Genuinely the absolute best massage I’ve ever had. I’ve never had ashiatsu before, but I’ve had many different types of other massages before from places in NYC and also at high rated hotel/resort spas around the world. This massage with Alex in Kona so far surpassed any other massage I’ve had before. The ashiatsu was able to target tight muscles that have not been worked in massages in the past. I weight lift and rock climb, so even though I stretch, I had some deep tension going on, especially in my forearms. I also had wrist pain and numbness for a few weeks leading up to the massage, that I thought might have been a trapped nerve, and since the massage the wrist pain has been entirely gone. Alex was also very attentive to personal injuries, concerns, and areas of focus. I seriously felt weightless after the massage. It’s only been about a month and I’m already searching for someone who can do a similar massage in my home city. I can’t wait to return to Kona to get another ashiatsu massage with Alex. Highly,...
Read moreOne of the best massage experiences I have ever had! Alex pays such special attention to her clients and their needs/requests. Each time I have gone to receive massage from her I have had this magical thing happen where by the end of my massage, I am so zenned out and relaxed that it feels like my body flipped to the other side of the room! I don't know how else to explain it, it's honestly pretty spiritual. Her touch is so healing and each time I go, I have to fight the urge to fall asleep because it is THAT relaxing, and I don't want to miss a second of that bliss. Her studio is always so clean and inviting, and it is obvious that Alex is incredibly passionate in her work. She's got extra's available like hot stones, essential oils and CBD to enhance the experience. I always look forward to my next visit, and would recommend this service to anyone and everyone in need of healing, relaxation and/or just a treat to yourself or...
Read moreI received my first ashiatsu massage from Alex and wow- it was exactly what I was hoping for.
Her space is comfortable and relaxing and her communication style is direct and clear to put you at ease.
Alex's ashiatsu technique felt like passive, relaxed foam rolling. Her long, broad, body weight strokes made me feel like I was being flattened by a steam roller in the best way. Pressure is easily adjusted to your preference and she checks in often with a 1-10 scale to ensure you're comfortable.
After going over an area with broad strokes, she used more precise pressure to mimic a traditional deep tissue massage in my problem areas. Which I loved. The massage finished with a traditional neck and foot massage using her hands and fingers.
Alex's ashiatsu massage was the best of both worlds- a mix of ashiatsu and traditional massage in a relaxing setting. I will definitely be coming...
