We both opted for the 60-min massage/30-min facial combo, which was $150 (a little less if you paid in cash). You could choose your massage style and pressure, and I went with a Swedish massage with medium-firm pressure and it was perrrrrrfect. I've had massages where I'm sore or could hardly move afterward, but this one left me in a state of bliss for several hours afterward. They also offered add-ons like hot stones or food scrubs (I was too scared to note that they could walk on my back and legs, so I skipped that part!) Our massage therapists started on time and they were friendly and attentive, asking a few times if the pressure was OK. I loved every minute of it. The facial was amazing too, and the combination of products and the facial/neck/head massage was dreamy. I felt like a clean, 100% refreshed lady afterward. Front desk staff is also very nice, and they offer tea or water before and after services. The waiting area and private rooms have soft music, dark walls and low light, and trickling fountains. No sales pitches afterward, too! They have a free parking lot in the back, too! Can't wait to visit this place again!

I really appreciate them taking the time to make better of this situation. --------------------------------------- Disappointed to say the least. Called ahead of time for a 90 minute massage. Once I got in the room and my masseuse met me, she stated I'd be receiving a 60 minute massage. I explained I booked for a 90 minute massage. She left and asked the receptionist and they denied me of a 90 minute massage - if I had known this was the case, I would have gone elsewhere. The massage begins and it was as if the massage wasn't in the room with us. I kept needing to ask for more pressure, and it did get harder but never got there. I asked maybe 8 times until I was just completely over it. I sat there and thought, thank god this is only 60 minutes, what a complete waste. It felt like the lotion did more work than the hands. The massage concluded, and she left for a hot towel & guess what? No hot towels. Typically wouldn't be a big deal but was just the icing on the cake. When I went to check out, I explained to the receptionist that I did not enjoy my massage and I had told her I booked for a 90 minute. All she responded with was "I wrote down 60". The compassion and customer service was also not in the room with us. From what I've gathered, they wanted to leave early. Safe to say worst massage experience, would highly recommend going elsewhere.

AMAZING DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE BY BODA!!!…read more First off, I was asked before the massage what pressure I like, and then during the massage, boda also asked me if the pressure was ok. I LOVE a very deep tissue massage, I have a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders and I've tried so many massage places and I never leave feeling satisfied, I always wish they spent more time on the areas I asked. She released so many knots and I had tears from the relief I felt . No one can ever give me enough pressure, and she was STRONG. I'm 100lb female and at no point was boda hurting me at all. BODA stayed true to a deep tissue massage, while also incorporating Thai, Swedish, shiatsu, and even sports massage techniques. She stretched my neck and back in ways that gave me a release I've never had from massage. Her vibe was calm, and sweet, and the overall place was nice. It really is a secret hole in the wall spot. I won't go anywhere else for a massage after this honestly. For the first time in 15 years I woke up in the morning without shoulder and neck pain. Very professional, and I felt very comfortable. Thank you BODA. I will be back :) Please try this place out if you are in the area, You can't beat it. I paid 70$ for an hour massage and gave a 20$ tip .

It was an encounter with the body, which I had long since gotten out of the habit of. I felt warmth, current, a slight shudder, a response in the lower abdomen.

The master seemed to lead me through the labyrinths of her own perception, opening up new points of pleasure and peace.

After the massage, I felt a pure vibration - as if the body was breathing on its own. I am incredibly grateful for this experience.

I asked for a Thai massage and a tiny lady jumped in my back and I thought she was a part of Cirque du Soleil!

It was so good that I thought she switched to her hands but it still was her feet!

Someone out there will find this useful or hilarious... perhaps both…read more My first review of any business is always given with the benefit of the doubt. In this case, probably extreme benefit of the doubt. Here is my story... The front door seemed difficult to open, as though it was barricaded. Obviously, it was difficult to move so that the bells on the door would chime, which they did, and it didn't take long for what seemed like a nice person dressed for the night club to emerge from a back room. However, my arrival time was 3:00pm, broad daylight. She didn't speak english at all. "Not a problem." I said to myself and pulled a muscle anatomy image from my back pocket to illustrate what I needed, just on my upper back. She seemed irritated and motioned with a very enthusiastic shake of the head and wave of the palm to say "No", almost as if to say, "We don't perform surgery here, dude!" I tried to explain that all I needed was just a hand massage in the trapezius and surrounding area. Eventually, she calmed down and complied. I paid $40.00, and she led me into a back room. Eventually, I had ONLY my shirt off. She seemed confused yet compliant. I laid down, and she began. I tried to offer words of encouragement because she seemed either hesitant or inexperienced. She understood when I said, "Nice." She replied "Thank you", to which I replied, "Thank YOU". After my paid half hour was up, I must admit I got up feeling better. I was in pain when I walked in, and at least, for as awkward as her technique was, she did move my circulation around and made a difference. Perhaps I was just an easy patient on this day. Anyway, she finished, and I got up to put my shirt back on, during which time she clearly demonstrated, nursing her hands and wrists, that she was now in pain. "Are you ok?", I asked. "Yes", she replied. "What days do you work?", I followed up. "No here again", she said (yes, those were her exact words). I was too fixated on her nursing her hands and wrists to try to understand which way she could have meant that. "Would you like me to massage you?", I asked, clearly motioning at her hands and wrists. "No", she replied immediately. Funny how she didn't need any help whatsoever understanding. I expected to tip, but I wasn't expecting such a forward request when she eventually said, "Tip me money". I reached for my wallet, and tried to ask, "How much would you like?" During her moment of extreme hesitancy and what seemed like awkward irritation, still demonstravtively nursing her strained wrists and hands, she replied, "Feefatee." I assumed that meant "Fifty". Now let me say in this next moment, I was completely out of my daily pattern carrying cash in the first place. Everything I do is on Samsung Pay. If not on Near Field Connection (NFC), I put my transactions on a card. This place is different, so my wallet was emptied into her hand... $43.00. With what seemd to be sheer irritation, she led me toward the side door. On the way out, as we passed her coworker in a hallway door who was helping another client, she uttered something that sounded insulting in an Asian dialect. You know the tone... like when the nail lady screws up one of your nails and you hold her accountable to fix it. ...and just like that, I was out of there. Should I double back and hand her the rest of her tip? ...I mean, after all, I did get what I walked in to get, just not the way I expected.

I sensed this might be the case because I tried calling shortly after they opened but no one picked up. I got a call about 15 minutes later though. I requested 2 70-minute massages and asked for strong massages. She reminded us to bring cash for tips and that there was an extra dollar surcharge for using card (and that they did not accept Amex). She also asked us what we wanted to focus on that session and we let her know, but I felt like the therapists didn't necessarily focus on those areas too much ultimately. The massages themselves were fine. Mine started off strong during the foot massage with a nice shoulder rub. But my partner said his started off less strong during the foot massage. He also said that much of his body massage entailed massaging a lot of bone but not necessarily tissue, although the person was strong. My body massage was just okay. There was a lot of rubbing and pressure point massages but not necessarily getting out knots. Overall it was just fine and the massages themselves were more like 3 stars. For the price, it is a solid massage place -- $50 for a 70-minute combination massage (30-minute foot and 40-minute body). But it's nothing special.
