I play basketball and my mobility and posture improved dramatically after just one session. I honestly felt taller after our session. If you have any stress points in your body, you don't even have to tell her since she will notice them right away and work them out in the massage. If you are struggling with recovery times or feel like you need some stress or trauma released from your body, look no further. She is one of the more conscious people I have met and is very experienced at what she does. Come ready to laugh, cry, and think about life if you choose to do so. A real professional!!

It's been a while since I have had a massage, like years, so my body really needed it and she knew exactly how to help me. She was able to provide deep tissue massage and attend to some really difficult points in my body. I can't wait to go back! It started with some time in a sauna and then moved to the massage table where she used essential oils and coconut oil. I'm big on all natural and organic products so this was perfect! I normally use coconut oil as a moisturizer for my body so it was perfect! I didn't feel like I had all kinds of weird massage oils ruining my clothes after.

Danielle is great. I've been getting massages from her regularly for a couple years now…read more I initially sought her out because she specializes in therapeutic massage. Through a few sessions, she was able to help relieve the tightness and soreness in my lower back and shoulders that had accumulated through years of weightlifting. Danielle's general deep tissue massages are top-notch as well, and she's a great conversationalist. I keep coming back because her deep tissue massages are so relaxing, and she's fun to talk to. If you're in the Ballard area and you're looking for a good massage, and you want to support a small business, I would highly recommend Smiling Owl Massage.

If I could give one star, I would. The massage I initially received was great, but after Danielle…read morecancelled an early AM appointment with less than 2 hours notice via email, things became really messy. I work with families and children intimately and I understand cancellations happen, and people become sick, but to cancel an AM appointment with under two hours notice without a call was not a great way to handle the situation. I was already getting ready and on my way to the appointment. Upon arriving I sat there thinking she was possibly late, then I called the number on the door because I figured that was the best option to figure out if the appointment still stood or not which. Then after back and forth email with Danielle she was upset that I had called the number on the door because it was for someone else. How was a client to know that? I waited for 40 minutes and left. When I arrived home I had seen on my desktop the reason I didn't get her email was because It was sent from her personal email instead of her business email which was the one email we had ever used prior. We sent some Emails back and fourth and because I had expressed how inconvenient it was for me she decided she didn't want to see me for my other appointment or reschedule. I had told her many times I understand these things happen and hope she will feel better and was kind, I just wanted her to know that a call for a two hour or less cancellation would be more ideal since clients are likely to be up and already getting ready to leave their homes. She then basically replies she doesn't want to see me as a client anymore while also being smart saying "in the age of smartphones" her email with 1.5 hours notice was appropriate. Especially when people are likely already on their way. Since I had bought 2 massages via Groupon I had asked if she would then work with me to help get a refund, she agreed and even wrote me an email saying she contacted them, and they would be reaching out to me within the day via phone. (Side note she also said she didn't want to see me because she only makes 17 dollars from her groupons, which i though was wildly inappropriate to tell a client.) When I didn't hear anything from them and emailed her back stating all I saw was that my account was flagged and had not received a call, her reply was so rude calling me challenged and whiny. I really don't know how someone would work in this industry and be so rude and able to personally jab at clients but I was completely taken aback by her unprofessionalism through-and-through. I would not recommend her place of business, as when things come up she cannot handle them appropriately, timely, or professionally and will attack you for it.

I have very tight shoulders and hips - Megan was able to relieve the pressure and pain that pressure caused. She didn't just massage but also used pressure points, stretching and more to release my tight muscles. The office was very clean, well-kept and relaxing- her practice is inside a chiropractic office which to me is a good sign! She offers great deals for first time clients as well as referral bonuses. Make an appointment with Megan it will make you feel like a regular person instead of a knotted up mess!

Hands down, Fae is the best masseuse I have ever had. First of all, every single move she makes is…read moremade with intention. Fae doesn't just go through the motions like other masseuses. Fae has has an unmatched intuition and is thoughtfully responding to my body throughout the entire 90-minute massage. Most importantly, the benefits I've experienced are tangible and immediate. After my first massage I was shocked. I realized there was pain all over my body for years that I didn't even know I had, because I had simply accepted it due to being there for so long. Because of Fae, the pain completely disappeared and my mobility increased massively. After my second massage with Fae, she managed to open up my lungs, causing my breathing to completely clear up. These are benefits I have never experienced with any other masseuse. To put it bluntly, the level of sophistication that Fae puts into their massages is unmatched. It's clear that Fae has a deep understanding of how the body works and how to help guide you to your best self. For how talented she is, Fae is shockingly humble. Needless to say, I recommend Fae. She is the most talented masseuse you will ever come across. This one is special. You owe it to yourself to give Fae a try.
