Kimberly at Mantis Massage is amazing. She's welcoming and has a calm energy that really helped me…read morefeel comfortable with my first massage in a few years. She is very skilled in Ashiatsu and was able to adjust her pressure intuitively, keeping the massage both therapeutic and enjoyable throughout. The facility was clean and has a lovely, light scent (nothing overwhelming or strong). I really appreciated the available robe that allowed me a quick restroom visit after I'd already undressed. There was ample parking and I appreciated the added security of their policy to keep the door locked so only those with appointments are let in. I highly recommend Mantis Massage generally, and Kimberly specifically for anyone needing an experienced and healing touch.

The inside is relaxing and dark with soothing sounds. They also use aromatherapy, hot stones, and these cool vibrating sound making discs that they place on your body. I felt so relaxed and loose afterwards! I really wish I remembered the names of masseuses. The tea, wine, and chocolate they offer you after are nice. It was $265 for a 60 minute couples massage + 20% tip.

GARBAGE. Absolute and utter garbage. This place should not be in business…read more Prelude: Came here in the evening before a movie * 60 minute massage * walked in on while undressing * walked in on while getting on the table * walked in on while getting redressed * 50 minutes were focused on the posterior (back 40 min, hamstrings (5 min) /calves (5 min). * flipped over on back, weird chest/stomach/quad tickle. * asked what else for the last 10 min; guess the entire anterior (front) doesn't matter in massage here. ??? * flipped over again, 10 minutes on back of neck * DONE * complained about the tip that was left to myself and rest of the staff while walking out. Side note: I'm a certified massage therapist since 2012. I get terrible massages are a thing but half the body neglected is shameful. Guaranteed this spot is not licensed.

So, first I must say I appreciate that they try and accommodate walk-ins. I needed a massage and…read moremy regular provider was a bit far away, I did not want to drive - so stopped in here. My regular massage is $60 an hour- as are most asian massage places - so figured it would be the same or close to it. Well, I should have checked- as once done - and they had my credit card ( no price list was visable ) - I was told that it was $80 with a credit card surcharge of a buck or 2. I am like " OK...I did not know this" but agreed...fine, right?. Then she turns to me about my tip. Let me say - I am very generous and always leave a 40 or 50 dollar tip for an hour as the massages are relatively cheap for what you get - and they work hard; if it is good it is worth it its how I feel. I was informed that my $40 was not adequate...Umm ..this is a TIP people !!....so at this point I knew I was getting "rolled" - haha - Honesty, I just wanted to leave and not be rifled anymore. So I gave in for another $20 and left. This is sad because they were friendly enough on entry - and the massage was very good. The massause was talented and I would definitely recommend the service. However, I am just not happy about the business practices. I will continue to see my regular lady- even though this place is closer to home. I would have been a long time customer as I am pretty loyal, but not to be.

Never again. First off, the massage itself was pretty good…read more The masseuse had strong hands and appeared to be pretty well trained. What I didn't enjoy, was the constant interruptions. Two phone calls, which she happily took, and five visits to the front door as other people arrived. Obviously very understaffed. Also, this place should've spent a little bit of money on soundproofing. I could hear all sorts of jibber, jabber conversations, which was very offputting. My massage started at 11:15 and even though I paid for an hour, with five interruptions plus the two phone calls. I was out the door by 12:35. That's not an hour. Save your money, find a better place. I know I'm going to.

If you like deep tissue massages with hot stones (and I mean deep), you're going to love this…read moreplace. I asked for a *gentle* 1-hour Swedish massage with hot stones, but due to the language barrier, I was assigned to a male therapist who gave me what I can only describe as a full-throttle deep tissue session. Right now, At 7:33 AM the next morning, I'm still recovering. I can't even sit back on the couch. Ouch. To be fair: the massage itself was very good... if that's the intensity you're looking for. But I didn't request deep tissue, and despite trying to clarify mid-massage, the language disconnect made it difficult to adjust. Most of the time was spent on my back and lower waist, and I'll be blunt...there's a level of close contact here that not everyone will be comfortable with. In the process of maneuvering around the table and working deeply, there were moments of full-body proximity that included unintentional contact with the masseuse's more... PERSONAL areas. It wasn't lewd or inappropriate, just a side effect of close-quarters bodywork. But if you're squeamish about that kind of thing, this may not be your spot. BUT NOW...let me sing the praises of the hot stones. Truly the highlight. They're included with the massage and offer soothing, deep heat without burning. After the intense pressure of the deep tissue work I didn't ask for, the stones were a welcomed slice of heaven. I'd come back just for those alone. I could do this part every single day. In short: this place delivers a strong, effective massage...but be clear and very specific about what you want, and understand that the language barrier may require a bit of patience. Also, prepare for full-body immersion ***in every sense***. Body parts may touch but they are simply doing their job. Enjoy.
