    I booked a couples massage with ease on their online booking website. We arrived for a midday Thursday massage and was greeted warmly by the receptionist who escorted us to the lounges which smelled great and offered tea, water and chocolates. Our massage therapists Brenda and Naomi were fantastic. We both left feeling relaxed and recharged. If ever in the area again, we will definitely pay them a visit.

    I went in for a 1-hour massage and while getting my service done all I could think about is when is the next time I'll be here. I came in on a weekday afternoon with an appointment. It was quick and easy to check out and head to their lounge. While in there they have an assortment of tea, waters and chocolates. The florals all around the spa and the smells in the spa were divineeee. Shortly after starting to get comfy my massage therapist came to get me. Jennifer was lovely , she did exactly what I needed (not too hard). The bed was warm and comfy and I loved the ambiance over all. I'm really looking forward to my next visit.

    Unwind Wellness - Navy Yard met and exceeded all of our expectations. I worked closely with their coordinator, Anna, who was absolutely fantastic. She was always easy to reach by email, text, or phone, and her communication made everything simple and stress-free. The setup was beautiful and perfect for the bachelorette spa party I hosted. Every guest received a massage and the feedback from all the girls was incredible. Our bride had a postnatal massage as she just had a baby the month prior. Afterward, we relaxed in their private room for about an hour, enjoying champagne, light bites, and lunch. Their sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere made it feel special and intimate. The girls were so surprised how flavorful the sandwich were. Especially the jerk, chicken sandwich and the beef sandwich. The partner they work with for food, champagne, and decorations was amazing and so attentive. Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated. Overall, the entire experience was seamless, relaxing, and memorable. It was our first visit to Unwind Wellness - Navy Yard, but it will not be our last. We're already looking forward to going back for more massages and another perfect day of self-care. Five stars all around. Also special shout out to my masseuse, whose name was Francese. Her hands are magical and she stretched me and gave me an abundant amount of tips to help with my problem areas. She even gave me a tip to listen to Tibetan Healing Flute and a Thunderstorm on Ocean Waves when I'm struggling to sleep at night. Definitely recommend

    Visiting DC with my son and his sister, the plan was for facials at Silver Mirror -- Navy Yard. Well after the facials, the kids wanted massages (how sway of them!) I looked up massages in the area and came upon Unwind Wellness. Unwind Wellness was well within walking distance of Silver Mirror Facial Bar, so I made appointments for the three of us. Very surprised to see how inexpensive a thirty minute massage session was for THREE people!! Upon entrance, we were checked in, offered tea|water and led to the lounge|waiting area. My son and his sister were shown the direction of the bathrooms. The Lounge | Waiting area was a vibe in of itself, I could definitely see myself lounging there (without a massage appointment). It was very comfy and cozy. The wait for my masseuse was not very long. I was led to Room 9 by my masseuse. She allowed me to undress to my comfortableness before preceding with my massage. She asked me what type of pressure I needed and areas to focus. She immediately was able to feel the tension in my neck and shoulders and worked her magic. She massaged me deeply which I needed (the next day I was a little sore, but less tense). The room and massage was definitely relaxing and at times I felt myself zoning out. Will definitely be back for another massage, but this time BEFORE the facial!!

    Super easy to book. I was visiting DC and wanted to relax. I found this spa that was around the corner from my hotel and to my excitement they had availability same day for a facial and massage. Both services were absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be coming back here when I visit DC again!

    Prenatal massage

    I went here for the first time 7 months pregnant for a prenatal massage and it was such a great experience! I had called ahead of time prior to scheduling an online appointment to ask who would be the most experienced in prenatal massages and they recommended Naomi. She was wonderful, kind, patient, and paid close attention to details. She asked how her pressure was and if I was feeling ok every 15 minutes or so. The room was super clean, had great and relaxing spa-like sounds, and the oil was the perfect warm temperature. I ended up purchasing a package for 5 additional prenatal massages leading up to my due date because it was so great.

    I had the most luxurious experience at Unwind Navy Yard! This was my very first massage, and I chose a prenatal session as I near my due date. My mom was visiting, so we booked a couples room. She got the signature massage (which she loved) while I had the prenatal. Both were absolutely wonderful. The whole experience felt professional, relaxing, and truly spa-like, exactly what you hope for in a massage. I was nervous going in (I'm a pretty modest person), and we both had male therapists, but they made us feel completely comfortable and respected our privacy the entire time. They went above and beyond to ensure we never felt awkward, and the couples room helped me feel at ease. The receptionist was also lovely, so welcoming, accommodating, and attentive. A few tips for first-timers: - Arrive early to check in, use the restroom, and settle in so your massage time starts smoothly. - You'll be draped the whole time (start off more modestly as they will work the parts they need to as the massage goes on, but don't be afraid to ask if something needs adjusting for comfort, they're great at helping with this. - Showers are available on-site, but I was glad I showered and shaved my legs at home beforehand for my own comfort. Overall, it was a wonderful first experience and I'd highly recommend it, especially if you're considering a prenatal massage. I'm already looking forward to coming back after baby arrives!

