She leaves you feeling better than when you walked in. She offers so many services too which have been great for me & also great gifts to give to others! It's hard finding a real massage professional like her out here & I'm so happy I did! I always give her a good tip too because besides being the best in town, she's also mom & grandmother & likes to spoil them along with being a small business owner. Always support the good ones! They're hard to find! Highly recommend!

I still 100% recommend Paradise Found for a spa day and look forward to my next visit.

I scheduled an appointment with Jacqueline, and really appreciated their online scheduling system and weekend availability. The spa itself is in an unassuming location - right at the end of a strip mall - but it is clean and welcoming indoors. The massage was probably one of the best of my life, Jacqueline was extremely accommodating and able to pinpoint any pain. I plan on returning!

I was quickly greeted by the friendly lady working at the front desk and let her know of the Gift Certificate. She asked if I wanted to purchase any Add-Ons but I politely declined. I waited about 5 mins for the masseuse to prepare and once he was ready, he beckoned me in. I've had a couple of foot massages in the past so I knew what to expect. I was given a basket to place my shoes and belongings in and placed my feet in the warm water while Ale, the masseuse, put a warm towel across me. He worked on my upper body first for about 20-25 mins. He focused on the pressure points in my head and massaged my neck and back. He then started on my lower legs and feet for the remainder of the session. I did ask for "medium" pressure but there were times that I had to move my legs a bit to hint that the pressure was a bit too hard, almost painful even. Once Ale got the hint, he softened up a bit and I throughly enjoyed the rest of the foot massage. The soft music, warm towel and dim lights made for a relaxing ambiance and I definitely dozed off a bit lol. Foot massages are beneficial for pain relief, stress relief and improved circulation, among other great benefits, so if you are experiencing any of those issues, definitely head over to Relax the Feet.

I booked online which was very easy. I had 2 Groupons which were no problem to use for my sister and I. We were early but they took us right away. When you walk back into the room, it is immediate feeling of relaxation. The dimmed lights, the music....it's so peaceful. You sit in your chair and they have a basket to put your shoes in. NO CELL PHONES! Turn them down and put them away! They soak your feet and you get a massage while that is happening. I definitely was doing the head nod when I kept falling asleep. The foot massage...the hot stones. It was all wonderful. And when you are done and walk out they DO NOT ask about membership or anything!! I was so surprised but they do text you later. But I love that they do not ruin the vibe. It's pretty much a $1 a minute. They have 40, 60 and 90 minute sessions. But then they have the big kahuna which is 120 minutes for $120. And if you want an escape from work they have them during the week, during lunch for $5 off the regular price. Highly recommend. I do have questions though - maybe you can help. What do you tip??????? I left $20. Is that too much, not enough or just right? It was worth every penny.

Here's the bad, it was much more of an hour long foot rub than reflexology. I went to school for massage therapy with many hours of reflexology training. The young lady that rubbed my feet gave me a touch of the modality on my toes, but nothing even resembling reflexology on any other part of my feet. I was especially disappointed by the lack of work on the soles of my feet. To top things off, I offered an adequate tip (over 10%) based off the massage I was given and the therapist asked for more. It was very uncomfortable and off putting. Needless to say, I've had better and will not be returning. Quality of care did not impress.

For my birthday month, I decided to dedicate each Friday to a self-care/self-love activity. My…read morefirst stop was Pint of Peace, located in the Lynnhaven North shopping center. I was specifically intrigued by their beer baths, and after researching the benefits, I decided to try one. I initially attempted to book online, but while the site mentioned a 50% deposit, it required 100% payment upfront, so I called to finalize the reservation. I used a 20% discount since it was my first-time booking. I decided to schedule the Brewing Calm Immersion, my session included 20 minutes in the sauna, a 60-minute massage, and a 60-minute soak. When I arrived, the owner greeted me and showed me my bath soak options: Hops Brew, Barley Blend, or Chai soak. I decided to try the hops brew which was a blend of hops, brewers yeast, malt, oats and Epsom salt. I also chose Eucalyptus, my favorite aromatherapy, for the diffuser used during my bath. After that I selected my drink from a selection of beer, wine and non-alcoholic options, which was also served during my bath. After making all my selections, I was escorted to a private room where, I changed into the robe and slippers they provided. They also provide access to Lockers with keys for you to secure your valuables.   My Experience  Sauna- Before entering they gave me a cup of ice water. I love the fact that I had the ability to adjust the temperature and lighting. However I wished there was some music in the background because sitting in silence for 20 minutes felt very long. Massage- I found the massage relaxing; however, the Pressure was hit or miss and I also feel like certain areas were neglected like my feet and head. Beer bath/soak - My favorite part of the day.  They pre-steeped the brew so the ingredients were already activated. I was originally concerned that the bath water wasn't going to be warm enough but I had 100% control of the temperature. When you enter the room they already have music playing and I had the ability to change the genre if I wanted. They also provide you with 2 large ice cube for you to massage your face and cool you down if you get too hot. After they get you all set up they dim the lights which was the final step in setting the relaxing mood. The Soaking tub was huge and I was just sinking into it. Loved, loved, loved it! Overall I truly enjoyed my time spent & experience at Pint and Peace. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a day of pampering and I am looking forward to returning for another soak. This was a great kick off to my birthday month of self-care.

