Calming Corner Massage Spa — Local services in Redmond

I came here based on the great reviews, but unfortunately my experience left me uncomfortable and uneasy.

There was no intake paperwork or discussion beforehand, which surprised me since most massage therapists at least ask about health history or consent for certain techniques. The rooms weren’t fully private (just partial walls) so I could hear another client clearly during my session, including phone alerts and moaning, which made it hard to relax.

I asked for lighter pressure more than once, but the therapist kept returning to a deeper pressure that felt too intense. Multiple times, she massaged directly over my spine, which I’ve been told is something therapists are trained to avoid for safety reasons. There was also glute massage without any prior explanation or consent, and the draping left me feeling exposed and uncomfortable (and I’m not really shy about this).

I don’t normally leave reviews, but this experience crossed several professional boundaries that I wasn’t expecting. I hope sharing this helps others make an...

I had the absolute best massage experience with Sophia at Calming Corner Spa. I booked a 2-hour body massage and a 1-hour scalp massage, and every moment was exceptional. Her touch was masterful—perfect pressure, skillful adjustments, and gentle, attuned check-ins that made me feel completely cared for.

The extras—cupping, CBD oil, hot stones, and aromatherapy—elevated the session into something truly restorative. I walked out feeling completely rejuvenated.

Finally a skilled therapist who understands anatomy and muscle connection! I’ve been to 5-6 massage parlors (independent and fancy chain), and no masseuse has really addressed my core problem. I went for a 30 min scalp massage for my initial session, and Sofia immediately catches that my shoulder knots are the real problem. Without needing for excessive instruction, she knows exactly how much pressure to apply and only chats when I ask questions. I left the session very refreshed and wishing I had booked a longer session. I appreciate that her space felt safe with bright, warm lighting. I’ve been to a few in the area and don’t always feel that immediate trust with the space or personnel professionalism. Have already scheduled a...
