Mind and Body is such a hidden gem, I'm so happy I found it! I've been experiencing neck pain and…read more"knots" in my shoulders for several days with no relief, so I decided to try a massage. I used Yelp to find a masseuse close to work and came across Mind and Body, only 1 block away. I texted (and emailed) as indicated on the website for a last-minute/same-day appointment for the 30 min neck and shoulder massage. They were able to squeeze me in this afternoon, and I already feel worlds better. My masseuse (who I believe was Jessica) was great, and was able to talk me through her plan of attack once I described my symptoms. After just 30 min, I feel significant relief in my neck and shoulders- she was very knowledgeable and professional, and did an amazing job. As for the office overall, it is a bit confusing to locate- once in the elevator, you need to press "M" (not 5) to get to the mezzanine level. As other reviews indicate, you are able to hear what's going on outside your room because the room walls do not reach the high ceilings, but this didn't bother me. My room was private, warm and cozy. I also liked that she didn't use a crazy amount of scented oil- sometimes I've left massages feeling like I need to shower. I was able to use my Student ID for a discount, and I did see that there were some specials offered on the Yelp page. I was also asked to pay cash (I believe their machine was down) but they told me this when I made my appointment so I had time to run to the ATM. I absolutely recommend Mind and Body, and I will definitely be back!

It looks like most of what I have to say has been said but I'll reiterate. I've been here twice and…read morehave seen Victoria on both visits: once for an integrated Thai massage and once for Nuat Thai bodywork. No other massage can even compare to these - Victoria is caring, perceptive, and knowledgeable and put me at ease immediately on both visits. Plagued by lower-back pain every few months, both massages have done wonders for my back and the rest of my body. A few other things: they are extremely accommodating with online vouchers. No hassles whatsoever. Scheduling is a breeze (I was able to make both appointments during the week after work). A few other reviews mention the business being in an office - it's since moved to another part of the same building and it's a huge step up: dim, quiet, and a perfect atmosphere for a massage. Really lucky to have a place like this so close. Can't recommend it enough.

I got a Groupon for my husband for a two hour massage. He was reluctant out of worry that the…read moreperson would talk. I assured him no professional masseuse ever talks during massage. I was wrong. She not only talked, but she complained about her college experience, her dentist, her anxieties. My husband came with headphones AND STILL SHE BLABBED ON. Before he even got there, she tried to redeem the coupon, apparently expecting that I would not notice or complain. I wrote to Groupon, called them, and had to issue a check for ID theft only to find it was her who redeemed the Groupon! The sheets were stained. And worse, my husband said it was the most painful and awful massages he'd ever received. He still has bruises! I guess his toe curling and wincing wasn't enough to stop. I am mortified that this was his experience. It was no gift at all-- it was awful. Beware of massage therapists who need to drum up business on Groupon. Clearly there is a reason for it.

When she started Anise Moon in Latham, I couldn't wait to book an appointment, but my mom was visiting and I wanted to treat her first. She had a great experience, but I'll let her share her own story. Months later I was finally home and in a place where I could take a little time for pampering. Altranise was easy to book with and very nice when I got there. My only complaint is that the location is a little hard to find (it's super easy to drive to, but the address wasn't visible), but while I was there, the landlord was installing a sign for The Wellness Cottage now that all of the rooms are filled. Voila--fixed! Altranise made me feel very comfortable and I could tell she was genuinely interested in my past and current health to inform her work. The room was really comfortable and my 90 minute massage was heaven. She knew the exact areas I needed more attention on and I felt like she had the perfect amount of pressure. I only wanted a normal Swedish massage--I'm wimpy and can't handle deep tissue, but I know she would be great working however her client needed help, she really listens. I will definitely go back and my company is talking to Anise Moon about hiring her to do chair massage for the team at the office!
