Grae Wellness — Local services in New York

I called at 11:50 this morning and made a deep tissue appt for this evening. Gave my email address and was told I would receive and email shortly and just needed to click “confirm.” As an afterthought, I asked for the price (couldn’t find it on the website). Guy said $235 (or something in that ballpark) for a 1 hour deep tissue, or $185 for first time. I said that I wasn’t expecting it to be so high, that I would probably keep the appointment, and would call back within 15 minutes if I needed to cancel it. (Should have just kept my mouth shut, but can’t help the urge to just be honest. In an event, I said please make the appointment because I was almost certain I’d keep it.).

He replied “how about you call back in 15 minutes if you want to keep it.” I calmly explained that I had been calling spas for 50 minutes to get a massage that day, everyone was booked, and “can I please just make this spa appointment?” He said okay.

Forty minutes later, I still hadn’t received the email confirmation. I call back and said “hi again, i called earlier to make an appointment and never got the confirmation, so am just following up.” Guy said he intentionally did not enter the appointment because I sounded uncertain. I reminded him that I had said (and had reiterated) that I wanted to make the appointment, and that he had replied “okay.” He acknowledged saying “okay,” that he would put me down for this evening, and recalled the conversation correctly, and then started aggressively talking over me. I said, “I just wanted to make a massage appointment, but this has been distressing, so now I am cancelling.” He cheerfully replied, “okay!”

Couple things: Felt compelled to post because I am not someone who has beef with strangers, and this was just bizarre. Also - couldn’t this have been avoided if he had sent me the confirmation email as promised—I.e., isn’t that the point of the...

Hi Mr. Grae,

Sending blessings. I wanted to take the time to write to you to tell you what a blessing it was to experience a massage at your sacred space.

I woke up the next day feeling completely different. No exaggeration. I haven’t been able to exercise consistently for about 15 years because my back would just go crazy…I would experience a ton of pain. I was able to walk but no aerobic anything. But that next morning I decided to try to do an aerobic exercise class online and I’ve been doing them ever since. And my back is okay!

I also couldn’t move in some ways. Like my arms/shoulders would lock up. And now I’m like Gumby! It’s wild.

I really felt like my body was giving up on me in some ways (because perhaps I had given up on it for some time). I think the massage was a God pill in a series of many God pills that I needed. Certainly, it helped regarding releasing stress and trauma.

Overall I just feel so much lighter and so much healthier. I’m on my way at least. I am now of the firm believe that all seniors such as myself should experience at least one of your massages in their lifetime!

And so I just wanted to say THANK YOU. And I pray blessings over the works of your hands…and that your sacred business continue in a robust and healing...

This was my second time coming here, but first time getting a massage from Tim Grae. It was PHENOMENAL from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Great conversations, ambiance, he makes you feel pretty comfortable and will answer any questions you have. The massage itself!? It’s not your average massage ok, it will get you right and you’ll feel so much relief. There was new found tension in my body that I never knew I had. He’s so skilled at what he does. Lots of breathing to get through and it’s also still very relaxing. I got off the bed feeling so light and euphoric. I’ve had a my fair share of massages at other places, but I’ve NEVER had one like this. I could literally feel the tension and stress be flushed out my body w. The techniques he does. Moving was easier afterwards and I just wanted to dance and flow 😂. I suffer from back, neck, and shoulder pain having scoliosis, and my back feels SO much better. I’ll...
