I've never had a massage before but after being told I need one by my chiropractor, I looked around and found this place! Not going to lie, the outside is a bit weird as you have to ring a doorbell and then walk up some steps. BUT...once inside, it is a little heavily oasis full of all the aromas and vibes of a calm-me-down. My massage therapist brought me back and I told him why I was there and that I hadn't had a massage before. I also disclosed I really don't like being touched and am nervous about this. He was respectful and kind and honored my privacy as I got ready. Then he applied the perfect amount of pressure to exactly the right places to ease my back tension, asking throughout if it was okay and not too painful. Overall, this might have been my first, but it def won't be my last massage! Highly recommend this place! read more

Mustard Seed Massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

If you don't enjoy a warm welcome, great energy, genuine kindness, and an esthetician who's both professional and highly knowledgeable, then don't book with Alexis--because she is all that and more! From the moment she greeted me in the reception area, I knew I was in for a wonderful experience. Alexis gave me the choice of whether I wanted her to educate me throughout the facial or share everything at the end, which I truly appreciated. Not only was the facial itself divine, but it also came with a starter kit, empowering me to continue the regimen at home. Alexis is kind, warm, and incredibly welcoming--exactly what you hope for in a self-care experience. I left feeling refreshed, informed, and cared for. She's everything you'd want in an esthetician and more! read more

Mustard Seed Massage - The afterglow - Massage Therapy Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's clean! The people are nice. The shower has a good pressure. Uhm nothing too special to me. I think I enjoyed the therapists at the other location way more. The guy wasn't bad just the techniques and stuff didn't do it for me the way nahila at the other location did. Didn't feel like super relaxed after, don't think I fell asleep- it just wasn't that great unfortunately. Showed and sauna are cute! Great add ons. read more

This was my first time using ClassPass to book a wellness service and let me tell you it exceeded my expectations. I got the 50 min European facial and it was wonderful. When my facialist (hi Alexis) told me to relax and fall asleep that is exactly what I did. Alexis was also great in explaining what she was doing at times and provided great recommendations. I walked out feeling incredible. Thank you Alexis and ClassPass for this awesome experience. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about this place. I went for a birthday massage and added hot stone and while the prices were a little higher than I am used to paying, it was well worth it. I am even considering becoming a member! Leticia was a fantastic masseuse and gave top quality massage therapy on my rather sore back! The space is not luxurious like the Ritz or other hotel spas but the staff is nice and the property is clean. Highly recommend. read more

First, I love how this location is the perfect quiet neighborhood but near so many great shops and Eastern Market. I love being able to patronize my local businesses. It is extremely private inside, peaceful, and always smells great. They offer complimentary beverages before or after any service you receive. I usually get a Swedish massage. I've had the service done by two different masseuse, one man and woman. Both treated me with so much care but were firm with their hands. I literally fell asleep almost when Nahila did my last massage. I am a true regular now and I recommend visiting. Im going to try out a different service next time I go. read more

Mustard Seed Massage - Menu of services - Massage Therapy Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The customer service for this establishment is poor- do not waste your time or money here. Staff was extremely disrespectful while attempting to reschedule a massage that was prepaid. read more

I very highly recommend Mustard Seed Spa (Capitol Hill location) to anyone who is looking to be verrrry well cared for. They offer a wide variety of services, and they have a facility that is equipped to do so (Example: infrared sauna). I have experienced years of back and neck pain, and Tania Burgos is by far the best myofascial massage therapist I have experienced. From her calming presence to her guided breath-work to her caring check-ins to the warm neck support pillow she provides, her thoughtfulness and attentiveness are unmatched. It's evident she cares about "the whole person." I experienced each movement as intentional, deliberate, and restorative. And somehow even with a massage lasting 90 minutes, her energy is sustained such that the last touch feels just as relieving as the first. Tania's healing care provides increased mobility and longer lasting relief. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! I know I'll be in very skilled, rejuvenating hands. read more

first time here thanks to expiring class pass credits && i will for sure be back. not only is is 10min aqay from my house but i legit want to try everything. from the time you walk in && greeted to the ambiance in the entire place just makes you feel relaxed. complimentary tea (hot/cold water machine available) , && sparkling waters. jonah(sorry if spelled wrong) did my massages && he was gentle, focused on areas i asked, and kept me feeling relax! thank you mustard seed (also love the name) && class pass for a new place! read more

I've been here probably five times and have had great massages with Alexis! She does a wonderful job, and I will continue booking with her whenever I need a massage. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal.The services are i don't think I ever had a bad massage there. I will highly recommend

Solid massage! I'll be back! We did a couples massage (kinda funny they confused our names but that's not a big deal haha). Therapists did a great job on both of us. No complaints on the service at all - just wish there were some amenities in the space - like hanging out in a relaxation space after the massage while you drink water (there is a salt room but that's an extra service) or a sauna for beforehand or something (that would make is an easy 5 stars for me)! The lobby is nice - we sat there for a moment to drink some water. I am looking forward to trying more of their services. read more

