My wife had been given a gift certificate to Respire for Mother's Day but didn't want to use it, so…read moreI did. The appointment process is a little strange because when you call you have to leave a voicemail & then wait for a call back. Cassandra called back & an appointment was set. The building on Roswell Rd in Marietta is home to a number of businesses so it was difficult to locate their specific office. But I just texted Cassandra & she came out & showed me the way. Cassandra gave an excellent massage working out all the kinks I had mentioned to her & a few I had forgotten about. The gift was for a 90-minute massage but I am sure her 30 or 60 minute massages are just as good. I can recommend Cassandra as a quality masseuse.

I echo sentiments from other reviews that the location is small and intimate. And I also had great…read moreexperiences with the staff. I'm impressed at how Cassondra was able to address all my needs during the massage - this is the first massage I've had that didn't feel like I'd need to return for "part two" to address a single problem area. It was a good experience overall.

Shanese Armstrong, owner of Well Kneaded, contacted me right away. She explained the voucher and that I needed to complete the intake form. I had no issues scheduling my massage. She booked me with Renee. I got a call day of for an earlier timeslot, which I accepted. Well Kneaded is easy to locate in Decatur. I arrived about 10 minutes early. Renee greeted me as soon as I walked in. She told me all about the great services that are offered. They have classes for couple massage, and a few other. They have several massage rooms, sauna area, and hydration area, to name a few. Shanese offers body scan services, which will tell you what foods to avoid and what vitamin deficiency you may have. They offer yoni steaming. There are so many services to choose from performed by well-educated and trained staff. Renee gave me so much great information during my massage. Let me say I have a shoulder issue being addressed via PT and meds. Renee took such amazing care to give me a great full body massage and lightly addressed my shoulder. She was a wealth of knowledge and extremely pleasant. I had a wonderful experience with her. I would definitely return after my shoulder is healed or closer to 90%. I will say that I had greater range of motion without pain after my massage thanks to Renee.

Black-Owned Business:…read more First, thanks to my Daughter for the gifting of my 80-minute Restore & Renew Facial, a facial I'll never forget. My FANTABULOUS Esthetician was/is Candice & our time together was pure bliss. Before my session, I received a few texts to sign my disclosure form (encrypted) & to confirm my upcoming appointment. I actually like the proactive measure of seeking the necessary information upfront so it doesn't take away from the timed service. Candice was expedient in that manner while asking my preferences before we got started to ensure the proper skincare would be beneficial for me. After I mentioned my Melasma hindrances, Candice took my face into her magical & expert hands. In addition to her what I believe is her signature & restoring technique, I may have drifted off momentarily - which never happens. I can't stop "glowing" about my face, the process, immediate results & overall experience. Her keen mixology of products lightened up my Melsama instantaneously & my family has noticed as well which makes me feel even better. My Pros: *The best facial I've had thus far. *Candice provides a quiet step-by-step process. *Candice did not bombard me with upselling products. *No issue with the price points across the treatment or retail. My Cons: *It took me this long to realize the neighboring retail plaza houses Well Kneaded. *I can't see Candice every day :-) I definitely suggest Well Kneaded for any facial needs & ask for Candice! Massage (too many options to list) therapy is up next. The entire refreshing, therapeutic experience in addition to the atmosphere surpasses 5 stars. Candice, I'll see you in 27 days!

ONE major thing you have to know about this place. The address on Yelp is not its physical…read morelocation, but the location of the mailbox the owner keeps. The owner for whatever reason doesn't want to know the location of the studio to the public except to clients. Basically, read the text message she sends, and it should be in Virginia-Highlands area. If you are going near Trader Joe's, you are in the wrong location. HOWEVER... I am giving 5 stars despite that inconvenience because of how amazing the massage experience is. I have been getting massages since I was a teen and Krista is probably the 2nd best massage I have ever received period. As someone who does a lot of sports stuff, I need regular massages monthly, and Krista just gave a magical healing experience.

