Being a holiday, I wasn't sure if I would be able to book an appointment for a massage in the area. I tried a few spas, but they were indeed closed or booked solid. I contacted Diane and she was extremely accommodating and flexible with her time. As other reviewers have noted, her studio is in the basement of her house and has a very warm, welcoming vibe. It is also very quiet and the privacy factor allowed me to relax much faster than in a busy spa. The massage felt like a blend of many techniques. The intensity of the pressure fluctuated to match the needs of different areas of my body and she performed stretches on my legs, which would have been worth the money alone. It's a cliché, but I feel like a new man after leaving there. She offered me some helpful feedback after the massage and suggested some exercises and stretches to incorporate into my daily life. All in all, a great experience, and I look forward to another visit!

However: The place, in general, needs a sprucing up. The lobby/shop and bathroom all could use a good clean and maybe a paint job, and there was a dead cockroach in the bathroom, which kind of killed the vibe post-salt cave experience. We live in a city though and these things happen -- but a more dedicated focus to overall details of the space would make the experience even better.

I've been sleeping better. I'm going to add mkr3 salt therapy to my monthly regime. And I love the furry friend that welcomes everyone. I see that they offer other services, in which I'll treat myself to a massage. The ambiance in the salt cave is so soothing and comfortable that you fall asleep. My only ick ** is the convos in the lobby can echo , and I hope they can work on that, or I'll bring my noise canceling headphones. Also they are a few feet away from Bethesda metro station. I recommend taking metro instead of hunting for parking.

Sally was extremely accommodating, professional and friendly. When I hadn't showed up 5 minutes into our appointment, she reached out with a very personalized text message to make sure I was not lost. Their studio had moved about two blocks down the street, but I still had the wrong address (completely on me). She made sure I knew how to get to the new location and even which side of the building to park on. Even though we started late, she was still able to perform my full one hour massage. I was extremely relaxed the entire time. The music was gorgeous and had me picturing beautiful nature scenes. I had to fight the urge to fall asleep a few times. I left feeling calm and serene. I felt more limber. The back and hip pain I had before going was gone. I would absolutely go back. If you are looking for a less commercial spa feel and more of a crystals, chakra, warm vibe, this is a great place for you. The parking is ample as well, but is metro accessible too.

Throughout the massage, Sarah would check in with me to ensure that everything was to my liking. To summarize, this place "Shined" despite the rainy weather... Sorry, I kind of had to do the pun.

Short version: Judy gave me the best massage of my entire life…read more Long version: It's all in the details with this massage. I got a 50 minute massage, and Judy made sure to ask what I felt comfortable with beforehand and if I had any problem areas. During the massage I got warm pillows on my back, a heated massage bed, and when it was time to be on my stomach, something to cover my eyes, a warm neck pillow, AND the bed was adjusted for maximum comfort. All that being said, Judy used pressure in ways that got the knots out but didn't make me want to cry. She used multiple techniques (fingers/arm/etc??) at the same time so there were different pressures and feels as the massage went on. I have no idea how to explain it but she has magic hands! Trust me!

The waiting room in the front doesn't give you an idea how big this place is but once you head to your table you'll see how large the facility is. The biggest downside to this place is it's all one big open room that's separated by drapes. They have ambient music playing but this setup basically forces you to whisper as you walk to the table and during the massage. Out of respect to others getting their massage I didn't say anything during my session. I also didn't hear anyone else talking. While it's nice to sit in silence, it's just a strange setup in my opinion. As far the massage goes it was wonderful. The beds are clean and the floors even have that fake bearskin rug so you don't touch anything cold. The tables are heated which is a major plus and when you lay down they drape you in a weighted blanket. The whole thing is super cozy. My masseuse was receptive to the strength level I requested and really worked my hamstrings. The scalp oil was nice but I probably wouldn't repeat as it forces you to rush home to shower immediately after. Once we left I started to get promotional deals in my email which is cool. I''ll definitely be back once I have more disposable income.

I paid for a Steam & Sauna Bliss plan and ended up paying for services I couldn't actually use…read more When my plan was canceled by them unexpectedly, I immediately reached out to ask whether I could use my remaining sessions or receive a refund. I was told I could still use the remaining sessions and just needed to email to schedule appointments. I then emailed multiple times with specific dates and times I was available, including requests for weekday and weekend appointments. Those emails were ignored. After waiting and following up repeatedly, I still couldn't get a simple answer about availability. There was no online booking option, and the only method I was given (email) didn't work because the business stopped responding. At that point, I requested a $100 refund for the unused services. That request was also ignored. What makes this especially frustrating is that I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I was trying to use sessions I had already paid for. The business told me I could use them, but then failed to respond when I attempted to schedule. If a business cancels a plan, tells a customer they can still use the remaining services, and then doesn't respond to scheduling requests or refund requests, that's effectively taking a customer's money without providing the service. Poor communication, no accountability, and no resolution. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a package or membership think twice unless they're comfortable chasing the business down to receive services they've already paid for.
