Dr Shi is a wizard. No, a fairy. No, a healer. Yes, definitely a healer…read more Although A Beautiful Day Spa is well known for their massage treatments, the well-kept hidden secret is Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been practicing acupuncture for decades. Dr. Shi can speak some English, but is fluent in Mandarin. As a patient who speaks some Mandarin, I'm fortunate enough to learn that Dr. Shi travels to give speeches in China and he continues to learn the arts of healing. Dr. Shi is an unorthodox acupuncturist in which his methods are not just sticking needles in your body. He asks your body to change the tendons, the muscles, the bones, the fascia, and even the skin. And yes Dr Shi talks to your body, it's so strange (I know), but he can find where the source of your pain is from and he tries to find the root cause of the pain so he can transform your body. Even if I don't tell him I have pain in a specific area, he will find out after assessing your body. As someone who suffers from multiple injuries, my chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems caused migraines, dizziness and pain with movement. I saw renowned acupuncturists twice to three times a week for three months and my symptoms never improved significantly enough to go about my daily life. I saw Dr. Shi for one month, twice a week and my headaches and dizziness improved right away. My range in motion also increased with less pain. Additionally, my stiffness and deep pain lessened. So why the magic... okay, I get it. You need a concrete example. I have a painful bump in the back of my head, it was about 2inch so not too big, but pressing on it caused migraines and shooting pain down my neck and spine. Dr. Shi placed acupuncture needles in my body, asked me to do some strange movements, and in three sessions the spot was less tender and I no longer have shooting pain down my neck and spine. This was also combined with Western medicine. It's not completely gone because he explained that healing is treatment, time, taking care of yourself, staying warm and moving correctly. I also like the way Dr. Shi inserts and takes out the needles. He prepares your body and gently inserts the needles. If it will be a painful spot, he will guide you on how to lessen the pain for that acupoint. I am excited that the acupuncture clinic will be opened soon. This way, Dr. Shi can help more people.

I was really excited for this place from all the reviews I saw, but it wasn't what we were…read moreexpecting. I had booked a 60-minute massage for my mother and requested strong pressure. The receptionist confirmed that they had someone who had the strongest therapist booked for my mom and I had nothing to worry about. However, my mother told me there was barely any pressure even when she inquired they said that strong, deep pressure would be an extra charge. Which is fine, however, it seems that they just gave her light strokes throughout. She wanted to walk out mid-session but chose to stay to see if there would be any improvement but there was none. We would not recommend this place. Update: Dustin tried offering us 30% off for us to come back.. doesn't seem like a good/decent solution to anything. We declined and still would not recommend this place.

The products are great too...I bought the candle and room spray to try to duplicate the relaxing feeling in my home. The first time I went to this location I was randomly paired up with the massage therapist, Kia, and how lucky for me that I was! She is kind, calm and pleasant. I've been requesting her ever since that first time and sing her praises to my family and friends. She really listens to what my needs are and varies up her techniques to fit those needs. Whether it's adding the gliding cupping, hot stones, or just the now massage, I look forward to relaxing and resetting during my monthly 80-min massages. I will continue investing in me and booking with Kia!

If you're a woman I'd recommend you don't come here as it is catered more to men if you know you know.

Overall it's a decent massage place clean and relaxing . $60 hour and up charge for extra services .

DO NOT COME HERE. I bought my fiancé a 90 minute massage through Groupon for our anniversary hoping…read morethis would be a nice, relaxing experience and it was quite the opposite for him. Upon arrival, he had weird vibes about the place. No one spoke English so there was no clear direction and communication. His masseuse just pointed to a room so he entered and was left for a few minutes. Again, because there was no communication, he was thinking "Do I undress or what is happening?" As the service began, the massage was extremely rough, like putting DIRECT pressure on the spine. To the point where it was very painful and not even remotely enjoyable. The craziest part to me was that my fiancé felt uncomfortable because his masseuse was only using one hand because she was using her other hand to be on her phone calling people. HUH??? How unprofessional. I was baffled to hear this. Then the last half of the massage it seemed like she was simply rubbing just to pass time and not actually massage. If you are looking for even just a HALF decent massage, do NOT come here.
