Furthermore, Christy created the right vibe for the deep tissue massage. She was engaging in conversation at the right moments and allowed my friend to fall asleep midway through the process.

My girlfriend and I come here every year for our annual spa day. It's a splurge but we enjoy it for…read morea day of self care. It is women only. We always get general admission and the regular Korean scrub. It is recommended that you arrive at least an hour ir two before scrub time so you can shower and soak to soften that skin! After getting our towels we stored our items in lockers and got showering. They have a mugwort tea tub which is also used to rinse your skin. Be careful not to contaminate the tub with post-rinse tea. The wet area has multiple soaking tubs of various temperature, including one cold plunge. The steam room and dry sauna are also here. It is recommended to rinse off in between the tubs, steam, and sauna. The Korean ladies call your name once it's time to get scrubbing. There are 2 scrub rooms which are both communal and each lady gets her own table. Here is where the magic happens. As you are asked to flip on all 4 sides, they scrub all the dead skin off your entire body, including your nooks and crannies! They rinse you off periodically with warm water and also rub your neck and head. Once you are done you are free to use the heated rooms and salt room. It is not recommended to go back to the wet room post-scrub. I always like to lotion up once I'm squeaky clean and go to the salt room to lay on their heated floor. The heated rooms are dry heat with different themes and temperatures. There is a Korean restaurant on site which smells SO GOOD but we haven't had the timing to try it yet. They also have a tea room for extra charge.

My friends and family have been telling me to go here for years and years, but I was never…read moreinterested. I am not body shy, and being around naked women does not bother me. I just had no desire to go until a few days ago when I booked a massage and got a day pass. I thought it would be a nice treat for myself. It was a wonderful amazing experience! All staff I met were friendly. Given a tour of the place when I checked in. Robe, towels, and cap also given at check in. My massage therapist was Alex. She is so tiny but got some real strong hands. This girl does NOT need a man to open a pickle jar. I went to the FIR rooms. I tried all 4 rooms, which have different temperature ranges. I then realized, I don't like hot rooms so I went to the cold room. The pool area which also have about 4 different pools with different temperatures ranges. I went for the cold pool, the temp says it was 60-65 degrees but I felt like it was a little colder than that. Overall, I fell in love with this place. I did not get to try their restaurant, but I will once I go back. They have water you can buy or you can bring in your own. Also, NO PHONES. Don't wait too long like I did, and give this place a try!

I bought my sister a gift certificate of $180.00 for her birthday to enjoy a massage at Rapture…read more When she was filling out the form they asked her to provider her pronoun. This was not an optional question however it should be since its personal. She declined to answer the question online and by doing so could not complete the form. She went to Rapture in person on her appointment date to fill out any forms needed for the massage. She's been to spas before so she knows the routine is pretty straight forward when you're there. In this case however, it was not. While there she was told by a Rapture employee that she would have to answer the question and disclose her pronoun that she prefers. She explained to them that this is not necessary and that she doesn't feel comfortable disclosing this information to them or to anyone else for that matter. Rapture declined service due to this unnecessary, and what should be optional question to answer. They literally told her that they can't provide a massage service that has already been paid for through a gift certificate because she wouldn't disclose her pronoun preference. The employee also said this was required in case of an emergency. What emergency service would actually care or even ask what someones pronoun is? They don't. Furthermore, Rapture didn't even offer to refund the GC even though they weren't providing the service. The least they can do is provide a refund. That would be the descent thing to do. Not decline service and keep the money. Rapture, I have issued a charge back on to my credit card for services not provided.

I've recently been trying to navigate the health care system, and it has been challenging and…read morepainful. Like many others, I have been overwhelmed by our current social context, work, and trying to assist my kids with schooling at home. Time for self-care, right? (Insert sadness). I started work earlier today, moved meetings, and left early, so that I could make this appointment. Needless to say, I was looking forward to some compassionate, skillful care. (Insert more sadness). I arrived five minutes early as instructed. Knocked and waited. Knocked and waited. An individual come to the door and explained that she was part of another business and asked me to wait while she checked with Carol downstairs. She came back shortly and explained that my appointment had been cancelled? Pardon me? "Yeah, your email didn't work, so your appointment was cancelled." "My email?," I asked incredulously. "Yes," she confirmed. Stunned, I went back to my car to check my email. After all, I may have missed the cancellation email. After searching my email, there was no cancellation email. Instead, there were THREE emails, including one from yesterday, affirming my appointment (photo below). This is advertised as a woman owned, minority business, and it's on the Hilltop! I was looking forward to supporting this business. Miscommunication happens, client error happens, we all miss the mark sometimes. I get it. Those things do not and should not define this business--but the mark was missed today. You could have helped to correct some of this by: (1) ensuring you cancel appointments, to be considerate of other's time. (2) It would have been a small, but kind gesture to come to the door, meet me yourself, and explain. The lack of the aforementioned has left me even more weary and feeling unvalued as a potential client. (Super sad).
