The best massage Ive ever had. I love this place and am so spoiled by it now that I am ruined for all other massages. I cannot recommend enough. Go here. You will not be sorry read more

I have had many massages from a variety of therapists and John is at the top. The environment is totally relaxed, yet professional. I gave him my laundry list of issues, aches and pains....and he listened! Every time I see John I remember why I keep going back. You want a great massage? Go see John read more

I LOVE this place. They also preach about "state of mind." Very calming, enjoyable, holistic experience, more than just a massage. If you interact with John, he does a great job making you feel comfortable and delving into your mental frame. This is the real deal - A+ read more

Still 5 stars!!! Space has recently moved to a new 'space' but that is all that's changed - the massages are still of the highest quality & John is thoughtful & deliberate in determining the needs of your body. I recently had a spa day at the royal palms for Mother's Day & during the quick massage that was part of the body scrub - I thought 'I wish I was getting this massage & space!' Seriously - none of the spas in the valley offer the quality that Space does! And for that, my back is happy! read more

Believe the hype! This was literally THE BEST massage I've ever gotten! I told him he ruined all other massages for me. I'm sad I'm from out of town and wasn't able to go back, but yes, I highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Valley spas for about 10 years now, and while there are some fantastic, beautiful spas around, I still hadn't found the right massage therapist. I finally found John. I've never scheduled a massage on an "emergency basis". After months of traveling without any down time, my body had finally said enough. With how tight my shoulders, neck and lower back were I thought I must be walking around looking like Quasimodo. Within one 60 minute session, I felt like the world had been righted. I was a little hesitant trying someone new, based only on Yelp reviews, and going to their house, but when every single person who has done a review has concurred with 5 stars you know that something special is going on at Space. I'm so glad I gave it a whirl! I booked my follow up appointment before I even left. read more

John Hill at Space Massage Studio is so gifted. He truly knows how the body works and why it stops working or hurts. I went to John with some pretty bad neck pain and he relieved it quickly and without it having to hurt while he did it. The studio is beautiful, easy to find and peaceful. John's manner is gentle and present. He is so unhurried and professional! All in all, this was an amazing experience. I also consider myself a bit of a massage perfectionist because I have had many in my life (one year I went on a weekly basis) and also because as a yoga instructor I understand body therapies and movement to a fairly good degree. John is truly a healer. read more

As a very non-touchy person, massages scare me, which is why I was a little apprehensive when my friend gave me a Gift Certificate to SPACE. However, my fears soon disappeared. John took the time to find out my not only my comfort level but also more about me. He really takes the time to get to know his clients, and I appreciated it. He walked me into the massage studio, and I felt like I had been transported from his Arcadia neighborhood to a beautiful resort spa. I felt very comfortable especially with the tranquil music and just the right amount of natural light. John incorporated stretching into the massage which was perfect for me as a runner. I didn't think I would be able to relax during the massage, but with John it's hard not to. Leaving the studio, I had that same post-yoga glowing/floating feeling. I would recommend treating yourself to a morning at SPACE for a personalized massage experience that is hard to find. read more

This is related to the administrative side of the business since I live in San Diego, only bought a gift card and my BF hasn't yet redeemed it. My BF was in the process of moving to Phoenix right after Valentines Day and I wanted to by him something he would appreciate. Based on reviews I decided for a massage at Space Massage Studio. I called, requested a gift card be over nighted to my address in San Diego so I could personally deliver it to my BF before he moved. The gentleman who took my call was super professional and helpful and everything went perfect. He made suggestions and my gift card just arrived, next morning with no problems or hiccups. Fantastic service! Thanks!!! read more

I was in Phoenix for the weekend and got a massage from John. It was one of the best massages I've ever had. He was very professional, yet personable. His studio is off of his house. The massage was very thorough and concentrated on the areas I told him needed attention. The pressure was neither too firm nor too light. He used a lot of different methods to get my knots out. I felt completely relaxed, and I had a lot more mobility afterward. This is day 3 and I still feel great. I totally recommend!! read more

I had a 60 minute massage with John today. I chose to go to Space Massage Studio solely based on the positive Yelp reviews I had read. John is a very personable gentleman and is truly interested in how he can provide the best massage for you and your particular needs. John focused on my main areas of concern and I felt great after. I call it "massage drunk" - you may call it euphoria. All the other reviews are spot on. John will provide a massage you will appreciate and enjoy. read more

