The massage I had at this location was awful. The lady used some kind of machine on my back. Very little pressure with her hands. I never went back, what a rip off. read more

I highly recommend getting a massage from Deborah Hunter. She listened attentively to my needs beforehand and incorporated them into her techniques during my deep tissue massage. She used hot stones and several techniques I had never experienced before to help soothe my stressed neck and shoulders. She also used a vibration machine which was so soothing and she helped me with breathing throughout the entire massage to ensure I was really relaxed. Even 24 hours later my neck still feels great! Her salon was tastefully decorated, welcoming and relaxing. Hands down the best massage I have ever had. read more

Deborah was very nice, polite, the room and bedding were clean, and the atmosphere was perfect. She took time to talk through my intake form with me and make me comfortable. I want to start off with that Deborah's massage techniques may be a perfect fit for others! It's just that for me, it aggravated my back and hip muscles. I think that it had to do mostly with some of the stretching techniques that she uses as there was a pretty aggressive hip opener that immediately had pain shooting up my back. I think my problems respond better to trigger point and myofascial release as opposed to stretching. I had never had a massage like that before so I didn't know it would be problematic for me until we were in it. I would have just chalked it up to "Okay, not for me" if I was just sore yesterday, but I woke up this morning in serious pain and spent about 40 minutes with a lacrosse ball and a roller trying to get my back to settle down. I felt like I needed to write a review for people with similar issues to me: if you have "dead butt syndrome", Lower Crossed Syndrome, or gluteal amnesia, I don't think these techniques will be a good fit for you. read more

I sent my partner here for a birthday massage. Due to many stressful life circumstances happening the week of the massage, he didn't think he would be able to relax during the experience. Immediately after the massage he called me to let me know how amazing Deborah was. He noted her professionalism, her ability to be mindful of injuries and overall techniques. He said "I can't wait for you to try her!" Thank you Deborah!! read more

Definitely in my top massages of all time. The space was intimate, orderly and clean. The lighting and ambiance was perfect for relaxation mode. I found Deborah to be very personable and knowledgeable about her craft. I will be back. read more

It's very time consuming and tiresome to locate a therapist that you can feel completely comfortable and assured that you've made the best choice possible for all your bodily needs. I'm pleased to announce that I've definitely found my gem and will remain a faithful client until a) I relocate from the area or b) ms. hunter retires! If you want my rating I'll gladly give my service, next to cleanliness, followed up with professionalism a definite 5/5 for sure and looking forward to my future scheduled appointment! read more

I cannot speak more highly of Deborah. Her services are on the pricey end, but her skills and techniques are truly worth it. I've come in with tight muscle pain before and she has had me do some helpful PT exercises to stretch before beginning our massage. I love that she uses hot clothes, hot stones, and a massager throughout the massage- not just to help preserve her hands/joints, but also because it assists in relaxing the muscles and the stones feel really nice. I find her to be professional, thoughtful, listens to what you need both before and during the massage (i.e., pressure), and keeps the space clean. I don't have to worry about clean sheets or towels, and she provides water for after your massage. I highly recommend her (best is 90min, but 60min is the next best especially if you haven't gotten a massage before or it's been a while). read more

I had a wonderful experience with Deborah. She is in a new location and was able to make the new space welcoming and calming. I appreciated how she got to know me and my daily habits so she could cater the massage to my needs and give me tips on how to relieve/prevent tension in my neck and back. The massage was great-perfect amount of pressure and she focused on my main problems areas while also giving attention to areas that I didn't know I needed (hands, forearms, etc.)! I will definitely be back! read more

Satori Holistic Massage is located at Salon Concepts in Oakley, which is also home to my hair stylist, Amanda, at Bella Rey salon. Amanda had mentioned that Deborah, who owns Satori, is a great MT, so when Satori was offering a Groupon for a one-hour signature massage a couple months ago, I bought it right away. It took several rounds of phone tag to finally get an appointment scheduled with Deborah, but it was well worth the wait. I went in for my appointment today, and we started with the standard medical/massage history questionnaire so she would know how to best customize the massage to my needs. I usually get a massage about once a month, but I've been fairly stressed lately, and I could definitely feel it when she was working on my neck and shoulders. She was great about helping me to relax, though, and by the end of the hour, I felt a lot less knotted up. I'm going to continue to see my regular MT as well, but I already booked another appointment at Satori for July. Deborah is great, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone who needs an hour of relaxation. read more

