This is a great massage boutique studio. Tucked away in a Pueblo-type commercial building is a serene room that is perfect for a massage. Everything is set up online and checkout is easy since you already provide your credit card info up front. I highly recommend the 90 min since 60 min isn't enough time. It is about 20 minutes from downtown and close to nail salons, restaurants and shopping if you have other things to do in the same day. read more

My wife and I had a 1hr couples massage and it was an awesome experience. The only thing I regret is not booking a 90min massage vs. 60min as it was not enough time. :( We upgraded to deep tissue and hot stones and it was worth it! We will definitely make it a routine to come back every few weeks. Thank you Space Massage Studio! read more

MegAnne was absolutely amazing! I had expressed my problem areas/problems and she worked her magic with immediate pain relief. She was very knowledgeable & even voiced activities that I can do at home for pain relief as well. I've had massages in the past, but not one like hers. I will be returning & recommend her to everyone! Thank you, MegAnne! You're kind & wonderful at what you do! read more

Excellent massage by Zachariah for my boyfriend. I bought him a birthday present (and he's very picky) and had nothing but good things to say. Will be returning soon! read more

From scheduling to post massage, space does a thorough job of customer service. I called in a day before I wanted my massage thinking I'd have to wait until next week since it was already getting closer to the end of the week. John put me on the schedule the next day with Cory for a signature massage. At first I wasn't sure what was going to happen because I originally told him I wanted to do Thai but based on the symptoms I had it just turned into a regular massage. I went in without knowing the take of your shoe before coming in policy. So be sure to take your shoes off at the door! I got a big room to myself. Had ample of room and time to get undressed and get under the covers. I can see they are considerate as they have a hair tie off the side. As I'm always struggling to remember to bring something to these type of sessions so I was appreciative that they thought ahead. Started out asking for the areas of focus so Cory knew where to focus on. Immediately asked about the pressure and was very consistent for the entire 60 minutes. Very attentive as he did ask whenever i stiffened a bit at the pain once in a while. I usually don't fully fall asleep in these sessions but I passed out cold. Definitely will come back again. read more

Go here. No really, go here. Beautiful space and aesthetics. And one of the best massages I've had in a long time. And I've had hundreds, all over the world. You know how you get massages , and they're just ok? Just massages? Then there's some that feel like experiences. That's this. Had the 90 min signature. Gabbie is amazing. Will absolutely be back when I'm back in town. read more

I cannot stress enough how much this massage studio is an amazing experience. The space, the staff, the rooms, and the expertise of each therapist is CONSISTENTLY incredible. Booking: There are multiple ways to book, which include MindBody, email, texting, and calling. The studio will ALWAYS confirm your appointment so that you feel prepared to arrive on time for your appointment. CheckIn: There is always a friendly face when you open the door. The welcome area is the first place that you'll settle in to relax. But you won't have to wait long. The therapists are on time and respect your schedule. The Experience: The rooms are beautiful. Each with a little bit of difference. Your therapist will always go over what to expect, check your comfort level, give you space, and allow you to settle in. If you are there for an injury, recovery, relaxation, or me time ... There is absolutely a professional on staff to make sure that they are able to help you.. I have booked multiple sessions here and I have never ever felt like my therapist was watching the clock. They're full attention was on the work they were doing. Check Out: You have plenty of time to enjoy the benefits of your massage, you will not be rushed out of the room. They give you time to settle, offer water, and then always walk you out to the checkout area. They make recommendations on what they found during the massage or what you should focus on next time. They do not concentrate on selling you anything. Their primary purpose is to make sure that the massage did the work that it was supposed to do. Always an amazing experience. There really is no other place in Phoenix to go ... Until they open a second studio! read more

Holy Cow! I just had the best massage I've had in a long time. It's been so challenging to find someone who's not timid about applying the pressure required to loosen the muscles in my back and shoulders. Gabby knew just when to work an area a bit more and when to apply extra pressure. I loved what she did with my shoulders. Then I loved what she did with my hips and then my neck! It just kept getting better! I feel like I could take on anything now. I think I found my new massage therapist! read more

I found my new massage place :) right down the street from my house, everyone is so welcoming and the studio itself is very calming. My next appointment I will do 60 minutes instead of 30 definitely worth it to treat yourself with one regularly. read more

