    I have been to other individuals claiming to be a reflexologist or provide that service as a…read moreprofessional along with other fluffy services. All of which would be grand if that's precisely what you're seeking. A fluffy, superficial, short-term experience. However, if you're seeking detoxification, healing from the inside out from a certification 20+ year veteran in her profession, then there is only one person on the entire East coast. For the first time I have to take the time to write about Brigitte Wiss. She exemplifies the care definition to its maximum, and takes the "authentic "connection" with her clients to "commitment" and beyond. She doesn't watch the clock, she doesn't force schedules on you, she is focused on healing you through precious points and working on the map of your entire body through the feet. She is incredibly kind, intuitive, and panoramically well rounded. She is not only response, solution oriented, but knows how to astutely maneuver through all the challenges you may have with ease and comes up with solutions that actually work. Trust me I am living proof. She will become the next right hand healer you never knew you needed. Bottom line- I am grateful to have her as the best reflexologist who actually cares about her clients overall health and that individuals like her still exist!

    Brigitte is dedicated, talented, and meticulous in her care for her clients. Definitely recommend!read more

    7/16/23 Star Therapy…read moreMassage has had its star masseuse Jessica working here for a little over a year.   Jessica instantly remembered me the moment I walked through the door. Jessica remind me of someone body that I used to know. I even thought she was someone else, but was later informed she is not the same Jessica I was thinking of. Still, Jessica look very close to the woman in the red dress featured in the picture I took with the new prices for massage. Today, I was shown into the Autumn Room and it looked nice. It is very spacious with two massage chair/couches.  In the center is the massage table.  The Massage table wasn't  heated from what I saw. It is also Summer time and the heat wasn't needed for the massage table if there is one. I noticed the large window is heavily layered to keep out the sunlight.    The Massage: Covering the body is not necessarily a requirement, but can be done if you are not comfortable with being exposed...so to speak. Jessica asked me what kind of pressure I wanted and I went with medium pressure.   Lotion, oil or neither are your choices.   I went with the oil, but I think next time I will go without oil and lotion.   Ashiatsu (backpack massage) is an option, but Jessica didn't incorporate this option into my massage.  Jessica used her forearms  for my back , glutes, but I preferred her hands to Jessica's forearms.  Jessica massaged my legs and feet.    Jessica continued her massage checking to see if I wanted her to pressure to be harder or softer.   I am glad to say Jessica wasn't interrupted  with phone calls or someone else ringing the doorbell.  There is also no time clock is in the room, but there is a clock in the room.  Check your time before the massage starts. Hot towels supplied inside a heat box were applied to my body to remove the excess oil on by body.   Flipping over onto my back Jessica again asked if I wanted oil, lotion or nothing.  I went with oil and Jessica began her work. The stomach massage and chest massage were great.  Yet, the foot massage nearly put me to sleep.  The soft massage is another trick that can put someone to sleep.  It did not happen with me, because I wanted to be awake for the massage. Not fall asleep through it.  Jessica did the hot towel thing again before ending the massage.  Upon standing up, I felt some pain in my back. Jessica was able to massage my back again and removed the tight muscles in my lower back. I truly appreciate this Jessica.   I will definitely return here for another session.   I found it humorous an ironic that we were both wearing red and black outfits on this particular day.   What are the odds of this happening?

    Everything great massage. I'm ready to schedule another…read moreappointment. Very nice and relaxing.

I liked her hands more than the hot stones but they were fine too. I did the deep tissue massage. Next time I will go for longer and try the other style too.

    *Part 2 Of 2* 9/22/23…read moreTHE MASSAGE: Since massage is best when nude, this is exactly what I did.  I lay on top of the new sheeting, because  was suspicious about the sheeting underneath the new sheet  laid out. It might have been clean, but I didn't take that chance.  I also do not stick my face in the massge holes.  This is a very good way to get sick.  I think so anyways. Kathryn waited about 4 minutes before knocking on the door before entering.   I wasn't concerned about draping and apparently neither was  Kathryn.   Kathryn started on my neck with a great amount of pressure. She continued this by working on my arms, hands and back.  What really impressed me was the Thai Stretching Kathryn incorporated into my massage.    Kathryn continued with the preliminary massage by stretching the glutes maximus, legs and feet.  When I say stretching, I mean stretching.   It is not for the weak of heart.  When Kathryn was done with the preliminaries, she started back at my neck and shoulders, but with massage oil.  The Massage oil is unscented so have no fear ladies and gentleman.  The massage pressure Kathryn applied to my skin was steady and consistent.    Kathryn continued massaging my arms, neck, back, glutes maximus, legs and feet.    Ordinarily I prefer to have me feet massaged last, but I didn't let Kathryn know this at the time. I will do so the next time I am here with whoever the staff member...no,...massage therapist.     Massaging feet is not always done at massage palors.  Same can be said for face and head massage. This doesn't seem the case for Massage Joy:) The feet, legs and glutes maximus massage were the best part of the massage for me.  Whether on my stomach or back, Kathryn spend more time on those areas because I asked her too.    If there was any tension in the gluteus maximus, legs or feet, Kathryn eliminated this problem. Kathryn finished how she started the massage.  Kathryn did the Thai Stretching again and finished with the massage slaps I have experienced at so many other massage palors. If there is a more professional name for these massage slaps, I can think of it right now.  I don't feel like looking it up right now either. AFTER THE MASSAGE: Kathryn used a hot towel to remove some of...,  no,...a lot of the oil that was applied to my body.  I like to keep some oil on my body, but this time a little to much oil was used. Nevertheless, I think Kathryn (who might be the manager/owner of this establishment) did a fantastic job.  I do feel cleaning the oil off the walls might...will help improve the look of the business.   This is just one room I saw, but it left an impression on me. The bathroom looked neat and orderly; as well, as smelling "so fresh and clean, clean." From what I saw of the layout of the business, the employee hang out spot is straight down the hall from the front desk.  There are 4 massage rooms and the bathroom is on the left hand side past the first massage room on the right. In case I didn't say it,  Massage Joy is located on the second floor in building 241.  Very close to Sugar Spa.  A two minute walk away...if that long. I know I will try this place out at least two more times.  I love Thai Massage incorporated with the Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage. Especially without the loose clothing at is normally associated with it.  I give this place a 4 star review.  It would have been 5 stars, but the was an eyesore.

