As a woman, I was a little nervous booking my first massage with a male masseuse, but Wassel…read moreimmediately made me feel comfortable, safe, and completely at ease. He was incredibly professional from start to finish and really listened to what I needed during the session. I booked the Swedish massage with hot stones and eucalyptus, and it was worth every penny. The atmosphere was relaxing, the massage was the perfect balance of soothing and therapeutic, and I left feeling refreshed and recharged. This is the perfect spot for a drop-in massage or a midweek pick-me-up. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend! Note: the business is located inside of a multiple suite salon. Ambient music was played throughout my entire session and I truly could not hear any outside noise. If you're extremely sensitive to sound I would recommend possibly bringing your own pair of earplugs.

He really took his time to find each pain point and listened to where I've been experiencing discomfort. I've had quite a few deep tissue massages, but Wassel has been the best thus far.

Got a half hour massage and facial from Maggie. But I didn't know her name until I was finished…read moreand came out to pay and asked the receptionist, cuz Maggie only said about 4 words to me during the hour. She never asked about pressure. She never asked what I wanted. It was bizarre. The massage felt very "phoned in" and not at all specific to my muscles or needs. A large part of it was just general "rubbing" through the sheet. When she finally got the oil out, even when I could feel her hit a ropey muscle (and she could obviously feel it too) she just skipped it and kept the general rubbing. The scrub and facial were better, but oddly she left the room twice without telling me. I thought I heard the door, which was strange, and finally after about a minute I looked up to find myself alone in the room. Never had that before in a massage or other service. When a person came back and started up again I had no idea if it was her or someone else. And she asked NOTHING about my skin - dry, oily, sensitivities... She didn't know I had contacts in (I wondered if I should tell her, but it was so oddly quiet...). She did know my age (wouldn't she need to know that to know what types of things to use??). But now that I think back on it I realize: they use the same products on everyone I bet. One scrub. One oil. One cream. One lotion. One lip treatment... Nothing at all personalized. My partner got an hour massage and sadly, felt the same. His therapist also never introduced herself. In fact, she never said a word. For both of us, it was clear the therapists had not read our intake forms. The whole place is very "factory-like". While I waiting for my partner to finish, the receptionist assigned a therapist to a massage by saying, "Room one - new client". No name. No details. No info. Not a great experience. Not worth the price. My partner just came up with a great description of the experience - it is like a CAR WASH where you roll up, put your car on the tracks, and roll through. Every car treated the same, rinsed and scrubbed. The car wash of massages.

Received a terrible sports massage today from Nova Therapeutic ~ Courthouse. I put in my intake…read moreform that I am an athlete & have a race coming up in four days. I asked for and booked a sports massage & firm pressure. I did not put down my specific areas in intake form b/c I feel as though ppl don't read them. I prefer telling the massage therapist what is going on. I did. The therapist came in, did not introduce herself. Nothing. I said; "my hips are tight, I believe it's my psoas and lower back and glutes". "Can you spend time on my right hip" She kept massaging my back. okay, I thought.. she will work her way to my leg. NOPE. I asked again. Can you please massage my legs, esp my lower back and hip. She rubbed my neck. I repeated my self... my legs. She rubbed my head. After the fourth time, I gave up. So pissed off. Massage therapist did not speak English so did not know what I was even saying. I found this language barrier issue out when I told the front desk and manager that I was upset b/c she did NOT give me a sports massage. Manager responded. Can you stay and we can work your legs now. I said; NO. I have to go and I don't have time to get undressed again. So annoyed. They gave me a gift cert. Why would I go back to a place that provided crappy service to begin with. Worst massage place I have ever been to. As an athlete that has been to a number of massage establishments ~ waste of time & money. Do not recommend if looking for good sports massage.

If you are lucky enough you may find parking behind the building. But make sure to pull up to the front and inform the front desk of your appointment at The Teal Center before parking. Upon entering, it was a calm & peaceful environment, which you will experience throughout your visit. I was greeted by a nice front desk lady. Shortly after, Crystal introduced herself and escorted me to my room. It was my first visit, so she went through all of my info and together we discussed pertinent issues. Her bedside manner, the way she speaks, and her therapy session was so calming and refreshing. I learned quite a few things from Crystal that I can implement in my daily life.

I had no idea what to expect from my experience when I booked a signature massage, but what I can…read moretell you is that the massage was amazing. Now, I will say that it took me a moment to arrive to this conclusion. Not entirely knowing what to expect and having not asked many questions prior to the start (I like to be surprised), I was a bit confused when the massage started. Let me back up: before the massage, I completed a form which took a couple minutes, and then Melvin, who also ended up being my therapist, and is the owner of this spot, started asking me more pointed questions about the things I was feeling in my body, some of my history, etc. He was very thorough in his line of questioning and I appreciated that. You should definitely plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the form and answer some of these questions. When's the initial intake was over, we headed to the treatment room. The treatment room is very tranquil and dark. The bed is super comfortable and heated. The sheets and headrest are clean with no lingering smells, which I have experienced at other places in this area. For the first 10 minutes or so of my massage, I was mentally trying to pinpoint the type of massage that it was. After a while, I realized that it was, in fact, a signature massage that combined a number of different modalities. In one session, I experienced deep tissue, myofascial release, theragun, acupressure, and a couple other things. That said, if you walk into your experience looking for something specific or even looking for a hyper traditional massage, you may be disappointed. Maybe you can request that, but feeling the way I felt when I got off the table, you'll probably just want to trust Melvin. Once I gave into the process and let my body feel everything, I realized the intentionality of the work. In just an hour, Melvin was able to pinpoint certain areas and sensitivities I had not yet realized, clearly drawing connections between one body part and another, and doing his best to relieve pressure from both. By the time the massage ended, I had to pretty much peel myself off of the table to avoid slipping into a deep sleep because my body felt so good. I am the type of person who typically gets a certain type of natural high after really good massages and really good acupuncture sessions. This massage left me with that feeling. I would definitely recommend. However, I would also recommend that you keep an open mind when booking an appointment because not everything is going to be the same as what you might get at a big box, membership style place or similar. A couple quick notes: the building sits on the corner, and the suite is located in the basement. There is an elevator, and there are bathrooms on the basement level. You will be asked to strip down to just your lower underwear. That is pretty standard, but for people who that might freak out, just wanted to forewarn you. Parking is free in the attached lot. The lot is a little packed, but she'll probably be able to find a spot. If not, there are spots and an accompanying lot nearby.
