Unity Healing Arts

Such a wonderful experience. Lindsey has a gifted hands. She is a good listener and able to modulate her techniques for best results. I needed to relax… and she provided me that opportunity… one of the best massages I have ever had. EVER.

I lucked upon Bradley with a groupon deal and instead of chasing the next random massage deal I knew I needed to come back to him. He is the most skillful massage therapist from which I’ve ever received a massage. He provides such a remarkable balance between relaxation and therapy. I enjoy his energy and personalized recommendations for carrying out the benefits of his massage session into real life.

What a great find! I booked a deep tissue massage with Daniel and it was amazing! He knew exactly where to work and targeted my problem areas immediately. He reminded me to breath and how important stretching is. I felt so much better afterwards. I will be back!

I went here on a Groupon. Wanting a deep tissue massage for my shoulders and groin area as I was doing Yoga many days in a row and was tight. I spent some time with the Massage Therapist explaining the problem areas, the last thing I mentioned briefly was my neck and my migraines.
Instead of tackling the areas I spent a great deal of time talking about, Shoulders and Groin he started working on my neck first. I didn’t say anything about the pressure as I assumed he knew what he was doing, but I wish I had.
By the time he was done with one side of my neck my hands were tingling and not in a good waY. He continued on the other side of my neck even though he knew what was going on with my hands and the exact same thing happened to my other hand. I then asked that he stop working on my neck all together.
By the end of the massage I still felt tingling in my hands, when it was over and I went to put my clothes back on I could barely grip things as my hands were in such disarray.
The next day I got a migraine. I am convinced that it was a cause of this massage. I wish I could have gotten a refund for this as it was meant to be a relaxing experience, but instead caused an awful migraine that lasted 24 hours.
I have had many massages of different types all over the world and never have I ever had an experience like this. I do not recommend this place.

Massage was ok– therapist very pleasant and nice just not strong enough– 75 minutes — too much time spent prep etc. overall for the money I ill try somewhere else– again was told she can do deep work — and that was not true

Got a Groupon for my first massage here and was hooked. I live in Hendersonville, so it is a bit of a drive to get here, but well worth it. After the first time, I bought the package.
Jessie did an amazing job on my way-​too-​tight quilter’s shoulders and neck as well as the rest of the body. She even showed me some stretches I could do at home to help loosen my neck and shoulder area.
Can’t wait to get back!

Enjoyed my massage by Bradley. I like intense therapeutic. He’s attentive and gets my muscles to release. I’m sure they’re great at relaxing massages too but if you’re like me, finding someone who can give deep tissue massages well are a hard find. Look no further!

Jessie was amazing. I have had massages before, but I have never had a deep tissue massage and Jesse has me hooked. I am claustrophobic and the neck attachment is very uncomfortable, but she was understanding and found a way to provide a quality massage with limited time in the neck attachment. She immediately put me at ease and targeted EXACTLY the areas I requested she address. I have other massage therapists say they will address the issues, but don’t spend as much time as I would like, but this was certainly not the case here. If you live in Asheville or just visiting, and would like to get a good massage therapist… Jessie is your person.
The facility is small and intimate, so if you are looking for the corporate mega massage salon, this ain’t it. It is a cute cottage tucked away off the beaten path. Getting her can be a little weird and you may feel like you are in the wrong place, but trust you GPS, to repeat myself, it is off the beaten path.

I’ve been extremely pleased with my sessions with Brady. He is very knowledgeable and each time makes sure to accommodate any changes in needs. He communicates well to provide an excellent overall experience.

Got a Groupon deal for a Holiday/​Deluxe Deep Tissue massage and it was heavenly.
Finding a place to park was a little tricky since their parking lot holds at most 3 – 4 cars. The location is inside a small cottage that has a very home-​y feel to it.
Amy welcomed me and offered me tea. We talked about how my body was feeling and I told her my shoulders/​upper back aches because of long desk work. I’m sure, most young professionals/​students know what I’m talking about!
Dear Lord, Amy is fantastic. She absolutely worked on the exact spots I needed (ie. in between/​under the shoulder blades) with the perfect pressure I needed. Many times, some people use too light of a pressure and some too hard. I swear Amy read my mind and the pressure was perfect. I do like my pressure to be med-​to-​hard (haha that’s what she said… sorry I just had to!).
Overall, I love this place. I just moved so I’m completely new to Asheville. I could have easily gone to Massage Envy which is a chain, but thanks to Unilocal,I decided to try this treasure gem, and I’m so happy I did.
I’ll be back! Maybe monthly? Love your body once in a while, right?

Working with Daniel has not only been a pleasure, it has been incredibly healing. When I get a massage I feel amazing afterwards and my entire body literally functions better. I am so glad I found Unity! I

Daniel was awesome. He encouraged me to incorporate deep breathing into my massage and it really made me connect with my body in a way I never have before during a massage. I’ve been doing some intense weight-​training recently and Daniel really helped work out the stiffness and kinks in my muscles. I will be back, but I think I’ll go for the 90-​minute one next time for some extra relief!

My fiancé and i went to Asheville for my 30^th birthday and received a 75 minute deep tissue massage at Unity Healing Arts. I cannot express how AMAZING my experience was here!
Danielle was an amazing massage therapist! I told her that I have had really bad upper back and neck pain on my left side for awhile, and she made sure to focus on that area. She really paid attention to my needs. My pain decreased about 75% after this massage.
I was really impressed with the service and care that they provide to you at this establishment. I will definitely be coming back here in the future!

