Alex gave me one of the best deep tissue massages of my life - she is very strong and intuitive to the knots and tight spots - and released all of the knots in my body - some had been there for months. She also listens well to what you ask for and remembers to do it. She has a sparkling positive energy that was delightful to be around. Spa itself has positive energy, friendly staff and organic high quality beauty products for purchase. Highly reccomend this gem of a spa read more

Caring staff and a nice east side vibe. I look at other places, but always end up here. Wide variety of massage styles and methods. read more

SolEscape Healing Arts - Day Spas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

It was my first time at SolEscape and the soothing ambiance and friendly employees made me feel welcome. I was lucky to find parking right across the street. I had a wonderful relaxing massage provided by Paige. read more

Meg is amazing! I had a TON of tension in my neck and shoulders. I swear I feel like a new human being after that deep tissue massage. The shop is adorable, there are products available for purchase, and it's super peaceful. So glad I found this place. read more

So I'm not the massage/spa type of guy, but decided to join my wife for a couples massage on our visit to Madison and I am SO glad that I did. I had Jaimie Becka, and let me tell you, she did an amazing job. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep a couple of times because of how relaxed I was feeling. I also didn't realize how much I needed a massage until I got one here. Got the full 60 minutes, I should have gotten a longer one. Long story short, highly recommend, and ask for Jaimie! read more

I was excited to buy a long massage with the best-reviewed masseuse at the best-reviewed spa in Madison as a birthday gift for my spouse. I scheduled it for their birthday, then SolEscape cancelled the appointment and rescheduled them for the following Friday at a time that they cannot attend. They did this without notifying us. The morning of the originally scheduled appointment, I called at least a dozen times and left multiple voicemails to try and figure out what happened or to get an apology; no one answered or returned my calls. I can't believe the careless nature of their poor customer service. I will never try to come here again. (Also, it's rich that their cancellation policy says they will honor their appointments and respect their customers' time) read more

This is way overdo. Apologies to Al. I visited SolEscape from LA. Came to Wisconson to decompress and have a very relaxing retreat. I stayed at a resort but was introduced to ashiatsu massage in Portland so I seek it out when traveling. I booked a massage with Al and I must say it was one of the best experiences that I have ever had in my life. I hesitate to call it simply a massage because it was a spiritual journey. Turns out that Al trained with the massage therapists in Portland where I originally heard of this technique. I wish he lived closer. Do yourself a favor and give him a try. You will NOT be disappointment. Amazing experience and human being. read more

I saw Laura today and had initially booked 60 minutes. She got so into feeling what I was dealing with we went over our time by quite a bit. It wasn't just a massage, Laura connected with my body. I booked my second appointment before I left the building. read more

Laura Schaeffer is an incredible therapist. With great technical skill, an intuitive understanding of your body when she's working on you, and constantly evolving as a professional, Laura hands down is incredible. I've had over thirty five years of massage therapy and she is absolutely one if not the best therapist I've ever had work on me. Seriously, THE BEST ever! read more

I recently started booking appointments with Laura S at Sol Escape. I have been getting massage thearpy for over 10 years, and I truly have never been to a massuse that is as incredible as Laura!!! Today I received the best massage I have ever had IN MY LIFE! Laura utilizes multiple modalities in her practive to heal and serve her clients. She takes the time at the beginning of each service to consultate her client on their specific needs and preferences. I also love the energy that she carries and brings to our sessions! I leave feeling extremely relaxed and that shes addressed my physical and mental healing in our session. I have seen Laura for facial/massage combo and cupping massage services and I plan to continue to see her as long as were both in Madison! I can not recommend her more! 20/10!!! read more

I had a two-hour lomi lomi massage with Laurel that was excellent! I frequently get massages elsewhere, but this was my first lomi lomi massage. It was a bit different from the typical Swedish massage, but it was very relaxing and felt fantastic. I actually had meant to try this out as just a one-time thing, but I will be back! read more

