I originally had a bad review posted here which I immediately took down as it was a…read moremisunderstanding on my party's part. I want to share my experience with Enrique as both a masseuse and as the business owner of Face to Face NYC: Enrique gave me the "Ultimate Massage". When I came into the office at the lobby Enrique quickly acknowledged and greeted me. He went to make sure the room as perfect and then came back outside to take me into the room. The room was perfectly lit and air conditioned. He politely gave me time alone to get ready for the table and came back several minutes later to start the massage. The Ultimate Massage: I have never done a deep tissue massage before and so I was not sure what to expect. Enrique delivered in the perfect amount of pressure to apply onto my hard knots both on my back and my shoulders. He started off on my shoulders and upper back and I had such difficult knots on my shoulders it was so painful feeling him loosen them up gradually. But that "pain" was pain of relief and comfort. Enrique did a wonderful job on my neck, shoulders, and back. He then proceeded to the rest of my body: legs, feet, arms, and hands. I had no idea that I had secret hard knots all over my forearm and legs. Enrique used his professionalism and history of his craft by doing techniques that helped to ease up painful knots that has never been touched before; especially in a deep tissue massage. Overall: I felt very relieved and satisfied at the end of my Ultimate Massage that I had asked Enrique if he had time for 30-45 minutes more for a deep tissue massage specifically for my back and shoulders. Unfortunately, he had a next client coming in. I will definitely be coming back to Enrique at Face to Face NYC for a thorough, professional, well done massage as well as try their other offerings. Thank you, Enrique @ Face to Face NYC!

Yesterday was my first time at any Hand & Stone location! The owner, Nick, distributed gift cards…read morefor his fellow nurses at the hospital where we all work, as a thank you for working through the pandemic. I thought that was the nicest thing. I think I've only worked with him a handful of times and it was a long time ago, and he still managed to get his fellow healthcare workers a gift card for a relaxing massage or a facial. I thought this was so sweet. I received the gift card a few months back and I completely forgot to use it at the time, but I finally remembered this past week to go. I called the Howell location and told the receptionist that I had a gift card, and that I wasn't really sure specifically what it covered. The receptionist was super nice on the phone, she asked me for the gift card number so she can plug it in and let me know which service was covered for my visit. I had the option of a massage or a facial. She helped me book a massage over the phone. They had a convenient day and time for me available to come. I got there yesterday and the staff were immediately friendly, they greeted me, took my temperature, the sign in was super fast, I just had to do a few signatures on an iPad. I sat down in the waiting area which was socially distanced. Everyone had masks on. I was called in by Angie a few minutes later. She was absolutely incredible. She asked me if there were certain areas I needed worked on during the massage and I told her that I have chronic lower back pain and I asked politely if she could spend more time on that and she did. She left the room so I could get undressed and go on the table, as soon as she came in the room she washed her hands immediately, she wore her mask properly- covering both mouth and nose. I definitely think this is important considering you are in a confined space with someone for an hour. So I was happy to see that she respected that. I asked her if she could apply firm pressure and she said yes and she did. I've only been to one other massage place in New Jersey which was massage envy. I was there in February and the massage therapist did not apply enough pressure for me even though I asked her too, making it an overall unsatisfied visit which led me to not go back. Angie applied the perfect amount of pressure, I even told her that I was going to book an appointment for my husband for him to see her for a massage. I was super happy with my overall visit that I even left with a MEMBERSHIP! The receptionist asked me at check out if I wanted a membership and at first I was hesitant because I know these visits can get expensive but I was very satisfied with my visit and the membership price is a good deal. The receptionist was friendly about it and not pushy, which I appreciate. There's nothing worse than a pushy salesperson! I'm definitely looking forward to coming every single month. Thank you to the lovely staff there!! Can't wait for my next visit!!

When a person comes to me, I like to evaluate and approach each session based on what they are feeling or what they would like the focus or outcome of the massage to be. With that in mind, I listen to the muscle tissue, and build a plan for them individually. Building a relationship with a client is even better for me as a therapist because I really get to see the muscle tissue and structure transform. With regular bodywork, you really can become a whole new person. I love being a part of helping people heal and de-stress.
