I saw Aiyana Holistic Healing & Massage in a Groupon and it had been at least a year since my last…read moremassage so I figured I would give it a try. I am happy I did. Lauren was welcoming and very easy to speak to. She greeted me with a smile and we both sat down to discuss any issues I was having. She was accommodating with questions regarding the temperature of the room/table as well as pressure. I recommend her to anyone wanting a positive experience for relaxation and de-stressing. Note: I could have saved myself an embarrassing phone call requesting directions if I had read the profile a little more carefully. Suite S is what you're looking for.

I initially met with Lauren for an intuitive massage, which was fabulous. After finishing the…read moremassage, Lauren mentioned she received a lot of information and asked if I was willing to hear it. I told her I was, and boy did she blow me away. She brought up some of my soul misalignments which I was aware of, and connected them to some I was not aware of. I had been blocked in several areas of my life, and Lauren help to shed light on these areas. I quickly signed up for a 2 month life-coach program, which I have since renewed for an additional 3 months. Lauren is a life-coach/mentor/spiritual healer all wrapped into one. I have worked with other spiritual healers and Lauren is very different, in that she is mostly there to provide support for my soul while I do the work. She does some energy healing/clearing/chakra balancing, but only after her clients do their own work for several months. She does not "fix" her clients, she simply guides, supports and holds space. She has generated wonderful practitioner/client boundaries, and is still available whenever needed. Lauren is advanced in her practices and it did take me a month or two to get fully settled into the program, and understand her guidance. Now that I am fully comfortable, I am really enjoying the work and have experienced major shifts. Lauren combines the perfect amount of tough love and soft love, and provides a gentle kick in the pants when necessary. It is important to keep in mind you must be willing to do the work when working with Lauren. You will not be "fixed" or "healed", you will be doing it yourself, which is makes everything even more gratifying. I highly recommend Lauren for spiritual work and life coaching.

Wow! Amber at Omra Bodywork is amazing! This was the best massage that I have had in Asheville…read more Her studio is comfortable and has great ambience. The location is close to downtown and has it's own parking area. I went to Amber because I was having some intense neck pains. She spent almost the entire hour working on that part of my body trying to help relieve the pain. I really appreciated how she went back and forth between using hot and cold temperatures and she seemed very present during the whole massage. She used a nice pressure and seemed to be very in tune with my body and my muscles. I felt SO much better after the massage and was completely relaxed. I can't wait to go back again.

My review in short: Omra gave me the best massage I've ever had and offers a great value…read more -------------------- I'm not a person that pampers themselves regularly, but when I feel my body starting to break down with strange aches and pains I typically whine about it until my wife urges me to go see a masseuse. I had exhausted all of my groupon options for cheap(er) massages and I took to Yelp to find a great local body work practitioner. Omra was a page back, but I really liked the sound and look of the place so I decided to schedule myself an appointment. Amber, my masseuse, scheduled me an appointment within three days of my call, which I'm sure you know around here is a big deal, some places are booked out for weeks ahead of schedule. She was willing to fit me in on the end of one of her standard scheduled days, so I was grateful before I even stepped foot through the door. Omra is located at a great space with an actual parking lot. Man, that is awesome. Up a couple of flights of stairs in a large shared building and you enter a magically relaxing room. It's cozy as cozy can be. It doesn't feel sterile, it feels loved, and well maintained. There's decorations all around the room that give this place a homey charm. It's like being invited into someone's house. Thoroughly relaxing. I'd love to give you the play by play of my 75 minute massage, but the fact is, it kind of knocked me out. I was put into this kind of weird half awake half dream state, where the massage felt like the longest, and most brief thing that has ever happened. The amount of pressure was perfect, even when I thought I wanted a bit more pressure to work out some sort of knot or twist I felt within my muscles I felt them relaxing and easing up. Super pleasant. I can't say enough nice things about Amber and Omra Bodywork. Truly. I've always ping ponged between places offering groupons, which I'm sure were a way to get me in the door of many of the spas, sanctuaries, and massage houses here in Asheville, but I never felt connected to them. Their rates without the groupon were well out of my budget. However, my full priced treatment at Omra was only slightly more than I've spent on deals at other places in the past, including the tip! I don't look forward to the next time that I need a massage, but at least I feel confident knowing that I have a prefered source of aid and relief when I do.

A divine healing experience!…read more I have been seeing Dee for weekly massages for several months now because she is simply the best massage therapist in my experience. Her new office space on Broadway near downtown AVL offers poetic space imbued with physical beauty, divine meaning, and a sense of inner peace. While her techniques are the best ever for me in terms of focused relief of aches and pains, Dee is more deeply a doctor of the soul! For me, it's like therapy that goes beyond words and conveys her personal presence in a way that heals my body and elevates my soul. Traditional massage focuses on relief for achy muscles, but Dee offers her intuitive self in a way that mediates divine healing, energy, and tranquility beyond what I have ever experienced from traditional massage modalities. We have brief intake and post-session discussions to make sure we're on the same page, and Dee always tweaks what she does based on our conversations. Ample parking, affordable prices, and her new centralized location are all practical perks too!

I cannot recommend Tifphanie enough! I originally reached out during a migraine episode and she was…read moreincredibly accommodating with her scheduling to get me in for relief. That session alone made a massive difference in my recovery. Beyond her flexibility, her expertise in craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage is evident. I've noticed significant improvement in my hip alignment - I can see and feel the difference in my drop foot. Just because it's more gentle than a a traditional deep-tissue massage doesn't mean it isn't effective. You will definitely leave feeling like you've had a full massage. Allow yourself to lean into the relaxation for both the physical and emotional relief it brings. If you're looking for a therapist who is highly skilled and genuinely attentive to your specific needs, I would call Tifphanie as soon as you can!

The pain was disabling and I was desperate. After one session with Tifphanie, I was better. After a car accident weeks later, I had whiplash and was unable to sleep. Once again, Tifphanie was able to bring about significant improvements after one session. Tifphanie is incredibly adept at various modalities of bodywork. I am in awe of her humility and the serene intuitiveness that guides her. I have experienced profound healing from the cranio-sacral and energy work and strongly recommend her to anyone with acute issues, as well as chronic health challenges or PTSD. It has been a gift to know and work with Tifphanie.