I had a massage with Al. It was hands down the BEST massage I've ever had (and I'm 50 so I've had my fair share of massages). He combined regular massage with ashiatsu and hot stone. He made special care to make sure I was comfortable, covered and relaxed. I prefer a deeper tissue massage and this was just perfect. I will be a return customer. The spa itself is very warm and inviting. The people who work there are very nice. They have a lot of spa options and are even adding a salt cave. This is definitely a place to go and unwind. read more

Best massage I've ever had! Alan is amazing - he found knots where I didn't know knots existed. I truly appreciated the time he took before and after to find out why I wanted a massage and offered suggestions to keep the knots away. Additionally, my 90 min massage was truly 90 minutes! I Will def be going back. read more

I had a 30 min massage appointment on Oct 11 with Kirsten Martin for muscle soreness and tension in my neck and shoulders, which I let her know about. During the massage, Kirsten used a lot of force to the point where it was very painful at times. I didn't speak up at the time because I thought this was normal, but speaking to colleagues and friends afterward about my experience, they told me that massage shouldn't be painful. I left last night feeling some relief from the muscle soreness and tension, but woke up this morning feeling worse. My neck, where she focused a lot of pressure, is tender to the touch and I am feeling soreness moving my neck around. I felt worse after the massage than I did going in. I emailed SolEscape with this information/feedback on Oct. 12 and they never responded. read more

Always very professional, and wonderful massages! The salt cave is amazing too! Very clean and relaxing atmosphere

Great experience with a 60 minute couples massage, which my wife called the best she's ever had. Both therapists were attentive and responsive to our requests. Easy to call, schedule, check in, following all safety protocols, and in a great location. read more

This was an amazing massage and stretching. Alan is amazing, highly recommend him. If we lived in Madison I'd be there weekly. He knew exactly what spots to hit and really reduced my pain level for days! read more

Laura is amazing! She does a brilliant hot stone massage--I have had several with her. She listens to what you say, also what your body tells her, and tries to tailor her treatment to your specific needs. I have arthritis and my joints are often stiff and inflamed. She knows how to loosen them, use the heat if the stones and massage therapy, to improve mobility and decrease inflammation. Laura added cupping to my last treatment and it was also amazing. Try it! read more

One word: HEAVENLY. I booked a massage with Al after reading reviews, and I'm echoing another Yelper -- best massage I've ever had. SolEscape has a very welcoming and relaxing vibe. Al was finishing up with someone at the front desk when I arrived (I was excited and early), and he offered me a cup of water and said he'd be right out. The woman at the front desk was also very nice. We started off by Al sitting down with me and asking me any concerns. He really listened and asked me questions about my preferences, more so than most massage therapists. He told me that he does Ashiatsu, which I've never had before. He was kind, warm, and funny. Such a nice guy! I was a little nervous (feet!) but it was soooo relaxing. He did a combo of hands on and Ashiatsu, with a few good stretches. He used some really nice oils (one for headaches after reading that on my intake form!) too. This is minor, but I thought the massage table was way more comfortable than they usually are. So cozy. An hour massage cost $75 (plus tip). Expensive, but seriously worth it. Bonus: because it was my first time there, they tacked on an extra 15 minutes (promotional special). I honestly can't think of one thing I'd change. At all! This was the best, amazing, relaxing... all the things. Thanks, SolEscape and Al!! read more

Al is AMAZING. Iv never had a ashiwatsu technique done but if you like deep tissue, I highly recommend this. I'll tell you I was completely in shock with how great I felt during and after!! I can't believe I have gone this long without 1: meeting AL, and 2: getting this type of massage. He explains what he does. I live in Chicago and he even game me a contact for someone out there. He is so sweet and loves what he does. My right side neck/shoulder was in pain for 5 weeks on and off and he has healed it. He is a miracle worker. I almost went to a chiropractor but thanks to him no need. Thank you AL I will see you again someday! P.S. Tis a cute and clean massage spot!! It has all good therapists. Iv seen two here but was ever changed by AL! read more