    I recently visited for my very first massage, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience…read more From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. The atmosphere immediately put me at ease. Since it was my first visit, I received a discounted introductory rate, which was a wonderful bonus. Before the massage, I filled out a form detailing my preferred pressure level, focus areas, and any areas that needed extra care. I chose the firmest pressure available and requested extra attention on my back and shoulders since I carry a lot of tension there. The massage was exactly what I needed. The work done on my back and shoulders helped release so many knots and areas of built-up stress. I received a full-body massage, and I genuinely felt relief almost immediately. Even a week later, I still feel more relaxed and less tense than before my appointment. At the end of my visit, I was also given a loyalty stamp card, which was a lovely surprise. After five visits, you receive a free massage and a pedicure downstairs, which makes me even more excited to return. The staff, the service, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Stone + Sage Spa and will absolutely be coming back again!

    Do not go here. I…read morerarely leave one-star reviews, but the way my mother and I were treated here today was genuinely appalling. This was our first visit. My mother is disabled, walks with a stick, and moves very slowly. We had difficulty finding parking and arrived approximately 15 minutes late. I completely accept that we were late and would have understood if that meant shortening, changing, or even rescheduling our appointments. That was never the issue. The issue was the extraordinary level of hostility and rudeness we were met with from the moment we walked through the door. The woman at the front desk was immediately abrupt, unfriendly and confrontational in her tone. There was no welcome, no attempt to explain anything calmly. She stood over me and sharply demanded, "What treatments do you want?" Her whole manner was so hostile that I was taken aback almost immediately. I explained that when I had called beforehand, I had spoken to a lovely woman who told me specifically not to worry about choosing everything in advance. I had explained that I was visiting from out of the country, wanted to spend quite a bit of time at the spa, and was hoping to book several treatments and have a relaxing day. I was told they would be quiet, that time would be allocated for me, and that I could look through the options and decide what I wanted when I arrived. When I asked to see the menu, the woman at the desk told me I could only choose between the first two treatments, which were around 30 and 45 minutes. I was confused because this was completely different from what I had been told on the phone, so I simply asked why I could only choose those two. She gave me no real explanation other than saying it was because we were late. At that point, I assumed perhaps there simply was not enough time for any of the longer treatments. So I asked, "Is there someone coming in after us?" She said no. That confused me even more. If nobody was booked after us, I genuinely could not understand why I was being told I could only choose from two shorter treatments. So I calmly asked why I could not choose one of the longer, more expensive treatments further down the menu if there was actually time available. Instead of explaining, she simply glared at me. Then she threw her hands up in the air and, in an extremely rude and dismissive tone, said, "Oh, just pick whatever you want," before turning around and stomping off. It was incredibly abrupt, condescending and hostile. I was not arguing with her. I was asking a perfectly reasonable question because what I had been told on the phone and what I was now being told in person made absolutely no sense. What made the experience even worse was the way she treated my mother. At one point my mother politely said, "Excuse me, can I ask a question?" The woman looked directly at her and simply walked away without allowing her to speak or answering her. I had bitten my tongue throughout the entire interaction because I genuinely thought perhaps this was simply her manner. But by that point I was becoming increasingly uncomfortable and anxious. This was supposed to be a relaxing spa day with my mother, and instead we were being spoken to as though we were an inconvenience. I eventually stood up, apologized again for being late, and explained that my mother has a disability and that it had taken us a little longer than expected to get there. I also made it clear that if someone had simply said, politely, "Unfortunately, because you're late we can only accommodate these treatments today," I would have completely understood. I am very flexible. I would even have happily come back the following day. But there was absolutely no need for the hostility, the glaring, the dismissive tone, the throwing up of hands, or walking away while my mother was trying to speak. The whole thing was especially disappointing because the woman I had spoken to on the phone had been so lovely and accommodating. I had deliberately not booked individual treatments in advance because I had specifically been told not to. I arrived expecting to have a consultation, choose several treatments and spend a significant amount of money there. Instead, we walked out without having a single treatment. The entire situation could have been avoided with basic courtesy and clear communication. Being 15 minutes late does not give someone permission to speak to customers in such a hostile and demeaning manner, particularly when one of those customers is visibly disabled and walking with a stick. There are far too many good salons and spas available to tolerate being treated like this. Based on my experience today, I would absolutely not recommend this one.
