Wellness Origin Spa — Local services in Carmel

Let me start by saying... Nathan is the best massage therapist in Indianapolis. I have battled migraines for over a decade with varying levels of relief found from prescription meds, OTCs, meditation and deep tissue massage. I have had deep tissue massage at dozens of spas in Indianapolis over the course of 15+ years here and always on vacations as well. Some therapists are better than others and I typically would find temporary relief after these sessions if the "deep tissue" truly delivered some pressure. I went to see Nathan because I purchased a Groupon and was having migraine flair ups again. Little did I know I would have the best massage I have ever experienced and find long term relief from my migraines; I never expected that to be a reality. After battling migraines for so long, I have never really trusted that anything could keep them at bay for longer than a few days to a week or two at best. When I first went to Nathan, I not only had an excellent session with true pressure but I also found migraine relief for 3 weeks. I was so impressed that I booked a follow up appointment and found even more relief. I have now had over 6 monthly sessions and can safely say that my migraines have nearly dissapeared. For over a decade I have always been one to keep "emergency" Excedrin in my purse, car, and work desk for those sudden onsets that can be dangerous (esp. while driving). Recently, I went on a trip abroad for 2 weeks and forgot to even pack my Excedrin! When I realized I had forgotten it, I was panicked - but I didn't have a migraine the entire trip even when stress and other triggers were present. I honestly attribute this to the work Nathan has done with me and wish I had found him years ago. He is always professional, always attune to my goals, and provides consistent quality massage every session. I am not one to write reviews typically, but I must give credit where it is due. I am sure I will battle intermittent migraines forever, but Nathan has significantly reduced my migraine frequency (from a few a month to once every 2-3 months), which has improved my health and quality of life. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Take it from someone who knows massage, knows migraines, and knows Indy... this guy is the real thing and worth...

I wasn't going to write a review because my experience a few months ago wasn't horrible, and it was via a Groupon, so I didn't want to be one of those whiny Groupon people. But I recently mentioned my experience to another esthetician, and she was shocked. So, I had a Groupon for a facial. The gal was okay - kind of impersonal and she didn't tell me about any of the products she was using. I had to ask, "That smells nice, what is that?" Usually they tell you what they're putting on your face... Then the kicker was that she put a peel on, which I didn't really expect for regular facial, but okay. She said "I'll be back in a couple minutes." I took that to mean 3, maybe 5, but there was a clock on the wall and I can promise you she was gone 12 whole minutes. Weird, right? The peel was not strong, so my face wasn't burning, luckily. But I've never had a facial where someone just left for that long. Other times I've gotten a neck or hand massage while a masque was on my face, as a part of the service I paid for, but again, it was a Groupon, so I wasn't going to complain. But the esthetician I mentioned this to was scandalized and said, "You NEVER leave for more than a minute while someone has a peel on! They could have a bad reaction!" So here I am writing this review. The other reason is that I DID mention this in my reply to the "Give us your feedback!" email I received after my appointment, within a day, to which I got zero response from anyone at...

I literally had the BEST massage of my life! I originally found this wellness spa through Groupon as I was in dire need of a deep tissue massage. As we all know getting services through Groupon can be a hit or miss at times, but trust when I say this was a HIT! My experience was amazing from beginning to end, starting with the sweetest customer service I received from the receptionist when I booked my appointment, to even having to call her on my way to the appointment because I got a little lost (their building is kind of tucked away), and she was so nice to stay on the phone with me to give me direction (it clearly was not Siri’s best day..lol). So I did arrive a few minutes late but my masseuse was Awesome! His name is Nathan and he gave me the BEST deep tissue massage I have EVER had in my life! I’m not sure where he got his training from (clearly it was from Heaven because he had the hands of an Angel), but he did a fantastic job. So much to the fact that even though I got stuck in traffic on the way home and was rudely cut off by some stranger in a big suv, all I could do was smile and sing me a littl tune versus saying ever curse word in the American language (that’s how relaxing that massage was). I’ve already booked my next appointment with Nathan and I highly recommend that if you’re looking for an Amazing massage you check out Origin Wellness and...
