Zen Foot Spa & Massage — Local services in Albuquerque

Omg! Wow! I've found my new massage place! I am speechless and so happy.

This is my experience: I walk in and book a $45 combo/foot massage for an hour (nice price). The music is nice and serene. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first. Good thing I was wearing my tank top and sweat pants because they didn't ask me to remove any clothes. So if you want a good massage dress very comfortable so that their fingers can feel your pressure points. I then sit down and put my feet in this hot water, which relaxes me. Meanwhile, she is massaging my shoulders and neck. Omg, I was seeing sparkles with my eyes closed. She already knew I had a tight left neck and tight left lower back (volleyball/long distance runner). So she'll do that for awhile, massage your back while your feet soak. Then she tells you to lay down, face first. I like the tables they use instead of the normal massage tables. She then works on your entire neck, back, shoulders, mid back and lower back. She did it in sections and with added pressure each time. She knew the exact pressure and where to put the pressure, next thing I knew it my back had cracked 4 times in 4 different places.

She then moved down to my glutes and back legs. She uses a combination of her weight, hands, elbows, and forearms. She then pivots your arms and starts underneath your shoulder blades and omg, I was seeing stars. She then goes up all the way to the base of your skull and rubs their while gently pulling, and POP! My neck cracked, which felt soooo good. She massages your entire head and face and after you lay on your back. She then massages your 🐾 and shins and hamstrings, and that's where I fell asleep. I didn't want it to end.

All in all, a very good experience. I came in on a Tuesday during lunch so it was dead. I haven't been on a weekend or when it's busy. Clean towels, clean sheets, she doesn't speak much English but she can already tell where your tight spots are. I have to admit she pushed a little hard on some areas but I didn't complain because I knew those areas needed it. I'm glad someone finally has the touch and firmness to massage my deep muscles and relax my semispinalis muscles that run along my back. For a moment their I thought my lower tail bone popped as well. Highly recommend. Very good prices. I am going here from now on. My shoulder are loose and fluid. My joints don't hurt. My feet are awesome! I'm ready for another work week and can't wait to come back after payday. Hope you have the same...

Edited 1.14.23- I'm adding a star. Even though the massages don't seem as good as I remember and the price gas gone up, I went back and had an OK massage. I guess it just depends on who you get. This used to be my favorite massage place. I recommended many people to go there. My most recent visit was the worst massage I ever had. They don't soak your feet anymore. That was the first disappointment. The guy asked me if I like medium pressure or firm. I said medium. Usually I would say firm with the females but the way he asked made me nervous. I kept waiting for the massage to feel good. It never did. I had to actually say ouch a few times, because he was digging his elbows into me so hard. It hurt! I now have bruises on me and I hate to think of how bad firm pressure would have hurt. When the time was up, he abruptly said, "times up Im done." There didn't seem to be any intention for the massage, just a lot of pain. I'll be looking for a new place for my...

This has always been the place we choose to go to for a massage. The prices are good and the services are usually good as well. But the experience my husband and I received today was disappointing. We made an appointment at 8 (website stated they closed at 9) no problem scheduling. Then during massage I felt they were very rushed. One of the staffs phone rang loudly and she left the room for a few minutes to go answer it. Then they finished 5 minutes early (we paid for 60 minutes ) . One of the ladies made a comment because we only gave them $10 tip each. Stating "no one gives her just a $10 tip" . I explained to her that this is the worst experience we've had here and to be honest she us lucky she got a tip because we were very dissatisfied with our services. & still paid $122 for the massages. Unfortunately, as previous loyal customers we will no longer give them...