Listen this was hands down THE BEST massage I've had!! I'm sooo glad I did a thorough research before just choosing any place to go to. I mean the ambiance, the relaxing studio, the professionalism and the service is beyond me! I can't forget how reasonably priced Space Massage is. You cannot beat those prices at all. I chose to book the owner, John, after reading plenty of reviews and was not disappointed. John is very knowledgeable, personable, wanted to get to know me first and made me feel soo comfortable. He knows his stuff in the massage world! I got a 90 minute massage with added on hot stones and aromatherapy. Whew!! What I loved the most is that he let me know upfront that he does not talk during the session which was perfect. I have had a therapist to talk my head off when I wanted to truly zone out and relax. Like I told John, I need him in my hometown, Birmingham, AL! This experience was worth every penny! read more

Vanessa - as always - did a great massage. I returned from a two-week road trip to Kansas across Nebraska to Colorado. 2800 plus miles. Hips, back, and hands needed work. I feel so much better. Space Massage is my go to place after traveling. can't wait until they open up their new space. I'm sure it will be a warm and welcoming and evoke a sense of calm. I was into mindfulness today and even noticed how nice the thread count was for the sheets. lots of small touches add up. read more

From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. The studio is exceptionally clean, inviting and relaxing. It was 90 minutes of heaven for me and I am so thankful I decided to try this place. Will absolutely be coming back!! read more

Massage was mediocre. I requested a certain area be focused on which wasn't really the case. Also, I had asked in advanced for stretches or anything to ease tightness and she was anything but knowledgeable. When asking for advice she told me to use my phone and go on YouTube... not very professional. read more

I have been to this studio on multiple occasions and had wonderful experiences each time. They are prompt and friendly. The ambiance is calm and welcoming. With very reasonable prices this has quickly become my "go to" spot for a reliably good massage. read more

Extremely clean environment and great hospitality. This location makes you feel safe and allows you to receive the health assistance you seek. All professionals here are knowledgeable and will try their best to enhance your body and overall, health. If you have tension in your body, I absolutely suggest that you give Space Massage Studio a chance to upgrade your life! read more

Thank you, Anna, for the wonderful massage! I feel so relaxed and brand new! I will definitely be back. To anyone in need of massage, schedule with Anna - she is amazing! read more

I recently relocated from Vegas to Phoenix. After moving and unpacking, I was in desperate need of a massage. After looking at yelp reviews for best massage studios, I found Space Massage Studio. I booked an hour massage with Rebecca. She was amazing! She applied the right amount of pressure and was very professional. I left there feeling relaxed and calm. Ashley the receptionist was so sweet and welcoming. The check in and check out process was easy and efficient. The vibe in the massage studio is calm and soothing. The decor is warm and inviting. I will definitely return for future massages. I highly recommend Rebecca and Space Massage Studio to anyone in need of a massage. read more

This place is wonderful, I came in for a 1 hr massage with Brianna ... the moment I open the door it felt so peaceful and relaxing I fall in love instantly with the atmosphere... Once I was taking back to the room she took very good care of my upper back, since we talk about that was the area where I needed therapy the most As a hairdresser my self I try to find the person who will help me take care of my shoulders and upper back and she kill it ... best experience ever Brianna is the best .. I will definitely be back read more

60 minutes felt like 60 luxurious hours. Nearing the end of the dreadful 2009 year, I desperately needed a massage stimulus package. A retweet from a trusted friend tipped me off that Space Massage Studio had a few openings that very weekend. After one visit, I'm hooked. Whenever I need a midday breather, I'll close my eyes and dream of this recuperative experience. LOCATION: Space is across the street and around the corner from the crosshairs of the LGO phenomenon. Lucky me, I've had a chance to visit several the Valley's multi-million dollar spas, but each one lacks a little soul. However, Space is located inside the humble abode of master massage therapist John Hill. I can only dream of having such prime locale for a home, let alone a business. INTRO: Ring the door bell and John invites you into his home. He's genuinely interested in your day and asks about your lifestyle, physical needs, special requests, habits and personal interests. The causal intro makes you feel relaxed and welcomed like a returning dinner guest. We chatted about life in Arizona, business, busy lifestyles and desperate need to unwind and indulge in a restorative massage. THE STUDIO: After you've enjoyed the B&B-like hospitality, John leads you next door to the massage studio where a serene setting with diffused natural light, warm wood floors, relaxing music and delicately scented candles await. The expert attention to detail is evident as all five senses are instantly relaxed when you step into the studio. Everything is customized. John asks me about my music preference, desired room temperature, lighting... nothing is left to chance. Everything is about my needs. THE MASSAGE: 60 minutes felt like 60 hours. Using the consultation, he mapped out a battle plan to conquer my ailments. John zeros in on the problem areas but also hits the unexpected spots that truly alleviate my tension and stress. This is ultra-comfort and affordable (mandatory) luxury. EMBARRASSING MOMENT: I'm a terrible customer. I failed to read the "cash or check preferred" statement on Space Massage Studio's site! John was kind enough offer an alternative PayPal payment option, but to my horror... it didn't work. Nor did my debit card withdrawal at LGO's dreaded ATM! John never fretted during the entire situation. In fact, he just smiled and suggested I mail him a check at my convenience. Long story short, I left, then returned 15 mins later with the cash in hand. He was a saint. WHY I LOVE IT: Visiting Space is like visiting a friend's house for dinner. You're instantly welcomed and pampered as an honored guest. Warning: After your massage session, you'll be haunted by wonderful dreams of specialized treatments, John's charming personality and traditional hospitality. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: You'll make a new friend. I did. read more

