I had suggested we try tantra, and she was apprehensivly open to the idea. I desided to just go for it. I called Tantric Retreat and the phone was answered by Jess. We immediately had some sort of connection and my wife and she had alot of past history in common. I sheepishly told my wife about my conversation and asked her to call Jess. She was very nervous but Jess answered her questions and concerns. My wife said to book it. We spent 2 days at Denise and John's home 3, 3hr sessions were booked. Turned into 2, 3hrs a 2 hr, and they added an extra hour the next morning. Denise gave us a yoga session just because. My wife had always wanted me to do that with her. They have a temple in their basement for your pesonal quarters. However they welcome you freely in the other area of their home. These people are so open and welcoming, tailor the sessions to your specific needs. The sessions were amazing and have brought my wife and i so much closer together. No turmoil, tension, or stress in our home any longer. We built a sacred space in our home in the days after we departed. We use it daily before we go to work and meditate together. And most days, the evenings for the more adventurous aspects. These people truly changed our lives and relationship in a way i never dreamed possible. I would recommend them without reservation to any couple that wants to take their relationship to a level they never thought possible, or needs to resolve past issues and heal. It will do both. Its not all about sex, and nothing out of your comfort zone happens or is discussed with your practitioner. Those issues and things are called homework. Do it! It works if you give it your all. My wife and i no longer have hallway sex, but are studying for a doctorate in happiness, bliss, and ecstasy. Just go for it, life changing

Wow! Amber at Omra Bodywork is amazing! This was the best massage that I have had in Asheville…read more Her studio is comfortable and has great ambience. The location is close to downtown and has it's own parking area. I went to Amber because I was having some intense neck pains. She spent almost the entire hour working on that part of my body trying to help relieve the pain. I really appreciated how she went back and forth between using hot and cold temperatures and she seemed very present during the whole massage. She used a nice pressure and seemed to be very in tune with my body and my muscles. I felt SO much better after the massage and was completely relaxed. I can't wait to go back again.

My review in short: Omra gave me the best massage I've ever had and offers a great value…read more -------------------- I'm not a person that pampers themselves regularly, but when I feel my body starting to break down with strange aches and pains I typically whine about it until my wife urges me to go see a masseuse. I had exhausted all of my groupon options for cheap(er) massages and I took to Yelp to find a great local body work practitioner. Omra was a page back, but I really liked the sound and look of the place so I decided to schedule myself an appointment. Amber, my masseuse, scheduled me an appointment within three days of my call, which I'm sure you know around here is a big deal, some places are booked out for weeks ahead of schedule. She was willing to fit me in on the end of one of her standard scheduled days, so I was grateful before I even stepped foot through the door. Omra is located at a great space with an actual parking lot. Man, that is awesome. Up a couple of flights of stairs in a large shared building and you enter a magically relaxing room. It's cozy as cozy can be. It doesn't feel sterile, it feels loved, and well maintained. There's decorations all around the room that give this place a homey charm. It's like being invited into someone's house. Thoroughly relaxing. I'd love to give you the play by play of my 75 minute massage, but the fact is, it kind of knocked me out. I was put into this kind of weird half awake half dream state, where the massage felt like the longest, and most brief thing that has ever happened. The amount of pressure was perfect, even when I thought I wanted a bit more pressure to work out some sort of knot or twist I felt within my muscles I felt them relaxing and easing up. Super pleasant. I can't say enough nice things about Amber and Omra Bodywork. Truly. I've always ping ponged between places offering groupons, which I'm sure were a way to get me in the door of many of the spas, sanctuaries, and massage houses here in Asheville, but I never felt connected to them. Their rates without the groupon were well out of my budget. However, my full priced treatment at Omra was only slightly more than I've spent on deals at other places in the past, including the tip! I don't look forward to the next time that I need a massage, but at least I feel confident knowing that I have a prefered source of aid and relief when I do.

My daughter bought me a gift certificate for my birthday. My fault it took me two years to use,…read morehowever I had many issues when booking. First, I could not use the website to book my appointment. When I called to book my appointment, I was told that the gift certificate expired. I read the disclaimer to the representative which states: Gift certificates are subject to the expiration date. If any set forth, on the face of the certificate, except where prohibited by applicable law. There is no expiration date on my gift certificate, still she insisted it expired. So I paid $25 to renew the gift certificate and booked my appointment for Massage on Wheels. On June 25th, the day of my massage, I actually forgot the massage was booked. No one called to confirm. I received a call from the company around 10:30 and immediately called them back. I explained to the gentleman that, yes I did forget, however this was supposed to be an in-home massage. He placed me on hold, and when he came back he said: Unfortunately, we did not have that this was to be an in-home massage and because you did not cancel within the two hours, we will need to charge you. I explained that I was not a no-call no-show you actually were and that they were not permitted to charge me credit card. I felt bad for the gentleman, because obviously he was relaying a message, just as the previous woman did, because the manager or owner does not have the courtesy to get on the phone. This is terrible customer service. Now I'm off to ensure they do not charge my credit card or I will need to file a formal complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs.

I love the concept of Cosmic Groove massage centers. They charge a very affordable amount for…read moremassages. The 1st and 10th visits are $44 for an hour massage and the everything in between is $54 for an hour. I've probably been to Cosmic Groove 5 times over the past five years and for the most part have had pretty good experiences. I just went back this month for the first time in a few years and wasn't so impressed though. My two biggest issues were that my massage therapist had BO and so I could smell her body odor every time she was near my head. It was a little distracting and not so relaxing having that smell around me. The second issue was that when I filled out my paperwork before the massage and wrote that I prefered no touch below the waist down that day and after the massage therapist finished my shoulders and back, she immediately started massaging my legs. I don't understand, she either didn't read the paper when she was looking over it or she forgot what she had read. That being said, all of my other experiences with them were pretty great. The studio is nothing fancy but it is comfortable and inviting. All of my interactions there have been friendly and warm. I'll be back for sure, I just hope not to see the same therapist unless she showers first.

I went for my first 90 minutes massage on a Friday after work. I got Tanya Tucker as my therapist…read more She was polite & had the door unlocked a few minutes prior to my appointment. I filled out new patient papers & discussed my problem areas with Tanya. She listened and acknowledged needs for the massage. She reviewed her plan for my time with her and then left the room so I could get situated. When my massage started she focused on my problem areas of neck & shoulders. She took great care to work out a lot of stress I carry there. The rest of the massage was also great and I could have fallen asleep. I'm very happy with the service and availability so I can get in after a work day. I was also offered a first time discount at check out I wasn't aware of. It was a nice surprise! I'll be back to see Tanya as my schedule & budget allows and highly recommended you check this place out! I'll add an entrance pic next visit. It's the first door on the left on the building, just off Brevard road across from the huge Shoe place!
