Great massage and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning soon!

Always a great place to get a massage. Staff is always super friendly. I've never had a bad massage here. Music can be a little off sometimes but overall a wonderful place read more

As a member of their monthly massage club, I cannot recommend them enough! Super friendly front desk staff, and I always leave in a better place than when I arrived. read more

Have a membership here. Excellent massages; therapists are professional & well trained.

On a whim, I called and booked an appointment after my usual massage therapist was out of town. I was greeted so warmly on the phone by I believe Britney, and was quickly offered several appointments for the day. I picked the first available, and was placed with Ralph. When I arrived, there was plenty of parking and the business was simple to access. Once again I was greeted by the receptionist warmly. The lobby was spotless, and was very inviting. Off to the right they have a waiting area with salt lamps, cushy chairs, and even a tea and water bar. Ralph promptly greeted me at my appointment time and took me back to the treatment room. Once in the room, we chatted about my goals and concerns, and Ralph conducted some exercises to assess my shoulders. I really appreciated the care before I even got on the table! When it was time for me to undress to my comfort and get on the table, I noticed not only how clean the room was, but how quiet and truly relaxing the space was. The table was warm and sheets were soft. Ralph was so thoughtful and considerate of my body and what I was comfortable with. I've been getting monthly massages for years, so I am pretty much down for firm pressure, but I would recommend Ralph to anyone, especially beginners. His attention to detail, and consistent check ins, made me feel safe and respected - something that many women do not always experience. I left feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and all of my tension was gone. Today I am very thankful for donelson massage center and Ralph. I will be back! read more

Felicia is magic! It's rare for me to find my right fit with massage therapists. I've had awesome muscle tension release but no zen (with too chatty of therapists) and I've had quiet relaxation with nice (but nowhere near awesome) back rubs (I could get at home). That balance, or perhaps whole perfect package, is something I have been chasing. I'm thrilled and grateful to have found a massage experience I'm eager to repeat. This was my 2nd time with Felicia and I can confirm she is amazing! There will be a 3rd, & 4th &... It's in her details! -- I try out new therapists booking 60 minutes & it felt like a full body (90 min) session. Pure magic! She was so thorough and balanced. Felicia's instincts about what my body/muscles need is incredible. She seems to really 'listen to" how my body responds. From the pressure to time spent in certain areas it was incredible & geared perfectly to me. While she asked these questions before we began I was very general and didn't really have many particulars just "kinda achy, want to feel better". The icing on the cake -- While it may not surprise you that she gives attention to various pressure points on your body and gives your head (brain!) the perfect amount of touch... She addresses areas like your ears (lobes AND inner cartilage), jaw, jowls, neck, & various other parts of your face that other therapists don't massage. Who knew that these hidden gems were so neglected and that once addressed stress and tension you didn't even know you were holding would melt right off?! It was truly amazing. I would (& will!) recommend her to everyone! read more

Like almost everyone, I've had great experiences here. The therapists are great, the staff is wonderful, and the place has a great balance of atmosphere and cost. I know there are places with fancier styles and more of a day spa feel, and that has its place. DMS is clean, quiet, and cozy, and when I want a massage, it's one of the first places I check. read more

This was a birthday gift from my oldest daughter. I had a great massage. Very relaxing! We arrived at our scheduled appts and they were ready for us. Since it was my first time here, a little time was spent asking if there were areas I needed work on and areas that needed to be avoided. All questions were asked and answered in the beginning so during the massage, I could relax and enjoy. I LOVE being pampered!!!!! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a 60 minute couples massage because my brother and his girlfriend gifted us a gift certificate. My masseuse was Rose, my boyfriends masseuse was Zachary. We both thoroughly enjoyed our massages and how the environment aided in our complete relaxation. This was my boyfriends first professional massage, and it certainly did not disappoint. When we scheduled our couples massage, we just did a regular 60 minute Swedish massage. To my surprise, aroma therapy, hot towels, and hot stones were used on me by my masseuse Rose...it was such a delight! We both said we'd be back, and are even thinking about getting the monthly 60 minute couples massage membership! Thanks Donelson Massage Center! read more

Candace was phenomenal!!! We started off our girls' weekend with massages, which I highly recommend doing! Candace did a full body massage and worked on the areas that I was really having problems with. I am a new mom just getting back to work, and I haven't had much me time in a long time, but 1 hour with Candace made a huge difference! Thank you so much! read more

