I tried my first massage at the massage place and it was such a healing sanctuary, really special place. Ingrid helped me feel at home and comfortable and overall I had a great experience, super relaxing. They gave really accurate astrology insights that helped me feel prepared for my next stage in life, and I left feeling refreshed and hopeful. Olympia is so lucky to have this spa sanctuary available to them. read more

Been working with Madelyn here regularly for a few years, and she's fantastic. It's not a tea-lights-and-spa-robes vibe, if that's what you're looking for, but it is comfy and cozy, with a fireplace burning in the lobby and a cat hanging out, and lots of greenery and birds outside the windows. The prices are totally reasonable and my experience with Madelyn has been exceptional. read more

Great massage, reasonable price, nice atmosphere. Conveniently located near hospital. Highly recommended!

This massage place was truly surreal. Was it a relaxing serenity of tranquility? Call it heaven. Did poof tailed squirrels cross my path on the way to my massage room? I feel oddly like Sleeping Beauty. Were there adorable fluffy deer with twin fawns like in the yelp pictures? I was pretty sure they were photoshopped, but apparently not. My massage therapist Naomi was incredible. I wish I could say that I fell asleep during the massage but actually I left more sore than when I came in.. which. was. perfect! I didn't even tell her what my profession was and she was able to tell the areas that cause me discomfort throughout the week. She targeted the areas of concern and intensely concentrated on them. I loved that she offered essential oils and there was no additional charge for them. The hot stone addition was relaxing and made me feel like a pat of butter on freshly made toast. The setting was exquisite, the massage expertise unbeatable, and the price incredibly competitive and worth every dime. Pretty sure I'll be braving the traffic to return to Oly just for these massages. read more

Brook Bell is great! Been having her work on me for years. Deep tissue massage. Environment is pleasant and comfortable. Staff is nice.

I went in to buy a gift certificate today and the employee at the desk indicated that they usually sell these online but she's "here so she would do it". Wow. read more

Quiet, clean accommodations and Meg was very good finding trouble areas with firm pressure. No oils to start with so that was a little uncomfortable. Other than that, it was a very good experience. read more

Thank you Ingrid!!! I came and saw Ingrid for the first time today, and without a doubt, she was the best I've ever had! The experience was amazing and she went above and beyond!!! She knew just right where I was hurting and was able to release all the negative tension I had. At one point, I thought I was floating on air, I was so relaxed!! I will be coming back and Ingrid has my definite recommendation! read more

The Massage Place - A wonderful welcome - Massage Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I've gone to them twice. Both times pregnant and they are amazing! I don't remember my first one, but Madelyn was the one who massaged me recently. It was so much needed and she hit every point! Even spots I thought was not needed! Boy was I glad I didn't decide to cancel because I almost did. Madelyn definitely helped me feel comfortable and didn't rush me at all. She even made sure the amount of pressure was what I wanted. I felt so much better afterwards! read more

I've been 3 times now, twice with Madelyn and once with Holly. I can't recommend them enough! All three visits have been delightful. A massage can be an awkward or anxiety-producing event for some (like me). They walk you through an accurate "what to expect" on the website and offer multiple check ins during your visit. As most of the world moves on from COVID, they continue to have a mask mandate so you can be at ease in that regard as well. I brought my business here because of the collective approach, tranquil setting, and social justice values. I'm staying because of the high quality massage paired with that! read more

No matter which therapist I see at The Massage Place, the experience is always a good one. Comfortable waiting area, therapists have good listening skills and adjust as necessary, I've even fallen asleep once (Sorry!). read more

This place is an absolute gem and I was so happy I found it on Yelp. Being seven months pregnant, and completely uncomfortable, I splurged on a pregnancy massage from Naomi. She was super friendly and accommodating and I felt very comfortable with her style. She knew exactly how to position me for safety and I seriously wanted to hug her when she worked out the kinks in my calves without me pointing anything out. She rocks. The back area of the place is like a small animal sanctuary. My massage was in one of the back cottages and it felt so serene and relaxing just walking out there and being greeted by all these fat little squirrels, rabbits and even a deer. It was pretty amazing. I am very happy with my experience, and Naomi, and would definitely recommend her for more than just pregnancy massage. read more

I had the massage of a lifetime. Dawnovin was awesome. I've never had anything like it and I've been getting massages for a very long time. The ambience and the rooms, and the gentle feel of the massage place is ideal for anybody needing a relaxing massage. This place is incredible. I am from Los Angeles and I would be back to Olympia just to get a massage from Dawnovin. read more

