase) that physical gift certificates are only redeemable for a specific service, and that the gift certificates and gift cards are considered two different products. When I got the certificate for Zen and the City, neither my father (who bought this as a gift) nor I knew there was a difference between the two until after I had my appointment and was told otherwise. If you redeem the service-specific gift certificate for the wrong service by mistake, Zen and the City will not inform you of the mistake when you book your appointment and will instead pocket the remaining money without further services or refund, even after their error is pointed out to them. I suspect they would have prevented me from redeeming the gift certificate for something that was MORE money than the one I used, but when I accidentally used it from something that cost LESS, I was only told afterwards when I couldn't fix my mistake, or receive a refund for the balance. The initial confirmation text message is meaningless. It doesn't accurately reflect that an appointment's successfully been made (because you get a text regardless), and it does not result in you being correctly signed up to receive text messages. Instead, they will contact you by email, no matter your indicated preference (which they don't know anyway because they never ask for your preference). If there is a problem with your email address, they will not use your phone number to follow up. There will be no further attempt to contact you. I'll be honest and admit that I made quite a few mistakes in attempting to deal with Zen and the City, and I accept the responsibility of those mistakes. However, I think it's important for future potential customers to know beforehand that this is the kind of business that is happy to take advantage of your confusion, your mistakes, or your unexpected illness (check out their sick policy). It's up to you whether you want to risk giving this place your money and time.

I've tried several different spas, seen several different massage therapists over the years including a couple high end ones, and I am VERY picky about my therapist, with high standards. Tried my first full bod deep tissue massage with Skyy at his home spa (which was simple and cozy, not suffocating, with nice lighting and aromatherapy). Mindblown by the whole experience. He's very professional with great bedside manner, and if you ask, he'll explain why you have muscle tensions in certain areas. Deep knowledge of skeletal musculature and how it relates to health and the body. Very intuitive. Skyy made sure I felt comfortable and safe at all times, and before we started, of course asked about what areas I wanted to work on. What sold me was the fact that unlike most other massage therapists, you can tell he pours his heart into his work, and to him you're not just one of a dozen clients. Clearly it's not just a job for him- it's his calling. Most massage therapists have their own specialization of course, but they follow pretty much the same routine every time so nothing is really new, and you can tell it's all just habitual. Skyy allows his intuition to lead and (while still ensuring you're comfortable) will switch things up based on what your body needs. Never met anyone so gifted. He's not cheap but he charges what he's worth, because you definitely leave the table feeling like you got way more value than you paid for. It's an investment in your physical, mental, and emotional health. If you've never been to see him...you're missing out. Thank me later.

I was under the impression that they were more expensive than other places but once I began my membership I realized I was completely wrong. I automatically pay each month for a 60min massage and I can add additional massages at the membership rate if I get impatient and need another massage inbetween my regular appointments. I accidentally scheduled my appointment with Joe when I made my initial appointment and am so glad for that! He is amazing! When I say accidentally, I just mean that I intended to schedule with a female therapist but then selected an appointment time on Joe's schedule. They called me to confirm if that was okay and I just rolled with it. I have been seeing him at least once a month ever since. I have been getting massages since before I even had a license. Joe is the most consistent therapist I ever had. I prefer deep tissue massages and I get just that...for the entire 60 minutes unlike some massages where only here and there feels good. Joe is professional and always checks in before each session to determine if there are any specific spots he should focus on. Prior to leaving I always get my next appointment on the calendar. The customer service here is great. Because they are super small and don't always have someone at the desk, I typically have to leave a message when calling. I always receive a call back within the hour. I have had to call to reschedule an appointment or two and never had an issue. I highly recommend checking them out.

I wasn't sure how effective a long-distance Reiki session would be. Although I'd had a good experience once before with another Reiki healer (in-person, pre-Covid) I wondered if I would receive the same experience from someone working through a screen. Much to my pleasant surprise, because of the nature of how Reiki works, this didn't much matter. Steven's work with Reiki can still be felt very directly, despite not being in the same room. His process in each session involves an initial check-in to discuss anything going on, and from that initial chat, he can hone in with informed intention to rebalance, realign, recalibrate, basically whatever is needed for the client at that time. If you've never had a Reiki session, Steven makes sure all your questions are answered, and explains what you may expect to come up. At a basic level, its always a pleasant, relaxing, and beneficial experience. Anything beyond that depends on the day and what is happening with the client energetically, but its always positive and helpful. The actual applying of Reiki just involves you laying back, closing your eyes and relaxing. Steven expertly guides you through the process. Once he is finished, the session concludes with a short conversation to discuss what came up during Reiki, both in his experience, and in yours. That is always super helpful in gaining deeper insights and metabolizing whatever was discussed and worked with in that session. Steven is always very insightful, authentic, articulate, compassionate, always fully present, and has great refreshing energy. He makes it a priority to ensure you feel comfortable to explore literally anything that might be going on physically, emotionally, mentally, you name it. I always look forward to our sessions as regular energetic maintenance, and that has benefitted me in literally every aspect of my life. If you are looking for more clarity, self-empowerment, a better creative flow, relaxation, or anything else that feels 'off' and needs some adjustments, I cannot recommend Steven enough to help!
