I visited Essence Massage Studio on a whim. I was 8 months pregnant and in extreme pain from sciatica. Janine was wonderful. She took the time to listen to my complaints to pin point where I would need the most work! She has hands of magic! I have never felt better after a treatment. I have been to specialists and chiropractors and they didn't do the trick. Janine was extremely sweet and professional. Her studio is beautiful and relaxing! I even booked a couples massage for my husband and I as a treat, that was amazing! He ususlly doesn't like to get a massage either and said he would go back as well. I have found my new hot spot to go! Thank you Janine for everything! You will be seeing me again and again! ~April

VERY DISAPPOINTED

after reading these reviews I was really expecting an amazing experience I was very disappointed. The owner did my massage I think she is the only one there except for couples . Her massage was ok I just expected this transcending experience, I checked out their website & it seemed like this was going to be someone with this great energy to take me to another level....not at all. I didn't like her energy at all she seemed kind of pushy for me to extend my massage for longer & to book other services. I re-read these reviews before posting this & I think 1 is from her, she kept saying everything was yummy. I just wanted to relax not listen to a sales pitch. like I said the massage was ok, I've certainly had a lot better. One thing I that really creeped me out is that her hands were clammy & that's just 1 thing I can not stand is someone touching me with clammy hands! Oh ya & the business next door had loud music playing...sooo NOT relaxing!! I won't be returning.

My first massage here was absolutely the best massage I've ever had! Janine takes the time to figure out where you need work done and she really gives it her all. After that first visit, I was hooked! I now visit regularly to have a great experience and make my body feel wonderful. I'm so glad she is also offering pedicures! I had mine this weekend and it was also a wonderful experience.

The best pedicure I've ever had was at Essence Massage Studio. Gloria was very professional. She made me feel very relaxed. After appying the mask she wrapped my feet with moist warm towels, soooooo relaxing. Especially while I was sipping my Herbal Tea. The final outcome was I ended up with Beautiful Feet. Thank you