So, I travel all the time. No really, all the time. So when I have one free weekend in Madison a month, the need to treat myself from all of the travel, and an aching, painful back that's been bothering me for years... The natural choice is to find a good massage! After gratuitous Yelp searches, I was lured to SolEscape. And, man, it's worth it! I made an appointment online (they have weekend appointments!!!), and since I haven't been there before, I asked for whoever was available. That meant Michelle was my masseuse, and she is just fabulous! I regularly fall asleep on the table, while still getting the slightly-painful-but-needed extra attention on my sore shoulders. The full body 75 min deep tissue massage... Woowww. Words can't describe. The atmosphere is very kind, respectful, relaxing, and the massage oils are very pleasant--just the right amount of scent without being overpowering. They have heated massage tables, which I didn't expect to like as much as I do. Even the music is just right! My only comment would be that you can hear people talking when they are getting rung up in the main area, which can sometimes be distracting from the experience. Overall, a wonderful splurge that will hopefully lead to better back health! read more

I was traveling and desperate for a massage. Thankfully I got an appt the next day with Julie. I told her my trouble spots and she was a miracle worker. I wanted to stay for another hour! Easy to find, adequate parking and nice environment. I would come again if I ever visit Madison. read more

My husband and I booked the salt cave and it was amazing. We were so relaxed and we felt so comfortable. We will definitely be back when we visit Madison again. read more

Came here for a maternity massage and it was so nice. Everyone here is friendly and the atmosphere was so relaxing. It smells really nice here too! They do have a shared bathroom with other businesses but that's alright. The massage therapist I saw was amazing. She did a wonderful job. I didn't feel awkward at all. Scheduling was very convenient and they even take TASC cards here which was amazing instead of having to go through the reimbursement process which is always a pain! I felt so relaxed afterwards. I'm looking forward to going back and getting more massages! 4 weeks left of my pregnancy and I'm feeling it! I need a mommy day. read more

I've been trying to book a appointment for over a week with them. No one answered the phone, responded to 1 Facebook message and has not got back to me when I wanted to book a appointment for my fiancé and I. Customer service is so crap read more

I came here because I was in dire need of a massage. I was able to make an appointment online for 2 days later. I got the 90 min SolEscape Signature Massage with Julia Rowe. I will say, it was one of the best massages I have gotten. Julia was able to get all the kinks out (and 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time). Towards the end of the massage, Julia used hot stones on my upper body/face and it felt amazing. Even though I live in Milwaukee, if I get a chance to return here, I will. read more

When I want to relax, refresh and revitalize, I head to Sol Escape for a massage. Hannah has the kind of knowing touch I look for in a masseuse. She is able to adjust pressure to your liking and find all those hidden tight spots you didn't even know you had! I started out with 60 minute massages, but was always so sad when the time ended I decided 90 minutes, or even 120 is the ONLY way to go! You will not regret giving this as a gift to yourself, or to someone you care about. The space is extremely clean and comfortable, and they have nice products as well. read more

I travel worldwide and frequent massage locales from Asia, America, Europe. SolEscape is a modest clean small operation using a mix of Chinese/ western methods. My masseuse was Julie S. Based on only 1 visit, I rate it a surprising 5 stars. Cost was $59 for 1 hour with first time discount. read more

Had a great experience with Michelle. I suffer from muscle pain in my back due to a Snowboard accident. So I go to massage therapists at least once a month. Since I travel I get a lot of different therapist. Michelle ranks on the top. She took care of my triggerpoints, showed no mercy and worked herself step by step through my back for an hour. Result: I felt way less stiff. She really softened my muscles. If you are looking for a real therapeutic massage, you must visit this place. read more

This was legitimately the BEST massage I have ever gotten in my whole entire life. I have never felt my mussels like that before. Best is even an understatement for how good this place is. Al really worked on my back and problem areas, I would highly recommend. Will be returning. Best massage I've had in a while. read more

A friend of mine recommended SolEscape and Julia Rowe for a prenatal massage. I wish I could go every week. She does amazing work and has such a relaxing personality and touch. I highly recommend prenatal massage as a way to relax during pregnancy, especially towards the end! It is honestly the only time my body and mind are in full chill mode (and this place has everything to do with it). I had one prenatal massage at another studio and it was nothing compared to the two I have received from Julia. I can't recommend her enough and look forward to my postnatal massage! I also received a regular (non-prenatal) massage from someone else at SE, but I cannot remember her name, unfortunately. She was great though. All the staff I have encountered are super friendly and I love this little neighborhood spa! Being able to book online is a huge plus. Thanks, SolEscape! read more

