To her credit she worked very hard but I had to keep telling her "too hard" as it felt very uncomfortable. I love deep tissue but this was not relaxing, although she did a good job on my lower back. I think a lot it was the rough, not gentle touch. I will go back but maybe just for feet.

It's really hard to communicate with anyone there. I requested a calf and foot massage but the guy…read moreworking on me started with my head/face then shoulders and arms. After a while when I realized he didn't understand what I asked for, I interrupted him and pointed to my calves. He got it then. The massage was okay--lots of pressure, sometimes too much that it was painful. To be fair, I was very sore to begin with. The foot part was kind of painful, and different on each side. Afterwards, I paid and gave him a signed receipt to which he replied, "How much tip?" I told him and he complained in what little English he knew to say that I asked for a calf massage and only tipped 20%. First, I didn't know a 20% tip was an insult. Second, it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't think I'd go back. We are not required to tip service. Gratuity is based on experience. And my experience was average at best.

Seeing a massage therapist is a very personal experience. You want to have a therapist who is an…read moreexpert when they talk to you, but especially when they touch you; they need to know many forms within their field. You want someone who is empathetic, compassionate and understanding if you have discomfort. You want to have someone touch you that knows the inner workings of the human body to the point that when they touch you even for a minute they know where your pain truly lies. You want to go to a place that is clean and that makes you feel calm, welcome and at ease. A peaceful place that you could see yourself going back to many times. Lauren is that person. RelaxStation is that place. Always a burst of sunshine, professional and polite. I cannot express enough how much talent Lauren has. She has that touch where she can feel all the muscles and nerves, and not a lot of people have that in this field. She is great to see if you want a relaxing treat but also if you have issues that are pestering your body. Most recently she was a huge help with my sciatica. She is just amazing, because after an hour I had relief, but after three days I started to realize I had NO pain! Ty Lauren so much!!! And I am stretching everyday as you recommended. Awesome help!! I highly recommend a visit, because you will be hooked. And I would give more stars if I could! My husband and I are clients of Lauren's, since 2009.

At Elements Massage in Andover, where Lauren worked just before opening her own business in…read moreHampton, she was the most sought after person of the 15 massage therapists that worked at this facility. She was so popular, that her clients booked appointments with her 6 months in advance. Lauren's training is in both the traditional massage therapy, and in the Grigorian Method ® which is a much more technical form of massage training. If you are looking for anything from a gentle relaxing massage, to deep tissue work you will absolutely love Lauren. Lauren Belanger is simply put one of the most talented massage therapist I have ever found !!

I was scheduled for a 60 minute massage and 30 minute reflexology today. When the office called to…read moreconfirm two days ago, I asked if they thought I should reschedule as we were expecting a blizzard yesterday with up to 2 feet of snow. I was assured that wasn't necessary, and they would call in plenty of time today if they were not able to accommodate me. I got to the appointment a few minutes before my scheduled time, and was told my massage therapist wasn't going to be in. As you can imagine, I was very disappointed and upset that they hadn't followed up on their word. They did have a massage therapist to give me my massage, but no reflexology. Again I was disappointed, but grateful to get the massage. Tyler was amazing, and they did comp me an additional 15 minutes of massage. The women in the office were sincerely sorry for the confusion, and did everything they could to make it up to me. I left feeling much better than when I arrived, and will definitely be back.

Strange since Newburyport Elements Massage claims to be open every day, including weekends from 9-9. I found a time slot that would fit my schedule, and see the therapist is elite so there is an additional charge. I then searched some more for an appointment during my vacation week since evenings were not available after 5:30pm that I could find. I again go to schedule and every available appointment that week was an elite massage therapist, so additional charge. I'm not feeling this is a gift if it is going to cost me more than a tip and I can't find an appointment that fits my schedule.

Strangest massage of my life. I was told initially that I exceeded the weight limit of the table so…read morethey would massage me in the waiting room instead. I have had many massages at various spas and have never been told this before. After doing some quick googling, the weight limit of most tables appears to be 600-800 lbs. I do not exceed this weight (luckily) so I find this odd. It was later in the day so I am not sure if this concern was genuine or done in an attempt to speed things along or to avoid having to clean the massage room. I would've preferred to flat out be denied service. The waiting room I was massaged in had no music, there was a loud clock ticking noise, it was very bright, and another person was in the room while the massage took place. Very difficult to relax and I was disappointed. I've been here in the past and received better treatment and service. Scheduling is also strange. I do not believe they are on massagebook anymore and the website does not show prices or appointment availability. They want you to call/text the owner directly to schedule. I will not be back.

When I walked in today the woman was surprised I was there and could not understand what service I was there for even though I pointed to it on the menu a few times. After finally getting on the same page I was brought to a room with multiple chairs. She put my feet in a bucket and then massaged my arms and hands but only used lotion on my right arm and not my left which I found very odd and actually a bit painful. When it was time for the foot massage, she spent a lot of time massaging BONEY PARTS of my feet and legs. She spent a lot of time on my KNEES which I had to tell her multiple times to stop because it really hurt. She spent time on my shins and the tops of my feet and individual toes... I literally cannot stress enough how much time she spent on my knees... After all of that she only spent about 7 minutes per foot and did not even touch my heels which was the biggest reason for going in. After this she told me to follow her to a room which I'm assuming was for the body massage. She led me to the room, pointed to the bed, shut the curtain and left. I had no direction of what to do, and I didn't see a blanket or gown to be dressed or covered in so I decided to just not go through with the body portion of the massage. I went up to the desk asked if I could tip on the card and after about 5 minutes she presents a higher price than the menu showed so I tipped 18% (to compensate for the price difference) said thanks and left. She looked at the receipt and stared me down as I was walking to the parking lot. I would NOT recommend this facility for any service at all. My feet still hurt and now my knees hurt too.
