had an amazing experience at Massage Savvy! Kate truly listened to what I needed and focused on the areas that were giving me the most trouble. She was attentive, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I was able to completely relax, and I left feeling so much better than when I arrived. It was honestly one of the best massages I've ever had. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality massage. I can't wait to come back! read more

I was a bit disappointed over a minor incident but after speaking to owner . I felt at ease. His empathy and understanding says alot. Will go back ! read more

I'll have to agree with Toral K.'s review a little bit. This location is very conveniently located, although when you walk in, it does still have a sort of strip mall type of layout. Cucumber infused water is always a nice touch. My husband treated me and him to a couple's massage to celebrate my birthday. We've had couple's massages before so we already knew what to expect. Our appointment was for 3pm, but they seemed to be running a bit behind. (Which at the time was kind of bothersome because we had other plans to attend right after) Overall, our massages where very nice for the introductory $49.95, not sure that those massages were worth $100 each regularly. It did seem though that there could have totally been more massaging. As in, a lot of time was used repositioning and moving blankets/sheets, etc. As we paid for our services, the woman behind the counter didn't seem to know exactly how to redeem our gift certificate and she had to ask a co-worker for help. read more

Massage Savvy - Massage Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

Leaving a review because the front desk mentioned my massage therapist was relatively new to the team and she deserves hype. I'm not exactly sure how to spell her name but Phelicia (Felicia?) was absolutely amazing. I went in with a really sore neck and upper back and woke up the next day (almost) completely cured.. She was super perceptive to all my kinks and knots and just had really great technique and VERY strong in the best way. Really appreciated what she did for me and I will be back. Also all others working there were very nice! read more

Been a fan for some time - and a review is LONG overdue. The hubs and I have been going for a few years now, off and on. This year, renewed our membership...how unlucky that "the world" decided to change and keep us from going for a few months. The hubs and I used to trade off massage therapists, depending on who we were in the mood for (as each therapist has their own style), but ultimately, after experiencing a number of therapists, have settled on Joshua and Andrew as our favorites. Both very thorough, and neither messes around when it comes to deep tissue (which is our preferred "strength") - we're always sore in the best way the next day. But this weekend, however, I was able to enjoy the added benefit of some reiki from Joshua. I've felt kind of "stuck" for a while and haven't had a reiki session in many years. The blending of both wasn't just physically blissful, but well over 24 hours later, my energies are feeling more balanced than I have a loooooong while. The wonderful thing about this facility isn't just the wonderful staff. Their service offerings have really expanded over the years and of all the massage spas I've visited, they're really the best. It's a clean, quiet, calm and thoroughly lovely experience every time. You really do feel like the staff cares about your experience...and even with the "state of the world," have created a consisted level of care. They're just fantastic! read more

Facial was very nice, price for the facial was a little steep I believe. The introductory massage price was nice, but it wasn't good enough that I would come back. She did the same repetitive motions with firm pressure for half of the time, so now those areas are sore too. she didn't work on the areas that I told her I needed work on. I also could hear the massage therapist and client next door talking. It wasn't the most relaxing atmosphere. read more

I tried this place for the first time a few months ago. They were able to fit me in the same day for a massage. My masseuse was Katie. She was very kind and she made me feel so relaxed. So relaxed that I most definitely nodded off for at least a few. They have a variety of other great services available, including floating, which I am a big fan of. I have not utilized any of these other services yet, but am looking forward to it at some point! They do have a variety of different packages and pricing for the services as well. As a first timer, they did give me a new customer discount for the massage. I have looked at the many options available, but still have not made the leap. It is not because I do not like this place, but because I just never think I have the time. Perhaps signing up for one will be a part of my New Year's resolution to take self care a bit more seriously. read more

Facials are very good. The massage I had wasn't terrible and wasn't terrific. I will try a massage again. All around solid place.

Absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time ever getting a massage and I was super nervous all weekend about getting one, and I shouldn't have been. Jeff was my massage therapist and made me eel comfortable and did an excellent job. My shoulders neck and back was basically just one big knot and the day after I feel like a new man. I will definitely be coming at least monthly from now on read more

My boyfriend and I just got a couples massage to celebrate our two year an anniversary. This was our first time here and it was amazing!! Samyirah and Kate, fabulous !! So relaxing and will definitely be back read more

Great massage. I had a 90 minute Swedish massage with Katie. I feel so much looser and relaxed!!!

