I should also mention the hot stones and towels that are kept warm in crockpots. I "experienced" the ionic foot bath. I sat in a metal folding chair with a cheap blanket thrown over it. The technician, if she had a license, probably printed it from a fictitious website. I am sorry to have to post the unvarnished truth about this place, because the owners are very nice. It unfortunately, is absolutely not a 5 star spa as most of the reviews would have you believe.

My husband gave me a body wrap, massage, and facial gift card for valentines day this year. I went…read morein for the body wrap and massage on Saturday. The body wrap wasn't really for me. I've received many body wraps before and they are warm and relaxing. Your covered in a nutrient rich mask after exfoliated,and wrapped up in a cocoon of blankets and heat blankets. Then you get a face and scalp massage for an hour. When your unwrapped you know all of the fluid surrounding you is yours. At prima you are wrapped in bandaged soaked in fluids and bags on your hands and feet. Then you go on an elliptical machine for an hour and every 15 minutes your bags are emptied and your re-soaked with minerals. So, you know the amount of fluid from the bandages and your own sweat cannot be distinguished. I was cold and the whole time, and was trying working really hard on the elliptical to stay warm. But the elliptical is called a gazelle and has zero resistance. So being wrapped head to toe in bandages really tight, plastic bags on your hands and feet, and riding an elliptical with no resistance is just a disaster waiting to happen. The woman wrapping me was very nice! The woman at the front desk was very nice as well. She seemed to have a lot more knowledge about the products than the woman giving the wrap. The massage was amazing! I cant remember the name of the guy giving it,but he asked a lot of questions about pressures and was professional. I'm looking forward to getting my facial soon!

For starters, the space itself is warm, bright and gorgeous. They've got two studios (the second is relatively new) a small communal space and a deck that wraps around the back and looks out into the trees. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can finish my next visit with tea and conversation out there. The studio offers plenty of parking, lots of class options for all levels and even spa services (which I have yet to try but I'll have to splurge on a massage some time... you know.... to fulfill my duties as a responsible reviewer.... ). My instructor was awesome - guiding us through a challenging 90-minute session, but never taking things *too* seriously (I like that we can all admit that Warrior 3 is really freaking hard sometimes or get a good giggle out of Happy Baby). Like I said, I just got home and I'm already planning my return. It's a bit off the beaten path, but so worth the adventure. When you consider that it's only $15 to drop-in, and you leave feeling like you've just had a full body (and mind) massage? It's a steal :)

I drive 25 miles each way to get my dose of bliss at Porters Neck Yoga & Spa--that's how phenomenal the place is. And that's not even counting the full range spa located upstairs. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't feel the same way I do about the place--that's how spectacular PNYS is!

I would suggest not purchasing gift certificates from them or for other people as gifts.

I discovered Shine On Massage Therapy when looking for something to do while in Downtown…read moreWilmington. It is located on the 9th floor of the Murchison Building. Its philosophy and approach seemed similar to where I go when in Asheville. So I booked my appointment and typed in the day I could go and was assigned to Lukas. I was emailed directions and a code to enter the building a few days prior then also texted the same information that morning. I was also given parking suggestions. When I entered the building there was a note the elevator was out of service but also a number to call to ride the manual elevator. I really enjoyed the elevator ride in the historic building. I learned it is usually for staff and nicknamed Lulu. Shine On is easy to find when getting off the elevator and check in. I was then led to a massage room around the corner that was larger than I expected. The massage included hot stones; hot towels; aromatherapy and cupping. I declined the cupping but took the rest. The massage focused on my injuries and provided much needed relief. It was very relaxing and it seemed that Lukas knew just what spots needed that extra attention. I will be stopping here or at the other location the next time I am in town for another appointment with Lukas.

When I walked in I was asked if I needed to use the restroom and then someone had walked into the restroom so I was told to sit down in the front. In the package it says to arrive 30 minutes early to enjoy mimosas and sweet treats. I did not get taken back to the relaxation room until I stood up and said something. They were too busy chit chatting than worrying about their customer. Finally I was taken back to the relaxation room about 10 minutes before my massage. When I walked in I was shocked they had camper chair for us to sit in, in a so called "relaxation" room. I literally had to chug down my drink and sweet treats before my massage. Finally the massage. ABSOLUTE worst massage I've ever received. The lady spent more time putting the mint oil infront of my nose than actually massage my neck and shoulders, which was literally suffocating. I was also told that hot stone would be included. I had maybe 5 minutes of hot stone on my back and then another 5 minutes of her massaging my back. I'm carrying around a newborn and toddler all day so that was extremely upsetting. My husband booked this massage as a postpartum gift since I just went through an emergency c section and he just wanted me to have a day of relaxation. I left there extremely upset and frustrated instead of feeling good. I ended up leaving a review that night which I've never left a review in my life. And then they replied and was told in the reply if I was open to it they'd like to discuss this further. I called the spa 3 times and the first time I called I was told I would probably just get a refund and that I would be getting a call back. Every other time I called I was given the runaround and told I would be getting a call back. Finally this morning I called and spoke with the owner. The owner was not nice at all and told me because I left a review she will not be giving me any type of compensation. She literally said that because I left a review for the public to see she will not be helping me. I didn't know that I wasn't entitled to leave a review of my experience and because I did I will not be helped. Absolute insanity. Worst customer service and WORST "spa" I've ever been to. Stay away from this horrid place.
