We did the couples massage. We had Jody and Michael. Oh my goodness, I would book Michael 1000 times over again! My boyfriend said Jody was amazing and he would absolutely go back to her! We both felt like we were just melting away. Completely relaxed. So comfortable. Making the appointment initially was super easy too. Even the receptionist was extremely friendly and inviting. We will 100% be back again!

The perfect Gay massage. All LGBT and queer are very welcome. Full body and full frontal. Satisfying. Deepest Tissue I ever had. Wonderful and playful LIP SERVICE. Not bashful and welcoming of full release. I would have given 5 stars but slightly rough hand service at the end made me sore so I deducted one star.

We did a couples massage a few years ago and it was really good. The atmosphere was great, very relaxing and the massage therapists did a phenomenal job. We both left there feeling like we were in heaven.

This is the best place I have been too! They are all highly experienced massage therapists varying in different techniques. Even if you don't live close by the travel is worth it!

Today I had a massage with Rasheem and I could not be happier. He did a fantastic job working out all the knots in my upper and lower back. Rasheem was able to locate my problem areas the minute the message began and I walked out feeling great! I cannot recommend Rasheem enough and will definitely be seeing him again!
