My first time here and it was great. I got a 2hr massage and Anna was great. She focused on my trouble area's and I left feeling a lot better. Music was a little loud in room and a little warm but overall a great good time visit. I am returning definitely. well tried booking a third massage here and was refused service. All I could think of is because I left a bad review for my second massage. Terrible if they don't want criticism then don't ask.

I received a two-hour deep tissue/trigger point massage today with a student and it was great. I did not realize I had so many knots and sore spots until he worked them out. My neck had been hurting a lot lately and I did not realize it was from the sore areas. Thank you so much! I'm so glad these services are available.

I have been going here for atleast 5 years and today my massage therapist Rachel was outstanding! She followed everything we talked about, applied the perfect amount of pressure and worked out the soreness in my back! She was very professional and thorough! I rebooked another session with her before she graduates from the academy! I may add on a few services that I have used in the past such as the whirlpool and the Vichy shower! Awesome place! Thank you to all the students and your great work :

My massage therapist Jason did an excellent job working out the soreness of my quads and triceps. Super professional and since I was late for my appointment we only had 30 minutes, he definitely utilized them in the best way possible. The only improve here would be the receptionist, she lacks the warm genuine welcoming and seems annoyed any time a customer talks to her.
