Gardenwalk Massage Therapy

I just got home from a prenatal massage with Katie Young and let me tell you… IT.WAS.AMAZING! This was my 1^st prenatal massage at Gardenwalk and 4^th overall during my pregnancy (I’m 33 weeks) and was hands-​down the best one I have yet to receive. Katie alleviated so much tension in my lower back and applied the perfect amount of pressure throughout. She had me lay on my left side to start with a leg up on a body pillow, which was very comfortable, especially in the heated bed. Then I turned onto my back for the remaining time, where she concentrated on my head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet.
I did not want it to end and will absolutely be making another appointment with her before the end of my pregnancy.
Moral of the story… if you are pregnant and want a high-​quality prenatal massage, book with Katie. You will leave there feeling so relaxed and eager to return. I haven’t had any other type of massage with her so I can’t attest to them, but looking forward to going back post-​natal as well.

We have been here a handful of times. It is by appointment only and you are usually the only person in the place. My massages have been good.
Decent massage overall from Katie. Nice that it is in the neighborhood but recently my husband had an apt and the masseuse never showed up! I find that un acceptable.
So even though we could walk here I would rather drive so be sure that I won’t be stood up.

So, I’ve finally (and happily) received massage therapy from Gardenwalk! Actually, 2 times but who’s counting? After reading the great reviews and yes, reading about their unique approach (which reminded me of another favourite spa I go to) I couldn’t resist!
I’ve been seeing Katie and she’s been wonderful! Nice, professional, kind, and caring. I love that she takes the time to answer my questions and listen to my concerns! Actually, let it be known that all of the folks I’ve met here have been great!
Anyway, at Gardenwalk, the prices are very reasonable and both of my experiences have been healing. The best part about it is that each massage is tailored to suit what your needs are. This is what counts! It makes the experience so much more effective and meaningful.
I live about 20 miles away from Lafayette Square and it’s always worth the trip!

Dennis and Julie took care of my friend and me today with the most amazing 80 minute massages. Dennis worked out all the kinks and left me in a state of massage bliss for the rest of the day. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Excellent spot. Lisa fit in last moment. I had Katie for a 90 min deep tissue massage. She is a wonderful therapist. The shop is very clean, the staff is very friendly and professional.

Got me in 2 hours after I called and Dennis did an outstanding job. How can you do any better?
Another gem two blocks from home. Lafayette Square rocks.

i agree with «Sarah H.,» that this place is amazing! my hubby had purchased a gift certificate for me to Gardenwalk earlier this year and last week was the first time i had the chance to use it. when i called to make an appointment, the lady asked what kind of massage was i looking for and sensed i needed a more holistic massage and i told her why. she was so accommodating and recommended TrisH.
i loved my holistic massage session with TrisH and she made me feel quite comfortable from the start. the room was prepared and calming, so i felt at peace as TrisH worked her soothing magic for my aching back and stressed out shoulders. the LMTs (yes, they’re licensed) talk with you before and after your massage to make sure they know exactly how they can help you and not just read stuff off the information sheet you filled out in the beginning. and when they a 60-​minute session, it truly is a 60-​minute hands-​on session (not including the before and after info session or getting dressed time).
when you call, make sure you leave a message with your name and number and they’ll get back to you relatively quickly to schedule a session (it is appointment only). there’s lots of street parking and easily accessible from main roads.

This place is by appointment only. You can call and make an appointment with the owner who will set you up with one of the massage therapists or if you already know which therapist you want an appointment with you can call them directly.
The price for a Swedish massage is really reasonable. $ 65/​hour. Lisa is my therapist and is amazing. She’s really accommodating for scheduling sort of last minute. I once called on a Friday hoping to get an appointment sometime that weekend and she was able to do it. Not always though. Once she wasn’t available a weekend I called and instead she set me up with another masseuse for the same time.
It definitely has a relaxed atmosphere though. It’s an old office building in Lafayette Square that they’ve converted to a massage studio. All in all it’s a great find for a relaxing massage.