I got a treatment from krista using sound therapy and vibration and while I'm still a little shocked that it helped, it HELPED SO MUCH! Almost immediately I could hold weight on that foot. It was a little incredible. Going into my appointment I really thought my session would be more therapeutic for the stress of not being able to walk anywhere, not actually address the "not being able to walk" part of it. I highly recommend Krista!

I have chronic neck and back pain so my doctor recommended monthly deep-tissue massages to help ease the pain. I found Deborah though my neighborhood association's website. Her office is in Oakhurst, walking distance to me! I decided to give her a call. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found her. She is amazing. So far, she is the only person who has been able to find the exact spot in my back that pains me on a daily basis. She knows how to release the pain and always uses the right amount of pressure (I like it really deep!). Deborah seriously knows her stuff. Also, because she is a one-woman show, she gets to know you on a personal level and remembers your issues. I've been to places where I feel like just another random client. I'd recommend her to all my friends!

My husband purchased a Groupon for two prenatal massages as a Mother's Day gift. I've been having…read moresignificant back pain and swelling as I near full term. My first appointment, Tiana focused on my back for about 45 minutes, and then did some quick but thorough work on my feet. I left feeling better. My second appointment...it was a dream. Same issues, but I asked her to split the focus more evenly on my legs/feet and back. So she spent about 30 minutes on each side. The pressure was perfect, and she practically intuited exactly where I needed the help. It was literally probably the best massage I've ever had. I was so relaxed and felt so much better. My husband even noticed a change in my mood over the next day or so. Aside from the massages themselves, I've found Tiana to be professional, friendly, and kind. I had a somewhat difficult time scheduling my first appointment, but I believe this was due to her recent location move, and she's a one woman show and deserves a little grace. I've had no hesitations recommending her to other pregnant friends, and plan to return for some post-natal TLC.

After a week of hard skiing, and getting ready for mountaineering trips, I needed someone to really prep my body for life, and Elyse was a godsend. Very rarely do I find someone with the combination of strength and body awareness to really give me the deep pressure and the right bodywork. Basically, I felt like a brand new person after walking out. Real talk - I might actually visit my sister in Atlanta more just so I can come back for an awesome massage. If you are do a lot of physical activity, and need recovery, Elyse is your answer that you been waiting for!

The regular prices are way too high for me. But I figured I would give it a try because it's right by my home. It was my mistake that I arrived a couple minutes late, but I did have a bit of trouble finding the space. When I got there, it looked to be closed. I called the number on my confirmation email twice and got no answer. I was about to leave when Elise walked up and greeted me. She did give me a full hour of massaging anyway, so no complaints there. I definitely should have arrived at least 5 minutes early, though! About the massage. The website indicated that deep tissue would cost more, but it was plenty "deep" and rough, as is. Elise did, of course, ask me to let her know if it was ever too much, but I don't like to give alot of critique during massages; I like to let them do their thing as much as possible. But I did have to speak up when it felt like she was repeatedly kneading a softball into my neck!! Some people may love massages like that, but it was honestly far too painful for me. She had some moves where it felt like I was being choked and when she kneading into my scalp, I was wincing in pain. I get that I'm tight and she was just trying to loosen it, but it was just way, way too much pressure! And I am usually one to love deep tissue massages!! When I had no choice but to say that it was too much, she came completely off of my neck instead of just going lighter, which is what I was afraid would happen. Another thing that didn't really jive with me was how much heat and oils she used. I don't really need all that stuff; I'd rather the focus be more on the massage, itself. I was relieved when she finally removed a pile of heating pads that she had stacked onto my back! Even though most of it was not my thing, I think Elise is very nice and caring and talented at what she does! It's also a really nice, private setting. And lots of people will appreciate how strong she is! And yes, I could have taken the time to keep telling her it was too much, but again, I don't like to interfere too much with the therapist's flow.
