There's a lot of love and thoughtfulness put into her place. It's like she wants you to step into another dimension and make you forget anything in that toxic outside world! She's always very inquisitive about what I need... and she's got it! She's worked out my knots when I needed them, she's been very caring about me when I've had a heart issue going on and used certain aromatherapy for protection , and just my last one I wanted to use this massage as a more spiritual place for my mind... and she did that! (Of course massage is very spiritual relaxing to a meditative state) I definitely recommend hot stones and aromatherapy... it just ups the experience!!!! I can't say enough good things! I love Hands of Essence!

Used Yelp to look for a massage therapist while in NOLA and after getting no response from another…read morecompany I reached out to Handsome of Essence. Renata answered and was very professional and accommodating. I explained that I needed two massges the very next day on a Saturday and despite a full schedule she fit me in! I was so surprised when I walked in ...the atmosphere was very pleasing and Zen . We were offered drinks while filling out the paperwork. Renata and Philip were very thorough in making sure our needs were met! Renata even let us choose our own Music. We opted for a aromatherapy massages for relaxation and each massage amazing! They were attentive and 'very' thorough...the technique used was very professional and pleasant (especially b'c I tend to bruise easily) yet a day later no bruises! I recommend it to anyone looking for a Great Massage in NOLA. I will definitely be back. Thanks Renata!

Watch out! These people are scam artists! I was walking by and the guy at the door asked if I…read morewanted a foot massage. After looking at the menu, I picked the 60 minute foot massage for $60. I confirmed with the guy that that's what I wanted. He led me to a massage chair where a male masseuse was waiting. He began working on my neck and shoulders (my foot massage place at home always begins with the next and shoulders then move down the arms and then to the feet) so I thought this was part of the massage. Mid-way through a girl sat down and began working on my feet while the guy continued on my shoulders. I wondered why they had two people working on me but thought maybe they just wanted to get people through faster. But at checkout, the lady at the counter charged me $96!! I said no the sign said $60 for a one hour foot massage. She told me that I received a neck and shoulder massage for an additional $36. I said that is NOT what I asked for and I thought that was part of the foot massage. She kept insisting it was $96 for my service. After a huge argument with her, I paid her what I asked for - $60 for a one hour foot massage - and left. So beware! They will get you in for one service but try to sneak in something you didn't ask for and then charge you for it! It's a total racket!!

The man who gave me the chair massage had strong hands that had me totally relaxed in 10 minutes. He worked me from my neck to my waist. The spinal work was amazing and he worked muscles I didn't know existed! Towards the end he asked me "10 more minutes for $10 more dollars?" HELL YES!!! Best $$$ I ever spent. I left there feeling like a new man. I was more flexible and stood taller and straighter due to his work on my back. Next visit to NOLA... I'm treating myself, multiple times... 5 Stars!!

Not realizing how knotted up my body was when I came in, Renata was able to massage me, relax me, then educate me regarding my body & the stress I was carrying. I came in for a relaxing massage, but instead I got a massage & very helpful information regarding my body!!!! Talk about a bonanza!!! Additionally, Renata further aided in my relaxation process by providing the level of modesty (regarding my body) that made me comfortable. Not many times does a therapist that takes the time to inquire about your comfort level; whether your 1st or 100th time, this can be an issue. My hot stone massage wasn't long enough, as I didn't want her to stop. From the top to the bottom, there wasn't area that was untouched by her. She made sure all my muscles received a fair amount of stimulation and "unkinking"; as I was truly full of knots. I found the pricing to be fair & in-line with the cost of similar services at other locations. I am super ecstatic about Hands Of Essence & this will now be my go-to-massage salon.

Finding the location was a little tricky, since our GPS got us stuck in the library's parking lot. Don't go that way if your GPS tells you!
