I had my first visit today, I would definitely recommend this place. My therapist was Audrey, she was amazing! I did the jacuzzi and sauna before my massage. It's a great way to relax before the treatment. read more

Booked this spa for my birthday with 2 girlfriends and despite the rain that day the sauna and jacuzzi was heaven. We were able to bring cheese and crackers as well as wine. Also our massages were heaven- I was so relaxed and got some much needed girlfriend time. The staff are so accommodating and sweet. 10/10 will be returning to try a facial sometime! read more

Normally I love it here, however, on Friday last I came in for a massage and it was not my most favorite massage experience. While the woman was incredibly nice, she did ask as soon as I was in the room if I minded if she wore gloves. At that juncture I'm not going to say no, it's her prerogative and I'm sure she has very valid reasons for wanting to wear them. That said, had I known prior to my appointment that glove wearing is important to her, I would have asked for someone else. I do not want a gloved massage as to me it feels very, very awkward; I assure you a gloved massage is not relaxing. I also don't want a masseuse to have to go gloveless if it makes her/him uncomfortable. In short, I feel that if this masseuse chooses to wear gloves (again, her prerogative), then those who are scheduled with her need to be made aware so that they aren't surprised in the room. I have emailed this to Essential Therapies the above and hope that no one else is surprised. I'll be asking about massage therapists glove preferences going forward and probably going somewhere else for a while. read more

I've been several times for facials. Everyone is amazing! I've had two facials with Michelle and each time my skin glowed for a week after.

I love this place, come here often to relax and get some time for myself. I do wish they did manicure!! read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's exactly what you want a day spa to be. The staff is wonderful, the setting is relaxing and the prices are right. We had a hour of sauna and hot tub time followed by a fantastic massage. It's appointment only which is actually wonderful so they can tailor to your needs. I can't wait to go back. read more

Someone scrape me off the floor please! So relaxed I can barely write this review but I will try. My girlfriend and I are always trying to find a place a little between the two of us (I am in Watertown, she is Holden). Usually we go for a hike but today was too friggin' cold so she suggested this place. They have an outdoor tub - I know it was cold, but it was so refreshing. Usually I can only get through a half hour, but with today's cool sunny weather, I stayed in for almost an hour. They have a sauna out there too and we partook of that - oh, bliss! I hear they have facials, massages and this new wet treatment - so I guess I will be coming back for more stuff and zen bliss. read more

What an amazing experience! I had Sarah for a full body massage and she was incredible. I was so relaxed and it really helped loosen up an issue I was having with my lower back. After the massage was over, I went to rinse off and then off to the hot tub and sauna in a great space out back. We ended up talking to the whole team and they were all so nice. The woman at the front desk was super helpful with getting us all set up and making sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to return! Thank you so much for a great birthday! read more

Hidden gem!! This place is like stepping into an European spa and is so relaxing I can't wait to return. I purchased an hour in the sauna/jacuzzi followed by a massage and everything was so lovely. Just going for the sauna is worth it, it is absolutely stunning inside! Lovely ambience, helpful and comforting staff. Highest praise! read more

Best spa experience I've had so far! Brownie points for being open on the Sunday before Labor Day. The building is on the smaller side but it has such a nice flow to it. It's tucked away from the main road so when you're out on the deck you can't hear cars. When you walk in you can take off your shoes and slip on a pair of sandals. I'm assuming it was the owner who greeted us as well as one of the cutest boxers I have ever seen. The sitting area is well decorated with a beautiful mural. Water and trail mix located on the counter. Lockers are provided to store your things in. One and a half bathrooms on the first floor. Highly recommend using the shower! The soaps smell amazing. Bring your hair brush. I came in for a couples retreat and we showed up an hour early to use the jacuzzi and the sauna. With there only being one massage therapist on that day, we took turns. That worked out well because I liked having the alone time to use the sauna again then take a nice hot shower. The massage was incredible! Plus it was so relaxing hearing the wind blow through the trees from the window. I melted into the massage table. I cannot wait to book another quick get away here and use some of their other services! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. read more

Amazing! I get regular facials here from Michelle and my skin has never looked better. Treatments at Essential Therapies are a perfect combination of results and pampering. I have very sensitive, acne prone, oily, overall angry skin and every time i leave this place, my skin is glowing for days after. No post-facial breakout here...that in itself is a miracle. The place is secluded and serene. I've never arrive in enough time to utilize the sauna and jacuzzi but it looks super-fun. Everybody I've met here is really friendly and the spa has a welcoming decor while still seeming professional. (Seriously...the place is spotless.) Can't recommend it enough! read more

Another amazing totally awesome relaxing experience. I couldn't be more pleased and more thankful.

We come here every time we visit family in Bolton, and it just keeps getting better. The massages are fantastic, the hot tub and sauna outside are great for wintertime (and you are welcome to bring a bottle of champagne with you!), and everyone is very friendly. I totally agree with other reviewers who said that Essential Therapies is a perfect combination of results and pampering. A must-visit if you are in town. read more

I've been to the spa a number of times and have always had a great experience having facials . Today I had an amazing 1 hour body massage with Julia. She asked me what to focus on and what pressure I was comfortable with. She hit spots I didn't even know were bothering me and explained everything along the way. It was the best massage I have had in a long time. Thank you Julia and ETDS!! read more

This place is lovely in every way: each and every employee is pleasant, thoughtful and very competent. The atmosphere is tranquil, visually appealing, smells great, and is very, very clean. Other folks have mentioned the wonderful outdoor hot tub and sauna, which is all enclosed in a private fenced-in back area along with a table and chairs. My sisters and I enjoyed this relaxing area while we waited for each other to have various treatments.The spa folks were accommodating and allowed us to bring food and drink. I had the body polish treatment in their wet room -- such an amazing experience! I've never been smoother (or cleaner!) in my life. read more

