Happiest day of my life! Essentials Day Spa played a big role in preparing me physically and mentally for my wedding. :)

I recently started coming to Essentials Day & Med Spa and absolutely love this place. Particularly I'd like to relay my gratitude for William. He is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever went to. I specifically got a specialty massage package before my wedding day this past October. I was so stressed and nervous leading up to the wedding along with long-standing muscle aches. William did such a fantastic job. I seriously felt like a rejuvenated person and bride-to-be. Anxiety/Stress GONE! Aches GONE! He definitely helped make me get into the right mindset for my big day. Forever grateful. Now I make it a point to get a massage monthly for not only my physical health, but mental/spiritual health.

tl;dr 100% recommend pampering yourself with a caviar facial and a spa pedicure This was my first spa experience since the pandemic started. Sabrina was my esthetician for the caviar facial. In the beginning, she asked if I was interested in a educational or relaxing experience. I asked a bunch of questions, and she gladly explained everything she was doing. There was also a very nice shoulder massage. The caviar facial (creamy colored mask) has anti-aging properties, and left my face feeling hydrated and smooth like a baby. The nail salon operates separately from the facial/massage area, and handle their own appointments. There was a decent amount of people getting their nails done. I was 20 minutes early for my appointment and they were still able to take me in. The salon chairs look gorgeous and new. I felt comfortable and everything was super clean! The spa pedicure comes with callus remover and foot/leg massage. My feet and legs are so soft! Very happy with the service here! For the facials, you're able to leave tip on your card. For the nail salon, it's best to bring cash for tip.

Dry Sauna reset!

This is my new go to spa! My experience was great! I booked the full spa package for my first visit and they did not disappoint! I received a reminder email and text message a few days prior and a courtesy call the day before my appointment! The customer service was excellent! Upon arrival I was greeted with a warm welcome and given the key to my locker. The robe provided was super comfortable and it smelled amazing in there! I'm super big on cleanliness so I was very pleased with the superb upkeep and condition of every room, especially the locker room! It was a super relaxing experience! I loved the whirlpool and the wet sauna! The dry sauna also had a honeycomb pot full of water and a steam releaser that was activated once you poured in the water! My deep tissue massage was amazing ! I would recommend Katrina or Angelica for a deep tissue! I also got my very first customized facial from Erika! She was very knowledgeable and super easy going! She even offered some recommendations for skincare items based on my skin type after the facial. Lastly, I enjoyed the comfy VIP lounge and got to relax and sip my complimentary mimosa! I have added monthly facials in addition to my biweekly massages as part of my my self care routine !

They did not respond via email until Sept 28th. I was told they had limited times and days. So after conversing back and forth via email she provided a date and in which I responded would work. On the same day I confirmed with her and she never responded back. I sent an email confirming the appointment was still taking place on the morning of my appointment. In an abundance of caution I went up there the day of my appointment just in case and no one was there. I'm assuming because they have already been paid for the service that they feel they don't need to be professional which is really unfortunate. So beware if you buy a gift certificate for someone for this business.

I went to dinner this past weekend and was in so much pain I groaned getting into my seat. My…read morefriend told me that I should get a massage but I told her that I didn't have much money. She told me about this great inexpensive massage guy that did wonders for her feet. I felt so bad that I just wanted to go home, take some pain medications, and crawl into bed. That's when she told me I didn't have anymore excuses because Nova Massage Therapy will only come to my house. I gave in and after dinner gave them a call. The owner, Sam Kline, picked up, gave me the rates, told me they only take cash / or paypal, and within one hour was at my home. I was a little nervous having a total stranger come to my house. I live in the country, I have a lot of animals, in a really small place, and not a whole lot of room. I made sure to tell him that I have many skin allergies and he would have to bring unscented products with him. First good sign upon his arrival was that my dogs liked him, LOL! We sat down in the living room, talked for a while, and he gave me some forms to fill out. A short medical history, more information about my allergies, specifics about my painful areas, and I was impressed at how thorough it was. Usually when I get a massage at the nail place down the road they don't ask a lot of questions and barely understand what I'm saying. Sam asked to be shown what room to set up in so he could get everything ready while I filled out the forms. After he sat down with me to review the forms and asked me what kind of massage I was looking for. That's when I found out he was also a Reiki Master and would do energy work on me. We walked into my bedroom and he had set up a massage table in the middle of the room. I was impressed with the electrical candles which means no triggering my allergies for me. The candles were a wonderful touch along with the meditation music playing on his CD player. We did have to remove three cats from the set up massage table but Sam was humored by it. He left the room, asked me to undress to my level of comfort, and asked me to lay on the table, under the sheet, and facing up. During the beginning of the massage Sam quickly realized that just lifting my arms caused me so much pain it caused me to cry. He stopped the massage, put his hands under my neck, and then I felt something I've never felt before. It was like waves of energy were pulsing out of his hands, into my head, and down my spine. It was like being lightly shocked by electricity, but not in a bad way, and continuously for 10 minutes. When he finished he lifted my arm and my pain was reduced by half. I am a true believer in the power of Reiki now! He massaged my shoulders while I was laying face up which I haven't had done before. It just seemed like the muscles were being hit better then massages I got face down. At one point he hit a tender spot on my back and by massaging it all the pain drained out of my left hand. He eventually asked me to flip over and the sheet was big enough to avoid exposing myself. I have bad feet and hands also due to injury which were wonderfully massaged. He didn't miss a single spot and spent extra time on the sore places indicated on my intake form. Sam was professional, friendly, good to my animals, respectful of my home, and arrived on time. The massage was 90 minutes, cost me $100, and made me realize that there are big differences in the quality of Massage people. I've been getting massage at a corner beauty salon when I should have been getting it from a professional massage therapist / Reiki Master all along. Normally it takes about two days for the pain to return but afterwards no pain returned and I've even gone back to working out!

