On my first visit, Lindsey sat down with me before the massage and asked about my past massage experience and made sure I was comfortable with the service. Before each visit, she also asks if there's anything in particular you want worked on. During the massage you can expect total comfort, a relaxing experience, and to leave feeling refreshed! Lindsey also adapts your experience to meet your needs and will make a note for the next time if there's something that you didn't like or wanted done differently, which I really appreciate. You can't go wrong with booking here.

Equally important for me, is that she's kind and trustworthy. It's hard to relax and feel comfortable in these situations for me.

After my previous therapist left the chain she was at, I started hunting for a new therapist. I ran…read moreacross Tranquil Waves, and because they were conveniently located, I got in touch with Kerstin, and made an appointment, and I am very glad I did. Kerstin is a sweet, wonderful, and knowledgeable LMT. She knows the pressure points, communicates well (without distracting from the massage), and listens well. I normally judge a massage by how "with it" I am at the end. After an hour with Kerstin, I was so relaxed that I had to lean against the massage table (which is heated) for a moment while getting re-dressed. That is a sign of a good massage. But what really sold me on Kerstin is the following: 1) When you book a 60 minute massage, you get 60 minutes, not 50 like at the chains. 2) Included in the price was a hot towel and a little aromatherapy, both of which may be additional at other places. 3) The heated massage table - that is a big plus. 4) Her skill and politeness. It was definitely one of the best massages I've had, and I left feeling great. 5) It is a few days after my appointment, and I still feel good. I would not hesitate to refer people to her, and I will certainly be back. For about the same price as a chain membership 50 minute massage + Aromatherapy, you can get a 60 minute massage in a non-strip mall environment that includes aromatherapy. Kerstin and Tranquil Waves is a combination of High value + High Knowledge + Kind Personality which equals a Great Massage.

Since I saw Daisy (formerly Jing Jing) was under new ownership with new staff, I decided to give…read morethem a shot on Friday (a rainy Veteran's day). Overall, I'd say my specific experience was closer to 3.5 stars, but I'll bump them up to 4, giving the benefit of the doubt that some issues detailed below were beyond the control of the therapist and spa. The good: **Mary is a fantastic massage therapist. She was communicative, friendly, and responsive when I asked for adjustments/changes. She understood what I wanted to have her focus on and did a great job. By herself, it would be a 5* experience. **The spa is clean and relaxing. Both the massage rooms and the restroom were in great shape. **New Massage tables - at least when compared to my previous experience with Jing Jing/Daisy. **Very affordable, especially with the cash discount for a one-hour massage. Things that could have been better, but I'm not docking a star for: **The night sky ambiance (noted in other google and yelp reviews) wasn't offered - but giving that I'm face up for only about 10-15 minutes, it isn't a huge thing. **Similarly, their website mentions essential oils and hot stone, but again, these weren't offered/discussed. Depending on the cost, they might have been added to the massage. The things that made my overall experience less than stellar: **I called around noon, and made an appointment for 3pm. I arrived around 2:50, and Mary came out of one of the rooms to meet me. She told me things were a bit behind, and it would be 3:15, and showed me what room I would be in. At 3:15, she came in, and said the previous customer was just finishing up. However, by the time the previous customer dressed, paid, and perhaps Mary flipped the room, it was 3:30 before she started with me. So we are a half hour behind the original time. **Mary was also quite busy with being a receptionist - she answered about 5 calls, and had to leave the room to attend to other issues twice. The interruptions definitely affected the flow of the massage. I don't know if they were short staffed, or extra busy due to the rainy federal holiday. **Despite losing some time due to the interruptions for when she had to leave the room, the session ended promptly at 4:30 - no extra time given to make up for time that I was not the initiator of missing time. Most times for the phone she continued the massage while quietly talking to the customer. **At least for my session, the door was kept slightly propped open by a plastic spray bottle on the floor. Not exactly private, especially since I was in the room right next to the lobby. If any one of the above things had been an individual incident, I probably wouldn't think much about them. But when they all occur on the same visit, well... the whole is greater than the sum of the parts... Maybe it was just a rough day for them. Hopefully my next experience will be a little smoother.

I have come here at least half a dozen times and have always seen John D. I moved to Bowie from…read moreGermantown, MD about 3 years ago and had tried several other local massage studios with mixed to awful results. I have severe neck and back tension for the last 12+ years with frequent tension headaches and always ask for *DEEP* pressure. At other massage studios I've either had a massage therapist that was not using enough pressure, wasn't focused on the areas I requested, or did not seem to be well-trained to give a massage. And even if I found a therapist at a studio that provided a decent massage, the next time I would get someone else with wildly different (poor) skills, or after circling the "problem areas" on their form or telling the therapist directly what I wanted, I would just get a generic massage over my whole body instead of any focus areas and they wouldn't avoid the clearly marked "avoid" areas. And even if they immediately recognized and acknowledged "your neck is very tense!" I would leave feeling frustrated, still tense, and feel like I wasted money. Or the therapist would use things like their elbows (why?) to jab into me which was "deep" but didn't seem like it was an actual massage technique or if it *was* it wasn't used appropriately, as deep does not = pushing as hard as you can. After dozens of massages over the years I can tell on the first visit if a place is worth going back to. Onto John: From my very first visit here (Sept 2025) John immediately sat me down and asked, what was bothering me? After going through my issues, he'd then confirm "Would you like me to focus on your neck and shoulders today?" and then get to work. John is a rather big guy, (not sure how tall he is but definitely taller than 6'3!) and can look intimidating but he's a big softie! As a woman who mainly preferred female therapists, I was immediately comfortable with John and have exclusively booked with him since that first visit because I can tell he knows what he's doing and I always feel better after my appointments with him. I've also gone to my last several visits in a walking boot (I have an achilles injury) and he's made sure I'm comfortable and I completely trust him to avoid my injured leg and listen to what I need each time. My hips and lower back have been very sore from the walking boot height difference compared to my functional leg and he's focused on that recently at my request and it has helped immensely with my pain. I've always booked 1 hr visits but have considered booking longer visits which I never really have done elsewhere! Elements is more expensive than the non-chain studios in the area, but those places weren't worth the cost anyway! Another national chain (has envy in the name, you know who!) gave me a super lackluster massage in the past so I had been hesitant to try a chain again, but my experience at Elements has remedied that fear! Elements also offers gift card deals occasionally that give a discount which I just utilized for their mother's day specials. I will continue to book with John for as long as he is available at the Crofton location! I've also had great experiences with the receptionist - when using gift cards, canceling an appt after I chose a different day and time, and I've also had her reach out to offer an earlier time when John had a cancellation. The only thing I wish they offered was the ability to cancel your own appointments online but I understand they might not offer that so that people aren't constantly cancelling. A small critique as calling or texting the receptionist gets a quick reply always! Although I have not booked with anyone else besides John (looks like I've had 6 appts with him) based on his skills and knowledge I would bet the other therapists know what they're doing also! I will also consider getting a membership here because I know that I will keep going back :)
