I have visited Hands in Harmony on two occasions during which I taught energy healing classes. I found the personnel to be very friendly and extremely helpful. In addition to teaching in their classroom space, my students used several of the healing rooms. Each was nicely furnished with a soothing color painted on the walls. Lovely relaxing music wafts throughout the center, and the students found that during their practice sessions they were able to deeply relax in the very nurturing environment. They also have a nice gift shop where customers can select from an array of healing crystals, aromatherapy oils, healing jewelry and more. The entire center was very clean, and quiet. I was on a very tight travel schedule and unfortunately I was unable to personally schedule a massage. However, I heard several very satisfied customers exclaim that their massage was "the Best ever!" If I am in the area again, I will be sure to schedule time for a massage. read more

Amazing massage! Well priced, quality service and massage therapists! I will be back!

Would recommend Emily for facials and Jennifer for messages. Like the environment and staff is always friendly

I came in last minute, same day, on a Sunday with very terrible neck/shoulder/upper back pain and a pinched nerve. Tonya knew exactly what what was wrong and what to do. I felt instantly better, she was super communicative and showed me how to help after. I will be back to stay up on this! read more

My massage with Ali was truly exceptional, and I say that as a bodyworker who has received a lot of amazing bodywork in my life! His depth of presence and range of technical skill left me feeling totally at ease in my body. I only wish I lived closer so I could have that experience more often! read more

Booked aromatherapy tub. Didn't get aromatherapy at all. Lymphatic massage was great. Head neck and shoulder massage was also great. Abbey is so sweet. read more

Wow, wow, wow! Had a massage appointment for my daughter and a facial for me today. With the luck of availability, massage was with Ali and facial was with Stephanie....both provided top notch services. The environment at the spa was relaxing/chill. All staff were friendly and accommodating. We will return....this place is a real gem. read more

Tanya has excellent skills and is an intuitive therapist. I am blessed to be able to get same day appointments when I have a headache or muscle issues! This clinic has excellent massage therapists. I even recommend other massage therapists get treatments there just to become better at their own job! read more

I got deep tissue massage from Abbey and she did an awesome job. You felt like she really cared about doing a good job. The best visit I've had there. read more

McKayla's got skills, I walked out of there and it left like I was born w/o bones lol

Nicole Mosley is incredible! Just finished a cranio-sacral/reiki appointment feeling refreshed, recharged and balanced. Will go back the next time I'm in town! read more

To begin, this was the most bipolar massage experience we've ever had. Our quest began with a version of "In the Ghetto" playing in my head as we rolled in from Coralville to what appeared to be an old apartment building that now housed a number of businesses. To their credit, they booked us for a Sunday afternoon massage which we very much appreciated. We were greeted by a couple very nice folks...neither of which were wearing shoes. Entering the building we found ourselves on the lower level in a lovely smelling and trying really hard, but still borderline sketchy (if not only because of the physical location) locale. We were shown to our room, got into our robes and were led to the spa area, which turned out to be what we think was a bathroom with a spa/shower installed. The spa-ish experience was moderately weird because we felt like we were using a neighbors nice accommodations rather than being at a spa. At this point we figured we'd either lose a kidney or the massage would be great and luckily the latter was true! Our masseuses were fantastic and we both agreed they were SOME OF THE BETTER MASSAGES WE'D EVER HAD! Truthishly, we were pretty surprised. The hour long massages were very relaxing and would have only been made better had they been somewhere other than a room that we're pretty sure used to be someones bedroom. Somewhere between Tony (the masseur) lambasting my feet and lower back I was awoken by a dryer going off in the next room...not totally relaxing, but ultimately it added to the uniqueness of the experience. This place would be incredible if they were able to transport the people and decor to a spot that was a little less sketchy, but overall we were pretty impressed. They were running a solid livingsocial special so we couldn't pass it up. It's a ways away so yet to be seen if we'll return, but again, if Tony goes into business closer to Coralville, we'd definitely return. read more

