Dress as you please because it's a private room up to 2 people, so bring a friend or a lover to join. They shower you with drinks and sweets. I am so glad I found this place. The infrared felt like being in the car under the sun, where you want to take a nap. The best feeling. The hot bath tub, was my very first hot bath, so took time to slide my whole body in, but eventually acclimated. I do plan on coming back to try the massage package also. They provide razor, shampoo, conditioner, towel, face wash and face lotion. so leave those at home. Bring a loofa and body wash and a change of clothes. I felt very zen and slept really good the night of. Much needed! Thank you Essential! Recommending to my friends and family for sure.

I found street parking by the grace of God, not really good parking but that's every place…read moredowntown... When I walked in, I was instantly greeted with a smell of mildew. I paid a deposit prior to booking, so she asked if i wanted to pay right away or later. I like to get things over with right away but I should have waited--probably could have gotten a discount for my complaints. I used the restroom before I was shown to my room and it was old, and dingy looking. Very outdated, and it smelled weird. The room seemed nice at first. She informed me that she wasn't able to fully close the door all the way but there was a curtain that could be pulled close. There was still a gap open so I felt exposed. There were two men who had just finished their massages and were getting ready to check out, and they walked past, I didn't like the fact that if they wanted to they could see me. They need to get that fixed... I looked to my left and there was the nice set up tub with snacks then I looked to my right along with a nightstand that had someones toiletry, items and used retainers!?!? There was also a tub filled up quarter of the way with dirty towels?? Idk. Didn't seem clean at all. I kept my crocs on. I got in the Sauna, my first time, that was okay. She asked if I wanted to shower and the shower was disgusting, so I didn't. The sauna was only supposed to be 20 minutes I believe according to my package but I was waiting for much longer for her to come and take me to my next room. The only good thing about this entire experience was my massage. I honestly didn't want to put my face in the hole because everything smelled funny to me. That was my only concern in that room. After I got over that the massage was great. BUT she used some kind of strongly mint scented oil and when we got to the front of my body it was very overwhelming. My overall experience was not great at all. I did not pay for this my significant other did and I feel so bad. But I give it two stars for customer service because she was very nice.

I've especially loved how personable she is and how she tailors the massage to my individual needs. I received pressure point massages from her in my 38th and 39th week of pregnancy.

Stephanie is an absolute legend!…read more Based on my experiences (two ashiatsu and one fusion, so far) I feel she is genuinely interested in finding exactly what her clients need and acts on those needs with a quiet confidence and strength that comes from conscious practice and a solid sense of connection with her client. I have some long term sports injuries/traumas that have hardened up in my older age (thanks to my invincible younger self!) and her ability to dig in to those as deeply as they need without anything snapping back through the movements is testament to how well she understands pressure modulation and control of the body. I have had found great massage therapists over the last twenty to thirty years and she is absolutely the best I have found. In short, I'm a big fan and I will be keeping regular visits as part of my healing journey!
