Krystal is just amazing. Not only does she give amazing, custom massages, she is also so very knowledgeable about pain management and can help refer you to people that practice holistic care and genuinely want to find the root cause- not just put a bandaid on it. If I could I would see Krystle every week. She is also extremely dedicated to her clients. She broke her nose and still did everything to keep my husbands appointment after she left the ER... SAME DAY! She works hard and loves what she does and it shows in her work! Note that her schedule is booked far in advance, but you can be on a waitlist for last minute openings and changes in her schedule. Highly recommend you give her a try!! read more

Amazing massage! The masseuse was great. Prices are appropriate for the quality of the massage. The place was nice and clean. I'd definitely come back. read more

One of the best massages I've ever had! Such a wonderful experience. The place was clean, relaxing and truly enjoyable. She was perfect with the pressure and helped getting knots out of my back without leaving me sore or in pain. Definitely recommend! read more

I want to start by saying I NEVER write reviews, however this place was amazing! Very professional, exceptionally clean, and much needed. Thank you for your expertise! I know I found my new "go-to" place to feel renewed. read more

I wish they had a ZERO star for this horrible place. I am not sure how they have these good reviews. We recently moved from NOVA, and this is our first experience in MD and it has been the worse experience. Unprofessional, unethical, and lack of integrity. This business will price gauge without performing service. Please do not waste your time or your money at this establishment. read more

If you are looking for a place that is professional and has integrity, this is not the place. I really wish I had made an appointment in NOVA but since moving here I need to find a place that gives quality facials. From the start I should have seen the red flags. I made an appointment for my boyfriend and I for European facials. When I called I asked about 2 different types of facials and what they included. The service that is described over the phone is not the same service you will receive. I was told something different that is described on their website also. My boyfriend and I were late but we were never advised that we would cut into our service time, mind you we made an appointment for 3pm and 4pm but then later called by the girl in the front and was asked if we could both come at 3pm, some how they were able to get us in at the same time now. Hmmm ok cool. Then called again and asked if we could come at 12!? No sorry. I was called twice before the appointment, which made me feel like they were trying to even rush the appointment time. Anyways, we get there and yes we were late and we were never advised of the time would be deducted from service. I immediately noticed no steam machine in the room and was kinda apprehensive but I thought maybe it would be brought in. We had a total of a 30 min service that included a 5 minute arm massage and we were also left in the room for 15 min to have the mask left to dry, you would think that they would take that time to do a proper massage that is "included" which states on their website. Nope! Wasn't done either. We then asked for an additional service which they declined because they had another "client " which I believe was a lie because it was a holiday and they clearly wanted to get out of there. Um ok, 10 min later they said they were done. What I don't understand is they asked what our concerns were with our skin .. why ask if you can't even perform services due to time and at that point they had the opportunity to let us know they could not perform any additional service because they didn't have time. After all this they told me my total was $240.00 ?! I advised them they did not perform the service and the women agreed. She gave a $40 dollar discount. At that point I said ok but left there feeling we were hustled and that didn't sit well with me. I sent an email and expressed these concerns with no response from this establishment. It was very disappointing and customer service is clearly not a priority. For a small place maybe this is the best out of the options here in Waldorf, I will spend my money in the Tyson's area where it's a little more professional and I wouldn't mind spending more money for a service I know will be performed 100%. I have included a picture of the service they claim to offer but they failed! read more

Essenza Escape Day Spa - Massage Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

Really enjoyed this local business. Krystal came in on her day off because my neck and back hurt and was looking for a massage that day. She gave me the massage that was tailored for me. I'm sorry to see below she had two Nightmare customers who were late for their appointment. Haha people are so entitled these days. Anyhow... great massage. read more

