We were offered water and fruit while we waited. The interior was clean with multiple private/semi-private treatment rooms. Both ladies were very polite although with limited English. They started with foot soak while doing shoulder/neck/arm massage. The foot reflexology used a lot of pressure, but we felt so much better afterwards. They finished with a brief leg massage. This place is definitely worth a try if you have sore feet!

This was one of the BEST massages I have ever gotten (and I've gotten quite a variety over the past…read more20 years or so). Definitely therapeutic and deep-tissue. "Anna" put her all into it!! There were a couple of times I could tell she got up on the table (kneeling?), for leverage. I received a full body massage, but the majority of the time was spent on my poor back (thankfully, bc I needed it). There were even hot stones towards the end and then a moist hot towel to get some of the oil off. Highly recommend; I'll definitely return.

And if you can't take that much pressure they can do a nice gentle massage as well. I've come here so many times for years and always forget to have them punch my card for the eventual free/discount massage, but doesn't matter...they gave me a gift certificate for a free one for Christmas. They are very sweet ladies and always try to load me up with candy and water as I'm leaving (the candy for my kids). They take walk-ins, which I love as I have a crazy schedule with my kids and work and never know when I'll have time. And they're open until 10pm which is also amazing. I love getting a massage here. I've had massages at many different places: red door (before they closed at which I've had best and worst), a chiropractor masseur, massage envy (only dug into my shoulder blades lots of pain there). I prefer a little more pressure myself, but I don't like to be in pain. I like the tension release I get here.

We met as a trio and we're able to let our hair down and experience pure relaxation at Scents of Serenity. I opted for a facial and massage. The 90 minute experience was exhilarating and had me longing for more. Most of the time I've very tense the first 30 minutes of my massage, but at Scents of Serenity I was able to relax and slip into a portal of the unknown for well over an hour. I usually compare spas here to the spas overseas and I will say that this one reminded me of the amazing massage I received in Mexico a few years ago. I will definitely be back and will recommend Scents of Serenity to friends and family!

She is located inside Parlor on Broad St. I love this salon atmosphere. It harmoniously blends with the aesthetic of EB and is just as friendly and open as Linda. She is so professional and warm and is great for continued pain management. Her room is so inviting that you float away almost immediately. Linda is wonderful if you like variety of massage. I've had her hot stone and deep tissue and both were a revelation. If I could afford it, I would get a massage once a week. She has very strong hands and knows how to use her strength so that I get the most out of my time with her. I can really never have too much pressure and she gets it right every time. All of my friends and family go to Essential Bodyworks because they know they will get what they need every time. I tested my hypothesis by getting a massage elsewhere this week because I had an old gift certificate. I could hardly relax because I was noticing every way in which the massage therapist was not Linda. Linda's massages are seamless and perfect and I would not change a thing. Can't wait for my next massage!!

I booked a session here being TOTALLY UNAWARE they are the best rated massage in Richmond, and you…read moreknow what? I left thinking, "That's got to be the best massage I have ever had." I have severe, chronic pain. I got a massage somewhere else--that I won't name here--and my pain was so bad, I let the masseuse use a lot of pressure. I realized this was a mistake the very next day and they'd done some damage, but I could not use my arm--which is a bad situation to be in. A few days later, I got an appointment here with Tiffany. Tiffany was AWESOME. Along with a general massage and cupping, she used a method called scraping--this, my friends, did WONDERS for my arm. The beds are heated. The face-thingies are SOFT (I don't know why I can't find this everywhere). The only downsides? 1. There's no membership option!!! WHY. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY MONTHLY?! 2. There's no rooms for couple's massages, and booking two separate massages at the same time for two different people using their online system is. . .not something it wants to let you do. My trick is to book one massage with another directly after it--both times I've done this, I've been called and asked if that was intentional. Once I explained, they had no problem arranging for me and my partner to both get massaged. 3. When you arrive, there's no receptionist, no front desk--there's chairs and magazines, so you KNOW it's the waiting area, but it can feel awkward waiting and being unsure if anyone knows you've arrived for an appointment. Fear not; It seems these folks are punctual and aware of when a client should be there, so they'll pop out of the room they massage in and get you--don't be weird like me and wander around, making the fact you have social anxiety super obvious, awkward, and everyone else's problem in addition to your own; Sit down and open a magazine and read about Reiki. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. Richmond is flooded with just below average massage parlors/masseuses, which is why you're going to have a hard time ever getting the same, one, good masseuse at a location repeatedly; There's a LOT of turn over because, well. . .Not a lot of people are great at massage. If they are, odds are they'll begin working for a nicer place *cough*Divine Spark*cough* or relocate out of the area entirely. Since Divine Spark is the best, they're priced highly, so I see this place as a place to go when I'm in extreme pain or as a very special treat. Beware--this is a small location and company, so book well in advance if a specific date is important to you. I'm already ready for another appointment, but honestly, seriously, beware; Your next massage elsewhere will leave you disappointed after a trip to Divine Spark.
