Just had the best massage of my life by Cat. She was amazing & it was the most relaxing 60 minutes ever. I stated a few preferences & she jumped right in & did a phenomenal job. The hot stones were such a lovely touch, too. Thank you, Cat!

First time visit and will definitely return..From the wonderful customer service on the phone.The reception was able to give me an available appointment last minute. I had been having a tension headache in my head and neck. The therapist Aaron was absolutely Amazing.I received a 60 minute deep tissue massage and oil that was exceptional 👌 👏.I appreciated the fact he ask me questions regarding my aches and pains to better target where to begin..The room.was calm and relaxing with soothing background music..So appreciate the time spent and questions ask on how I was doing during the massage as well..Essential was indeed a Great Experience