Krystal is excellent. I must say that I have massages all over the country and they were great, but could not find that right place near home. After searching, I found Essenza Escape. Truthfully, I don't like the big spa atmosphere or the chains like massage envy. You are a number not a person and the massage is not customized. Krystal allows you to fully customize your massage and will really listen to you if you want a certain area addressed. The spa is clean, a little hidden/tucked away, but easy parking and nice. Prices are great. I really have never fallen completely asleep while getting a massage but there's a first for everything! Completely relaxing and just what you need if you really want to feel taken care of. Your body deserves to be treated well. Don't be surprised if other ailments don't start to go away after getting on a routine massage schedule. This is affordable and well worth the money and time. Krystal works with my oftentimes crazy schedule too. I have not tried the wraps and/or facials yet but am looking forward to trying that as well. If you are looking for a great, relaxing massage in the Southern Maryland area, try it out. I bet you'll love it! Happy relaxation! read more

When I tell you that Krystal is amazing, that is the TRUTH!!!! She was not even scheduled to be open on that Sunday, but she made my birthday that more special by making herself available. I waited too late, and they had no appointments left. The wonderful receptionist placed me on hold and let me know that they could accommodate me on Sunday, and I was ecstatic. My aunt recommended this place to me because of its privacy, and she was right. Krystal was very professional and she gave me exactly what I needed, working out all of the stressful points. It was so relaxing, I dozed off, and was snoring!!!! I will be back without a doubt and will surely send my husband and my son. Her prices are reasonable, and the place is so peaceful. A new customer right here. read more

My overall experience was wonderful. The receptionist was so kind. Is was only in town for the day but really needed a massage, I called but they were filled for the day. I got a call back a few minutes later; the receptionist called in a therapist early to fit me in! Krystal was my therapist and she was amazing! I'm very picky because my sister is a massage therapist and have never found anyone nearly as good as her until I met Krystal! The place was also clean and quaint! read more

My first visit and it was great. The environment is friendly, clean and professional. I had a massage and a facial and I think it's the first time I have dozed off. Krystal was great and very concerned with making sure everything was perfect. I could become a regular. read more

This is one of the best massage businesses that I have been to. I was in need of a massage (12/12/15) at the last minute and reached out to Krystal to see if Essenza Escape had any openings. Krystal had informed me that an appointment for the next day had not confirmed and that I could have her appointment time. Thankful, I booked with Krystal. A while later, Krystal informed me that that individual ended up confirming the appointment but that if I was willing, she would open the shop early to squeeze me in. This was the best massage ever. Krystal was very good, applied adequate pressure, and had a personal touch. I will definitely be frequenting Essenza Escape again. read more

Loved it. Made a second appointment. Will be returning. She focus on my stress spots. Place is peaceful and friendly.

Krystal was, in a word, amazing! My husband has been in so much pain and as much as I wanted to help him, it was time for a professional massage. We have been to larger places but we much preferred this small, more personal atmosphere. And we love supporting local. We will be going back! read more

This was my first week and I went twice for a deep tissue massage. The receptionists were nice and welcoming. Kristen was very good and focused on pressure points that helped relieve soreness in my legs. The rates are reasonable. I look forward to my next visit and would recommend to anyone looking for true massage therapy. read more

Krystal is a terrific therapist and always knows exactly what I need. Our entire family goes to Krystal! Great massage. Great price. Therapist for life. read more

Excellent massage from Krystal. She will work with you to make sure the pressure and type of massage are exactly what you want/need. The location is best found from Route 301 North, right on Centennial Street. Go to top of hill and the building is on left (directly across from the FEDEX drop box). Will definitely be a repeat customer. Many massages are offered, just book the timeframe you need and Krystal will work with you. read more

Krystal is pure magic. Ive been trying to get myself back in to shape. The draw back is a lot of back pain. Krystal makes all the hurt go away in an hour. Professional and pleasant, her rates are some of the best in the area. If you currently are looking for a place or unhappy with some of the others in the area Essenza is your destination. read more

Just had my first massage ever so i don't have anything to compare to, but Krystal was amazing !! She made me feel so relaxed and i loved every second of it ! read more
