Homely atmosphere at great prices!

by LT1175

I really like this place! I have been here many times and enjoy that it is small and intimate. The services I have gotten, mostly massages, have also been great. The last time I was there, though, I noticed the hot tub did not smell so pleasant. The bathroom in the women's locker room is also a little tight. And if you have a massage in a room off the main gathering area, you can hear people talking. The most recent visit was my least favorite because of that last reason. But for $70, can I complain? I have had a couples massage there before, though, and found it to be wonderful.

• Pros: the price, the intimate atmosphere
• Cons: small bathroom, stinky hot tub, thin walls

I found my new therapist!

by CSMobileUser

I was recommened by a co-worker due to my neck and upper back issues, I had an appointment with Kimberly.. Not only are her skills unmatched, she knew what my problem was before I could tell her, she was asking questions that I didn't think of! She works deeply but to my tolerance and most of all she found some knots I didn't know I had! She is a knot whisperer:) I felt so much better, I left with no headache and she even cleared my sinuses too... I have tried several spas, clinics, etc..I can't believe I found my match... I'd recommend this place to everyone, but if there's something specific, she's your girl, trust me..

Good Massage

by lloe

I can highly recommend this place. I have been experiencing pain and discomfort in my lower back for more than a week. My girlfriend suggested that I get a massage before going to a doctor to see if it would help at all. So I went to this place for a one hour deep tissue massage and it really did help a lot. The discomfort that I was feeling when I move my back subsided the next day and the pain is considerably less when I lie down or turn my back. Other than their great massage, the place was nice and the people were friendly. Highly recommended!

• Pros: showers, jacuzzi
• Cons: tips cash only

Horror story

by workchi

we were told they would come back and get us from the sauna room (there are only 3 public rooms- so not large place). 30min into our appt, we went to find them and they said they were looking for us in the waiting room. Complete miscommunication on their part but to make it worse- they would not go through with the massage NOR would they reschedule. they were complete d-bags about it when I was trying to remain calm and professional. while I was there, two other customers complained about them waiting well beyond their appt time. what a circus..

I am disputing all charges, even the ADDITIONAL charges, but I hope you will just go somewhere else simply based on the fact that the mgr, Carlos, is just a plain ol' douche.

• Pros: sauna
• Cons: management

Awesome

by Mrgr

I paid for a massage for my girlfriend and as soon as she had her massage, she bought me one because it was so good (actually she bought a couple massage which is even better). They are awesome... great massages, great customer service and great atmosphere. We plan on going at least once a month; the prices are good too. You have to try this place!

Lovely

by gogreen123

I had a good experience at Essential Therapy. My massage was one of the best I?ve ever had, my therapist did a beautiful job, listened and responded very well to all my requests. Settings are kind of unusual and I see what some other people say: you either love it or hate it, you should experience it for yourself. I personally found it very charming. The place was nice and peaceful and I loved the shower heads.

• Pros: good massage, nice showers

Great Massage

by caraPS

The best deep tissue massage I ever had...and I've had many. I felt like I really got my money's worth, the spots on my shoulders were almost gone and for sure I? m coming back to keep working on it. I truly felt much more relaxed and less stressed afterwards. I highly recommend it.

• Pros: Nice settings, convenient location

Valentine's Day

by theopinated

Nice, simple and cozy!! I rencently went to Essential Therapy for the first time on Valentine's Day as a surprise for both my bf and I, everything turned out exactly how I wanted!!! We arrived early soaked in the sauna and steam before our massages, we were even treated with a glass of wine and some chocolates. The massage was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! we wanted to extend our sessions, but considering it was Valentine's Day and they were slammed we weren't able to but, no worries...WE WILL BE BACK!!!! After our massages, My BF and I relaxed in the jacuzzi for about an hour, other couples were walking around. The place smelt good and downstairs had an exotic look to it. Considering that they were busy, we didn't feel rushed or claustrophobic. We had a great time!

• Pros: Great massage! Nice people!

UMMMM....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

by icebaby028

I took my boyfriend there for a couples massage to celebrate our anniversary. The facility is not worth the money at all. The jacuzzi was in an open hallway with two dirty moldy chairs that I would never want to sit on off to one side. Behind these two chairs, is a door leading outside where you can see bags of trash. On the other side, a dirty, old, and ripped mattress propped up against the wall. WHAT?! The sauna was okay. Nothing special. Just like the one in my gym.

The room we had for the massage was so small that the two tables could not fit side by side and was awkwardly positioned. The massage itself was great, the therapist did a good job. But with an annoying fan that sounded like the engine of a 747 jet inside the wall right next to me, it was hard to enjoy anything. The massage rooms are downstairs in the basement so whenever somebody turned on a faucet or flushed a toilet, it sounded like we were in Niagara falls.

Now I know why they're offering the discount. Otherwise they'd have no business. If you only care about getting an in and out massage then go for it. But if you're looking for romance and ambiance...you're not going to get it.

• Pros: The massage was great
• Cons: Place was dingy, small, and absolutely not relaxing.
