I booked a couples massage for my fiancé and myself here a couple of days ago. I was assuming that it was just a Swedish massage when I booked it. However, it turned out to be much, much more than that and it was a nice surprise. The people here are warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is very laid back and the level of skill that the massage therapists have is unlike any that I've experienced before. I am not a rookie when it comes to having massages by any means either. I haven't had a session in awhile, but I used to go on a very regular basis. This was my fiancés first experience, however. My therapist was Marina and he had Sommer. I chose the 90 minute massages because I've done this long enough to know that less than that amount of time just isn't enough lol. Marina used a combination of techniques and enhancements on me. Some that I haven't experienced before and others that I had- reiki/sound healing, hot stones, aromatherapy, hot towels, Swedish and even a little deep tissue. Sommer used a similar combination on my fiancé, but not everything that I received (I'm thinking because he was so new to the experience). When the 90 minutes was over, we both laid back on our tables, just grinning at each other like a couple of kids. It was, by far, the best massage experience that I've ever had. My fiancé immediately said that he wanted to come back and that he never knew what he'd been missing. I let him know that the experience we had was very special. I'm sure that there probably isn't anything like this place where we live. The entire experience was as beautiful, unique and spiritual as Asheville itself. If I lived closer, I would make it a point to see Marina on a monthly basis. I do come to Asheville a few times a year though and we will definitely visit again. I just can't say enough about Blaizing Lotus!! Thank...
Read moreMy husband I were able to get a couples massage earlier this week, and that experience is all we talk about. Let me tell you, go ahead online and book a session! We each were welcomed with warm and loving energy, offered really good quality and handcrafted warm tea, and introduced to our massage therapists. I was able to bond to Jessie, whom asked me clarifying questions to cater to my health needs. Not only was she sensitive to the list of problem areas, but she was able to communicate and feel tension in other parts of my body that I didnt know needed so much attention. She is really intuitive and intelligent and knows her craft! She listened and created such a positive relationship and environment within the hour. My mind and body were at absolute peace with her healing hands! I have never had such a custom and beneficial massage like that! I almost cried, I was so happy! I had to hug her at the end. She also was so helpful answering my questions on how to provide self care between visits. I appreciate she took the time to educate and help me feel more in tune with my body. My husband also had Sam, who he raves about. We now have a very sacred and respected place to go when we come into town. This place really lives up to the name of being a healing house! Thank you, Blazing Lotus, for providing a sanctuary and wonderful professionals that use the power of their good...
Read moreI had an incredible experience today with Sierra at Blazing Lotus in Asheville. The location is so convenient, just near downtown, and the entire vibe of the repurposed home sets the perfect atmosphere for relaxation.
Walking in, I was immediately greeted and checked in. Sierra then made intros and led me to the beautifully decorated Thailand room. It felt like stepping into an oasis, warm and cozy.
Before the massage, Sierra took the time to do a thorough pre-session interview, which I really appreciated. She was attentive and listened carefully, especially since I’ve been dealing with SI joint pain. Sierra then carefully targeted those tricky areas around my hip, and I could tell she really understood how to address the area without causing more inflammation - it was pain free.
The massage itself was amazing—so relaxing that I swear time stood still at least twice during the session! Sierra’s technique was skillful and thoughtful, and I left feeling completely at ease.
The post-session conversation was also a lovely touch. Sierra made sure I was feeling good before I left and offered helpful advice. Checkout was smooth and effortless, which was the last star on top of an already fantastic experience.
I’ll definitely be back for more sessions with Sierra. Highly recommend Blazing Lotus for anyone looking for a peaceful, restorative...
