They took my friend who was visiting last minute for a massage. You should be aware that this place is a one woman show who will answer the phone during your treatment. I can appreciate keeping down costs, but my friend was a bit put-off by this practice. Also, the room is not your traditional zen-like spa atmosphere. It's located on a back road of Kaka'ako near auto shops and other loud businesses which distracts from the relaxation that you hope to achieve. Cost is very affordable which bumps up the star rating. Just know what you're getting in to before you book! read more

This review is based solely on my boyfriends experience here. My boyfriend went here twice and loved both sessions! My boyfriend golfs, workouts on a daily basis, and recently dislocated his shoulder. His therapist asked exactly where his complaints were and did an excellent job working on his problem areas. I made a last minute reservation on Saturday for a 90 minute session. They booked my boyfriend at 5-630pm. On Saturdays, they close at 6pm, but was able to accommodate us! Awesome! read more

I love this place because you can usually get a decent massage at a moment's notice. I love the hours and the proximity to my place and ease of parking. Maria is great and I can see why people ask for her on a regular basis! The therapists seems to be a bit hit or miss after that. I've worked with another pretty good therapist and one that was AWFUL. She climbed on top of me without asking, argued with me about what type of massage I wanted, and jerked my limbs around when I let her know I had herniated discs and needed a little care taken. She also talked to me about inappropriate subjects like my relationship status and her sex life. Ick. I'm pretty introverted with new people so I didn't feel like I could speak up. The place is a little funky and sometimes it's too cold (just sheets on the massage table). I also feel like they tend to focus mostly on backs and miss out on other areas (my quads have definitely gotten short shrift and I'm a runner/swimmer and need work on them!). I know that's my thing to raise, but I haven't gotten comfortable enough yet to voice that. I do plan to go back and hope to get more good massages. Mahalo! read more

So let's start out with the obvious; this is NOT A SPA or fancy place by any stretch of the imagination. The location alone can make you not get out of your car and drive away......BUT DON'T! Get out of the car, walk around the back and up the stairs and be prepared for some serious body work. The BF and I had just spent 4 days powering on packing and cleaning my 4/3 home for a move to Kailua-Kona from Oahu. We never thought we would hurt in so many places by doing the work ourselves. By day 5, I could no longer listen to his moaning and groaning so I decided to find us a place for a massage. After reading several reviews about this place and seeing that they were voted Hawaii's best in 2014, I decided to give them a call. I got a voicemail that prompted me to leave my number and desired service, which I did. Shortly thereafter, I received a text message stating they could get us in that afternoon and provide a couples massage. The BF was in way worse condition than me so Darilyn decided to take pity upon his pitiful self and said, "you, come with me". I had Debbie as my therapist. 90 minutes later, we were both new humans and could actually function like a normal human being. The BEST part is the fact that the BF was no longer moaning and groaning. Thank you Darilyn!!! His whining was about to be the death of me but Darilyn saved me! I highly recommend this place and both of these therapists. They're very professional and seriously good at what they do. Darilyn took the time to find out what our expectations and needs were prior to the massage, which isn't always the case when you get a "consultation" before your service. Many thanks to those ladies. The worst part about writing this review is knowing they are located on Oahu and now we're on the Big Island. We would be regulars there if we were still living over there. Now, we'll just have to make it a point to book an appointment the next time we visit Oahu. Lastly, the prices are soooooo reasonable for the service you get. If you have pain in your body, call this place and get healed! read more

Im currently a massage envy member. i typically see one therapist at massage envy. i have an appointment this coming friday BUT i could not wait. so in the rush of the moment i made an appointment here based on good yelp reviews. most of my hasty ideas dont pan out so well. especially when in comes to last minute planned massages. i was worried because lets be honest there isnt anything worse than a junk massage. this massage was AMAZING! just the right amount of pressure. im not a big person. so at most places when i say medium to moderate pressure they go super light. BUT HERE...OMG! i felt like i was a piece of meat being tenderized!! (which is a good thing for me). now, im in a pickle. im a massage envy member but now i ONLY want to come here :-( read more

