I went for a weekday massage special. While some elements of the treatment were relaxing, the sequence and rhythm felt off and awkward. A lot of the movements were repetitive and didn’t feel like they were accomplishing much. It would’ve been nice to see a bit more consideration, like re-arranging the sheet on my…

I never miss a chance to get a thai massage with an extra shoulder or leg add-on. Recently tried the red light therapy addition and it was a great way to end a massage.
I went for a weekday massage special. While some elements of the treatment were relaxing, the sequence and rhythm felt off and awkward. A lot of the movements were repetitive and didn’t feel like they were accomplishing much. It would’ve been nice to see a bit more consideration, like re-arranging the sheet on my body to make sure my legs were covered when I changed sides instead of trying to do it myself. I can’t say I experienced many therapeutic benefits from this massage. The space was nice.

This was one of the best massages I have ever had. The therapist was exceptionally skilled and intuitive, with the perfect balance of pressure, stretching, and focused attention. Every movement felt purposeful and tailored to what my body needed. The space was peaceful and clean, and the entire experience felt professional, restorative, and deeply relaxing. I left feeling noticeably better and cannot wait to return.

This was my very first massage and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. I had an hour long deep tissue massage with Noon who did an absolutely amazing job. She was so sweet, attentive, and professional. You can tell she has many years of experience and knows her stuff. I came in with very sore and tight muscles but left feeling so relaxed. Highly recommend!

I had a 90-minute deep tissue session with Danny and the level of relief I’ve felt since has been incredible. He released tension I’ve clearly been carrying for a very long Time, and I’m honestly still adjusting to how much better my body feels today.
I just wanted to take a moment to share how talented, intuitive, and wonderful he was throughout the session.
I’m truly looking forward to seeing him again in the future.

Drove 1 hour after getting an appointment on the phone. But when I got there, they told me I should have booked online and that the spot had been taken by someone else. I took a pm off to offer me a massage in the city so I am really disappointed.
Response from the owner · 5 months ago
Hello Chloe,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand your disappointment, especially after driving for an hour and taking time off for the appointment.
After reviewing the situation, we saw that you called at 2:03 PM asking about the Weekday Special. Our receptionist informed you that we had availability at 2:30 PM, but also explained that the Weekday Special is available through online booking only.
Then at 2:06 PM, our receptionist informed you that we had another spot available at 4:00 PM and kindly reminded you to complete the booking online.
Since the appointment was not booked or confirmed after the call, the 4:00 PM spot remained open and was later booked by another client at 3:12 PM. Unfortunately, appointments are confirmed on a first come, first served basis once the booking process is completed.
We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and inconvenience this caused. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve communication regarding our booking policies.
Best regards,
Bhuddha Raksa Team
