From beginning to end this was one of the most wild, and oily, massages I've ever had. My provider didn't speak much English, which was not much of a problem. I have chronic pain, so I'm pretty familiar with the normal 90 min. procedures. However, she didn't get that I didn't want full body- just neck and shoulders -so when she started on my legs I was a bit surprised, but it felt nice so I just went with it. Why not? When she did get to my shoulders everything was quick and pulling, more like deep issue pinching. Still, no harm is being done so no need to interrupt her process to get out google translate-a shoulder rub is still a shoulder rub. HOWEVER, that all changed in the last 15 minutes of my 90 min session she starts to oil my ENTIRE face and SCALP with oil. Not just the left over oil on her hands, a fresh palm full...which I had no idea about until her palms hit my cheeks. Literally, a full palm full.
I have never had my entire face and hair OILED from chin to forehead then root to tip at the end of a massage.
It happened so fast I didn't have time to stop her before my hair was already trashed. I've had loads of providers do a temple massage to round out a session, but never have I ever had this. I have to confess I was SO embarrassed when I looked at myself while getting redressed. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had two hair pins with me already! I had another apt. right after with my dentist. Going in with greasy hair and covered in oil was very embarrassing; I'm sure they are still cleaning me off the vinyl chair as we speak.
Again, the practitioner was mostly fine-actually kind of a cool blend of body work and Thai massage-but it was def not relaxing due to how quick and rough it was...which, again, cool since I needed deep body work and maybe that is just her style. The oil, however...fam.. If you go here make sure you talk with your provider about their oil usage before you are face down half naked on a table. If you have plans after, I recommend skipping anything above the neck since you will def need a shower...or two.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreNot worth $115 to be, what they call, ābuffedā, by a car waxing machine and massage gun, literally. Very disappointing. Iām not sure if I got a new body worker but is was far from a great experience, different than what the reviews showed. For a 75 minute massage I expected a full body but received a bunch of poking and elbows. The person kept walking away from me leaving me unexpected. It didnāt feel healing nor relaxing. Although the person working on me was very sweet, this has nothing to do with them but their lack of experience and skill. Itās a different experience sharing a room and keeping your clothes on, which didnāt bother me. I donāt know if I even received the CBD oil cause I specifically asked for it on a hurt knee but not sure how you can do that if you request the client to keep their clothes on. Also the hot rock experience lasted briefly just on my back, again not worth it. I donāt usually leave reviews like this but when people are in need of healing and body work, thatās what I expect especially for the price I was charged. I could do a better job using my foam roller than what I received. I walked away looking for another...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreTHIS PLACE!!! First of all, getting a session with our short time line was a breeze! We did couples massage with Courtney and Coop. Might I just say we have NEVER felt better. Bodywork is different than just massage and being former athletes, they knew what to do, how to bend and twist, rub and buff, and contort our bodies to get the most of our visit. THEY WELCOME MOANS AND GROANS!! We have had traditional Thai massage before getting them at least once a month and never ever have those sessions compared to the experience we received last night!! I have never been looser and able to move as I am after they did their āmajicā!!! They have 3 locations!! Boise, Mtn Home and Caldwell. Instant zen when entering and not like most studios that pump and dump. They took their time, we even received ALL our time, and even got good clarity about the work being done. We will be doing monthly visits back to Idaho to get sessions from now on even if we have to fly in the morning and leave afternoon, it is now required!! SO GO!! Well...
