I tried this spa after checking at least three or four Asian foot spa type places in the…read moresurrounding area and this is the only one that got really good reviews mostly five stars. Here was my experience from beginning to end. I called to make an appointment and the lady that answered the phone acted like she knew me already very upbeat and bubbly like she was my friend! I then made the appointment and was able to get in within an hour. When I entered, I was greeted and able to tell the person I was talking to exactly what I wanted. She directed me to a room and the person massaging me began the massage face down with my body covered, and she began doing compression, which is light pushing on my back arms, glute area, legs, feet and neck. She then rolled back my sheet all the way down to where my butt cheeks end. Just so you know this is the Asian massage way. It's not weird at all. If you are weird about these things, you should not get a massage at these places. It's just a body. These places get a bad rep because of the things that go on at other places. Anyway... She then used oil and massaged my body (neck, arms, shoulders, back and lower back, glutes, legs for about a half hour, then she turned me over and massaged my feet and my legs. She used hot stones on the same areas briefly, then she used a very warm towel to wipe off the oil on my body, which I appreciated. She gave me a very nice scalp massage as well. For $60 this is amazing and I gave her a $20 tip because it was worth it! If you go and get a regular massage at a regular spot, it cost about $130-$160.00 at the very least. The only constructive criticism I have would be that the room itself had nice relaxing spa music in it, but the general area in the front had some pounding music going, which competed with the spa music and made it really difficult to fully relax or fall asleep. If it wasn't for this, it would've been absolutely perfect and so I'm writing this to allow the establishment to understand that when you are in a Zen state, it's important to keep things consistent. Maybe have the music the same on the outside as the inside of the rooms, and when you have no patron, that's when you can play your thumping music That would be the only thing that I would love to see improved upon. When I was done with my massage, the lady that had answered the phone to begin with checked me out and was very very kind and caring. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back at least once a month if not more.

The reason for 3 stars is that I paid for a combo massage and she didn't massage my feet at all. Completely skipped them. That's my favorite part of massages. Most likely won't be back .

In the future I would suggest letting the customers know what the options are for different massages. Most people want foot massage.

However I've been experiencing some elbow pain due to an overuse injury related to my occupation. I've seen my chiropractor a few times about it which brought some relief, but it's still been bugging me a lot. My wife has been seeing Stephanie for a couple years now, and booked me a 2hr appointment with her (knowing I'd never do it myself). I had the appointment yesterday, and I'm SO glad I did. I could instantly tell that Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all the muscles and connective tissues, knowing that where it hurt was not necessarily where the problem was originating. She confessed that she loves the challenge of finding those pesky source knots/tensions/misbehaving parts, almost like a detective solving a crime. Well my body is guilty as charged, and she expertly reduced 90% of my pain in the first 2hr appointment. If you want the perfect blend of a feel-good massage with what I'd describe as therapeutic/medical-level therapy, look no further than Stephanie at Soul Purpose Massage. I can tell that she can turn that dial of "feel good" to "hurts good" depending on each client's specific needs/wants. I definitely wanted the pain issues dealt with and couldn't care less about the feel good aspects (although the whole experience definitely was amazing).

So I scheduled my first massage. The woman spoke almost no English which makes communicating difficult about what kind of massage I want and where things hurt. She gave me a reasonable massage but the pressure was uncomfortably hard. You would think a masseuse would notice that the person she is working on is tensing up but either she didn't notice or she didn't care. Afterward I gave her one of the cards. Apparently she didn't understand that the massage had been paid for, and insisted I sit down while she made several phone calls trying to sort it out. After about 15 minutes I left, the experience completely ruined. A couple months later I hesitantly scheduled the second massage. This woman spoke a bit more English, and did ask about the pressure. But throughout the entire massage she used too much pressure and kept hurting me. I told her each time, and she eased up, but then went right back to working my muscles to the point of pain. She also left the room several times for several minutes at a time with no explanation. And she giggled repeatedly, about what I don't know. Afterward she had no problem with the gift card, thankfully, but was careful to tell me that the gratuity was not included. My husband said it was, because I asked him before going, but I wasn't going to argue with her. I gave her $10 and left. I will not go back, and I do not recommend the spa. A massage should not hurt, and I shouldn't have to say so more than once.
