She was visibly upset and I was taken aback by this reaction. I usually tip 15% to 20% but this time she cut five minutes off the session and did not help me put my socks and shoes back on, which she usually did. I am a disabled veteran and bending is sometimes difficult for me. As a result, I will not be going here any more. I have two other places I can go to and never get an angry reaction like that because of a tip. Perhaps Helen did not understand that a tip is always optional and not required. Perhaps her supervisor will teach her that so that Evergreen Tree doesn't lose any more clients.

The massage was merely mediocre at best. 1. I made the…read moreappointment online the day before. When I arrived 5 min before my appointed time, the person who met me at the door had no idea I had an appointment. She had to call someone to verify. That can be forgiven as simple oversite. 2. During the entire massage, people kept coming in and she had to go help them. Again, this is fine except she left the door open. 3. Most of the foot massage was just vigorous rubbing. There was no reflexology, no pointed work on different parts of my feet or leg muscles. The best part of the massage was the 5 min at the beginning and at the end when she simply put her body weight on me to stretch or relieve pressure. 4. At the end when I paid, she insisted I give a 20% tip because she "took great care" in my massage. I work in the service industry. You NEVER demand a tip. How ridiculous!! She was lucky I gave the tip I did based on the service I received. I will NEVER go back here again and would never recommend this place to anyone.

Recently started going for Thai massage after an injury. I didn't know what I was in for, but was…read morereferred for Thai massage almost as an alternative to physical therapy. Turns out, Thai massage is like guided yoga or guided stretching - just the ticket for one who, because of an injury, hasn't been able to be up and about with any regularity. Jen is a great massage therapist. She's kind, and surprisingly strong. She has excellent intuition re: what will work and what won't, and is mindful about (and remembers from one session to the next) specific sensitivities or painful areas. I'm also a larger gal, and so the guided stretching part must be, for her, a true work out. She's always patient though, and has put me at ease. She also uses some more typical massage techniques on my legs/feet, arms/hands, and does some interesting and feels-great acupressure-type modalities, too. I'm feeling really good - less stressed, more agile and flexible, and my injury is healing nicely, too. I attribute this "on the mend" feeling in large part to Jen's work. Highly recommended!

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.

If I could give one star, I would. The massage I initially received was great, but after Danielle…read morecancelled an early AM appointment with less than 2 hours notice via email, things became really messy. I work with families and children intimately and I understand cancellations happen, and people become sick, but to cancel an AM appointment with under two hours notice without a call was not a great way to handle the situation. I was already getting ready and on my way to the appointment. Upon arriving I sat there thinking she was possibly late, then I called the number on the door because I figured that was the best option to figure out if the appointment still stood or not which. Then after back and forth email with Danielle she was upset that I had called the number on the door because it was for someone else. How was a client to know that? I waited for 40 minutes and left. When I arrived home I had seen on my desktop the reason I didn't get her email was because It was sent from her personal email instead of her business email which was the one email we had ever used prior. We sent some Emails back and fourth and because I had expressed how inconvenient it was for me she decided she didn't want to see me for my other appointment or reschedule. I had told her many times I understand these things happen and hope she will feel better and was kind, I just wanted her to know that a call for a two hour or less cancellation would be more ideal since clients are likely to be up and already getting ready to leave their homes. She then basically replies she doesn't want to see me as a client anymore while also being smart saying "in the age of smartphones" her email with 1.5 hours notice was appropriate. Especially when people are likely already on their way. Since I had bought 2 massages via Groupon I had asked if she would then work with me to help get a refund, she agreed and even wrote me an email saying she contacted them, and they would be reaching out to me within the day via phone. (Side note she also said she didn't want to see me because she only makes 17 dollars from her groupons, which i though was wildly inappropriate to tell a client.) When I didn't hear anything from them and emailed her back stating all I saw was that my account was flagged and had not received a call, her reply was so rude calling me challenged and whiny. I really don't know how someone would work in this industry and be so rude and able to personally jab at clients but I was completely taken aback by her unprofessionalism through-and-through. I would not recommend her place of business, as when things come up she cannot handle them appropriately, timely, or professionally and will attack you for it.

If you are struggling with recovery times or feel like you need some stress or trauma released from your body, look no further. She is one of the more conscious people I have met and is very experienced at what she does. Come ready to laugh, cry, and think about life if you choose to do so. A real professional!!
