    Skylar is truly an exceptional massage therapist. I've been seeing him regularly for the past five…read moremonths for deep tissue/NMT sessions, and they are consistently the best massages I've ever had. What sets Skylar apart is his advanced musculoskeletal knowledge, his technique, and his incredible intuition. I sometimes joke that he has X-ray vision. Even if I can't name every ache or area of tension, Skylar somehow finds and treats every sore spot and addresses patterns I didn't even realize were contributing to the issue. After five months of consistent sessions, I've had a significant reduction in chronic back and neck pain, less overall soreness, and even an improvement in my overall wellbeing. Skylar's deep tissue work is firm and therapeutic while still being relaxing -- a rare combination. He is also especially skilled at treating harder-to-access areas (i.e. around and under the scapula) that many therapists don't effectively address. Barefoot Bliss Massage is a gem -- it has a soothing atmosphere; Holly, Phoenix and Stacy at the reception desk are welcoming and so helpful; easy online booking; and very reasonable pricing (the membership is a great value). Highly recommend Skylar and Barefoot Bliss.

    Massage therapist, Jessica, was absolutely incredible. Left feeling 100% better than when I walked…read morein!

    Very disappointing experience…read more I was really looking forward to this appointment, especially as a busy mom who does not get much time to carve out for myself, but unfortunately this was one of the worst massage experiences I have ever had. My massage therapist walked in through the front door five minutes after my appointment start time, already putting things off on the wrong foot. During the massage, she asked if I wanted more pressure and I said yes, but the massage remained extremely weak and half-hearted, often using only one hand. I began to suspect she was distracted or not fully present. Eventually, I could not ignore the feeling anymore. I told her I needed to use the restroom, got up, and when I checked, she was on her phone actively watching something and she tried hiding her phone under the sheet. At that point, I walked out without finishing the service. I was so uncomfortable and unhappy that I could not take another minute. While the front desk receptionist was kind, she was having an open conversation with another massage therapist, loudly discussing her neighbor and calling him a redneck, which felt highly unprofessional and inappropriate for a spa environment. To make matters worse, the bathroom felt neglected. The faucet handle did not work properly, and there was a half used open water bottle with no cap sitting on the shelf, which was unsettling and unsanitary. As I was leaving, she told me that management would call me to follow up, but I never received a call. Overall, the space did not feel relaxing, calming, or professional. I left feeling frustrated and upset that my time and money were wasted. It is incredibly disappointing when you finally make time for self care and are met with such poor service and lack of respect for the client experience. I truly hope management addresses these issues, because this was not acceptable.

    I've never been one for massages. Usually, it's something I get guilted into while on…read morevacation--some overpriced, sterile "wellness" ritual peddled by hotel spas that care more about cucumber water and ambient flute music than actually fixing your back. You know the type: one-size-fits-all treatments with names like "Zen Renewal" or "Earth Embrace," run with the efficiency and warmth of a TSA checkpoint. But Massage Associates? Different story. No pretentious fountain gurgling in the lobby, no whispery receptionist pushing eucalyptus diffusers like they're selling snake oil. This place is raw, real, and refreshingly un-fancy. It's about the work--the grind, the muscle, the human connection. They ask questions, they listen, and they tailor the experience like they actually give a damn. Because they do. You're not just passing through. You're becoming part of something--a regular. And you're getting that at a price that doesn't make you hate yourself afterward. So if you're looking for the theatrical, the perfumed illusion of wellness... keep walking. But if you want the real deal--the kind of massage that works, not performs--then pull up a chair. Massage Associates gets it right.
