Been a customer here for just under a year and the one and only issue we had was not handled in a…read moremanner that made us feel valued as clients. My friend and I have gotten a few massages from here and they have been generally good. We both found Sasha to be the most experienced and the best provider at this establishment. That being said, our past and now last visit, was concerning. Our masseuses, Lisa & Sophia had us for 90 minutes and the entire time I was lying on the bed, I was just counting the minutes until the massage was over. I've never had this happen. I have gotten massages everywhere and of course some therapists are better than others, some more experienced and some just flow better with my preferences. Massage on the Beach has generally been on the better side so we were shocked and disappointed during our last visit. There were a few minor inconveniences but the biggest problem was the lack of attentiveness during the massage. Lisa was my masseuse and from the beginning, I sensed she was either unhappy, upset, annoyed or just having an off day. To clarify, she was not rude or impolite towards me specifically, just... off. I didn't have a great feeling from the start. I've had massages where the pressure or specific body part hurts just a little more than I'd like - I specifically tell therapists to avoid my legs because they're hypersensitive - but eventually once the soreness wears, you feel incredibly loose and much better. This wasn't the case here. Harder pressure but slow, coordinated hand motions are pretty much how a normal massage goes. Lisa was essentially jack-hammering my body, almost as if in a rush to get through the 90 minutes. Multiple times I asked her to lighten up on the pressure and she would, then move onto the next body part and resume the extreme pressure and speed. At one point, I gave up asking and just prayed it would be over soon. After my massage, I felt incredibly dis-regulated - the kind of feeling you get after puking - some relief that the pain is over, however, the uneasy queasiness comes with it as well. I don't particularly consider myself an overall anxious person but I was extremely anxious afterwards. In my extremely uncomfortable state, I managed to find some courage and told reception how awful I felt. She was apologetic and offered me a 50% discount and advised if I still felt the need to request a larger discount or complimentary service I should reach out again via phone or email. Life happened and some time passed and I kept procrastinating reaching out then finally found some time to reach out - about a few weeks later. Sent a detailed email with both mine and my friends shared experience - she had the exact same grievances with her masseuse, Sophia, which we found oddly coincidental seeing as we were with two separate masseuses, in two separate rooms, and they both managed to give us the same careless service. Management sent a very corporate-speak email a few days later and I felt it lacked empathy for our experience especially being two members of their service. They ultimately advised that no additional refunds, complimentary services, or other accommodations would be offered. My massage was discounted at the time of the complaint, but my friend paid in full plus tip and did not receive any adjustment. We will be going back to our old massage spot. Closer and cheaper and never had any masseuse take our their frustrations on our bodies there. I genuinely wish this would have been handled differently because we've had generally much better experiences here.

I originally came in for a 30-minute foot massage because my feet were aching--and with "Foot Spa" in the name and the great reviews, it seemed like the obvious choice! Since then, I've started getting the 1-hour Classic Massage, which is a head-to-toe massage for only $45. Even better, the price is the same whether you pay with cash or card, and they accept mobile payments. I actually have a membership at another local massage spa, but I come here when my regular massage therapist isn't available or when I simply don't want to pay the much higher price. At this point, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership and just coming here instead. A few things to know before you go: This is not a private, quiet, luxury spa experience. The massage area is open, you are next to another massage bed, and you can hear people moving around or talking. If complete privacy and silence are important to you, this may not be the right fit. But if your priority is getting a genuinely good, affordable massage, Divine Foot Spa is absolutely worth checking out. They're usually busy, which I take as a good sign, but I've often been able to get a same-day appointment as long as I don't wait until too late in the day to call. For the quality and price, this place is hard to beat. I've had a great experience every time and highly recommend giving them a try--especially if you're looking for a good massage without the high-end spa price tag. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I've had several different massage therapists, and every single one has been attentive, skilled, and genuinely focused on making sure the session is tailored to what I need. Before each massage, they always ask if there are any areas I'd like them to focus on and what level of pressure I prefer. Whether I'm looking to relieve tight shoulders or just unwind, they've consistently delivered one of the best massages I've had. The space itself is spotless, with an elegant, calming atmosphere that immediately helps you relax. The heated massage tables are such a nice touch, because I'm always cold! If you're looking for a true Thai massage experience, they also incorporate techniques like walking on your back (with your comfort in mind), which provides an amazing deep stretch and pressure. One tip: make an appointment. They're popular for a reason, and they book up quickly. They also accept Zelle, which is a convenient way to pay and avoid card processing fees. It's not easy to find a massage place that's this consistent, clean, and professional. This is one of those businesses that earns repeat customers, and I'll definitely continue coming back.

