Healthy Body Massage Therapy

After an excellent second experience here I am now a new fan of this place.
I was contacted by the owner, Terri, who responded to my horrific first experience from a while back with an apology and notification that she had already let go of the massage therapist who had given me the initial massage She also offered an invitation for me to come back to try Healthy Body at 50% off the price of a one hour massage. I called and asked if I could instead have a free half hour massage and she said yes so I booked for later in the day.
I am so glad I came back. This was an entirely different experience than the first time. Terri gave me an amazing massage with the intense pressure that I crave for deep tissue, while inviting me to tell her to increase or decrease the pressure to my liking. I didn’t have to because it was the perfect amount. Even with all the deep tissue work I still managed to feel completely relaxed — so much that I dozed off near the end of the session. Also, she had a way of targeting my problem areas/​knots that most people just skim over or don’t pay enough attention to. It felt incredible and I really appreciate he time she spent on those spots and the work she did on them. I felt like like a brand new person when the massage was done.
This time around the room was dim and there was soothing music playing — the ideal environment for a relaxing massage. There were no loud men on the other side of any of the walls. My skin was agreeable with the products used. Everything was great. In stark contrast to my first impressions from months ago, the whole experience was very professional and enjoyable.
I am so glad the owner reached out to me and asked me to try it again. I could not have asked for a better experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend others to come too.

I also found this place through a living social deal–
but it expired before I could make an appointment.
So they let me use my credit to come in later,
but it was a bit of a disappointment.
We were a couple minutes late, and it finished early,
so instead of a full 60 minutes, I got 45.
But despite the shortened massage finishing before an hour,
I still had to pay for the full price!
They were flexible with scheduling and contact via email,
but my therapist wasn’t engaging and didn’t talk much.
My friend enjoyed her massage, and her therapist was great–
both of them had just the right touch!

My boyfriend and I went here for a couple’s massage this weekend (yay Living Social Deals!). When I first walked in I thought it looked kind of small and didn’t have really high expectations. Very glad I was wrong… this was seriously one of the BEST (if not the best) massages I’ve ever had. The women were professional, friendly and generated relaxing vibes. The woman working on me found places I was holding tension and knots in my body that I had no idea existed. By the end of the session, I felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated. I was also provided with stretching techniques, which I really appreciated. I’ve gone to a bunch of places before and no one has ever offered stretching techniques. We will definitely be back!
Alas, no place is perfect, so here are a few of the downsides: There is some background noise from surrounding businesses that can be heard above the music, there is only one chair in the waiting area which was a little awkward, and most importantly, couple’s massages here cost less than at the Art of Touch, which is also located in Newington (see my review for there as well).

My fiancé and I had a wonderful couple’s massage! The ladies were fabulous and really easy going. It was my fiancé’s first massage and he loved it. The next day he was still talking about it. It was very clean and relaxing and helped out after the massage with stretching techniques and also places that were really tight. We will be back!