Deborah was very kind and patient, yet very professional and definitely knew exactly what she was doing. Very knowledgeable in massage therapy and all the benefits....I left feeling great and also a little smarter as she shared many tips and advice on the benefits of massage therapy and living a healthy lifestyle. I've had many massages but this was definitely the most effective and most relaxing. read more

Deborah is the best massage therapist that I have ever had. I found her a while back on Groupon and couldn't believe how lucky I was to find her. She is extremely knowledgeable and affordable. She is very focused on client centered care. If you want the best massage of your life, go to Deborah aka Satori Holistic Massage! read more

I treat myself to a massage a few times a year, and over the years have seen a lot of different massage therapists. The only one I always go back to - even if I may see some others in between - is Deborah at Satori Holistic Massage. She gives the absolute, by far and away, best massages and it's always a great, relaxing experience. The only reasons I don't go there exclusively are location (she's about 20-25 minutes from home, so not super convenient) and sometimes I want the ambiance of somewhere fancy-pants like a Woodhouse. Not to say Satori doesn't have nice ambiance, it's just smaller and doesn't have room for some of the waiting room frills of other places. But when the most important piece is getting the best massage, there's nowhere else I'd recommend above Deborah at Satori. read more

Deborah is amazing! Located within Salon Concepts, way in the back is a small, private massage room where the most amazing massages happen. She frequently runs specials and is very friendly. The massages are out of this world. So happy to have found her. read more

I found Debbie on Groupon. Thankfully the certificate from Groupon had that it was inside salon lofts and the unit number, I find them a little difficult to navigate, this one is in a shopping center. Debbie was on time with my massage, she had me fill out a short health survey before we started. She went over it with me to make sure I didn't have any medical issues and reviewed the ones that I had checked off. The room was well appointed comfortable with relaxing music, dim lights, temperature was perfect. The massage was different from ones I had had before at other locations, she does a little bit more of the stretching of the neck and shoulders where I have most of my issues. She made sure the pressure was good for me when It got a little too deep. When it was all done I noticed she had spent a little extra time with me whether the review or the actual massage, I'm not sure.The massage felt great! She made sure I knew the importance of drinking a lot of water before and after a massage and supplied me with a bottle to go. She does offer a discount if you book again with her before you leave. Overall she was very nice very accommodating in I would recommend her. If I had the money I would do this every other week! read more

Great pressure and technique. Significant knowledge about the body and what to do to maintain physical health. I have already booked my next appointment. read more

Debbie was great at working the areas that I requested and with the intensity that I wanted. She listened.

Deborah was great and truly has a passion in her work. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to ask questions to understand what massage and techniques work best for each individual. I'll be back! read more

Deborah was wonderful I didn't want to get off the table. She was very knowledgeable and very professional.

This was one of the best massages I've gotten in a long,long time. I have already booked my next visit.

It was the BEST massage I have ever gotten, Deborah was so professional and kind. It is worth every penny!

Deborah was excellent and very knowledgeable. Not to mention the massage was nothing short of amazing! I love the neck stretching, warm towels and hot stones. It was a full sensory experience (minus taste of course!) and I can't wait for my next massage!! read more

Deborah was great. She spent about 15 minutes learning about me. She then spent 1.5 hours stretching and kneading my shoulders and back, giving me advise. I felt so much better. I like deep touch (no elbows please) and it was just the right amount of stretching and pressure. Can't wait to go back. read more

Deborah is one of best massage therapists I have even been to! I found her on groupon about a year ago and have been seeing her monthly ever since! read more

I've been seeing Deborah for several years and would never go anywhere else. I always do 90 minutes and because she is so intuitive, the massage is never the same. She just knows if I need more back and shoulder work, or if my stress level is off the charts, or if I need extra stretching, my sciatica is making a threat, or just totally overall relaxing. It's rare to find a massage therapist that can diagnose and treat by touch alone with very little instruction. Can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Deborah is a wonderful therapist. I have lived all over the world and had many massages and I have pick her. I also took her to Italy to be my therapist there for my clients. She is truly worth a visit!!!! read more

Although this was my first professional massage, I thought it was amazing here. The warm welcoming atmosphere is genuine. I really liked that I was sat down with and Deborah asked if I had any questions and we went over any areas I was feeling more stressed in on my body. After wards, we talked about one shoulder being really tight and what I can do to help relieve the tightness. It was a great experienced and when it was done the first thing I said was, "is it legal to walk after this?!" go visit inside of Salon Concepts in Oakley! read more