I’ve spent YEARS and untold amounts of money trying to get relief with chiropractic and acupuncture, a MEGUN bed and you name it. But it was Natasha’s ultimate sports massages that I needed all along. I never imagined massage could accomplish so much! I’ve been a regular for a while now and my body is pain-​free, comfortable, relaxed. I can trust my body and use it! I relax like a pat of melting butter on that table and can’t believe all those years of pain could have been avoided. Unity Healing Arts is top notch on every level. I had a gift massage at a local famous «massage spa» and my great-​grandmother could have done a better job!

Karine provided a healing exceptional experience. As I mentioned to her, I felt like I was in ««good hands». She went out of her way to make the experience as pleasant and healing as possible. When I become a rich man, I will book appts with Karine whenever she is available. You can tell that Karine really enjoys her vocation and art. Unity Healing Arts is lucky to have her as a massage therapist.

My ninety minute Ashiatsu session with Annie was wonderful. She’s a very intuitive therapist, with a skilled therapeutic approach and a warm, peaceful demeanor. As a first-​time Unity client but decades-​long beneficiary of bodywork, I really appreciate the difference between receiving an acceptable-​but-​routine massage and working with a therapist that is truly present and connected to our session. Beyond the decrease in muscle tension and overall relaxation, I felt cared for; more than a standard massage, this was a healing experience, and I left their charming cottage feeling more gratitude and love than when I arrived.
Thank you, Annie, for sharing some of your gifts. I look forward to scheduling another session when I return to Asheville – hopefully as a semi-​permanent resident!

Recently returned from working on a fishing boat in Alaska with the knowledge that my two favorite masseuses had recently left the Asheville area, I was feeling apprehensive. I’d never paid a complete stranger for a massage before. Would a new person «get» my lanky body? Or be able to address the new and unusual tension in my back from this grueling and beautiful summer?
My housemate recommended Unity Healing Arts, and the session was not only relaxing, thorough, and intense in all the right ways, but also pleasantly surprising. It so happens that Brady is a subtle master of using his feet as supple tools (he holds onto bars on the ceiling to control the pressure). He offers easy and intuitive communication — tuning in quickly to the amount of pressure my muscles were asking for. The warm/​hot towels on my feet were also a pleasant surprise. Contrary to my fears that it might leave me bruised and limping, I left feeling grateful. The session did not compromise the rest of my night at all. I felt pushed to a healthy degree, and recharged and relaxed for the next 72 hours.
Masseuses and clients not using your feet, you’re missing out. Brady knows his shit — he’s professional. In a town full bodywork providers, its a pleasure to come across someone with skills finely tuned from years of experience.

After the stress of moving from DC to Asheville, I desperately needed a massage. With so many places in Asheville from which to choose, I made an appointment for 4:15pm yesterday with Brady, and crossed my fingers.
They are located in a cute little cottage next to a small castle in the Montford district, and there’s plenty of parking. It was hot as blazes outside, and I was exceedingly grateful for the cool air conditioning and calming space when I entered. Though small, the owners have made the cottage quite comfortable and it feels more spacious than it seems at first glance. Tastefully appointed with a selection of Asian-​inspired furniture, the aromatherapy used immediately infused me with a sense of well being.
I arrived slightly early, which turned out to be helpful as Brady took the time to thoroughly review any injuries, sensitive areas, and discuss the modalities of massage available. I have a ton of injuries and broken bones (all healed), and he was sure to gain detailed information about the kind of pressure I can take and the type of massage I prefer.
I opted for a combination massage that featured Ashiatsu, and if you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it! Just make sure you know what it is first — it’s not for everyone. The massage room was quite comfortable, and the relaxation music in the background was at just the right volume so it enhanced my experience. I could have done without the lavender scents (I’ve never liked lavender), but the massage oil they use is coconut, and was simply amazing on my skin.
I’ve had a lot of body work done, and it’s always a bit nerve wracking to visit a new massage therapist for the first time. With Brady, however, I felt immediately comfortable, and he always checked to be sure the pressure he was exerting was just right. At the end of the massage when Brady used the Tibetan singing bowl and I felt the sound radiate through my body, I was in a deep state of bliss.
By the time I left, I felt totally relaxed and rejuvenated — all the stress of an interstate move fled my body. Today, my skin still feels hydrated and my muscles still feel great. I’ll definitely be recommending their services to all my friends, and I can’t wait to go back for my next massage!

This IS as good as it gets.
I’ve had many, many massages. .. but my recent Ashiatsu treatment with ELIZA was ‘the bomb’. Truly amazing from a place of kindness, presence, compassion, listening, and unbeleivable hands and feet! Who would’ve guessed.
I’ll be back. .. again and again.
The space was quaint and quiet — a beautiful spot for a massage, right near downtown but far from the crowds.
THANK YOU, SO MUCH!!!
Patrick

I had a Ashiatsu Deep Tissue Massage given by Brady and it was the perfect type of perfect massage for me. I enjoy massages that work out my muscle soreness caused by exercise and also my desk job and the Ashiatsu Massage was able to do just that. There was enough pressure to work out the knots in larger muscles while still being able to use normal hand massage for the neck, head.
I highly recommend Unity Healing Arts for all types of massage!
