purchased groupon for a 75-min deep tissue massage with Jasmine. Jasmine was running late due to…read moretrain delays but kept communicating and apologizing to me which I found to be extremely personal and professional. Jazan is handled by a two women team and it's not the big chain massage chain. before the actually massage, Jasmine had a brief consultation with me to explain what she does and what my needs are. She was extremely thorough and made sure she covered all of my need in the visit. The massage was AMAZING! she covered all of my sore spots and even discovered spots that i didn't even know was sore! i work out a lot, 5days/week so i have sore shoulders and upper back, Jasmine really focuse of the issues I mentioned and even more as she massages thru my body and during the entire massage she would explain she was doing and where she was touching and if there are discomfort, she would warn me in advance. I cannot express how professional and knowledgeable Jasmine was and I will definitely return to see her and/or her partner. Note: this is not of the fluffy massage, this is a real true massage place that will be painful to some. No pain, no game kinda place.

Cons: 1) no relaxing music; 2) loud sound of air conditioner, couldn't relax; 3) no essential…read moresmell; 4) not comfy headrest (Smth irritating). Pros: 1) Jasmine is great person; 2) very welcome; 3) offered the water; 4) asked questions prior the massage session; 5) not pushing for a bigger tips; 6) clean office; 7) have organic cream (but unfortunately no organic oil).

My friend and I got Thai massages in Thailand and were instantly obsessed. It's such a great form…read moreof massage - consisting of the stretching of the body and the use of pressure. It caters to almost every muscle in the body. I'm so glad we were finally able to find a place for Thai massage in NYC. It's on the 5th floor of a midtown office building, and they have a couple of different rooms. We did the couples massage room since that's what we did in Thailand. The difference is here you take off your clothes and they use a sheet over you. In Thailand they had you wear a robe. The two ladies that worked on us were fab. I got the "hard" massage and my friend got "medium." We were both happy with our choices. We started face down on the mat. Yep there are mats that are on the floor, not a raised table. They went from the feet to the legs, bending the legs, pushing on the muscles. It feels like a yoga class, massage and physics therapy appointment all at once. They match your body's abilities and don't push or pull you too hard. The coolest part was the bow pose/back bend of sorts, where they pull your arms back into the air off the floor and have your feet hooked onto their hips. My neck and shoulders are super tight so they helped a lot with that, focusing on it because they noticed I needed it. They cover every part of the body except private parts. Loved it. Definitely my massage of choice.

That being said, see her more than once, and you'll experience that Rachel's techniques spans a wide range. Depending on how you're feeling, where you're aching and what she feels your body is going to respond to at that particular moment, she's got training and learning and pulls from all different modalities: swedish, shiatsu, deep tissue, the list goes on. I used to think that massage was a luxury reserved for a spa day that I would *maybe* schedule once a year, however I'm seeing real benefits by incorporating therapeutic massage into my health and fitness routine. I can't recommend Rachel enough.

I had never been much of a believer in massage therapy until I met Rachel. I only started to see…read moreher because my boyfriend is a big massage enthusiast, and bought me a session to work out some knots I'd developed from having an office job. Now I'm hooked. She is intuitive, knowledgeable and I trust her fully to work her magic to fix whatever problems I may be harboring deep inside of my web of tissues and muscles. Sometimes when she's working on me, I actually start to wonder if she can read my mind. She knows where to work on, she knows how hard to work on it, and she knows when to let up when it's a bit too painful. She has helped me fix problems I was aware of, and become aware of problems I didn't know I had. She gives me exercises to help me relieve tension and strengthen muscles that have been atrophied due to poor posture or a pronated gait. She is also warm and thoughtful, and always very pleasant to see. I should also mention that my boyfriend, the massage addict, lists her as the top massage therapist he's ever had (out of close to 100 that he's seen in his life). oh yeah, and I like her massage music choices too (I'm a snotty musician). Rachel is AMAZING!!!!

She has a true passion for the human body and helping others. Thank you for changing my life.

