Where do I begin? That's right! Best massage I've had in a WHILE, at a price well below market for the area, in a tidy second-story suite. If massages were shopping experiences, Peaceful Body Spa is neither high end boutique nor dollar tree. Rather, it's your aging but dependable local Target that's due for a remodel but you still get all the Target merch and the staff is reliable so what does it matter. You get me?
Now for the particulars -
- Booking: I had to book online and it was simple enough. A bit unusual that I was asked to pick three dates/times that could work for me and they booked one (my first choice, later that same week, which was great). No payment up-front, so I felt the risk was minimal.
- Getting there: I added a picture to this review for each step of the way! Find the door next to the kids' shoe shop ground floor, they'll buzz you in. Note that second floor only appears to be stairs accessible so that may be a challenge to watch out for if you are a differently-abled patron with mobility challenges considering this venue.
- Price / payment: price was great, even better if you pay in cash. They have an ATM on-site that only charges a dollar. Don't forget to tip when you're pulling cash out.
- Experience: There is no massage foreplay, as it were. Get undressed, get on the table, buckle up because (in my case) you asked for a deep tissue massage and you're going to be breathing through it while they massage the crap out of you. I was part of a 2-person massage so we had a bigger room at the end of the hall. If solo, expect a curtained smaller but still private room.
It's likely a language barrier thing, I wasn't asked if I had tender spots or where I wanted to focus. That said, if I had a request while getting treatment my masseuse was kind and responsive. When the timer goes off their time is up and they leave the room without comment. I guess what I'm saying is, the experience surrounding the massage itself is a bit spartan compared to other massage outfits I've been to. Now that I know what to expect, I'm good.
In summary: this is a no-frills experience and a quality massage at a reasonable price. 100% would happily return as a regular if I lived near here full time. 4 stars due to accessibility constraints and experience, was a 5-star massage.