The establishment was nice and airy with the expected shades of purple. In the lobby they have all kinds of merchandise from salt lamps to lotions to tea and jewelry. The person that gave me my massage took quite awhile getting health background information, which I was very pleased with. So my massage was more therapeutic as opposed to relaxing. (It did relax too) She could determine right away which parts needed to be worked on. I'm looking forward to my appointment next week. read more

I booked the ultimate spa getaway for today. They have renovated the lobby since my last visit. The new relaxation room was bright & chilly. Didn't get much relaxation done before my service. Tappi was my massage therapist. I have had her before. She is excellent at listening to what I want & applying the correct pressure for me. I had a knee injury about 8 weeks ago & she listened & made sure that her pressure wasn't too much. She also did reflexology to try & help heal my knee. I got a whirlpool soak next. It was ok. Pretty room but the water wasn't as warm as I would have liked so after 15 or so minutes it was chilly. So I got out. Connie did my facial & pretty hands & feet scrub. It was very relaxing. She asked questions about my normal skin care routine, life style & any issues I have. She made recommendations for things to help my skin Overall, a great experience. Just wish it wasn't so chilly & bright in the relaxation room & the whirlpool was warmer. read more

Wonderful place for a massage. Every time I'm in town I always stop here for a massage and I'm never disappointed. I would highly recommend checking out the services they provide. read more

I'm so appalled by the worst and weirdest spa experience I've ever had..I'm still trying to find the words. I booked a mini spa package for myself and a friend that included a hot stone massage, reflexology, and a mini facial yesterday. I've been to numerous spas over the years and have had many professional massages but my experience yesterday was just baffling and a waste of money. We were taken into one room but were never asked if we wanted to be in the same room for our services. Being in the same room wasn't a huge deal but separate rooms were expected. The room was slightly small for two massage beds and the walls were thin, I heard laughter and talking through the wall throughout my experience there. The hot stone massage was nice although the pressure was very light, I felt caressed more than massaged. The reflexology massage I got was just plain weird. Not only was the touch feather light but I felt an odd sensation like my toes were being sucked. I've gotten plenty of foot massages and never one with weird sensations and like the lady was hardly touching my feet. Most appalling though was that right after she finished touching my feet, she came around and started touching my face. I smelt hand sanitizer and mind you, there are no sinks in the massage room. UNSANITARY AND UNPROFESSIONAL. Even more mortifying was that the lady put her fingers in my ears and just sat there with her fingers in my ears??? What is the point of that? I've never had anyone do that to me. After she took her fingers out of my ears, she went and touched my face again. I feel terrible that my friend had a crappy first spa experience as well. The only thing she enjoyed was the hot stone massage. I will never come back. This was a waste of money. I'm not sure how this place has been open for so long with service like this. Or maybe the locals haven't been to real professional places because there's only a few spas worth visiting here. This definitely is NOT one of them. read more

Amazing!!! Relaxing!!! My husband and I try to treat ourselves during our wedding anniversary to a massage and we always frequent Hands in Harmony. After leaving, we always wonder why we don't go more often. The therapists are knowledgeable in massage and I was really happy to learn that the therapist I saw this time had education regarding fibromyalgia. I left feeling like a dream! She helped to reduce the pain, numbness and tingling in the areas I had labeled as troublesome, but even more than that, she reduced pain in areas I hadn't paid attention to. I felt phenomenal afterwards and will definitely return!! read more

I want to thank HIH for honoring a gift card my husband had thrown away on accident!! Not many places would do that and I am extremely thankful! I also have to say after our last experience the manager had contacted us and apologized for mixing us up with the other couple which was nice. This location also updated the quiet room which is larger and has more of a relaxing feel. This appointment I had a facial. It was nice and I will definitely give the massage services a try again! I have been to this spa for massages several times. It's good, but not extraordinary like a few other spas I have been to. On arrival one awaits in the "quiet room" however the "quiet room" is very over stimulating. It's brightly lit with magazines and coloring books everywhere. I also noticed that the paint is chipped in places, this I feel it could use some updating. As for the massage I had a hot stone massage. It's not worth the extra $$. I felt like it was just stones gliding over my body rather than pressure to relieve my right muscles. I have a small frame so I am not sure if the massage therapist was scared of hurting me? I also felt like the massage was choppy and kind of lazily performed. She did not spend much time on my problem areas. Her best massage was probably my feet which felt great but I wish she would have spent more time on my neck and upper back where I hold my tension. I will say the warmth of the hot stones felt good, but I did not feel any relief post massage. This spa has also mixed my husband and I up with another couple and so we waited about half an hour before being seen. I like the therapies this place offers however I just have not been impressed with the services. read more

