I met Sheilah several months back when I booked her with a Groupon.

Her "office" is in a gorgeous, tree-lined street with old homes that reminded me of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. The home she works out of is a beautiful older home with lots of character and conducive to a peaceful experience. First off, she listened attentively to my issues and what I was and was not looking for in a RMT. She completely respected everything I said and got to work. It turned out we are both musicians, so we had a nice chat about that for one thing, and another was that she then understood the muscular and overuse issues I have. On a strictly personal note, I loved that she played more acoustic, Americana, folky music rather than the usual New Age jam that a lot of RMTs play. That is purely a personal preference of mine and I'm betting she can accommodate if that's what you prefer. Sheilah was definitely worth the drive from Cary for me.

Amazing massage!…read more After buying a Groupon for a 90-minute massage, I reached out to Sheilah to book an appointment. I was not sure what to expect, booking with a Groupon, but my experience was great! Sheilah called me back that day and booked me for an appointment within a week. I liked that she sent text messages to confirm and remind me about my appointment. Sheilah was even more wonderful in person. Her massage practice is located upstairs in a beautiful home. The room itself was peaceful, and comfortable, and had lots of natural night. Birds chirped outside the window. At the beginning of the appointment, Sheilah took some time to get to know me, and learn what I wanted to get out of the massage. Her approach was different than any massage I've experienced. When she started the massage, she offered some spoken words, like a yoga instructor, guiding me to a more relaxed place. I found myself following along, and breathing more slowly. As she continued, I started to let go and relax. The massage was like a restorative mediation. When I left, I felt better in my body than I had felt in months! The intense muscle tightness and aches in my neck and shoulders were gone, and a day later, I still feel the benefits. What an extraordinary massage experience-thank you Sheilah!

Just got finished with a couples massage, and it was fantastic!…read more I've gotten massages a handful of times in my time, but don't recall ever having a bad experience, but this one seemed better than those. This spa has only been in business for about two months, and my wife and I partook in a couples Swedish massage. I didn't catch anyone's name, but it seems like Mark was most likely my masseuse based on reviews here and on Google. He is definitely skilled at his trade. He was putting the right pressure, and it was extremely relaxing with the nice elevator music and massage oils on top. Very clean place and he was very welcoming and cordial and would make sure you were enjoying yourself throughout the service. The business is located in mediocre looking strip mall in Durham, which gave us some hesitancy, but don't let that sway you. This is probably the place my wife will come back to when she craving some R&R

Found The Ruby Spa on Yelp and wanted to try them. The hard part was scheduling using there chatbot messaging system when you call and the limitation was you can only schedule same day and not ahead of time. We did get an appointment later in the day and was very happy with the massage provided. The techniques described by the other reviewers is correct and I was surprised that I had areas that I did not know were issues! For those that used the massage place at Southpoint Mall, The Ruby Spa is similar! Both of us felt the massages provided by The Ruby Spa is one of the best in the area!

She is kind, patient, and listens to her clients needs, and type of massage desired. Her fees are "time" based, not on the style of massage. She's happy to recommend type of massage, or in my case, desired deep tissue. After initial chat, left it in her hands to decide best course of action. MARTINA went above and beyond, with deep tissue massage, inclusion of hot stones; incorporating hip movement identifying addional area for deeper therapy. And her foot massages are just dreamy!

The place is a bit hard to find - it's like 4 buildings back from Six Forks Road - with the buildings on Six Forks labeled 83xx and 85xx. I had my appointment with Aimee - who specializes in Lymphedema massage. I was looking for something a bit more deep (tissue) but since I've never had a Lymphedema massage I decided to go for it. And I was glad I did. Aimee worked out all the knots that I had - and afterwards my body didn't hurt as it sometimes does from deep tissue. The ambiance is very nice as well. So overall a very nice place to get a massage - and with a Groupon even more so The only problem is getting an appointment that fits into my schedule - with only two therapists - and both of them quite specialized the wait can be quite long.
