I visited Garden Spa today for a 60- minute Swedish Firm massage. The spa appeared clean and well…read moremaintained. The scent in the space was pleasant, though a bit strong and slightly overwhelming at times. Massage room had a nice and simple vibe. At the start of the session, I felt the therapist spent a fair amount of time adjusting "warming up" positioning, tucking sheets, and moving items around, which made it take a while for the massage to really get going. Once it did, the techniques themselves were good, but the overall experience leaned more toward relaxation than firm pressure. As this was my first visit, I chose the Swedish firm massage. I understand Swedish massage is typically lighter, but I expected more pressure given the "firm" description -thinking I'd have the best of both in one massage. While the massage was enjoyable, it felt lighter than my preference and left me wanting more. It wasn't bad by any means, just not my style, as I prefer a deeper, more consistent pressure. Overall, I would consider the massage average, but I am open to trying other massage styles they offer and likely for longer too. I did decide to sign up for the membership, which seems like a decent value and didn't cost anything to join. I figured I would go back again every so often. I'm hopeful a different service will better match my preferences.

I booked an appointment in the morning, and left refreshed. Iveta is such a great esthetician. She offers a customized facial based on your skin concerns, and the time she spends interviewing you and asking questions doesn't factor into the time spent on your facial! You can tell that she really cares about her craft. She discusses the ingredients in each of her products and what they aim to do. Her hands are so gentle as she works the product into your skin, she asks you about your skin concerns and also observes them herself. She always makes sure you're comfortable and her bed is heated and in an ergonomic shape for massages too!!! I left very refreshed and rejuvenated. I will be returning to book the combination full body massage and facial when possible.

The first time I came here, I had booked a 60-minute massage and it was so relaxing, but I felt like it wasn't enough. Since then, I've always gotten the 90 minute massages! I've also gotten a facial by Iveta and that was super relaxing as well. Iveta is awesome at what she does and is super mindful where she'll ask if there's any specific area I'm struggling with. There was one instance where I really needed a massage but there was no availability on her calendar so I called her and she was kind enough to fit me in! I will always come back and support her because of her amazing services!

I also like that their sheets do not carry scents and the massage table was comfortable. Booking was easy and they always pick up. Parking was easy as there is plenty in the giant Costco plaza. It is right next to Ross. I enjoyed a one hour massage and was comfortable the entire time. My masseuse checked in on pressure and kept things quiet, which I prefer. They sell membership packages and the price is very competitive. They also have other services, such as facials. Some snacks are also available.

However, each time I've come in, the noise level, especially from the outdoor area has been extremely loud and disruptive. It would really help if doors were kept closed during sessions and if noise was minimized overall. Customers are walking in and out of that common area, so that door should remain closed at all times to avoid noise entering other people's sessons. I've heard loud conversations that felt like people were shouting across the space, cabinets slamming, and even staff walking around on speakerphone speaking loudly. While I was able to somewhat tune it out during previous visits, I recently brought a friend, and he was very unhappy with how noisy it was. People come in expecting a relaxing, and peaceful environment as that's the whole point of getting a massage. Unfortunately, the constant noise made it difficult to fully relax and took away from the overall experience. I hope improvements can be made to keep noise levels down, because a quiet atmosphere truly makes all the difference

IMPORTANT: Martha deals with deep tissue and sciatic issues! And thank God!…read more I came here on emergency with my bestie. Martha gave us same-day appointments. (Of course, this isn't a guarantee that you can always get same-day appointments, but I'm so grateful Martha was able to that day.) The place is small but adorable, and the massage rooms are so cozy and soothing. But the thing I absolutely adored the most about Martha was that she is willing and QUICK to listen to her clients, whether it be their concerns or requests. I told her something was too painful (just due to my sciatic muscle issues of at least six months) and she immediately took a break from the area to focus on something else. She listened to me throughout the whole thing and made sure to consult me about my history and how something felt or if her massage technique was doing what it should. I also have bacne and had leg stubble that I was fairly insecure of--Martha did not care. She worked through them both as if they were not there. I'll have to come back because the muscles are still messed up but it hurt too much to keep going--mind you, though, that's to be expected after being messed up for so long, and I was 50% looser walking out of the place. Bestie said he absolutely enjoyed his massage. While some parts were painful, it turned out it was the only way to get his own relief; now those areas are no longer tight or bothering him! Glad to have found you, Martha. :)

I didn't have any of the post massage body pains with Cheryl. What ever her trick is, I need to be back for more since I feel so much better. My 90 minutes went by fast and I wished that I had booked 2 hours. Yep, she's that good! This isn't a fancy shmancy spa. It's clean, relaxed atmosphere and the rooms are calming. The prices are reasonable and Cheryl is a magician with her hands. Looking forward to next time! Highly recommend Cheryl. She's kind and knows her craft.

It's also so easy to book appointments with her and communicate with her. She has a $30 nonrefundable deposit that comes with every booking! There have been times where the facials have been so relaxing that I just fall asleep.
