June 2024 I walked in after getting my nail done in the same strip mall…read more They were able to accommodate my drop in request. Place was clean and welcoming. Rita did my massage. She was professional and detailed. Her ability to get the knots out of my neck has me making an additional appointment. I have been to several other massage places in Olympia/Lacey and Tacoma. This is the only one that has earned my return business. Also, they responded to my appointment request via text messages. That was convenient.

BEWARE!! Stopped by for a walk-in appointment and requested the $55 massage advertised. She charged…read more$62. There was no drape or sheet available during the massage, only a bath towel that did not cover so that was uncomfortable. No communication at all. At the end of appointment, she wouldn't let me leave until I left a tip. BEWARE!!

I was looking for something affordable and close by, and settled on Epic Massage. Like most local chains, it can a be a hit or miss. This place had an online scheduler so I was able to find a day and time that worked well for me. Once I arrived, the person (owner?) seemed confused but got me set up in a room where I waited about 10 minutes before someone came in. At the end, I showed her the email confirmation which I think helped confirm they have online scheduling, but they prefer walk-in or a phone call. Great massage, she definitely could tell right off the bat where my trouble spots were or what sort of occupation I had! A little more chatty than I hoped but the massage was a good start in the right direction in feeling better. Not sure if I will return given the lady was a bit handsey but it seems like a place that has a lot of regulars there! Maybe the others who work there are great too!

Excellent value for a top-notch massage. For over 15 years I've visited many massage therapists of…read morevarying skill and effectiveness. A few months ago I discovered Epic Massage, and my half-dozen visits with Kai so far have been revelatory! She has provided the most healing, comprehensive, and satisfying massages I've ever experienced. I now consider myself a committed regular customer. With easy scheduling online, a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere, and no-nonsense professionalism - I am happy to support this small, family-owned business, and hope others do as well.

When I first walked in I was very impressed at how clean, organized, and comfortable it was. They…read morehave tons of options for tea, scrubs, natural juice, pain relief cream. The receptionist was a very nice and helpful. When it was time for my massage I could not have anticipated how great it was going to be. Heated table, hot rocks, cups, everything you could ask for. My therapist was very good at asking questions and making sure I was comfortable. She did the best massage I've ever had and I played college football so I've had many. I signed up for the membership because it is actually a very good deal and saves you a nice chunk of money. I will be going back weekly. As a former college athlete and current rodeo athlete I highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to everyone at Ballaura spa.

I have been getting massages for over 15 years on a twice a month if not once a month. The staff…read morewas friendly, clean work space and as you walk in feels more of an earthly/incense store vibe. However as we got into talked the hot spots I would like to focus on, and which was odd for me as usually that's where someone would start or have you lay face down, instead it was face up. Where I feel it was like a massage envy type vibe where they don't just give you fully what you want and try to make you come back for another one. The hot towel and cupping was great however didn't seem like the person knew what they were fully doing. Lastly I know the cost of living has went up, but this was my first and last visit as no reason why someone should be paying $200+ for a massage period. I have found and had better from others in the area. Update: management did reach out in attempt to help solve future issues and provide a complimentary service.

Keveyonna is the best massage therapist in the county! Why? She can instinctively tell which…read moremuscles need more work, and she knows how to read a client. Sometimes I like to have some small talk, and other times I just want to zone out. She knows when to engage and disengage from conversation. My husband stopped going to massage therapists because some of them talked to much. He also found that some of the other massage therapists didn't check in with him about whether the pressure was adequate. He didn't have this problem with Keveyonna. She has several massage options available, and I love the online scheduling option. I always book the 90 minute sessions because I always want more than 60 minutes. It's that good. I delayed this review because I wanted to keep her all to myself!

Emilie at Emzone Massage is a miracle worker!!! If you get massages regularly, you know when your…read moretherapist has the 'massage spidey-sense' and can let their hands guide them to the spots you need help with. Em has this quality in SPADES! I am a former massage practitioner, and while I'll take a massage from anyone, I seek out a professional who can feel their way through through my musculature and tendons, who is attuned to my breathing and any subtle changes I may make so they adjust their pressure and check in with me about my comfort. I have found Em, and I'm not letting her go!! Her availability gets more limited each time I see her, and as much as I would LOVE to keep her a secret so I can get an appointment whenever I want, this woman performs incredible bodywork and deserves as much business as she wants to handle. She is set up to take credit/debit, her new location appears to be a co-op of wellness workers with each provider meeting their clients in the joint reception area. Conveniently located in West Olympia, about 2 minutes from the 101 Automall exit. She will customize music to your preference, if you have one, and I promise you will walk out of there feeling like a new person. Be sure to drink lots of water after, with any massage, but especially if you go for deep tissue; Emilie has some great strength and is not afraid to use it to tenderize even the tightest of knots.

Had a very relaxing massage we did the combo 30min full…read moreBody and 30min feet for $58 personally I think the price was a little pricey but they did an awesome job. I didn't have to tell them anything and they were able to feel around and find and focus on my problem areas. I got up from the massage table feeling so light and relaxed that I could barely open my eyes. My boyfriend did get his hands massaged and I did not receive the same :/. No scalp massage but I did receive some pressure on my head which was nice. They prefer cash and hate using debit or credit cards.

I have gone here in the past to relieve pain, but last Friday was the worst feeling/massage I have…read moreever had. The short man that gave me a table massage did not AT ALL know how to give a massage nor did he care. He was rough, made grunting noises, and hurt me. he stepped out and got a bin of hot stones. I have had a hot stone massage before, but NEVER had someone stack the stones on my back. they kept falling off and he would just restack them. At one point he took a stone and rubbed my shoulder for a second as if he didn't know what to do and then put the stone back in the stack on my back. they kept falling off my back and he would just stack them back on again. Let me also not forget to mention he pulled and pushed down on my arms.. $20 to have stones stacked on my back and $35 to have someone make me feel really uncomfortable! Disgusting!

I walked up to her…read morebeautifully converted Victorian house, which seems to have a mix of personal and professional spaces (i.e. her massage room and some apartments?) It was not a typical relaxing spa massage, but rather a cerebral and interesting massage that left me relaxed and revived, with some homework on how to walk to better support and settle my S-I joint. Barbara doesn't just rub your muscles, but rather works your muscles and skeleton together to make sure that everything is properly aligned and working as it should - she encourages mobility AND relaxation. So this means that sometimes there are some pretty weird things that happen - at one point, I ended up on the massage table with my knee up to my chest, twisting over to the side in what was more of a yoga pose than any massage experience I'd had up to that day. But what was neat about this is that I'm definitely better able to twist on one side than the other, and it's due to some stiffness in the aforementioned S-I joint. See what I mean about this being somewhat cerebral? Anyhow, I have already recommended Barbara to a couple of my friends and plan on going back. I went in with some sports-related aches and pains and came out refreshed, revived, and truly interested in learning more.

I was fortunate enough to experience Barbara's Pure Pleasure (Deep Slow Flow Massage) and I have to…read moresay that it felt truly amazing! I am a massage therapist, and a picky one at that, and I was hovering right around cloud nine the entire time. What made it so great? Well, there were actually a lot of things, some of which are really too hard to describe here. But here are a couple things that really stood out for me. Barbara mixed her lotion/balm specifically for me and my skin and adjusted it to get just the right texture for my massage. Her work was very slow and she used long, luxurious strokes that never seemed to end. They were calming and challenging at the same time, which I really loved. I think the bottom line is that I just felt completely taken care of and the work completely reset me physically, neurologically and emotionally. 10,000 thank yous Barbara, I can't wait to get on your table again.
