It smelled sensational: there were diffusers in two corners of the room, the lighting was dim and scented candles were lit. I really enjoyed my massage with Julie the owner of the studio. She was friendly, informative and welcoming. She asked me questions about myself and gave me an opportunity to ask her questions too, prior to the massage. A foot treatment was part of the package, which I had first. It was warm foot soak with a wonderfully scented bath bomb, foot scrub and foot massage afterwards. Then I had a full body massage for 90 minutes-90 of the most blissful minutes I can remember ever having during a massage. The massage bed had a warming element to it, zen music was playing...It.

Therapist: I don't remember his name but he claims to "know everyone" in the myofascial release massage community, was trained by some MFR guru, etc. I am always skeptical of people who have to roll out their resume, complete with name dropping, before starting the massage. When it comes to massage, your credentials apparently do not sync up with your actual skills on the table. Experience: lackluster rub down that was overshadowed with constant interrogation about my professional background. I apparently knew too much medical terminology and anatomy and this upset him. It upset him enough that he wouldn't shut up or stop trying to pry personal information from me during the massage instead of focusing on my chief complaints. For someone with ALL the education he said he had, I expected better skills and manners. It was an expensive disappointment. Miscellaneous: it's a tiny townhouse converted over to be a "studio" so you can hear everything. Including this character talking trash about me to the receptionist downstairs after the massage like a middle school adolescent. The fact that I didn't curse him out for being such a rotten massage AND trashing me to a stranger (to me) still amazes me. Recommendation: see someone else if you want myofascial release, or a male therapist. I don't know how the girls skills are but if he is the kind of male therapist they feel comfortable working with, I am sure their skills are on par with his. It's Delaware and it seems to have a huge problem with poorly trained and barely skilled massage therapists. If you just want a relaxation massage, then you wouldn't notice the things I do so ignore my reviews, they won't change anything for you.

I wanted a combo massage and reflexology but I also wanted to see if their prices in person were different than those listed online...they had. As soon as I walked in, one lady poked her head out of a massage room to say, "we're busy." I asked if I could book an appointment. Another lady poked her head out of another massage room to say, "come back at 5." So two massages were interrupted because there is no front desk attendant. Not good but I came back at 5 as requested. Mind you, a snow/ice storm had just begun. The same woman poked her head out, once again, as soon as she heard the door open to exclaim, "we're busy." Enough said!! I pray they stay busy but I won't be adding to the clientele. On to the next.

She even provided me with some tips and stretches to do between sessions. Hands down, this was one of the best massages I have ever received! I am so happy to have found my new go-to place.

I also have had numerous surgeries after a dissolute life with HS and college athletics and, to be frank, I was hurting. After an hour, I left feeling drained and a bit like one of what I call "puddle" puppies who look so relaxed as to have been poured into a melting heap. I was fixing my thoughts on a nap before dinner. After awaking, I felt that familiar warmth and relaxation that one frequently gets from a good massage, in the hands of a practiced professional. The facility was inviting and clean and the whole experience was very rewarding and satisfying. I would rate the overall experience as being one of the top five massages that I have received in about six different countries. I would grade the experience with a B+/A- and it was very well worth the cost which, in this case, involved a Groupon.

She was warm and pleasant, but quiet the whole time. I've sometimes add massage therapists who kept engaging me in conversation when I wanted to zone out and enjoy the massage. I am asthmatic, so strong or overpowering aromas bother me. Here, it was pleasant and consistent. They should probably offer water upon completion, as it's important to hydrate after because massage releases toxins from your muscles/ tissue. Price worth the service. Highly recommend.
