Listen up. Ahhhsome…read moreRelaxation is an absolutely stunning secret garden. I took my husband there on a surprise date last night and I was blown away by how extensively creative this entire place is. Every single square foot within is filled with so much intent to be a calming, sacred and rejuvenating area. The building is filled with lights that just make you so happy, and the walls are draped from top to bottom in ivy and greenery. It feels like a maze that you don't want to find your way out of! I loved that through certain areas of it, everyone whispers. The people there respect each others need of coming to have their lamps filled back up and how often is it that you go to a public place where complete strangers have that respect for others!? It's unheard of! Now let's talk about the experience itself- You come in and clean your hands and feet and they allow you to use antibacterial essential oils to get you in the mindset of intentional relaxation (I appreciated that it also provides peace of mind knowing that each person who enters isn't making the machines germy!) You're able to take a mantra from a jar to uplift and encourage you if you'd like a little boost when you're having a hard day. You begin walking through the secret garden and you're able to choose the machines you'd like to use. I was amazed by the massive variety of equipment they have! They are so good to educate you while you are there about the equipment and it's healing and relaxing properties. Many of the machines are foreign to us in the US, and gosh we've sure been missing out. Places like Japan and Germany have been using this machinery to help people de-stress and heal while going through things like chemo and these machines have incredible abilities to help restore the structural makeup of our cells to help our respiratory, urinary, circulatory, immune, muscular, digestive & nervous systems and even our skin! Who doesn't need to be healthier in all of those areas?!? Every machine there is so intentional, and the knowledge behind the desire to have the specific equipment they have is genius. THERE ARE SMART PEOPLE WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES HERE, PEOPLE! I had two favorite machines. All of them have proper names but while I was there I renamed my favorites. My hands down top favorite machine is the Butterfly Cocoon Warmer. You lay in something that looks like a tanning bed while a device that supports your ankles. The top portion is laced with infrared heat lamps, which is the type of heat humans need to survive. This is the kind of heat you receive when snuggling next to another warm body. As you lay there, the machine envelops you in a heated cocoon. You feel so warm from head to toe. Speaking of toes! They are very busy in this machine! The device supporting your ankles is working on gradually realigning you from head to toe with a back and forth swaying motion that makes your feet looks like fish tails flopping to and from. It's actually a super relaxing movement! My husband was in a cocoon across from me and I told him he was going to have to go home without me because I wasn't leaving this Butterfly Warmer! My husband loved every minute of it and actually fell asleep for the last few minutes of his session and was OUT. Try the butterfly cocoon warmer! Seriously. My other favorite was a rocking massage chair that felt like I was on the ocean in a little boat. But it gets better. While you are rocking your entire body is being massaged. So it feels like you're rocking on the waves in the ocean with angelic dolphins around you massaging your body as their guest. Can you even imagine?!?! Try the dolphin machine! And don't even get me started on the people running the floor and the owners in charge of this sanctuary. Just trust me when I say you won't want to leave. I wanted to hug each of them when I left and in a matter of minutes I felt like these complete strangers became dear friends! You'll CRAVE being around them with their high, but calming energy and the passion they have to truly leave people better than they came. I have to agree with how fitting this name is. There truly is no better way to describe this experience other than AWESOME with three, relaxing ah's. While I was there I just kept thinking, you can't help but just want every person you've ever loved to come and experience this sacred, rejuvenating get-away experience. We need more places like this in the world, so do yourself a favor and go support this business who is absolutely doing it right. Seriously.

I joined Ahhhsome Relaxation years ago because it was marketed as an unassisted, peaceful sanctuary…read morewhere members could quietly move between therapies at their own pace. Unfortunately, that is no longer the experience I received. The atmosphere has changed dramatically. Instead of feeling relaxed and welcomed, I experienced confrontation, inconsistency, and what I felt was a lack of compassion and customer service. Also, if someone asks you to stop hovering and touching them, you'd think they would comply. However, he (the owner) did not. As someone whose health is rapidly declining, these therapies have been more important to me than ever. Because of my medical limitations, I rely on friends and family to help me get there so I purchased punch cards for this reason. It was my understanding that reasonable accommodations would be made when assistance was genuinely needed. Instead, my guests were restricted to three 15-minute therapies, and they were escorted out before I was even informed. That effectively limited my ability to use the "unlimited" membership I was paying for. Rather than working toward a solution, management became defensive and chose to cancel my membership. I'm saddened because the peaceful vision that Alice originally created appears to have been replaced by an environment that no longer reflects the sanctuary it once was. I cannot recommend a business where empathy, communication, and customer care have been overshadowed by rigid policies and poor treatment of loyal members.
