I've had plenty of massages before, but the best one I've ever had was here at Century Massage…read more I received the best massage from Gwen!!! She was amazing, sweet, funny, and very accommodating to all my needs. I came in for a prenatal massage, with pain in my shoulders, neck, lower back, and legs. Usually I will have to ask for more pressure, but she already knew! She targeted all the areas I asked for and applied strong pressure throughout the entire massage to get rid of all my pain. I walked out feeling like a new woman

I typically do not write reviews, but after being a loyal client of this business for approximately…read moretwo years, I feel compelled to document my recent experience for anyone considering becoming a client. My concern is not with the massage services themselves, but with the conduct and business decisions of one of the owners. I was extremely uncomfortable when the owner chose to involve me, as a client, in deeply personal issues and conflict involving her spouse and business partner. I was told personal details about their relationship, the business separation, and her intentions regarding the other owner. None of this was appropriate or relevant to me as a client, and I should never have been placed in the middle of an internal dispute. What concerned me most was the apparent inability to separate personal emotions from professional responsibilities. Whatever issues may exist between two spouses are personal matters. Once those issues begin influencing business decisions, staffing, client relationships, scheduling, and the overall client experience, it becomes a business concern. As a longtime client, I was particularly disappointed by the lack of transparency surrounding the changes that followed. A massage therapist I had regularly seen was suddenly removed from the schedule and replaced, without what I felt was appropriate communication to the clients who had established ongoing relationships with her. Clients should not have to discover major changes to their provider through the schedule or simply show up and realize that things have changed. I also found it troubling that personal conflict appeared to extend into the business's public-facing social media. As a client, I should not be exposed to indirect public commentary or personal disputes between business owners. It creates an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment and makes clients question whether business decisions are being made objectively. This experience has been especially disappointing because I genuinely valued this business and had been a loyal client for years. I believe business owners have a responsibility to protect the client experience even when personal circumstances are difficult. Personal disagreements should not become the client's burden, and business decisions should be based on professionalism, communication, and what is best for the business and its clients--not personal emotions or retaliation. I am sharing this because prospective clients deserve to know that the quality of a business is influenced by more than the service being provided. Leadership, professionalism, communication, and the ability to handle internal conflict appropriately matter too. I sincerely hope the owner chooses to separate personal matters from business operations moving forward, because the clients should not be the ones caught in the middle. After two years of loyalty and referrals, it is genuinely disappointing to see a business I once spoke so highly of reach this point.

An absolutely 5-star experience, she took the time to really listen to what I needed: medium pressure in certain areas, deep pressure in others. I was able to tell her that I didn't want certain areas of my body to be touched (my arms/hands/feet) and to please focus on others (neck/right shoulder), and she took all my requests to heart. I've had chronic pain for years and she was able to ease a lot of it substantially, which was phenomenal. I will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing massage with Ruth! I consider myself a…read moremassage connoisseur and I can say this was one of the best massages I've had. Some massage therapists will just go through their routine, but Ruth sought out all the knots and tension in my back, neck and shoulders and worked some magic. Pressure was just right. I also loved that when I was face up, she adjusted the massage bed slightly up so it was more of a recline than laying straight on my back. And a warm towel under my neck. I left feeling so relaxed. Highly recommend getting a massage with Ruth!

I was blown away by the customer service as well as the amenities…read more I visited Soak & Sage with my wife. After a brief tour of the facilities, we both changed into our swimsuits, showered, and headed to the main area to start our time. We started out with what I would call wellness tinctures which we drank before deciding what type of journey we would embark upon. The smell of sandalwood wafted from freshly lit incense and the whole vibe of the place was relaxing. They really did a great job of creating space that felt like a nice retreat from the outside world. Posted on the wall near the incense were different suggested orders for enjoying the tubs and saunas to achieve different goals. I liked this because it gave me a great way to feel like i was maximizing my time there as well as maximizing the benefits of this space. Go check this place out!

They have restrooms and cubby holes in the exercise/group class area for your belongings.

Equipment: They have squat racks, benches, exercise balls, row machines..all sorts of things. Also, there are mats if you forget your yoga mat.

This is only based on service…read more My assistant is a long standing client of this place and likes going here. She wanted to surprise me by buying their groupon deal and scheduling an appointment. Not knowing I had personal things that day, she realized she had to reschedule the appointment. At this point, I did not have any conversation with this company. I was just a passive/potential client who didn't know who this company was. Finally, it's the day of the appointment. I heard passively that it was rescheduled once but I had no idea when and when the notice was. I was driving from Seattle, and we hit traffic on the way in. I called before my appointment to let them know I may be coming late. They were pleasant and said it was fine. I then heard on the radio that the traffic was due because of a gentleman who had a heart attack on an on-ramp I was headed to and that the delays were long, so I called again. They explained that they couldn't stay longer and I understood. They also said they couldn't reschedule because it was my second reschedule. Frustrated, but understanding, I said it was fine. Shortly after, I realized how disappointing it would be to my assistant that she bought me a gift and it wasn't used, so I called back, offering to pay for the lost service and reschedule. At that point, the call was very unpleasant. The woman reminded me over and over that I was basically black listed at that point, wouldn't let me explain what had happened, etc. I was prepared to come to the place, pay for the missed appointment, make sure they were paid and the therapist was paid, then RESCHEDULE a completely different day. I understand the policy but if they have a client willing to pay full price to remedy the situation, what's the loss? However, they felt compelled to make the entire conversation about how wrong I was and how there wasn't anything they could do for me. I understand these types of policies and without knowing situations, places like this should avoid business from clients who can't keep appointments but if I'm calling back, only on good will, to pay for the lost time and reschedule so I didn't have to tell my assistant that the appointment and cost was a waste, would more could I do to make it right? Anyways, I agree that the cancellation policy was fine and I don't mind them not holding the appointment. I do, however, have a huge problem with the fact I tried to make it right and all they cared about was proving to me that I was wrong and there was nothing I could do about it. That's not typically the attitude or communication that sits well with a potential client, especially when I was referred by someone who visits this place. Anyways, I'm sure they do a fine job but based on the communication I received, I would rather pay more and see someone else. I've gone to Ummelina for years and this is just a good reminder that trying someone else that's cheaper and closer to home doesn't necessary mean it will be better.