We did the sauna treatment, 60 minute massage, and bath and it was AMAZING! When we arrived, we got to choose our bath treatment - there were 3 options. Since I've never had a beer bath, that was what I chose. We also got the option of tea, wine, beer, or water for our bath. We also got to choose an essential oil for the diffuser during our bath. After making our choices, we changed into robes and went into the sauna. From there, we got 60 minute massages, and mine was AMAZING! I asked for firm pressure, and that's exactly what I got! After our massages, it was bath time. It was really neat because the treatment is actually in a bag that you put into the tub. It isn't beer but the dry ingredients that go into beer I'm guessing. I loved that they cut off the big lights and there's the option of a small switch light. There is also meditation music and the diffuser that adds to the relaxation. They also give you 2 big ice cubes to use on your face, neck, or just to simply cool the water if needed. I used on my face, and it felt SO good. I like that we had our baths in separate rooms but were able to move the sliding divider in the wall if we wanted so that we could still talk to each other! This was a 2 hour experience and I would definitely do it again. It was the perfect way to relax with a friend or take some time to yourself for a little self care!

If you are familiar with this part of Norfolk, you probably know that parking in this side of town can sometimes be challenge. There are about 4 parking spaces in front of the building or you can park across from it on the street. Booking was very simple and straight forward. Be prepared to pay for the service in it's entirety when booking. If you are booking as a couple, your guest will need to fill out the intake form in person because the online booking only allowed me to fill out one. Loved decor here. The Seafoam green gives it a nice touch and it matches their website. Super clean in here too. I had to use the restroom before we entered the sauna and I was very pleased with how neat and tidy it was We were directed to our room for the infared sauna. There are plenty of towels and robes for guests. I loved the sauna, it was really nice and relaxing for the both of us. The only thing that I didn't like was the little draft at the bottom of the door. This prevented the temperature from going up, but other than that, I felt amazing after. We will definitely be back.

I received the Standard Plus facial from Kailey back on July 3. It. was. everything. Kailey knows her stuff. Once I had changed and Kailey adjusted my headband I received a brief aromatherapy treatment. I've gotten plenty of facials before but this was the first time any aesthetician has ever done that. She placed the oil on her wrists and had me breathe deeply in and out before starting my service. It was the perfect touch because if you're like me, you're probably rushing to your appointments. My facial was amazing. This was my first service with Kailey but it won't be my last. She examined my skin before she began. I loved the fact that she answered all my questions and even gave my suggestions for different services to look into during the winter months. Extractions are always a love-hate experience for me but all of the congestion from my face was removed and my skin was so soft when I left. During the facial Kailey and I chatted about other treatments that would be great for my skin, how often I should be receiving facials, and my at-home routine. I'd also like to add that Kailey is a product wiz! When we were quarantined she helped me revamp my entire skin routine. I think we all dealt with maskne but I also believe my diet and stress caused my skin to go into panic or something. Kailey and I texted and talked over the phone about my skin and its needs. My whole regimen got a much-needed facelift and my skin is doing so much better. Anytime she recommends something for me (and no she doesn't sell products so no gimmicks there) I get it! Since then I have had minimal (and I mean minimal) breakouts and the texture of my skin has improved drastically. We're currently working on tone and hyperpigmentation and I'm excited to see those results. I'll be returning for another facial with Kailey at Get Well Soon the next time I'm back home. Check her out, your skin will thank you!
