I went in with some serious pain and issues related to be trapped on planes for over 30 hours. She was very intuitive and asked if the pressure or treatment was OK for me throughout our session. She remembered where my current injuries were and handled by bruised ankle carefully. Booking was quick and easy online, as was paying. Because you pay in advance online, there is not way to tip your provider; luckily I had some cash. Parking for the location is on the street which is usually not an issue... unless you hit the pickup line for the school across the street.

The Peppermint Room has very relaxing and inviting vibes, it also smelled amazing, the waiting room was really comfortable. The massage room was so calming and the table was so nice. The extra room for a pregnant belly and chest was awesome and it was also heated. The price was so reasonable especially considering the quality of service. They also offer so many types of services that I can't wait to try. Upon checking out, I booked an appointment for my husband and I feel like we'll probably end up getting a membership because I will definitely be back. Couldn't be happier with my first prenatal massage! Thank you again Miss Dee!

Oh Wow! I knew I had plans in Old Gretna yesterday so I looked to see if I could book a massage…read morebefore or after my lunch plans and if there was online booking. I stumbled across the Peppermint Room and saw the glowing Yelp reviews and immediately booked time with Luz. I booked a massage with face cleansing ritual. First the massage part... the room was large but also cozy. The electric fireplace was a really nice touch. Luz found all the knots... all of them. And worked through them with a firm but gentle touch. I knew my back was a mess but not how much of a mess until she started working on me. The cleansing ritual was not a typical facial... it was more like a face massage with a cleansing. I highly recommend this. I wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it. Again Luz was great! The location is a non-descript building which faces Lafayette St but the front door is actually on 18th St and their are reserved parking spots out front...love the painted parking spot detail. Loved the ability to book online and I was just charged a deposit on my total bill.

Massage therapy is something important to my health and wellness routine and I regularly get massages. I'm lucky to say I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of massages - particularly in the places I lived (SF and NYC). Rachel is a top 10 for me. She knows her sh** and she's not just good at giving a massage, she's good at understanding what you need (and want). I asked her to work out the pickleball knots in my arms, shoulders back and she delivered. Thanks Rachel! I'll be back when I'm in town!

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!

They made us feel like comfortable and focused on the areas we pointed out to even. We can't wait to go back!

The prices are competitive. Wendy did a great job on my deep tissue massage. She made sure I was comfortable with the pressure throughout the massage.

So if you go make an appointment.