As an out of town business traveler I was just looking for a relaxing massage to take the stress out of a long drive. . It can be hit or miss when you don't have any references from people who have personally experienced the services offered at a spa or a massage location. Although Hands in Harmony will never be confused with a high end spa the ambiance and caring professionals all were exactly what I was looking for: a mid priced, willing to accept an appt within 30 min, clean and well managed experience. Molly was a consummate professional in all aspects of the massage and provided a very comfortable relaxing experience. And she was about as pleasant as she could be. I will definitely return the next time I'm in town. read more

Love this place. Staff is friendly. Always nice and accommodating to last minute requests. Tappy is great if you are looking for a deep tissue massage. Price is good. And they aim to please. Love this place. read more

I booked two massages for a girls' weekend because my good friend enjoys a massage. I requested some less hands-on things for myself (time on a heated mat and a hand massage). I got talked into a foot massage as well, but should have held my ground. My fault. I didn't have a pleasant experience. Don't let me book these services if your masseuse is going to treat it like it's the oddest thing they've ever encountered. It made me supremely uncomfortable. The hand massage was pretty weak and, oddly, my foot massage was so aggressive I came away with bruises, swelling, and lingering pain. My companion experienced some of this as well: a weak body massage and bruises on the tops of her feet! Finally, after surviving the massage (as I came to imagine it), I was enjoying shopping in the little gift store (great selection of stones and crystals), when my masseuse , Tony, took it upon himself to massage my neck and shoulders when I had just expressly stated that I don't find body touch by strangers to be relaxing, actually quite to the contrary, which is why I booked the hand and foot massage in the first place. This is absolutely unacceptable. I just told you that I didn't want something and you lay hands on me in the gift shop? No. We won't return, and they have damaged any desire I may have had to explore massage further. This should have been a positive first experience. read more

Had an excellent combo massage with Melanie. She has a great energy and is very attentive and accommodating to unique needs. She demonstrated several massage techniques and let me choose the massage that worked best for me. I felt very welcome and comfortable with her and felt great (mentally and physically) leaving that day! Will be working on the stretches she taught me to improve my posture and flexibility in between visits. read more

I am visiting from out of town, really needed to de-stress. After combing through various places on Yelp, I found Hands In Harmony. I booked an hour massage with anyone that was available. I got Kelly, she was FABULOUS!!!! She asked me about pressure, problem areas, etc. Very professional. She started & I immediately felt relaxed (not normal for me). I was so relaxed and even caught myself snoring. I can only wish that they were in my town instead of cedar rapids. read more

There was some scheduling issues, on both mine and the salons part. I wasn't thrilled with how it was handled. HOWEVER the owner herself reached out to me and personally apologized and thanked me for my business. That meant a ton! I am one of those people where an apology goes along way. I have been there several times and due to my horrible schedule hardly ever get the same person twice. All therapist have been wonderful! I look forward to may more great massages, and highly recommend them. Thank you! read more

I absolutely love Hands in Harmony! The staff is great and they make me feel so relaxed and comfortable. They are quick to respond to emails and it's clear that everything they do, it's with the client in mind. Highly recommend! read more

The setting and atmosphere of this place has changed greatly over the many years I have been using this facility. Other the last year, I started going fewer and fewer times, as it is not as professional as it once was. In October 2019, I decided it would be my last visit. If you have any great suggestions for local and professional place to receive a great massage, please list your suggestions, as I am in the market and long overdue for a massage. read more

