Essential Therapy is dedicated to the healing power of massage. Through our therapeutic techniques and our ability to communicate with the minds and bodies of our clients, we offer a true transformational experience. Clients will learn about relaxation, breathing, surrendering control and letting go of the mind which will enable them to achieve the inner peace needed for stress relief and mood enhancement.

Our Facial treatments are customized to our client's individual needs. The session generally includes deep cleansing, facial reading, extractions, decolletage and a blend of boosting, nourishing, soothing masques. We strongly believe in the holistic approach, therefore we use pure organic products to treat our clients skin to an exotic fruit and herb based Eminence Organic Skin care line.

Editorial Review for Essential Therapy – by Sandra Ramani

The Scene
Owned by Carlos Araque, whose credits include a stint as offical massage therapist to the Mets, Essential Therapy is housed in quiet quarters at the back of a Flatiron-area office building. The warm waiting lounge, three dimly lit treatment rooms and sleek bathroom (with shower) are surprisingly spacious; the pervasive scent of essential oils relaxes clients instantly.

The Services
Expert in a number of massage styles--including Swedish, deep tissue, medical, craniosacral, shiatsu, hot stone and prenatal--Essential's staff of therapists tailor each session to a client's immediate needs, working towards pain relief and prevention. For chronic lower back pain, for example, Araque may incorporate stretching and pressure-point work; with a number of dancer and athlete clients, he's also a great resource for at-home techniques and tips on incorporating massage into fitness programs.

I love this place. Although it is a big place it is very warm and cozy. It's very clean, I love the people, they are very welcoming. My massage was excellent, exactly what I needed. Every time I go I get booked with someone different, and although each therapists technique is different I have not yet had a bad massage, they all have been great. My favorite time to go is on Sundays I go there and spend a lot of time in Steam room and sauna, it's very nice and quiet. I can probably say this is my favorite place.
