Enjoyed my self-care sessions at this small, black-owned spa. I have been there three times, so I can give an overall review. I've had the Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massages and every session has been great. The massage therapists really knows what they're doing and actually works the tension out. The space is quiet, relaxing, and the decor is simple but calming, which I appreciate. Nothing over the top, just a decent experience and a place where you can truly unwind. Clearly I need to go ahead and book my next session. read more

Caressence is my refuge from the world! Nichole is the ultimate professional and highly skilled in her field.

I was referred to Caressence by my doctor. Deserie was very knowledgeable. We discussed my health issues and concerns and she prescribed the best therapy treatment to fit my needs. After the session, she provided me with tips and additional information to assist with the therapy plan between treatments. I would highly recommend Caressence Theapeutic Massage for natural healing, massages, and a variety of other services. read more

I'm happy to trust my body with Nichole, who is remarkably knowledgeable about the body and the techniques that will work best to resolve or ease my concerns. I enjoy the use of essential oils and she's happy to share her knowledge and recommendations for use and benefits of the oils. I appreciate the professionalism and ease of booking. Great service. read more

I heard about this place on Groupon. The price on Groupon, it was only $65! I think the original price is about $100 or so. The ambiance was amazing! The lights were dim but not too dim, and the music was extremely relaxing. The oil she used I believe had eucalyptus because it really did help relieve stress just by smelling it. The person who did my massage was wonderful! She took care of all my problem areas. I personally have issues with my lower back and shoulders. She made sure to be gentle on my lower back because I have tender spots. She was extremely nice and responsive and always asked to make sure I was ok or if I needed anything. I plan to come back here again. read more

This was a great experience! It's been a while since I got a massage and I'm glad we found Caressence! Nichole is ever the professional. Temperature check when I walked in the door. Location as a great ambience, very soothing. Nichole has hands of magic!! I can't wait to go back! read more

I got a groupon for Caressence a while back and decided to cash it in this past weekend. Nicole was very accomodating when scheduling and was she very friendly through out the appointment. She made sure to ask and verify how much pressure I wanted (a lot!) and did a good job making sure I was comfortable. This is not a luxury spa type massage, as the AC is a bit loud and the space is a bit random. The location is a little confusing since she rents the space from another company. Even though the suite name says something about a colon cleansing company, Nicole's massages are not nearly that invasive! Still, this was a great massage especially for the price. I'd go back again! read more

I purchased a Groupon for two 60 minute therapeutic massages. I treated myself & my Mother. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival and taken to begin our sessions within minutes. The massage therapist who I saw told me that my back was tight, I told her it was stress in which she told me to "let it go"....rightfully so. She applied pressure in places on my back that seemed to be rather sensitive and it began to hurt. I felt relaxed at first but the pressure applies caused pain that was almost unbearable. I was informed that I would be sore the next day and to take a hot shower to soothe the soreness. She was right because two days later and I'm still sore. I can't recall the last time I had a massage that left me sore afterwards and it's been approximately 6 months since my last massage. I recommend practicing self care and treating yourself to a spa / massage at least once a month in general. The music was relaxing however, the "spa" part isn't exactly what I would refer to it as. Overall the experience was ok, I would advise others to check it out for their own personal experience. read more

Aurora gave me a fantastic massage. Definitely in the upper end of good massages. They moved to another location in an office park. Their office sort or resembles a doctors office as opposed to a spa. The room was okay. I was a bit overheated at first since the room was bright with the windows open on a hot day. My only other complaint was that for the first third of the session I heard the bass of someone else's music on top of the relaxing music. It was kind of irritating but eventually it subsided. I found this place from a Homerun deal. They said they're offering the deal price through end of April so I may return... It's just that damn 495 traffic... Also, the address changed. read more

I used my Groupon this Saturday for a massage at Caressence. I liked it so much I took advantage of their other special for first-time customers and bought one for my boyfriend! The location is in Greenbelt (PG County) near the Hanover Parkway shopping center with the Bally Total Fitness, Old Navy and Chevy's (had lunch at Chevy's after the massage). It is not a spa, but more like a nice doctor's office. I was greeted immediately upon entering and offered a glass of water. I did have to wait a while for another client to finish up, but it was a quiet, pleasant wait (I brought a book with me). Annette is great. She has strong hands and her strokes are fabulous. I had a massage once at the Taschler Institute, which was fabulous, and I didn't think it could be better than that, but I must say I think Annette was better. She found a spot on my back that was knotted and worked it over like no tomorrow! I didn't know I carried stress in my back but she found it! It bordered on painful at times, but when I let her know I couldn't take any more, she let up with the heavier pressure. I was so relaxed and stress free by the time that I left, I decided that massages are a necessity to my monthly regimen (I will be getting them as much as I can!). Pluses - quiet location, near shopping center, one-on-one attention, clean room, calming music, personable staff, receipt texted to your phone Drawbacks - thick massage cream/oil needs to be washed off once you leave or you will feel oily for the rest of the day. I liked it but I'm thinking my boyfriend might have an issue with that. I recommend Caressence (thumbs up!). read more

