I had Todd T. for a 90 minute full body massage. I had never had a male masseuse before and now I don’t think I will ever go back. Todd is a master of his art, he was firm and gentle all the same time. He took the time to learn what was going on with my body and apply that knowledge during the session. The steam sauna after the massage was the cherry on top.
Now the day after, I feel incredible.
I will be back!!

Reviews
Been coming here for a long time, I really enjoy phoenix night sauna. It’s a good relax downtime and they have really nice staff on the front desk Sarah is such a sweetheart. She’s always very helpful. I would highly recommend this spa . Also love the out door shower.
I love this cutie little sauna in the woods that is clothing optional. Simple and effective, this little 4 personal sauna allows you to add water to the rocks to create steam. Cooling off options are a gorgeous outdoor shower or just resting on the seat outside. No frills, just good vibes. Vela provides a basket for your personal items, towel, and optional sandals. I didn't see lockers. I didn't have a massage but maybe one day. I would definitely come back for a little sauna-ing! Price: $30/1hr - they want you to complete showering and dressing within the hour time slot.
