Happy Feet Asian Foot Therapy has two locations. This review is for the Catonsville, Frederick Road…read morelocation. Happy Feet Catonsville has been a staple for over 10 years at this location. With that said, they have quite the following and you WILL need to make an appointment ahead of time. I randomly came in on a whim after a friend told me that it was the best foot massage she had ever received--she's Asian and literally has been everywhere for all things massage so I got in the car first thing on a Saturday morning and headed straight there for their 10:00 AM door opening. The parking lot is small and was already filled! I was so surprised but walked in and was placed on a waiting list. Since they don't have much room inside, I waited in my car, and they came out to get me when it was my turn. I am SO GLAD I waited. It was intense yet calming. Harsh yet relaxing. Overall, I felt relieved. Since then, reflexology has been one of my favorite services to try out in different areas but honestly, Happy Feet is the BEST. In addition to foot reflexology, they also have hot stones and acupressure point massages for head and back. If you reeeealy like rough, they offer deep tissue too.

Powerful. Goo. That…read moreis what I felt upon ending my session with Brenda. Okay wait, let's start from the beginning. I'm all about relaxation and what not. I mean, who isn't? I have tried everything from the massage, facials, acupuncture....etc. etc. I have never tried foot reflexology, and honestly, I was slightly skeptical. I'm really weird about folk touching my feet. However, Brenda was HIGHLY recommended from a friend AND she was having a weekend special. Why not try it? Best, I leave uber relaxed, at worst, I wouldn't. Contact is made directly through her website, she responded to me rather quickly to set up my appointment. Services are done either at your home, or at a private location. If she comes to you, there is an additional fee, but after my experience, I understand why it is totally worth it. Brenda is uber trained and knowledgeable about her field. You can tell this by the way that she interacts with you and the absolute delight and pride that she takes in her work. Prior to your session, you discuss any issues that you may have, be it digestive, spiritual, emotional, etc.; your session can be customized to address these things. You saddown in the chair and then POW! That's all she wrote the pencil broke. Have you ever been so relaxed that you knew where you were, but your body/mind may have been someplace else? No? Confused? Exactly. Look, I know that I felt the massage, I heard the music, but my mind was GONE. I was in a complete state of relaxation. The things that I saw and felt emotionally are things that you wouldn't believe, and I wouldn't dare attempt to explain in this forum. But at it's conclusion, I felt at total and complete PEACE, more so than any other modality that I have tried, and folks that says a lot. After the session, you have a consultation to discuss what occurred and any recommendations that she may have. In addition she will follow up with you should you have additional question/concerns. Definitely something you should try, check her website for specials, and be prepared for a treat!

I have been seeing Brenda for about two years for reflexology. She's an expert. Each of my…read moretreatments has been unique and customized to whatever's going on with me emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I suspect Brenda has a strong compulsion to learn new things, as she introduces new treatments and modalities she has studied - not only is this just plain interesting, it also means never a dull moment in treatment. The zero-gravity chair she uses launches me into space and I'm either out or hyperpresent (sometimes even both). As a long-time massage therapist, I'm interested in how the feet are portals to the self. My work with Brenda has deepened my understanding of how they function in this way. I am particularly impressed with how sensitive Brenda is to shifts in energy and mood, and how thoughtful she is in discussing challenges which may seem unrelated to feet but show up through them. So, in short, life without "foot crack" would be depressing and bad! If you have any curiosity about this modality at all, or have ever wondered what it might like to be more relaxed than you've ever been in your life, drop everything and book an appointment.

He had never had a massage before so I was super excited to see how he might like the experience. We tried contacting several spas and massage providers who either didn't have the availability or didn't respond back. Finally, I texted Metta on the number listed on their website and they responded within a few hours. We were able to schedule sessions for the time and day we wanted via text which was very convenient. My masseuse called out sick the day of so I was paired with Forest. My boyfriend was paired with Tav. Both providers were friendly and accomodating. My boyfriend LOVED his massage with Tav. He said he dozed off a few times and could see himself coming back every month - such a great sign for someone new to massage. I enjoyed my session with Forest as well and left feeling relaxed. A few things to note: they don't provide couples massages but instead do tandem massages. Meaning, you're in different rooms. This wasn't a dealbreaker for us but could be for others depending on your preference. They also still require masks here. We brought our own surgical masks but were asked to use their K95 masks they provided. This was a little uncomfortable during the service, especially while facing down, but I can understand the need if they have a lot of immunocompromised clients or staff members.
