Still Life clearly takes great care in choosing their massage therapists. Each has clear communication before and during the treatment, and also communicate well between staff so there is good continuity. The therapists are also great at suggesting colleagues if I want to change things up for a different approach; the teamwork approach is appreciated! The front desk staff is also very professional and friendly. It's very attractive and clean with good, free parking. I also like that the location encourages me to head out for a stroll after my massage to let things settle before I drive. I have a hot tub myself, otherwise I would def try the immersion float! read more

As a retired practitioner of bodywork modalities and frequent sensory deprivation tank user-years ago, I've come back to the "tank" to treat my deployment injuries. The isolation of the tank allows one's mind and body to "unwind", literally. It clears the mind and allows the fascia to ease and relax. Chant, hum, find YOUR "Altered State" at Still Life today. I received a clear and detailed explanation of the process which the water in the tanks goes through for each session. Amazing, caring staff was the icing on the "cake". Get in the tank TODAY! read more

I highly recommend Still Life for both massage and floats. We had enjoyed their services prior to Covid and have only recently gone back for multiple Floats and Massages. The staff is great and supportive and facility is very clean, relaxing and welcoming with easy parking. We've had excellent massages from 2 different therapists and are now regular customers! read more

I chose to get a massage at this business because of all the stellar reviews! I am happy to say that I was not disappointed! My massage therapist Ivy was excellent! She took the time to listen to what things were ailing me and she gave me one of the best 90 minute massages of my life! She had the perfect blend of Swedish, deep tissue and trigger point techniques that helped me feel so much better for several days after my massage. Ivy was kind, caring, funny and knowledgeable - a true delight! I highly recommend this business (and especially Ivy) for your next massage! read more

Service was great, the front desk staff is helpful. Massage therapist was kind and did a fantastic job of relaxing some knots in my back. I look forward to coming back again. read more

I checked out the floating pool, which is cool in some ways, and not in others.... For instance, I got a lot of salt in my eyes, and the water spray fell out of the tub because I couldn't see well and then my body ached to lean over the edge and get it. And actually an hour is too long.! And the price is not really worth it! I've decided a hot tub is a better deal and much more relaxing. But on a different note, I did have a good massage from Aaron. read more

Wonderful as always! My only complaint is, the shower was cold! It would have been nice if, after my soak, I could have showered off in warm water. read more

Truly remarkable ~ BEST massage in the county, and am looking forward to the day I can experience the float. Thank you Still Life!

I have nothing but good things to say about Still Life! I was drawn here because of the sensory deprivation tanks. I have gone several times. It feels very healthy to give your senses a break. And when you are done you feel refreshed! There are even some great details that shows the owners are here to give a five star experience. For example, when you're inside the tank there's a face cloth available if you accidentally touch your face since the salt water can irritate your face. They also offer massage. I've been a handful of times over the years. Each massage therapist I've met there is very skilled. At the beginning when you tell them what bothers you, they ask very specific questions to tune into the source of the problem. To me this shows they are skilled at their trade and they care about the client. The owners are also very kind people. Because I've been in several times they know me and my wife by name. It give a sense of community. If you have the chance to go here, go for a massage and float (or float and massage if you prefer that order). It is a wonderful experience! read more

Amazing massage, float and sauna. They thought of everything to enjoy each service with ease. The staff is very friendly and caring. And the jellyfish!!!! read more

Still Life Massage & Float - Infrared sauna - Massage Therapy Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

UPDATE: place feels blindsided by my review - yes, had some good appointments. But the last 2, the first one the therapist was talking about being hung over while doing the massage and the next one was talking about how she was tired because she had been playing Resident Evil for the last 72 hours. Just like everyone else running the front she got complacent and gave up on her sense of professionalism. In the end, I don't blame her - she is basically a child still. But there isn't anyone maintaining a sense of decency and professionalism. read more

Took my wife as part of our anniversary and it was a fantastic experience! We just went for personal massages and both our experience with different employees was the same, amazing massages, very nice and thoughtful, beautiful location! I'm really excited to try a float and massage in the future! read more

I don't do Facebook or Yelp unless I have something extra important to share, and I do this time! I've discovered Still Life massage from Bridgette this year and for good reason: skilled, attentive, thoughtful, warm and friendly massage therapist with an extremely effective talent. For the first time in 80 years I am now a "regular!" read more

