I had a 60 minute massage with Rita. It was fantastic. I have had about 8 in my lifetime and I have to say that this was truly the best yet. I felt that she was very intuitive during my massage as I have a lot of sports related injuries and overused muscles. She went right to those areas without me even having to tell her. She also gave me a few pointers regarding my piriformis syndrome. Those alone have helped tremendously with the constant issues I was having. I liked the fact that she was not constantly engaging me in conversation. The building is easily accessible and the rooms are beautiful. Very conducive to relaxing and allowing myself to relax. Which is extremely difficult for me due to my job, etc. I would (and do) highly recommend Rita and Emerald Isle Massage! read more

If you are looking to unwind and relax on the island, this is the place! I am so thankful that Rita was able to get my husband and I scheduled for a couples massage on such short notice. Living with chronic pain, I have had many different massages and therapies, but I can honestly say that this was the most relaxing experience. Rita and Kathy were both fantastic and welcoming. Even during these unpredictable times with the pandemic (and the hurricane that hit last night) they were amazing and made us feel extremely comfortable. Thank you both again! We will most definitely be back! :) read more

I went for a wonderful massage before our daughter's wedding, and it was so wonderful that, by the end of our stay 3-4 additional members of our family got massages with either Rita or Athena! Then, my husband and I each had a 2nd massage before leaving the island to head home! 'Nuff said. Spectacular massages and once the word spread within the family, we kept making more appointments! Thanks so much Rita & Athena! Great massages! read more

I have referred friends to Rita and I would definitely recommend others to Rita Tanguay for an excellent massage! read more

I have been seeing Rita for regular massages for over a year now. She listens to me when I tell her about my areas of concern and she is focused on the details with every session. She is reasonably priced and excellent at what she does. She is worth every penny and any drive time to get to see her. I have referred many of my friends in the area to her and I highly recommend her. read more
