While this doesn't look like a traditional spa, the services are excellent! My husband and I got a couples massage and it was wonderful. The masseuses allowed us to choose who we would be more comfortable with, and the room was set up with a calm ambience. I think their prices are reasonable as well. When you arrive, you will need to find street parking. They are very efficient about starting the services on time with little small talk, but trust me, the massages are great. We will definitely be back for individual massages! read more

See all

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful couples massage. Everyone was very professional and nice. Our massages were very relaxing and felt great! read more

WONDERFUL! We found the hidden gem for all of our future visits. They were so nice and professional. Be sure to plan ahead and book early, but we were fortunate to get a last minute spot thanks to their flexibility. read more

Best massages, clean, professional, relaxing atmosphere. Gene is awesome. He listens and questions to be sure he is meeting my expectations. I have visited at least 5 times in the last year. read more

I cannot rave about this place enough. I've gone to a couple massage parlors in memphis (including the crazy expensive yet meh Peabody Spa) this one takes the cake. The atmosphere isn't cold and clinical, or filled with snooty massage therapists. It's cozy and welcoming. My masseuse, Levi, got all my knots out and found knots I wasn't even aware of. He was able to pinpoint the reason for my tensions without me saying anything. I left actually feeling better, able to move my upper body around without stress or pain. Friendly, professional, and skilled massage therapists. They also don't charge an arm and a leg. read more

I just had a massage with Gene and it was perfect. He has really good intuition about pressure and what the body needs. It was really relaxing while also effective at releasing the knots in my body. The massage was a cross between deep tissue and sports massage. I highly recommend booking with him. read more

I booked massages for my Auntwins for their birthday a month in advance. My Aunts were absolutely blown away by the service they received from the Massage Therapists here. The ambiance was beautiful and it it's in a great location on Cooper St as the Cooper Young festival was also taking place that weekend. I'll have a more in depth review after I book my own. Thank you Calming Influence for making my Aunts' birthday amazing! read more

I booked massages and mini facials for my mom and myself. This was our first time here and we loved it. Professional, relaxing, well taken care of. Bharti (?) the woman who did my facial was a highlight of our pamper day. Prices were also very affordable for the quality of service. Highly recommend. read more

Enjoyed my experience here today i had Nadia she was attentive! Gave extreme focus on areas i was very specific about. I'm giving 4 stars in hopes that the add ons will include more variety. I would enjoy a hot towel or hot stone experience in addition to my massage. Nadia recommend the steam table i will definitely try that on my next experience. Thank you again Nadia read more

I loved my Calming Influence visit--Friendly. Nice staff. Clean facilities. I'll be back!

We were visiting Nemphis on vacation and my daughter had her first breakout. I figured it was time for her 1st facial and a mom daughter spa experience. They squeezed up in. I had a massage and she had a facial. They were both absolutely wonderful! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Natalie made sure to ask me questions about what I wanted before the appt, and she was phenomenal. So relaxing. Definitely will be back!

I love this place. I'm new to Memphis and was having some issues with my upper back, and a massage from Calming Influence did the trick! Nice facility, wonderful staff (welcoming, responsive, & clear communication). I also really appreciated how cautious they were with COVID-19 and making sure that patients felt comfortable staying healthy while getting a massage. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is fantastic and exceptionally clean. The staff is friendly and the service is really great. I've gotten two massages here and they really work what needs fixing instead of concentrating on how much time you've paid for. I'm interested to see what else they will offer now that they have a chiropractor on staff, but their spa packages are really something. And it's local. And it's in midtown. Seriously. Check them out. read more

What an incredible 90 minute massage ! Very professional and relaxing. Wish I lived in Memphis as I'd come regularly! read more

I had been looking for a new massage therapist, and I am so happy I found Kristen Grady, LMT. I just had my first massage at Calming Influence, and I have already made an appointment for next month. read more

Absolutely the most amazing practitioners I've ever had the pleasure of using--acupuncturist and Gene, massage therapist!!

I booked my aunt a massage here for her birthday and she raved about it, so when I was back in Memphis for Christmas, we booked two massages - one for her and a prenatal massage for me. My massage was relaxing, with perfect pressure. The only reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars is that they don't offer the pillows that let you lay face down for a pregnancy massage. At 6 months in, it's really nice to be able to lay in a position other than on my side. I will be back the next time I visit! read more

Really enjoyed my massage , I haven't had one in quite some time . Patrice , my masseuse provided excellent service . She took good care of me! Definitely coming back . read more

