OK, REWIND! Unwind Wellness has won me and my partner over. We really haven't stopped daydreaming about our experience ever since and are looking forward to our next spa date. We had such a pleasant encounter with the receptionist, Nicole, from the moment we walked in and were placed with 2 masseuses who were top-tier and gifted with the art of touch. Our couples massage was beyond rejuvenating and serene for each of us and we were truly able to decompress (and leave a lot of muscle knots behind on the table)! We both left feeling SO much lighter, connected within our bodies and to each other, and grateful we accepted the offer to give Unwind another chance. I am so impressed with the level of intention and care that the owner, Antonio, has displayed in making sure that we were in the absolute best hands the second time around. He was very apologetic that we had an off day on our first visit and really turned things a total 180. It's evident that he is passionate about his business, is extremely detail-oriented (the decor is GORGEOUS!), and has strived to exceed the 5-star reputation his establishment deserves. In a world where self-care tends to be an afterthought or a treat, I'm feeling inspired to carve out time to visit Unwind Wellness on a regular basis. I'm so glad I found the right match (and might have to gatekeep my masseuse's name because she is THAT good)! read more

I've been to Unwind Wellness several times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places for bodywork in DC. If you're looking for massage therapists who actually do real work, this is the place. I've seen both Helen and Heajin, and they are exceptional in different but complementary ways. Helen is incredible for deep tissue, especially hip work. She goes deep, she's effective, and she is not afraid to work through tension. This is not a light, spa-style massage. It's therapeutic, intentional, and results-driven. Exactly what I want. Heajin specializes in Thai and lymphatic massage, and she is phenomenal. Thai massage is more like assisted stretching, and she incorporates it beautifully. She also took time to explain lymphatic flow, gave me tips on how to support it at home, and clearly cares about long-term wellbeing, not just the session itself. One thing to note: at Unwind, therapists may get on the table with you, especially for Thai or deep tissue work. That's part of the technique and something to be aware of if you're new to that style, but for me it speaks to how seriously they take proper body mechanics and effectiveness. The space is calm, professional, and welcoming, and the level of skill here is outstanding. If you want thoughtful, strong, therapeutic massage from practitioners who really know the body, I highly recommend Unwind. read more

It was my very first massage, and it was very therapeutic for me, the masseuse did an excellent job, I slept very well later that night, very relaxing atmosphere, I loved the experience for a first timer read more

I've had a great experience at Unwind. Dalcizo has been incredibly helpful in addressing my upper, mid, and lower back issues. After seeing him regularly for a few months, I'm finally able to get back to the gym without the back pain I was dealing with before read more

I was in a significant amount of shoulder/neck pain last week - unable to sleep or go about normal tasks, and had tried several treatment options with no improvement. Nina gave me an incredible targeted massage (intense, but necessary) that has completely resolved the pain within 24 hours. She absolutely knows what she's doing, and I'm so grateful for the relief! read more

I get a sports massage before each big running race I do. I run the Vermont Marathon this upcoming Sunday. I knew I needed to get a massage, but I've tried a few places in Capitol Hill previously and the massages were not great. Thus, I expanded my search bubble and found Unwind AdMo, and I'm glad I did!!! Nina gave me the best massage I've ever had - her technique was amazing, I was never uncomfortable, she focused on the right spots to get those tight knots out, and she made me feel very comfortable. Pricing was right on par for DC too. I will always come to Unwind Wellness now - even though it's ~40 minutes by metro/walking away, compared to some local spots I could be at in 5 minutes. I'm even nervous to try their Unwind Navy Yard location...because I only want massages from Nina, she's that good. read more

I had been having tension and neck pain grin stress at work, and unwind was able to squeeze me in on a Saturday night. I was paired with Max, a strong and kind person! I can tell he tell he takes pride in his work. I got a deep tissue massage and I know it's going to relieve my tension pain. I read more

Thanks to the team for reaching out following my review to request additional feedback, and for inviting me back post-renovation to give them another try! The updates look great--new bathroom and shower, new, fresh front desk. Updated massage rooms. Great job! You made me feel like a VIP read more

See all

Super nice staff, very relaxing. The prices are really reasonable and you will leave feeling very relaxed!