Nice family owned business. Clean and welcoming. Great price for bundle of sessions. Handicap accessible. Made my second appointment already. read more

Massage Savvy - Massage Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

After looking everywhere for a couples massage, we finally found massage savvy. We were having a tough time finding a place that was reasonably priced and offered a quality massage- but Massage Savvy definitely fit the bill. There are 4 things I generally judge a massage parlor on- Ambiance, Customer Service, Price, and of course the massage. The ambiance and customer service were perfect. It a small, but very cozy location. Everything was extremely clean and well kept which you always like to see. We were warmly greeted and given time before and after our massage to unwind and enjoy some hot tea. As first time users the $49 into price was extremely affordable. I definitely recommend at least taking advantage of the intro offer- but you will probably want to go back for more! As for the massage, it was perfect! Excellent full body swedish massage- but what impressed us most was the attention to detail. It's the little things like the hot towel, warm booties, eye mask, and heated blanket that really made it feel like a personalized experience. The therapists were very polite, and accommodating. The owner told us they will soon be moving to a new location- we definitely look forward to returning for more massages. When you compare this to similarly priced locations like Massage Works and Massage Envy, Massage Savvy blows them all away. read more

Excellent massage. My alignment was way off and Jeff was able to get me back to normal.

Amazing experience had 60 min couples Massage with foot Scrub and a glass of Wine. The massage therapist was very experienced and had a Soothing touch . Over all happy read more

Since I've had professional massage therapy for years, I am happy to recommend Massage Savvy! I had an appointment today and met with "Amber," for the first time. What a sweetheart! I can say with conviction and pleasure that she gave me one of the best massages I've ever experienced. The reception when we walked into the place was warm and friendly. My daughter and I both had treatments and she was very happy with her massage therapist as well! The place is in the rear of a building complex right on Route 1, fairly easy to find. For $49.00 I got a thorough, totally relaxing treatment including hot towers and warm packs for one hour. That is a VERY good value! I'll be back, for sure! I'm still in a sublime state even though I had the massage around noon today! Very happy with this place! read more

Love this place!! I wrote an awesome review which yelp removed! I'm very disappointed in yelp not allowing me to promote this first class family run day spa! So aside from this, you will not be disappointed in the friendliness, cleanliness, or comfortable surroundings of this day spa. Many add on options at a perfect price point for those of us who enjoy monthly massages. All of the massage therapists are skilled in their art, and aim to please! All of my experiences here go unmatched to many of my pricier massages at other places. Give massage savvy a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Never had to 'endure' a massage before. Will NOT return. Went in for basic but specific work- mainly low back, traps/shoulders. I Informed, Sarah, my therapist 3 times (1x before massage started, 2x during) of my areas of tension. She ignored me and started the full body massage with my arm instead! Finally She began my right trap after starting on my right arm- she pinched my trap so hard i said " ouch" - she said "sorry" and moved to my left arm- never returned to either of my traps again! I showed her with my own hands where i needed work on my lower back- she said "i'm sorry, i can't push on your sacrum. Its just not good." I wasn't asking her to "push" my sacrum! She performed many weird disjointed, annoying movements- definitely the oddest massage I've ever had. It was as if she didn't know anything about anatomy!ie... Stopping in the middle of long muscles, starting in odd places, focusing on bizarre areas of little therapeutic significance. Perhaps Sarah is a family hire, an owners niece, and she has never been formally trained? IDK. When i went to pay, I clearly was not happy, nor satisfied when asked how it went by admins at front desk. I asked if either of them were owners. They answered "we are co-owners ."They offered me a wellness membership to which i said " I won't be back." Neither of the co- owners batted an eyelash, nor asked if I were dissatisfied! They obviously only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear and where not at all open to constructive criticisms. The following are my 5 humble constructive criticisms: 1-Have therapist check in multiple times with client during massage re: pressure and pace . 2- have therapist ACTUALLY listen to AND perform healing touch WHERE IT IS REQUESTED- work with each client to meet their needs and NEVER say NO to a client when they are asking for help. 3- have therapist pace their stokes to suit the clients needs. 4- Train therapists to pay attention to clients breathing, words/sounds, and body language during sessions. Anyone with any instruction or experience can tell the difference between a sigh of frustration and a sigh of relief! 5- Use the majority of strokes to PUSH BLOOD TOWARDS THE HEART, NOT away from it. My Swedish massage was PAINFULLY slow and ineffective. It was nice to be moisturized but i can do that at home without paying$50. I left with a headache. read more

