I've never had a shiatsu massage, but this was an excellent experience…read more Anna is so very gentle and relaxing to just be around. She moves in micro movements to start the session, and then works up nicely to some yoga type stretches. There are moments where it feels like she's is "pressing buttons" inside your nervous system to provide gentle release. She knows exactly what she is doing. The time goes by quickly, but it's so worth it. Her shop is very cohesive and lovely. There's a custom mural on her wall that coordinates with the privacy wall's lovely tree with pink flowers. Enlightenment massage has only been open 7 months, please come say hi. Sadly, there was an appointment right after mine so it didn't feel appropriate to snap some photos. Next time!

This is the review I wish I had read…read more For anyone seeking care here--especially those healing from sexual trauma or past boundary violations--I hope these words offer clarity before stepping into a space you may not fully understand or consent to. The studio is a single-room space with one mattress, used for both massage sessions and the practitioner's personal living, sleeping, and intimate activities. There is no physical separation between professional and personal space. There is also no shower--only a bathroom sink used for bathing. This means clients receive bodywork on the same surface used for sleep and sex. These conditions were never disclosed to me beforehand. Had I known, I would not have consented. Later, I became aware that at least one other female client was also involved in a sexual dynamic with the practitioner. I personally witnessed an extended intimate interaction inside the studio, visible through the large storefront window. This reflects a concerning pattern of blurred lines between healing work, residential living, and intimacy. Despite the relief I experienced physically, I ultimately left in more trauma than when I arrived--due to a total lack of professional containment, boundaries, and ethical clarity. I share this not out of malice, but out of responsibility. I personally would not have consented to therapeutic care here had I known more about the environment, the interpersonal dynamics, or the practitioner's ethical practices.

I can keep going on about her since I have seen many others and no one compared to her between her professionalism and her passion to help others. She is truly a great person and healer. I highly recommend you try her services yourself.

And, alas, I did find very few massage therapy options out here; very very few. Until I came upon Ashley, I had lost all hope. And, she is a breath of fresh air. She is very attentive, she's smart and learns her clients' needs, and is one of the best MTs I've had in a long time. You will have to be diligent in scheduling, as she books up very quickly.

I've been going for massages for a few years now, and I've come across two fantastic therapists and…read moreone who was godawful. Laura with IPHM is one of the fantastic ones. I've been seeing her for weekly massages three weeks in a row now. The most important thing I look for when I'm looking to book a massage is that the therapist will listen to me. I'm not going for fluff massages, I have lumbar problems and am looking to release tight muscles... these things are painful, and I need to feel confident that my therapist will listen when I start yelping in pain and know how to handle it. Every time I've been in for a massage we've found a pain point and she responds immediately to my pain levels to correct the issue at a level I can manage. Laura is a great listener, and completely tailors your time to your needs. We always start a session by talking about where I'm feeling the most pain, and where I feel I would like her to concentrate. We do some stretch work that she's shown me (showing just how dedicated she is to making sure I am taken care of, going beyond just massage), then move into the massage. I love that she goes out of her way to explain every single thing I have a question on, and so far has brought something completely new to the table EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. That's above and beyond to me. From stretches to ideas on how I can relax at work and work on my muscles at home by myself, to using products that are all natural (and smell FANTASTIC), she's always performing at 150%. She follows up via email midweek to see how I'm doing, checking in to see when the soreness/pain is returning and where, so she can be ready with what we're going to do the next week. I have no intentions of looking elsewhere for a massage therapist. I've already made appointments for my family members. I just came home from a massage with her and it's amazing how much better I feel. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a massage!

The location is very cozy and quiet and clean. Amanda was very professional and made it very comfortable asking if I had any questions, that everything was good for me - that top quality service! The massage was great, I told her I was mostly concentrated on my back due to my line of work and she was very attentive to work out those areas thoroughly (Probably more than any other massage I've ever got.) I'm looking forward to feeling a little less tense now! Thanks Amanda and if you're looking for somewhere to treat your wellness to this is it.

None compare to the quality of service, affordability, personal touch and general dependability that Linda at Serenity Wellness offers!

Linda always takes time to greet me and make me comfortable with a caring focus on what's changed since our last visit. I consider that weekly hour with her one of my essential pregnancy-survival requirements! You'll never feel rushed or be cheated out of a precious minute of your massage. I'm also impressed with Linda's dedication to overall wellness - diet, exercise and beyond. She makes time to travel for continuing education and further investment in the practice of massage therapy. Overall, you won't find a better service in the area!

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and have been seeing Linda since I first found out I was pregnant (and prior to my pregnancy).

I am convinced that the regular massages are what's keeping me pain free and feeling great. I highly reccomend Serenity Wellness if you are looking for a therapist who is well versed and experienced in prenatal massage. I've had other massage therapists over the 6 years I've been getting massages and Linda is by far the best!

For a lack of better words, holy sh**!…read more I'm not gonna lie, when I first got to the building I was skeptical, only because it's a pretty outdated building with a bunch of suites that people & businesses rent out. But looks can be very deceiving! Opal Massage was in one of the suites (suite 101a) and definitely had the most welcoming door and exterior. I had my appointment with Gabriella, who is INCREDIBLE. I mean she's so welcoming and kind, I felt so comfortable around her quickly. It was a very straight forward check-in and appointment-setting process - I booked my appointment online and paid after the massage. Easy peasy. There's no secretary or anything like that, so everything was done by Gabriella! You get 15% off if you're a first time customer, and I paid $70 even for a therapeutic 1 hour massage. The massage itself.... Wow. I have never in my life felt my body and mind so relaxed. It was a very serene environment with low & calming music and a light essential oil going off in the room. She worked so diligently on my back, legs, arms, neck, head, and shoulders. When I tell you this was the best massage EVER, believe me. I loved the oil she used too and she made sure I was taken care of, comfortable, and tense-free. Book your next appointment here, you won't regret it!

If you see a strange building, yes..you're in the right space! I saw a lot of great reviews here…read moreand heard good things about Gabriela and I can confirm that she did an amazing job! I had a scheduled appointment at 6PM but I called her and asked if I could move it up to 5:30 and she was all on board! Which I really appreciated it. When I got to her office she was super warm and welcoming. I got a 60 minute massage and it was 60 minutes too short, she did such a good job going in and getting all the spots I had a lot of tension. The ambiance was very calming, she had a dark room, music, and very good smelling oils. I did break out a little bit from the oil but thats normal for me! Afterwards she gave me a little bit of advice on the tightness around my legs and how to stretch it better. I highly recommend you try her! First time clients get 10 dollars off. And I've already recommended all my family members to go to her! Definitely give it a try :)