I have to give thanks to Jennifer H for her review! Without her review I may never have found Maria! If you are a deep tissue massage lover, then you will love Maria!!! She focused on my problem area and I was comfortable. American Specialty Insurance is accepted! read more

Booking is easy and I had Mai for the first time. She wasn't in any of the previous reviews, so I was a bit nervous. But she was very professional and everything she did was great! read more

Sure you could go to a massage to relax and potentially fall asleep, but if you're like me and sit at a computer for almost 8 hours a day, commute for an hour and well, sit on your behind watching TV, you probably suffer from chronic back pain just like me. Most masseuses just don't get in deep enough to help relieve my pain. Yelp helped me on my quest to locate a massage shop that focuses on pain management. In the heart of Kakaako next to Fresh Cafe, Island Therapy massage sits above a church. They share parking with the church, which I have never had trouble finding. It might be more difficult if you came on a Sunday though. The lady who runs the shop has masseuses only come in if they have appointments. This no frills location usually doesn't even have someone at the desk. Therefore, the door stays locked during sessions. Just knock a few times (speakeasy style) and wait patiently outside. There are three therapy rooms. Each one seems to be lit with something similar to a blacklist and are individually climate controlled. Sandi, my masseuse, knows how to make me grin and bear it. She tends to be talkative and speaks to you about what she notices and what your lifestyle is doing to contribute to your pain. Like I said, no relaxing here. I'm sure you could if you asked. That's the beauty of this place. You get exactly what you ask for. I come for an hour solely on my back, which is exactly what I need. The prices are also fantastic as well! $65 for 60 minutes, which is about the same as what I used to pay on base. This isn't Laniwai. That would be like comparing apples to oranges. In fact, you don't even need to call this a massage. I would call it trigger point therapy. And therapy you shall receive. read more

My boyfriend and I were first timers getting a massage and opted for the couples massage... a little day date. Scheduling our appointment was a breeze. The gal I corresponded with, Maria, was quick to reply to our online scheduled appointment. Great part about Island Therapy is that they are available on WEEKENDS!! This works out perfect for our busy work schedules as my boyfriend and I work long hours and on weekends. Parking is pretty good with stalls in the front, in the next lot (not sure which lot) and behind the building as long as you're not blocking any doors or anything else. You walk upstairs to their unit and its a cute two-room operation. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. V and Michiko were very friendly and professional. They discuss with you any injuries you may have or places you want to work on. They let you into the room to get undressed and under the sheet. The room was cold and I should've asked to turn the fan off but I thought it was going to warm up from the massage, but nope, but no biggie. They kept checking if we were comfortable and if the pressure was good. They were marvelous! We would definitely visit again! read more

I'm a powerlifter, so regular sports massages are a must for me. I've received amazing massages from Dari Lyn and David. Both of them really get all of the knots out and apply just the right amount of pressure. If I could get a massage every month, I would, but I try to go at least every 2-3 months. Maria gets back to you very quickly if you book an appointment through their website. Their appointment availabilities tend to be pretty good, though I try to schedule a week out in advance. It's a small studio, but very clean and it smells wonderful. read more

I took heed of all the wonderful reviews and gave this place a try. I am glad I did. It was a great experience starting from booking the appointment all the way to receiving my masage. I filled out the reservation form online and heard back immediately even though I wanted to book an appointment the next day! I was able to do so without even lifting up the phone. The place is on the second floor of the building. There is a small parking lot in front. You can see the sign from the road, but you have to walk around back and up the stairs to get there. There's a sign on the door telling you knock, as they might be in session. The place is cute and clean. I think there were three massage rooms. My massage was awesome. My massage therapist was very professional did not talk much so I could just relax. (Have you ever been somewhere where they talked your ear off the whole time you were there?) I think I even fell asleep at one point! My therapist was also sure to ask that the pressure was just right. Using a credit card, a one hour massage came to about $68.00. It was well worth every penny. read more

