Mandi was a fantastic massage therapist - this was the first massage I've had that wasn't just relaxing, but felt restorative and focused on underlying muscular issues that contribute to my back pain. After the massage, we discussed some of the techniques she used and she really knows her stuff! I'll definitely be back and will recommend Mandi to my friends.

It's clear Mandi is an expert at her craft. I have been struggling with shoulder mobility and she shared stretches/exercises I can do for mobility. The massage was great! With working from home my posture is definitely suffering so this was an excellent reset. The space is so nice and so sparkling clean!

I had been experiencing knee and shoulder pain for days and was desperately in need of some relief. That's when I decided to book a massage with Jihaad and I'm so glad I did! He listened attentively to my concerns and made sure to focus on the areas that were bothering me the most. The pressure of the massage was just right, and Jihaad was able to pinpoint the exact spots that were causing me pain. I noticed a significant improvement the following day, and it continued to improve. Thank you, Jihaad, highly recommend!

I was gifted a 60-min pre-natal massage, and it was amazing. The room was very comfy and relaxing, and the heated massage table was great especially since I went during the winter. I left feeling rejuvenated, and even though the massage is the priciest I've ever had, I'm thinking of going back again.

I don’t mind the location but last week, the next client (who must have come early) opened the door while I was getting my massage.. it was a very disarming. I’ve never had that happen before at any massage place I’ve been to. Love Joann, she’s great but I hope they’re able to confirm that this cannot happen again and that the client feels safe and comfortable the whole time.

The Jacx Building is beautiful. The lobby doorman were helpful as they directed me to the 5th floor. Upon arrival I checked in and was a free offered beverage. I had some delicious Kombucha before proceeding to the 8th floor where I was met by my friendly masseuse Marlene. She led me to a room where she proceeded to ask me the usual health question and what part of my body required the most attention. (Check out the 5th floor outdoor area before you leave the building. It is a little bit of paradise in LIC).

This was by far the best massage I’ve ever gotten. I went with my husband for a couples massage and both of the masseuses (Marlene and Ivan) were very professional. They worked on every muscle accurately and made sure we feel comfortable the whole time.
The room is located at WeWork building, which is a beautiful environment, open space high tech vibe, and the spa room itself has its own quiet, peaceful atmosphere as you would love to have in your massage. The place is super clean and the music was very calming, which made the experience even better.
Highly recommended!!!

The room is located in a WeWork space, so it's not the typical spa/massage ambiance that you would expect at a spa establishment. WeWork is a nice space, but you could still hear people walking and talking outside of the room. The inside of the room is nicely decorated as well, there are curtains to block out some light in the room.

Honestly, it's way too bright in the room and very strangely in the middle of an office environment. There isn't really a decompression space to put you at ease before the massage. Definitely not ideal. That being said, it was not something that would prevent me from coming back.
Business response:
It’s great to hear such minor inconveniences won't keep you from coming back for what we do BEST: quality massage! Regarding location/ambiance; We’re a Holistic Medi Spa, as such we don’t offer luxury spa amenities. We have a bright, open lounge on a rarely trafficked floor, w/ unlimited refreshments. As a small biz, we rely heavily on reviews; Rather than getting a negative one about lighting, we’d prefer you address the issue during the session so the LMT can fix it.