    If I could give more than five stars, I would! From the very beginning, I worked with Ana to set up an event for a birthday and baby celebration. She was incredibly prompt and professional, providing exceptional customer service throughout. The entire process--from selecting the food to organizing and scheduling massages for 11 women--was a breeze thanks to her expertise. On the day of my event, the spa itself was simply beautiful and relaxing. I was warmly greeted by the front desk receptionist and Antonio, who is absolutely amazing. We were assigned our own massage therapist, and they were all amazing! I felt less tense and relaxed once it was over. As part of my package, I rented their lounge space, and the decorations and food presentation exceeded my expectations! Antonio went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with everything. As the mom-to-be, I was able to truly relax while he handled all the details--pouring our beverages, plating my food, and making sure we had everything we needed. It was the best spa experience I've ever had, and I definitely plan to book again! Thank you all so much! My friends enjoyed the space and the event just as much as I did, and that's entirely because of your dedication to putting customers first!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Amazing experience with Avis! First time getting the lymphatic combo massage and she was very informative and gentle. Put in extra attention to my troubled areas. Can't wait to come back! Beautiful location as well!

    Frances W.

    I was given this experience a gift and let me tell you...Antonio and his staff are top tier. He and his assistant, Simon was so attentive. My masseuse was Jayda, and she was fantastic and understood the assignment. This was such a dope experience. Will be working to make this monthly in 2026.

    Proof of our exchanges

    Spoke to Ana who checked the schedule and told me I would get a formal quote in 4 days. On day 5 she sends me a quote and 15 minutes later, while talking to her she asked me to change the date. Beyond unprofessional and don't trust your events to them! To add insult to injury, Ana provides me with another clients phone number when I asked for her Manager's number...I call and I am shocked to find out it is a purchase number. Absolutely crazy day!

Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

We were running about 10 minutes late, but we called them and let them know. When we arrived, the front desk staff barely said anything to us and just whisked us back into the massage room. They barely welcomed us, they didn't ask about any focus areas or preferences, and it seems like they were not the strongest communicators. We got a very basic massage with a mix of back, legs, and arms. It was not at all a deep tissue massage. It was not relaxing. It was not worth it. I didn't feel anything at the end; like, I might as well not have gotten a massage at all. When we were done, they whisked us to the counter to pay. Again, not very friendly or communicative. There is a sign on the counter that says there is a $5 charge for paying with credit card, but thankfully they did not charge us that. The place is very barebones, like the service. They have about 6 massage rooms. We were the only ones there, and I got the impression there was only more than one staff person there because we booked in advance. FYI They have some coupons on Groupon.

    0.5 mi•Eastern Market, Capitol Hill

    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 check-in and retail area is bright and well-curated. Kinh was the attendant and she was wonderful. I checked in and then went into the tea lounge for relaxation. Kinh then took myself and another guest to the spa area. The spa amenities are downstairs, but treatment rooms are both upstairs and downstairs. The elevator is located in the main hotel so if you need to use it, you must leave the spa. The locker room is fine. There are a few showers, plus some vanities and toiletries. There is not a swimsuit spinner and there should be one. What is really nice about this spa is the vitality pool. For amenities, they have a steam room, sauna, vitality pool, and relaxation lounge. The vitality pool is the biggest part of a spa experience for me, and many spas in this area do not offer that. The one here is sparkling clean and warm. And I went early enough that I had it to myself, which was even better. Sauna and steam room were lovely and I appreciate the eucalyptus cooling towels. The relaxation lounge is great. The snacks are not. The offerings are fresh fruit, pretzels, mixed nuts, and wasabi peas, along with spa water and two types of tea. The pretzels were stale. I recommend a snack mix, a trail mix, and maybe something sweet along with fruit and beverages. I've had much better spa snacks. I inadvertently booked a facial without extractions, which is honestly pointless. However, it was very relaxing, and I did feel myself starting to fall asleep a few times, and since I was visiting for relaxation, I didn't mind. I would never book it again though and my skin didn't look all that great after. The spa lacks the elegance and ritual that was included when it was Mandarin Oriental. I was really trying not to compare, but it's hard. Even arrival was a downgraded experience because none of the doormen assisted with exiting the car (same upon leaving). The website is atrocious and they should be embarrassed by it. Still, I'd return for a treatment that I was really looking forward and has value, with hopes that some improvements have been made.
