Summary for people in a rush:
1. Convenience of a strip mall location;
2. Healing environment with the awareness of advanced massage therapy;
3. Competitive pricing with OPTIONAL, flexible monthly memberships
4. Friendly, professional and calm staff; talented massage therapists.
1. Elements has the convenience of a strip mall spa: accessibility (1 min off C-470's Ken Caryl exit), extensive business days and hours (a huge obstacle for me with many massage therapy locations), friendly and knowledgeable receptionists who answer the phones in person until 9pm (wow!), and a great selection of massage services at very competitive prices -- including an intro rate for your first visit.
2. Moreover, I was pleased to see that Elements also has the healing awareness of advanced massage therapy locations: dim lighting throughout including halls and restroom (bright "clinical" lighting is an absolute deal breaker for me, so this was huge), music that's quiet and relaxing and also can be turned up or down within your room (another big focus for me), calm and professional and soft spoken staff, as well as the ability to add extras like aromatherapy oils and Himalayan salt stones, etc. I cannot be more pleased, and have found my new, regular massage spa.
3. New clients, do not be turned off (as I was initially) by the monthly membership plans they softly suggest, where you're auto-billed once monthly -- listen and seriously consider them. The membership rates per massage are very fair and competitive, auto-bill allows you to sway out the door in your zen state without any payment paperwork after each massage, you can roll-over unused massages when you're too busy to use them, you can optionally suspend your package for a few of the winter months to avoid the drive, you can transfer a massage to a family or friend anytime (sorry guys, they're all mine, but it's a nice thought! ), aaaaaand, you can cancel anytime. The monthly membership helps me stay accountable for my personal wellness and reminds me to keep giving myself massages regularly, before my body starts to get so painful and stressed.
4. Thank you to my therapist, Adam, for your extensive knowledge and investment, and to everyone who lead me here, from my first phone call at 8pm (when I expected to get voicemail!) to my pleasant experience signing up for the membership plan.
If I had an Elements Spa cheerleading outfit, I'd be wearing it. Sorry for the long review, but massage locations are very important to me!
As constructive feedback to the owner: I would love the option for more heavy/therapeutic use of essential oils (although you do already offer a limited aromatherapy service that I haven't tried yet). I love the mental benefits of essential oils diffused during massage, and when mixed with massage oil, to help my skin and muscles unwind. Ideally, this service would be a very affordable add-on ($5 is fair, $10 is a bit high), and including it in membership would really be a winner! Please consider beefing-up this area of your service menu. Overall, you and your team are doing an exceptional job. Thank you!
