They don't have certificates or gift cards but I had the receipt and I'm glad I took it with me because the man at the counter didn't believe me at first. Amanda was my masseuse and boy was she thorough. She always asked if she was too rough or if I had pain. I had a lot of pain from knots and stress but I needed the firmness and afterward I felt great! It was my first time having someone walk on my back and that was an experience. She handled every major part and it was much needed. Will be back!

The first massage wasn't that bad but the second time I went they had their teenage son massage me. Super unprofessional and not skillful what so ever. Then, not once but TWICE they charged my credit card information when I did not go for any service. Disputed this charges twice already and if it happens again I'll be going to the police. I love supporting businesses and writing positive reviews but I am beyond frustrated with their incredibly unprofessional behavior and THEFT.

One of them was hot stone which I loved. I recommend this place if you're looking for just a massage (vs. a day spa situation where there are cozy lounge areas). There are 90 minute and 2 hr options -- the 90 minute incorporates 7 modalities and the 2 hr one has 9. I look forward to checking out those options. Thank you VRC -- I left feeling amazing and followed it up with an Epsom salt bath the next day. Bliss.

I decided to give YaYa massage a try and they did not disappoint! Anna is clearly the best therapist I ever had not kidding. She is not only a master craftsman at what she does, but she is also the owner and there is a lot of love that goes into every stroke. I have been coming here for almost two years, I even bring my mom who until now never liked massages but she really loves Anna's massages. I come once a month and while they charge a little more than the competition it is well worth it and you really do get what you pay for. Anna has corrected everything and put muscles back where they belong and removed and dissolved all the knots in my upper back. I also love the way she stretches me like a pretzel yet does so in a way that is so soothing. Anna definitely knows when to apply pressure, but not to hurt or injure you and this only comes with experience and expert knowledge. Throughout the entire session I was totally relaxed and happy throughput the entire session. Anna is seriously so great at what she does and super sweet but very serious and a true professional. I especially love the fact she does all the work herself and the consistency speaks for itself. This place is also very clean, neat, and walls are very clean. The place is located in a small strip mall, but it's a real gem and Anna is definitely a step above the competition you won't be disappointed!

I'm not usually a big reviewer, but I believe that sometimes, the right people--doing the right…read morethings in a sincere way--can truly make a difference. I've received hundreds of massages from all over the country. Many are good, and a few are genuine healers. If you're seeking or in need of healing, this is the place to go, and Star is the person you'd want to see. I've studied Qigong and Tai Chi, which focus on health and healing. Taking some time to care for your internal well-being can be incredibly beneficial--massage therapy can play a significant role. Finding a skilled practitioner is essential to the healing process. Remember, these treatments work best when you do your part: relax and follow her advice. A few years ago, a friend hit a deer while we're riding motorcycles, I chose to jump off my bike at 60 MPH to help him--a decision not recommended. Star has been working on my shoulder. If you have an injury, let her know--sometimes a focused massage on a specific area is more effective than trying to work on the whole body.

I received a couple of gift cards for Vive!, and finally got a chance to visit recently. I was…read morehaving some serious back pain and made an appointment with Amanda. Vive is a very calming space. The lights are low and it's very comfortable. It looks small at first but there's a small waiting room down the hall from the entrance. Since it was my first visit, I spoke with the receptionist prior to my visit, and I filled out a medical/treatment history upon arrival. Amanda reviewed it with me thoroughly before starting my treatment. Amanda was also very professional. In addition to going over health information, she made sure that I was comfortable with what massage entails, that consent and comfort was paramount, and that I could tell her at any point if I was uncomfortable with what was happening. I really appreciated that clear communication. Something that's really helpful is that Vive lists all their therapists on their website, and in addition to their specialties it lists their pressure level. That was extremely helpful to me, because I knew I wanted someone who used firm pressure, so that definitely helped me find the right therapist. My time with Amanda was not only relaxing but helpful, as my back--whilst not completely neutral--felt much better after my session. And within the week the pain was essentially gone. I don't know if this was the reason, but it was certainly a contributing factor. In addition to standard massage, they have an infrared sauna here as well. They also sell a few items that may provide further relief. There are a few parking spaces in the lot directly in front of the business, and there are a few diagonal spaces on the street as well (just be sure not to block the sidewalk). If necessary, there's also parking along the neighborhood streets, too.

Alicia heard me from down the hall and yelled at me in an annoyed and rude tone of voice said "I'M WAITING FOR MY CLIENT". I personally do not expect to get yelled at in a spa right before a massage by my therapist. Alicia's attitude is appropriate for someone directing traffic at a truck stop, not a spa. I left without a massage because the last thing I wanted was her negative energy touching me for the next hour. I certainly hope they don't use my credit for the rudeness and massage I never received. Will edit after I hear back from the manager. I would give 0 stars if I could.
