Before I left I made my next appointment, grabbed a ton of referral cards, and purchased a gift card for my best friend because I wanted her to experience what a REAL massage feels like. For years I paid an outrageous amount for massage clubs with mediocre therapists; always leaving disappointed. Ericka NAILED IT the very first time - a complete massage head to toe, with the perfect gentle but firm pressure. She is highly professional and knowledgeable about the body, taking time to listen to me and address the tension I have. Her salon is BEAUTIFUL - she uses the highest quality scents, towels, and sugar scrubs (that she makes herself). And the icing on the cake was that she blew me away with a birthday package complete with a charcuterie board with fresh fruit, crackers, meat, and fresh citrus water. Her service is UNMATCHED in this area. I've lived in Wesley Chapel my entire life and if I had only one business to recommend it would be Bela Body Massage and Retreat.

I rarely write reviews under 4 stars... But my massage session was very sub-par, and I felt…read moredeceived by the Google reviews I saw about this place. I get massages every 2 weeks, and I usually book a massage when I travel, so I've tried many types of massages in various locations across the states and even Japan. I booked my 90 minute deep tissue massage appointment over the phone; very easy process. They sent me some forms to fill out online in advance and confirmed my appointment. Very professional. My masseuse was Ryan, a young gentleman. He arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment; we actually arrived at the door at the same time. As it was a Saturday, the building where the spa is located was locked, so the front desk admin came to open the door for us when I called. We started our massage session a bit early, which was fine by me. I asked him to focus on my shoulders, which he went right to work on - with VERY intense pressure. Yes, I asked for deep pressure, but it was a bit overkill. He was mainly using his elbows to get under my shoulderblades - this is not very common in massages I've had, so I was a little confused. I asked him to decrease the pressure, which he did, but when he moved to the other side, he returned to the original deep pressure. He also used way too much massage oil, to the point where I felt it dripping across my back. I also noticed that his hands were shaking throughout my massage - it could be a medical condition, so I didn't say anything about it. About 10 minutes into my session, I had to ask for my appointment to be shortened to a 60 minute massage. He barely did any leg massage - could be because I had shortened my session, but he massaged my glutes and then my feet. Which all felt wonderful, but not much massaging of the calves and hamstrings. When he massaged my arms, he just kept going in a circular motion, which felt more like a gentle squeeze than a massage... Overall, I felt that the massage was very unexperienced, something I would expect of someone learning to be a masseuse or massage therapist. If you book a massage here, then perhaps be very specific with your expectations.

Being super stressed all the time it felt like I walked into somewhere peaceful and calm. All the staff was welcoming and patient with me as I rummaged to through all my crap. My session was incredibly restorative and I think I actually stopped thinking for the first time in a while. On top of that their gracious owner offered me a free float session and I'd never experienced it before but it is exactly what I needed. I will go back again, as often as I can!!!

Authentic awesome Chinese massage! This is not the sketchy tinted windows asian massage type place…read more- you know what I'm talking about. I'm so glad we stumbled onto Oriental Massage! It's located in a very empty mall, and owned by a lovely, professional Chinese couple. Prices are on point! If you're not familiar with Chinese massage, they do a super deep massage- you will be beaten (in a good way) and feel amazing after. You are fully clothed and behind a screen, so out of view from general mall people. Be open about how much pressure you want and whether you have particular sore areas. *Side Note: I'm currently going to Moffitt for cancer chemo treatments and this is my new "cheer up" activity on my treatment days. They are very careful with me to do light pressure and work around my neulasta sticker etc. My sister asked for the "regular" super deep Chinese massage and said it was just like her massage person in China, where she lives!

I absolutely love LaVita massage!…read more I initially came to LaVita because I was given a Spa Finder gift card and they are accepted here. I did not have high hopes as most subscription based massage places have a lot of turnover and therapist that just seem like they want to get through the 50 minutes exuding the least amount of energy as possible. My massage therapist at LaVita was exactly the opposite. He asked about my trouble areas and gave me the best deep tissue massage I have ever received focusing on the knots in my back that were causing pain. Most 1 hour massages are a clinical hour "50 minutes". They give you 5 minutes to get ready and 5 minutes to get dressed. Some places take this to the next level, I've watched the clock and received 40 minutes in some cases. Not here, after 3 visits I have never felt they were limiting my massage time or putting less effort in to the massage since I subscribed to the monthly program. I highly recommend!
