Massage in Des Moines

“I recently had a massage at Divine Direction with Mia to help manage my sciatica pain, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, took the time to understand my specific issues and areas of discomfort, which made me feel confident I was in the right hands.

The massage itself was very focused and effective, with the perfect amount of pressure to really work through the tension without being too intense. Mia clearly has a strong understanding of sciatica and targeted my lower back, hips, and glutes—exactly where I needed the most relief.

After the session, I noticed a significant reduction in tightness and improved mobility. While sciatica doesn’t disappear overnight, this treatment made a noticeable difference in my comfort and overall well-being.

I highly recommend Mia and Divine Direction to anyone dealing with chronic pain or looking for a high-quality deep tissue massage. I’ll definitely be returning for future sessions.“

“I woke up one morning & couldn't move my neck without excruciating pain. After trying the usual route of going to my Dr & getting xrays & being sent to a nuerosurgeon with a slipped disk & several bulging disks where I was told nothing could be done as I was not a surgical candidate, yet. Ok, I'm not ready for surgery on my neck anyway. They suggested physical therapy. So in talking with my nurse daughter, she recommended I try Dr Stickel at Adio Chiropractic. I wish I had done that FIRST!!! After the first week of treatment, my pain level had dropped almost 25%. I could actually hold my head up instead of resting my head on something all the time. Now after several weeks of treatments, I can honestly say my pain is almost GONE!!! I still have days I wake up with a stiff neck, but a treatment with Dr Stickel & I'm back in the game again. Thank you Dr Stickel for giving me back my freedom of movement!!! Next time, you will be my 1st stop!!!“

“Went here for my first time at a chiropractor. I was helped by Bruce, he made sure I was heard about my past, what I did, what hurt. He went through a thorough investigation and made sure I was comfortable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone nervous about going to chiropractors.“

“Had a fantastic neck and shoulder massage by Justin. Felt an incoming migraine and it was addressed & prevented with the techniques Justin utilized. Experienced less neck and head tension immediately after the massage. Will definitely be back!“

“I had such a good massage that afterwards, I immediately purchased massages for each of my two daughters. One was pregnant and one had recently had a difficult delivery.“

“My name is Kirby small I was there a couple weeks ago Megan cut my hair and did a fantastic job she actually clipped my 40 year old ponytail! I love the haircut and I've gotten so many compliments on it she did herself proud! I am very pleased! See you soon Megan.“

“1st time client & I'll definitely return!
Laurie cut my hair exactly how I asked. She gave good advice and some tips for hair care in the future.“

“Checking in- My first time here and first time getting a massage. I always thought it was weird to have strangers rub your body. Ha! I had a gift card sitting for about 4 years and finally decided to use it. I absolutely should have used it sooner because it was amazing. The front desk person (short dirty blonde hair) answered all my questions and shared their experiences to which made me feel more comfortable. There wasn’t a long wait at all and there was a nice selection of products. It was very clean in there and smelled amazing.

My massage therapist-
Marsei !! She’s amazing!
She made me feel comfortable and her energy was great and didn’t feel like a stranger at all. She’s warm and kind. I kept my leggings on and was offered relaxing scents for the massage. She was able to get knots out of my back and made me feel so much better! When I return I will for sure be coming back to see her.

My appointment was on a Thursday and I’m writing this on a Saturday! My back still feels great. Little spots where the knots were I can tell are a bit sensitive but it’s totally normal. I slept so well after getting the massage and I feel brand new haha!

Highly recommended for anyone especially first timers. Marsei is your person! Thank you again!“

“Love getting my haircut with Courtney. She is so talented and you feel right at home! 10/10 highly recommend!“

“The place is very nice and well maintained. I have received the best massages ever from Lisa, the lo g hair masseuse. She is fantastic. She knows exactly how much pressure to apply and often asks how I am doing. Always e ited about my massages.“

“The environment was clean and tidy, the service was attentive, and the massage techniques were excellent. I felt very relaxed after the massage.“

“Loved my massage with Jackie! Everything was great - her thoughtful intake form, calming persona, heated massage bed, dark/cool/relaxing massage suite…all this AND her technique is on point. After countless massages I consider myself a "massage snob" and I can't wait go back! Give your mind and body some zen - you deserve it!“

“Great deep tissue massage by Lisa. She really dug in and I felt like a different person afterwards.“

“Melissa at Soulshine is the best massage therapist ever! I live in Virginia and discovered Soulshine a year ago just kind of randomly when I was in town working a convention. After a weekend of back breaking work I decided to treat myself to a massage and just randomly picked Soulshine. Well thank goodness I did because that’s how I discovered Melissa. She uses some sort of technique that got out all of the knots I didn’t even know I had and as it turns out were the cause of my headaches. She even massaged my jaw which helped tremendously with my TMJ. The massage was so incredible that I decided to come back this year when I was back in town working that same convention. So thank you to Melissa for working your magic on my back, jaw, neck and shoulders. And to the people of Des Moines please keep Soulshine in business so I can return in 2027 for my third year in a row!“

“I’m so grateful I found her. She’s professional, prompt, and excellent in her ability to give me the massage that I needed. I will be coming back.“

“Hannah is great, 5 stars really don't seem like enough! She listens to any problems you're having with your body and does her best to address the issues. She has entensive knowledge of anatomy and I learn new things every time I see her! Would HIGHLY recommend a massage with Hannah.“

“Such a vibe when you walk in. I love the atmosphere, I'm always looking forward to my next appointment ?“

“Payton gave me an awesome haircut! He was delightful. Will definitely see him again the next time I am in the area.Thank you Payton!“

“I've been doing regular weekly adjustments with Tate. I've shown improvement with each treatment. Friendly staff. Easy access.“

“Alexa is the best! Highly recommended! Both my wife and I are regulars. And it is good to support small business.“

“I’ve been seeing Kelliegh for a few years now and I won’t be going anywhere else. Booking is super easy, the atmosphere is soothing and relaxing, and Kelliegh is amazing at what she does!“

“It's been awhile since I've been there, but it was a special place. The masseuse I had was extraordinary, Coco was her name. She was sweet, energetic and incredible skilled. No idea is Coco is still there, but if she is...I will be back!“

“Highly recommend making reflexology a part of your routine self-care. Susan has created a warm and inviting space for relaxation. I always leave feeling held, heard, loved and recharged.“

“Luci was amazing. Full body massage at its best. Walked out feeling amazing I highly recommend this place. Happy at the end.“

“Well-deserved five stars! The shop is nice and quiet, and the essential oils smell great. My masseur was very professional-perfect pressure and spot-on acupoint work. It felt like all my built-up fatigue just melted away.“