If I ever become super rich, I'm going to buy the Massage Place and just hang out there all day, every day. The small house holds everything I imagine a massage studio should have, beautifully nestled into a patch of woods conveniently located on the westside of Oly. Lately, I feel like my life is completely disorganized. As a result, I'm totally stressed out with knots in my back and neck, as well as incapable of planning anything beyond a few hours notice. The Massage Place offers convenient online booking, and I was able to book an 11am appointment just a few hours before. I was greeted by the beautiful Ingrid, who gave me the quick interview before we got started. The massage itself was fantastic. It was as if Ingrid had some pain radar and could tell exactly the spots that were bugging me in my back, neck and arms. She used warm towels and essential oils that made the experience much more special than the average massage. The music was soothing piano accompanied by the birds chirping right outside the open windows. I want everyone I love to be able to have the experience I just had at The Massage Place. And even though I love Radiance, I won't be visiting them for massages any more. If you're stressed out, check out The Massage Place for a healthy, relaxing indulgence. read more

This place is gorgeous and relaxing - and that's even before you get on the massage table. I've had a lovely relaxing massage from Lynn and a deep tissue massage from Rebecca. Both were excellent and I got exactly what I wanted. Not only are they skilled, but they listened to me and took me seriously. I asked for deep pressure and hoowee, I got it! Also, the prices here may be the best in town. Totally worth it. read more

The massage place is pretty much the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle. The property is actually a certified wildlife sanctuary, and during the summer months there is a flurry of activity going on! There are three outdoor studios where you can have a massage, one of which is basically an open air cabana. There seven different practitioners working there covering basically every modality you could need; herbalists, flower essences, soma-neuromuscular integration, deep tissue, structural bodywork, myofascial release, sweedish, MET, sports massage and others. I typically see Lynn whose work is a mix of structural bodywork, myofascial and deep tissue. Go early and relax on the couch by the fire place with a cup of tea before your appointment... its amazing! read more

See all

Sometimes you just "know". I think it happened to me when I first walked through their door. How many places have you patronized lately that have you feeling refreshed and relaxed BEFORE your massage? That's just what happened to me. The Massage Place is easy to find, very clean and their attention to making you feel welcome from the start is very apparent. They are nestled in a cozy area replete with fruit trees, flowers, comfortable chairs, and twittering wildlife. All in all a very pleasing atmosphere. The fact they are a registered sanctuary is an added bonus. The birds and wildlife go about their business as if your very presence was as natural as their habitat; very Disney-like. I highly recommend their service. The actual massage was very well done and Tracey (as stated in another review) is amazing. She got right to the tricky spots and her fingers just knew how to get those stubborn muscle knots out. Olympia has many good massage business, but I have to admit, this place, is THE place for massage. read more

This place is amazing! I have been getting massage my entire adult life, for one reason or another. I have been looking for a massage therapist who is capable of deep tissue without hurting me. Oxymoron, I know, until you've had it happen. Tracy is absolutely AMAZING! Not only does she listen to what is going on with my body, but she also listens to what stressors I have going on in my life. I feel completely cared for and heard every time I visit her. Her massage work is some of the best I have ever had. I walk out of there feeling so much relief and it lasts! The location is beautiful! When I had my appointments during the summer monthes, I would often show up at least 15 minutes early so I could sit in the back yard area. I absolutely love this place and adore Tracy! read more

I am not a massage expert. In fact, I have only had about a half dozen or so in my entire 40 years on this planet. I had a very stressful quarter at school, though, and I found myself looking for ways to recover - and I found this place. Previously, I had massages that left me feeling a little too sore the next day, like they did more harm than good. My experience at the Massage Place was nothing like that. It was exceptionally restorative, and it more than fulfilled my hopes to de-stress. I booked a massage with Ingrid and it was beyond a doubt the best massage I ever had. She is truly skilled in her work. It's already been a few months since I was there, so I can't remember anything detailed, only that I felt so wonderful after the massage, and that feeling persisted for days. The setting, as everyone mentions, is very charming. I am hoping to go back this winter to see the fireplace in action. It's a very welcoming space. read more

Cara was great. The atmosphere was relaxing and calm. Would definitely be back and recommend. I went for a neck stiffness and was even given at home recommendations to help. I will be back. read more

