The staff is great and the wellness center is always clean. I enjoy the services and products awaken wellness has.

Sauna and cold dip was very relaxing. I felt great all day afterwards. Clean, convenient location.

Such a great sanctuary to get some peace in the craziness of life. I love it here. Friendly staff and clean spaces.

Welcoming and skilled staff, carefully curated space, and great menu of services offered.

Great massage. Very interesting other services. Particularly like the water treatment

very friendly and informative staff members & awesome blossom experience! would definitely comeback!

This was one of the most painful, unrelaxing massage I have ever received. When I arrived, I was told to go upstairs and find my massage therapist. It was a little uncomfortable wandering around. I found him in a room upstairs and explained I was here for my massage. The therapist said he guessed he could work on me??? This was a strange comment, since I had mad the appointment over a month ago. I was expecting a whole body massage and instead, the massage therapist spend most of the time isolating on one point on my neck. I immediately got an ocular migraine afterwards. I was told to go home and ice my neck. It's been two days and I am still so sore. My experience in 2017 at Awaken for Wellness, was the polar opposite-relaxing, calming, and minimal pain. I was, sorely disappointed by my experience and will not likely return or recommend this business to others. read more

I was beyond impressed with the customer service at Awaken, they emotionally and physically took care of me, and created a safe space to try out new holistic healing modalities. Amazing space, attentive and compassionate staff, will absolutely be going back! read more

I cannot recommend Awaken for Wellness enough!! We discovered it a few months back and are ardent goers! Get ready for an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and HEALED!! My partner and I tried the cold plunge here for the first time, which did wonders for our exercise-sore muscles! That, combined with the infrared sauna, is exhilarating. I can't pinpoint whether it's the infrared sauna or the cold plunge that made the difference; all I know is it's a wholesome, necessary indulgence for anyone seeking to feel relaxed and energized. It's become our ultimate Sunday evening hack for starting the week on a high. Staff are always friendly; Gracie is super helpful and knowledgeable- such a gem!! read more

My 14 year old son said he felt 100 percent better after the session. She is really good at what she does. Very communicative. She fixed him up really good. This was a game changer for my son. He's thinking about the importance of Maintenance. Nikki is amazing. read more

I haven't had the chance to try out the float tanks yet, but I did experience a session in the sauna and the tub plunge, and it was great! I also had some bodywork done with Emily, and she's absolutely amazing. She really takes the time to listen and ensures you're completely comfortable before getting started. Plus, she seemed quite knowledgeable about my genetic disorder, so I'd definitely recommend her if you deal with any chronic pain. The front desk staff were super helpful and really friendly too! read more

The float tank exceeded my expectations. The only problem was that my daughter, who gave me the gift certificate, said it was for 3 sessions for $125.00. I got charged about $50.00 for the first session - so that is not going to be enough for 3 sessions. Hopefully this problem can be resolved when I come for the 2nd sessio. read more

Great sauna prices, love the retail shop, good location, and staff always friendly at each of my visits.

I loved everything about my visit. My massage therapist - Nicki Elizabeth- was excellent (I know excellent as I used to teach massage therapy at Centerpoint School and am a retired massage therapist myself) and the entire staff was super-knowledgeable and engaging. I bought a monthly membership and will be a regular at your business. read more

I live around the corner and have been meaning to come here for ages, and finally made a 60 minute massage this past weekend. I booked with Shawn, and he was AMAZING. Truly the best massage I've had! I'm 4 months postpartum and have been carrying a lot of tension and pain in my shoulders and back. Shawn was so inutitive with his work and incredibly attentive to where I needed relief. I left feeling relaxed, but more than that I felt like he actually fixed so much that has been giving me pain. Will definitely be rebooking with Shawn! read more

