Super Fantastic Massage! The massage received today at…read moreMassage Works was the best Massage I've EVER had and I've had my share. I was immediately greeted by front desk person and masseuse (Josephine). They were running on schedule and took me back for my massage within minutes of my arrival. Josephine's hands were magical and hit all of my pressure points. The hot stones elevated the massage to the next level. She was so professional and gentle. I genuinely enjoyed every second of my massage; so much so, I purchased a massage package to use upon return I've been talking about my massage w everyone that'll listen every since and I look forward to referring friends and family.

I reached out via instagram to schedule a couples massage. I asked for 7pm, and was told 6:30 was…read morethe last available spot. I set an appointment for 6:30, and I paid in full. At 6:07, I received a message saying they were on the way, and that since they knew I wanted 7, they were "coming as close to that" as they could "without being late for" their next session. At 6:40, they said "We are here we will get out in a few mins". I replied "see you in a bit" At 7:01 they texted to say they were at the front door. I was downstairs at 7:03, and advised that they had parked at a bus stop. Around the corner was ample, free street parking. At 7:13, I received a text saying "Unfortunately we can not be late for our next session that's why I stressed 6:30 and the parking is not safe . I have sent a refund" I do not understand what went wrong, but I know my time has been wasted, and my evening ruined.

I made a massage appointment at the Cortiva Linthicum site on Thursday, April 3rd…read more As I've been a repeat customer, I know to arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out the forms with my own bedsheets(policy since COVID). I was greeted by a friendly smile as my masseuse introduced herself as Candie. She went over my forms to insure there were no medical issues she needed to be aware of. I would highly recommend Candie and will make sure to request her on my next appointment. She is a great listener and recommended certain stretching techniques which really made a difference--even in this first time meeting her! Her dedication and commitment to the wellness of others is quite evident. She asked if the pressure was too light, just right or too much. She could pinpoint exactly where I was holding tension and did her magic to relieve me of that! I will definitely be back and will be asking for Candi asap! Kudos to Cortiva & Candi!!! Much success!

My experience at this so called Institute was nothing short of stressful, constantly having to…read moredisplay self restraint and patience. When I first started in September we quickly lost our teacher a month later because she wasn't being compensated adequately so we were left with her teachers assistant. Class started at 9 but we didn't start until 10 once she decided to get off her phone and read PowerPoints with words she couldn't pronounce and knowledge she just didn't have. When I transferred to another class she decided to trash talk about the individuals who left her class and then she got demoted to TA again (like I never saw that coming). The Dermalogica bag they give you if only for 1 skin type and when my skin reacted to it I had to bring my own products to be used on my skin, then the clinic coordinator tried to say my skin was probably purging when I initially came in with not a bump on my face but it's because she was trying to sell me holiday products to obviously make commission on her end. The staff overall is incompetent they give you the run around to simple questions, everyone is pissed to go to work and deal with students. The director Michael will BS you in front of your face and smile about it, the lead instructor Cassondra they brought in is useless and never has the answers to anything but has time to give you attitude when you won't let up about an issue. The clinic coordinator Katherine wants to be a somebody in this place but is useless and just waddles around in the classrooms and lies about the state board requirements when doing the orientation mind you she is a licensed nothing. The career coordinator Sanarta who is suppose to ASSIST with the state board appointments caught a whole attitude because I wouldn't sign release forms for the school to use my face or videos for there benefits or be put on there "wall of fame" that has the same 10 people on it since I started. Then got upset when I had to book my own appointments because she wanted access to my account because she's "required" to know if I passed my exams. Keep in mind she uses the same password for all the students new PSI account and put it up on the whiteboard in her office ...can you say security violation. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy this place exploits students to work for free for them and they don't even give them any tips they receive from clients claiming it goes to a "student fund" that doesn't exist. They play with your hours and constantly move your graduation date so you have to keep account for your own hours in order to correct them. Oh and they also require you complete an extra 60 hours and pose it as extra practice but it's really to keep you an extra 14 days to take there "clients". The tables are falling apart and some were replaced with the Amazon tattoo chairs, supplies are scarce and sometimes have to be shared with other classes, there's a steamer graveyard because instead of replacing the broken steamers they'll just throw them in the back which begs the question where is the $15k per student going because it can't be towards supplies. And as of recent they're having clients who get a service done post 5 star google reviews because all the students who have left this place leave honest reviews and their rating was taking a hit! If you're a student looking to get into esthetics please look elsewhere or at most read the student reviews about this place.

She was very professional, took my medical history and physical ailments into account. She addressed trouble spots very well and was personable through the whole experience.

Now let's review the massage... Upon entering her home, you'll first sign some standard papers, once that's complete you then will get ready for your massage. She has a nice heated massage table with comfortable linens inside the massage room. She also offers, haircuts, waxing etc. The 90 min sports massage was amazing. She's very strong and knows how to get the knots out. My time actually ran past 90 min and no matter what she likes to end the massage with a wonderful stretch. The stretching was the icing on the cake. My body needed everything she gave me. I was truly satisfied with the massage. I highly recommend you give her massage a try. She will not disappoint. I already booked a follow up session with her. YAY!