Nichole is truly gifted! She has been massaging me for over 15yrs and she just gets better and more knowledgeable each time. This new high frequency lymphatic detox massage she's doing is really helping me in areas I did not expect. My face is clearer, my scars are looking lighter and I am regular for the first time in my life! I recommend her for all of you relaxation and therapeutic needs. read more

Nicole has provided me with several massages and each one seems better than the last. You come into the office with tight muscles and walk out feeling like a new woman. I have given her services as Christmas gifts as well as birthday presents. Each person that I gave the gift and have referred to her have raved about her services. She is friendly but very professional. She asked questions about my general health and provided several recommendations on how I could improve my health with just little change. I will continue to use her services and the price is always just right. She makes this enjoyable service affordable! read more

I purchased my 60 minutes swedish massage from Groupon. I purchased it months ago and scheduled an appointment for today with Nicole. When scheduling months ago it was quick fast and easy. Nicole contacted me right away and booked my appointment. This was my first ever massage so I was extremely nervous on how things were going to go. I was greeted immediately upon entering. Staff was friendly and professional. I completed a intake form before beginning and immediately was brought back to the massage room to begin (I did arrive on time 15 minutes ahead). Nicole explained everything to me step by step on how a massage typically goes. Even though I was nervous I went full force and got undressed and laid under the covers for the full experience. Nicole talked me through the process along with having small casual talk but not too much where it took me away from the relaxation experience of the massage which helped me to feel more comfortable with the massage experience but also knowing you are having a new person massaging your body for the first time. The suite was clean, fresh, with calm music playing. The rooms were dimly light and spacious for me. Overall, for my first time massage I really enjoyed the experience and definitely will be going back soon for another scheduled massage and body wrap to try. read more

Great, professional massage by well trained therapists and jut generally very nice people. A great value too. Everything was very nicely kept, clean and relaxing. I went in stressed and tight, and I came out 100% relaxed and with a new view of the world. I'll be back for sure. It's worth mentioning that as of this writing, the address here on Yelp says 7301 Hanover Pkwy, Suite A. In fact the business has moved. They are now located at 7323 Hanover Pkwy, Suite A. read more

Purchased a Groupon for Caressence Massage, booked my appt on line (very convenient) and went yesterday to cash in. The place is situated in a office suite in a business park in Greenbelt. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. The interior was quaint- 2 chairs, a sofa and a front desk. The massage room was clean, spacious and smelled of armomatics; not overpowering. My massage was with the owner; Nicole. She was friendly and focused on my problem areas. Received a flyer to come back at a reduced rate. I would definitly rebook. read more

The only bummy part about this clinic is that it's so difficult to schedule appointments b/c they are so booked up!!! After the groupon session, i purchased two more gift certificates to use in the future at the same price. I went again a few weeks ago and found that she hired new masseuse. I had an older gentleman this time and he was very respectful, performed an amazing 60 minute (not 55 minutes or 50 minutes), but full 60 min deep tissue with perfect pressure. I highly suggest going to Caressence instead of any of those chains, support local businesses! read more

I recently ran a half marathon so my body was really sore. I found a Groupon for this location so I called and booked an appointment the same day. The location was easy for me to get to and parking is a non-issue. Upon arrival I was offered some water and filled out my intake form. Francise (sp) game me my massage. It was a combination of various techniques according to the needs of my body. She explained her approach and gave me some tips on what to do on my own. I truly enjoyed the session and will try to make a habit out of it. read more

I love that my masseuse explained the benefits of some natural remedies for my ailments. I took the time to make sure I wrote down everything that was going on with my body and she also took the time to make sure she went over natural remedies with me which was great. My massage was really good and it totally relaxed me. I almost fell asleep, I actually thought I was home in my bed. read more

I found Caressence on Groupon about two years ago, and have been a customer since. I get a massage there almost monthly and I have been happy with each session. I have had both Lori and Nicole work on me and they are both great. They are very professional and friendly. The office is always clean and calming. There was a time or two where I actually fell asleep on the table, and I've never done that with any other massage. The only wish I have is that the rooms could be a bit darker, but other than that, I love it. read more

Great massage! Coconut oil and Shea butter are used for the service and it leaves your skin feeling amazing. I felt great after the 60 minute, Swedish, medium pressure massage. read more

I just had a Swedish massage at Caressence with Nicole. This is a wonderful establishment. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I had an issue that had been bugging Me for over a week and she went right to the problem and worked the muscle out. She was very professional and I felt comfortable under her care. I would recommend this establishment to everyone! read more

