I've had plenty of massages before, but the best one I've ever had was here at Century Massage…read more I received the best massage from Gwen!!! She was amazing, sweet, funny, and very accommodating to all my needs. I came in for a prenatal massage, with pain in my shoulders, neck, lower back, and legs. Usually I will have to ask for more pressure, but she already knew! She targeted all the areas I asked for and applied strong pressure throughout the entire massage to get rid of all my pain. I walked out feeling like a new woman

I typically do not write reviews, but after being a loyal client of this business for approximately…read moretwo years, I feel compelled to document my recent experience for anyone considering becoming a client. My concern is not with the massage services themselves, but with the conduct and business decisions of one of the owners. I was extremely uncomfortable when the owner chose to involve me, as a client, in deeply personal issues and conflict involving her spouse and business partner. I was told personal details about their relationship, the business separation, and her intentions regarding the other owner. None of this was appropriate or relevant to me as a client, and I should never have been placed in the middle of an internal dispute. What concerned me most was the apparent inability to separate personal emotions from professional responsibilities. Whatever issues may exist between two spouses are personal matters. Once those issues begin influencing business decisions, staffing, client relationships, scheduling, and the overall client experience, it becomes a business concern. As a longtime client, I was particularly disappointed by the lack of transparency surrounding the changes that followed. A massage therapist I had regularly seen was suddenly removed from the schedule and replaced, without what I felt was appropriate communication to the clients who had established ongoing relationships with her. Clients should not have to discover major changes to their provider through the schedule or simply show up and realize that things have changed. I also found it troubling that personal conflict appeared to extend into the business's public-facing social media. As a client, I should not be exposed to indirect public commentary or personal disputes between business owners. It creates an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment and makes clients question whether business decisions are being made objectively. This experience has been especially disappointing because I genuinely valued this business and had been a loyal client for years. I believe business owners have a responsibility to protect the client experience even when personal circumstances are difficult. Personal disagreements should not become the client's burden, and business decisions should be based on professionalism, communication, and what is best for the business and its clients--not personal emotions or retaliation. I am sharing this because prospective clients deserve to know that the quality of a business is influenced by more than the service being provided. Leadership, professionalism, communication, and the ability to handle internal conflict appropriately matter too. I sincerely hope the owner chooses to separate personal matters from business operations moving forward, because the clients should not be the ones caught in the middle. After two years of loyalty and referrals, it is genuinely disappointing to see a business I once spoke so highly of reach this point.

This clinic has been nothing less than amazing…read more I have been going for a couple weeks already, a few days a week after a car accident, and they have been treating me very well. I started with massages with Larysa, and scheduled to be treated by other masseuses as well. Everyone is kind, professional and Knowledgeable. Dr. Sundara is my acupuncturist. He has blown me away with his kindness, care, attentiveness and I always feel comfortable in his office. Every session works magic. I've had other acupuncturists before but I've never seen results the way I do when working with him. My head always feels lighter. His assist is the kindest soul in the world. I sleep longer and better. I am scheduled 3x a week now because I am seeing rapid results and massages help so much along with acupuncture. He studied in Paris under some of the greatest doctors in the world. He can pretty much cure anything. I never thought one acupuncture appointment can work such wonders. I'm shocked and recommending my friends and family now to sign up to treat their skin issues, brain fog struggles and digestive problems. He is a master. Highly recommend this clinic. It's peaceful, relaxing and a hidden gem in Kent.

This was my first experience at this salon. I came here with my mom to use our spalife gift card…read more Our massage was only 35-40 minutes despite the advertised 50 minutes. We arrived at 5:03pm and intake took about 10 minutes. In all past spa experiences the time starts once the masseuse begins. Not as soon as you walk in the door. Despite that I actually had a nice massage from the kind older lady. My mom's experience was much worse than mine. She said her masseuse was constantly on his phone and using 1 hand to massage her. Overrall a very confusing and unprofessional experience.

Consider me a convert!…read more After a stressful few weeks I found myself on the prowl for a great massage. Being a little naive on the subject, (I was a massage virgin) I thought I'd do some research on Yelp. After seeing a few posts in the events section about stress control and meditation classes, I looked up the Ascension Wellness Center. Not only do they offer treatments of various kinds for both mind and body, they offer exactly what I was looking for... massages! Des Moines isn't exactly a hop skip and a jump from Seattle so I had to be convinced this place was great. After speaking with Jason, (who posted the events I'd seen) I was sold. And by 'sold' I mean I got naked in front of a stranger, sold! My appointment was with a lovely woman named Sonia. Before the actual massage we sat together and filled out the necessary paperwork. I discussed problem areas and she helped work out a customized massage plan for me. I sincerely felt like she listened to what I needed and wanted from the experience. I'd heard stories about how massages can hurt, how it can be a little awkward to be naked, etc. This was totally not so with Sonia. I felt I was in good hands. Literally! In addition to pampering myself with a massage I also tried a cleanse called Aqua Detox. Initially I feared that I'd signed myself up for a colonic. (See my Tummy Temple review!) It's essentially a foot soak where toxins are released through the pores in your feet. It was seriously crazy. I've never seen anything like it but the procedure itself was fascinating. So if you're looking for a spot to get your back rubbed and your nails and hair done - skip out on Ascension. If you're looking for a place where your health is at the center of attention, I'd recommend giving this place a shot. The people who work there are personable and attentive, the spa itself is clean and inviting and it's still a small enough operation where you feel like you're their only priority. Stay tuned - I think I'm headed back to try some meditation and hypnosis next time!

The massage itself was great. My entire body is very sore like I'm made up of 1 gigantic bruise so I was expecting it to be a really painful massage. In a few areas it was but over all it was far less painful than I imagined. I had no pain afterwards though. The guy either has magic fingers or is just THAT skilled. I got this massage 3 days ago and have for the first time in literal years slept through the entire night without waking up. We conversed throughout the entire massage. I'm sure some people may want to sit in quiet but not me. TLDR; Best of the best masseuse. Highly recommend. He's very interactive with his clients which I enjoy.

I got him all pumped up for this and when we got there? The gentleman was totally confused at why we were there. He explained that he didn't read the booking and wasn't able to do a couples massage since he had someone right after the appointment. It might be the best massage on earth but we won't ever know because they use a booking app that they don't read. Will definitely go elsewhere in the future. Super unprofessional and the reaction by the massage therapist was really flippant like it didn't matter. This was going to be my husband's father's day treat since we spent the actual weeks around father's day in the hospital with our daughter so this was just a huge bummer.

This has always been a very clean, hygienic location, and I felt safe coming into today for a prenatal massage. Lisa and I both wore masks the entire time. (Note: I've never worn a mask before for a massage and honestly was a little bit curious about how it'd feel to be face down on the massage table, but as soon as she started, I forgot all my worries!) Her prenatal set-up is great. She has a body cushion that leaves room for your belly and breasts, so nothing is uncomfortably squished. Lisa is a magician with her hands. The entire massage I was waxing poetic in my head to her because it felt soooo relaxing. Her hands are full of compassion. She really knows how to work out knots, especially in your neck/shoulders. I'll definitely continuing going to Lisa for my wellness, and I hope this woman-owned business continues to get lots of support. Lisa's massages are worth every penny!

Loved it so much that I changed my appt from 60-min to 90-min on the spot. Renewing my 5-session package for $328 on the day. Good thing is that can share my package with other people so it is a must-deal if you're a repeated customer like me :)
