I also got a 60 min full body massage from groupon. This was my first ever massage so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great. I feel really good after, and she was able to identify areas of my body that really needed attention.
If you go in the front door it’s downstairs, but she made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. I’m glad I went!

I got a 60min massage Groupon. To be honest, I was nervous going in because of some of the negative Unilocal reviews. I was wrong to worry at all!
Amy is the best massage therapist I have ever had. She has a great understanding of the anatomy and amazing control of how much pressure to use. My issue with other massage therapists is that they never use enough pressure to make me actually feel like I got a massage. She is so amazing that I didn’t have to tell her what to do. After she gave a quick examination of my major muscle groups and pressure points, she knew exactly where to target. I am definitely coming back here despite being knee deep in debt from school loans. Her massages are worth it.
Another reviewer gave a great tip on entering from the back door. Yes, definitely do that. Her office is very easy to find if you enter from the back.
She is not weird about tip at all. She was so pleasant and kind. I am taking my mom here when she visits me next.
English is not her first language, but she is proficient in it. Take your time to speak slowly and clearly — you won’t have any trouble communicating with her.

I purchased a foot massage from groupon and finally redeemed it and was beyond disappointed.
The massage itself was supposed to be focused on the feet with ten minutes on the shoulders and neck. It was a whole body «massage». I use the term loosely because it was anything but relaxing. There was no soft kneading motions. There were lots of strong shaking back and forth and pulling and tugging of the arms and legs. It was anything but relaxing and nothing like I expected.
That wasn’t even the worst part of it. From the minute I walked in she pointed out that I was fat and kept telling me I was fat and need to loose weight. It wasn’t mentioned once but over and over again to the point where I wasn’t responding and almost walked out. I had to speak up and tell her enough with telling me I was fat because it was insulting. I came for a relaxing massage but instead I got repeatedly insulted. I would never return to her again nor would I recommend it to anyone. One of the worst experiences I ever paid for.

I attended acupressure school in NYC my 20’s, and I want to say that Amy is an excellent massage therapist. I have received two massages while visiting CT this year, both of which were very high quality. Amy was even able to relieve some the built-​up tension in my wrists and arms which was very helpful since I am a part-​time professional pianist. Since English is not her native language, one needs to be a little patient when arranging an appointment.

I also found Amy through one of her Groupons. I have gone back to her many times since. She gives me, as a regular customer, a very good price and does a thorough massage. I always opt for the foot massage which is usually about 15 or 20 minutes on the feet and then you get a full body massage for the balance of the hour. I think she prefers to give Chinese style massage, which is fully clothed and not exactly relaxing but very therapeutic. I did get a Swedish massage from her [unclothed] and it was very good. She has been especially excellent with my foot problems and some back pain. She knows anatomy well. She is a lovely person and very sweet. I think that the folks who had some issues may have been a little unfamiliar with someone from a different culture. Her English is not the best and it is sometimes hard to know if she understands what I am saying. Yes, she is an avid proponent of ginger tea and radishes! — more Chinese culture. As for the «tip» issue… I think another communication difference. Amy gives me a very good price and then says «you add tip?» which still ends up at a really good price. Not sure why she does that but once I got the gist of it, I felt fine to go along with. Best way to contact her: text. She is usually lightning fast with her response. Enter through back door of building, her studio is right near it. Going through front door of building — forget about it!

I bought a groupon for a massage because I have been experiencing a lot of back pain and tension from stress, etc.
I had to call several times for an appointment which was a tad frustrating. However I was pleased to see she could fit me in as her last appointment.
I went and was a few minutes early, and was confused on where to go or where to wait. Wish she would have explained this more.
Overall, she was a bit rude and flustered the entire appointment. I did not feel very at ease or relaxed. She did a great job using reflexology on my feet… however I was thoroughly disappointed with my back massage. The groupon emphasized a massage that focused on the feet and back. In addition I made it clear my back was dealing with a lot of issues and needed some work but she did not seem to understand or care to help alleviate… basically she just kept on telling me to drink Ginger tea.
Finally the massage finished and I went to leave thoroughly disappointed and not at ease and she essentially haggled me about a tip. I honestly would have left her a larger one if she wasn’t rude and so pushy about it.
Overall, I definitely will not be going back. If you are a groupon user looking for a deal, don’t invest in this.

I’m always looking for great Asian massages. I was going to a place nearby, that was great, but I stopped once I started going here. Amy does a great job. She is very sweet and cares about her clients. I am so happy that I have found my CT masseuse. I will not go anywhere else.

Purchased a Groupon for me and my girlfriend for a 60-​minute massage each. We made an appointment a few weeks in advance and thought we were good to go.
We showed up today for our appointment and no one was there. No biggie. We figured it was a slow day and maybe she’d be in shortly. After waiting 15 minutes beyond our first appointment time, I sent her a text after not having reached her via phone.
About 10 minutes later, I got a text message back saying «sorry, sick today». Really? I realize everyone gets sick, but we shouldn’t be waiting at their door only to find out that they aren’t coming. A simple phone call/​email would’ve been nice (and expected).
Their reply after I said this was that they didn’t have my number. Sigh.
Needless to say, sometimes you have to wonder why these «businesses» (used very lightly) need to do business on the discount sites. I contacted Groupon for a refund.
I won’t be back, that’s for sure.
