So I took the plunge and got on her books for a massage. Her Queen Anne studio is beautiful, open, airy and has some spectacular Feng Shui going on! She asked me about my problem and painful areas and got to work. She started by using some amazing smelling oils on my neck and shoulders, loosening everything up. Then moved on to the knots in my back that have been building up for years. Maria has a great touch and the deep tissue work felt amazing. She asked if I ever had jaw pain after she hit a tender spot in my neck; which I didn't realize was connected. So she started working on my jaw muscles too. Maria is very talented and fantastic at what she does! She's extremely personable and clearly cares about the wellbeing of her clients. It's an easy choice: I highly recommend her. My jaw has never felt more loose and pain free and my neck and shoulders feel 10x better. Can't wait for my next appointment :)

I brought myself a deal from local twist site for a massage at this place, and went there yesterday…read moreto use it. It was very much mediocre experience. The spa itself is cute and pleasant looking. My hot stone massage experience SUCKED in a major way. My biggest disappointment was with my one hour massage session being used as a training session without asking me if that was OK with me. I had two people in the room, one was a primary masseuse, Helen, and a student, who barely looked 18 to me. Helen's touch is OK when she works the muscle, but her knowledge of pressure points is very limited, and it becomes more of "This feels tight to me, I am going to press as hard as I can, and hope it loosens the tight spot." There is a different between firm touch versus putting a lot of pressure on random spots. It was most uncomfortable when she tried to massage my pelvic bones, chest, and stomach, as well as during my scalp massage. The second most annoying thing was Helen giving lectures/directions to the young girl throughout the session. Did they think that whispering somehow equals to silence? Another reason for my annoyance was the student getting her hands on me at some point during the massage. I specifically asked for someone with the firm touch, and while the student was super sweet, she is clearly not someone who has been trained, and I am not thrilled that my time and my body was used as a training ground without my agreeing to it. Because the student lacked training few times she ended up digging stones in my body in very painful ways. It was painful enough I had to tell her to stop. And by stop I meant "Please don't touch me anymore." Instead it was interpreted as something else. What really did me in were last two things. One, Helen asking me if I liked getting a massage from two people at the same time, and immediately answering for me that of course I must loved it because it is so special. Second, when I was leaving the tip at the front desk I told the front desk lady that I wasn't happy with two people in the room, and before using me and my time as a training ground, the spa should have checked with me that it was OK to do. She pretended to give me a surprised look that read "What are you talking about?" (Did she think that I just made it up?), and treated me to complete silence on the subject. I also didn't appreciate Helen hovering behind my back while I was at the front desk leaving a tip. Personally I am not going back to that spa myself. There are plenty of neat small spas throughout Seattle, with the staff that is a lot more knowledgeable and friendlier. For anyone who is planning to go to the spa, I recommend talking out all the details before coming to the spa, and speak out right away if something in your service deviates from what you would expect in the spa.

I wanted to treat my best friend to a spa day and found the $139 deal for Spa Mercer that included:…read more60 minute massage, mud bath, and body scrub. We added on signature facials and booked. Mud Bath / Body scrub: This was a little inconsistant - they gave me disposable briefs to wear but the rest of you is totally bare. My friend was NOT given briefs and was told to just go naked. The little gal spoke hardly any English and used a brochure to explain what was happening/next. (You sat in a tub for a little bit, she gave a scalp massage while you were in there. Then you layed on a plastic bed while she basically bathed you. First a scrub mitt, then salt scrub, then honey bath, then rinsed off with a shower). FELT AMAZING. A little weird at first to have someone doing this to you, but it wasn't uncomfortable once she got going. 4.5 stars (only for the inconsistancy) Facial: AMAZING. We both loved it. Much more soothing than acne facials I've had before. They also do the skin above your breasts which I thought was great as I tend to have good facial skin and issues there. 5 stars Friends Massage: My friend had a massage with a gal with blonde hair (may have had dreadlocks) and LOVED it. We both get massages quite often, and she loved that she was able to get a mixture of deep tissue and relaxation. This was her favorite part of the day. 5 stars. My massage: I had Helen and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND a massage from her. I've had massages monthly for about 3 years and I have never been in so much pain or had anything like this. She climbed on my back and used her knees for pressure and it was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. She has no finesse, no grace, no real technique, just "it's tight here, so I'll push really hard". It was awful. O stars. I would reccomend this spa for thier treatment. Clarify ahead of time what to expect if you're concerned about disposable briefs or anything. AVOID HELEN FOR MASSAGE.