John isn't just a massage therapist. He's a muscle rehabilitator in many aspects. He really wants to try to get to the root of your pain or soreness, not only through massage, but through adequate prevention, whether it's through change in posture, or relaxation techniques that you can do outside of his studio. The studio itself has moved from its original location, 4 blocks away in a professional building complex. His studio is on the 2nd floor, and while there is a parking lot, about half of the spots are reserved parking, which can mean there is a paucity of spots during busy times of the day. After filling out the new client form, John went over all the questions, and discussed probable causes of muscle soreness and tension, and ways to ease up on tension in my everyday life. While your typical idea of a "deep tissue" massage involves hard kneading at your muscles, possibly causing some additional soreness to relieve those tight knots post-massage, John operates on a different modality. He prefers to use various techniques to relax the muscles without causing post-massage pain, which is counter-intuitive to him. During the massage, he used a mixture of different massage techniques, from stretching, to shiatsu, adding heat to further ease muscle tension. Each massage is specially tailored to your situation. John carefully thinks about all aspects of massage, even using a special almond oil because those with nut allergies will not have problems with it (Technically, an almond is a seed). Ever get one of those days where you just wake up angry? (Or maybe it's just me) Well, I was having one of those days, but after my massage, I was feeling great! I was ready to take on the world with a relaxed and refreshed demeanor. The price of a 60 minute massage is $80, regardless of type. John operates as a one-man-show, doing the booking and confirmations himself. His massages are definitely worth it, whether you are needing a general relaxation massage or coming in with chronic pain problems. read more

I was lost, but now I'm found! After seeking out the answer to my massage prayers, I thought I found it. The massages weren't ever perfect, but almost perfect. I've had my fair share of horrible massages and so when I found a place that could release my pain, I didn't want to look elsewhere.... Until he found me. John saw a bad massage review I made and sent me a message. I've seen his business with raving reviews before and I was somewhat skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and didn't want to look elsewhere for a massage, but I thought, "it can't be any worse than what I've had before, right?! And who knows? Maybe he can help me, release me from this pain, and set me free?" I booked an appointment and I walk into this very zen, calm, cute room and I see John. He spends a good 10-15 minutes talking about my pain, what am I looking for in a massage, and studying me to help me. He was so passionate about knowing and helping me. He said he works differently and I didn't know what he meant at the time. I walk into his massage room and when I lay on the massage table, it was then I turned a new leaf. I fall into relaxation bliss and as he works out my kinks, I feel more at ease and relaxation. It was THE best massage I've ever had! It was incredible! And yes, he does work differently. He helps you to be more open and in balance. Hallelujah! John, you are my massage savior! read more