Sam. Is. Wonderful. He gave me great pressure, exactly where I needed it and I felt amazing…read moreafterward. He made good time of the hour. I can't wait to come back to try a Reiki session!

I've been going here for a little over year, I think, and recently cancelled my membership because…read moreI don't have the time to come every month. In an effort to use my credits I scheduled weekly massages for the next 30 days, and babbyyyy, I may have to start this membership back up. JOHN G. is magical. He is very knowledgeable (added some manual lymph drainage techniques to my massage because I recently had surgery), he is good at adapting to the deep tissue pressure you can handle, and just overall has a great attitude. I've also had Zackery previously, who was also great. Docking one star because some front desk staff need to review their contract provisions. As mentioned above, I don't have time to come in monthly, so I regularly book a longer massage and want to use two credits to cover it. Some of the front desk staff tried to tell me I could only use one credit and had to pay the additional out of pocket, which contradicts the contract terms. I shouldn't have to constantly pull out my contract to show I have a right to use two credits at once. This is the main reason I cancelled the membership. It's too much hassle to use the monthly credits as I want to. I will likely still come in to see John G., but I won't be a member.

As I entered the establishment, I noticed that it was clean and quiet, which I like. Even though I was late, the receptionist welcomed me in, and the masseur still provide me with a full 60-minute massage. So, real quick, I don't prefer to be massaged by a dude. I'm not homophobic or "a manly man," I just prefer a woman. I believe it's because I feel more relaxed with a woman. Nevertheless, in this experience, I received a masseur named Zack. Zack was incredible! Just his way of talking and his passion for the profession made me feel at ease. Also, I love a ton of pressure on my back and Zack was able to provide that and some. He did such a great job that I had to tip him, even though the massage was previously paid for by my friend. This was a great massage given by a professional and thorough masseur. If you need some muscles kneaded, Zack is your guy. Enjoy! Side note: I was late because I could not find this place. Well, if you're like me, know that it is right next to the Apple Credit Union in the Potomac Festival Shopping Center; Staples is across the parking lot.

By the time Carol got her hands on my I was twisted & knotted up MESS! Did you catch that...I WAS... Carol is AMAZING!!! I travel about 50 min to get to her & do it happily! She is worth her weight in gold! She is HIGHLY skilled & how she connects with your body using her fingers, hands, forearms & elbows as her guide will blow your mind! We are now working on scar tissue. NO internal fiber can escape Carol's hands!! She is like a medal detector. Once she gets a "hit" & her "radar" goes off, she gets DOWN in those nooks & crannies & will set you FREE!! Before Carol got her hands on me I could not, without joint pain, twist my torso area, lift my arms above my head, bend over or lift my legs. Now...NOW...I can get into yoga poses I could only DREAM of before!!! Oh yeah....she gives homework assignments. Mine was to do yoga. I communicate with her just like I would my Drs. I don't add to anything without first consulting them. I wanted to start Palaties but she advised against it because palaties is designed to strengthen muscles & at the stage I was in at the time, that would as she explained would strengthen the disfunction I was already dealing with which is the exact opposite of what her goal was for me at that time. If you are suffering in any way in your body, PLEASE reach out to Carol. Help IS out there & she CAN help! Your body will THANK YOU!