This was my first visit to Satori and wow, am I so delightfully satisfied! Deborah is kind, gentle and very understanding of your individual massage needs. She first tries to learn what you need/want and uses these information to tailor her massage service for you. She also gives a very calming aura which I really liked, as it helped me relax even more. Overall, the massage was remarkable and Deborah knows what she's doing. I highly recommend Deborah and Satori to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind rejuvenating experience that is worth every penny! read more

I scheduled my massage with Deborah on Schedulicity. I had a little difficulty finding a time, but that tells me she must be busy. I loved the music , the scent of the oil, bubbling fountain, warm stones and towels, stretching of the neck with a cloth, the movements were strong yet luscious. She quietly reminded me to breath and relax. Very different from any massage I've had. I loved it! read more

Deborah did a fantastic job! I was so relaxed during and after!

It's good to see that someone got a massage here. I tried. I really tried. I had a Groupon for this place which expired at the end of August. So, at the beginning of August I called Satori. I got the answering machine and left a message. A few days later I had a voice mail from Satori, so I called back. This time, I got no return call. After awhile I tried again. After a few days she called back and said she was booked through August but would honor the Groupon in September. Great! So I called back and suggested 4 days and times during her business hours when I was available for an appointment. A week passed with no response. So I called again. Four days later I called again. Two days later I called again. Then I sent an email. This was a couple of weeks ago and I still have not heard back. I'll assume she decided not to honor the Groupon at all. I never would have been so persistent if not for the Groupon and I certainly won't bother in the future. There are dozens of good massage therapists within a 5 mile radius who will actually return calls and book appointments. I'll stick with one of them. read more

I have been going to Deborah for almost 4 years now. Before I went to her i was on muscle relaxers and had horrible back pain. Now I go to her 1-2 times a month and no longer take any muscle relaxers. I have had massages at other places, but none have been as good as Deborah. I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I found Deborah through a Groupon two years ago. I am so glad I went to her. Her touch was just right and I felt very special after my signature massage. She has continued to help me. Her space at Salon Concepts is very relaxing spa setting. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

I bought one massage thru Groupon, and thought the massage was pretty good. Deborah Hunter talked me into 2 more massages at a discounted rate - but I had to do it that day. So I paid for the 2 additional massages for a future date - to be determined. These would not be thru Groupon. Groupon has no responsibility and can give me no protection on the additional paid for massages. I do have medical issues - Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, arthritis, recent back surgery, (2) neck fusions, all due to an 'uninsured Insurance Executive" rear-ending my car in 2008. I did explain all of this to Deborah. A few weeks after my massage, I went to my neurosurgeon regarding my continuing, extreme neck pains. Thru x-rays and MRI's, it was determined that my fusions have failed, and actually one screw had gone thru the bone - all my discs in my neck are bad. My doctor had me cancel my new Anderson Healthplex membership, and told me to nothing involving my neck - no exercising, massages, etc. He gave me letters to give to all. After numerous attempts to reach deborah, I got thru just prior to my next message & explained that my doctor did not want me to do anything involving my neck, and offered her his letter. Therefore, I needed to cancel the appointment and get a refund for the 2 extra visits. She said fine. Since that time, I have called and get a voice message then it rings & rings - not allowing any messages to be left. I've called the Salon in Oakley, that she has her room for her Massages, they cannot take any messages for her. ****When I am well enough, I will go over and try to get a refund due me. She has been avoiding me - emails, phone calls. I hate someone being unprofessional. I reached her in time to cancel my appointment. I feel I am due a refund, or at least transfer the massages to my son. She has not allowed me any options, just ignores me. This is not very professional, however, I am willing to work things out. But it appears, she is not interested. I am shocked, as i really believed she was trying to help me with all my issues. read more

Since moving to Cincinnati 3 years ago, I have been looking to find a massage therapist that could even come close to my favorite massage therapist in my old city. Yesterday, I found her. Having had only lackluster experiences since moving here, my expectations were not that great. Deborah's calming and kind spirit was the first thing I noticed about her. After filling out some standard questions for new customers, she took me into the massage room and talked with me for 15 minutes about how my body is involved in my work, things to look out for, what I was looking for in a massage, and she encouraged me to give her feedback if I needed any more or less during the massage, assuring me this massage was for me and she wanted to do everything in her power to make it so. It was completely individualized, which in my opinion, a massage should be. The massage itself was spectacular. She went directly to the spots that needed attention and checked in with me several times. As a professional classical singer, she even massaged me throat! I'd never experienced that before but I was hooked. I booked another appointment before leaving. Can't wait for my next session with Deborah! If I could, I'd give her 6 stars. read more
