Me and my friend came here for what we wished could have been 90-minutes of relaxation and relief. I won't go out of my way to throw anyone under the bus BUT - the practitioner that took me through a 90-minute "deep tissue" massage had me feeling more like I paid for a 90-minute torture session. It's now been three days and my neck and back feel like they're broken. At one point he had put my arm behind my back and cranked it leaving my shoulder feeling like it nearly popped and when my arm was relaxed I felt an extremely high sting through my elbow. The practitioner didn't use any oil for the first bit and it literally felt like he was using a carrot peeler on my skin and my skin has been in extreme pain ever since. Everyone also knows it's a rule of thumb to NOT put oil on someones face especially after already rubbing down their entire body...hello acne....maybe at least wash your hands first? I'm always extremely cautious when booking RMT sessions as I'm an athlete with numerous injuries as is. This individual was putting me positions that I'm sure even Cirque Du Soleil performers don't even do. I literally couldn't wait for the session to be over and to make it even worse - they charged us top dollar for the session. A lesson learned. It's extremely strange that they have nothing but 5-star reviews and it is the only reason we booked through here...will surely...
Read moreEric is unbelievably gifted. My fiancé and I went to Eric’s healing center in Tulum a few days ago at the end of our trip. My high hopes based on reviews here were confirmed by quite possibly the best massage I’ve ever had. I suffer from a recurring chronic pain in my shoulder and neck that acts up from stress and athletic training. I could barely raise my arm above my head when I got to him without wincing in pain. Eric did a thorough deep tissue massage that at times was difficult to bare but I knew he was making the magic happen. At one point he released so much pain and the emotion that causes it that my eyes started to tear up and quite honestly I had to restrain myself from completely bawling which in hindsight after getting a chance to talk with Eric afterwards I knew he would have understood and certainly not judged. He is a true healer and I wish I could see him on a regular basis. Such a kind and gentle soul with an intuitive and talented touch. Days later, now back at home and exposed to the stresses of real life I am still feeling amazing and my shoulder while still tender from the deep work Eric did hasn’t felt this good in a long time. Thank you Eric. Go see him now and have your life transformed. He’s that good. And if you are in town for a brief time and have any chronic issues see him twice! You’ll thank me,...

The couple responded almost immediately on Instagram where I had several other practices in the area never get back to us?!
Me and my partner requested them for a couples massage and it was honestly the best massage I’ve ever had in my life! I’ve tried absolutely every style massage there is, so that’s saying something.
The 90 minutes massage was worth every penny!! They ask you what type of pressure and they find all the knots in your entire body with some love and tenderness. Don’t be afraid to speak up if they don’t hit a spot that’s been bothering you they’re happen to accommodate. Mine was the side of my neck my partner the hip flexors.
I like to practice some somatic breathing techniques to make sure I am moving the energy that a massage releases so I had a much more emotional release due to some grief I’ve been experiencing; where my partner enjoyed the muscle tension release.
The session is what you make of it, relaxing or healing, but I really felt like they had the ancestors and some very talented energy practices to make this such a memorable massage experience.
I would come back just to meet with them again and again! I am so sorry I found them too late in my trip or I’d have gone every other day.
10/10...