Just had the best massage again with Maria! It's been about two years since I've been here....two years too long! Honestly speaking though, she is the BEST masseuse. I had a 90 min massage today and she worked on my two problem areas: my back and neck. She made sure the pressure was fine and she worked out all the kinks and knots I have from working on my feet. I feel so relaxed now! Maria is so easy to talk to, her facility is very comfortable and her communication (setting a appt.) is professional. If you're in need of a strong and skilled masseuse, please see Maria. Trust Me..... Oh and Maria, I hope it won't be two years until I return. I've made a promise to myself to visit you more often. Thanks again for an awesome massage!! read more

Another 5 star massage from Dimitri. After recovering from a back injury that occurred 7 months ago, I started working out with weights again this past week. Boy oh boy! I was incredibly sore and could barely move. After a 90 minute massage from Dimitri, my aches have subsided and I'm ready to continue my boot camp classes. Island Therapy's prices are very reasonable. I can see this place being my 'go to' massage place. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment with Dimitri. read more

Tired, achy, and with plenty of tension in my neck and upper body... I knew the first thing I wanted to do after stepping off that plane was to get the best massage closets to the airport. This is where the Yelp app. was extra useful, I did a quick review of the places nearby and eventually chose this one. Relatively easy to find, but extremely difficult to find suitable parking nearby. There are tons of busy auto garages nearby with extremely limited parking, I had to eventually drive into a public lot. I walked in and the owner (not exactly sure of her name) was busy with another client but called another masseuse immediately to assist. I only had to wait roughly half and hour, I didn't mind waiting in an air conditioned room outside of the Hawaiian humidity. She was very professional and even had me fill out a basic patient history form. There seemed to be only two rooms here; so I assume it's probably best to schedule in advance. The massage I got here was like no other, but I don't often get massages so I guess I don't have much to compare it to. Deep tissue, swedish, or shiatsu... I'm not quite sure what technique my massage therapist used but it was just what I needed to start my vacation off right. I had some areas worked on that I didn't even realize I had tension in... but of course there is a connection with many muscles. The massaging technique had good balance, so it made my muscles feel comfortable. I would highly suggest this to any local or traveler coming to Honolulu! read more

Words cant even begin to describe the AMAZING EXPERIENCE I JUST HAD!!! Doreen (my newest favoritest person in the world) just gave me THE BEST massage ive ever had!!! I yelped "massage" and this place came up... I called but got the voicemail after a few rings... Just as I was hanging up I got a text. This place has an auto text service... TOO COOL!!! I text (at 4:15pm) inquiring about a 5pm opening. Maria called me back soon after my text and luckily for me there was an opening! Super grateful, I was scheduled for an hour massage with Doreen. This was absolutely FATE! I filled out a client sheet stating my aches and pains... Im particular about massage like technique and pressure. I was having bad headaches and neck and shoulder pains. Ive been to massage therapists before and when i tell them I have specific areas of pain, they gave me a full body massage. Nothing wrong with that, just not exactly what I was looking for... Doreen spent the entire hour focusing on EXACTLY where I was hurting!!! She hit EVERY ACHE AND PAINFUL SPOT I HAD!!! She had the perfect pressure and just knew totally what I needed... Its like the massage gods made this therapist JUST FOR ME! =) Her hands have healing magical powers! Seriously AMAZING find!!! I would recommend her to EVERYONE and ANYONE! THANK YOU YELP!!! But more importantly THANK YOU DOREEN! I feel 1000X better! =))) read more

