I wish I knew her name and I'd recommend her on here, too. Anyway, Gail Bauer of Essential Kneads almost pushed that girl off my pedastal... but now she just sits up there with her... and probably because the first girl has sentimental value associated with her being it was my honeymoon. Gail is an amazing massage therapist! She listens to what you want, is very knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable, and knows how to apply pressure! I met Gail when she did a demo at a Belk Department Store event in mid 2011. She won me over when she about knocked me out of her demo chair! I knew right away that she wasn't timid about working tight muscles and could get in there and work out those kinks. I booked a full body massage at her introductory rate which I thought was very reasonable. Her facility is a little tricky to find, but once you get there, the lobby is spacious and comfortable with her massage room down a short corridor and behind substantial noise barriers. There was a party going on at another tenants office, but I wasn't disturbed by the occassional belly laughs that filtered through the walls. The music was soothing, the room was decorated nicely and was very clean. There was plenty of space for Gail to easily move around the table as she worked without bumping or jarring me in any way. Her lotions smelled nice without being overwhelming. She is polite and communicates whe she is doing/about to do without being annoying about it (i.e. tell me, but I don't need a play by play). I feel like for the introductory price (which I think was $49) and for the level of pressure I received, I got an amazing deal. I like a LOT of pressure and she delivered. I highly recommend her, even if pressure isn't your thing. She massaged my husband a few weeks ago, and he's not as in to deep tissue as I am. He loved it. Thanks, Gail!!

I walked in and was greeted by what felt like someone's home. it was so cozy and didn't feel pretentious. I filled out a few sheets of paper with various questions. Suzanne greeted me and introduced herself while she walked me back to a room. Suzanne talked and questioned with intent and had one mission... to make me feel better. Suzanne spoke to me the whole time and checked in with what hurt and what didn't. Suzanne knows what made this massage so life changing for me. I pray people make the right decision and come see Suzanne when they have pain... I've never seen someone care so much about what they do. No, seriously, she CARES. however, don't come here thinking it's a Hotel Spa. This is the LEGIT stuff. 10/10

I workout and historically I'm bad at stretching which leads to tight muscles. I also hold stress in my neck/shoulders and have lower back pain. Without me even having to state any of this, Ruby was able to tell this herself. She loosened up YEARS worth of tension and shared how certain parts of the body were connected to others and that's why I was experiencing pain/tightness in those areas. I was definitely sore for several days afterwards, but I also felt looser and lighter than I have before - even after other massages I've had at other places. Ruby is no nonsense and tells it like it is - and that's exactly what I need and what I was looking for. This is my second massage with Ruby, with my third one already booked and I convinced my sister to book one as well. Reservations: Marietta Massage does not take walk-ins. You have to call (not able to book online) to make an appointment. Parking: Marietta Massage has 2 dedicated parking spots (92, 93) in the paid lot right next to their building. It's free to park there during your appointment so don't pay at the meter!

I was about to go on vacation, and my back muscles were a bit tight. I had been thinking about…read moregetting a massage for a while, since it had been over a year, and this business was right across South Cobb Drive from the Planet Fitness that I usually go to. I did check the Yelp reviews, and there were 6 non-recommended reviews. Even though the reviews were not recommended, they generally seemed positive. Since I had very little time left before my vacation, I decided to give the place a try. When I walked in, there was only one person working, and luckily they were available to give me a massage. They had a menu of services listed on the desk. A regular one hour massage is $70, but I decided to go for the one hour deep tissue massage for $80. One odd thing is that I had to pay for the massage up front, however, I was still able to add a tip after the service. Every massage place has a different style, including this place. You never really know what to expect the first time you go. The massage began without the use of oil, but it still felt fine. A lot of pressure was used, but I expected that with a deep tissue massage. Even though I had gone to the chiropractor three hours earlier, one part of my spine between my shoulder blades popped back into place during the beginning of the massage. It must have been out of place for months, and I'm not sure why the chiropractor didn't address it. Various pressure points were used during the massage, and it definitely helped my muscles to relax, even though parts of a deep tissue massage are not always comfortable. I was asked at various points if I was doing fine and if the pressure was good. I've had many massages over the years, and I could tell that the person had a lot of massage experience. At the end of the massage, I could tell that I felt relaxed. Any tight spots that I had were gone. For the next two days, I noticed that the area between my shoulder blades felt different. My spine must have been out of alignment for so long, that my muscles were readjusting. It has now been a week and a half after my massage. I still feel good, and my spine has held the adjustment. I plan to get a massage at least monthly, and I will come back to this place. I would recommend calling ahead to make sure that they have availability. I was very lucky that I walked in at the right time with no appointment.

At that location, I was given a form asking about problem areas, the therapist discussed what needed attention, and the massage felt customized to me. That was not my experience here. When I arrived, I was simply asked how long I wanted the massage to be, and I was charged immediately. After that, there was very little communication. I was shown to a clean but sparse room, and the massage began without any discussion of pressure, problem areas, or what I was hoping to get from the session. The massage itself was relaxing enough, but it felt very generic. Most of the time was spent on my back and legs, with no particular attention given to areas that actually needed it. I teach and train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, so my hands often hurt and could have used extra work, but since the therapist barely spoke to me, that never came up. My hands received only a few seconds of attention each. The room was clean, but there was no noticeable aromatherapy or anything else that made the experience feel especially calming. The music was also on a very short loop, which became distracting after hearing the same song repeatedly. I left feeling slightly more relaxed, but the experience did not feel personalized and was not comparable to other massages I've had at a similar price. It was not terrible, but it was disappointing and not something I would return for.
