The classic quandary: Shout from the rooftops about the amazing new thing you've discovered because…read moreyou want everyone to know about it or keep it all to yourself? My wife and I found our new go-to in Paula. Thank you Google for helping us find her. She was just perfect. So kind, attentive and engaged. The best part is she lets you choose your own music playlist for maximum relaxation. Without a doubt my favorite massage experience, (besides the couples massage on our honeymoon in Kauai...) But Paula is a true pro and we can't wait for the next one. Well Done!

From the get go Paula was highly invested in my well being. She researched solutions to chronic…read morepain and illness on an ongoing basis and varied techniques according to what I was feeling. She always introduced up-to-date products and provided suggestions for the time between massages. She is extremely well versed in the inner workings of anatomy and deeply giving to client needs. Her stone massage is also highly unique - using the stones as a tool for penetrating the tissue - and feels amazingly therapeutic and relaxing. From the minute you walk in the door you will feel relaxed and taken care of. A true gem - Highly recommend!

I had the most wonderful experience with an oncology massage from Kari at Simply Massage. From the…read moremoment I walked in, Kari created such a calm, safe, and genuinely caring environment. She is incredibly knowledgeable about working with people going through or recovering from cancer treatments, and you can tell she approaches her work with both skill and heart. The massage itself was gentle, thoughtful, and exactly what my body needed. Kari took the time to understand my history and adjusted everything to make sure I was comfortable the entire time. I left feeling relaxed, supported, and honestly a little lighter -- both physically and emotionally. If you're navigating cancer treatment or recovery and looking for someone who truly understands oncology massage, I cannot recommend Kari enough. Belmar is lucky to have her. Thank you, Kari, for the healing work you do.

To say I'm a little picky about my massage therapists is a bit of an understatement. When I moved…read moreto Brooklyn, I was so relieved when I found Cara Heerdt and I can't imagine going to anyone else on a regular basis. Cara is thoughtful and in-tune with whatever is going on with my body. I've probably had more than 100 massages in my lifetime and Cara is definitely one of the best. Things I love: - cupping massages - this isn't for everyone, but I've found this to be an effective treatment for me - effective treatments without pain - I used to think it was a good thing when I felt a little hurt after a massage, b/c it meant they really applied deep pressure. No, no, no. Cara has shown me that I can feel release in my muscles and it doesn't need to hurt. - caring and healing vibe - Cara is simply a wonderful human. You want to trust the person who is working on your body - and I trust her completely. She is attentive and checks in - even though I've gone to had more than 20+ appointments with her. She never assumes anything and ensures I'm comfortable throughout the treatment. Things to know: - atmosphere - If you want a luxe spa experience, this is not it. It's a relaxing experience, but it's more of a yoga studio/healing vibe. - online scheduling - you can schedule appointments online!

I had been going to Cara Heerdt for years at Element Spa, so when she went out on her own, I was…read morethrilled that I could continue to see her in the neighborhood. Though quite frankly, her services are worth the trip if you don't live close by. I must stress that this isn't a normal massage as Cara is completely in-tune with what your body needs and can adjust her technique to match what she reads from your body and your overall energy. I feel like I am floating on air after I leave a session with her and always have a much better state of mind. Cara is by far the best therapist I have ever been to and I can't wait for my next session!

OH MY GOD! I got THE BEST massage of my life (49 years old) at A Kneaded Vacation last night. I had…read morea 90-minute massage by Cheri. The space is warm and cozy--very welcome last night as it was 25 degrees outside. My shoulders were up to my ears, I had numbness down my right arm and right leg. I felt as if I were being stabbed in the neck. Before she even started, Cheri gave me desk exercises to do so I didn't have this problem again. She explained how she was going to massage me as a whole person, not just knotted muscles. I honestly yessed her, to just get started I was in so much pain. Within 15 minutes I could feel my body start to relax. She didn't even touch the bad parts--well not where typical massuses go. She hit various points simultaneously, and I am going to sound redundant, but I kept feeling parts of my body get out of spasm and relax. I am taller and straighter. I don't have any numbness or pain. I slept for the entire night. I didn't move from where my head hit the pillow. This NEVER happens. And a full day at the desk, using the techniques she taught me...MAGIC. My shoulders are still normal and I'm not hobbling when I stand up. If you are looking for real benefits, this is your place. Enjoy and be well.

A really excellent massage with Darren. It was slightly different from what I am used to with a bit…read moremore focus on pressure points, but in my opinion that made the massage more effective. It was equal parts pain relief and feel-good relaxation. Darren is one of the most attentive masseuses I've had the pleasure to work with.

No locker rooms or saunas or tea, etc. Just a great massage.

I had a 12:15 massage appointment and arrived early at 12:10. At 12:15, I was told my therapist had…read morea personal issue and would be 45 minutes late. No apology was offered--just a suggestion that I "go eat in the area and wait." Since I had other commitments, I left upset, then returned to ask about rescheduling. The only option was hours later with a male therapist, which I agreed to, but I also asked what they could do to make up for wasting my time. The receptionist said the owner would decide. The response: 20% off. I couldn't help but notice that their policy charges customers 50% for canceling without 24 hours' notice, but apparently when they cancel last-minute, my time is worth far less. Overall, I found the service dismissive, the lack of apology unprofessional, and the resolution unfair.
