Karen is a wonderful massage provider. Compassionate, thorough, communicates well and honors the time allotted for your massage. I never feel rushed or as if she is distracted. She gives 100 percent of her attention to her work. Strong hands, strong heart and an easy going nature. Highly recommended. I always leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.

I always know that Karen has my best interest at heat and in mind. She is reliable, consistent, and kind. She does her job superbly well, and I am very impressed with her talent and skill. I would say she has the essence of a warm family friend. I love her and look forward to seeing her as often as possible!

I was hesitant at first about trying a new therapist but glad I did. Steve was very professional and is a gifted therapist. My feet and whole body felt lighter after session. Energy blocks were freed and a few tears were shed during the session. I felt awkward at first but Steve assured me that tears were safe in his treatment room.
I will be getting regular reflexology work with him.

I especially liked Keith and will ask for him specifically next time I come back. He made me feel very comfortable. He would ask what I was comfortable with rather than assuming. He gave really good statements about what he was doing so there were no surprises that made me uncomfortable. Above all the I have stated, Keith gave me an amazing massage.
Thank-you Keith!

She was able to feel and release the trigger points and stretch my tight muscles. Im glad i went to get a massage that day and i am looking forward going there next time because i felt very good after my massage. I have tried massage from other saloons but this one is highly recommended.if you want to feel good then massage is the best to treat yourself.

Really appreciate Keith's professionalism and pace through the many areas of disarray my body arrived in. So thankful he took the time to tend to these instead of rushing for a full body this time. Very tuned in and checked with me for feedback frequently.
I think for the rate (similar to resorts I've been to), the room/plinth should be warm enough to not feel need for shiver initially.

While in Grants Pass for a few days, I injured my shoulder lifting something heavy. (Rotator cuff injury
I was also suffering from Sciatic nerve pain. A family member suggested a massage at essential wellness. Karen Suggs did an amazing massage, and relieved the pain in both areas. The pain is still gone 6 days later at time of writing this. It's not often I can drift off to sleep during a massage, but this one time, it happened. I've had hundreds of massages during my travels, but this treatment by Karen tops them all.
Thank you essential Wellness !