The Massage Place - Massage Near Me - Olympia, Washington

The setting of this establishment resembles a cottage nestled in the woods. When entering I immediately settled into the cozy atmosphere. There were nodes of essential oils & I was greeted promptly by my masseuse. I scheduled an appointment online earlier that day. Set up my own time and selected a therapist based on their profile. When left to change I was pleasantly surprised by the view from the room. There were birds and a squirrel perched on a bird bath. Enveloped in the protection of lush trees and bushes. The massage was firm and preformed gracefully. Sarah was a goddess! She felt out my tension and knots and tended to them. (I am sore.) But, it's a relief I know she manipulated the knots to the surface. I was appreciative of the hot towels and heated blanket to soothe the loosened muscles. Throughout the session soft music filled the room. The only complaint I have is that the window let it a significant amount of sunlight. The brightness wasn't ensuring the element of relaxation that I prefer. Overall, I'd encourage others to go! read more

I scheduled a massage using their online program 5 hours before my appointment time. When I showed up the only workers were giving others massages. Found out later they didn't check for updates. I ended up getting a free massage. But after the massage I scheduled another appointment and showed up but the door was locked. Their communication and scheduling procedures need updating! I have wasted several hours on this company waiting and driving for no reason. I don't recommend them! read more

Gabe is amazing! I started coming here soon after I began a stressful job and I was trying to do some self care. The strain from work really takes a toll on my posture and my neck starts cramping so bad my fingers go numb from it. Gabe works on fasciae relief and really breaks up the tension in my body. He does a great job. I walk out of there a completely different person and people definitely notice it on how I walk. Gabe can apply the pressure if you need it but unlike other massages he can really ease the knots and provide relief without peeling you off the ceiling if you know what I mean. He really knows how stress takes a toll on your body and how to relieve it. I sing his praises at work and others have started seeing him too and keep seeing him because he's eased "crisis moments" as one colleague said. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

I had a wonderful 90 minute massage from Sarah today. My first time here, but it most definitely will not be my last. The Massage Place is easy to find and very cozy and welcoming. It is clean and very nicely furnished. I had received many massages in the past but this was by far the best massage I have ever had. Sarah is very adept at searching out the spots that need special attention and I was so relaxed at the end that I almost dozed off. Sarah is truly a gem and I will be going back again and again. read more

I had a prenatal massage here with Naomi and will be making this my monthly mommy treat. Naomi was kind and professional and took care to ensure that I was comfortable throughout- not an easy feat at 25 weeks pregnant! I received my massage in one of the back cabins which made it feel even more private! The massage was mostly laying on my side but involved some sitting on this really neat table that adjusted to support me being upright but still relaxed. The smell of the cabin was lovely and she used a cocoa butter based lotion/oil to massage so I felt ultra moisturized and kinda chocolatey! This was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

The massage was both amazing and affordable. $70 for 60 minutes. Most places seem to charge $90+ these days. The service was great, too. I'll definitely be back!! :) read more

Remember that scene from the Karate Kid when Daniel wants to quit the tournament after he gets hurt by that Cobra Kai jerk. Mr. Miyagi rubbed his hands together to build up some frictional heat then pressed his healing Okinawan mitts on the lads injured extremity magically getting him back into the fight. Remember that scene? Yeah, well a deep tissue massage with Rebecca is nothing like that. Unlike the point karate good old Danielson was engaged in it's more of a series of MMA style submission holds along with that Vulcan neck pinch Spock used to put someone out. She has hands stronger than most brick masons, is a wonderful conversationalist (which helps a lot), very knowledgeable and has invaluable advise on care and prevention of injury. The place itself is really peaceful and cozy. They have rooms inside and cabanas in the back if you want to enjoy the fresh air and listen to birds while you get a massage. Last time I was there a doe was eating fallen apples accompanied by two of her offspring. Unlike having Pat Morita's hands kissing your boo boo the deep tissue massage is actually healing and helpful. Also you don't have to paint a fence or wax a bunch of classic cars in some esoteric way to get it. read more

This place was amaziingg. I can't even begin to describe how relaxed I felt. It was euphoric and so relieving. Not just the massage but the atmosphere although the massage was perfect. I am not surprised at the amazing reviews read more

