I recently moved to Richmond & was immediately trying out places for massages. I loved my previous…read moremassage place & needed something accommodating for my chronic illnesses & with enough availability. I looooove Divine Spark!! Their prices have recently increased to $100+ for an hour session, but honestly, that's more than worth it. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here & I'm so glad my chronic pain can be treated in my new city.

I booked a session here being TOTALLY UNAWARE they are the best rated massage in Richmond, and you…read moreknow what? I left thinking, "That's got to be the best massage I have ever had." I have severe, chronic pain. I got a massage somewhere else--that I won't name here--and my pain was so bad, I let the masseuse use a lot of pressure. I realized this was a mistake the very next day and they'd done some damage, but I could not use my arm--which is a bad situation to be in. A few days later, I got an appointment here with Tiffany. Tiffany was AWESOME. Along with a general massage and cupping, she used a method called scraping--this, my friends, did WONDERS for my arm. The beds are heated. The face-thingies are SOFT (I don't know why I can't find this everywhere). The only downsides? 1. There's no membership option!!! WHY. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY MONTHLY?! 2. There's no rooms for couple's massages, and booking two separate massages at the same time for two different people using their online system is. . .not something it wants to let you do. My trick is to book one massage with another directly after it--both times I've done this, I've been called and asked if that was intentional. Once I explained, they had no problem arranging for me and my partner to both get massaged. 3. When you arrive, there's no receptionist, no front desk--there's chairs and magazines, so you KNOW it's the waiting area, but it can feel awkward waiting and being unsure if anyone knows you've arrived for an appointment. Fear not; It seems these folks are punctual and aware of when a client should be there, so they'll pop out of the room they massage in and get you--don't be weird like me and wander around, making the fact you have social anxiety super obvious, awkward, and everyone else's problem in addition to your own; Sit down and open a magazine and read about Reiki. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. Richmond is flooded with just below average massage parlors/masseuses, which is why you're going to have a hard time ever getting the same, one, good masseuse at a location repeatedly; There's a LOT of turn over because, well. . .Not a lot of people are great at massage. If they are, odds are they'll begin working for a nicer place *cough*Divine Spark*cough* or relocate out of the area entirely. Since Divine Spark is the best, they're priced highly, so I see this place as a place to go when I'm in extreme pain or as a very special treat. Beware--this is a small location and company, so book well in advance if a specific date is important to you. I'm already ready for another appointment, but honestly, seriously, beware; Your next massage elsewhere will leave you disappointed after a trip to Divine Spark.

Hands down one of the best places for massages and facials I've ever been to!!! 1) You don't tip!…read moreThis never happens! Every establishment especially restaurants and fast food give you the option to tip. Not this place! 2) So easy to make the appointment online. Straightforward and manageable. 3) Street parking around the building was easy to find. 4). The place was quaint and peaceful. And it smelled relaxing and welcoming!! The staff were so kind and knew their stuff! I had a massage with Kendall and she was amazing!!! I wish I had more than an hour session because it was perfect. Moderate pressure and made the whole experience so relaxing- I had the hot stones and towels which made the whole experience so much better. Next, I had a facial with Maricela. She listened to my concerns and knew exactly what to do with my poor dehydrated face! All the products she used felt so fresh and clean and smelled so good! She did such a great job that I must've fallen asleep from being so relaxed! Kendall and Maricela did such an amazing job! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a healing touch and walking away feeling rejuvenated!

Coconut Elephant Yoga is new on the scene, but the instructors are well qualified and have great…read moreexperience. Classes currently include Beginner, Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, Flow, and Vinyasa/Pilates. The space is comfortable, with a beautiful original mural as a focal point on one wall. The studio offers the usual bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets, and loaner mats. The studio is quiet (no normal street noise can be heard, although the very occasional fire truck may go by) and the music that accompanies the lessons is in the background but all around you, thanks to the great sound system. Co-owner Kellee is a gem of a yoga instructor -- challenging yet caring, focused yet nurturing. She has taught in several other studios (I have taken lessons from her for four years or so) as well as yoga classes in corporate settings. Kellee customizes her lessons to fit the students' abilities and needs. Alternative versions of postures and poses are introduced as the session progresses to aid those who may have difficulty with the "right" way to achieve the position. She keeps your mind on controlled breathing, focused attention, and peace in the knowledge that you are perfect in the moment, even if you cannot sustain a balance pose as long as everyone else. By the time the class is over, your mind is refreshed, your body renewed, and for the moment peace is restored in a tumultuous world. I have taken classes in other studios from other instructors, and while each teacher brings something that I can learn and take to heart, I have found no classes to compare with those I have shared with Kellee. Not only are they great yoga -- flexibility, strength, balance, mind, body spirit -- they are also a great workout. That's why I drive 30 minutes each way for her classes, and have done so for years as she has taught in other studios. Now that she is part of a partnership in her own space, I know that I have a yoga home. May you find yours as well.

Words will never describe the beautiful experience I had there with Valerie Sargent. I drove an…read morehour to this appointment. The center itself is calming and peaceful. Valerie was warm and it was easy to work with her. She was able to open my Akashic records and help me tidy up healing that desperately needed to be done. She also brought other items to light that gave me insight to things I was not aware of. I am hoping to meet for another session this summer. I highly recommend her work.

From the owner: Valerie is a certified hypnotherapist, Akashic Records reader and Intuitive healer/Artist. She has…read morebeen practicing Reiki and other healing modalities for 20 years, and has been working within the Akashic Records for the last 7 years. The Records contain the record of your soul's existence; you can think of it like a library where all of the books are about you. Work done in the Records offers powerful soul level healing, and enables us to have a more conscious relationship with our own soul. Valerie is a pioneer in working with past life regression hypnosis within the Akashic Records; extending the scope and depth of healing at the soul level not just the ego level. She also works with groups and couples. Don't let distance keep you from getting the healing you desire: Skype sessions available! Valerie is also an artist.

It's located in a cozy home in the fan. There was easy free street parking right outside. My back had been hurting and after endless chiropractor visits, I figured it was time to start working on the muscles. I booked a 90 minute massage. It was my first time going past the 60 minute mark and I felt relaxed because I wasn't worried about there not being enough time. Hailey was incredible. She listened to my concerns and really helped work out the tension in my back. I had an amazing experience here and I highly recommend it to others.

First - JJ is probably the coolest healer you will ever meet! She is so compassionate and…read moreintuitive. The first time I ever met her for an energy healing session, I was instantly at ease. She is an old soul. I felt like we had been friends for years (and it was our first meeting!). I went to her because I had experienced healing touch to deal with stress, back when my father was in hospice years ago. I have had 2 back surgeries since the pandemic and wanted a natural way to deal with the pain. The most amazing thing happened during our session - it was my neck. I didn't even tell her about my neck (because I have been dealing with it so long I honestly didn't think about it). After our session, I was actually able to turn my head 180 degrees for the first time in several years. When I realized that, I remembered what a chiropractor told me a few years back - that he was surprised I was having back issues and not my neck based on my X-rays. How amazing is that? I have been back to see JJ since, and each session is so different, yet so healing, relaxing, comforting and Yes - it works!!! Give energy healing a try, especially if you are dealing with chronic pain. I don't know how to explain it, but JJ makes it work and is amazing at it. I will continue to see JJ, and just so you know how much I believe in her and how amazing the whole experience is - I drive almost 2 hours to see her - one way. She is just that effective!
