I had the wonderful opportunity to check out Verdant Retreat. The moment you walk in I was impressed by the peaceful oasis vibe inside. I selected the scalp therapy and cranial massage. Alice, my massage therapist put me in the private room for my consultation which involved some cool tech that took a magnifying look at my scalp. We discovered that I have a sensitive scalp and she hand selected the shampoo, scalp treatment and conditioner. I then undressed from the waist up and was given a plush bath wrap to wear. You lay down on this special massage table that has a built in tub for your head. She placed a weighted blanket on me which instantly made me feel relaxed and I snuggled in for a body scrub massage of my neck, shoulders and upper chest. Then came the essentials oils, a blend of eucalyptus, sandalwood and tree tree. The scent was heavenly. I loved getting my hair washed and the cranial massage put me to sleep, SO good. The pricing structure reminds me of how spa treatments are done in Japan, no tipping, which I was pleasantly surprised to see. If you’re looking for a uniquely relaxing experience, try...
Read moreI saw Alice for a 90 minute signature massage this week and it was fantastic! I had a tight knot in my shoulder that had been bothering me for weeks, which she quickly found and completely resolved (and found more tight muscles).

Read moreI always try to give the benefit of the doubt and try to err on the side of a slightly higher rating if in between so please excuse this unequivocally blunt review.
Website was impressive with some glitches but was able to book online. Wanted an hour foot massage. It was the worst one ever in my life and I've had foot massages everywhere! No pressure, it felt like a baby was doing the massage. I must have dozed off for a bit and noticed that the masseuse would stop massaging me! When I moved my hands she would start up again then stop if she thought I was asleep! Then she straight up asked for whether I would tip on my card or in cash! To top it all off, they had their two dogs lying on a massage table two over in the same room. Hygiene issues? 🤔 That is hour of my life I'll never get back and money wasted. Avoid! Avoid...
