Even though we were in town for just a few days, I contemplated going back again before the end of our trip. Coming to the "quirks". Scheduling and the phone conversation was not particularly clear. Their open times, the different types of massages they offer, the price of the massage. During the start and the course of the massage, it was also unclear what was expected in terms of clothing since we chose a foot reflexology which also included some body massage. Typically this is a clothes on massage at other places and it seemed to be the same case here based on the initial conversation. But later we were told you need to undress for the full benefit of the massage, i.e. it was no longer optional. Which, after the massage, was clear why but it wasn't what I was told/expecting going in. There was a little "tucking/folding" of the under garments to massage your lower back but without warning, lol. Again, the after effect of the massage was great so I'd suggest keeping an open mind if you decide to come here! Overall, I would return because now I know the quality of the massage and what to expect!

I'm so happy I came!! My masseuse's name was Hannah and she did a great job!…read more I'm visiting the area from central California to house-sit for my aunt and uncle while they're away. I made the drive from Fresno and my body wasn't happy with me. A quick Yelp search for massages near me and I found this place. I'm always a bit skeptical of massage places on Yelp when they don't list services or prices. But I chose this place because it was one of the few places that listed their services and prices. Don't be intimidated by it's hole in the wall appearance. If you can muster your courage, you'll be treated to a gem of an experience The massage was great!! Hannah worked out all my knots!! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! A great massage at value prices. I got an hour long, full body massage (Swedish) for under 60$. What?!?! They accept walk-ins but I made an appointment just in case covid capacity had to be considered. I don't know if they require masks, but I wore one even though I'm vaccinated. I figure if staff are still wearing theirs, I might as well wear mine and be mindful of their cautiousness. Just be aware that their business hours may now reflect 10am-8pm. I tried to book an 8pm appointment because Yelp said their hours were 10am-10pm. But still 12/10 experience!! Ask for Hannah

I had the BEST massage ever! The place is very clean and feels soothing the moment you enter the front door.

While visiting my family in Albuquerque for Mother's Day week how I wished I had more time to go get one last massage before flying out.

First off he really cares about the satisfaction and health of his clients. Everything is very clean and the staff super knowledgeable. The prices are decent and in every venue they have been in it feels like a true spa experience without the spa prices. The staff employed there are professional and friendly. I've recently moved from the Albuquerque area but whenever im back in town going in is always a MUST and is really one of the few things I miss about New Mexico.

She believes that massage doesn't need to be painful to be effective, she has an amazingly light and gentle touch. Massage can be combined with chiropractic adjustments for maximum benefit, along with medically prescribed massage. Essential Living oils are used to add aromatherapy to the massage at no additional charge. If Joann isn't available, Anthony Alden and Shannon Cooley are also available for massages and everyone has extensive knowledge of the many different types of massage, along with each specializing in certain massage methods. Their massage prices are very reasonable. Joann also provides semi-private and group classes in Kundalini Yoga during various evenings of the week.

The appearance outside may not say much, but inside, one definitely felt safe and relaxed. I got a firm 90 min massage with deep tissue option with Kristy and I really.enjoyed it. Usually when I go to some places on affordable side, the environment made it hard for me to relax..but at this place..and in Kristy's good caring hands, I definitely and unexpectedly even fell asleep. I also love that you can customize your massage with a different scented (or unscented if you choose to) oil as well. For me, I picked therapist's choice because I was so indecisive..so I let Kristy picked for me. She combined rose and peppermint scent and I thought it was wonderful. If you want, you can also customize with some other add ones like hot stone, guasha, brushing, etc too. I like this spot and plan to be back again soon!

We came in on our year anniversary a little apprehensive as neither one of us has had a couples massage before. They were sooooo kind and accommodating. We felt right at home. Calvin performed my massage and it was amazing. He asked a few times about the pressure which I appreciated. The pressure was perfect. My boyfriend had Jass perform his massage and she suggested a few things that he agreed with. It was so relaxing for him that he fell asleep twice. I would definitely recommend! They are tremendously professional, offer excellent suggestions, it's affordable compared to some spa's out there, and it's a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon. Cheers!

I had a lovely lovely massage with Anastasia…read more The set up is really nice -- she has a beautiful spacious room that's beautifully set, immaculately clean, nice music. I loved Anastasia's technique -- very unique -- she relies on her fingers and broad strokes and she manages to clear a lot of spine tension this way. I've had someone else use this technique before a long time ago and the problem there was that they were too rough and then my vertebrae would be sore. Anastasia is very intuitive and uses her hands quite well so you get just enough pressure to release the tension but nothing is sore. I like that she uses broad strokes and gentle finger movements to release pretty deep tension. She has a very flowy style, her massage is extremely relaxing. If you want to release tension but dislike massage styles where they ram the elbow as hard as they can in your shoulder -- Anastasia is for you. I also really like her work on the feet. Finally, the scalp work is amazing and I think she gives by far the best face massage I've ever had. She seems very caring, intuitive, and empathetic and the massage is both very light and deep. This is not a brute force kind of massage (which can have its place too), she uses her fingers in a very artful fashion and works with a lot of finesse, wisdom, and understanding. As others have mentioned, she seems like the nicest person too and seems to work very hard to make this a pleasant experience for the client. She seems like a very kind empathetic person that genuinely cares about her clients and an excellent massage therapist with a very unique, effective, gentle and sparing technique that still gets the tension out. I loved my massage and am coming back to see her again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Anastasia.
