I've recently been fairly stressed, so I've been scouring through Groupon for massages at a…read morediscount. Through the site, Executive Retreat had great reviews, so I gave the 60 minute massage (+ aromatherapy) a shot! The scheduling of the appointment was a little back and forth, but being a smaller establishment, I could understand when I got their voicemail. I will say though, they did always call me back. I scheduled my appointment for 5:30 in the afternoon - enough time for me to come in from work. Fortunately, there wasn't any traffic, so I was there 45 minutes early. I easily found their building, but found that they were away until my appointment time. That was fine...I went to Qdoba and ate dinner. Got back at about 5:20 and it was open. The space is very calming. The purple wall color and soft lighting put me at ease. I had to fill out some paperwork and then was escorted to a room. The massage therapist and I chatted for a bit about my goals of the session and she left to let me get undressed. One thing I do like, that this place didn't do, is a foot bath. My feet were in shoes all day and really could have used the soak. But eh, what can you do. We started the session and the massage was great. There were a few things that were different - like she had me push down on my leg against her hand (similar to physical therapy), and she only did it to one leg - but overall, it was relaxing and I felt good afterwards. It was only when I left that I realized that I didn't get any aromatherapy. Not a big deal, but if you order it, make sure you ask about it up front.

I got to pick therapist, or they will pick the therapist for you based on the schedule if you have no preference. Too bad they only have limited selection on evenings and Saturdays. The environment is very calm and relaxing, with soothing music and lighting. My therapist Amanda was amazing. I have been sitting in office and my shoulder and upper back was tight and tired. I requested to do the deep-tissue massage, with my pick of lavender essential oils. After the hour of massage, I felt so relaxed! I highly recommend to anyone!

There are few things more wonderful than a great massage, and Jen Harrison delivers on that front!…read more I can always tell when I need a massage -- the tension in my neck gets to where it won't let up, and I know that it's time to leave it to a pro. Having recently heard about Jen Harrison, I decided to check her out when I some free time recently. Located on Dundee Rd, she is in the building on the corner of Bardstown, Dundee and Douglass, directly across from the Twig and Leaf. The sign is deceptive, "Metro" is the biggest name on the marquee. I walked past it once before giving her a call. She answered on the first ring and pleasantly directed me to where I needed to go. Once inside, the space is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. I quickly jumped onto the heated table and let her work her magic. We had discussed which places I was feeling needed the most work, so she made sure to spend extra time on those areas during the session. Pressure was just right, and I could feel a good deal of my stress melting away as she kneaded every knot that she encountered. I got a 90 minute massage, and I highly recommend that you do the same. That extra relaxation is worth the additional dough. If you're thinking of getting a massage soon, don't hesitate to check out Jen's practice! You may quickly find a new favorite way to unwind when you do.

The room was dim with music play low which gave a peaceful feel and set the mood for the massage. Jen was great about explaining the treatment.

When she was massaging my back and neck (my problem areas) I could feel the pain, but even that felt good. After the massage, I felt the difference in my body. I will definitely be returning.

I like deep pressure, and massages with Amanda always hurt so good! I feel like I've been worked out and my stress and physical injuries always go away after a session. The Novo salon has shared parking lot in the rear, and you can enter from the back steps. During COVID-19, Amanda has been very safe. When you arrive for your appointment you have to stay in your vehicle until she lets you know to come up, once upstairs you must wash your hands, leave your shoes at the inner door, and then she takes your temperature. I have felt very protected when getting a massage. Also, Amanda offers a discount program where if you book and pre-pay your next massage you receive a discount!