Hurts so goooood.... That's what kept repeating in my mind while I was trying to hold back tears of joy and pain during my massage session with Angel. This is by far the best and educational massage session I've ever had. I don't ever talk during massages since it's supposed to be a relaxing experience but I couldn't help but jabber away with Angel since she kept finding all the kinks and knots in my body that I never knew existed. She told me which muscle is connected to what and tried to figure out what I was doing to cause the muscle tension. I'm so appreciative of that cause now I know that slouching is making my shoulder muscles tight which is causing my ribs to push towards my back. She actually COUNTED how many ribs were out of alignment just from pushing on my muscles. Amazing. You know when you get a massage the masseuse goes over that one spot that you're like "yeah, right there"? Well that was pretty much my whole massage, and before I could even say those words I'd hear Angel say lightly "there it is" and proceed to dig deeper into the muscle to loosen it up. It like her hands are in tune with my body more than I am and for that my mind is blown and I can't wait to see her again. Thank you Angel!!! read more

Looking for an awesome massage for a great price? Go to Island Therapy for a vigorous yet relaxing massage. Looking for a massage spa day with all of the frills and pampering? Go get a facial and mani/pedi somewhere else, then go to Island Therapy for a massage. I booked a same-day appointment with Maria, the owner and main massage therapist. The massage was excellent, and without going too much into detail, it felt really, really good. Maria is extremely versatile and used a combination of different massage techniques during the 60-minute massage. It really is as good as everyone else says. Having read most of the Yelp reviews for Island Therapy before going, I would like to address some of the concerns in previous reviews. - Island Therapy sits right across a moped rental business, and past reviewers have complained about the noise. Since then, efforts have been made to semi-soundproof the massage rooms, and I personally did not hear any outside noises over the soft background music that was playing. If there were any outside noises, they did not distract from the massage. The rooms were spacious, and two people could probably be massaged in one room. - Although it's possible that I got lucky, I had no problem finding parking, as I was able to find a space in front of the church (which sits in the same building below Island Therapy). - For the reviewers who complained about it not being cool enough, not enough oil, etc., please understand that if you're getting a massage, your feedback before or during the massage plays a big part in how good your massage is. It is much easier for you to make requests than it is for a massage therapist to read your mind. This being said, Maria was very proactive in seeking feedback, and was very responsive to the feedback that was given. She was friendly and professional at all times. She did not answer the phone during the massage, and I believe she actually rejected a call as the massage was about to start. - It's true that there are no fancy waterfalls or other embellishments, and yes, this is a simple operation. Come here simply expecting a fantastic massage and you'll be more than satisfied. All in all, it can't possibly get much better than a massage at Island Therapy. Thanks Maria! read more

My favorite way to distress and get my body feeling limber again is with massage! I currently have 3 places in my rotation and get two massages per month. I love this place because you can follow their link via Yelp to make an appointment and the owner confirms your request pretty fast. I see Debbie here. When I first met her, I wasn't sure. She is older and small, but she proved me wrong. Now, I am going back to see her a second time! Only request her if you like a heavy-duty massage because she is strong! I'm sure that she can be lighter if you request it though, of course. She used a deep Shiatsu technique to get the knots out of my shoulders. I needed it badly. Anyway- I am excited to go back and see her today! read more

What a find....got so lucky finding this place. Asked for someone who did deep tissue therapeutic work and was assigned to Debbie. Have been having deep sciatic pain that extended down my leg with knee and heel pain for many, many months now. Also recently saw my doctor for meds and a referral to a specialist for ongoing shoulder pain. Arrived in Honolulu in unbelievable pain and barely able to walk... She worked me over good. I have never cried on a table before. And I get masages every month and always get them when we travel. She knew exactly where the pain was and she worked it with some seriously magic thumbs. She is so tiny but the strength she has is amazing! Yes, parts were painful, very painful. I was literally black and blue in a few of the worst areas. But I feel like she undid many months of bad fascia. She got into areas my regular masseuse has never touched. It was a revelation. I actually went to see her twice the week we were on Oahu. Great prices, easy to schedule. She may not be for everyone...but if you are in need of a really amazing workout of long lying issues, she is a great choice. If you are looking for a typical overpriced, resort, Swedish style massage, she is not for you. This studio is nothing fancy and I can't speak for the qualities of any other masseuse except Debbie. But I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend her without reservation! Three weeks later and I feel better than I have in months.....Thank you Debbie!! read more

