I apologize for this lengthy review! have been a customer of this business dozens of times for…read moreyears, and I will attempt to summarize all of my visits into one review. Body By Design offers many modalities of massage, including Swedish (for relaxation), deep tissue (for muscle knots), trigger point (for tightly contracted muscle fibers and pain), lymphatic (for reducing swelling and edema and supporting the immune system), sports (for athletes), prenatal (for pregnant women), reflexology (no medical diagnoses but a good foot massage), bamboo (for ironing out muscle knots), hot stone (heat for stretching muscles), lomi lomi (which is Hawaiian and is relaxing just like Swedish but uses longer, faster strokes), shiatsu (acupressure and some stretching to restore energy flow and relieve tight muscles), Thai (lots of stretching and compression), etcetera. If you schedule a 1.5-hour or 2-hour massage, then you will have more time to combine multiple modalities into one massage. The business also offers reiki (a gentle touching or hovering of hands for emotional and physical wellbeing), DermoNeuroModulation (which stretches the skin, stimulates nerves, and improves movement), and Ortho-Bionomy (which gently realigns muscles, bones, and fascia to improve posture, heal physical injuries, and relieve stress). Body By Design also offers several enhancements: hot stones or bamboo (mentioned above but also an add-on), cupping (which increases blood flow in muscles and feels very energizing but also leaves temporary red marks on the skin!), aromatherapy (which smells good and relaxes you), exfoliating scrubs for the hands and feet (to remove dead skin cells and soften the skin), CBD oil (to relieve pain and produce relaxation), and oxygen gel (to soften the muscles). Body By Design employs several massage therapists. I have received massages from all of them, and they all have very pleasant personalities and give highly therapeutic massages. In general, I have found that the therapists Heather, Mareena, Sugar, and David talk a little during massages and give somewhat gentler massages. I have found that Mark and Donna Marie talk more, and their information educates me about what exact muscles have knots. Page specializes in Ortho-Bionomy. Prices for services range from $63 for a 30-minute session to $163 for a 120-minute session plus a tip, and you can receive a discount with a membership or a package. Appointments can be easily made either through Body By Design's website, the MindBody mobile application, or telephone, and they send emails and text messages as reminders.

My "deep tissue" massage was not very deep, not were any of my focus points worked on liked I asked for.

I realize not much can be done about the outside but the little lobby is dark and dingy. Not exactly a spa vibe. The ugly: the "review" from one of the therapists telling a client to "get bent" is really off-putting. If I had read these reviews before booking, I probably wouldn't have gone here. I understand she was questioning his training, which is highly frustrating. But there is a professional way to respond to something like that.

Even if you are not in the area, she is worth a drive. Truly a gifted teacher.

Okay.. so I am a big fan of massage therapy and don't really have a favorite place or therapist. I like that each therapist (that I visited in the past) has a different style or technique.. so I am always down for trying out a new place. "Sondra" was skilled/nice and provided me with a good first experience. I had a "Therapeutic Massage" - along with a little stretching. I left my visit feeling vibrant & refreshed. The pricing is about average - typical of massage therapy - not below average. I predict another visit in the future. Thank you Awakenings Healing Touch!

They will go above and beyond to accommodate your scheduling needs which is a big plus. I was referred to Denise (owner) at Awakenings by my chiropractor for my neck and shoulder pain. Skeptical at first, as I've never been to a massage therapist before, but WOW am I glad I followed my chiropractor's advice. Massage has helped me tremendously and has reduced my pain by 95%. Denise is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and gives a phenomenal massage. She makes a point to ask what areas she should focus on and will answer any questions you may have. I'm fascinated by her vast knowledge of essential oils and holistic healing also. The decor and atmosphere is warm and inviting, soothing and calm, preparing you for a perfectly stress free hour of relaxation. You are guaranteed to leave Awakenings not only relaxed, but refreshed. The service is amazing at Awakenings and both massage therapists are incredible. Give Awakenings a try. You will be so glad you did. Denise is also one of the few massage therapists that specializes in fertility massage.

The location is traditional office space that Norma has beautifully appointed to look like a spa oasis. She even took care to cover the drop ceiling over the massage table with billowy fabric. Since I have never had reflexology prior to this, I can't compare her technique to anyone else, but it was relaxing - I fell asleep during the session. Before I went in I was experiencing some back pain that was immediately alleviated following the session. Following the session I asked Norma if she felt anything "weird" in my feet - she said nothing was out of the ordinary - I did tell her where I had been feeling pain. She did mention that she felt some congestion in my vocal chord area - this was amazing b/c I conduct presentations for a living and this would be totally accurate - my vocal chords are indeed under a lot of stress! Norma offers a wide range of services--traditional Swedish massage, deep tissue, prenatal, hot stone and Thai. I would recommend her and I would also return for a visit the next time I'm in the area.

The reception staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. My facial with Shanon was truly an hour of bliss. She included a face, scalp, and hand massage, along with a paraffin wax treatment, and all of the products smelled amazing while being incredibly gentle on my highly sensitive skin. I especially appreciated how she explained each step of the process along the way. I also tried a lash tint and lift, which was quicker and far less fuss than others I've had that tend to drag on and feel like a nuisance to get through.