I had just gotten through an incredibly stressful time at work, and that calls for a massage. I booked it sort of last minute, but I got a spot on Sunday with Liliya and headed over before my appointment. I'd been to this location before and also had a pleasant experience, which is why I went again. I was very happy to see that the Adams Morgan location now offers facials and other services (last year it was massage only), so I'll have to check that out. My therapist came to collect me on time, and we walked up two flights of stairs to the massage room where I got undressed and onto the table. For future massages, I need to remember that my shoulders get tense and ask for focus on that because Liliya was working very hard on them to rid areas of tension. (It's not the first time I've had a massage therapist note shoulder tension.) But when she got to my legs, I felt more relaxed and almost fell asleep. Lying on your front for a while causes some congestion, but it eased during the face-up portion of the massage. Maybe the warm towel over my eyes helped. This is one of the best massages I've had that I can remember. When I was done, I was ready for a nap. I'll definitely be back. read more

We love Unwind Wellness. This was our first visit to the Adams Morgan location. We got the works--Signature Couples Massage with Hot Stones, CBD Oil, and Aromatherapy with a Sweet & Bubbly Treat. It was a treat indeed! Two personal bottles of Prosecco and two delectable chocolate mousse cupcakes. They were so yummy The massage was a sound reintroduction with almost two years since my last professional massage. The reception here was also great! Super helpful and attentive. Would rate this location a 7/10 overall, imo. read more

Came in for a deep tissue massage and left feeling great. The customer service was great and on time.

Unwind Wellness in Adams Morgan is truly one of the best spa experiences in D.C. The atmosphere is calm from the moment you walk in -- low lighting, soft music, and a scent that instantly helps you relax. My therapist was professional and attentive, checking in about pressure and focus areas, and the massage itself was excellent -- you can tell they really know their craft. The staff at the front desk are warm and welcoming, and everything feels organized and upscale without being pretentious. The rooms are spotless, the linens smell fresh, and the attention to detail makes the whole visit feel special. If you're looking for a place to fully decompress after a stressful week or just treat yourself, this is it. Definitely worth every penny -- I'll be back soon. read more

I am leaving Unwind always very satisfied. I am feeling myself completely restored and relaxed after a 90-minutes massage. Jessica met me at the front desk -- she was very helpful, attentive, and professional. Max did an excellent job, as always! read more

This is back to my favorite spot for massages! After my last experience, Antonio (the owner) reached out. I was a bit wary at first especially since I was still upset but he was very respectful without being overwhelming and truly wanted to connect and fix things. He seems really passionate and dedicated to his business of improving people's quality of life and pays it forward outside of his business. I'm really amazed by him and now it's just another reason to return! In any case, I ended up returning tonight and had a very smooth visit. I didn't realize how locked up I had been feeling but Max busted through so much of it. I will say I like very strong massages that seem to hit the right pressure points but it's also not for the faint of heart. You just have to trust the process and the results feel worth it! Driving back home, I inevitably ran into drivers doing dumb things but I was too relaxed to even get mad. That was how good the visit was! I'll definitely be back again and happy to recommend Unwind Wellness. Strong massage game, heated beds, friendly owner, and post-visit free vibes. It all makes the price worth it again! Btw I saw a recent review complain about being asked how much tip the customer would like to give. I'm sorry but maybe consider saving up for the tip next time or just going to a cheaper place. It's frowned upon for people to dine in most restaurants or to get a haircut and not tip...these massage therapists work way harder - too hard to not tip. read more

The best massage I've had in recent memory--thanks Naomi! The spa is in a row house. My room was two flights up though there are rooms on the main floor. I got the Signature massage with CBD oil My friends got me a gift card here for my bday and there was enough to cover an add-on so why not? The massage bed was heated and Naomi's mid level pressure was perfect. I told her my neck and upper back were in desperate need of help and I left feeling better and relaxed. read more

Really helped my neck & shoulder pain, excellent ambience, friendly, very clean. Great massage

I suffer from back pain regularly. I consistently see Ramon in Adams Morgan and he makes me feel brand new every time!!! Also, the ambience is nice and calming. Highly recommend! read more

Patrick was wonderful and professional. He was prompt to start so I received all of my 60 minute massage. He was very pleasant to work with. His technique is gentle yet forceful enough to work out the kinks! read more

