So grateful I found the Still Point and my new massage therapist Salina Othman! I've had all kinds…read moreof massage but my favorite is lomi lomi (long, soothing strokes) and it's challenging to find someone who practices it. Due to this, I haven't had a full body massage in probably 8-10 years. But after my magical, relaxing, and rejuvenating massage with Salina yesterday, massage is now going to be a regular ritual for me once again. In addition to being a skilled and talented massage therapist, Salina is also thoughtful, caring, and responsive. The other bonus is that Still Point is in the Tangletown neighborhood near Green Lake and Wallingford and has plenty of free street parking. Yes! Also, the building is pretty, peaceful, modern, clean, and kinda feels like walking through an Escher drawing (thanks for that analogy, Salina, it's spot on) to get to your room. I loved my time there. If you're looking for a great massage studio, check this place out. If you try Salina, tell her I sent ya!

You can sense the level of experience in what goes into their work. I also felt an amazing sense of comfort during the massage, which allowed me to truly relax. I would absolutely recommend The Still Point and can't wait to visit again.

Very clean and peaceful, they even gave me a quick tour of the infrared sauna which I'm interested in trying out in the future. Had some peppermint tea as well! I had a 90 minute relaxation massage with Kieran and wow, relaxation was achieved! I definitely was so relaxed i fell asleep and caught myself snoring a couple of times (LOL). I felt a bit embarrassed but both Kieran and Amber assured me it was okay and it's a compliment to the massage therapist knowing they are doing their job in helping their customers feel relaxed :) Getting a massage has been long overdue and I'm so glad I found this place!I can't wait to come back!

Patti is super friendly and I love just chatting with her before and after my appointments too! I used a seasonal special my first visit, and if you book your next appointment right after, you get 10% off your next appointment. I just got a prepaid package that's buy 4, get the 5th free since I come so often and I'd save some money that way. I've done a body treatment that's left my body clean and refreshed, but I mainly come back for the hour long facials and massages. The massages are relaxing and she gets all my knots out without digging hard, and she also gave me some suggestions for exercises to do in order to prevent soreness in tight spots like my shoulders. I like to get a facial at least once a season with the changing temperatures and she always goes over the ingredients, oils, and lotions she's using, and you get a nice shoulder and arm massage too! I really like the products she sells as well, Sweet Sisters, which is a local Washington brand that uses natural, organic ingredients. I got the rose jojoba moisturizer and not only does it make my face smell delicious, it's extremely hydrating and a little goes a long way. Would definitely recommend Earthly Rituals for a go-to spa!

I realized that I what I was feeling as being tight was really my muscles were weak. Not only did she give me a massage, but she followed up with things I can do at home.

Danielle has perfect pressure and somehow made my deep tissue massage (which I usually find painful…read moredue to all the knots in my back) feel amazing but still effective. She asks you where you want to focus at the very start of your appointment, which I find not all places do. I'll definitely be back. She did wonders for my neck and upper back, and her prices are super reasonable.

Danielle is great. I've been getting massages from her regularly for a couple years now…read more I initially sought her out because she specializes in therapeutic massage. Through a few sessions, she was able to help relieve the tightness and soreness in my lower back and shoulders that had accumulated through years of weightlifting. Danielle's general deep tissue massages are top-notch as well, and she's a great conversationalist. I keep coming back because her deep tissue massages are so relaxing, and she's fun to talk to. If you're in the Ballard area and you're looking for a good massage, and you want to support a small business, I would highly recommend Smiling Owl Massage.
