What took me so long to get here?…read more I think what deterred me most were the multiple over enthusiastic reviews. If you check some of the 40+ reviews you'll get a sense of why I was hesitant. Honestly, I was just searching for a review I think I could trust. Not to say that the writers experiences were not accurate, but one never knows until they've experienced things for themselves. With that, despite my skepticism I forged ahead. When I walked in at first I was put off, as this is in no way a Dobbs Ferry high end spa, but desperation has its motivation. Arrived mid-morning without an appointment. This was risky as other patrons were already there, though luckily space was still available. My massage area, not a separate room, had enough privacy where I felt comfortable. During my session, realization kicked in noting that bells and whistles were not needed nor were they missed. My masseuse, Amy did the necessary and got to work getting those kinks out of my back. The full body massage that followed from head to toe, with a bit of stretching was an added bonus. To say I walked out happy with my massage experience, justifies a return back to this no frills spot.

There is usually metered parking outside and often you can just drop in but it is always better to call to see if she is available. There are no frills at this location, just a simple massage table with a curtain around it and a separate area where cushioned chairs are used for foot massage or for waiting. Ana is a sweetheart and will often explain how the areas of your foot are linked with the portions of your body. Just keep in mind that the massages are more intense than they are relaxing. So if that is what you are looking for Ana is your lady! I have been going there for more than a year and recommend her highly.

A highlight was that the masseuse ended the session with hot stones, which felt wonderful. When I first walked in, the place was relatively empty and peaceful, though it did start filling up quickly. There are two reasons I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. First, as a first-timer, I didn't really know the norms, and the masseuse never checked in to ask if the pressure was okay. I definitely would have liked more pressure, so a quick check-in would have been appreciated. Next time, I'll know to just speak up right away! Second, the relaxing vibe was unfortunately disrupted towards the end. A guy sat next to me and started typing loudly on his laptop and making "mmm" noises before his massage even started. It woke me up and definitely killed the zen atmosphere. Overall, it's a solid place for a foot massage, but I'd recommend communicating your pressure preferences upfront and hoping for quieter neighbors!

Before going in for the service, I reiterated this and I was very clear that I did not want any kind of Thai massage or bodyweight massage. Immediately this person's entire body weight was on me . I began to feel pain and alerted this person, but eventually had to stop the massage because the pain was too great. I ended up leaving 10 minutes in. I have had many deep tissue massages in my life, and I have never experienced this kind of pain. An hour or later, and I can't even move my shoulder. In addition to this, About two minutes into my massage I hear the door open and somebody walked into the room while I was on the table, which was very unnerving and made me feel very unsafe. I was laying there mostly Naked, already not being heard about the type of massage I want only to realize that somebody entered the room and I couldn't see who it was. I do not recommend this establishment. UPDATE: Siya was very responsive to my concerns and very open to finding a solution. They refunded my money and offered a complimentary service. I appreciate their understanding of the necessity of consent and privacy when undergoing treatment. Rating updated to reflect responsiveness.

He told me to imagine putting my thoughts on a boat, let it float, and see what happens. Well, my boat sank... Glad that I didn't sink when lying down on the massage bed at Renaud's Reiki studio during the appointment. Instead, I got much more relaxed and felt like I started floating. I fell a meditation at the session and had very good sleep that night afterwards. Renaud is a great practitioner with a lot of patience and compassion. Before meeting him, I had no idea what Reiki is and the appointment with him was like an adventure. Renaud explained both Reiki and the session to me in details, answered all my questions, and was even willing to give me a refund if I didn't feel comfortable to work with him. He also patiently answered a lot of my new questions after the session and directed me to many useful resources. It had been truly a wonderful experience and I very much appreciate Renaud's help.

It's affordable and in the neighborhood. Not at all glamorous or sexy but it's what you need when you need it. They get busy so if you go with someone or care about being seen at the same time you may want to call ahead so they can have hands on deck. The last time I went I wasn't too happy when it came to giving a tip to an extra person, halfway through my massage they needed to switch my person because of some reason, which I don't care but just consider this if it happens to you because they expect more than a 20% tip for anyone who does work on you (which I get, but I didn't ask for.)

The massages are acceptable, though sometimes too rough; however, my visit today was a particularly…read moreunpleasant experience. I've given them four chances, but today was the last straw. They demand tips--even though I always leave one for a 1.5-hour session--and they are incredibly pushy, forcing you to give them the amount *they* want, even though there is no posted policy regarding tip percentages. If the staff are underpaid, they should demand better pay from their boss; as a customer, I feel pressured into giving an amount I didn't agree to. Anyway, don't go there unless you want a bad experience.