Space is a beautiful studio with an organic clean design very tastefully decorated. It is a warm an inviting space with soft lighting and calming music streaming in the background. I could not wait to escape from the heat outside and get on the table. A chilled towel was placed on my neck as I began to melt into a five star experience. Even the sheets glide over over my skin soft and silky. The face craddle was nice and wide so my face was not smashed. The table was very comfortable I felt like I sank into a cloud. I am a massage therapist so I am very particular about whom works on me. John has a great knowlege of the body and is very professional. John's style and technique is the perfect blend of pressure, flowing strokes and stretching. He has amazing touch with an intuitive approach, you will feel his intention. He knows how to find all the knots and tension and expertly melts them away. What a wonderful experience,he took me where I needed to go. He offers a very specialized experience. I completely lost track of time and felt as if I was floating when I got off the table. He is a master of his craft I highly reccomend that you check out Space. I will be booking a standing appointment and I suggest all of you fine folks do the same. You will not be disappointed. read more

As I discover my own space in this life I begin to realize that I want it filled with people that care about themselves and the well being of everyone around them. I can say that I have always had an amazing massage from John Hill and the positive energy he gives with each massage is the reason anyone should want to enter his Space Massage Studio. read more

John and Brianna were awesome. My friend and I were in town just for a couple of days. We didn't want the resort overpriced massages so looked on yelp. Space had the best reviews and we were very happy with the results. If I lived closer, I would make this my regular massage location. read more

Everytime I visit Phoenix I book a massage at Space Massage Studio. This time I booked with MegAnne and it one of the best massages I have ever had. The attention to detail was amazing and I felt great afterwards. Next time I will book a 90 minute as I didn't want it to end! read more

I had a 90 minute massage with John today and it was one of best massages that I have had. I am visiting the area on vacation and decided to make an appointment with John after reading his reviews on yelp. John takes the time to find out what areas are problematic for you and he uses different methods to work the area. He is very knowledgeable in his craft. I look forward to another massage with John when I am back in Arizona. read more

I've been enjoying John's incredible massages at SPACE studio for over a year, but the last one was extra special. I got my first Thai massage and it was amazing! This massage is received on a futon instead of a traditional massage table. John uses his knees, feet, elbows and hands to work out all those knots. Thai massage is given while you are fully clothed, so it makes a great gift for a novice. John always takes the time to ask questions and he actually listens to the answers! He has a great way knowing right where the problem spots are hidden and exactly the right amount of pressure to help dissolve the kinks. SPACE studio exudes a calming, healing energy from the first step in the door. It's a perfect getaway to transform stress into bliss. read more

Hands down best massage of my life. Found John through Yelp and decided to schedule with him after reading all of his great reviews- and I'm so glad I did! John is professional yet very therapeutic. He takes the time to listen to areas of concern prior to the massage. I quickly learned that John has the hands of an angel & I left my session feeling completely rejuvenated and refreshed. I especially enjoyed the stretching during the massage. Definitely plan to return on a monthly basis! read more

Lets start off by saying I've never been to a male therapist before so i was a little uncomfortable at first. The end experience was excellent, i had been hurting for some time and let me tell ya i felt like a new person the next day. Thanks John and I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon. read more

Best message I've had ever. Warm welcoming studio that wraps you tranquility the moment you step in. My body and mind felt so much better. I can't wait go go back. read more

Same as most, I was a little nervous going to someones home. However, it was as warm and inviting as any massage studio should be. I have been to many massage studios, and have yet to find one that actually listens to what I am saying. Taking the time to speak with me before the massage, was the best personal touch. John is truly the best. Many more visits to come. read more

This place is clean and has a very comfortable and calm atmosphere. I received a massage with Corey and it was phenomenal. He gave me some advice afterwards as well. I will be back for another massage soon :) Thank you so much! read more

I bought a couple of Yelp coupons for my parents, and John was kind enough to make them valid for a couple massage as a gift for the renewal of my parents wedding vows. John and the staff were amazing to my parents and they loved their massage session, thank you so much, we definitely will be back! read more

Yelp, sometimes you disappoint. Today you did not. I made a last minute appointment with Stacey for this evening. I went in with low expectations. After years of hunting, I had already found the perfect therapist for me back home in California and there was no way I'd find someone as good on this spontaneous 90 minute massage booking. I stand corrected. Stacey was **INCREDIBLE**. So, so happy to be living in Phoenix until November so I can continue coming to Stacey!! :) :) read more

