OK, REWIND! Unwind Wellness has won me and my partner over…read more We really haven't stopped daydreaming about our experience ever since and are looking forward to our next spa date. We had such a pleasant encounter with the receptionist, Nicole, from the moment we walked in and were placed with 2 masseuses who were top-tier and gifted with the art of touch. Our couples massage was beyond rejuvenating and serene for each of us and we were truly able to decompress (and leave a lot of muscle knots behind on the table)! We both left feeling SO much lighter, connected within our bodies and to each other, and grateful we accepted the offer to give Unwind another chance. I am so impressed with the level of intention and care that the owner, Antonio, has displayed in making sure that we were in the absolute best hands the second time around. He was very apologetic that we had an off day on our first visit and really turned things a total 180. It's evident that he is passionate about his business, is extremely detail-oriented (the decor is GORGEOUS!), and has strived to exceed the 5-star reputation his establishment deserves. In a world where self-care tends to be an afterthought or a treat, I'm feeling inspired to carve out time to visit Unwind Wellness on a regular basis. I'm so glad I found the right match (and might have to gatekeep my masseuse's name because she is THAT good)!

May 2024 My first…read moreappointment, massage at Massage Escape Spa. For relevance, I have had approximate 40-60 massages in numerous places/businesses. Today was a 90 minute Sport massage. I arrived a little early and was escorted upstairs to an appropriate private room. The massous was an Asian female. She was very pleasant and we managed with her lack of English. This was a straight-forward no pre-interview type of situation which was fine since I had no need to relate any medical or other historical information. The massage was very good quality and covered all the areas required for an athletic type body and body areas. There was some minor stretching done and it was apparent the massous was capable and knowledgeable of appropriate pressures and anatomy. I was very pleased with quality and price. I will return. End.

While I only just had my first-ever massage with Valerie at Healing Touch (in Northwest DC), it is definitely not my last. I've had a lot - and I mean a lot - of massages in my life and literally in different cities, states and even countries. And I've had a lot of back pain to boot (so bad it required surgery at one point). I walked out of Valerie's massage studio feeling like a very relaxed, flexible, happy rag doll. She is amazing. She has some different options for massages and I needed some deep tissue work. Never have I had just one massage from someone and felt this much better! Imagine what she can accomplish in regular sessions!

I booked the appointment online and put down the necessary deposit. They were running a special for the month of January- 10% off during weekdays and it included aromatherapy. The 10% off did not automatically apply and I'm pretty sure I didn't get the discount. Parking- street parking if available. We lucked up and got a spot right in front of the spa. No paying a meter was required. My massage therapist was Mike and my husband's massage therapist was Kimberly. The couple's room was tight so I could feel, see and hear every time my husband's therapist talked to him or when she moved. My husband felt that Kimberly just couldn't get the pressure right even though she asked. He also felt like she took a break after every touch so there was awkwardly long waiting periods. He said her touch was often too soft even though he told her the pressure wasn't enough. She was pleasant; notwithstanding, she just wasn't the right therapist for him. Mike also asked me once about the pressure and at the time, it was okay. As the massage went on, it became uncomfortable. In all fairness, I should've spoken up. The elbow and forearm down the back and around the shoulders was the most painful. We got the massages on Monday morning and I'm still in pain on Wednesday. This is the first time I've asked for a male massage therapist and boy could I tell the difference. The pressure alone was intense. The best part was the scalp rub and the lavender scent (although there was something mid-massage that smelled like mildew). When asked what areas of focus before starting, I mentioned that I wanted my mid-back and arms focused on because I have carpal tunnel. Those areas weren't paid any special attention--they were simply apart of the regularly scheduled program - upper left, then upper right, then lower left, the lower right, then flip and repeat and end with scalp. This was the process for both my husband and I though he was flipped front a lot sooner than I was. Overall, I wouldn't mind returning if I'm in the area and trying another therapist.

To me, it didn't feel super technical - more so like a lymphatic drainage. It wasn't bad, just not what I was looking for. A lot of oil was used. The service was great, but unfortunately when we arrived at our appointment time they asked us to come back in one hour because they didn't have enough staff for 3 massages. My masseuse also took a call during the massage. I will gladly support a small business, but for what they are charging i think it should have been better.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the service & communication between ourselves and the staff. The staff was out at lunch when we arrived so we had to wait - which was okay. The staff member instructed me into the room for the full body massage, I prepared for the massage and laid on the bed for a few minutes. The staff member came into the room loudly talking on the phone and after a few minutes told me to get dressed and that we would start with the foot massage portion. Unfortunately, this didn't make for a very relaxing experience! The massages were fine - the pressure was a bit strong for my preferences. I wish this was a more relaxing experience! The prices were reasonable.
