Wellness Massage — Local services in Boulder

I want to preface by saying I’ve never written a google review before but needed to share my experience to hopefully prevent this from happening again, because it felt pretty inappropriate. When I walked in they immediately brought me back to a room and told me to get undressed, then a different woman I hadn’t met came in and starting massaging pretty aggressively. She didn’t ask me anything or even introduce herself. I couldn’t fully relax because it didn’t feel like she had any real technique. I left my underwear on and kinda early on she just pulled them down (without any warning at all) and started massaging my butt. It made me a little uncomfortable and I was just shocked. Later in the massage after she put my underwear back she got onto the table and sat on top of me. Like I’m face down with just a thin sheet over me and she straddles me. And then she put her knees on my butt and like wiggled around to massage it? It was bizarre and I was just wondering like…is this actually normal? I’ve had massages before, but never experienced anything like this, especially without any sort of introduction. I didn’t even know what this woman looked like until after the entire massage was over. When she was on top of me she also rubbed my back with her hands and her legs were touching my arms. And I mean no shame to body hair at all but it was a little weird feeling the prickly legs of a stranger sitting on top of me. Also later in the massage she stuck her fingers in my ears. In the moment I was in shock but thinking back now, it felt a little violating. Long story short, I should’ve just spent the little extra money to go somewhere legit. Massage did not help...

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE, HANDS DOWN THE WORST MASSAGE I'VE EVER GOTTEN!! Don't be fooled by the positive reviews! I almost never leave negative reviews and I wouldn't have if this massage didn't leave me in much more pain than I went in with! First of all they were very unfriendly, which honestly I don't really care about, but still weird for a place that's offering these services. The room was very cold and smelled like cigarettes. Once again, I didn't care that much because I just wanted some relief from the pain I was in while on vacation so I could go on some long hikes. I laid on the table for 10 minutes until someone walked in. Finally, when she walked she immediately started pushing on my back and I had to tell her to stop to let her know my shoulder and neck were hurting and she didn't seem to care at all. She didn't establish any problem areas of mine or ask me what pressure would be best for me. She was extremely rough and went way to hard even after I told her to go softer because, once again, my neck was hurting. I should have left right away after all those red flags. I guess I was just hoping that maybe even with the brutal pressure I would get some form of relief afterwards. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. You couldn't pay me to go back to this place and there's a reason there were so many openings on a Saturday afternoon in in the middle of summer when everyone else was totally booked. The only reason I'm writing this is because I hope I can save at least one person from going in here and getting hurt by these extremely...

I almost never leave reviews, but for those of you looking for a professional massage, save your money.

Zero intake forms, no communication about physical issues or injuries. Very rough at times, despite wincing. I (like many) find it difficult to speak correctly during a massage, and simply want to relax and not think. The therapist didn't once ask about pressure preference. Paying up front was off putting. Hot stones were a nice surprise however.

The therapist also answered her phone to book other clients multiple times during the session, which made me feel as if I was having minimal attention given to my physical needs.

Im a person who generally tips 20-30% at restaurants and always tips a massage therapist. I was so out of it and in physical pain when I left that I think I was just trying to leave. The therapist actually accosted me about leaving a tip.

I get myself a massage once or twice a year as a special treat, and I feel physically ill after this. While I empathize with hard workers in a skilled field, I am honestly not sure if this studio is run by licensed...