Really was looking forward to a massage and really wanted to like this place. The good: relatively easy to book. Shawn is extremely nice and hardworking. The bad: place is worn down, dingy sheets and massage bed smelled and had dirty stains. Hard to relax when the massage bed and room was dirty, smelled aggravates allergies because it is dusty/muggy. I could tell that they don't wash the massage table covers after use which felt a bit disgusting. I had to ask for a clean towel to cover. Despite being super nice the massage with Shawn was super painful for me. Awkward communication after repeatedly asking for lower pressure I felt bad asking over and over again because of impairments which I understand he can't do anything about. Massage left me with a headache and soreness. If you like pressure then he might be your guy. I was looking to relax and relieve stress and despite putting that on my intake the experience was not relaxing. I also didn't think the price was fare in comparison to other massage places I have been who offer better quality experience. read more

My boyfriend and I have had memberships for some time now. The infrared saunas have helped me with chronic pain & inflammation tremendously. Nothing has ever made such an impact on my body so quickly before. The staff are always warm and welcoming, the place is kept clean, and the online booking process (in my experience) is easy. read more

The St. Paul location is a modest spa, but very nicely appointed inside with several different treatments available. The staff were SO kind and helpful. I felt so welcome! read more

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The services were perfect! The sensory deprivation tank was absolutely amazing and I can't tell enough people about my experience. Loved it and already have another appointment with my wife! read more

Shawn gave me the best massage I've ever had, by far. I've never walked out of a massage feeling as much bodily change. I've always been left feeling unsatisfied- like there was an area or more that I felt could have been worked more. That was far from the case w Shawn. I'll def be back and will be scheduling w him. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my ninety minute float. The staff was friendly and explained the steps needed to prepare for the float.

As much as I'd love to be leaving a positive review right now, I am not. I was so excited to bring my partner to Awaken for Wellness for a massage and sauna experience because she has terrible migraines and I just knew this would help. Imagine my surprise when I left utterly disappointed with both the therapist (Nichole) and the lazy communication style of the receptionists on duty. My partner and I arrived 15 minutes early as this was our first time receiving a service and were happy to wait upstairs. It wasn't until 5 after 10:00 (her appointment was scheduled for 10:00 am) that I began to question myself. "Did I schedule an appointment at the wrong Awaken?", I wondered. Nope... The receptionist came up around 10:10 am to tell me she was going to check and see if Nichole was there because she hadn't seen her come in. Honestly, I don't understand why that wasn't mentioned BEFORE 10:00 am. If our therapist hadn't arrived, why not communicate that? Why let us sit there for 25min with no communication? That doesn't make sense to me. It was obvious that Nichole wasn't there when the receptionist tried to quickly slide past us back downstairs mentioning that she was going to call Nichole to see if she was on her way. When she came back to us, not only was Nichole running late, but she also wouldn't be there for another 30 min (putting us at 10:40 am) and now it feels like you're just playing with my time. With all that said, yes, I was offered free services if I was willing to come back later that day. Yes, the receptionist did try to rectify the situation after the fact. But after the vast lack of communication by the receptionist and the unprofessionalism displayed by the therapist, Nichole, I'm don't think I'll ever be interested in visiting Awaken for Wellness again. Ultimately, this experience was phenomenally disappointing! read more

It was a great experience and the woman at the desk was so knowledgeable and kind. Everyone needs to check this place out! read more

Amazing first float thanks to staff and facilities. I was greeted by Jake (?) who set the tone for the experience with a very warm and comfortable demeanor. He went through everything I needed to know and gave advice of how to have a great float and get the best out of it. Spa was very clean and well kept. There is a shower in the pod room so you have everything you need in one space. Will absolutely be retuning for a float and to try their other services. *first time float I would suggest a max of 60 minutes so can you get used to the nothingness of floating! read more

The staff was friendly and helpful and the place was very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the additional amenities in the room (suggestion: adding lotion, I find that most necessary and just assumed it would be included since I was used to having it at a different float spa. Not even an issue that it wasn't there, but it would be cool of you!) : ) I will say that comparing you to the float spa I used to go to, you guys are amazing! What a refreshing experience and one that I would expect due to the whole idea that this is about wellness: Clean, orderly, no hassle, respectful, ethical/honest business practices...which unfortunately was not the experience the many times I went to the 'other' place. Thank you for a great experience! I will be back and I will recommend. read more

Very helpful kind staff! loved the infrared sauna experience & looking forward to going back weekly!