Kayt was my massage therapist...fantastic experience with her! 5 STARS without a doubt!! ANYONE WHO GOES HERE WILL HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! She has a unique energy about her, and with the fact that I have had many massages over the past 10 or so years, the experience I had with her will stay was memorable. And I slept well last night! The aromatherapy and hot stone additions were fantastic as well!! Set your appt. today! I would definitely recommend Kayt to anyone looking for a great massage that leaves you feeling refreshed and like a new person. I'm sure the other therapists in their office are fantastic as well, but I can speak only to my experience. However, the pictures and bios on the web site all look great and like people who care and attentive, so I can assume any client will be in good hands, and I'm sure they are all great healers. I've worked in different capacities, which is part of why I appreciate Kayt's approach so much...I have worked in retail/sales, other customer service positions, and my own career is in healthcare. In my opinion, the best kind of massage experience is the one in which the practitioner starts and proceeds with the massage, using her intuitive and kinesthetic reasoning in order to sense what areas need the most attention, regardless of what areas a client circles on the intake form. Thank you, Kayt! She is the perfect balance of strength and gentleness in her approach to massage. I wouldn't want a single thing changed. It is the entire experience that she created in the room that makes it so memorable. The above is the main message of my review. I recommend basing your decision on whether or not to get a massage here on the above comments. Below is my own ranting about a minor part of my experience with this business, and the length of the comments below reflects my own experience, again, so in no way is it meant to discourage anyone from going here, because you definitely should get a massage here! We all have things about people from time to time that may bug us. I should say that Kayt listened to my feedback about the below with grace and respect, so again, I very much appreciate how she handled my complaint. With that said, one thing I've learned in over a decade of working in my field, and even before that in jobs I held is that, when a person in a position of service makes a mistake, taking responsibility for a blunder goes a long way. In that moment, there is an opportunity to make it right and to create a great experience for a customer/client. With that said, I did not have a positive experience with the person who answered the phone when I initially called to set the appt. He told me he would send an email with details about my appt, and I even spelled out my email for him more than once. Maybe 10 or so minutes after the call had ended, I called him back to let him know I did not get any email. He made no effort to address that and sounded indifferent. He then said he would text me at the number I provided earlier, but then just texted me at the number I called on (a different phone number). Perhaps I caught this person on a "bad day", and we certainly all have them, but that's on him, not me. I think his behavior went beyond someone having a bad day. He should own it and, especially in his line of work, should know that a potential customer (especially a first-time one) can be turned away with that kind of phone manner. Despite the above grumbling, my main point is that anyone in a position of service to others (and certainly in the massage business), putting in ZERO effort to correct mistakes (as human beings, we all make them) just plain sucks. When I called back without having received an email or any other information, and the guy didn't show any reaction, even something simple like, "Hey, my mistake!", that was very off-putting. What added to that was that I never got an email from him. The text he eventually sent me (to the wrong phone number, not the one he asked me to give him) demonstrated more indifference and laziness, and was a very crudely written message about the parking lot, and it was as if I was a courier delivering a package or something to their office. It was as if he just wanted to get the information he needed from me for my appt and then to hang up. I found his overall behavior or be quite rude, in case you can't tell! Often, when people call in for a massage, they are doing so because they need to relax from life's stressors. This poor phone manner does not help. read more

I had an opportunity to get into Space for a massage while traveling to Phoenix this week and it changed my week entirely! After moving and being sick with a sinus infection I had little to no time to recuperate before a business trip came up. I called and by chance was able to confirm a (90!!) minute massage with John, the owner of Space. John was fantastic. He made me feel very comfortable and I relaxed immediately. The techniques he used worked so well that my headache was relieved and my knots were gone. I cannot tell you how important a good massage is and I try to have them regularly. I hope if you are in the Phoenix area you give Space Massage Studio a call, BTW- the "space" is beautiful and so well thought out, but the massages are fantastic! I will return on my next and all visits! Thank you John. Tami read more

Was searching for a deep tissue massage after a week of gnarly workouts! Booked this one and had an appointment within 2 hours. Sarah at the front desk helped me with the booking process and was extremely friendly with great customer service! Vanessa was a wonderful massage therapist and I highly recommend her! Best massage I have ever had, and I have had a lot and in many countries! Vanessa made me feel comfortable, went over my concerns and even offered a treatment plan moving forward, care for at home and stretches! I will be back! Thank you Sarah, Vanessa and SpacePHX! read more

I was in Phoenix visiting and had an amazing 90 minute massage with gabby. The office is beautifully decorated and very peaceful and inviting. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Phoenix read more

We visited Space Massage Studio for a couple's massage. Reservations fill up quickly, so we booked about a week or two in advance. We didn't wait very long in the waiting room. The massage itself was lovely. We chose the aromatherapy option. We liked it and thought the aromas were subtle but nice. Both masseuses did a great job at targeting our needs, and we still feel great. We'll be back! read more

Yesterday I had the pleasure of coming back to Space for an appointment with MegAnne. The last time I visited was in March 2020 before the pandemic had caused the studio to cancel any additional appointments into March/April. So much has changed over the year! My appointment yesterday was for a prenatal massage as I'm currently 22 weeks (5 months) pregnant. MegAnne helped me feel totally comfortable about what she would do to take care of me during the appointment, and the pressure she used truly helped me relax even as she worked on some problem areas of my lower back (thanks pregnancy). I definitely recommend this place for anyone, they offer other great options for massage depending on your specific needs. Also, their location is very cozy, adds to the level of atmospheric zen for me! read more

