I've never had a massage before but after being told I need one by my chiropractor, I looked around…read moreand found this place! Not going to lie, the outside is a bit weird as you have to ring a doorbell and then walk up some steps. BUT...once inside, it is a little heavily oasis full of all the aromas and vibes of a calm-me-down. My massage therapist brought me back and I told him why I was there and that I hadn't had a massage before. I also disclosed I really don't like being touched and am nervous about this. He was respectful and kind and honored my privacy as I got ready. Then he applied the perfect amount of pressure to exactly the right places to ease my back tension, asking throughout if it was okay and not too painful. Overall, this might have been my first, but it def won't be my last massage! Highly recommend this place!

From the moment she greeted me in the reception area, I knew I was in for a wonderful experience. Alexis gave me the choice of whether I wanted her to educate me throughout the facial or share everything at the end, which I truly appreciated. Not only was the facial itself divine, but it also came with a starter kit, empowering me to continue the regimen at home. Alexis is kind, warm, and incredibly welcoming--exactly what you hope for in a self-care experience. I left feeling refreshed, informed, and cared for. She's everything you'd want in an esthetician and more!

Chris coordinated all of my reservations and handled every detail seamlessly. They truly did not miss a beat. From the beautifully curated setup to the thoughtful touches--balloons, champagne, mimosas, strawberry lemonade, sparkling water, tea, and an incredible spread of light bites (charcuterie, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and strawberry shortcake)--everything was executed flawlessly. The experience felt incredibly exclusive, almost like I had the entire spa to myself and my guests. Antonio, the owner, greeted us personally and ensured we received white glove treatment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I genuinely felt like a queen celebrating such a special milestone. When I walked into the lounge and saw the setup, I was overwhelmed--in the best way. I actually cried. The robes, slippers, added seating, and overall décor were stunning. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. My massage with Brenda was phenomenal. She worked out tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and her nurturing, calming energy made the experience even more special. I left feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely restored. I'll absolutely be booking with her again--and I'm already planning to return for a facial with Ruby. If you've ever considered celebrating your birthday--or any special occasion--this way, run, don't walk to Unwind Wellness. I would rate this experience a 1000 out of 10. You will be cared for, celebrated, and treated exceptionally well.

Soothe & Bodyworks was my place of choice today for a little treat-yourself moment, and I have to…read moresay I was thoroughly pleased. I'm not sure how long this place has been in Eastern Market, but we love a spot that isn't too far away. First off, the place itself is really cute and welcoming. They have tea and what looked like a Keurig setup where you can make yourself something, plus water available when you're finished. More importantly, everything was CLEAN. The rooms smelled clean, the materials and linens looked clean, and the surrounding spaces were well kept. That's important to me, especially when you're getting a service like a massage. I mainly came in to alleviate some gym soreness and, of course, the general tension of adulthood. Li was my massage therapist, and I didn't know what to expect, but there was a lot about her technique that stood out. First, the work she did around my ankles. I get massages pretty regularly and genuinely don't remember anyone successfully focusing on that area the way she did. I didn't even realize how much tension I had there until she started working it out. Second, the glutes! The attention, pressure, and techniques she used on my glute muscles were everything. I've never had someone spend that much intentional time working those muscles and releasing that much tension. That alone had me feeling noticeably better afterward. Third was the stretching. I mentioned having a lot of tightness in my hips, and Li understood the assignment. Hip stretches, arms, neck, back, all of it. She pushed me in a good way and had me feeling much more limber by the end. She also found the knots around my scapula and gave my lower back the attention it needed. As someone who gets massages often enough to compare techniques, I could tell there was experience and knowledge behind what she was doing. I booked the 90 minute massage and added magnesium, which was a perfect addition. Those 90 minutes FLEW by. I also loved that the stretching wasn't just a quick add on. It was really incorporated into the massage, which makes the "Bodyworks" part of the name make perfect sense. I like firm pressure, and Li kept that pressure consistent throughout the entire massage. That matters! The only thing I would've added was more attention to the fingers and toes, especially pressure point work, stretching, and gently pulling each digit. Those areas can hold more tension than you realize-I love pressure point work and stretching in those areas, so having each finger and toe worked, stretched, or gently pulled would have been the icing on the cake. I actually found myself wanting to crack and stretch them afterward. Aside from that, this massage did exactly what I came for. I wanted to leave feeling stretched out, less tense, and more mobile, and mission accomplished. They're also looking to get more exposure right now, so check online or call the shop and ask about their current promotions because there are definitely deals to be found. Parking wasn't too crazy either. I went on a Wednesday afternoon and found parking without much trouble. Eastern Market can vary depending on the day and time, but it was pretty easy for me. I definitely recommend Soothe & Bodyworks, and Li, you did your thing. I will absolutely be back. A bonus that it's black owned and woman owned yes!

The session was incredibly relaxing, well-structured, and focused on real results rather than just going through the motions.

Everything felt clean, calm, and thoughtfully prepared, which made it easy to fully relax. The approach was professional, respectful, and clearly based on real knowledge and skill. This is the kind of experience that makes you realize how much quality matters. I didn't hesitate to schedule another session and will absolutely be returning regularly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine relief and toptier service.

But a few years back, a chocolate tone, kind of short woman who worked at the front desk and was the masseuse, was a complete nightmare to clients. She was rude, manipulative and unhinged. I had two sessions with her. The first session with her was mediocre. The second session reception said she was the only one available so I took a chance because I needed it fast. I still remember how while giving the massage she tried to trauma dump on me about her walking into her apartment to see that someone unalived themselves in it. Wtf?! Why are you telling me this while you are massaging me? Why are you talking to me? It's completely inconsiderate and inappropriate. And if you are a kind person it's hard to hear someone went through that and not have empathy- But I'm paying for this time and you are ABUSING IT!! I didn't want this woman touching me anymore she was just a soul sucking, destructive, bleeding spirit that needed personal help and to find another profession so that her toxicity wouldn't spread further. I remember calling to make an appointment for someone else for the 3rd session. I had no qualms about politely but directly saying that I did not want her again. Then she pretended to be someone else and said that she was the only person available for the time time slot. I just said never mind. She kept intercepting the calls for some time and it was impossible to get anyone else to talk to. I wish I didn't buy the package. This was years ago. It seemed like they were ok with this nightmare of a soul working there in a space of healing for so long. I lost money on this and it's been years and I still have triggers of thinking about how terrible the service and the masseuse was. I HOPE they got rid of this person because I'm sure she single handily ruined significant income and clientele for this business. I haven't been back because her energy was so bad it ruined everything. I think she even pretended to be the owner in writing- it just wasn't worth the time to figure it out. it says a lot for a business to have someone so horrible like that around and they not see it. Rebuke!
