Essentials of Bradenton

Christina and Vanessa are great! I’ve been to them multiple times so I give them 5 stars! I’ve been to a few other therapists and they have been okay. The reason I give three stars is because I was there one evening with my husband and the front desk girl was on the phone with someone complaining. Normally I don’t care about things like this but this is a spa. A spa is suppose to be quiet and relaxing, not a employee having a private convo for the whole waiting room to hear. I will continue to come here but I feel like this place is a hit or a miss!

I go here all the time. Every family member who comes in town always gets an appointment here. It is affordable and the staff is all very nice. The location is extremely clean and I would recommend it to anyone.

Essentials Massage and Facials is great! I went to visit my mother for Mother’s Day who surprised me with the gift of a massage. I arrived and the checkin process was quick and easy. I was then delivered into the amazing hands of Christina. I cannot say enough good things about this woman! She asked me what I was looking for, my experience with massage, as well what i liked. After starting my massage Christina immediately identified my sensitive spots, even before I had to tell her, and began working on them. There were one or two times she had to apply additional pressure to help work them out, and she let me know it would be over soon! I left a completely different person. My back felt amazing and I was completely relaxed. Christina provided a relaxing experience but I would also go see her if I was having pain or a chronic/​medical issue. She was amazing!
I also cannot get over the amazing value that Essentials provides. Coming from DC, $ 30 for a 50 minute massage is unheard of. Massages usually start at $ 100 and go up from there. If I lived locally I would be there every week!
I highly recommend Essentials and Christina!