Just had my first massage by a male. Holy Toledo! Joshua was absolutely fabulous! K, let me start from the beginning. Friendly people at the front desk. Inviting waiting area. Clean. The rooms are comfy with low lighting, great music, all of what you would expect from a great massage facility. Joshua welcomed me, asked the basic questions, gave me time to get on the table and then Wow! It took me all of about 2 minutes to get over my unease of having a male. The pressure was perfect. Right amount of lotions and oils so I didn't feel like a wet seal or slippery eel! All about stress relief and muscle massage! Heating pad on my back with wet steamy towels! Then flip and heating pad on my chest, baggies and heat booties for my feet! Couldn't wait to join and sign up for my next one. Joshua performs Reiki and my next will be a 60 minute massage with a 30 minute Reiki session! Oh yeah, I checked out the lower level that has a float pod!!! Not sure I'm ready for that but time will tell! Love this privately owned facility! Remember it's Savvy! Not Envy! See you guys in four weeks, if I can wait that long!!!! read more

I went here, with my daughter, the first time in 2013 when they were a tiny place, run by a retired couple. Maria, the wife (who no longer massages anyone) gave a good massage, but I remember the other person, who massaged my daughter with me in the couples suite, wore about a dozen clattery bangle bracelets, believe it or not. We laughed about it all the way home. That pretty much sums up their professional touches: a hodgepodge of loud flutey music and pre-packaged peanut butter crackers from BJ's Warehouse in the guest lounge, wildly variable massage skills and standards (one massage therapist sported such long nails that I could not bear much of the massage and had to keep directing her to stop digging my back) and other basic standards, and a stunning lack of care for the client base. Sadly, they have grown in size without growing their attendant professionalism or caring touches that you expect from a massage therapy business. What a disappointment. read more

Great service! I had a 60 minute Swedish from Deb that turned more into a deep tissue because I needed it. Deb was so nice and really catered to what I needed, asking if I wanted to spend the full hour just on my back (no other massage business has done this!) because it was extremely knotted up. Excellent business! read more

Stopped by for a massage the other day after hearing about this place from a friend. Amazing! I'm a waiter so I went for the 90 minute massage with deep muscle therapy, which was more than worth the extra $10. Amber was great, she used hot towels, hot packs, and this icy-hot gel that felt incredible. A definate go-to from now on read more

Absolutely fantastic. Each one of their therapists has a uniquely different touch so you will find a perfect match for your body's needs. They actually offer a loyalty program for frequent guests so a Swedish massage ends up only costing $49... or just 10 clams more for a deep tissue. At that price- you can get two or three for what'd cost to go to a larger spa. I like the little extras they offer as well. Each massage includes hot towel service, warm booties, heated table and a hot pack on your back! Heaven!! Unlike most places, Massage Savvy actually gives you a full hour- NOT 50 mins. Those 10 make a nice difference!! Better yet- they just started offering facial services. Treat yourself to a massage AND facial! Make a day of it and bring a loved one if you want (they have a couple's room). Why bother with Groupon? Seriously? More often than not, you are getting an inexperienced therapist just out of school. That's just throwing time and money out of the window when you can get someone with MANY years under their belt at an amazing price. You'll absolutely want to go back. Trust me. I'm a pro ;-) read more

Over the years, I've become very picky about just the right massage. I've paid hundreds for massages at swanky places, only to leave still tight and stressed. Massage Savvy is my go-to place now! Two of the best therapists I've had are Maria and Amber. They identify your tight spots and know just what to do! With the great pricing, I now get the 90 minute since that added time seems to make a huge difference. The staff is professional, courteous and welcoming. It's a must-try! read more

