When she started Anise Moon in Latham, I couldn't wait to book an appointment, but my mom was visiting and I wanted to treat her first. She had a great experience, but I'll let her share her own story. Months later I was finally home and in a place where I could take a little time for pampering. Altranise was easy to book with and very nice when I got there. My only complaint is that the location is a little hard to find (it's super easy to drive to, but the address wasn't visible), but while I was there, the landlord was installing a sign for The Wellness Cottage now that all of the rooms are filled. Voila--fixed! Altranise made me feel very comfortable and I could tell she was genuinely interested in my past and current health to inform her work. The room was really comfortable and my 90 minute massage was heaven. She knew the exact areas I needed more attention on and I felt like she had the perfect amount of pressure. I only wanted a normal Swedish massage--I'm wimpy and can't handle deep tissue, but I know she would be great working however her client needed help, she really listens. I will definitely go back and my company is talking to Anise Moon about hiring her to do chair massage for the team at the office!

I recently went into purchase skin care and they had one of my products but not the other. I always like to buy local so when they offered to order the other product I was happy. I pre paid for my product and they said it would take about a week to get. I had to call two weeks later and it still had not come in. They were very suspicious saying " it is not their policy to accept prepayment for orders" which really made me uncomfortable. They said they needed to check with someone who orders products. Two more weeks go buy and I had not been contacted. I stopped into see the status and the product was on the shelf. Again the person was suspicious like I was trying to get a product for free or something. I would not have pre paid if I knew this was going to be a hassle. The gals who took my order initially were very pleasant so it was not all bad. I also understand that there are people out there who would try to get something for free.

She understands the body and genuinely cares about her clients providing thorough consultation, even recommending exercises and stretches to alleviate pain and discomfort.

She is reasonably priced (especially if you become a member) and very flexible. She never seems rushed and really gives it her all. Highly recommend to anyone in need of massage!

I had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience with Lisa Kay. When I booked my…read moreappointment, I clearly explained that I needed a customized massage focused on my lower back due to herniated discs. I also filled out all intake forms in detail and repeated my concerns in person before the session began. Despite this, the session did not reflect what I had requested. She spent a significant amount of time working on areas I did not ask for, including my upper body and even working over the blanket at the start. I gave it about 15 minutes, assuming she would eventually focus on my lower back, but that never really happened. When she eventually moved toward my lower body, she continued working over the blanket. I politely asked her to remove it so the massage could be more effective, and she responded with a loud, sarcastic laugh, which made me feel uncomfortable and not taken seriously. I then asked her to focus specifically on my lower back and avoid my legs, since that was the reason for my visit. She responded in a dismissive and sarcastic tone, claiming I had asked for hips and legs work, which I never did. The interaction made me increasingly uncomfortable. Specially with the several statements starting as "Well, JUST SO YOU KNOW... lies lies" At that point, I clearly asked her to stop the session because I no longer felt comfortable or safe. She did not immediately respect my request and continued to push back before eventually walking away with an attitude. Overall, I did not feel heard, respected, or safe during this experience. I would not recommend booking with her, especially if you have specific medical needs or expect clear communication and professionalism. I came in for a medical massage, but instead experienced unprofessional treatment, possibly discriminated against, and a session focused largely on irrelevant upper back work. Don't waste your time, specially if you are a person of color, she definitely is a Karen, possibly wanting to make America great again.