Care Essence provides a great service. Nicole asked if I was having any problems and then discussed what she can do to help relieve any pain or discomfort. I have had many massages before, but no one ever ask if I had any problems areas. Nicole ensured I was comfortable and that the pressure was ok. I enjoyed my massage and will be going back. The facility is nice they are playing relaxing Spa Music in the waiting area...Nicole has a water fall fountain in the massage area for the sound of tranquility. I would recommend Caressence services to anyone! read more

I was gifted a Groupon for two 60 minute massages. I went today for my first one. I was greeted promptly by the owner, and then Renee offered me some water. After I filled out the intake form, Renee took me back and asked several questions to gain a good understanding of what I wanted to get from this experience. She was personable, professional and gave a great massage! We joked a little and had a good conversation before the massage began. I booked another appointment with her for next month. My only recommendation would be to invest in black out curtains so not as much sunlight comes through. The music was great and I received the full 60 minutes. read more

I gotta give Nicole 5 stars. The office itself is just in some random building. I got a groupon & I am so glad I did. Any massage I get from now on will be with Nicole. She just knew the right about of pressure. You know how sometimes there are areas that need a ton of pressure & others not so much... well, she just knew how much to use. She would ask to make sure but she was just right on. The massage room was spacious & peaceful with great aroma therapy. The other random wonderful thing is I didn't leave there greasy from head to toe. She used massage oil or whatever but I hate leaving a massage and having to shower immediately so I'm not an oil slick, didn't have that peroblem with Nicole. Nicole is very talented, strong, good energy, friendly... I could sing her praises all day & this was my first and only massage with her. Cant wait to go back. read more

I've been a client of Caressence Therapeutic Massage since 2006. I started going to Ms. Nichole after being in a car accident that left me with a messed up back and nerve damage. I was in extensive physical therapy three times a week for two years with not much progress until I started going to Caressence Therapeutic Massage. My back would go out without warning leaving me in a crippled state, bent over barely able to walk yet alone drive. After my massage session I was ALWAYS able to walk straight and the pain would go away. Ms. Nichole was my life saver...or should I say my back saver! I would highly recommend her services because she has a gift of healing and is very knowledgeable in her field. She has a kind heart, positive attitude and a beautiful spirit. Thanks, read more

One of the highlights of my month is knowing I have an appointment with Caressence! Nicole has been massaging me for over 5yrs now since I had lung cancer. Her massages helped me to heal physically but I always leave Caressence feeling spiritually healed as well. Nicole has gifted hands that God has designed to relax, heal & comfort his people. Aside from great massages, Nicole is very professional & courteous. I highly recommend everyone to make an appointment today...you won't regret it. read more

I got a referral from my gym, and immediately called Caressence to schedule a massage. I left a voice message--and staff responded within the hour. I booked an initial appointment (60 minute massage). Upon arrival, I was pleased with the ambiance, cleanliness, check-in procedure and the initial consultation about my needs. Ten minutes into my deep massage I was hooked! On my second appointment, I purchased six, 60- minute sessions! I plan to get a massage every month, but may book one or two more often--especially when my blood pressure spikes! If only I could roll off the massage table onto a cot, and nap for an hour after each massage...but I digress. Nichole is prompt, professional and very personable. I am absolutely delighted that Caressence is located in Prince George's County because I prefer to support businesses where I live! I'm disappointed that I first learned about Caressence in October 2014--but better late than never! read more

Nicole has THE BEST hands! I found Caressence through a Groupon and now I won't go anywhere else. Scheduling is a breeze - thanks for the online booking. And they constantly offer discount packages so it stays affordable. The staff is very nice and professional, the offices and massage rooms are clean & relaxing. I highly recommend them!! read more

Its,not a spa .... zero ambiance. . Masseuse sits down while giving massage. .. hence zero pressure just feels like your body is being lotined... they used a balm instead of massage oils.... I will have to go to a real spa for a real massage won't recommend to any of my friends or family read more

My daughter gifted me a 60 minute therapeutic massage for Mother's Day. My shoulder was still hurting from a minor auto accident and my feet were killing. Ambience of office was not very appealing. Looked as if they were just getting started and acquired old furniture and massage tables. But all that was negated when I actually received my massage. Francese was absolutely wonderful!! She took the time to assess my problem and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. She used therapeutic techniques to relieve the pain first then ended with full massage. I recommend Francese for particular problem areas. 4 stars to Francese but 2 stars for ambience. read more

I used Groupon to have a try, and it was really good! Cherron is a very professional therapist and it is a quiet place. The best thing is that they do not try to sell, but just focus the massage, which enhance my interest to continue coming and happy to know any deals read more

I absolutely love Caressence Therapeutic Massage! I was on the lookout for a massage location close to my house, and initially bought the Groupo deal.. The first experience was so wonderful that I have been coming back on a monthly basis for massages with Nicole. I can actually feel my muscles relaxing and tension seeping away during the massage. It is by far the most professional massage experience that I have had -- I will definitely continue to come back. :) read more