Went to see Maria. WWWWhhhy did I wait soooooo long!! Walked in like the hunch back of Notre Dame. :( Messed up my back at work. BOOO!! My back was so tight.. She loosened every knot i had in my body!! RELIEF! Life is guud again. Accommodating once again. Called the night before and she was able to see me today for a 2 yes... 2hr massage. Yes you hear an occasional moped or two....but seriously...get over it. The benefits out way all the negatives. C u soon Maria! BTW, love the signs! =) read more

Too long overdue for a massage, I've had my eye on this place for a while. Hey, five stars are five stars, right? After a morning of work in the rain and an afternoon at the Honolulu Museum of Art, I made the call to see if Island Therapy had an opening. Lucky me, I found myself 45 minutes from that healing feeling. What an unpretentious place but home to some amazing hands! I was paired with Nieva--and, boy, does she have some mad skills! I kind of understated how firm of a touch I wanted, but, once I told her to go as firm as she needed, she had it down in spades! Very thorough and methodical, she made her way through all my trouble spots--and I had a lot! So glad I went with 1 1/2 hour. By the time time was up, I got one of the best massages I've ever experienced. Thank you, Nieva. You're awesome! Btw, if you live on the mainland, you'll find the rates here to be very reasonable. More the reason to come here more often! read more

Island Therapy is my favorite place to get a massage when I'm back home. Seriously, a massage from this place leaves me feeling reborn! Prices are reasonable at $65 an hour and this place is legit in getting out all of your knots and kinks. As everyone has noted, this isn't a fancy spa, but the place is clean, the location is fantastic (if you're within town), and the massage therapists are all strong and intuitive, so really what more could you want? My favorite therapists here are Maria & Nieve. Note, Doreen was amazing, but she no longer works here. read more

Really easy to book appointments, did it all online through yelp messaging and text. Our massages with Debbie were great, really good deep tissue massages. She knows which spots to focus on and is also really fun to talk to. read more

We had a great experience at Island Therapy! I found Island Therapy on yelp and decided to give it a try when we went to Oahu. We usually opt for the massages at the hotels out of convenience but I'm so glad we decided to try a different route this time. I checked out the website online and we decided to do a couples massage for 2 hours. The prices are great! The quality of the massages are even better! I worked with Maria in booking the massage and making the payment. She was so nice, such a pleasure to work with! She was very on top of things and even reminded me of our massage the day before. She was also in touch making sure I had directions the day of. Our masseuses were wonderful! Probably one of the best massages I have ever had. They were very knowledgeable and I felt amazing after. Next time we visit, we'll definitely be going back. read more

I got a great massage from Maria a few months back and have been meaning to give her this review on Yelp. I was very pleased that Maria knew how to hit all those trigger points in my body and find all areas that were knotted up. She was able to break those knots and no problem. Now I don't have that stiff back and sore neck anymore. Thanks Maria, I look forward to the next time I am in town. read more

I suffer chronic neck injuries from an auto accident and in excruciating pain all day, every day. I have also been receiving monthly massages for years. I'm visiting Hawaii for my birthday and sought elegant spa's in the area to sooth me from what feels like the worst pains of my life. I found a few overpriced options that didn't seem to deliver much, and googled something better with great reviews. This place is advertised as the best massage place in Honolulu. I laughed when I first read this, because it seems everyone calls themselves the best this, the best that. Also, their prices were so low I figured it had to be a joke. Upon arrival, the lady that massaged me (Debbie) stated I have tons of muscle mass and she wasn't quite sure how well she could do as a result. HAH...yeah right, despite me receiving monthly massages from some of the best of the best for years, this woman was EASILY one of the best I have gone to in my ENTIRE LIFE!!! She worked extremely hard to get rid of my pains, rather than simply try to work the clock. There are knots I've had for years she made it a huge point to get out. I eat my original thoughts of laughter at the reviews, and realized, this place is simply amazing. I highly recommend this place to visitors and locals to the area. Not only great prices, but given my 20+ years of receiving massage, I can definitely say Debbie is on my top five of best CMT's to ever work on me, probably tied with number 1 or 2 on my list! Treat yourself to this place! read more