I've never had a massage that was so terrible. His motions were jerky, rushed and rough, he had a scratch on his hand that was scratching against me. I did my best to give him the benefit of the doubt, waiting for any type of technique but it was just terrible. Every time I did start to relax, a commercial would come on completely disrupting the mood and he said "Alexa, play relaxing spa music" at least 3 times. Maybe a playlist...? The face pillow had the last guest's makeup on it. All of this after the person was 10 minutes late for my appointment. Never again. read more

Thank you for a relaxing and healing experience - I highly recommend Timothy Hunter, make the time for a 90 Minute Intuitive Massage. The waiting room is pleasant with natural light, helpful pamphlets, cold or hot filtered water with tea packets and other beverages. The service rooms were equally pleasant with original art and other tasteful decor. I really appreciated the high quality massage tables and blankets, including the hot towel at the end of the session. There is also an infrared sauna and salt therapy chill lounge and shower at this location. I will be back! read more

Woke up a few days in a row with lower back pain that made me a little hobbled, and was able to make a same-day appointment for a massage with the massage gun add on. IT WAS FANTASTIC and Samantha, the masseuse, really focused on the area that was bothersome, and really did the trick. She asked about level of pressure. I was not hobbled when I left! She did a great job. (also their office is deceptively large; sauna, several rooms, very calming space). Anyway, highly recommend! read more

I started going to Mustard Seed in Capitol Hill during my pregnancy for prenatal massages and Alexis is a miracle worker. I have never felt more soothed and relaxed after a massage. I keep coming back and I am not sure I can ever have another masseuse again, she's just too good. Apart from the excellent service, the place is clean and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend Mustard Seed and Alexis in particular. read more

I've seen Latisha, Alexis and Jonah and my experience has been great every time! Latisha has such a talent and gift in energy healing and I always feel more in tune with myself emotionally after services with her. Alexis listened to my needs diligently, and jaw pain I came to my session with was melted away by the end. read more

I went here twice and have been blown away by the quality of massage. In particular, Tim was patient but worked on my muscle pain efficiently and with attention to detail, making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. 11/10 will go again and recommend. read more

I came here on a recommendation. A quick yelp search, and I saw five stars and I felt like "wow great" got cupping and a "massage" it was the worst cupping I've ever had. Cupping is one of those things if you do it regularly, you know exactly how/ what it's supposed to do. The therapist fumbled their way through the cupping there was no real deep tissue massage afterwards. literally midway through the cupping i started to think. Is this going to do more damage than any good. I pretty much got rub down. I will say they were able to book me same day, which was nice. maybe I just need to try a different therapist. read more

Just had great massages with Jonah and Shawn! Feel amazing! Looking forward to the next time already!

I had an excellent massage from Xavier. I didn't know this place existed, but I was wandering around Union Station, killing time, when I stumbled upon it, and I was in desperate need of one. I always have an intense knot on my right shoulder blade, and Xavier worked it really well, and I feel so much better now. He's not at this location all the time, but if he is, I highly recommend. The other masseuse, Yan, was super friendly. It looks like a mall massage shop, so I was a bit surprised at the prices (but then I figured there was a Union Station upcharge), but further research shows Mustard Seed has a full service establishment downtown, and I'd like to visit that location as well, especially since they offer reiki. I was bit thrown by the name, since it's also the name of a local consignment shop. But Mustard Seed is definitely worth it, and I look forward to returning. read more

Just visited for the first time after receiving a gift certificate and a hearty recommendation. I had 75 mins of intuitive massage from Jonah and it was honestly the best massage of my life. Just, wow. I feel an inch taller and floated out of the place! I'll definitely be back. read more

Make an appointment! My massage was interrupted twice by people dropping by. I had a 60 minute table massage, concentrating on my back and shoulders. Xavier has healing hands. I felt so much better after my massage. He suggested I drink water throughout the evening, and take a warm shower at home. Highly recommend. read more

Quick update: yep. Still awesome. Had a great full 60 minutes and feel so much better. Made a special trip to this location because it is so great. Highly recommend!!! Just an amazing experience. I feel so relaxed. The masseuse totally listened to me. It was the perfect pressure and he got all the spots I had. Classy and quiet for being in the middle of a bustling station. read more

Great massage! Excellent customer service and great technique, pressure was perfect! I will definitely visit this place again when I'm back in town. I thought I was going to have a hell of a trip but they fixed my back tension. read more

I can't say enough about Mustard Seed Massage. Truly one of the best massages ever. Booking was easy and location is super convenient. The spa is lovely and relaxing. I highly recommend LaTasha. She spent time asking me what issues are. All the tightness in my shoulders melted away. She also maybe some suggestions on stretches and other tips I could do to avoid the tension in my shoulders and neck. I will for sure be back. read more