In the 10 years I've been getting massages, including many countries in Asia where eastern massage techniques originate, I'm happy to say that this studio is a hidden gem. Brianna's massage was intentional, therapeutic and relaxing. I felt very taken care of and will absolutely be back. I've tried a few other places in the area and this is by far my new favorite. All that aside, the space, decor and music were exactly what I was hoping to find. read more

John Hill gives the BEST prenatal massages: I've come to him through two pregnancies, and have recommended or gifted prenatal massages with him to several friends. He's very attentive to the special issues pregnant women face with massage (back and hip positioning, acid reflux, etc) and is the only therapist I've used that seems to really tailor massage to muscular areas that tend to get especially strained during pregnancy (traps, lower back, hips, etc). He even very respectfully massages the abdominal muscles, which feels remarkably good (and I pretty much won't let anyone touch my pregnant belly). Can't recommend him enough. I've also had prenatal massages with Brianna and Kayt. For me, Brianna's massages were very good but maybe a little less tailored to prenatal issues, and Kayt was just in general a little more intense than I prefer: I like pressure but you can tell her specialty is really deep tissue/myofacial release (for the record, my mother is a Kayt devotee, so it really is just a matter of personal preference!). Overall, can't go wrong with this studio. Relaxing, well-appointed space, and caring and experienced professionals. read more

Awesome spot. I had my first massage with Marna the other day and it was fantastic. Very professional, relaxing, and spot on. She paid close attention to what she was doing and it was a great experience. I definitely plan on going back. PS. My wife had a massage with John when she was VERY pregnant and she still talks about. read more

i have seen john 3 times in the past few months.getting ready to schedule again. his deep tissue massage is amazing ! it's so hard to find a therapist that understands that deep tissue doesn't have to be painful inorder to be beneficial. i highly recommend john ! :) see you soon ! thank you ! read more

Once you go to Space Massage, you will never want to go anywhere else again. Even massages at high-end vacation hotels don't compare to the experience at Space. From the moment you walk in the door and remove your shoes to the conclusion of your massage, it is a relaxing, centering, and healing experience. Not only is it relaxing, but it is also therapeutic. John has an innate ability (backed by years of training and practice) to locate and treat painful muscles, including muscles you didn't even realize were sore! I highly recommend Space Massage - the only thing you will wish is that you had found them sooner. read more

There would be no reason to not give John, the studio and the massage itself 5 stars. I was given the massage as a gift from my boyfriend for my birthday. The studio is beautiful. John is great! He takes time to speak with you about exactly what is going on with your body that day. The entire experience is unique and personalized. I can say that the massage was the best I've ever had. Perfect amount of pressure. I get tension headaches very often and I haven't had one since the massage which is huge for me. He takes so much time before and after the massage to asses how you are feeling. I can not wait to schedule another massage with John. read more

I have been scheduling with John for over 6 years. I have referred him to friends, family, and two employers (plus their spouses.) EVERYONE has said he is excellent and have gone to him again and again. John has been my massage therapist through two pregnancies during which I scheduled regular massages to help my body adjust. Space has a bodyCushion pillow for maternity massage and it is HEAVEN. During my prenatal massages I can lie face down and the pillow supports my back, spine, and hips allowing my weight to be distributed evenly around a belly pocket. As all pregnant mothers know, being able to lie on your stomach while pregnant is near impossible. It is a true treat and joy to be able to lie face down while getting my amazing massage! The pillow has fit my varied sizes perfectly all along my pregnancies. John is highly attuned to my needs, which is the main reason why I have been a loyal client for over 6 years now. Whether pregnant, having soreness from working out, or just in need of relaxation after a long work week, he always adjusts his techniques and style for me. This customization is hard to find at the resorts and "massage mills" that we have to choose from here in the Valley of the Sun. read more

On vacation with the boyfriend and it's our first time in Arizona. We wanted to start the week off with some much needed R n R ... and John and Corey provided just that!! the experience was amazing and they were so welcoming and professional. it was my boyfriend's first massage and needless to say it won't be his last. we may have to fly back out to AZ just for the massage! read more

