Response from Inner Essence Spa
As the owner here at the business I have put my heart and soul into for the past 6 years, I am thoroughly disheartened that an individual who couldn't make it past her own discriminatory assumptions about therapists from places around the world. I have been blessed to work with and experience the truly healing practices that have originated from all over the world with these exceptional ladies. All therapists at Inner Essence speak perfect English, as well we have the ability to cater extremely well to those who speak native languages from Italy, Phillipines, Puerto Rico, Ukraine, Russia and Poland. We actually do offer "clean" showers, lockers, cushy robes and slippers for all of our guests, and had this person made it past meeting the therapist she would have more accurate information to put into a review.