I've been eyeing Still Life Massage & Float since arriving to Bellingham three years ago. I finally made it! Float therapy was an intriguing idea; always interested in having new experiences. I booked a session for myself and my boyfriend as a way to say good riddance to 2020. Online scheduling was easy and straight forward. I received good communication regarding infection control and the float process. The facility is clean and attractive, the staff friendly, and infection control enforced. Masks are required, provided if you should forget. In regards to the actual float therapy session...not my "thing". I have a difficult time relaxing, became a little disoriented, and then felt slightly nauseous. I spent a portion of my session seated upright in the pod for fear that I may vomit. :/ My boyfriend enjoyed the experience, felt that it was "weird" but relaxing. He tells me that he'd definitely bring out of town guests to experience float therapy. My experience is NOT a reflection of the business or service. Still Life is great. I'll be back on another day for a massage. Tip: If you're overly sensitive to motion and/or claustrophobic, maybe just stick with a massage. :) read more

Came and got a massage and float. I had a great time. It's not a scary box, it's a relaxing box I was nervous at d first but I had lots of room and it was a fun day! Highly recommend and will be back read more

I decided to try this place and the only available at the time was Spencer. I tore my rotator cuff and had surgery. I was going back to work and needed a massage... OMG... THE BEST massage!!!..and he worked out my stiffer muscles. People...I can fully move my arm without pain now! I fully recommend Spencer and this place. They know what they are doing! read more

Very professional will be going back. Aaron did a wonderful job. Office staff very accommodating also.

I wasn't sure about getting a massage during a pandemic but everyone at the office was scrupulous about safety. Both the massage therapist and I wore a mask during the massage. Everyone tried to keep 6 ft distance as much as possible. I thought everyone was very courteous and friendly. Spencer, the massage therapist, was great. He was respectful and interested in my experience. I was having some trouble breathing with my homemade mask on in the face cradle so Spencer got me a blue surgical mask and it was much better. Despite a bit of anxiety, it was such a good experience that I returned for another massage from Spencer. Parking was really easy and it's a nice place to take a walk before or after your massage. read more

I had a gift certificate for a massage at Still Life and I was excited to use it. I have been there for their floats and that also is amazing. When I called to schedule my massage they were all booked but put me on a waitlist. First of all the staff member I spoke with on the phone was friendly and very professional. They ended up calling me back and told me they had a cancellation. When I arrived the front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. My massage with Roberta was AMAZING. She encouraged me to communicate through the massage about my comfort level and it was relaxing and a great experience. I will be back again! The entire experience from scheduling to leaving was wonderful! read more

I fully enjoyed a float and massage for my birthday. Friendly staff, clean, professional, very skilled massage. Highly recommend.

Had a massage with Lauren and it was wonderful. Professional, good pressure, obviously very experienced and worked on the areas I asked for extra attention on a lot. Feel a lot better after the massage. Staff are really friendly. Clean, good covid protocols set up. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Coming back to heap more praise on to Still Life. Massage is helping me feel grounded and "in my body" at a time when it's really easy to dissociate. Roberta listens to all of my self-diagnosed problem areas and takes special care to pay attention to them during our sessions. It's lovely to keep coming back to the same therapist over and over again. I continue to feel safe and taken care of here, even in the midst of the pandemic. read more

Aaron is SO AMAZING. He has just the right amount of pressure and really listens to your body. I wish I never had to leave the massage once that hour is over! Thank you so much Aaron for being so great at your job! read more

This place is heaven. I cannot wait to try the massage next time. The staff is very friendly and the place is super clean. Trying the float was a fun experience and they explain everything before you start. I left feeling very relaxed. I recommend Still Life because of my great visit and the beautiful views of the water and boats at the end. The prices are fair for what you get. read more

Still Life Massage & Float - Massage Therapy Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We discovered Still Life a few months back. My wife had IT band troubles right before one of our marathons and she could hardly walk. We called around and Adriana had an opening that afternoon. After her massage she was able to walk without pain and even finished the race without any issues. So... Now we both get massages at Still Life and we live their experience and strong hands. But, since they moved into the new space and added float chambers, I have been in heaven, after a couple of floats I have to say they are amazing. I feel at such ease after each float and my skin is amazingly soft. Next time I'm going to try a massage after a float. I'll bet I'll be on cloud nine . I would recommend Still Life to anyone looking for a good massage or a relaxing hour away from everything inside a float chamber. read more

