Sally was extremely accommodating, professional and friendly. When I hadn't showed up 5 minutes into our appointment, she reached out with a very personalized text message to make sure I was not lost. Their studio had moved about two blocks down the street, but I still had the wrong address (completely on me). She made sure I knew how to get to the new location and even which side of the building to park on. Even though we started late, she was still able to perform my full one hour massage. I was extremely relaxed the entire time. The music was gorgeous and had me picturing beautiful nature scenes. I had to fight the urge to fall asleep a few times. I left feeling calm and serene. I felt more limber. The back and hip pain I had before going was gone. I would absolutely go back. If you are looking for a less commercial spa feel and more of a crystals, chakra, warm vibe, this is a great place for you. The parking is ample as well, but is metro accessible too.

Once you're in the door, they still follow strict hygienic guidelines in order to prevent the spread of illnesses, but with enough positive energy to get you into a relaxed mood. Sarah was amazing and really helped make my first time here an awesome one. They made it a safe space for me to feel comfortable enough to ask any questions and concerns. Throughout the massage, Sarah would check in with me to ensure that everything was to my liking. To summarize, this place "Shined" despite the rainy weather... Sorry, I kind of had to do the pun.

Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined, and it now feels as though anyone regardless of training or skill level is allowed to provide massages. Today, I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment but wasn't seen until 15 minutes after my scheduled time. I ended up leaving the treatment room just 12 minutes into the session. The service was completely unskilled: rushed, inconsistent, lacking rhythm, and missing the foundational techniques that define a competent, professional massage therapist. A skilled therapist uses intentional pressure, consistent/proper flow, and an understanding of muscle anatomy to create a therapeutic and cohesive experience none of which were present. Realizing the session was doing more harm than good, I made the decision to end it and leave. The front desk staff clearly knew something had gone wrong, as my early departure was obviously due to dissatisfaction. Yet I was still charged $139. Not only is that unreasonable, but deeply unprofessional. When I called for clarification, I was met with a scripted cancellation-policy explanation given by the same employee who witnessed me ending the service early and leaving the studio upset. Only after pressing for details was I told I'd need to speak with a manager. The entire interaction was dismissive, confusing, and frankly, insulting. This visit brought frustration instead of the relaxation this business is supposed to offer. And for anyone who believes the service I received, particularly from Pam, is acceptable, I can assure you they have not experienced a true massage from a trained, skilled professional.

*Part 2 Of 2* 12/15/24…read moreThe Massage Experience: Once ready, I climbed on to the massage table and waited for Mei to enter the room. Mei started with my neck and worked her way down to my back. I remember her doing things differently than other massage therapists. I liked how Mei layered the massage cream onto my skin without seeming to remove her hands from my body. I liked this style of hers. It felt great the way she did it. I will be sure to request her again for a two hour session. While Mei massaged my shoulders and back, her method of massage was mainly her forearms and elbows. While my right shoulder was sore from tension, she did help relieve a good amount of pain. Mei's forearm on my gluteus maximus wasn't bad, but her elbow on my glutes was too strong. I asked Mei to use her hands and fingers more. She did not fully understand what I was saying, so used a method in American Sign Language called Classifiers, to help her understand. I simply used my own hands on my glutes and demonstrated massaging my backside with hands and fingers. Mei got the message and got down to business. Mei learned too that I am not one for hot stone massage. Now that I am saying this, why do I think someone might say "John, you know hot stone massage might help your right shoulder." Maybe, Should Be, Could Be or Would Be, I will try it out next time I get a massage in September. Mei did a good job on my body, but most of the massage was focused on the area with the most amount of tension . By the time Mei finished massaging my legs, my 90 minutes were almost up. Mei finished off my massage with a foot massage using petroleum jelly and suave lotion. This method seemed to make my feet less greasy. This is a good thing considering I was wearing tevas. Mei used a hot towel to get any leftover residue off my feet so I wouldn't slip and slide. I left a decent tip for Mei. I will definitely come back here again, but next time I will make an appointment so she will be available. I recommend trying this place out. The prices are fair and you get your money's worth too. If you wish to get a private room, it is better that you call and make an appointment. 90 minutes is great, but to get the Full Monty, two hour or three is your best bet. Needful Things-In Case You Didn't Know: Since there is a good side of things. I am compelled to express my concerns on things I saw while getting my massage. When I spoke about the massage table being too close to the doorway/curtain area, I wasn't kidding. Since I do not like putting my face in the hole of the massage table, I noticed the curtain move and a person's face appeared in the gap. After the person and I locked eyes, the person quickly moved away and the curtain resumed it previous position. Invasion of privacy is not welcome. This is not the first time I have experienced something like this. I let it go. Possible mistake?! Maybe. My body started to relax again, when I saw the curtain open back up again. This is when I was on my back this time around. The same scenario played out again. My mind started thinking a sign of some kind should go up letting staff know the room is occupied. If this continues to happen, people might start refusing to pay for invasion of privacy. I let the second intrusion slide as well, but there will not be another one without consequences. Please put a sign up letting others know the room is in use. Apparently curtains closed isn't an indication the room is in use.

My initial visit was such an enlightening & liberating experience for me & my multi ailments. Marie not only exudes a qualified, calming & gifted approach with her seasoned techniques, she will school you from A-Z concisely yet expeditiously in this amazing component of traditional Chinese medicine. Her healing perspective in conjunction with this form of alternative medicine was a internal blowing of my mind, body & spirit. The thin needles were darn near touch-less & barely noticeable as she studied the numerous acupuncture points before inserting them into my specific body parts. For me, I walked away with less discomfort from the chronic aspect & it became more evident/effective later in the day & evening. Per design, everyone's make up is unique...as for me, this was better accommodating & cost efficient to the standard care & reiteration of "you should have back surgery" - NEGATIVE.
