WHAT A GEM. Not only was Liz’s massage the best I’ve had in Brooklyn, her calming presence and care put the experience over the top. They also have a beautiful backyard you can lounge in—plus free strawberries and almonds after your session!!
I’m convinced that the only reason why this place isn’t booked out weeks in advance is because the people who like it want to keep it a secret.
It’s well designed, uncrowded, full of thoughtful touches (skincare supplies in the bathroom, clementines passed around in the sauna), and everyone working there was helpful and kind.
I truly had such an amazing experience here! What a special Brooklyn retreat. Steam room, hot tub, and saunas. The space was clean and peaceful, and my massage was incredible! Couldn’t recommend it enough.
