To avoid five-year federal expiration prohibition on gift cards, they create this membership and my service apparently expired after 12 months if I stopped continuing paying monthly fee. It was a treat from my husband after postpartum when he book the reservation. Not knowing fully what I signed up for while I was busy filling out these paperwork for new client and body worksheet. Receptionist pursuit to sale these memberships saving --- where I definitely remember her stating you can pause it anytime - the service will not expire and will stay on the account. Knowing the service will stay on the account, I signed up for this membership. I'm a busy mother working from home full time, breastfeeding, and caring for my child thus no time to treat myself so I pause my membership after 3 months. Now that I came back to the business because I'm almost due again in June to treat myself. The receptionist not only denied of my credit but print out a statement (highlighted for me to see) -- that should've been highlighted to begin with for clients -- these service will expire after 12 months. This is such a shame for a business to do this especially when it's a treat for someone to do these services and it wasn't like I'm asking it for free. These are services I paid in advance and it was misleading to not inform your receptionist to emphasize on the terms instead of making a sale that's it's never expire and will remain on the account. I had a peace of mind signing up for the membership knowing I can use it anytime and knowing my right. I not only walk away from the business feeling unappreciated and cheated but also upset by the way it was informed back to me why the service expired by throwing a printout and highlighted the terms and conditions. Obviously, I didn't have time to read these terms and conditions when you get rushed into a massage session with a bunch of new client paperwork to fill out where your needs to be focus on instead I trust the words of a receptionist when they made sale of the membership. At the end of the day, what I want was services I already paid and it's wrong for business to find these loopholes to not obligated to the law.

It's unfortunate that I'm writing this bad review because Petrina seemed like a nice person…read more I will take some responsibility in my bad experience because I'm not very vocal about what I want (or don't want) - though there are some universal massage etiquette/rules that were thrown out the window. I have to be honest that the massage experience was one of worst I've had because: 1) She was almost 20 min late to the appointment. As in she wasn't there at all because she was held up in traffic. 2) 90% of my massage was done while bright white fluorescent office lights were on. This was not only odd but made the experience not relaxing. The bright office light was on until I turned over on my back, then she turned off the light and a side lamp was the source of light. The room was pretty dark since the room didn't have a dimmer and therefor it's not the best room for massages for that reason. 3) I was supposed to get a deep tissue. I like A LOT of pressure but this massage was not a massage at all. I was basically oiled up because there was absolutely no pressure. The aches and pains I hoped would be relieved were not and made the time (and money albeit discounted via a Groupon deal) spent there a big waste. 4) Petrina talked THE WHOLE time. Sometimes she talked with hand gestures - you can't massage and gesture at the same time. I will not be going back and cannot recommend this place. There is a 5 star review so maybe my experience was an anomaly. I'm curious so I hope others write a review.

Whenever we have someone in town, we book a massage. It's a win-win and everyone looks forward to it. I wish I had their picture post massage when they've transcended for the first time haha. Anyway, Kevin and staff are always warm, professional, and welcoming. We've had Erika and Wendy the last two times and will be requesting them by name. No doubt everyone does a great a gob. We book the couples massage typically and it runs about $105 for 90 minutes. Sometimes there are coupons, but either way, you can't beat that deal. Especially since they are so receptive to feedback and adjusting. This is also a mix of Thai and traditional- our favorite style of massage.

My first experience was okay, so I decided to give it another try. The masseuse was kind; however, I was uncomfortable with the amount of pressure used. She pushed directly on my spine/backbone, which I have never experienced at any other massage place. I had to ask her not to massage that area. She also massaged my neck very aggressively. I asked her to use lighter pressure multiple times (at least three times for different areas of my body). In some areas, the pressure then became too light, but overall the pressure felt inconsistent. I regularly get massages, including deep tissue massages, and have tried many different places, so this experience felt unusual to me. It has been almost a week, and I am still feeling sore. I was also told that the boss instructed her to massage me strongly, which was not something I requested. Unfortunately, instead of feeling relaxed, I left feeling uncomfortable. While the staff were kind, this experience was not a good fit for me, and I don't think I will be returning.
