I met Altranise through local moms when she donated her chair massage services to a wonderful…read morefundraiser for a family in need. That defines Altranise--giving. When she started Anise Moon in Latham, I couldn't wait to book an appointment, but my mom was visiting and I wanted to treat her first. She had a great experience, but I'll let her share her own story. Months later I was finally home and in a place where I could take a little time for pampering. Altranise was easy to book with and very nice when I got there. My only complaint is that the location is a little hard to find (it's super easy to drive to, but the address wasn't visible), but while I was there, the landlord was installing a sign for The Wellness Cottage now that all of the rooms are filled. Voila--fixed! Altranise made me feel very comfortable and I could tell she was genuinely interested in my past and current health to inform her work. The room was really comfortable and my 90 minute massage was heaven. She knew the exact areas I needed more attention on and I felt like she had the perfect amount of pressure. I only wanted a normal Swedish massage--I'm wimpy and can't handle deep tissue, but I know she would be great working however her client needed help, she really listens. I will definitely go back and my company is talking to Anise Moon about hiring her to do chair massage for the team at the office!

Eventually I just started walking away. Whole thing was sketchy and I feel I dodged a huge bullet. Being in a locked basement alone with someone I feel unsafe with - NO THANKS.

It is located in the basement of a apartment building it is super hot and does not smell very good and honestly I was scared I would catch hepatitis if I was to sit down anywhere. The door was locked and I had to ring the door bell the woman that let me in barely spoke any English. When she went into the other room i left....it was definitely scary there. Just updating that even though the woman told me that my credit card did not go through because it was out of paper etc. and that she was not going to charge my card the payment still went through and there is nothing I can do about it the woman is obviously a scam artist and I am so glad I got out of there when I did I guess $63 is a small price to pay for not catching hepatitis.

I asked if they could just add me onto the schedule since I was planning to patronize this business for a majority of the day, but they said they have no space and all I can do is just cancel the salt room experience. This was a terrible customer service experience, especially given that it was last minute and for a specific special occasion. I will never try to book anything here again, and I suggest that you avoid this place as well. UPDATE: they apparently still charged my account the full price of the services that I requested, despite saying that nothing went through. Despite saying that I only left the card in file, but they would never charge me before the services were rendered...stay far away from this place. Unable to provide the services, but they also don't want to give me my money back. They're trying to scam me out of my money. I am disputing these charges.

The masseuse: -did not have her fill out a waiver -made her take out cash from an ATM right on premises- would not accept credit card -burped twice over her face -hawked 2 lugees into the sink during the massage -completely pulled her towel off of her body at least three times during the session -rubbed oil on her and moved it around for an hour (clearly not trained in massage therapy) -straddled her head for part of the "massage" (while she was facing down) -bent her legs up backwards, pulled her hair, twisted her legs, pinched her Achilles tendons, pounded on her back so hard that it hurt -came back into the room while my friend was dressing and asked for a $20 tip -let someone else enter the room during the massage