John is the best massage therapist I've ever visited, and I've been to dozens. John takes the extra time to learn what is going on with you, and he summed up my issues and basically, me, in under ten minutes. With this understanding, John was able to give me the best, most effective and healing massage possible. John's understanding of the body's muscles, structure and how it all works make a massage with him a healthful and healing experience. John's studio is very nice, and his massage room is a definite upgrade from even the tony spa's rooms. His massage table is uber-comfortable, and it adjusts for maximum comfort. The almond oil John uses felt amazing on my skin, and the addition of soothing lavender was a bonus. I loved the soft music in the background; the melodic sweet jazzy sounds, so very soft and subtle, were so much nicer than the traditional New Age dissonant music lots of other places pipe in. I was able to completely relax in a way I haven't been able to do in other massage studios. John was neither too chatty nor too quiet; he struck the perfect balance of conversation, educating me on how to take better care of myself and get the most benefits from massage. I've had massages that have left me bruised, and some that have hurt so much I've stopped them in process. John's massage therapy is on another plane entirely. It's about preparing your body to heal, and it feels healing, relaxing and wonderful. Discussing further ways to continue healing with John was wonderfully informative. John is also a teacher, and he has much wisdom to share. We discussed methods of relaxation, the benefits of yoga, which I'm determined to try, and the importance of making an appointment to take time for yourself. I not only felt amazingly relaxed and rejuvenated after my massage, I felt a lot smarter, too. I'm eager to use the information I learned from John in my daily life, and I'm even more eager to book my next massage! I'm a part-time resident of Scottsdale (for now), and when I'm in town, I live quite near Scottsdale Fashion Square. There are spas and massage studios galore in the area, including highly-touted resort spas at the Phoenician, the Scottsdale Camelback Inn and The Sanctuary. I've visited many, and have had nice experiences. But none have compared to the massage experience I've had with John at Space Massage Studio. For a healthy, healing massage that leaves you feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated,Space Massage Studio is the place to go, and John is the therapist to trust. read more

John is completely AMAZING at what he does. Unfortunately, I do not get to visit him as often as I want. The random times I am able to go, he remembers me, which is completely awesome! John doesn't just give you a massage. He gives an experience. He spends time getting to know about you. And while it feel likes a friendly chat, he uses that to know just where to work and help you relax more. Every chance I get, I recommend John and his studio. He is at the top of my list of all time best massages! read more

I just had massage there . I usually don't comment or review anything like that.. I haven't had a great massage for a while !! He is so fantastic ;) I highly recommend this place!! I definitely go back ! read more

Space Massage is fabulous. First of all, the physical space is great- it's a very calming, comfortable environment that helps add to the experience. John is extremely talented. I've had a lingering shoulder injury and he knows exactly how to work the area to provide some relief from the pain. I had a massage with him earlier today and I'm thrilled with how I feel. I can't recommend Space enough! read more

One of the best, if not THE best massage I've ever received. I was a little skeptical going in since the reviews were ridiculously positive, but this place lives up to the hype. I called for a same day appointment, and they were very accommodating. The massage studio doesn't look like much from the outside since it's tucked away in a commercial building but inside is a very calm, soothing environment. They have you remove your shoes (love it but may not be for everyone? I'm Asian so just felt like home to me ‍) and the therapist goes through a thorough consultation about your pain, location, treatment goals etc. Very professional, very insightful which lead to the most incredible massage I've ever had. I'm a surgeon who is constantly looking down so I have daily neck and shoulder pain. After the massage was one of the few moments I can recall where I was neck-pain free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Just got done having a couples massage...both my husband and I agree that it's the best massage we've ever had! The therapists were so incredibly professional and really tailored the massages to our needs. It wasn't a generic Swedish massage that you can get anywhere...there were pressure and stretching techniques done that I've never ever experienced before. We feel amazing and will absolute come back again! read more

If you are looking for overall wellness and healing, this is the place for a massage. 2 reviews in one. John spent time understanding why I was there and how to address the concerns going on in my body. It's such a relief to have someone that truly listens and wishes to work with you on the same level. As a result sent my partner to another therapist (due to scheduling) and he had an incredible experience as well. It's difficult for him to relax especially for massages and Stacey R. took extra time to ensure he was completely comfortable. He left feeling lighter and more relaxed both physically and mentally. Many Thanks to you both for such great care and healing on our first visits. It certainly won't be the last. Highly recommend. read more

I found this place on Yelp and it was as wonderful as all the reviews stated. My husband and I both had deep tissue massages and were both thrilled with our experiences. The massage therapists were very professional and knowledgeable and payed close attention to the areas of concern that we discussed prior to the massage. I absolutely recommend this massage studio! If you want an excellent deep tissue massage, you need to book with Kayt!! read more