I have…read morebeen struggling with chronic fibromyalgia and have had a few surgeries in the past years that tend to result in severe muscle tension, present day. I have gone to several spas for massages and come out feeling somewhat ok but I feel the massage therapists are just not in tuned with my trouble areas and what they can do to better release the compressions in my shoulders and back. This therapist, Katherine, did a phenomenal job with identifying my trouble areas by pinpointing disconcerting spots and focused on getting those bad boys loosened up. She also massaged my not so troubled areas making me feel relaxed and overall enjoy the experience with getting the special attention I needed. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Katherine! Can't wait to book my next massage VERY soon! Not to mention the luxury of being in your home, and can head straight to bed after. Life is Good.

One Sunday night, I was browsing through Livingsocial just to see if there was any good deals. I…read morestumbled upon the 60-minute deep tissue massage for $49 that was ending in 25 minutes. Now, I had been wanting a deep-tissue massage for the longest time. (Back story, I run and do yoga a LOT. So my muscles are really tight and have knots on my IT bands as well as my upper back.) So in that short time frame, I quickly checked Yelp and saw the good reviews. I quickly snatched up the deal and got to booking. I emailed Melina, the owner, and she promptly emailed me back the next morning. She was very courteous and I booked an appointment two weeks out for my own birthday present. She reminded me of the things I needed to bring with me, the time I needed to show up to fill out some preliminary paperwork, and how I should contact her so that they can let me into the building. She also emailed me the week of the appointment to remind me again. If I was a forgetful person, I'd really appreciate this email. Nonetheless, I was grateful for it. On the day of the appointment, I found the building and called the number Melina provided so that Kurt, the masseuse, could let me into the building. When I arrived, he was very professional and explained that they had moved into a new space. I filled out the paperwork when I got inside, which took about 10-15 minutes. Then Kurt assessed my trouble areas and got straight to the massage. He allowed me to change with no interruption and asked which areas I would like him to focus on the most. We started on my back and then moved to me lying on my back. There was soft music playing when he was massaging me and, honestly, it made me a little sleepy. So when he asked me to tell him when a specific area hurts or is bothersome, I sometimes didn't respond but he knew it would hurt because he could feel the knots. When it was time for me to turn over, he was polite and gave me directions on how to roll over. He really only worked on my legs when I was lying on my back. But he really helped my tight right hip, though it is not entirely knot-free. (Not that I was expecting it to be completely cured in one session.) He then ended the massage with a scalp and head massage, which felt amazing. He said that he liked to end making his clients feel like we spent a day at the spa. When that ended, he allowed me to dress and come out to pay the tax I owed. He then offered a hip stretch to relieve my tight right hip. As for the massage parlor itself, it is very nice, airy, and has a natural feel to it. (It must be the wood floors.) The massage room that I was in was small, but it felt intimate and safe. It was also brightly lit. Truthfully, I was a little nervous about coming because I have never had a deep-tissue massage before and have heard some painful things about it. Although I can tolerate high levels of pain, my body did feel really loose the next day. When I was running, I had to control my limbs because I felt like they were floating away from me. Lol. In any case, I am considering coming back for more deep-tissue massages from Kurt. He was so nice and understanding. In fact, I have already contacted Melina for a massage package. So what should you glean from this review? If you are an athlete or have tight muscles, you should definitely consider coming to Vivify Massage Therapy for a session. The people are professional, kind, and understanding. The regular prices aren't too bad, but the deal I got was even better. The place is also very convenient to get to. And you leave feeling light, relaxed, and ready to go to bed.

My masseuse was Lauren, who was excellent! It was the last appt of the night and I never felt rushed by her at all. She put me at ease, and asked where I wanted to be targeted, and was fantastic with the pressure. It was just tough enough to work out any kinks, but never anything I couldn't handle and she'd communicate with me about it. I had walked in very flustered having had a bad day and was so surprised what an amazing mood I was, as I was leaving. Would definitely go back!