Ulisis is the best massage therapist. nice friendly staff and clean pleasant space too read more

Simple online scheduling process, friendly front desk staff, and Ulises is an awesome massage therapist. I will definitely return here next time I'm in town. read more

I've had a lot of pain in my shoulder after surgery in the last eight months. I also had limited range of motion pain-free. Now I have more pain-free mobility in my arm. Sean did a wonderful job! read more

Pleasant and knowledge Staff, Clean, Convenient, convenient understandable App access, affordable, long hours of operation, nice mix of services/treatments and refreshments... not a corporate space/high vibes. read more

Kind and courteous staff, with clean and comforting facilities. Booked two more floats after completing my first. Definitely would recommend. read more

Just had to write how I was reminded of the recuperative abilities of an infrared session in case someone else is suffering from a slow to heal minor malady. I badly pulled my left hip flexor from too much xc skiing two weekends ago, and it was slow to heal, making it so I could only sleep in one position, and also walking with a limp for a few days. I went in and did the last infrared session (off of a three pack) and WOW! As the heat and perspiration increased, so did the relief from the dull ache that had persisted for almost a week, and kept waking me up. Though time was a factor in the healing process, I had a noticeable improvement from when I left the sauna, compared to when I entered the infrared sauna, and I was pretty much 100% the next day! Always really nice folks working the desk there too. read more

Fantastic spa with great prices (especially for new clients via the website or Groupon). I had a massage here as well as a session in the infrared sauna. The staff were all wonderful and friendly. Booking appointments online was easy. The services were wonderful and the lobby is calming/relaxing. I'll be back! read more

I found this place through Groupon awhile back, and bought a deal for five sauna sessions. I really love how the staff was professional and friendly, and also how clean this place was. Their website is amazing. It's so detailed. Booking appointments was also hassle free as you can do it online (or so I thought - keep reading). I first learned about the float spa through their website. I was always interested in booking a float session - just never got around to it. Fast forward a year later - I found a Groupon deal and thought this was my time to try. I called to try to make a rsvp for my friend and I, however, no one picked up. So a few seconds later, I got an automated text from Awaken. It asked me if I wanted to make a rsvp and that I can do it via text. So I booked us for Sunday morning via text, or so I thought. We walked in the day of our appointments and was told we weren't in the system. I was like wtf!!! I was so pumped and ready to float - we have been looking forward to this in a very long time. I showed Molly, the receptionist my texts. She was sincerely and genuinely very apologetic about the situation. I guess there was a glitch in the system at the time I supposedly booked the appointments. So the float rooms were all booked that day. I was so upset but I wasn't overreacting since Molly was so nice. She offered us to use the infrared sauna for 45 min and provided us towels and water bottles while she looked into the situation. The sauna calmed me down. Thank goodness. Overall, the situation was crappy, but it wasn't Molly's fault. In fact, she was professional and knew how to keep us calm. She was able to reschedule us for a later date, and even gave us each another free float session for later use. Excellent customer service! So for first timers, make sure you book your first appointment with someone on the line. I'm not sure I trust this automated text thing. read more

Awaken For Wellness - Room #4 Infrared Sauna - Float Spa Near Me - St. Paul, Minnesota

2021 Update: They now have a float "cabin," which is large and fantastic for those of us with a touch of claustrophobia. Infrared saunas are great as always. They no longer have the salt room I raved about in previous reviews. That's okay. I switched to floating. read more

Great atmosphere, good vibes from everyone who works there.

It has done a world of good for my emotional and physical after experiencing some recent deaths. I only wish the water was a bit warmer I was cold when I got out. Have had some revelations but what I am getting is that it is a different experience every time. I fell a sleep this time for at least a half an hour. read more

I drive two hours one way just to make it to Sanctuary for the float, infared sauna and massage!

Wonderful massage from Erin. I wish I had done my research on the sauna. I love saunas! But I need a cold shower or I just feel miserable. I haven't done the float but I assume there are showers in there to rinse off the salt water. The sweaty, hot, sticky drive home sort of ruined my lovely massage and the whole vibe. I heard Awaken has saunas and showers in Hudson so I'll try that location next, but I'm bummed because St Clair is right down the street from me. Please add a shower! read more
