I cannot say enough great things about Ma'Ati Spa!
Let me state that I have gone to spas and body therapists for years; primarily ones run by local business people in whatever location I am visiting or living. I was enthralled with Ma'Ati Spa's beautiful decor, wonderful artwork, amazing music, and the variety of therapists.
My sister and I sort of stumbled upon the Spa after exchanging pleasantries with a woman in a Winston-Salem restaurant who turned out to be the owner (Maya). Since we were spending the day in Winston and enjoying the downtown area, of which we were both unfamiliar, we excitedly accepted Maya's offer for a free aromatherapy session. So after lunch, we easily located the spa and saw what looked like the outside of a small warehouse. Upon entering, we were blown away and immediately fell in love with the beautiful setting. After aromatherapy, we eagerly asked if they had 2 openings for hot stone massages, and they did! Since their 2 private rooms were booked, we received our hand massages in the central area. The seats were very comfortable, and two large floor screens were set up to offer us privacy. As the stones were heating, we were offered beverages and chose hot Chinese tea. Carlton was my masseuse, and I highly recommend him. He was sensitive to my needs when I needed a lighter or deeper touch. I had been suffering greatly from Carpal Tunnel for at least 3 weeks, even having difficulty holding a steering wheel for very long. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that one hot stone hand massage, even by a gifted masseuse, would give me such ongoing relief, especially since I had already received a full body massage from my local body therapist the previous week. Because of Carlton, the extreme pain of the Carpal Tunnel greatly eased up in both hands, and immediately afterwards I could comfortably move my fingers and wrists. The following day I only felt soreness, instead of the piercing pain that had been going on for almost a month. Within a week, the debilitating pain I had been experiencing was completely gone!!
We were so pleased with our experience, my sister and I booked reflexology and hot stone appointments for the next day. Since I live in Graham, we drove 1 hour, 1 way, just to come back to Ma'Ati's!! We were thrilled to learn that we also received a 25% discount on our appointments for the next day. Apparently, this is standard anytime another appointment is booked. And since I gave the spa my email, I now get unbelievable additional offers every month. After my first experience with Carlton, I requested him for my reflexology session for the next day. All I can say is that he has a gift and is intuitive to what area he needs to focus on in order to best treat my individual needs!
Because our experiences were so great, after my sister left, I made another appointment for my Mom and me. Since my integrative doctor is in Winston, Ma'Ati Spa is convenient for me to visit and is a nice addition to my holistic care! At the age of 83, my Mother received her first hot stone massage. Like me, she loved the people, environment and of course the massage! And for someone who does not like much music, she even commented about how wonderful the music in the spa sounded! Moreblessings is the woman who gave me my hot stone hand massage that day; she came recommended by Carlton since he was understandably booked that day. Again, I had a wonderful treatment.
Finally, I want to mention one additional bonus. While my sister and I were waiting for our aromatherapy to be set up on that first day, I met Judy, who is a Life Coach, and who can be booked through the Spa or privately. She is so very talented and incredibly affordable. Needless to say, I have already had my first session. I gained more from it than I have in months of counseling. And after such a beneficial session, I look forward to seeing her again after I process the wealth of information gained from my first session.
I have encouraged everyone I know in Winston, Greensboro, and the Graham area that they visit Ma'Ati Spa!! I have even told my Integrative doctor about the Spa, as well as, my Graham body therapist who I see every 3 weeks!! When my sister comes to visit again, we have every intention of spending the day in Winston and making Ma'Ati Spa a part of that day!
My only suggestion is that Maya order some business cards so it will be easier for me to share the Spa's information with others.