I've gotten a massage every other month for the last 10 years, because I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck and I get migraines if I don't. And I've never been attached to one masseuse in particular. But I just got a 45 min massage from Ash, and it was the best massage I've ever had. I have more mobility in my neck than I can recall and I haven't felt tight at all. I can't recommend him strongly enough. read more

Wow! What a classy joint. My masseuse FELICIA WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I could tell that she actually CARED about me and I could feel her genuine energy. She had the perfect touch and pressure and really worked on me. I will be back every three weeks to see this amazing woman! The best experience I've ever had, hands down. read more

Wife loved her massage! Said masseuse communicated everything clearly and was very effective in helping relieve the tension in her back causing the migraine and sciatic pain. read more

Jack has been massaging me since 2015 2016 I think ! Any hurt habit or hang up I go see Jack lol literally amazing from beginning to end !! !!! I never even have to tell him what I need I'm just like Jack do your thing !! He's the sweetest person ever !!! They are so so blessed to have him ! Justin the owner is amazing as we'll always reply back super quick and truly cares about every customer !! I will forever go here ! It's the best self care I've ever done for myself !!! read more

Sending a public thank you to Derrick. He fit me in at the end of the night for a 30 minute chair massage. I am traveling, and I often have neck and shoulder issues if I don't sleep right. Obviously then it's even harder to sleep. It's a vicious circle. I wasn't able to get in anywhere else, and I am so glad it worked out this way. Derrick saved me. He was very professional, and polite, and I can not wait to actually get a good nights rest. If I am ever back in town I'll probably be back here. I might even be back before I leave again! read more

Check in is easy , short wait time , clean ok massage nothing special to note. Price was ok

Imad wholely embodies the term professionalism. I have suffered with pain and limited range of motion in my shoulders for several years. I have tried multiple approaches in the past including physical therapy, massage and acupuncture but in as little as 4-6 myofascial release sessions with Imad, I have noticed a huge increase in my range of motion whilst weightlifting and swimming and a huge decrease in my pain levels in my neck and shoulders for the first time in almost a decade. Imad's enduring attention to detail and his pin-point and precise massage technique, in spite of not being for the faint-hearted (deep breaths for the win!) will literally feel like the key to unlocking tension and freeing your body's range of motion. There is no one I would sooner recommend for myofascial release and trigger point therapy in my many years of receiving treatment. Thank you Imad, your sessions have been nothing short of life-changing. All the staff at Donelson Massage are always helpful, courteous and polite and their online/ telephone booking makes it simple and convenient to schedule treatments. I highly recommend the monthly memberships to ensure you take advantage of the fantastic value services they other offer for a modest monthly fee. read more

We had massages scheduled for 2 and were SO looking forward to them. We got a babysitter, got our toddler situated, and got in the car to head out when we got a call. Appointment got canceled 30 mins before it was supposed to start. I understand things happen but I expect a little more than 30 mins notice, especially when their cancellation policy charges full service amount for customer cancellations within one hour. So we still get to pay the babysitter but no massages for us. read more

Excellent value. Especially as a first-time customer - they offer 60 minutes for 60 dollars! Very relaxed environment, not pretentious at all. It's nothing fancy but is safe, clean, and most importantly, delivers an excellent massage that will make you want to come back! read more

I found availability at this place last minute on the same day looking. Note: service industries would prefer you book in advance. The staff was very welcoming and my massage therapist, Shelby, was one of a kind. She hit all my needs and then more. I left feeling younger and more relaxed. read more

Donelson Massage Center offers all sorts of massages, from deep tissue to pre-natal to thai massage that you can conveniently (and easily) schedule online, by phone, or in person.  They offer massages from 15 minutes to two hours.  One of my favorite things about this place is the flexibility.  They are open daily, and have an array of times available to meet practically anyone's schedule.  I have scheduled three massages here so far, one for my mom and the other two were for me.  We both have had great experiences here. The facility is a very nice size. Clean.  Quiet, tranquil atmosphere.  Very friendly staff at the front desk.  Both massages I had were excellent and very relaxing.  The massage therapists were very thorough and were able to customize my massage based on my aches and pains!  Donelson Massage Center is a gem, and I will definitely be back!  My only suggestion for this place is to maybe put some signs up so you can easily find your way back to the front desk!  I was a little lost after my massage as we had come through a door, and I couldn't remember which one! read more