The owner reached out to me after my review and wanted to hear more about my experience and suggested we visit the Georgetown location. We went to the Georgetown locations and it was AMAZING! I loved my experience and will make a review on that location. I updated my review based on the owner really wanted to hear my experience and being so invested in the customer. read more

I had an incredible facial with Naomi and a truly wonderful deep tissue massage with KaaZima. Naomi was super thoughtful, gentle, and had great tips for taking care of my skin at home. She recommended the addition of the high-frequency wand and the results upon looking at my face in the mirror as I left were clear (like literally clearer, pores noticeably smaller, hydration so much better, congestion majorly lessened). I like a super deep pressure massage and KaaZima did not disappoint; I carry a ton of tension all over my body and she did a fantastic job addressing everything. I felt like a smooth ball of bread dough walking out. I hadn't realized how sore my feet were until I walked out and realized that walking felt COMPLETELY different in the best way. read more

This was by far the best massage experience I have ever had. Heajin was so knowledgeable, professional, and intentional. This was a truly holistic experience! I have been having back pain due to an injury for over a year now that I have been getting massages for. I decided to get a lymphatic drainage massage on a whim and I am so glad I did! My back no longer bothers me, and I feel so light and relaxed!! I will definitely be going back to Heajin! She is truly the best! read more

I've been getting my massages at Unwind for years & don't plan on stopping. The owner Antonio's vision and customer service are unparalleled. He's amazing. The best masseuse is Tania - incredible attention to detail & her hands are pure magic. You can't go wrong at either location! Gorgeous interiors & the tables are so comfortable and warm. read more

Many thx to Mariana for all her help as she stayed with me on phone to create an account and helped me get a gift card. Much appreciated for her super warm friendly service! read more

I go to Adams Morgan and love it. Very calm. Helen is a great masseuse and gives off such positive vibes. I have not been someone who gets regular massages but now I do. Very beneficial for physical and mental health. read more

I have been going to unwind for the past year or so and have visited all of the locations. I always have a good experience regardless of provider.

I can't wait to see her again :-) read more

Great staff, Mary gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I'll be back!

The Adams Morgan location is such a peaceful escape. The warm staff, calming vibe, and beautifully designed space make every visit feel like a treat. I always leave feeling refreshed, and relaxed. read more

Max is the Best. I have been coming for many years. I highly recommend Max. He is very strong and gives a very good massage.

You have not lived until you've had a massage by Max. Seriously, the best massage therapist that I've ever experienced (and I get massages fairly often). He does tend to do more deep tissue massages but I just let him know that I'd like less pressure and he follows suit. He is very thorough and kinks sure he really works out all the kinks and loosens your muscles. I always walk out of there feeling like I could do a backflip... but I don't. Online booking is super easy as well. You can select your therapist or just go with whoever is available. I have only used Max so I can't speak on the rest of them. They also take appointments by phone and the receptionist is always nice. If you come during the week before noon, you can also get a $10 discount. read more

I visited for a relaxing experience and had such a great time, great staff, and price. I booked my massage online and it wassuch a calming experience.

I appreciate how they take the time to listen and customize each session, making sure you leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quality wellness experience in the city read more

I highly recommend Unwind Wellness at Adams Morgan for a massage. Max gave me a great deep tissue massage that released tension from my upper back and hips from working out. Convenient location; clean space; and friendly staff. read more

I treated boyfriend to a birthday afternoon of hoopla which included a couple's massage. My criteria included a place with great reviews, in walking distance of our place and workable timing. Unwind Wellness hit the mark! Scheduling an appointment was smooth and easy upon calling. We were greeted warmly by two therapists, male and female(you can specify by gender or by therapist specifically) and invited to follow. The studio is located in a fantastic brownstone sort of building. The room was set up with two tables and we began our massages! I prefer a harder hand than bf and it seems like we both got what we wanted. I booked 60 minutes, but I'd definitely go 90 next time! As we prepared to leave, the lovely manager offered me a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate bf and his birthday! Nice touch! We will absolutely be back! read more

Unfortunately I was in the massage room directly next to the lobby area and right up against the intersection so I was hearing all the street noise and check in/check out conversations throughout my massage. read more

Love the lymphatic drainage with Sunee! Best massage I've ever had. Space is beautiful and relaxing. Easy to schedule.