I just had my first massage at Mustard seed and I will definitely be back. I had a deep tissue massage with Jonah Kim and threw in some hot stones. I have not had this much space between my ears and shoulders in decades. An amazing massage- the kind of massage where you have to put the exact amount of tip in your wallet in advance so you don't just hand all your money over. The hot stones were worth the add on. And there's a wine store downstairs (probably not a recommended post-massage stop but it worked out great for me). read more

Amazing massage/ wellness center. The staff is amazing! They are thoughtful, kind, respectful and make you feel so safe and relaxed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and they are now my go to spot. read more

Great little find in Union Station! Really needed my shoulders and upper back massaged and searched for something close by. I was directed to another place with a different name but by calling them found that this place had replaced them in location. I walked in and was told it'd be a 10 minute wait. No problem; I really needed the massage. Did a 45 minute session. Not cheap but it was well worth it. I had some pain that wasn't going away so I sat it out until my time. I waited about 15 minutes before she was available. Can't say enough about this place. Wish I had known they were in the station before read more

Mustard Seed Massage - Try out price is $5 for 5 minutes - cash only. Great way to see if you want to purchase a longer massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

In DC for business and really wanted a quick chair massage. Xavier is a miracle worker and gave me the best 30 minute deep tissue massage, working through my ridiculous knots. Thankful for the relief. I will definitely be back on my next trip! read more

Union Station might be a strange destination for a massage, but trust me, this is truly a gem worth making a special trip for. I've had a lot of massages, at very expensive upscale spas and no-frills hole-in-the-wall Chinatown places. This place is among the best of them. It's definitely no-frills, and I usually go for the 20- or 30-minute chair massage. Xavier, whom I've gone to for nearly four years, is simply amazing. He uses the perfect pressure, immediately finds all my problem areas, then uses not just his hands but his arms and elbows to smooth and knead until the knots are gone. I've worked with other therapists here, but Xavier is the best and I have never had a bad experience with him. Definitely give this a try if you're in the area and have a little time. Your back and shoulders will thank you! read more

Had an hour to kill at the station today waiting for my train, got an AMAZING message from Franklin who really helped loosen up my back and neck muscles that were so tight. Very happy customer. read more

Yes, it's weird to get a massage in a train station. But Xavier makes up for it. I always make massage therapists work hard (I have deep knots in my back that are hard to work out) and most of them just do a so-so job. This time I also had a weird pain in my collarbone area - I was actually thinking about seeing a physical therapist about it. Xavier worked out the knots and the collarbone thing is much better! He's also the perfect combination of fun to talk to and quiet when you want to just chill - he follows your lead. The salon itself isn't really a salon - more like a storefront. It's surprisingly quiet given its in Union Station - being on the 3rd floor means there aren't a lot of people walking by and making noise. Because of the setup, you can get chair massages or table massages (clothed). The online scheduling is also really nice. I highly recommend this place. Just don't take up all of Xavier's spots so it's hard for me to get one ;) read more

Great spot! Clean space! And just a solid massage. Totally accessible as it's at Union Station Amtrak.

Xavier is a massage magician. I have lower back pain that acts up every once and a while and it can take days of stretching and some Tylenol to go away. My back really hurt one day about noon and I took to Yelp to find a good and fair priced massage place near me and I found mustard seed. Xavier is super professional and he made my back pain go away. Will definitely be going back here soon! read more

Had an excellent massage from Shuichi which prompted me to buy a membership. It's clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly, and the massage was excellent. read more

I usually do not get massages done, but one day, I was stress and I knew I needed a massage. So I looked around, and came to Mustard Seed Massage. I am honestly so glad I came. First it started with the customer service. I was received very warmly. The environment was calm and very relaxing just what I needed from my hectic life. I decided to get the 60 mins full body massage. I don't know when my massage started or ended but I know that I didn't leave the same way I came in. I left more relaxed, and stress free. Needless to say I have returned for multiple other sessions. If you are looking for a place to relax while giving your body the essential treat it deserves for all it's hard work, Mustard Seed Massage is the place for you. Not to mention that it is cost effect. I am a college student and I am able to afford it. I am happy I found this place. read more

I had an aggravating pain in my upper and lower back so I decided to get a massage to get the edge off. I made a good decision to go to Mustard Seed Massge to do just that. Xavier was Awesome! Not only was the massage amazing but Xavier was very pleasant and informative. I recommend if you are in Union Station or in the are to check this place out. read more

Had some free time while waiting at Union Station in DC. Found this place while looking for the other massage place. Since I had a lot of time, I opted for the 90 minute full body massage. It was everything I needed and more. He knew where my muscles were tight and paid extra attention to those areas. I felt like a champ when he got done. This place will definitely be my go to spot when I'm in the area with some free time. Thank you for your excellent service. Keep up the good work. See you again soon! read more

Best massage I've had in years! Will definitely be back. Pain free a day after the fact. They know what they're doing here.
