What a gem!!

I've gotten massages all of my life and this was an excellent massage. She was very intuitive about where to pay attention to on my body so I didn't have to explain my needs, at all! My girlfriend really enjoyed her experience too. Her massage area was clean and very welcoming. I'm in the personal care industry so I know what to look for and what to look out for ;-) While there were no fluffy bathrobes or cucumber water to distract you from a mediocre massage that a lot of over priced spas perform, it was a relaxing, thorough massage. I will be back, like every time I go to San Juan kind of going back! Her prices were incredibly good as well. A don't miss sort of experience.

I've had two massages by Roxanne. Most recently my main concern was a tight and painful neck I've…read morebeen struggling with for months. She worked on it with a combination of hot stones, her hands and other tools - tuning forks, different bells that are new to me - and for the first time in ages it is pain free and I have full range of motion back. If you're used to "traditional" Swedish or other massages, some of what Roxanne does will be unfamiliar and seem a bit strange. If you can trust that she knows what she's doing (which she does) and experience it, at the very least you will have tried something new but likely, you will feel the benefit. If you don't want those things however - just tell her! She listens well and constantly seeks education on new techniques and healing massage therapy approaches. She also checks in throughput the session to make sure the pressure and other aspects are comfortable and acceptable. Besides that she is kind and generous with her time and knowledge. Her studio is comforting and cozy too. I can't wait to go back.

I am so happy to have found Sophie for massages in my new hometown, Friday Harbor. She has Shiatsu…read moretraining, but even more important she has an instinct for zeroing in on tightened muscle trouble spots - in short, she has "the touch." As a person with chronically knotted neck and shoulders, I'm thrilled by her ability to really get in to my tough "gristle" and get the tensed muscles to relax. Her studio location right in town and her availability on weekends and after 5 on weekdays are quite convenient as well, for this woefully sedentary office worker. All the thumbs up, I am hooked and now a regular.

Not gonna lie -- Earthbox turned out to be a wonderfully refreshing change from a generic hotel…read morestay. The grounds -- consisting of about 4 or 5 separate buildings -- had a lovely chill vibe, lots of greenery around the compound, an indoor pool and sauna and a nice array of separate outdoor seating areas. The separate office/lobby was a large but cozy welcoming space with a fireplace, couches and coffee and a comfy spot to relax in. Also, not gonna lie -- accommodations are upscale Best Western level, which again, I have no problem with, but just so ya know, that's 300 greenbacks in high season. Hey, it's an island, I get it, there's not many options; Just throwing it out there. Our Queen Standard room was on the small side, but the bath/shower was perfectly adequate (if a bit dated), as was the A/C, and the bed and bedding was pretty comfortable. The staff too was awesome, cheery and happy to meet any need. We loved the pool and jacuzzi setup, and there's even a little exercise room in the same building. One thing I could have done without were the 5 or so emails I received before check-in, begging me to complete the online check-in form ahead of time, so I could just go right to the room without needing to stop at the office. Didn't work and I still had to physically check in. So yea, that was a pain. And yet? They still get 4 stars. Our one-night stay may have been expensive but it was very comfortable.

We had a really nice stay at Earthbox Inn and Spa. Right off the bat, they were very polite,…read morecourteous, and cordial via text to get all set up and pre-checked in so that we could go straight to our room when we arrived. I really appreciated that they had free EV chargers for guests, so we could plug in our car after a long day of driving and riding the ferry, at no additional charge. Spectacular. They are centrally located to everything you might want to do in Friday Harbor, so we only had to take our car once, when we went sightseeing around the island. Otherwise, it just stayed parked because we could walk everywhere, which was really nice. Everyone I interacted with during our stay was pleasant and professional. We had a maintenance issue in our room and they were quick to remedy it. I was a little disappointed that our room did not have some kind of fan to move air and the AC only went down to about 67 degrees and the furniture felt a bit...damp, so that is the reason for the 4 stars. I like my room to be cold, crisp, and clean and the one we stayed in just felt a bit...musty. Also, the local lavender farm is closed and the products are now sourced from Whidbey Island, but that was not disclosed to me until I asked, so I might suggest updating the information in the rooms. I was a bit disappointed we couldn't visit the lavender farm on island because it was permanently closed and so the sign in the bathroom kind of set me up for failure. All in all, it was a mostly pleasant stay and I would return the next time we want to visit Friday Harbor.

After a quick and easy check in, filling out the standard form, I was toured around the small, but well appointed spa. My locker was open with sandals and robe awaiting. After a quick wash down in the clean, large, tile shower, I managed 12 minutes in the steam room, a great way to relax before my rub down. Another quick wash I retired to the lounge with cucumber water, organic Tazo teas and Pellagreno. The gas log fire was blazing making it very warm but still comfortable as I hydrated over the latest issue of some Mega Yhat magazine. When in Rome. Sydney arrived right on time to lead me down the hall to our room. Dimly lit, smelling fresh and with heated sheets, I relaxed and awaited my 60 minute, deep tissue. Great work! Sydney is fantastic. When she asked if the pressure was ok, I let her know she could go harder. Politely she said that was almost as much as she could go but I could tell she was really trying. Very kind of her. What a great massage. After our well spent hour together, at least for me, more hydration in now a very full lounge until by final scrub down under the rain water bower head. My visits to Roche Harbor will now include a pop in to see Sydney. Thank you.

As you can imagine I was well overdue for a good massage. But I didn't have to settle for a good massage because, by going to MassageWorks, I got a supercalifragilsticexpealidociously wonderful massage! I could add more adjectives here - I know plenty of them - but to give you the clearest idea of how wonderful this experience was I'll just add that at various points during the 60 minute session I believe I actually purred.
