I've been a regular client here and always had positive experiences and great massages, but…read moresomething very upsetting happened recently that I feel obligated to share. During a massage, I removed my anniversary ring --a custom-designed blue diamond ring from my 10th anniversary--and placed it on the provided tray before the session began. After the massage, the ring was gone. I hadn't left the room, and we searched the space and my belongings thoroughly. The staff were cooperative and said no one turned it in. A police report was filed. Unfortunately, I still don't have answers or closure. I'm sharing this not to assign blame, but to strongly urge others to keep valuables securely on their person or avoid bringing them at all. This has been a painful and ongoing experience, and I hope no one else has to go through the same.

I made a New Year's resolution to make self-care a priority by having a massage from time to time…read more However, I've always thought of them as a special occasion item and sort of out of my budget. I remember a friend told me about this place, years ago - that you can get an affordable massage done by students in training. I went to the website, scheduled the appointment and I am so glad I gave them a try!! Since they are students, you may get a different person each time - and that is fine with me. I've been two times and each visit was great. They were professional, they asked me questions and asked if I needed attention to specific areas and they ask if you need more or less pressure. I have a sedentary job and carry tension in my neck and back so I asked for attention to those areas. My first massage was done in Feb 2022 and the cost was $35 cash. The pricing has since increased and its now $40 cash. You must bring cash. I also brought enough for a tip as well. I recommend this facility for a massage because they are very personable, they ask how you are doing and provide excellent instructions and take care of you.

Everyone here is so friendly, welcoming, and the massage I received was amazing!! I'll start with the facility. Although a little difficult to find from the street, once you enter the space you immediately feel the serenity. The waiting area is bright, comfortable, clean and relaxing. The massage areas and spaces are tranquil and comfortable as well. The format is simple: Arrive for your appointment. Check-in at the front desk. Just tell your therapist what you came for, and they will take care of the rest! And, let's not mention...the price for a hour session is only $35!!....more than reasonable!!! The massage sessions are provided by the students as part of their work toward completing their clinical hours for massage school. From the moment I stepped through their doors....to the moment of meeting my therapist for the day....and finally, leaving...."EVERYTHING" was top-notch and professional. My therapist name was Stacy and she was outstanding! She was very focused and attentive. She had great technique and knew exactly when to variate the pressure to rid some of the most pesky knots that often trouble me after heavy workout days or my crossfit classes. I walked in like the "Tin-Man"--stiff as a board, with a tense headache and a couple bad sore-spots....but, walked out feeling completely renewed and so relaxed. I would say the quality of the massage was just as good as any professional one I've gotten. In all, I must admit I was skeptical, but made a believer! I will definitely be a regular and have already scheduled my next visit. Highly recommend!

I have been dealing with back pain for weeks and randomly decided to go here to get a massage since…read morethey had a lower back pain therapy service listed on their page. I was not disappointed. My masseuse Nina was very focused from the beginning of the treatment. She asked me where my problem areas were before the service, and a couple of times again during the service. She asked me if there was any area that needed more attention after she focused on my back, and I told her my shoulders since I work at an office job. I think I'm just greedy I want everything rubbed for a while lol. Anyway she dug in and even climbed the table to apply more pressure at times. She lightened the pressure when I asked her to, and even informed me of where she felt the most knots. I would say if you want bells and whistles, then you may need to go somewhere else. But if you want a no frills, focused, deep massage that results in pain relief....you should give this place a try. Tell her Yolanda sent you ;-).

From the moment you walk in, the space is incredibly peaceful and inviting. You can feel the intention and care in every corner. I had the chance to meet both Shirin and Noushin, the founders of Ladan Spa -- two magical, warm, and grounded women who have come together to offer a space for those on a soul healing journey and seeking holistic ways to heal. Shirin's energy is nurturing and intuitive. The session itself was deeply relaxing and insightful -- I left feeling lighter, more balanced, and connected to myself in a new way. For those unfamiliar, IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) is a gentle hands-on healing method that helps release energetic blocks stored in the body -- often from emotional trauma or stress -- and supports healing on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level. It's amazing for anyone looking to clear stagnant energy and open up to deeper healing. They also offer workshops and other fun holistic events if you're interested in learning more about energy work and exploring your own healing path in community. Ladan Holistic Spa is truly a gem -- a safe, loving space to reset, recharge, and reconnect. I'm so grateful for the experience and will definitely be back.

Her name is Ligia (pronounced Leah) and she proceeded to provide maximum relaxation via a deep tissue/Swedish combo massage. Listen, I actually went to sleep and had to be awakened! I was not ready to go! The best way to describe her hands, was like a body facial application! Her hands were buttery soft but woah the pressure was spot on!! It felt like I was floating hence I went to sleep! Towards the end, face up was time spent on my scalp, face and Decollete...who knew I needed that soooo bad! It was heavenly!! Turns out she's a trained esthetician which made sense that she was so smooth with the facial massage. I am so relaxed and legit had to sit for 15 minutes to gather energy to drive home. After taking care of elderly parents for 2 weeks (ripping and running), this 90 minute massage was needed and deserved! I'm thrilled for E&S and Iris!

Penny is A M A Z I N G!…read more I have her come out to my house weekly as part of my own little wellness program, which is to say, I'm old and I needed to find an excuse to get a massage every week. I'm trying to take care of my body now that is out of warranty and breaking down. She is one part masseuse and one part detective. It's uncanny how even if I don't tell her which part of my back is sore, she can find that one small muscle that is making all of the other muscles tense up around it. I've had massages at the mall where the therapists basically take you through their "one size fits all" routine no matter what area you want them to focus on - they use blunt force and do everything quick and aggressive. Penny is purposed and methodical in her assessment (her fingers are her instruments doing the assessment). She probes gently as she walks her fingers up and down your back to find that "angry" muscle and give it some healing. If it doesn't want to comply, she delivers power, primarily through her elbows, but doesn't pull the elbow out just for the sake of doing it - it's always with a purpose and that purpose to help your back find peace. There have been times when I've walked in with such tight pain in my neck or shoulder and I can't get a full range of motion in my neck or my arm. But after she's worked on my tight neck for example, it's liked someone greased the gears inside of my neck because my neck can swivel 90 degrees in either direction without any effort, whereas before it was full of tension. Speaking of grease, she does not use an abundance of lotion so you don't feel like a greased up pig at the end. Her prices are very reasonable, especially since she comes out to you!