Serenity and Wellness, a sanctuary dedicated to holistic healing, impressed me. From the moment I stepped into the calming environment, I felt enveloped in a sense of peace that set the tone for my experience. The standout feature of my visit was undoubtedly the medical massage. My massage was done by Amy the owner. They call her the healer and now I understand why. Unlike other forms of massage that often prioritize relaxation, this treatment focused on addressing underlying issues. My therapist's impressive knowledge and intuition allowed her to accurately diagnose problematic areas I hadn't even realized were affecting me. This approach is a testament to her expertise, as she tailored the session to target not only immediate discomfort but also potential root causes, ensuring a more profound and lasting impact. Throughout the session, I felt a unique blend of professionalism and genuine care. Amy wasn't merely performing a routine; she is invested in my healing journey. This attentiveness makes a significant difference, transforming a standard massage into a therapeutic experience tailored precisely to my needs. Each technique was executed with precision, and it was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of both anatomy and holistic health. In addition to the treatment itself, her recommendations post-session were invaluable. She provided practical advice and insights for maintaining well-being beyond the confines of the massage room, demonstrating a commitment that extended far beyond the immediate service. This holistic approach, which emphasized healing from the root cause, resonated deeply with me and underscored the importance of comprehensive care. As someone who has experienced various wellness services, I can confidently say that my experience at Serenity and Wellness surpassed my expectations. I left with feelings of gratitude for having crossed paths with a professional so dedicated to her craft. To know that I finally feel like in my healing journey I may just be in the right place. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy at Serenity and Wellness, especially for those seeking not only relaxation but also a way to truly understand and address their bodily ailments. If you're looking for a place where your wellness is treated with the utmost care and where the focus is on healing you from the inside out, this is the destination for you. read more

For years, Serenity & Wellness has been my sanctuary of serenity, where the art of Thai massage transcends mere relaxation into a deeply transformative experience. As someone who frequents this haven regularly, I can attest to its unwavering commitment to excellence and rejuvenation. From the moment I walk through the door, I'm enveloped in an aura of calmness and tranquility. The ambiance is soothing, with soft lighting, gentle music, and the subtle aroma of essential oils guiding me into a state of relaxation even before the massage begins. The therapists at Serenity & Wellness are not just practitioners; they are true artisans of their craft. With each session, they skillfully blend traditional Thai techniques with intuitive touch, creating a customized experience tailored to my body's unique needs. Whether it's releasing tension in my shoulders, soothing tired muscles, or promoting overall wellness, they consistently deliver results that exceed my expectations. What sets Serenity & Wellness apart is their unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. The therapists (Amy) undergo rigorous training, ensuring that every massage is executed with precision and care. Their dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of the experience, from the warm hospitality of the staff to the immaculate cleanliness of the facilities. But perhaps what keeps me coming back time and time again is the profound sense of rejuvenation I experience after each session. Beyond the physical benefits of improved flexibility and reduced tension, Thai massage at Serenity & Wellness nurtures my soul, leaving me feeling centered, grounded, and ready to take on the world with renewed vitality. In a fast-paced world where self-care often takes a back seat, Serenity & Wellness serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize my well-being. It's not just a luxury; it's an essential investment in my health and happiness. I am grateful for the oasis of relaxation that Serenity & Wellness provides and look forward to many more blissful sessions in the days to come. read more

Wow! I've searched for years and years for someone like Amy and Serenity Thai Therapy. I've dealt with over 10 years of back and neck pain and have gone through physical therapists, massage therapists, doctors, etc. and not one of them was able to help me like Amy has. She has an amazing ability to feel your pain, get to the root of it and get rid of it. I've heard the other therapists are awesome too. The outside strip-mall look doesn't do the interior justice - inside the place is very clean, modern, quiet and comfortable. The service is always excellent, Amy and the other staff are very sweet, and the price is more than decent. Highly recommended!! read more