I have a herniated disc in my neck and Zach did an amazing job! I needed firm pressure and focus on my shoulders and neck and he did just that. I opted for the cupping massage and it helped relieve so much pain. Zach is very kind and gave me a lot of tips for upkeep on my neck (different stretches, what to do/not do etc). Another thing I really liked was the massage chairs in the front while you wait. I've never seen that before. It's not just the flimsy ones you get at the nail salon either, these are zero G, get into every single muscle type chairs. I would totally come in early just for that! In the bathroom there are salt/sugar scrubs to try as well. I felt very pampered. If you're looking to treat yourself or someone else this is a great choice. read more

My girlfriend and I booked a couples massage here and had a very good experience. Maria and Vanessa did a great job. My girlfriend actually fell asleep during her session because she was so relaxed. I highly recommend these folks if you have issues with sciatic pain like I do. It is the day after and I'm feeling better than I have in a while. read more

I had a wonderful experience in October 2020, and I decided to treat myself to a 90 minute massage with Zach on Friday, May 21st. This experience was absolutely horrible. At the beginning of the massage, I let Zach know that I had been experiencing tension headaches and anxiety and my overall goal for the session was stress relief. Zach (unprompted) talked the entire session about incredibly controversial topics. The line was crossed when he suggested that my Covid-19 vaccine was responsible for my anxiety and stress. Zach also was talking about misinformation regarding Covid-19 (about 5G manipulating blood cells, the Chinese government, and overall downplaying the severity of the virus). He also acted very immature, and when I turned over on my back he pulled the blanket over my nose and told me "I was a ninja", and when he was stretching out my arm, he took my fist and put it to my face like I was punching myself. My previous massage experiences, the massage therapists went above and beyond to create a safe, calm, and healing environment. Zach did not do that. After I paid and left, I was so upset by the experience that I went back in tears to talk to the man at the front desk. He listened to me and said he would speak to Zach about it, but he also managed to gaslight me and blamed me for not checking "no talking" on the intake form. I was never given an intake form when I arrived, and I did not fill one out during my online booking. I checked "no-talking" on my original intake form from October, but I do not believe that was referenced because Zach did not know that I did not want to have my feet or glutes touched until I told him at the beginning of the session. The man at the desk also told me I should ask for a woman next time that "thinks more like I do". I feel like it shouldn't matter. I have been in isolation for the better part of a year, I have lost family members due to Covid-19. This was my attempt to get a 90-minute break from the outside world and to feel "normal" again. The man at the front desk told me he would have the manager, Brittney, call me on Monday to discuss this further but she never did. It is Zach's right to believe in whatever he wants to believe in, I am not trying to change that. All I want is the acknowledgement that his behavior was inappropriate and unprofessional. I left Donelson Massage Center feeling awful, anxious, and tense and that should not have been the case. read more

Pros: Very affordable membership rate. I pay $49 a month and can typically get an appointment within the day. My schedule is hectic so this is very convenient. The staff, from the massage therapist to the front desk, are very friendly. And I've finally FINALLY have found a therapist that I really enjoy. Damita is great. She not only gets the knots in the tension areas, but also does great stretches and understands how to release tension through pressure points. She will be my go-to from now on. Another plus is that they have several add-on services for no additional cost. From aromatherapy sessions, biofeeeze pain therapy, sugar foot scrub, and more. I've been charged at minimum $10 for these services at other locations before. Cons: It took me several visits before I found a therapist that I really liked. There has been several occasions where I wish I had a better experience not that they weren't friendly, but because my massage wasn't as good as I'd hope. read more

I managed to snag a 90 minute massage at the very last minute with Francine. To say that it was wonderful would be an understatement. I have had so many traumatic things happen in the last year and the massage literally brought everything to the surface for me to let go. Her touch was almost freeing and I know that sounds weird. After the massage was over, I was actually moved to tears and I ended up having a heart to heart with her. The massage itself was extraordinary, but the "therapy" I received afterward was even better. I am so grateful that I took that last minute appointment. read more

I've been here twice now and both experiences were great! One for a more pain relief massage and one for relaxing. Both therapists listened to my needs and made the experiences enjoyable. They also have a great membership to save 20% if you come in once a month! Needless to say I'll be back read more

This is my first time at this massage center, and the experience was remarkable from beginning to end. As soon as I stepped inside, I instantly felt relaxed and comfortable. The waiting area is comfortable and has a soothing, calming mood. The overall ambience is incredible. Imad was the masseuse for my session, and he is very respectful and considerate. He asked what my problem areas were, and he focused on them. All of his movements were gentle yet purposeful. I have never felt so relaxed in my life. The whole experience was exceptional. I recommend this place as well as Imad as your masseuse! read more

