Glenn Frey once sang, "Nobody knows where you are going, nobody cares where you've been, because…read moreyou belong to the city." The image of being a point of light, in rivers of urban darkness, encourage us to think of where we belong, as his melody massages our souls. Souls, in this case, notes a return to an accurate definition of the soul of a thing; that is, identity. The soul of a city is defined by its identity. So for our identity, that which is formed from our aspirations built on experiences of the past, to find life in the urban, is profound. Will you experience such a transcendence awakening of self when you visit? Will the office staff treat you as a part of the motion, the river and channels of positive Urban life? Will your massage be soul shaping? The easiest answer would be that as much as we are able to humble ourselves to explore the questions, then we've learned to appreciate that the weight of the answer depends on our selfs. This place is a sanctuary for people who take their bodies seriously, and want them to be seriously taken care of, by skillful hands. Sarah, my favored masseuse, is a gracious host, with incredible talent. She often provides light within the moving seasons of life. This establishment is a source of light, to all of those who belong to The City. Thank you for your craft.

Massage Away is very comfortable, clean, and the staff are nice and professional. I had my massage with Zak, and he was wonderful! He listened to my requests to focus on my legs and lower back. Other places I've gone to the therapists haven't listened to that request at all. He spent a good amount of time on the knots in my calves, but also worked my arms and upper body just enough. I was very comfortable the whole time. I haven't been back yet, but my husband and I are both planning to schedule with them in the next couple of weeks. Last time I had a 60 minute massage, but their pricing is so reasonable I plan to try the 90 minute next time. If you are looking for a great massage, relaxing and therapeutic, definitely give them a try!

I recently booked a massage at GR Massage Life after receiving a gift card. Where Massage Life…read morelacks in ambiance, they make up for in their high quality massage and customer service. It's less of the polished spa-like atmosphere and more mom + pop shop around the corner. I booked online and then called over the phone to ask a question about their hours. The phone call went to voicemail but I was immediately called back by Jason (who I booked with) letting me know he just saw that I had called. I asked him a few questions and he said he could already see my reservation for the following week. The place is located in an old building off Fulton. City parking is available on the street and there is a lot behind the building. Again, it's not a sparkly place but it gets the job done. What I do love about the location is that I didn't have to drive all the way out to 28th Street. Jason was very friendly and helpful. He had me sign a few forms (took 5 mins) and then showed me to one of their two rooms. It was clean, warm and relaxing. The massage was 55 mins long and Jason an excellent therapist. He used hot stones during a portion of the massage and I greatly appreciated the heated blanket.

This was relayed to me when I went to book her a third time and had to call. They seemed to have blocked my ability to schedule online. Calling is the only method at this point. This is basically " cherry picking" the best tippers. I am a member, yet it doesn't seem to matter. You would not be refused service at a restaurant for your tip history, so nor should you at Simply Massage. It seems that maybe the help needs a wage increase as they emphasize tipping, leaving it up to the clients whom already pay $70 to $90/hour for servicing. However, it was also explained that the tip reason for rejection is supported by management, not just one therapist. I am weighing my future relationship with this company.
