Paid for my services up front, the swedish medium massage was THE BEST! When I tell you I was ready for bed at noon, I mean it. All my knots were handled, very professional work, good ambiance, room temperature was ok but I was offered a blanket for extra warmth (yes please!!). At the end they give you a water bottle and since I had already paid, I offered a tip. Tip was never required or asked for. Will be returning.

Foot massage was a joke. Done on a flat table. No lumbar support. Was told to sit on a stool to…read moresoak feet. It felt like this was not a service they regularly offered and then the massage therapist could not understand any English. Constantly doing a fingering motion betweeen my toes. Asked to do something else repeatedly and she wouldn't listen or get help to understand me. Won't be returning. It was a Groupon and I usually love Groupons as it has me try many random places I have not done but these people need to know the position you are putting our body in for an hour is not relaxing. And if you gonna offer a service and you don't speak English make sure you have help to assist when customer feels uncomfortable. Making me endure a rub I hate was definitely not my idea of relaxing.

I am more than thrilled to share that after 3 MAT sessions I was pain free and remain so back in California. it be able to bend over, get up and walk pain free is the results of Mary Jane and her MAT training applied to my situation. After concluding the MAT sessions I enrolled in Pilates classes, again with Mary Jane, and became more aware of working those areas of my person identified as needing strengthening through the MAT sessions. I intend to return on another holiday to the Williamsburg area and look forward to more visits to the Pilates Center.

As a…read moreresult, we have found ourselves to be more fit, stronger, have a greater range of motion and much improved balance as a result of that work. The instructors with whom we work are well- educated and follow the guidelines established by ongoing assessments of our abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. We both have also taken advantage of the muscle activation technique (MAT) sessions offered by the Center's owner, Mary Jane Amrein, and that has identified and corrected specific areas of weakness or imbalance. We have learned that many professional athletes use this technique on a routine basis to improve their performance and strength. The facility is clean, well-lighted, and well-equipped with the latest Pilates Stott fitness and exercise machines, work-out equipment, as well as an infra-red sauna.

I recently visited Joy Feet Reflexology, located on S Lynnhaven Rd. as my second stop for my…read more"birthday month of self-love. When I first walked in I was a little skeptical due to the modest entry/waiting room. However once I walked to the back where the magic happens my skepticism left. The atmosphere was peaceful, with dim lighting and soft music. They have multiple beds separated by a curtain which is perfect for solo, group or couple outings. I opted for the 60-minute reflexology session ($45), which included a 15-minute neck and shoulder massage, followed by a 45-minute foot massage.  My appointment started with a basic foot soak. During the foot soak I received the neck and shoulder massage, which felt absolutely delightful.  After the foot soak, I moved to the chair that fully reclines into a bed. Once on the chair they continue with the shoulder and arm massage before moving to my feet. The foot massage was like Heaven or what I imagine heaven to be like. The pressure was perfect throughout the entire session. I left feeling relaxed and completely rejuvenated--it felt like having a new pair of legs. I plan to incorporate this into my life at least twice a month moving forward.  If you are looking for a great reflexology spot, Joy Feet is a 10/10. Your feet will appreciate it!

Ms. Yang worked on my muscles and fascia but also the energy channels of my body or meridians. This was a wonderful experience; I felt energized and relaxed at the same time.

It was amazing how she focused on my energy release areas and how that helped to loosen up and release tension throughout my body to get my energy to flow properly.
