My friend brought me a gift certificate for a 60 min massage. I've called and left a message no one…read morereturned my call. I sent an inquiry on Sept. 18th in order to schedule an appointment. They did not respond via email until Sept 28th. I was told they had limited times and days. So after conversing back and forth via email she provided a date and in which I responded would work. On the same day I confirmed with her and she never responded back. I sent an email confirming the appointment was still taking place on the morning of my appointment. In an abundance of caution I went up there the day of my appointment just in case and no one was there. I'm assuming because they have already been paid for the service that they feel they don't need to be professional which is really unfortunate. So beware if you buy a gift certificate for someone for this business.

I went to dinner this past weekend and was in so much pain I groaned getting into my seat. My…read morefriend told me that I should get a massage but I told her that I didn't have much money. She told me about this great inexpensive massage guy that did wonders for her feet. I felt so bad that I just wanted to go home, take some pain medications, and crawl into bed. That's when she told me I didn't have anymore excuses because Nova Massage Therapy will only come to my house. I gave in and after dinner gave them a call. The owner, Sam Kline, picked up, gave me the rates, told me they only take cash / or paypal, and within one hour was at my home. I was a little nervous having a total stranger come to my house. I live in the country, I have a lot of animals, in a really small place, and not a whole lot of room. I made sure to tell him that I have many skin allergies and he would have to bring unscented products with him. First good sign upon his arrival was that my dogs liked him, LOL! We sat down in the living room, talked for a while, and he gave me some forms to fill out. A short medical history, more information about my allergies, specifics about my painful areas, and I was impressed at how thorough it was. Usually when I get a massage at the nail place down the road they don't ask a lot of questions and barely understand what I'm saying. Sam asked to be shown what room to set up in so he could get everything ready while I filled out the forms. After he sat down with me to review the forms and asked me what kind of massage I was looking for. That's when I found out he was also a Reiki Master and would do energy work on me. We walked into my bedroom and he had set up a massage table in the middle of the room. I was impressed with the electrical candles which means no triggering my allergies for me. The candles were a wonderful touch along with the meditation music playing on his CD player. We did have to remove three cats from the set up massage table but Sam was humored by it. He left the room, asked me to undress to my level of comfort, and asked me to lay on the table, under the sheet, and facing up. During the beginning of the massage Sam quickly realized that just lifting my arms caused me so much pain it caused me to cry. He stopped the massage, put his hands under my neck, and then I felt something I've never felt before. It was like waves of energy were pulsing out of his hands, into my head, and down my spine. It was like being lightly shocked by electricity, but not in a bad way, and continuously for 10 minutes. When he finished he lifted my arm and my pain was reduced by half. I am a true believer in the power of Reiki now! He massaged my shoulders while I was laying face up which I haven't had done before. It just seemed like the muscles were being hit better then massages I got face down. At one point he hit a tender spot on my back and by massaging it all the pain drained out of my left hand. He eventually asked me to flip over and the sheet was big enough to avoid exposing myself. I have bad feet and hands also due to injury which were wonderfully massaged. He didn't miss a single spot and spent extra time on the sore places indicated on my intake form. Sam was professional, friendly, good to my animals, respectful of my home, and arrived on time. The massage was 90 minutes, cost me $100, and made me realize that there are big differences in the quality of Massage people. I've been getting massage at a corner beauty salon when I should have been getting it from a professional massage therapist / Reiki Master all along. Normally it takes about two days for the pain to return but afterwards no pain returned and I've even gone back to working out!

As I entered the establishment, I noticed that it was clean and quiet, which I like. Even though I was late, the receptionist welcomed me in, and the masseur still provide me with a full 60-minute massage. So, real quick, I don't prefer to be massaged by a dude. I'm not homophobic or "a manly man," I just prefer a woman. I believe it's because I feel more relaxed with a woman. Nevertheless, in this experience, I received a masseur named Zack. Zack was incredible! Just his way of talking and his passion for the profession made me feel at ease. Also, I love a ton of pressure on my back and Zack was able to provide that and some. He did such a great job that I had to tip him, even though the massage was previously paid for by my friend. This was a great massage given by a professional and thorough masseur. If you need some muscles kneaded, Zack is your guy. Enjoy! Side note: I was late because I could not find this place. Well, if you're like me, know that it is right next to the Apple Credit Union in the Potomac Festival Shopping Center; Staples is across the parking lot.

I hate to start off low but I got to for the first time experience here. I have been needing and…read morewanting a massage for months due to me working out and the type of job I have wearing heavy equipment on my waist and body all day and night. I know massages/facials can get expensive so I wanted to try out a few spots first before I spent too much money. So I decided to go on Groupon and see what was available. I purchase one a few months and needed to use it up before it expired. Since this place was so close to my house I was excited to see how this would go....boy was I extremely disappointed. I have gotten massages in so many places around the world and always had a great experience. I would feel so rejuvenated, relaxed, and be ready to go take a nap. But this time around....not so much. I guess I should have known this masseuse wasn't going to be good because he had a very cynical attitude from the start. He started out acted like I was late for my 7:00 appointment, but I was checking in at the front reception desk since 6:50. I was up there asking questions and getting more information on possibly getting a membership. If you was so concerned about me maybe being late why not take a trip to the front and see if the client has arrived. So after this less then stellar introduction he tried to make small talk. But again....in a very cynical type of way. Knowing I'm the last customer of the day I guess John really wasn't trying to do his best job. He told me he did "deep tissue" which I informed is good because of my shoulders, legs especially knees, and feet were my main issues. Why when he asked me why I came I said "because I'm sore from working out and my everyday job" he kind of "scoffed" as if this was a lame reason for me to come. See where I'm going with this... So the massage started and John was making all these weird sounds and noises throughout the ENTIRE session, but didn't really do anything remotely close to a massage. I get a better massage at the nail salon! He never touched my feet...acted like he couldn't do anything with my knees which I've never heard a masseuse say that before. And his supposedly special shoulder "technique" he kept emphasizing wasn't more then some pulling on my shoulder that I could have went to a chiropractor to do better. I don't know where this guy went to school because the service was horrible. I couldn't even relax and sleep like I usually do because of all this grunting and pulling he was doing. Afterwards he just left the room and I never even seen him again. This is the first time I have ever had an experience like this before and I would hope the last. Just imagine if I would have paid full price I would have felt robbed out of my money for the unpleasant experience. I was tempted to not give a "tip", but opted for $5 only because it was a Groupon and I didn't pay full price... Will I come again? Yes I'll give them a try but if John is the only one available I will pass. I like to give them the benefit of the doubt that their other masseuses are better. How I left out of there is not what I expected...American standards need to be improved because overseas in other countries are killing the massage game! Y'all need to do better!
