This was not my experience. Ola was rough and fast with his movements. My massage was hardly relaxing. He seemed to be applying very little technique. Nothing like a reflexology or back massage I've ever experienced. I could not relax my body because of how fast and rough he was going. I had to stop him from some of the stretches because he was forcing my body into the stretches instead of being gentle. I could not wait for the massage to end. (-) He was super rough and not gentle at all (-) Seemed to lack experience and technique (-) He hurt my back while stretching me (-) they made me pay ahead before my service (+) He relieved some tension in my back and feet. Later I did feel less stiff.

I can't say enough good things about May at Sea House Spa. Her deep tissue technique is incredibly…read moreeffective. She has an intuitive touch that always finds and releases the knots and tension I build up from long hours at the computer and intense workouts. Her massages have made a huge difference in my recovery and overall well-being. The spa itself is a hidden gem. It's located in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you because the space is clean, the staff are very professional, kind, and welcoming. It looks like the spa may be under new ownership, and they're doing a great job creating a relaxing, high-quality experience. One thing to know: the staff primarily speak Mandarin, so if you call, don't hang up if there's a delay. They use live Google voice translation, which works well but takes a moment. Be patient; it's worth it. The prices are also incredibly reasonable for the level of care and skill you receive. I highly recommend May and Sea House Spa to anyone looking for true therapeutic bodywork at great value.

I found this spot on Groupon and decided to give it a try for a couples massage. I booked an…read moreappointment via phone a week or two in advance yet the staff appeared surprised when we showed up for our appointment. It was a pleasant enough experience up until it was time to tip. Despite purchasing this couples massage on Groupon, I always tip based on the original, pre-discounted cost. For a 60 minute couples massage, the price was advertised as $150 in house. I was planning on tipping the 15% on the $150 and the masseuse honestly made it really uncomfortable for me. She kept saying my entered tip amount is just 1 person and I said that's 15% of the cost of the massage. I even showed her my math on the calculator. She then said she expected at least $20 per person for the massage and that's coming up to almost 30% tip. I ended up tipping 20% and walking out and will likely not be returning. Perhaps increase the cost of the service rather than making customers feel awkward and obligated to tip higher.

It was $62 for an hour of half body and half feet, with hot stones (my fave). I told the woman where I wanted her to focus on the most, and she did an amazing job! She was attentive and handled my body with the utmost care. I almost fell asleep on the table, and that rarely happens for me. The staff were kind and courteous, and I really loved the smell of the lotions/oils they use. Normally it would give me a headache but it was a nice, light fragrance that was very aroma-therapeutic. I would love to go back for another next month. The prices weren't bad.

I paid for an hour long deep tissue massage. $70 is on the pricier side but a good massage is worth it. This one was not worth it. The massage tech didn't seem to know what she was doing. She didn't use any oil. She seemed to barely be touching me... It was like the brush of a butterfly wing. She just kept going back-and-forth back-and-forth over my back without any kind of a plan, and without any strength, and without any apparent knowledge of the musculature, I asked her to do it harder she did not. She asked if she could walk on my back and I let her do that she stayed up there for about 20 minutes. Just kind of walking back-and-forth not specifically seeming to target anything. I have an injury on my knee and I asked her to please not touch my knee, but she spent a good long time rubbing my knee and yanking on my leg, which was extremely painful. After this horrible experience, I reached out to management and asked if they could either comp me a massage or give me a discounted rate on another full body one hour massage so I could try a different technician and they have had the audacity to not even respond to my request. Terrible shoddy workmanship, and a terrible way to run a business. !!!! It took a week, but the business finally reached out to me! They offered me a complementary massage because of my terrible experience. I'm so grateful I feel like that's the right thing to do in this situation. Thank you so much!

Review #012 - 2025…read more I've been seeing Claire every month since before COVID so I am extremely late in writing her this awesome review! Maybe I'm just being selfish because I don't want too many people to know about her and it'll be even harder for me to get an appointment. Claire is an expert in her field! She always makes me feel better after my massages. She listens to my concerns and addresses my sore spots! I definitely put her to work! So thankful that she has strong hands because I sit at my desk for hours on out and that causes a lot of knots and muscle tension! The funny thing is, we actually have so many fun conversations during my massage, that the time literally flies by. As soon as I leave, I am already looking forward to my next massage.

I also really wanted to support a women-owned business. However, I also work hard for my money, and when I spend a good amount of it, take time off work to get issues addressed, and provide instructions, I do hope I'm listened to. That wasn't the case here, and I feel like Claire just went through her usual routine instead of focusing on the main area I identified prior to the session starting (significant pain in lower back tied to the quadratus lumborum, and my entire back in general was super tight). My latest back flareup lasted for two months and I needed some relief. I saw Claire bills herself as a medical massage place, so I booked a 90-min massage in the hopes that it would help and was really looking forward to it. Paid $255 (which included tip and CBD oil; I was desperate for pain relief). At this point, I'd to emphasize that Claire asked what areas I would like to focus on. I explained my back issue and said I'd like to focus most of the time on my back, with particular attention paid to my lower back. This was all before the session started. She also asked about modality preference. I said deep tissue. Pros: - The reception area was clean and welcoming, along with the massage room - There's plenty of parking in the lot - Claire seems to be really nice and has super strong hands *The not-positives* She spent 70% of the total time working on my traps. I do hold a lot of tension there, yes, but spending majority of time there was not what I was looking for. I had not mentioned my traps being an issue at all. Mid back? I just got what felt like a light back rub, maybe 5 min of what could be constituted as deep tissue. No relief there. Lower back? She barely touched it. She threw on a heating pad on that area and went to work on my legs instead. I asked if we could skip my legs and just focus on my back, and she assured me we have plenty of time to focus on my back. Then she finished with my legs and instructed me to flip over, and I was like wait, that's it?? I asked AGAIN that she work on my lower back a bit and she said ok, then spent maybe 10-15 min using a trigger point technique, which felt great...but again, she only spent that time on it AFTER I asked her, despite what I explained when I first arrived. She then had me flip over and started working on my traps and upper neck AGAIN, then started on the area where my lats would be (not sure what it's called). She told me it's a spot most therapists overlook and helps with lymphatic drainage. Fine, that's fair. In the end, I actually left worse than when I started. Had no relief anywhere I had asked for. Another massage therapist I had seen a month before who offers only 60-min massages spent more time on my back than Claire did. I won't be going back, and I honestly can't recommend Claire if you're looking for pain relief or mobility. It was a HUGE waste of my time and money, and I was worse off for it. Her approach is good for those looking for general relaxation but not pain relief.

As active people we often have various aches and pains; it seemed like a double win to get massages and also learn how to better give them to each other. Another couple we are good friends with joined us. Alexis reached out ahead of the session to solicit our ideas for the time together and make sure we were fully prepared. When she arrived she immediately set a relaxed, joyful, loving mood. She taught us both a seated, neck/shoulder massage and a more immersive, laying down full back massage with oil. With our small group she provided regular 1:1 feedback, which was very helpful. She also kept it low stress and fun for all. Since the session we have continued to practice some of what we learned. The seated massage techniques are especially easy to incorporate into even a weeknight evening. It was freeing to learn a few easy moves that are consistently well-received. I would strongly recommend Alexis. She is a lovely, warm, talented instructor.
