The location is close to downtown and has it's own parking area. I went to Amber because I was having some intense neck pains. She spent almost the entire hour working on that part of my body trying to help relieve the pain. I really appreciated how she went back and forth between using hot and cold temperatures and she seemed very present during the whole massage. She used a nice pressure and seemed to be very in tune with my body and my muscles. I felt SO much better after the massage and was completely relaxed. I can't wait to go back again.

I had exhausted all of my groupon options for cheap(er) massages and I took to Yelp to find a great local body work practitioner. Omra was a page back, but I really liked the sound and look of the place so I decided to schedule myself an appointment. Amber, my masseuse, scheduled me an appointment within three days of my call, which I'm sure you know around here is a big deal, some places are booked out for weeks ahead of schedule. She was willing to fit me in on the end of one of her standard scheduled days, so I was grateful before I even stepped foot through the door. Omra is located at a great space with an actual parking lot. Man, that is awesome. Up a couple of flights of stairs in a large shared building and you enter a magically relaxing room. It's cozy as cozy can be. It doesn't feel sterile, it feels loved, and well maintained. There's decorations all around the room that give this place a homey charm. It's like being invited into someone's house. Thoroughly relaxing. I'd love to give you the play by play of my 75 minute massage, but the fact is, it kind of knocked me out. I was put into this kind of weird half awake half dream state, where the massage felt like the longest, and most brief thing that has ever happened. The amount of pressure was perfect, even when I thought I wanted a bit more pressure to work out some sort of knot or twist I felt within my muscles I felt them relaxing and easing up. Super pleasant. I can't say enough nice things about Amber and Omra Bodywork. Truly. I've always ping ponged between places offering groupons, which I'm sure were a way to get me in the door of many of the spas, sanctuaries, and massage houses here in Asheville, but I never felt connected to them. Their rates without the groupon were well out of my budget. However, my full priced treatment at Omra was only slightly more than I've spent on deals at other places in the past, including the tip! I don't look forward to the next time that I need a massage, but at least I feel confident knowing that I have a prefered source of aid and relief when I do.

This is an updated review from 2022. I have been working with Karallyn for nearly four years. Note…read morethat while Karallyn performs wonderful acts of service for many women--she has an intuitive manner of working with men as well. This is my testament to her capabilities. In addition to the comments I made in the spring of 2022 - and I offer them below at the end of this March 2026 review - you'll be able to realize tremendous benefits from working with Karallyn. Most of my work with Karallyn has been remotely performed. Karallyn is gifted in her ability to draw upon a wide variety of her own experiences, training and knowledge. She is constantly improving and growing her repertoire of tools that she can leverage in service of others. Karallyn has spent a great deal of personal investment in somatic embodywork. If this seems foreign to you, one way to think of her skill is this (and these are my words): Karallyn has a deep understanding of the interconnections and relationships between mind, body and spirit. She is focused on providing you with tools to improve your ability to engage your body and nervous system, to make them resilient, and to improve your experience of life through your physical relationship to the world around you. It is powerful and life-enhancing. Our practice and work has grown and changed over time. I find working with Karallyn highly valuable. It has improved my ability to grow into my authentic self. Give Karallyn's website a review--and more importantly, connect with her and learn how she can provide you with improvements you didn't know existed. (2022 Review) Karallyn is an absolutely wonderful healer, spiritual guide, and human being. Like several of the others who have reviewed her, I am not a resident of Asheville -- I sought out a talented energy healer to assist me with my own spiritual and energetic journeys. I meditate and practice qi gong daily, and I have done so for years -- a recent series of events in my life led me to experience a guided release in December 2021, which was a profound and positive experience. My intention in working with Karallyn was to find someone in Asheville who could take my spiritual journey to the next level, so to speak -- and to help me identify the path of highest and best use for my spiritual growth. Karallyn is professional, skilled, knowledgeable of her craft, and outstanding at creating a safe space for someone open to working with her. She begins her sessions with a discussion and interview of sorts in order to better understand the intentions of someone who has come to her--I found this conversation to be valuable. It also helped me understand her as a practitioner and healer. I have found her able to challenge me in a positive manner that has broadened my horizons regarding spirituality in ways I might not have accepted even six months ago. As a note, I am planning to continue working with her remotely.