I just got what was probably the best massage of my life from a massage therapist named Bridget. She even went a little over time because we got a late start (nobody's fault--some paperwork needed filling out and the weather was bad). Massages are awesome (duh...hardly needs saying) but they're also expensive--too expensive for most of us to afford on a regular basis. This might be the first massage I've had where I thought "that was definitely worth the money. Maybe even a bargain." I will definitely be back. read more

I've had a few cycling accidents, some of which cause me chronic pain. I had Neural Reset Therapy that remedied some severe Achilles' tendon pain I was experiencing and acupuncture for a ganglion cyst and leg pain that developed after different accidents. I'm so relieved that I found ways to recover from something I thought I was just going to have to life with. I'm really grateful that SolEscape is in my neighborhood. They've helped me a lot! read more

SolEscape Healing Arts - Acupuncture for my ganglion cyst. Helped so much! - Day Spas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I love getting massages at Sol Escape! I recommend Hannah and Liz, but I am sure that anyone there would be great. What's awesome about Sol Escape is that they have massage therapists on staff 7 days a week and they offer evening times, too. It's very easy to book appointments online. The place is very clean and they even have table warmers for winter massages. Ask about the package deal--if you pay for a 5-visit punch card, it ends up being a bit cheaper. read more

They fit my boyfriend and I in to the last spot of the day and stayed late to talk to us about our appointment and how to do stretches and things. The massage was perfect. Quiet rooms, warm beds. Highly recommend read more

I had my first ashiatsu massage with Al yesterday afternoon! I'm an avid runner and yogi and came in expecting them to recommend a deep tissue massage. However, I'm so glad I kept an open mind and decided to go with Al's recommendation (it's his specialty). He does use his feet at times for this massage but he's very mindful about the amount of pressure he applies and if it's too much. It can be intense at times but I left feeling very relaxed. He mostly did this to apply pressure on my glutes and legs (which was where I was the most tight). I will definitely be returning !! read more

Today I had a 60 minute massage that I scheduled just a few hours before the appointment. Holy moly best massage of my life. My muscles were so tense and I didn't even know until I felt how many knots I had. Will 100% be going again. Reasonable price for the experience. WOW. read more

My gf & I went for our first massages together for 60min. Bridget & Liz were great. We left feeling relaxed and peaceful. Definitely recommend and will definitely look to come back, especially with our active lifestyles. read more

I saw a service menu posted at Heartland CU, and thought I'd get myself a facial and my first peel (I'll try anything once). I have been going to day spas since I was in my teens, and I know a good service when I find it. I can say with confidence that this place is good. It was really one of the best facials I've had in Madison. Unhurried, relaxing, and very thorough. I have found many facials lacking in the extraction department. The aesthetician either doesn't get all of them out, or they rush, damaging your skin. Not so in this case. I had tons of nasty-ass blackheads/whiteheads (mostly on my nose but other places, too), and congestion from ingrown hairs. I also had a (new word of the day) milium near my right eye- ew. It looks like a huge whitehead, but it's actually a cholesterol deposit, and should be extracted by a professional. Hey, Mickie got rid of that, too- in her words: 'easily'! :D She was friendly, easy to talk to, and informative about the service. Other good things? A nice firm hand and head/neck massage (such a relief for my tendonitis and neck problems... sigh... :3), attentive yet unobtrusive ensuring that I was comfortable. Perhaps this is insignificant to others, but... while I was having the peel, she fanned me by hand, to keep my skin cool. Like, with a paper fan. This way, she could watch closely for any adverse reactions to the peel. I liked that. It really stood out to me as hands-on and human. :) Now that it's been 3 days or so, all this dead skin has come off- leaving my skin brighter, smoother, and happier. Sol Escape also offers package deals on multiple services (sometimes this means you get an extra service for free!), so give a call or check the website. They also sell some high quality natural botanical products, which I may try in the future. Big ups to this new local business. With service such as I received, they will surely thrive. And, hey, guys- you, too can get facials and peels and stuff! It's ok to be pretty... :3 read more
