While visiting Alexandria, I spent time searching online through a dozen local massage businesses…read morebefore deciding on Emerald Massage Center at 3335 Duke Street. I was specifically looking for skilled Licensed Massage Therapists, and their setup looked promising. I booked a 75-minute therapeutic session with Tatiana and it was far beyond "good." It was easily one of the best and most effective massages I've ever had! As someone who is knowledgeable about proper technique and tends to be quite critical, I was thoroughly impressed. Tatiana is simply amazing, and my only regret was not booking a full two hours! Tip for first-timers: The building is set back from Duke Street and isn't directly visible from the road, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find it. It is well worth checking out, and I will definitely be booking a 2-hour session with Tatiana on my next visit.

I am still not sure if they refunded my deposit. They make it so complicated that I am not sure if I want to book again. This is not because of the providers, but because of the deposit policy. I won't refer my friends or acquaintances. Their practitioners are good, billing is not so.

I've never had a Thai massage before, and I'm totally blown away. Combination of hitting deep pressure points and assisted stretching really hit all my tight problem areas and my stiffness/flexibility issues. The assisted stretching is much more effective than the stretching I do by myself. They provide a loose top and bottom to wear, that allows for movement during the stretching as well as the minimal application of oil. Absolutely amazing experience. Feel revitalized and grateful to be alive. Thank you, Yuma! You're a blessing on this earth.

As someone who suffers from chronic neck pain, I really need someone who can get in the muscle deep. So when I say I need a deep tissue massage, I mean I need DEEP. Most of the time, I have to direct my masseuse what to focus on and what I need in terms of pressure and most of the time they listen. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I was paired up with a female masseuse who was sweet enough in manner but didn't seem to speak much English so when I asked her to only focus on my neck or when I kept asking for deeper pressure, she was respond in agreement but then would proceed to continue doing what I asked her not to do. I specifically asked her to only focus on my upper back/neck area and not to do my whole body. She did work on my upper area but then proceeded to do the rest of my body when I asked her not to. I know they are trained to do full body massages but the purpose of getting a massage for a lot folks is to get some relief from pain or tight muscles with specific attention to problem areas. If I'm going to pay an inordinate amount of money for an hour massage, I'd rather not have it wasted on parts of my body I don't need worked on. Needless to say, I realized I can't get what I really need here, so while I appreciated the good service overall, I will continue my journey for a great masseuse elsewhere.

However, I had not treated myself to a massage in a very long time. Needless to say, it has been long overdue. After Kristin got working on me for a few minutes it was clear she knew her stuff.

Her demeanor is chill, she is confident in her abilities and you'll feel extremely relaxed in her presence. She will work out kinks and stretch out tension. I cannot wait to go back. I instantly fell comfortable here. Such a cozy establishment. Thank you, Kristin. You're amazing.

During the session Melissa answered questions and we chatted casually throughout the entire process. I never thought I would say this, but it was a pleasant experience. I look forward to doing it again.