By far one of the best massages I've ever had. John was so sympathetic to my situation when I old him that I'm a new mom and my breasts were extremely tender and he had special cushions for me to lay on. He made sure I was very comfortable and you can tell he genuinely cares about doing what he can to relax you. read more

Hailey is a MIRACLE worker. I've suffered for neck pain since a car accident, and have struggled to find a good LMT. She is so passionate and a true healer. The Space has such a welcoming and positive vibe. They even have CBD add-on to their treatments. I'm so thankful for finding this gem in the neighborhood. Everyone could use some healing from SPACE! read more

I went to Space Massage Studio this past Saturday because my boyfriend bought me a gift card for Christmas. This was my first massage, so I didn't really know what to expect. I had an appointment with Stacey, and when I told her this was my first one, I could tell she genuinely wanted to give me the best possible experience. And she set the bar very high!! I work out regularly and have pretty tight and sore muscles everywhere, and when I was leaving from the massage I literally felt like a new person. My body has not felt that good in ages! Stacey did an amazing job, and I felt totally comfortable and relaxed the entire time. From the music to the warm towels to the thing she used to cover my eyes, it was one of those experiences where she provided everything I could need to be more relaxed - things I didn't even know were missing but would have wanted if I didn't have them, if that makes sense lol. My first massage was amazing, and I'm definitely hooked and want to start getting massages more often. And when I do, I'll definitely be going back to Space Massage! :) read more

My boyfriend and I were in town visiting and booked beforehand. We had a 90min couples massage by Randall and Joshua! I've had many massages before but this one had to be the best one so far! My boyfriend enjoyed his as well. Thanks for a relaxing experience!! 10/10 read more

Had a great massage with Dalila. Her skills are out of this world. She applied pressure in the right spots and took care of my neck and shoulder pain. I get massages often and this is the best I ever had. The place is very clean, I highly recommend this place. read more

Deep tissue massage with Randall was great. Very intense but worth it. Friendly staff and great communication.

Space Massage Studio is a great place to go when you want an amazing massage in your neighborhood. The location is perfect and easy to get to, they provide a high quality experience without the hassle or price of a resort spa. read more

John Hill runs the BEST massage studio in Phoenix. Not only have I enjoyed massages from him and many of this talented other massage therapists- but have gifted 3 friends with massages in past 2 years. Look no farther than SPACE for safe, amazingly rejuvenating bodywork. Their professionalism and efficient scheduling are also superb. Thanks for everything ! read more

My husband would give Space Massage Studio 5 stars, he STILL raves about this place even though our visit to Phoenix was over two months ago. The owner is super approachable and friendly, and the masseuses are too. I felt welcome from the beginning. The massage itself for me was good for my husband it was excellent. We'd love to visit again the next time we're in town. read more

I was scheduled with Vanessa but was handed off to another massage therapist. This was due to them both speaking Spanish. I was led to the room by another therapist unsure of what was happening. I was substituted with a massage therapist that said "I don't know what to do with you." I thought it was a joke, sadly it was not. read more

Hailey was awesome!!!! My sister is a massage therapist (but lives on the east coast) so for my birthday she got me a 90 minute massage with hot stone add-on. Hailey was super friendly and warm from the moment I walked in the door, very accommodating to me because I have scoliosis. My sister had wrote out some notes to let my therapist know what exactly is wrong with my back, and Hailey more than obliged to use them! She never once made me feel uncomfortable, the sandalwood oil she used smelled AMAZING, the hot stones were incredible, and her gentleness at my most vulnerable spots was right on the money. I felt relaxed, calm, a lot of stress was lifted, and it was just what I needed! Thank you Hailey for such a wonderful experience/late birthday gift! I will definitely be back and will highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great massage experience. read more

Had an amazing Massage with John today! I'm in from out of town, and felt very safe with their COVID precautions most importantly, but also, the massage was world class. John was gentle but with great pressure, and I loved the heat and stretching which I'm not used to, and really enjoyed. I totally relaxed and felt like John's skill was truly that of a master! Will absolutely be back next time I visit. read more

Let me start by saying that I haven't had a lot of massages over the years as I had never actually had a very good one. I had sprained a shoulder and when I was going through rehab I asked my Physical Therapist if he thought it a good idea to start getting regular massages and he said he did. I had tried the big chain before but was dissapointed so I searched online and found Space Massage Studio. I set up an appointment with Hailey and it was amazing. Now I know what I have been missing. I will be going to visit regularly now. I highly recommend! read more
