I had made a post about needing a massage and got many responses of which many looked more…read moreappealing than this company. The owner proceeded to pester me outside of my post and then slander me on my post saying I must not really want a massage, that I was faking needing one. I got set up with a much more professional and respectable company and will never hire Be Balanced. Hopefully if this person is a good massage therapist they practice better interpersonal skills with future potential clients. Edit 1: The owner has responded to my review here with more evidence of his unprofessionalism. I have screenshots of everything to prove everything I've said here. Starting from the top of his response, I will take a humble masseuse over a man with a fragile ego any day. The boasting is unprofessional and is insulting to all those in his profession. You do not need a bunch of gold stars to be a good massage therapist. You do need them if you have a fragile ego and want validation for your accomplishments. Moving on, his response lies about me reaching out to women and wanting to work with them. I was looking for level-headed and competent therapists and I only reached out to a single person to see if they were available. That person is a man. There was no slander allegation, it's a slander acknowledgement. It happened. I think the proper legal term is libel but this isn't a courtroom. He lied about me on my post and continued to lie about me here. No offense was taken by any part of this. I just don't think this person should be getting business when this is how he conducts himself. And his closing advice is that if I need a therapeutic massage I should try not getting one? Man needs to get a grip. Last note is that he didn't even spell the association that he's on the board of properly, leading him to claim to be on the board of an association that doesn't exist. Never have I met someone in this profession so unhinged and fragile. Edit 2: The owner has since edited his response to be much more professional but it's still passive aggressive. There was no apology for his behavior, but I guess that's smart on his end as it'd be an admission of misbehaving. Taking responsibility for his actions appears to be outside his wheelhouse. Anyways, I've attached some screenshots to show what I'm talking about. If you don't want to call it slander, call it lying. Same difference.

Michelle and I talked before my massage about my problems and what I wanted to improve, and she went above and beyond. I am normally a huge wimp when it comes to massages, but Michelle was great about checking in and making sure the pressure wasn't hurting me!

Some people need a spa-like experience with cucumbers on the eyes and vanilla candles. Others focus on technique and are willing to bring a candle and a cucumber if need be. So then there's Chris. Her practice is in a very nice building over in Kentwood-ish. Her office is is cozy and the room is private. Chris practices therapeutic massage so she employs all the tricks of the trade. Think deep tissue, Swiss, lymphatic drainage, the works. She really does like to get to know you as a client so she does ask questions, mostly to understand how best to help. I tend to want to sleep. No questions for me. But beyond that, her technique is top notch. She is thorough and fearless ... she's great at detecting what muscle needs to be released and doesn't stop until it's done. THAT is a great therapist. The approach is not for the faint-hearted but if you know what you're looking for in a massage Chris has the knowledge and skill will deliver. Most massages charge for ambiance ... the aforementioned vanilla candle, the steam room, lockers. I suppose that's all great but I'd rather spend the money on a great massage. I'll find a spa treatment a different day. Give Chris a call!

By the time she grabbed the masseuse, things were not a place for relaxation. I know people don't want to be on camera, but I clearly wasn't filming inside and actively putting it in my pocket.
