I met the massage therapist who was also very kind and friendly. They had me lay on my side for the massage. However, they only spent about 10-15 minutes on each side and didn't address my concerns in my lower back or shoulders much. There was very little pressure and just light rubbing. Then the massage therapist got to my feet. I was taken aback because he spent at least 45 minutes to an hour massaging my feet. I'm not exaggerating. at times I would look down and he wasn't even really massaging, just holding my feet. I can't believe I spent as much money as I did to get an hour foot "massage". The staff is friendly but pushes the membership. After that, I was not interested in signing up. Please look elsewhere for a prenatal massage. Edited to add- I've tried calling a few times like they asked in their response and haven't gotten a call back. Even after leaving a message. They don't seem to really care.

A long overdue review for a very special place that has earned a huge shoutout. Haven is a clean,…read morewholesome space. When you walk in, you are welcomed by a cozy little shop area with herbs, goodies, books, etc., (every time I'm here, I always end up grabbing something, ESPECIALLY the Dram drinks!) Every time I've come in, I've been welcomed warmly and I've felt comfortable and not judged here. Truly a safe space. Now, for the good stuff: I've been coming to Emma here for facials during my recent pregnancy. While I enjoy some upkeep on my skin, I'm really looking for relaxation during services like this and Emma is truly one of the only service providers I've encountered so far that has given me the space to really relax. We chat minimally (but genuinely!) and when she's doing her facial, I feel like I'm safe enough to shut my brain off and really melt into the service. She's knowledgeable about which products to reach for and has generally just been great to come to. She is dual certified in massage and I will be back soon for my first full blown massage with her - I already know it's going to be a great experience :) Haven wellness is WONDERFUL and if you're looking to support local, you should check out haven!

She also took us on a tour of the spa and explained all the services that they offer. This spa offers many different services from massage to red light therapy, and cold plunge and sauna. The spa looks beautiful, and very professional and comfortable. The practitioners all look very knowledgeable! We are excited to try some services and to continue buying products that I don't have to order online!

I can't say enough wonderful things about La Vita Bella Day Spa! Veda is truly amazing--a miracle worker. I've dealt with chronic neck issues for years, and she is able to identify and target problem areas in a way no one else ever has. I always leave feeling noticeably better, and her skill and attention to what my body needs are unmatched. The entire experience at La Vita Bella is exceptional. The ambiance is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered to make you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you walk through the door. The entire staff is warm, accommodating, and genuinely focused on making every visit a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I'm a regular customer for a reason--I honestly wouldn't consider going anywhere else. If you're looking for a spa that combines an amazing atmosphere with truly exceptional care, La Vita Bella is it. And Veda is an absolute gem! read more

I just had my massage today, and it was absolutely amazing, as always! Christine has been my massage therapist from the very beginning, and I am so grateful for her expertise and care. She has an incredible memory--once you share exactly what you're looking for in a massage and your preferred pressure, she remembers it for life! The atmosphere of the massage room is perfect: dim lighting, soft relaxing music, and a sense of calm that melts away stress. I'm a big fan of heat massages, and Christine takes it to the next level with her use of a weighted heat pad, a heated massage bed, and wonderfully soothing hot towels. The aromatherapy she incorporates into the session adds another layer of relaxation, making the whole experience magical. Scheduling is always a breeze, thanks to the owner, Ashley. She is so kind and such a friendly face--always ready to help. If you ever need to reschedule, just give her a call instead of emailing, as it's much faster! I recommend arriving early to enjoy the spa's relaxation area. It's such a peaceful space to unwind before your treatment, and they also have a shower and steam room that you can enjoy. One of the things I love most is that this is a phone-free zone, so you can completely relax and enjoy the quiet time without any distractions. The spa itself is immaculate, quiet, and so welcoming. Clients are treated to water, coffee, fruit, and snacks, which is such a thoughtful touch. Every visit feels like a mini retreat, and I always leave feeling completely rejuvenated. If you're looking for a massage therapist who truly listens and a spa experience that's second to none, I can't recommend Milagro Midwestern Spa--and Christine--highly enough!

The therapist seemed to rush through the massage and didn't spend much time on the trouble areas I noted in my booking. To be fair, I did come in later in the day.

The therapist really worked out the tension in my back -- it hurt in the best way possible. While he didn't stay fully consistent with my problem areas or work much on the front side, the foot massage and stretching were both very good. My third visit, however, was amazing. Leo did everything right. He followed my booking requests perfectly and is honestly the reason I'm giving this place 5 stars.
