Booked through ClassPass considering the good rating but while writing this, I noticed the influx of negative reviews recently. However, my experience was absolutely wonderful. Very peaceful, calming and respectful throughout my entire 60 min session. Neeya made me feel absolutely comfortable and I think I might have dozed off for a few mins in between haha .. overall recommend!
I was scared at first because of my herniated back injury that I got a decade ago but wow my back is like brand new. The best massage I’ve ever gotten omggggg , obsessed! Might have to invest in massages biweekly just like how I invest in my therapy
I love coming here mainly because of the level of attention I get. I’ve seen Apo and Neeya and am very happy with their skills and services. They both are also so sweet and kind.
I do think the spa could use a good deep cleaning because the last time I went in it was humid and smelled a little musty.
But overall I love coming back here and will continue to do so.
