Neither of us had massages before and cannot express how amazing the experience was! Michael and Travis asked us what are problem areas were prior to the massage and explained the process in great detail. The hour massage was not long enough!

High recommend and will definitely be back next time we are in Asheville!

My best friend and I had a lovely time soaking at Shoji Retreat! This charming spa is in a forest…read moreoasis. They suggested we arrive 30 minutes prior to our scheduled soak. The day we went seemed to be short staffed, so things took longer than expected, but our experience overall was great. When they were ready for us, they guided us to the fitting rooms with showers. We were given shoes, robes, towels, and tote bags. There are no official lockers here, so you are welcome to take your tote with you into your private bath. The fitting room had everything you needed. When we were ready we had another long wait, but were invited to enjoy the sauna. They gave us refreshing mint iced washcloths for the sauna that I loved. They have a menu with a bunch of great add-ons, I decided to stick with the water, but my best friend got the coconut water. When our bath was ready, they showed us a map on how to get down to our soak. We walked down a beautiful hill path to our bath overlooking the forest. Even though we started late, they still gave us the full hour. The intercom system seems to be a bit older. There was an awkward moment where they tried to speak to us, but we couldn't hear them over the hot tub bubbles, when I went back to ask them what they said, they never replied. Besides that, we had a wonderful time. Be mindful that the drive up is a bit confusing, you'll want to do a mix of following their signs and your GPS. The experience is also a bit pricey for what it is, but I'm still glad I tried it with my best friend.

You can even stay overnight in their on site Japanese inspired lodges surrounded by quiet mountain forest. I experienced the tea side hot tubs outside and I didn't want to leave it was my favorite part of the experience along with the Savasana & Chea Massage Pods. I really feel liked I died and went to heaven in those chairs . If you are looking for a truly peaceful place that's great to visit even solo I say this one should be at the top of your list .

I had suggested we try tantra, and she was apprehensivly open to the idea. I desided to just go for it. I called Tantric Retreat and the phone was answered by Jess. We immediately had some sort of connection and my wife and she had alot of past history in common. I sheepishly told my wife about my conversation and asked her to call Jess. She was very nervous but Jess answered her questions and concerns. My wife said to book it. We spent 2 days at Denise and John's home 3, 3hr sessions were booked. Turned into 2, 3hrs a 2 hr, and they added an extra hour the next morning. Denise gave us a yoga session just because. My wife had always wanted me to do that with her. They have a temple in their basement for your pesonal quarters. However they welcome you freely in the other area of their home. These people are so open and welcoming, tailor the sessions to your specific needs. The sessions were amazing and have brought my wife and i so much closer together. No turmoil, tension, or stress in our home any longer. We built a sacred space in our home in the days after we departed. We use it daily before we go to work and meditate together. And most days, the evenings for the more adventurous aspects. These people truly changed our lives and relationship in a way i never dreamed possible. I would recommend them without reservation to any couple that wants to take their relationship to a level they never thought possible, or needs to resolve past issues and heal. It will do both. Its not all about sex, and nothing out of your comfort zone happens or is discussed with your practitioner. Those issues and things are called homework. Do it! It works if you give it your all. My wife and i no longer have hallway sex, but are studying for a doctorate in happiness, bliss, and ecstasy. Just go for it, life changing
