It took her over a week just to call me back to set up an appointment. Then, she set up an…read moreappointment for me 2.5 weeks after that. The day of the appointment(today), I texted her back just to confirm the appointment, and she wrote back and said yes. I show up 10 minutes early and start to fill out paperwork and she is getting the room ready for me, and another women shows up and says she has an appointment. The lady then takes her to the room, and comes back to me and tells me I have to leave and she didn't mean to schedule an appointment for me, and she doesn't know when she will have another time.

Kathleen is BACK!!!…read more My search for an LMT that is professional, listened, and knew how to treat the aches/pain/stiffness ended when I found Kathleen years ago. Then she took a break and my journey to find a new LMT was very difficult. If you've had a few bad massages, you know the pain isn't just physical. It can also affect you mentally/physically. I felt like I could get no relief and had to start acupuncture and PT (both are great) but always felt something missing (and my achy neck/shoulders/back is a constant reminder). So I was overjoyed (to tears amidst childlike giddiness) to stumble on Kathleen's reopening of Simple Gifts and in my fave little Old Town EC. Kathleen takes the time to understand your specific needs, comfort level, preferences, and any quirks. She takes the time to get acquainted thus giving you the best massage experience. And when I say that she takes the time, she does NOT take it out of your scheduled massage time! You get the time you booked. No one else has helped me feel so relaxed, sleep better, fall asleep while getting a massage and even have a wonderful emotional experience while being massaged. Pure bliss and enjoyment of letting all that -ish go. You know that knot that you just can't seem to get to and no one else seems to hit it either? Kathleen pinpoints it and all you can do is let out a wonderful sigh of "Ahhhh, that's the spot". The new location is the old Quiet Time Hypnosis, so it is comfortable and quiet in old town EC. So it is across the hall from the previous location if you've been years ago. There isn't heavy scents to cause allergic reactions, excessive oiliness, eccentricity or any of that. It is a cozy, simple, relaxing, and comfortable environment. If you like it warmer or cooler; dimmer/brighter, etc, simply ask. Kathleen is truly an expert and has the most skilled talents to get to the knots and work them out. And she listens!!! I highly recommend Kathleen as she is a truly gifted LMT and wonderful human!

My husband surprised me with a massage from Full Circle. I decided to use it when I was having a…read morestressful week so I made an appointment. This location was a little hard to find. I was looking for commercial location but it ended up being in a residential home. There is only street parking available. I didn't know which doorbell to ring so I rung both until someone opened. The area was clean and well put together. There was only one masseuse so I had to wait until she finished. Communication is really bad. As I was arriving to the location for my scheduled massage, I got a message saying she wouldn't be able to take me until an hour later. I was already at the location so I didn't have much of a choice but to wait. The massage itself was very pleasant! One thing I didn't like is that it kept getting interrupted. She had a young daughter maybe about 2-3 that kept walking in so it wasn't very relaxing. She didn't have a babysitter which I understand it can tough but I wish she would've disclosed that and allowed me to change my appointment to another time. I feel like this would've been a 5 star experience without the interruptions and long wait times, hopefully it was a one time thing!

This was probably the massage that I've ever had (granted, I've only had a couple)…read more I got a groupon for the couples massage. I had a little trouble booking in the beginning because everything is done over Facebook messenger. We had some trouble finding a date that would work, and when I asked if they had any future Saturdays available, I was sent an appointment confirmation for a future Saturday. I was a bit surprised when I was sent an appointment confirmation before I had confirmed the date, but part of this could have been a misunderstanding. However, that specific Saturday did not work for me, so I was fortunately able to reschedule. Also, groupons are required to pay an additional reservation fee. I also screwed up where the massage was actually located. Even though they sent a detailed Facebook message about where the service center was located, the groupon and apple maps linked to their office. I accidentally went to their office instead of the service center. I began freaking out because we were going to be late. We ended showing up 15 minutes late to the service center. I was calling frantically to explain our situation. My boyfriend and I were super stressed, but as soon as we walked in, everyone was calm and understanding. Mel did an amazing job. Instead of massaging my boyfriend and I at the same time, we went one at a time. One of us would sit on the couch and watch while the other was massaged. It was a really cool experience because we could see what Mel was doing, and I was able to take mental notes. Mel ended up going over the time we booked for, and I am very grateful for that. We had a great time chatting with Mel while she massaged us. My boyfriend and I went in extremely tense and stressed, and we left feeling relaxed and calm.

I cannot do without my monthly massages! Wandee is a jewel!

She WOW'd me as she told me what she would do and I was very impressed of her knowledge. She is humble, soft-spoken, and her atmosphere and aura is relaxing. You can book and alter on her website which makes things very easy. I adore my massages from her and always look forward to my next one.

This was a frightening experience. The therapist was late to the appointment for starters. I was…read morethen led down to the basement where her studio was and asked to undress behind a shower curtain held from a few strings on the ceiling. The sheets on the bed had a very odd smell and appeared to be old bed sheets from someone's home. The therapist talked through the whole massage and made me feel generally very judged and uncomfortable. As previously stated, it seems apparent she is not professionally trained as a massage therapist. Be sure to adhere to the pre massage rules as stated in the YouTube video that's sent out when scheduling. I strongly believe this was the longest hour of my life. Needless to say, I will not be back and absolutely cannot with a sound mind, recommend this business to anyone.

The rented place reeked of stale cigarettes…read more Additionally, although I can't speak of the actual massage (I never got one), I can say that April was rude and spoke to me in a very condescending manner. I am new to MD, and this was my first time driving in to Baltimore. I arrived late due to my GPS routing me the longest way ever, and April took it upon herself to lecture me on why I should never use GPS and that I should have taken 83 (which she had recommended on our convo earlier that morning). I didn't feel comfortable taking word of mouth directions, and she did not understand this. Also, knowing that I was going to be late, I tried calling her before my appt. but she NEVER picked up her phone. Later on she explained that it was an "internet phone" bc she couldn't answer on her cell phone. She never called ME after I was obviously going to be late. This whole situation could have been avoided if I had just been able to get in touch with her to explain and try to reschedule. But she never picked up or contacted me after I was late to try to see where I was! On top of this, she charged me $10 cash for her (filthy) rented space and hour lost. I requested a refund on livingsocial as soon as I got in my car. NEVER. EVER AGAIN.