My friend Maria recommended Hands in Harmony for an orthopedic massage. I have had back problems for years which my chiropractor can't fix because my muscles are so tight. After this massage my chiropractor said "Holy cow, your back has finally loosened up!" I feel so much better. read more

My husband and I got a couples massage. And it was so insanely relaxing. Paul was my therapist, and i feel like there's typically some weird stigma with male therapists but Paul was awesome! Super kind and professional. My husband had Melanie, who was also very nice with skillful training (my husband said she could tell each of his pressure points and gave an amazing massage) they both were sure to make sure we were comfortable and that they applied pressure to our liking. After our massage they gave us tips and advice on what our sensitive/sore spots were and how we can work ourselves to prevent pain. They were so awesome! We will definitely come back! read more

I had lower back pain when I came in and it was gone after I got my massage. I was able to walk without pain! I will definitely be back again. read more

Great ambiance , great service. I have been retuning to get 60 or 90 mins master massage every two to three weeks for the past three months. Both masseuses were great. read more

Molly listened to my concerns and addressed my need areas specifically as well as provided a whole body relaxing massage. She has great pressure and wonderful flow. ( she's very petite, so I'll admit I was shocked at the pressure! ) I'll be rescheduling soon. :) read more

Had the best hot stone massage of my life there! Massage therapist was amazing (Clare). The facilities are very nice, peaceful well decorated and lots of therapy rooms. The music soundtrack was so peaceful and just couldn't have had a more relaxing experience! read more

Atmosphere was professional and welcoming. We were first timers and chose to do a hot tub and couples massage...amazing! Our time in the tub was lovely, with cheese, wine, fruit and chocolates. Then our massages were customized to our particular stresses. We left feeling like buttah and still feel so good! The massage therapists were awesome and really good at walking us through everything. Planning our next visit soon. read more

Having never had a professional massage before, I absolutely LOVED IT! Booked a couple's massage for our anniversary. My wife had Deanna who was very nice and I was extremely happy with Lala! I am not a huge fan of deep and hard massages and she was perfect! Not to hard but definitely enough to make me feel relaxed and body less tense. Also, it being my first time, she made is very comfortable and welcoming. Thanks you two for an amazing experience on our anniversary. read more

I've been getting massages for the last 10 years, mostly for therapeutic reasons; sometimes to relax. I'm 7 months pregnant and it's taken a toll on my tailbone, lower back, and sciatic. I've been in twice to see Melissa and WOW has it helped! The first time was awesome, but the second time, she totally released so much tension I didn't even know I was carrying. I woke up the next morning not in pain for the first time in several months. It's been 3 or 4 days now and my lower back, glutes and legs are still very relaxed and not spasming all day long. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, and most important-effective. Easy to schedule online. read more

When you first walk in you are greeted by someone at the front desk who offers you a beverage and brings you to a separate waiting room. There are salt rocks everywhere and just has an overall relaxing atmosphere. I was then greeted by Abbey, who was my massage therapist and she directed me to the room. I chose a combo massage/facial and we started with the massage. She utilized different techniques to work on the knots in my upper back and it felt great and was really relaxing. Then I had a 30 minute facial, which was the best facial I've ever had! With every product Abbey applied, she massaged my face the whole time and when the mask was applied, she massaged my face, shoulders, upper chest, and upper back the entire time. Previous places I have been apply the mask and walk away or prep other products, so I loved that she utilized that time to give me a massage. It was so relaxing and much needed. Abbey was fantastic-I would definitely request her for my future appointments. If you need a great place to go and relax, I highly recommend Hands in Harmony! read more

After two long 5-6 hour drives, my back and legs were in pain. Luckily, Hands in Harmony were listed and found time for me the same day. Great entrance, waiting area and session rooms. My Specialist, Deanna Lala, is an expert at releasing the tightness using strong and focused pressure. I have been going to my current specialist in California for 10 years and loved the techniques that Deanna used during our session. WOW, glad I found this place, sorry I live so far away. read more

Fantastic massage, super welcoming atmosphere, cozy warm room, and Kim was wonderful. An oasis in Mt.Vernon.