I had a facial treatment last month and I'm still overjoyed with my experience being pampered by Michelle. WOW a whole month and I'm still thinking about how lovely each moment was. My skin felt and looked great as well. I didn't feel uncomfortable going to run other errands that day. Geez I was so relaxed from my time at The Spa I actually purchased a new car that day... I was only went to test drive! read more

The first time I ever went to Essential Therapies, I knew that would be my spa anytime in the future. The spa is slightly tucked away (still easily accessible, close to the highway) so you don't hear cars or other outside noise during your treatments. One of the best parts however is the outside jacuzzi and sauna. The place has the cutest enclosed patio out back with a large jacuzzi and sauna where I've spent many afternoons with girlfriends or family enjoying the hot tub with a glass of champagne and some snacks. I almost get disappointed when it's time for my treatment to have to leave the jacuzzi. But then I go in for my massage which always turns out to be fabulous and relaxing. Whoever is giving the massage is always friendly and asks for my preferences during the massage. My sister and best friend have both done the reflexology and they've said it's the best they've ever had. Whether we're having a girls day out, or a family afternoon, we love to go to Essential Therapies. The staff is wonderful as well. Very laid back and go with the flow- they are never intrusive and always available. Other spas I've experienced sometimes have an uppity feel to them-the staff is slightly snooby and rude for some reason. I've never felt anything like that at ET and it's one of the main reasons we keep going back. It's a great place to give a gift to someone or plan a day with your family (we did Father's day last year, birthdays, graduation gifts etc). I highly recommend giving this spa a try! read more

This is the best, most relaxing spa. You can take an outside hot tub or sauna. My husband threw me a great party there w five of my friends...in the middle if winter. Fantastic read more

I just had part of my bachelorette party at Essential Therapies Day Spa and it was an absolutely amazing experience!! The area in back with the hot tub and sauna was the perfect hangout spot for all of us girls in between services. The staff was so accommodating and professional, and Michelle was amazing at organizing the day for us! (That wasn't easy with a group of 10+ girls). Everyone enjoyed their services so much and we are already talking about our next visit! read more

I really love this spa. I have been going here since 2010, after being referred by a friend. I love their massages, especially the hot stone massage. They also have a cute patio out back with a Jacuzzi and sauna, where you can relax before or after your massage. read more

What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon of self care! It was so nice being papered by their friendly and knowledgable staff. This small but lovely spa is located behind the Bolton Post Office, across from the High School. It has it all from excellent massage therapists, to a wet room, to facials and pedicures, but the best part was getting to relax in their outdoor hot tub and Finnish Sauna (just like in Finland!) for several hours after my treatments. I can't wait to do it again! read more

WOW - WHAT A GEM! I went to this spa for the day. What an incredible experience! It has a unique atmosphere - European, yet country/rural. I had the salt rub, a bath, a massage and a facial, as well as lunch. BY FAR the best facial I ever had! Usually with facials my face looks red/irritated. When I came out of Essentials, my face looked radiant, my skin felt great and I got more compliments on my skin for the next 2 weeks than I have in my life. I fully enjoyed lunch on the back deck and a soak in private hot-tub. I highly recommend this largely unknown spot! read more

Friendly, skilled, and professional staff, beautiful decor, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and great prices. A great way to recover from the Autumn yard work aches and pains! read more

My girlfriends brought me here for an afternoon of pampering before my wedding, and I could not have been more pleased! I had a facial and a half hour massage and both were wonderful. Then my friends and I sat out on their back deck and enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi while sipping wine and munching on the snacks that we brought. The staff was friendly, professional, warm and unintrusive. I would highly recommend. read more

Beautiful facility with very kind service providers. It really is a hidden gem.

Outstanding. Products and treatments are wonderful. Best facial I've ever received, and I've visited spas all over the country. Atmosphere is perfect, cozy and quaint and it feels like you have the place to yourself. read more

Welcome to paradise..... that is how I feel when I pass through the doors of Essential Therapies Day Spa. I have been going here since the owners opened, and I can honestly say, nothing compares to the oasis here. The staff is exceptional, the surroundings are exquisite. I so enjoy the hot tub and sauna especially on a cold winters day its sheer heaven. Throughout the years we have had family parties, pre wedding celebrations with friends and family. It has been a delight for all of us. The Owners and staff are professional and welcoming. The experience will leave you so relaxed and pampered. read more

I will definitely recommend this place to my friends! I have had many facials and the one I received from Shelley was aammazing! They don't just put a mask on you and walk out of the room for 10 minutes - instead they will give you a massage of your neck, arms etc while your mask sets. I will definietly be back for other services and future facials. I look forward to using the hot tub/sauna! read more

Had an awesome deluxe hot stone massage with Danielle a couple weeks ago! The room was dark and cozy and quiet and she used just the right pressure. She didn't try to chat during the massage either (that drives me nuts). I'm so happy to have found this little gem, I will definitely be back! read more

Perfectly relaxing. Quiet location though right off of road! Outdoor tub and Swedish sauna made for pre-massage warm-up. Just right in so many ways for a girls day. read more

Brought my best friend for a massage and facial here just last weekend for her birthday. We both actually had massages with Janet and facials with the same person - Mary Anne maybe? I can't remember her name. She only works on Saturdays. We rated them both very fair. Janet does not do deep tissue and doesn't really apply much pressure, so if you like a massage will less pressure you'll enjoy one with her. The facial had no extractions done even though the description said there would be. For a facial, she spent more time rubbing my hands and feet. Don't get me wrong, that was nice, but not what I was looking for in a facial! The best part was the sauna and hot tub. Although there is only one bathroom downstairs to change and shower in. Products were great though. It is a very laid back place. I was hoping the services would have been better. read more