My review was removed So, here is someone else's review to prove that I'm not the only one with a problem with this place. Butt hurt much, GENE? Exhibit A: Complaint: Services were purchased from this business in the form of a Group on for a one hour massage. I scheduled on Feb 19 only to be cancelled at the last minute. With the group on expiring soon, I asked the massage therapist what to do with the situation. She told me to schedule within the next two weeks. I did for Monday, Feb 24 in the evening. I wient to the address of the business and not a soul around. After I had gotten the appointment reserved, accepted, confirmed , and reminded by the automated system. I waited for at least an hour after getting their 15 minutes early at the therapists request. I left a message for her and texted her with no reply. She is not only making herself look bad but Group on look bad . This was a birthday present from my girlfriend. Thanks for a great birthday. My girl friend is contacting group on since she purchased the massage.I have documemtation and used the intercom system their to try to get into the building.Desired Settlement: I would like to see Calming Influence Therapeutic Massage go out of business. read more

I did both an acupuncture ( first session ever) and two massages here. the staff was able to get me in the day of the first time. After calling several that went straight to voicemail. They were responsive and did an amazing job. I am very picky when it comes to massages and they nailed it. read more

I enjoy visiting Calming Influence for a massage and for the chiropractor. Everyone is very knowledgeable and professional. The rooms are immaculate and inviting and the prices are very fair. I highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business. read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Clean and relaxing environment and my massage therapist was fantastic! I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Truly 5 star experience! read more

A friend of mine, and reputable massage therapist, recommended me to Calming Influence years ago before she moved away from Memphis. I've been a loyal Calming Influencer ever since. The atmosphere is pleasant - I like that I can book reservations online - and most of all, I'm pretty certain Angela is God's gift to the planet. She's a wonderful person and talented massage therapist. If I walked in and didn't say a word to her about where I was hurting in my back - she'd always be able to find my problem areas and correct them. I'm not a big talker when I get massages and she always respects that (major bonus points!). I walk out feeling relief 100% of the time. She's a gem. Go check them out. read more

My friend and I did the 'relax and breathe' package that includes a one hour eucalyptus massage, herbal blend aromatherapy steam, and a detailed sinus pressure massage. The aromatherapy steam was private and so relaxing; I basically had my own little steam tent while laying on a massage table (in a private room). Then after a shower in a lovely, clean bathroom, I had one of the best massages of my life (and I've had many). I asked for a lot of pressure and she delivered! All in all we had about 2+ hrs of relaxation for $100 - a bargain. I can't wait to go back. The house/building is so cute and comfortable. read more

This was easily the most relaxing massage I have ever had. Calm, comfortable, responsive to identified past body issues.

I tried the hot stone massage here for the first time and it was amazing!! Very friendly and professional staff and also clean and relaxing environment. Perfect experience!!! read more

I have had several massages here. Gene does an excellent job. I have several health issues that causes muscle strain and pain. Gene asked the appropriate questions and delivered an excellent deep tissue massage. I highly recommend. read more

Wonderful massages and facials for my daughter and I. Calm, lovely environment and super nice people. Very skilled and professional. Highly recommend. read more

Calming Influence lives up to its name. I've been looking for a masseuse for some time and Christine was great. Her attention to detail, skill and mastery of her craft is evident. Two day later and I still feel great. I will definitely return. read more

My friend purchased me and my mom 60 min massages with foot bath and aromatherapy for my wedding present. We went yesterday for the first time and it was amazing!! Gene did a fantastic job he made sure to really work out all the knots without being painful. I feel so refreshed and my back has never felt this good. I also loved the little house it was in. It was decorated beautifully and was so relaxing with light music in the back ground. I love that it is so close to all the restaurants and shops. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning! read more

I am not a frequent massage customer, but every now and then, I get to splurge on a little relaxation. This is my go-to place for that. I'm not sure how that started, but over the past few years, I've had several (however infrequent) opportunities to come here. First of all, I love that it is a house. It really feels like a part of the neighborhood, and there is just something soothing about a homey environment. Everything about my experiences at Calming Influence has been relaxing. The staff is very professional and friendly. The entire experience is great - from the time you make the appointment until you walk out the door. They have a lot of great services in addition to massage and the prices are great too! Whenever I have the chance to fit some much needed relaxation into my budget and schedule, I will continue to always come here! read more

Super massage! Head to toe! The massage therapist listened to my requests and did a great job. Too bad I'm not from the area or else I'd be a regular! read more

Just had a massage here and it was phenomenal. I've received a lot of massages in my life and have become a bit of a "massage snob", and I have to say this was the best massage I've ever gotten. These folks came across as highly trained and my therapist listened and hit everywhere I wanted her to focus. Simply AMAZING. Highly recommended!! read more

Came in for an hour massage Saturday morning. Well worth it. It was a very relaxing setting, and Amy did wonders for my back.