I went to ER because of excruciating pain in my neck, head, all left side of my back. Found out it was muscle spasm in my neck. They gave me pain medication and nothing else. Once the pain meds wore off, the pain came back with vengeance. I asked for Debbie at Island Theraphy. I waited an hour and a half for her, but boy was it worth the wait. She really took out all the knots all over my shoulders and in my neck, and she still spent enough time within the hour to massage my whole body. I want to go back to her every week! :) :) :) Thank you, Debbie!! My body feels much better and I do not need to take any more meds! read more

OMG! After searching for several years for a consistently great massage, I've finally found the best I have ever experienced. Maria is AMAZING! She doesn't give you a pre-packaged massage routine, instead she customizes her work on you in the areas that you need it most. Her obviously extensive experience also allows her to apply a multitude of modalities in addressing your problem areas. No one has ever been able to help me with my tight IT bands, hip flexors and glutes the way that Maria does. She is a magician who knows intuitively just how hard and far to take her pressure to get you to a point of nirvana. If you are looking for a soft silky and oily spa type massage with light pressure and aroma therapy, look elsewhere. This is serious body therapy with a purpose that will always leave you transformed at the end. Scheduling is easy via email or phone as Maria and her team are very responsive. The other therapists are also amazing as well. Maria personally selects each by having them give her a massage so that she can ensure that the high standards and reputation of Island Therapy are maintained. One cool treat that they just added is a couples massage room which is a nice way to enjoy a massage with your spouse or significant other. At the end of the day, I cannot recommend Maria and her team enough. 5 stars almost seems like too few for the magical treatment delivered here. read more

THIS is where you should get a massage if you're searching for a place. Maria got me in within a few hours of calling her while on vacation. My back had some serious issues after flying there and doing a ton of driving and hiking around the islands. She was wonderful and well priced, parking was a bit of a hassle but I called Maria and said I was having problems finding a space and she came down and moved her car so I could have hers... can't beat that. The parking aside, it's well worth the trip. I highly recommend Maria and Best Honolulu Massage. read more

Best decision I made. Made an appointment & I am Satisfied. Wow!!! The knots in my shoulders, neck & everywhere else gone. I know I'm going to sleep gooood tonight. Thank you Rose! read more

Another amazing massage at Island Therapy today! Maria is so great about setting up appointments! She gets back to you very quickly, tries her best to accommodate your time (has for me every time), sets you up with the right therapist, and sends a reminder via email! It could not be easier to make an appointment. Today, Debbie was my therapist. She is amazing!! A very, very strong lady... That's exactly how I like my massages!! She has a super sweet and caring personality which immediately made me feel comfortable. She knowledgeably found my knots and worked them out. I feel good right now and I know in a few days, I'm going to feel amazing! If you want great service and a great massage, this is your place! read more

I have seen at least 20-30 different masseuse over the years both here in Honolulu and on the mainland. Finding a masseuse who is intelligent and skilled in massage has been a struggle. I would like to say that I have found a masseuse who is excellent!!! Her name is Nieve pronounced (NEEVA). She is extremely knowledgeable about the body, gives her 100% to make you feel better. She truly cares about making you feel better! Most masseuse are not really attuned to the human body but because Nieve is studying to be in the medical field she is excellent at knowing how and where to concentrate massaging given the time she has to work on you. I am so happy I have found her. Thank you Nieve! read more

