I called Patrassage, left a message and Patra immediately returned my call. She was able to work us both in that day! The location is perfect in San Marco.

Dan and Mariana Watson bring their considerable combined training and experience to the table to…read moredeliver a unique and luxurious therapeutic experience. I was gifted a session with them by a friend who was intrigued by the idea of a four-handed massage. At first I was a bit distracted trying to track whose hands were doing what, but I gave that up soon enough and surrendered to the duet. These two are well attuned, so that even when working asynchronously--e.g. one doing trigger points on my neck/shoulders, the other, Swedish on my legs--their energies blend. The quality of their individual and combined touch is informed by caring, intuitive knowing, and skill. Which meant I could relax. As an energy-sensitive former bodywork practitioner, quality of touch is my sine qua non. Bonus #1: Dan and Mariana work from their beautiful home in a wooded cul-de-sac. Their beautifully appointed healing room is the most spacious I've ever seen, and their table has all the comforts--including double-thick upholstery on the face cradle so that one's cheek or brow isn't pressing painfully into the wooden base. I had a hard time peeling myself off that 20- square-foot piece of heaven at the end. Bonus #2: They take the time beforehand to interview their clients about health issues, touch preferences, expectations, and goals for the session. Afterwards, they took additional time with me to talk about their evolution over the years as students of the healing arts. Finally, some days later they followed up with a warm email of appreciation, making additional health-related suggestions and attaching several pages of illustrated trigger point work I could practice at home. Wow. Talk about going the extra mile. So yes, I highly recommend The Massage Duo. In fact, I'm gifting a session back to the friend who gifted me.

I have been receiving massage for over 45 years and I feel that Mariana was definitley one of the…read morebest therapists I have ever experienced. She was accurate with her finding the tight spots and massaging them out. Many massage people just do the standard and slide over the tissue, but Mariana really worked to get the tissue to relax. My neck and body felt so much better afterwards, and I slept really well that night. It was both therapeutic and relaxing. I highly recommend her without hesitation. Truly gifted and I am thankful I found her. She also took the time to followed up with a great email that addressed some things I could do on my own and things that would benefit me. Very caring and generous.

I must say as a guy, going to a Yoga studio is intimidating. I was worried I wouldn't be comfortable trying to contort my body in ways I had never moved in. I was amazed how supportive the instructor was and how easy it was to find accommodations to the movements without interrupting the rest of the class. This studio is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

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.
