I came in for a 60 minute deep muscle massage with Christina. To start the environment was serene…read moreand the sheets were cloud like. Everything was clean, and Christina had a centerpiece with lit candles and beautiful plants that was placed away after introduction to room. Christina asks at the beginning for any troubled areas of focus she can work on and informs you to tell her throughout the session if you would like to adjust the pressure. Christina provided great relief to my neck area helping improve my flexibility and range of motion tremendously. Next time I will go for a deeper massage with Christina, but for my first I liked the pressure and my body feels rejuvenated so I can't complain. Booking is easy through her website and she even reaches out an hour before your massage to orient you to the right place. I loved this massage and will be back! Say you were referred by Madison Pyle from Yelp for potential benefits or deals!

I unfortunately have a horrible crick in my neck and she released a lot of tension to help with my neck. Afterwards I had the copper soak and she explained to her fellow masseuse the concerns of my neck and Samantha came over and gave me some wonderful tips and even gave me a tool to help with my neck. Every one of us had an incredible experience and we would highly recommend going here. Thank you all for accommodating all 5 of us women and taking care of us. Love, The Military Wives

Great massage, great value- $60 for 90 minutes! My wife usually gets me a massage for Father's Day…read morewhile we're on vacation. This year I waited too long to schedule where I usually go, so I went online to find another place and found Julie. She is a warm, friendly, and professional therapist. I love having my back worked on. Julie works on your back first, then does the rest of your body. This was a change from what I'm used to, but I liked it- I think it really relaxed me right off that bat to where I was more relaxed for the remainder of my massage. I was so relaxed, I think I was drifting in and out of sleep! I'll be back to see her next year!

There is zero wiggle room for the cancellation policy. I…read morewould have loved to experience Shine On, but the morning of my appointment I was nauseated and vomiting. I called and was told I'd be charged the full cost of my appointment, nearly $100 and that they could reschedule me. Not sure I'd want to reschedule if they expected me to show up vomiting. What if I'd had Covid? Seems very dangerous for their employees and other guests. So beware of that. Their owner texted me and accused me of threatening their receptionist. I was probably a bit rude before I was hung up on, but I certainly did not threaten anyone. I'm sure this is a very lovely massage place. The other reviews reflect that. That being said, I thought others should know that there is zero wiggle room for the cancellation policy, which could mean spreading sickness to employees and customers.

She was the first person to ever both explain and validate my pain, which is absolutely priceless. I actually shed tears after I left because her knowledge and experience shined a light into the dark tunnel of pain that has had a damper on my soul. Living with chronic pain is both debilitating and emotionally draining. For the first time I feel like I have direction on a path to relief and hopefully a better quality of life. Overall I'm grateful for her serene space, welcoming demeanor, knowledge of recommendations, individualized experience, thorough aftercare instructions, the coupon to get my friend in to see her, and can't wait to go back!

A few months ago, my regular massage therapist left town to be closer to where he lives. I asked…read morehim for a recommendation for a local (Southport/Oak Island) massage therapist. He recommended Christy Macklin @ Healing Waves Massage Therapy and mentioned that he went to her as well. I figured, who better to get a recommendation for a massage therapist than another great massage therapist!! Christy is very warm, welcoming, listens well and immediately puts you at ease. I really like a good deep tissue massage, and Christy is really one of the best. She is really gifted in this area. I felt relaxed and comfortable at all times. I plan on going back on a regular basis. I highly recommend Christy.

**BEWARE** This is not a spa. It is located in a run down office park. The interior decor is…read moreequivalent to the basement bedroom of your hippie friend from high school: Scarves draped over lights , oil splattered on the walls and cheap wall hangings. I should also mention the hot stones and towels that are kept warm in crockpots. I "experienced" the ionic foot bath. I sat in a metal folding chair with a cheap blanket thrown over it. The technician, if she had a license, probably printed it from a fictitious website. I am sorry to have to post the unvarnished truth about this place, because the owners are very nice. It unfortunately, is absolutely not a 5 star spa as most of the reviews would have you believe.

Hot stones and aromatherapy is included, which is a lovely addition. My ONLY issue with this business is not honoring an E gift card one year. I purchased a few gift cards from them and I feel that this small business is definitely doing well enough (opened a second location) to honor gift cards past one year. I would suggest not purchasing gift certificates from them or for other people as gifts.