Absolutely brilliant. I called around 4:15 today, and Maria asked if I could head to an appointment immediately. So worth it. Very responsive, and really made me feel a whole lot better. This is the place where you get much more than what you pay for. read more

Had an amazing one hour massage! Debbie has just the right amount of pressure and she explained the process while massaging. I'm definitely coming back read more

Believe what you read in these reviews. The staff at this place know how to please. I am so happy I chose to call after checking out Yelp. I set up a couple's massage for my husband and I, we were given an appointment only two hours later. The communication was via text and details were accurate. The room was quickly adapted to fit a second bed and we were getting massaged less than 3 hours after our initial call. We loved our treatments, the room was a comfortable temperature and when we were finished we felt equally awesome and relaxed. Job well done by both therapists. Debbie & Darilyn thanks! read more

I rarely post reviews but Island Therapy Massage has easily become the best massage & most accommodating place I've been. I'm a huge fan of deep tissue and these ladies r strong (don't let their petite size fool u)! Been to Maria, Debbie, Darylin & 2 more I'm forgetting the names off the top of my head but that's how good they are. It's the only massage place I've ever been where it doesn't matter who's working on you because they are each knowledgable, strong & thorough. The other best part about this place is you can book appointments via text! Maria does a great job accommodating to last minute bookings, which is usually that's when you need a massage the most! Going here for massage is more like specialized physical therapy than a long drawn out process. They are amazing. Get in, get relief, and get on with your day. No fuss, just strong & individualized therapy. Huge fan. read more

My left shoulder and neck was bothering me so on the spur of the moment, I called Island Therapy. Maria was able to schedule me for a 90 minute massage with Debbie that same afternoon. As other reviewers have mentioned, Debbie is a petite lady but she's pretty strong. During the massage, she'd check if the pressure was okay but not so much that it was irritating. I feel so much better now. Easy to get to with parking in front. They're up a flight of stairs so if your issue prevents from walking up stairs - go somewhere else. read more

I'm a local, come in and see Mai approx every two weeks or so. I've had amazing and lackluster masseuses before and it's so great to have finally found a professional and communicative masseuse that takes care of me. 100% comfort and professionalism from the second you walk in the door. I'm a runner and Mai is the only reason I recover as quickly as I do! read more

Will be a repeat customer! I had Ivana and she is A W E S O M E. Consistent medium pressure full body massage for the whole hour, very relaxing, lot of cracking and no complaints. Got a combination of a dry (massage on top of sheet) and oil massage directly on skin. There are only two rooms so I advise you to book ahead. I appreciate that they can make same day appointments via text, very convenient! I went on a Monday later in the evening and it was easy parking in front of the church and most businesses in the area were closed so it was quiet. Highly recommended and very reasonable for a quality massage. My one tip would be, don't schedule your massage if you already plan to go out to dinner directly after. She finished off with a great head massage, which I wouldn't refuse but it seemed like I made an attempt at an oil wresting match with my wild and oiled locks! read more

The massage I received by Maria was the best message I have personally experienced. My reason for going in was that my back had been hurting. After my session, my back felt so much better. I contacted Island Therapy through their website and received a quick response back from the owner of Island Therapy, Maria. Not only did I appreciate the quick response, but she was able to take me in the next day, which is what I had requested. Location: There's a big sign outside that says "Island Therapy", you can't miss it! There are a couple parking stalls in the front that says "customer parking". The business itself, is located on the 2nd floor. Just walk to the back of the building and you will see a staircase that leads up to it. It's a cute place and the room where I received my massage was very calming and tranquil with nice soothing music. I also appreciated the artwork located on the walls and on the ceiling. It provided me with an extra relaxing experience. I absolutely loved Maria and my massage. She made me feel so comfortable. She checked on me a few times to make sure the pressure was good, which I really appreciated. She has very strong hands, which helped my back and neck a lot. I will definitely be returning for future massages. Thank you Maria for a great experience! read more
