Massage in Urbandale

“I have mixed feelings about posting this review. On one hand, Malia absolutely deserves all the praise because this was hands down the BEST MASSAGE I’ve ever had! On the other hand, I’m a bit selfish and still want to be able to book an appointment with her!

Let me share all the little things that made this an exceptional experience. First, Malia has a very detailed intake form that covers everything from your preferred music, level of conversation, massage technique, and pressure. She tailors the massage exactly to your preferences. For instance, I usually don’t like to talk during a massage, but she’s so engaging. I found myself chatting away, and she would politely respond and then guide me back to focusing on my breathing and relaxation, just as I requested on the intake form.

Secondly, I’m not sure why all massage therapists haven’t invested in padding for their tables, but Malia has, and it feels like lying on a cloud. The room is dark and quiet, except for the background sound of your choice. Since she has her own space, you don’t hear conversations from other therapists and clients, which can be distracting when you’re trying to relax.

Finally, Malia has great energy. She is passionate about her work, and it shows from the moment you meet her!

I hope you enjoyed this review, but please, I beg you, leave me some appointments with her! She’s a rare find, and I don’t want to share her too much! Just kidding. Kinda.“

“Mandy is very easy to work with, and she takes heavy consideration of my input. I enjoy how efficient she is with her treatment. Very great service!“

“I have been having some back and leg pain recently and booked a massage with Ann and wow, I truly can now move my leg without the sense of heaviness and pain! She worked her magic, listened to me if the pressure was too hard, but truly brought me relief! I appreciate her professionalism and the way she made me feel relaxed. I truly recommend Ann and Active Edge!“

“I had a 90-minute massage by Rodney today. It was EXQUISITE and I have been so relaxed tonight. My body feels like liquid gold. My first time here but certainly not my last.

Another point I loved was that he didn't talk during the massage unless I did. Very important to me. I just wanted to focus on me and how my body was feeling. Bravo!“

“Jill is so gifted and kind. Her talent for finding the spots that ache is amazing. She is so mindful of your needs and does anything she can to help you feel like a dream!“

“Sophia gave me a wonderful deep tissue massage! She knew just the right thing to do for my incredibly tight muscles. She was friendly, paid attention to my needs, and I will definitely see her again!“

“This was my very first massage in my life! Ethel made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, being I was quite nervous. She was very professional so kind, knowledgeable and addressed all my aches and pains. This definitely will be my first of many??“

“She was amazing! I’ve struggled with some chronic pain and she did a great job of listening and coming up with a plan of attack. She regularly checked on how the pressure was and made sure I was comfortable. I can’t recommend any more highly. Give her a chance you won’t regret it!“

“Andrea is a staple at Master’s track meets! She offers a great service to athletes competing. She has strong hands & a great knowledge of anatomy! I hope to see her at ALL of our meets!“

“I had a hot stone deep tissue massage done by Emily. It was glorious. Highly recommended. Ask for her by name.“

“Allison is amazing; she is very knowledgeable about movement patterns, skilled in her craft of massage and a joy to be around. She takes the time to continue to learn new skills for her clients. Definitely recommend her!“

“Both of my daughters and i have dry skin. Today was the first time in a while that we woke up not itching due to Latonya's Natural Body butter. LIFE SAVER!“

“This was my first professional facial. I usually skip the face and scalp when I receive a massage, but this was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep! The hour flew by. She was attentive to my preference for pressure and heat as well as when I wanted to chat or be quiet. I loved her products and even bought some to take home! I highly recommend her services.“

“I have had shoulder problems for years and have spent thousands on PT and Dr visits with no relief. A couple sessions with Ryan I am able to move my arms again and have range of motion. Super knowledgeable and felt like he cared. His goal wasn't to schedule more sessions but to graduate to no needing sessions.“

“This place is great. Very clean, and the price was very reasonable. Cece did a wonderful job. She was excellent to communicate with and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I got the 60 minute massage. My only regret was that my schedule would not allow for the 90 minute. I will definitely get it when I return.“

“I saw Ariel for the first time after I had been in a cast for 6 weeks. Physical therapy did not help and may have made it worse. Then I found Ariel! I would recommend ANYONE who has surgery to follow up with her. She has made my life so much better! Not only is she amazing at her job, I also consider her a great friend.“

“Kim explains everything that she is doing and why, I find it really interesting. She does a great job, you can tell she has been doing it for many years!“

“Jennifer has done our massages for several years now. I have had facials and my husband goes monthly for 60 minute massage. She is very good with working problem areas and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend her.“
