After my massage therapist, who I had been seeing for years, moved out of the country last year, I…read moretried a few other massage places, but none of them felt like home. I had a 60 minute Swedish Massage with Elle at Body of Needs Spa yesterday and have finally found my new MT and Spa home!! The experience begins with being welcomed by their delightful receptionist who offered me water and had me fill out their very detailed intake form that asks everything from specific areas of focus, lotion or oil preference, amount of pressure and all the things your MT needs to tailor your massage. Elle came out to get me and brought me in to a very tranquil treatment room. There is a whiteboard on the wall and Elle used it to note where I wanted her to focus, any thing that was important to me for my massage and then she stepped out so that I could undress. As she started the massage, the pressure was a little lighter than I wanted so I told her and she immediately adjusted. She really worked on my problem areas and gave a great full body massage!! I'm a little sore today, but in the best possible way!! I immediately scheduled my next appointment with Elle as soon as I got in the car; a 90 minute this time,. Their online booking makes it so easy to book, reschedule, or cancel your appointment. Needless to say Elle and Body of Needs are my new go to!!

This spa is hidden on Main Street in Middletown and is absolutely perfect. You are greeted by the receptionist when you walk in and offered tea or water while you wait. There are several private service rooms. I had a 90 minute deep tissue with Mackenzie. She was excellent at determining where I needed attention and how much pressure. The room was relaxing with the proper lighting and music. The table was heared. Prices were reasonable. I am happily sore and feel much better! I will absolutely be back to see Mackenzie again!!! I think I found my new local spot.

She used enough pressure to be just the right amount of uncomfortable but oh so good and really worked out the tightness and knots in my neck and shoulders where I carry my tension and stress. For all my Middletown, Cromwell, Durham peeps and anyone in CT really, if you are looking for an absolutely AMAZING massage therapist, I HIGHLY recommend Susan and S.T.I.L.L. In Time!!

Not only will you soon be in the presence of the most lovely and gifted healer, you'd also be in her beautifully decorated, impeccability clean, lavender-and-orange-blossom-scented home in a beautifully country neighborhood. Expansive green lawns? Check. Flowing river nearby? Check. A John Deere tractor in view? Check. A horse RIGHT NEXT DOOR in the neighbor's yard? CHECK! Susan will greet you warmly by the door and bring you into the sitting room. She'll ask about the purpose of your visit, the kind of pressure you like, and if there are any problem areas you'd like to work on, etc.. You will then go to the candle-lit restroom and change into the soft robe and slippers that Susan kindly provides. Then, all that's left to do is to go to the massage room at your leisure to relax and get ready for one of the best massages of your life! Susan is the utmost professional and clearly LOVES her job. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body and you will feel her talent in every session. She has recently opened up her beautiful back deck for outdoor massages AND she has a convenient online booking system! So, the advice of the day is this: book the next spot available and GO! Your back is tight? Go to Susan! Your mind is scattered? Go to Susan! You're joyous, happy, healthy, and free? Go to Susan!

I like getting hot stone massages and I've been trying a few places to see which one I like best…read more Think I might have found my place :-) First off, I like how all the massages are the same price. A lot of places charge more for hot stone or deep tissue, here they are all the same. Thank you for that. It's a cute little place with the parking lot in the back. I love how quiet and serene it is. I've been in places that do other services (waxes, nails) and it ends up being noisy while you're getting a massage - that's the opposite of relaxing. Katy did my massage and she did a great job. Asked all the questions up front and then allowed me to quietly enjoy the massage with a little music (yes, I've had massage therapists that keep talking. Again, that's not relaxing). Given how close this is to my house and how much I enjoyed it, I will definitely be back. Treat yourself and try them out too.

I went to see Santina in October of 2025 for the first time after receiving a gift card for Body…read moreFocus. My session included a combination of Deep Tissue and Ashiatsu massage. While I am familiar with, and routinely receive deep tissue massage from other therapists and centers, Santina's technique catered to my comfort level in a way I have never experienced. The Ashiatsu massage was my first, and it did not disappoint. The therapeutic aspects were very evident in the following days through the diminished chronic pain level associated with past injuries. I highly recommend Body Focus as it has warm, inviting and very relaxing atmosphere. Santina's expertise and professionalism was evident in every aspect of Body Focus. Jim R

I've been getting massages for at…read moreleast 20 years and Santina is by far one of the most intuitive and perceptive massage therapists I've been to. Her massage studio is housed in a cute rehabbed red train caboose located in the quaint Cromwell historic district. Talk about charm! Easy access to her place from both 91 or Route 9. Literally minutes from Middletown, Portland, Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, and Glastonbury. Plenty of parking and easy accessibility with stairs and a ramp from the parking lot. Santina is proficient in many styles of massage that you won't find at your run-of-the-mill massage places. Not only will this be the best massage you can get but the owner is probably one of the most genuinely nice people you will meet. She cares deeply about each client, pays attention to the small details, and is always super pleasant and professional. If you're a believer like me that only people with good positive karma/energy should be in your personal space, Santina is who you want in your corner. A++++ all the way around.

Gina pays attention to all the details, and took all proper safety precautions due to COVID. Her pressure during the massage was perfect, and she paid attention to my breath and comfort while treating me. She was equally comfortable with silence and conversation, letting me take the lead with which I preferred during my massage. Her heated table was a blessing to start my massage with, and she turned it off before I even needed to ask when we moved to a part of the massage where I was more covered and more toasty. Overall, she is absolutely excellent at her craft and I cannot wait to return in the future!

I have had many massages over the years. I have visited multiple massage therapy businesses and…read morespas. Elements is by far my favorite for a long term relationship. The hours and membership structure are similar to Massage Envy, but the vibe, massage therapists, and customer service are far superior at Elements. As others have noted, you aren't trapped for a year. It's a month to month membership for $69. If you get a second massage in a month, it's only $59. They have some add ons, but they aren't pushy about them. They also give you an ice cold bottle of water and a Lindt truffle at the end of your massage - nice touch! I do wish they had a relaxation room instead of just waiting out in the main lobby, but it's not essential. I've been very happy at Elements, and have forced myself to make time to get the massages that I desperately need for pain relief and overall well-being. They have first time visit specials - do yourself a favor and try them out!
