I had a massage with Matt a couple years ago which was very uncomfortable. I waited to give a…read morereview because I didn't think it was worth revisiting but I see others had similar issues so I wanted to add my warning. I went in for a migraine and asked to just have massage on my neck, Jaw and head- so I left my bra on. He commented on my bra strap (which was not a unique strap) and then went on to tell me the kinda of bras his girlfriend likes. I had said I had a migraine and wanted quiet and he talked the whole time and I was very uncomfortable he was describing his girlfriend's bra tastes. It was also weird because the office is so isolated - it felt creepy and vulnerable when he spoke inappropriately. I would never go back.

It's not going to be a gentle relaxing massage, but this sports massage will be worth the temporary discomfort to have the underlying issues worked through. He's also really good at distracting me while he's doing all the fixing. All of my gratitude for the work he does. Kind, caring, observant, funny, and honest about what's happening with my body, this business lives up to the name Feeling Better. Thank you for everything.

I had a wonderful hot stone massage with Susan. I would place it among my top three favorites. She…read moreapplied light-medium pressure and was attentive to how I felt and where my pain was. I was offered tea or water afterwards which was a nice touch. I found this holistic spa on Spa Finder. Some good friends gave me a gift card after having a baby and I was able to use it here. The location is small but very nice inside. They have a lot of beauty products to test out that are available for purchase as well! My only complaint was the parking. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it took me about 20 mins to find a spot. I still had to walk five mins from a neighborhood to the spa. I would advise you to arrive as early as possible (I showed up 15 mins early) if you plan to come on a nice day during the weekend! I definitely want to check out their facial services.

Before I'd reached the end of my first massage with Jennifer Michels, I knew I needed to book…read moreanother. She is talented and enthusiastic, balancing body knowledge with a soothing touch. She's also really fun to chat with. Jenn has a clear passion for the body and you will definitely feel it in her work on yours. I particularly enjoy her use of heat therapy on me: to release tension in my shoulders and upper back she uses steaming hot towels that seem to make my muscles melt. It's such a relaxing and wonderful experience. Jenn's been performing massage at Moonshadow for 13 years, and I can see why - the little studio in the back of the salon is such a sweet space. It seems perfectly suited to her and is a great place for a getaway (if only a 60 minute one). If you're looking for a spot of self care, book an hour with Jennifer Michels.

Jennifer is AMAZING. I've only had the pleasure of a massage from her 1x and it's enough for me to…read morepraise her. She really did a number on my back but in a good way! I walked out a bit sore, as expected, but after a few days I could really tell a difference. I am a loyal patron of Moonshadow Salon (where Jen works) and every time I get my hair done, my fiancé gets a massage from Jen. She always eases his tense muscles and knots. Her prices are reasonable - $45 for 30 mins and $70 for 60 mins. If you're looking for a masseuse who truly knows her craft then look no further. We live 30 mins from the salon and it's worth the drive.

Nina was very professional, friendly, and warm throughout the entire session. She quickly…read moreidentified the areas causing my pain and applied the right techniques to provide real relief. Her communication was clear and transparent, which made it easy to trust her from the start. As someone who works in healthcare, I appreciate the value of quality soft tissue work. I also work out 4-5 times a week, lift weights, box, and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so my body takes a lot of wear and tear. Combined with the stress of work, regular massage has become an important part of my recovery, and Nina delivered exactly what I needed. Her pricing is fair, and the quality of care is excellent. If this resonates with you, I highly recommend booking a session with Nina. Take care!

From the moment you sit down to talk to him about what is going on with your body, his full attention is fixed on you. Its hard to explain but you will become aware that you are being completely heard, and that all of your concerns are being noted and affirmed. I am very adamant about having deep tissue massage, and recently had one elsewhere that got down to the grizzle, but didn't feel loving. Eli combines a great sensitivity with his strong pressure. He encourages you to sigh and breathe when he hits a rough spot (and oh man did I have some bad knots in my shoulders...). He has incredible touch. I literally felt like I was floating afterwards and sort of rested for a good 10 minutes before I got up. Again, the benefit of this not being a salon but at his home is that you are not being ushered out in a hurry. I felt so cared for and relaxed. You have no idea what you are missing until you experience an Eli massage. Either you'll believe me or you wont, but know that you'll only benefit inexplicably from one of the two options.

That's alright though since the Thai massage itself was great. I made an appointment for a 90 minute Thai herbal massage. I've had other Thai massages in the past, so I decided to try the one with the herbal pouch to see how that would be. I filled on the intake paperwork and you can point out areas you want more focus on and areas you want them to avoid. Cayla was my assigned masseuse, and she was really attentive and made sure the pressure and such was alright. She checked to make sure I was okay being stepped on, and I was like oh yes please. I absolutely loved how much more stepping and stretching there was at this place compared to the other places I've tried. I didn't get "beat up" as bad in comparison, but it was still really nice. The herbal portion was a heated herbal pouch and she'd tap that at various areas during a portion of the massage. The heat felt pretty great. There were times where she had to step out to talk to someone or someone needed to talk to her, but the massage itself was excellent. If I had unlimited funds and was closer to Malai Thai Massage, I'd be getting these a lot more often!