I've been here twice -- I come to Olympia once or twice a year, but if I lived here, I'd go a lot more often. Most recently, I had a massage from Ingrid, who was excellent; I asked for deep pressure, and she delivered. Both she and Lynn, who I had the other massage from, were good with communication. The setting is beautiful and the price is very reasonable. read more

Can't say enough about this totally amazing place that feels cozy, charming and quaint from the moment you drive up. Patty Griffin music greeted me as I walked into the little cabin lobby. Naomi then led me out to a guest Cottage for my massage and deer and bunnies greeted me along the way. I proceeded to experience one of the best massages of my life! There were scrubs and socks and mentho like creams...and this funky neck loosening movement. Plus she really got to those pressure points on my neck....it was simply blissful! Booked another appointment. read more

I went here based on reviews, and wow! Best massage experience thus far! I treated myself to a birthday massage, but I also have a sports injury that flared up when i made the mistake of doing sprints this week, so I wanted a combination of full body and localized. Ingrid was fantastic at her job. She was friendly, down to earth, very attentive, and seemed to know just what my body needed. I feel great. Very relaxed, and the stress of just moving to Olympia and into a house has worn off so I can enjoy the rest of my birthday! This place is also ridiculously pretty and calming. There are flowers, birds, squirrels, and lovely greenery everywhere. There was soft, classical piano music playing at just the right volume, and the place smelled fantastic. I also learned some things about stretching and yoga from Ingrid. I will definitely be back! :) read more

I have been coming to The Massage Place for years to help with pain from a variety of medical disorders including fibromyalgia. I have seen several of the M.T.'s here and I have yet to be disappointed in the quality of massage I have received. The therapists are very accommodating and friendly, and work hard to be tuned into the needs of your body. The natural setting is a beautiful and calming urban oasis of trees, bushes, squirrels, birds, bunnies... It sets a relaxing and healing mood before the massage even starts. Can't recommend them enough. I have been to several other places in Oly and been disappointed, but always find relief here. read more

Best place to go for a massage. Run collectively, and the space is gorgeous (it's a wildlife sanctuary too!). Prices are reasonable, and all the staff are stellar. It's my happy place. read more

Fantastic. My new favorite place to go in Olympia for massage. Super friendly staff. Run as a collective. Beautiful interior. Skilled practioners. Easy dialogue read more

I went to The Massage Place for the first time this weekend. I have a lower back issue which flares up 3-4 times a year and even when it is stable I am incredibly tight and tense both in my lower back and buttocks. I have been receiving regular massage, about once a week for a few years in Eastern Washington before moving to Olympia. I saw Ingrid Abbott, LMP and had the most successful massage in reducing tension and tightness. I must admit that at times I was close to tears as Ingrid worked on my legs but I'm still feeling more lose and relaxed today than I can remember in years. I will most certainly be going back - I encourage the collective to apply to be covered by more insurance companies. Group Health doesn't have any TMP therapists listed yet. read more

I saw Lynn. I really appreciated her skill and precision. She used just enough pressure, and when she was done, I felt better from head to toe. I absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend her. read more

I have been coming here for a few months now. Most recently on a weekly basis since I found Sarah! She is a wonderful massage therapist that has a very intuitive touch. I love the building and the backyard, the nature. There are tons of squirrels and sometimes families of deer. It is very relaxing. On cooler days the fireplace is on and it's very zen to grab a cup of tea and wait for my appointment. I've tried other places in the area for massage but I keep coming back here for my therapy, thanks to Sarah. read more

My boyfriend and I went for a massages here and everything about this place and our massages was amazing. I was nervous and weirded out before because I'm not a "massage" person meaning I am not touchy feely I don't like to be touched but with my shoulder and neck pain from a recent car accident I had to let that go. The minute I walked in here I felt calm and good and relaxed. If you've never gotten a massage try this place!!!! read more

I love everything about this place. It's in an old house. The rooms are beautiful and tranquil. I love that the window is open and I can hear the birds playing in a bath outside. This is the third time I've been here. The first time I came I had a woman who was awesome (I don't remember her name. Sorry!) Then I had an appointment with Dawnovin. He is ah-maze-ing!! Just the perfect amount of pressure and he seems to intuitively know where I most need him. I've had him twice and I like that I can't predict where he will go next. He pays attention to my body and not a prescribed pattern dictated by the number of minutes. I already have my next appointment booked! read more

This place is great! By far the best massage I've had outside a resort spa. I saw Dawnivan :)
