Not realizing how knotted up my body was when I came in, Renata was able to massage me, relax me, then educate me regarding my body & the stress I was carrying. I came in for a relaxing massage, but instead I got a massage & very helpful information regarding my body!!!! Talk about a bonanza!!! Additionally, Renata further aided in my relaxation process by providing the level of modesty (regarding my body) that made me comfortable. Not many times does a therapist that takes the time to inquire about your comfort level; whether your 1st or 100th time, this can be an issue. My hot stone massage wasn't long enough, as I didn't want her to stop. From the top to the bottom, there wasn't area that was untouched by her. She made sure all my muscles received a fair amount of stimulation and "unkinking"; as I was truly full of knots. I found the pricing to be fair & in-line with the cost of similar services at other locations. I am super ecstatic about Hands Of Essence & this will now be my go-to-massage salon.

As first-timers for the couples massage, my husband and I…read morewere beyond satisfied. We received the deep tissue massage...Renata did my husband and Terrell did mine. Finding the location was a little tricky, since our GPS got us stuck in the library's parking lot. Don't go that way if your GPS tells you! Just look for the Napoleon Room, and the sigh for Hands of Essence is in the corner downstairs. Renata and Terrell answered all our questions that we did and didn't know to ask. They made us feel like comfortable and focused on the areas we pointed out to even. We can't wait to go back!

I was able to schedule less than 24 hours in advance (only 1 spot left) and I am so glad I did. My massage therapist was Jackie and she found all the knots and while I thought I was not that bad off, her work proved that I was wrong. Payment was easy online as was the booking. The location is a former home on Magazine Street that does have steps to make it inside, in case that's a challenge for some.

I booked a 90-minute deep tissue massage with Amy and it was incredible. We spoke in the beginning…read moreabout whether there were any areas I really wanted to focus on and she made sure to address those areas. She was methodical and meticulous during the massage including checking in with me to make sure I was doing okay and if there were any adjustments that needed to be made. The massage also included some face rolling with a chilled guasha tools I wasn't expecting it but it felt so nice. I ended up buying one after the massage because I loved how it felt and wanted to incorporate it into my routine. New Orleans has become a regular trip for me so whenever I come back I'll have to book another massage with Amy. Regarding parking, I'm not sure. I took an Uber there. It is on Magazine Street so I think parking may be limited but it's easy to get to with a ride share.

Logistically I was taken a little off guard that there is zero store front. I literally walked past…read morethe place until I noticed the sign sitting outside a nondescript building that you have to buzz to get in and are then directed by the person through the speaker to the appropriate floor for your massage. I did the red light treatment first which was nice followed by vibration plate therapy which I didn't even know was included. The massage was up one floor from that. Eric was my masseuse. It was the first time I've experienced Ashiatsu massage and the biomechanics of it are a little odd at times but the results are great. Wonderful deep tissue pressure without the sharpness that can get uncomfortable from fingers or elbows pressing in.

However, this place is amazing when they walk on their back. It's almost as if they're gliding and massaging at the same time. They are so Skilled that you would believe they are using their hands. You would never know it was their feet. If you hadn't booked it. if you've never had your back walked on. I would say, try it here at the Nola Bliss first.
