Touch above wellness puts concerted effort into recovery and resilience; Once broken, healing comes naturally is a mantra there! You'll get it, you'll hear, you'll feel it there - a touch above and beyond wellness. They see it as and "Art", but I believe in the science of their healing approach -a touch!

Worst customer service I have ever had. I bought my mother a gift certificate for a massage. I inserted my contact information so that I could be the contact person and book the appointment. I also added my mother's phone number since she was the recipient of the gift certificate. When I reached out to book the appointment I did not hear back from them. Come to find out they texted my mother and booked a date without her confirmation.
She ended up missing her appointment since she was not aware it was created. When I found this out it was so hard to get a hold of someone. I could only speak to someone via text message and the responses were so delayed. They told me that a refund or rebooking was not possible because it was considered a "no show". Then they told me they would get someone to contact me back, but I was never contacted. I'm sure the massages are great since I read reviews before purchasing. However, I would never know since they refused to let me rebook and kept my money.

I chose this location based on the positive reviews I read about Caitlin. After a recent appointment with her I can happily add to the mountain of praise. The location was cozy and clean with a soothing atmosphere. Caitlin specifically was very kind; she greeted me warmly as if we were long-time friends, made sure I was comfortable, and put up with my rambling during the session with easy grace. She made the entire experience fun and I intend to go back!

I booked A Touch Above for a girl's weekend. They were able to accommodate our group with the short notice. All of the providers were fantastic! Our facials and massages were, hands down, the best we've ever had! The spa is clean and welcoming. I will visit again when I'm in the area!

My love and I had couples massage and they were amazing! We will definitely return when we are in town. I believe I had Nicky. Her had are magnificent she rubbed every inch of my body in a way that was so relaxing and made very comfortable. She really know what she is doing. We definitely will be doing a longer session next time. They were very professional and down to earth. We wanted a 90 min but it was kinda last minute when we found this place, and they were able to book a 60min.
We will definitely recommend this place to any couples getting a massage. You will be in same room with ur love. I say this because I called another place and inquired abt a couples massage and they said we would be in separate rooms.uuuuummmmm NOOO THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE. LOL THIS PLACE IS GO.U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