Donelson Massage is -affordable -clean -friendly -easy This isn't a fancy spa. The bathrooms are dingy, there's an employee kitchen that's visible, and the fancy fruit water comes in paper cups. However, when they get down to business, they do a good job and the therapists know their stuff. Overall, this was a convenient, easy experience. I even signed up for the membership ($1 cheaper than massage envy) afterwards. In terms of the experience, They do a nice survey ahead of time and then you're led to a room with calm music, privacy, and diffusers. When it's over, they give you a few extra minutes to relax and change. You can book online and they're never too crowded. Plus, you don't have to deal with any traffic and can go shopping at the heavenly Donelson Publix down the street. Donelson Massage comes by its five stars honestly. You get more than what you pay for and you really aren't paying too much. read more

I received a full body massage 3 weeks postpartum after experiencing complications and a back injury. Lindsey K. Was absolutely amazing! I've had many massages and this was by far the BEST one I've had! I could feel the aches and pain releasing from my body. 10/10 would recommend, go see them! read more

My experience wasn't the best. Here are the pros and cons I experienced this week. Pros: The woman at the front desk was so nice and welcoming. She really was great to interact with. The ambience was also great. & the intro price for a 60 minute massage and the membership options are awesome! Cons: Tonya did a terrible job on my massage. She did not at all pay any attention to my information sheet where I listed areas of my body like my face, scalp and feet that I did not want massaged. She continued to massage those areas anyway. Her bony elbows have left my back in more pain than I came in with. She literally only pressed down with her bony elbows into my bones over and over. I needed her to focus on my shoulders, back and neck which barely got 15 mins out of my 60 min massage. I may come back again but it will HAVE to be with a different masseuse. read more

I was having a pretty crappy day so I decided to treat myself to a massage. I was able to book a same day appointment and booking was quick and easy. I am still on cloud 9 from my massage with Darrell. Absolutely the best massage I've ever had! I will be back and signing up for a membership. read more

Donelson massage centers offers peace, relaxation, and tension reduction without the crazy price. Yes, you do need to be okay with the building being old and more like an office building with small rooms (sometimes you might hear some people talking, but you can focus on the ambient sounds and breathing techniques to distract yourself from it) - but I'd rather save money than pay for the building! Every room I've been in has a comfy massage table, aromatherapy, hot towels, ambient noise, and more! Every massage therapist I've had has been great and very accommodating to my needs. After trying multiple therapists, I've started to see Allison consistently this year. Highly recommend her! She does a great job listening and I truly leave every massage relaxed and comfortable. read more

Again I have to give praise at Donelson massage & Francine I went in yesterday feeling like I'd have to dye to feel better. Had not slept 5 min. night before. My head was pounding from sinuses swelled up. Fracine worked on me like an Angle. I slept like a baby all night, really rested! Head ache gone, I feel human again. What a gal! read more

We've gone here the past three years. Have tried other places locally (Hendersonville), but nothing compares to these wonderful folks. It is worth the drive for us. Friendly desk personnel and therapists are outstanding. Big shout out to Catarina and Rhonda. read more

Felt amazing.. .. Good atmosphere..nice and clean . smells good too Will return.. a little pricey though

Best place ever! They fit us in with their busy Valentine's Day schedule- we booked the day of. Super clean, super awesome staff. Affordable prices! All in all great place to relax! read more

Donelson Massage Center - Donelson massage - Massage Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went for my first massage today after lurking on Yelp and their website for months. I am always a bit trepidatious about massages as I find they can be painful and awkward. After all the "not fancy" mentions in other Yelp reviews, I was thinking I would be walking into a sterile space but it's cute!: very comfortable and welcoming. Everyone was friendly -- and Francine, my massage therapist, was very kind and took the time to listen to what my concerns were - and specifically asked if there was anything I did not prefer and was able to alleviate some hip pain for me. If you think you'd like to come back regularly they do have a membership but even the non-membership rates are less pricey than I would expect for 'round Nashville. Also, of note, they have evening hours which is great for us non-morning people who work late! read more

Always pleased with Donelson Massage Center. The new facility is super cute and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've had Adam twice for a massage and would definitely recommend him! Overall great prices, great service, and great hours. read more

My back was so bad from work this week that I needed to do something about it. I had never had a massage before, and was nervous about feeling awkward or not knowing the etiquette. Martha was awesome in explaining how massages work, talking to me about muscle groups while we were going, and giving me advice on stretches and things to do at work to prevent my back from getting so bad in the future. I would definitely recommend. It's relaxing and quiet, but not too new age-y or pretentious. Exactly the vibe I was hoping for. My back feels much better today, and I slept great last night. read more