I joined the membership club and started getting massages every other week. I began to feel so much better so I now am going every week. Atira is the best! She really works out any areas that I ask her too and the pressure is perfect. The waiting area is relaxing and inviting. The massage rooms are very clean and comfortable. read more

Massage Savvy is awesome. I have been a customer for many years and have found them to be professional and helpful. The staff there gives a great massage. The owners are very nice people and it is always a pleasure to see them. I highly recommend them! Karen Johnson read more

Marc was great he is the owner. Massage Saavy has a fantastic interior design, they also offer teas in cute mugs for your waiting pleasure. Customer service is top notch. Wonderful experience. read more

I have been to this establishment several times and I am never disappointed. Gino is phenomenal!! The place is clean and the decor is very relaxing. The staff is super friendly and always willing to offer suggestions. Prices are better than any place around. Clearly I will be returning- hopefully sooner rather than later! read more

I've had literally over a hundred massages and I can say this place is top notch. It is not the luxury spa retreat type of place but more simply a relaxing place to get an excellent massage. They just moved into a new facility conveniently located on Route 1. There is a nice waiting area/relaxation room though I've never waited for more than a minute or two. If you want a deep tissue massage, tell them this when you call and ask for a LMT that specializes in deep tissue. They have 2 or 3 that are excellent. The price is very good and if you do get frequent massages, the 'wellness plan' is a good option. It is simply like a membership for 6 months that gives you the intro rate. By the way, at $49 intro rate for a Swedish massage, that is a very good price. I believe the wellness program pays for itself if you get 4 or more massages in 6 months. This is a family run business and it feels that way. They know your name when you arrive, greet you sincerely and warmly, etc. Highly recommend you give it a try. read more

I just had my first massage at Massage Savvy after receiving a gift certificate here. My massage therapist Alyssa was wonderful. It was a nice, quiet atmosphere (I'm not a talker during massages) and the firmness of pressure was perfect. She was a wonderful massage therapist and I had a great massage. I will definitely be returning! read more

Just moved to madison ct & my husband & I love to get twice a MTh massages - this place makes it affordable !!!!! Found a therapist right away (Amber) that was fantastic :-) family owned business - lovely people who matched my needs !!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. J Platanos read more

I have been to many places for massages and the only reason i don't go more often is the price. But massage savvy is a very professional place to go and their massages from Maria have been awsome. I do intend on going more often to get their special price within 30 days. Keep up the good work massage savvy. carol read more

I was first introduced to Massage Savvy my by in-laws. They have been clients there for years - before it was Massage Savvy - and have always raved about it. Since moving back to Guilford in April, my husband and I have enjoyed getting regular massages there as part of the wellness program, and every therapist we have worked with has been fantastic. The spa is clean, comfortable and a great escape from your daily routine. read more

Great experience from start to finish. Very pleasant man answered phone, gave me choice of male or female. When I arrived learned he was one owner, part of a family business, very gracious and welcoming. My masseuse Fedeline was delightful - gentle disposition with strong hands, very thorough and therapeutic massage. Soothing ambiance, updated decor. I will be back! read more

Went here for a couples massage and it was great! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. This is the best my body has felt in quite some time. read more

Hard to believe there aren't more reviews of this gem. Great location, easy parking, terrific staff, friendly and helpful. This place is immaculate! A hip problem was correctly identified and worked on by the massage therapist. Now going just for the sheer pleasure!! Sauna and float tank look clean and inviting. May try soon! read more

Total sucked!!!! They charged me 90 for a half done facial. What a waste of money I will never go back!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Massage Savvy. Each time I go I have a great experience no matter who the therapist. Wish I made it here more. read more

This was a fantastic service! I am so impressed by this little place; it really is a hidden gem!! I highly recommend Jackie! She knows exactly what she is doing, and explains everything, if you want to know. It is quiet, relaxing, and so comfortable. It is definitely the best massage I have ever received! read more

If you ever feel sore after a workout, stressed from work or kids, or just need a little R&R, then this is the place for you! I love the staff, friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable in human physiology. The owners are great, always coordinating the right therapist for the type of massage you want. The best part is that they usually work to accommodate your schedule so that's a great thing especially when you have kids and a busy schedule! read more
