Omra Bodywork

I am so grateful for Amber from Omra Bodywork! She is sweet, knowledgeable, peaceful and calm. She also has a gem of a space in downtown Asheville: A perfect location to down & ease of access from the free parking lot!
Amber’s massages are both peaceful and relaxing. I look forward to a session with her! She is professional, attentive and mindful, too. I appreciated her receptiveness, as she tailored the massages to my needs.
During my 2^nd massage, I also received a facial refresh treatment and it was a great addition! I am aiming to opt for it every time! I felt that incorporating the facial refresh was just as relaxing as a normal massage. It was not distracting, but beautifully integrated into the peaceful session. My face was very clear and my complexion was more evenly toned. Thanks for everything Amber! You are awesome!

Amber of Omra Bodywork is simply the best! Her personalized approach is second to none and her professionalism and warmth forge a comfortable and relaxing environment. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment today!

My review in short: Omra gave me the best massage I’ve ever had and offers a great value.

I’m not a person that pampers themselves regularly, but when I feel my body starting to break down with strange aches and pains I typically whine about it until my wife urges me to go see a masseuse.
I had exhausted all of my groupon options for cheap (er) massages and I took to Unilocal to find a great local body work practitioner. Omra was a page back, but I really liked the sound and look of the place so I decided to schedule myself an appointment.
Amber, my masseuse, scheduled me an appointment within three days of my call, which I’m sure you know around here is a big deal, some places are booked out for weeks ahead of schedule. She was willing to fit me in on the end of one of her standard scheduled days, so I was grateful before I even stepped foot through the door.
Omra is located at a great space with an actual parking lot. Man, that is awesome. Up a couple of flights of stairs in a large shared building and you enter a magically relaxing room. It’s cozy as cozy can be. It doesn’t feel sterile, it feels loved, and well maintained. There’s decorations all around the room that give this place a homey charm. It’s like being invited into someone’s house. Thoroughly relaxing.
I’d love to give you the play by play of my 75 minute massage, but the fact is, it kind of knocked me out. I was put into this kind of weird half awake half dream state, where the massage felt like the longest, and most brief thing that has ever happened. The amount of pressure was perfect, even when I thought I wanted a bit more pressure to work out some sort of knot or twist I felt within my muscles I felt them relaxing and easing up. Super pleasant.
I can’t say enough nice things about Amber and Omra Bodywork. Truly. I’ve always ping ponged between places offering groupons, which I’m sure were a way to get me in the door of many of the spas, sanctuaries, and massage houses here in Asheville, but I never felt connected to them. Their rates without the groupon were well out of my budget. However, my full priced treatment at Omra was only slightly more than I’ve spent on deals at other places in the past, including the tip!
I don’t look forward to the next time that I need a massage, but at least I feel confident knowing that I have a prefered source of aid and relief when I do.

I have had the pleasure of receiving multiple treatments from Amber at Ómra Bodywork. She is the most skilled, most professional massage therapist I have ever had work on me. Her approach is completely personalized and she tailors each treatment to her clients’ needs. She is knowledgeable, personable, offers affordable treatments, and has years of experience. I would highly recommend Ómra Bodywork to anyone who is looking for the best massage therapy experience in Asheville.

Amber at Ómra Bodywork is a fantastically talented Massage Therapist. She has years of work experience and continuing ed. in a wide range of treatments, and she is both delightfully personable and 100% professional. I’d recommend her to anyone, without reservation!
