I didn't have an appointment and was accepted as a walk-in with no wait. She was very accommodating: offered to turn on the space heater, if I wanted massage oil, how much pressure I wanted. She checked in with me a few times throughout the massage to ensure I was comfortable. What stood out to me was that Lisa added some stretches for my upper back and neck. I felt really limber and relaxed. Would highly recommend and will for sure return monthly for a massage!

I understand all the negative reviews: this is NOT a massage meant to relax. But if you have…read moresignificant knots or muscle pain, these ladies will eliminate it very roughly but effectively. Communication with the staff is difficult, but the service works well for pain relief, especially if you are a big guy who always needs a therapist to press harder. This place is also affordable, at a little more than $1 per minute. I did the 40-minute table massage and felt better (albeit a little sore) walking out than I did going in. But if you're looking for the type of relaxing, calming, carefully-designed and gently-executed massage you might get at a luxury resort or higher price point, look somewhere else!

I highly recommend Ellie's Massage! I came for a deep tissue massage the first time, Kelly was my…read moremasseuse, and she did a great job. I got a hot stone massage/deep tissue the second time by Ellie and it was great as well! Ellie really knew how apply lots of pressure to where I needed it. Both Kelly and Ellie kept checking with me to make sure it wasn't too much pressure. I was really feeling the pain, but I knew I needed them to apply that pressure to get out all of my knots. I've been to many massage places like this in California but this has been the best massage I've gotten thus far. I'm definitely coming back for massages in the future on a periodic basis. I'd recommend the hot stones as well. It felt great but I think that the hot stones help loosen my muscles a bit for a better massage as well as provided a hard edge to break up the knots in my back. Tip: be sure to tell them where you want them to focus and don't be shy about telling them if it's too much or too little pressure.
