They have suggested gratuity, but its fair since its a good service.

DO NOT COME HERE!!!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was by far the worst massage experience I've ever had. The older woman who gave my massage was extremely rude from the beginning. She repeatedly scolded me to "relax," even after I calmly explained that I was relaxed. At one point, she was using her elbow to push my left shoulder down because she assumed I wasn't relaxing enough. It was uncomfortable and completely unprofessional. When she began working on my calves, she was putting so much of her body weight on them that it became painful. I told her it hurt, expecting her to adjust the pressure. Instead, she simply stopped massaging that area altogether rather than trying a lighter technique. To make matters worse, for about 10 minutes it felt like she was just rubbing oil across my back with almost no actual massage. I've had many professional massages over the years, and this didn't feel therapeutic at all. I actually came back because I had a wonderful experience here about three years ago, so this was incredibly disappointing. I had booked a 90-minute massage but ended the session early because I couldn't tolerate another hour of being scolded to relax. I asked the front desk to stop the session and she kindly shared that I didn't have to pay for 30 min I was there because she visibly saw me upset. For context, I lift weights regularly, so some muscle tightness is normal. Tight muscles do not mean someone isn't relaxed. Being repeatedly lectured instead of listened to made the entire experience stressful rather than relaxing. The woman at the front desk was kind and understanding when I explained why I was ending my appointment, and I appreciated her professionalism. Unfortunately, because of the massage therapist's behavior, I cannot recommend this place. Professionalism and respectful communication are just as important as the massage itself, and this experience had neither.

We arrived 10 minutes early to wait for about 15 minutes before being offered one massage for one person. They said it was my fault for not having a phone number with them and so they could not let us know that they had mistakenly given the attached room to someone else. I could not let my grandmother stay alone 20-30 minutes by herself outside to wait for me to finish. It was a waste of my time and they did not compensate me for it. Won't be back. Do not recommend given poor service, quality of massage, and lack of good communication.

After the session, I felt completely relaxed, and the tension in my muscles had significantly decreased. It is worth noting that the studio employs excellent massage therapists across the board.

I truly wish I could give a higher rating because there are definitely some positives here. The spa is clean, the prices are reasonable, and they have parking available, which is always a plus. One of the biggest conveniences is that they can often accommodate last-minute appointments, something that's hard to find with many massage places. Unfortunately, both my husband and I had the same experience after our massages. Instead of feeling relaxed and refreshed, we actually felt more achy afterward. After our second visit, the soreness was significant enough that we both took Tylenol for two days, and our bodies were still aching several days later. We understand that some soreness can happen after certain types of massages, but this felt excessive for us and wasn't the result we were hoping for. Everyone's experience may be different, and this is simply our honest experience after giving the spa two separate chances. While we appreciated the cleanliness, convenience, and affordability, the massages themselves just weren't the right fit for us.

Massage was okay, but overall this was the most unrelaxing massage I've had…read more Cons: * Massage started 1 hour after my appointment time . * Placed us in a couples room without asking (not a huge issue, but still). * The spa seemed to be running behind -- there was constant talking in the lobby that carried into the room. It sounded like people were in our space. * Employees were also talking during the service. * The manager came into the room while I was face down and offered a body scrub due to the delay. I appreciated the gesture, but it was done during my 60-minute massage instead of added at the end. It disrupted the flow and felt like sandpaper in the middle of a massage -- not what I booked. * My husband's massage ended earlier than mine, so he had to get dressed in the room while my massage was still going on. I've had plenty of average massages, but this visit had too many issues at once. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the experience.

I've been seeing Julia for oncology massage at Wespark for over a year now, and I can't recommend her enough. As a breast cancer survivor dealing with multiple side effects, and looking to prevent lymphedema, it's been so important to find a massage therapist who understands my specific needs. Julia is incredibly knowledgeable, and she's always happy to answer my questions and provide education about how massage can help. But truly, the best part about seeing Julia is the massage itself. She is AMAZING! The pressure is always perfect - she seems to know exactly what my body needs. She focuses on my problem areas and I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I especially appreciate her expertise in lymphatic drainage. If you're looking for a skilled massage therapist, Julia is the best there is! read more

Julia is amazing! I have a chronic pain and constant sciatic nerve pain. Julia relieved that today more than anyone ever has. I also have lymphedema and Julia is skilled at lymphatic drainage massage which I need regularly and is so important to the quality of my life.

She worked her magic on me this past week as I was beginning to feel immense pain in my shoulder and lower back. Upon arrival, she was great in building rapport and addressing the areas in which I'd like to focus in on the session. The atmosphere was very calm and soothing: dim lights, earthy aroma, and an individualized private space. Her technique is truly unique. She has a lot of strength and really worked through most of my knots. I asked her to build upon pressure as I wasn't quite ready for the full effect! She explained to me the ways in which she was targeting certain muscle groups and made me feel very comfortable throughout the way. Rather than focusing on the entire body, her goal is to soothe target areas to essentially create harmony within the body. For a private space, parking lot, and hospitality, a session a little under an hour and a half runs for a very reasonable price. I'd highly advise making an appointment prior to stopping by as she is pretty booked up. I would definitely recommend her for your massage therapy needs.
