First, the Peace Tree is studio is private, calming and inviting. Heather has the perfect touch and seems to know intuitively how much pressure to use throughout - and her presence is so lovely.

I've had foot massages and full body massages there and they are always excellent. The place is clean, people are friendly, and they never short change you on your massage time.

My husband had a totally different experience than I did. He had music and a lighter massage. The thing is I would go back. They know what they are doing. Just be upfront about the pressure.

Went in wanting a foot massage and he started with head, neck, shoulders just to begin the relaxing experience. Oh wait the warm foot bath is how the experience truly began. Allowing feet to warm up before the actual foot and leg and ending with knee massage. Not only did he get every spot, the perfect pressure and well honed technique were much appreciated. They use oil during the massage and generally wipe it off at the end preparing you to slip on your shoes and head out to explore the shops and many restaurants in the adjoining neighborhood. Thank you so much for making my day, week, month!

The front desk staff was very accommodating and got us situated right away. The prices are very fair, and I can genuinely say this was one of the best massages I've had in a very long time. Lee was extremely professional and knowledgeable, especially when it came to pressure points and areas of tension. We will definitely be returning!

There are feelers, and there are healers and Steve of Livewell therapeutic massage is at the…read moreforefront of the healing arts. I can tell instantly when a person puts their hands on me if they have the gift of touch and Steve is the real deal. A beautiful and intimate space with many amazing plants bespeaks of a personal and inviting sanctuary for one to rest and heal. When one entrusts one's body to a healer one must be able to do just that and Steve's gifted technique has been honed over years of applied principles to the point of mastery. He is capable of any level of massage or healing: one only need to specify desired modality and pressure. Massage began with a good epsom salt foot scrub and then progressed to one of the deeper applications of pressure point massages I've ever had in my life, and I've had a few. To use this level of strength and pressure a person really must know what they're doing to effect healing and not injury, and healing is certainly the case here at Livewell massage; one of the finest boutique massage outfits on the planet, sans the boutique pricetag. I was poured a nice cup of some cherry juice at end to hydrate cause man, I was zonked! In a word - Go!

I am looking forward to coming here more often for a massage. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They did a great job of creating a relaxing space. Best $40 I've spent so far on vacation!

I like slow, super deep rhythmic massages and she delivered. My second day, I received a 90 min deep tissue massage with Gina. She did a great job. Could've gone deeper. But I know she tried her best, which I appreciate... She shines with her reflexology massages... Also, I left one of my diamond earrings and she texted me to let me know. I really appreciate her honesty. My mom gifted me my earrings and it is very special to me. Overall, I would come back for a reflexology massage. They do their best, space is clean and the prices are fair. Please tip well because they work hard to bring us relaxation... Thank you, Gina....

Initially, I was a bit apprehensive about the technology-free environment, as I had planned to catch up on emails. However, disconnecting turned out to be a blessing. It gave my eyes and brain the much-needed break they craved. The location itself is a serene oasis. I thoroughly enjoyed moving from the cold plunge to the heated pool, then relaxing by the fire pit, and indulging in the steam room and dry sauna. The eucalyptus steam was an absolute highlight--hands down the best I've ever experienced. Walking out of Refuge Days, I felt rejuvenated and like a whole new woman. This place is a true sanctuary for relaxation and self-care. I can't wait to return and embrace the tranquility again.

Reception was helpful and friendly and facilities were overall pretty clean and well maintained. No issues with the steam room/hot tubs/cold plunge pools and sauna. The only bit that irked me a little was that this place is supposed to be SILENT and also they clearly stated in the rules that there are no saving seats with personal items but these rules were both not enforced, people were talking/laughing and not a single staff was there to remind them to quiet down. Also around the firepits people were leaving their towels to claim spots so it was hard to find a seat around the firepits, 2 of the firepits had no one sitting there but all the chairs had towels on them. The anti-gravity chairs were also really squeaky (like more than normal), so it was hard to relax with all the sounds. Overall a nice place but they really should enforce the rules that they have to make it a more pleasant experience for those of us who are there to relax. Also- not sure why it is so hard for people to follow the rules, i mean are you guys just stupid or illiterate and can't read the signs that say "silence"?

You do not get the care and compassion from someone, let alone a physician/doctor anymore. She truly is changing the face of care in Chinese medicine. She stays in the room while treating you and does anything from massage your neck, change the treatment to benefit another spot of care, talk to you, or just be present. I have recommended Dr. ouchie (hehe) to everyone I know. I have done cupping, acupuncture, and facial gua sha & every treatment has been amazing. Love you Stephanie!!