Still Life Massage & Float - Post float. Relaxed and ready to start the day! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I had a wonderful experience with Aaron on my first visit to Still Life. I was fortunate to get his last appointment of the day. We stayed at the Bellwether Hotel so I was able to walk a few minutes to get there. The location does not disappoint as so many beautiful boats in the Marina. Thank you Aaron and staff for a very relaxing massage. Just what I needed. read more

We could not have chosen a better place for our first float experience. The two of us were nervous and did not know what to expect. We arrived early for our appointment and watched an overview video, which took about 5 minutes. It showed you exactly what would happen and what to do. It was very helpful and decreased our nervousness a little. After we signed the waivers, a kind, easy going woman showed us the rooms and asked us if we had any further questions. Then she just left us to it! The rooms and float pods are immaculate. In the shower, there is body wash in a dispenser and shampoo. They also provide you with towels, ear plugs, and make up removing wipes to prep for the float. Again, the video gives you the whole process so you know exactly what to do and what to expect. They make it incredibly easy, but the beauty of it mainly being in how unintrusive it is. You are not waiting on anyone and you can do it all at your own pace. One of the biggest decisions that I would advise on is the decision to wear bathing suits or not while we floated. Although we had serious apprehensions about it, we did not wear one. A friend had strongly recommended you wear nothing and she was definitely right. It definitely would have been distracting. It took me a good 20 minutes to get acclimated and get over my first time anxieties and worries. After that, it was just amazing. Float therapy had never really been on my list of things to do and I was a little skeptical, but I am fully converted now. My self care indulgence is usually a massage every few months. The benefits and the feeling I got after 60 minutes of floating surpasses every massage I have ever gotten (which, in fairness, is maybe 5). The rest of the night, we both felt so amazing and just could not stop talking about it. Your skin glows, you feel so relaxed, and it even made our hair amazing! We both agreed that 60 minutes is a good amount of time for your first time. In the beginning it seemed to go slow because I needed time for my brain to turn off, but after I felt fully at ease the rest of the hour flew by. You are all by yourself and you know that your time is up when the nice relaxing music comes on in the pod. Then you get out, shower, and get dressed. I felt so relaxed and part of it was not having someone knocking on the door or trying to rush you out. There is a spacious bathroom at the end of the hallway with a hair dryer if you need to get dressed and ready for the next part of your day. They encourage you to sit in the chairs by the window looking out on the water to reflect. An all out amazing experience that I highly recommend giving a try! read more

Only done 2 floats so far and I'm hooked! Amazing for stress, anxiety and pain and just a good way to relax and reset. I feel amazing after and bonus, so does my skin! Super friendly staff also! Highly recommend this place read more

I don't even know where to begin describing how amazing an experience floating at Still Life was. I am three months post partum and I wish I had known about floating sooner because in one short hour, all of the stress from being a new mother just melted away. I took an evening float, which was so nice, I was able to let my husband put the baby to bed while I was floating then come home to have the most restful sleep I've had in a very long time. One interesting side effect that I was not anticipating, is that my milk production has increased dramatically!! If you are a new mother having issues with milk production, take a float!!!!!!! My skin feels amazing, my hair is so shiny! I am a new woman. The facility itself is very nice, very clean, the pods are really inviting, cool and futuristic...looking at other float places whose pods are sorta intimidating and industrial, theirs are a cut above. The rooms are super comfy and nice, spa like, and heated to the perfect temperature. The staff was super friendly and spoke to us like we had been friends forever, both women that we interacted with were just amazing. I have nothing but praise to speak of Still Life, and floating itself. If I could give a 10 star review I would. read more

Been going to Still Life for the last few years. Haven't had too many massages, but I am always pleased by them. They are not sketch at all, 100% professional and super friendly. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

OMG! I have never had a massage before professionally done in my life and boy was I in for a treat. Nowadays it seems like basic customer service is dwindling and that is clearly not taking place here. At the front desk I was greeted by a very friendly young lady that had me fill out medical information just so they can have an idea of what type of patients are working with which I completely understand and respect it. My masseuse what's Aaron he is phenomenal he did a great job I was beyond satisfied and now I'm going back with my partner and we're both going to get hour-and-a-half massages I just signed up for an hour cuz I just wanted to try it out for the first time but now that I know they are off the charts Stellar I am going back probably at least once a month just to get out the Kinks You Know anyway had a blast I recommend this place to a very one go check them out it'll be worth it! :) read more
