I was stressed trying to find someone who could work on my knots and relieve the pain. Yelp has always helped find a great resource in the past and this was no exception. I found Claudia here on Yelp and she was a total blessing. Her studio is comfortable and clean. I explained what my body had been going through and she quickly threw out some suggestions as she started to get to work. She found some trouble spots right away and really worked on them. It was sort of that pleasurable pain that comes with muscle tissue. As it's worked on, it can be a bit painful. However, after it is worked on, it feels 110% better. That was truly the case here. I mentioned that if she found additional spots to kneed out, to please keep going. She certainly found and kept going! Definitely longer than your usual session, but OH SO WORTH IT! Continued feeling loose and good for days after. If you're in need of some deep bodywork, give Claudia a call. You'll thank me later! Keep on Yelp'n!

When I called him 4 weeks ago for an appointment he boldly stated, " the redemptions are too high". He refused to honor the business relationship signed up and agreed to honor with Spafinder. He made the scapegoat of his business decision and lack of integrity. I protested, he relented a bit and offered to call me (if he had a cancellation). I have not received a call in 4 weeks. Imagine the gall to offer me a cancellation only. Then never call! I then went to Spafinder to report the rogue provider. Here is their response, verbatim: "Subject: New Customer Service Inquiry from Customer Service Inquiries We have resolved your Case CS5084449. Please see the comments for your resolution. Resolution Notes: Hello Rick, Thank you for reaching out to Spafinder Support! First of all, we are sorry for any trouble this matter may have caused you and upon research for the spa in question, the spa is active with us, and we hope it has been only a misunderstanding with them, we have reach them to reinforce our gift card redemption process and also to share them our business contact number." I advised Spafinder there was no misunderstanding and a subsequent July 29th email to Tiglat after they supposedly resolved the "misunderstanding" went unanswered to date. By now I understood integrity and a sense of fairness was never forthcoming from Healing Ki massage. Here is the current situation and it is also verbatim from Spafinder: "Case Resolved Subject: New Customer Service Inquiry from Customer Service Inquiries We have resolved your Case CS5084449. Please see the comments for your resolution. Resolution Notes: Hello Rick, Thank you for reaching out to Spafinder Support! We sincerely apologize for any trouble this matter causes you, and our management team has been informed and the spa locations have been deactivated from our website, we recommend you looking for another participating location around and make sure to call them upfront to confirm availability and your form of payment. A case has been assigned for your request: CS5084449. Need I say more, Spafinder makes it perfectly clear who is a fault here -- Tiglat. The company name suggests the polar opposite of the way you decided to handle your responsibilities as a businessman.

Before my massage, I filled out a questionnaire about my needs and any areas I wanted the therapist to focus on, I appreciated this. I wasn't exactly sure which massage I needed so I explained how my body was feeling and the type of pressure I preferred, and my therapist Nadia took it from there. I was lucky enough to travel to Thailand last year and experience a proper Thai massage, and ever since then I've been dreaming about finding something similar here in the States. My fiancé searched high and low for a massage for my birthday and came across Emerald Day Spa, and I'm so glad he did! This was honestly one of the best massages I've ever had in the U.S. For a split second I felt like I was back in Thailand My body was so sore and tense before I came in, and afterward I felt completely relaxed. My therapist really listened to me and worked on all of my target areas. I already feel such a difference! I also had a great conversation with Peter at the front desk about Thailand, and it was awesome to learn that he was actually from the same area I had visited. It made the experience feel even more special and authentic. You can really tell that this family owned business truly cares about finding massage therapists who know what they're doing. They even offered me hot tea after the appointment which was delicious. If you're looking for an authentic Thai massage experience, I promise look no further. I highly recommend Emerald Day Spa and will absolutely be coming back! Thank you :)

I found Emerald Day Spa online and called for more information. Luigi, who I later learned was the owner, answered the phone and was incredibly helpful, patiently addressing all my questions and providing the information I needed. We scheduled our appointments for a couple of hours later. When we arrived, Luigi greeted us warmly and gave us the forms to fill out. These forms covered the type of massage we wanted and any health issues we might have. My wife and I opted for deep tissue massages, and while I was fine with the masseuse stepping on my back, my wife was not. We also requested to be in the same room. In the end, our rooms were adjacent, and the staff simply slid the wall between them to create one larger space. After 90 minutes of intense deep tissue massage, which at times made me want to scream due to my numerous stiff muscles, I walked out feeling relaxed and much better. The therapist seemed to find every tight muscle in my back, even some I didn't know existed, and worked through them with impressive skill. My wife, who is very particular with massages, was even happier with her massage! After our massages, Luigi welcomed us back, offered us a few pieces of chocolate while processing my credit card payment, and reminded us to stay hydrated. We chatted for a few minutes before leaving.
