Justin is hands down the best massage therapist in this town. I have fibromyalgia and need deep work. Justin is deliberate in taking care of me. He’s not just doing another massage. I can move and breathe again!

My daughter bought me a gift certificate and I chose Lacy because she was available on the day I wanted to schedule. LUCKY ME! Lacy was interested in my needs, thorough, and knowledgeable. I was so happy with her service, I booked a more intensive, site specific massage the following week (yesterday), and she worked on issues that were long past ignoring. I am so thankful that my daughter bought the gift certificate from Nirvana! The business is simple, the prices are great, and the service was 5-star PLUS. Thank you, Lacy.

Our couples' massage was awesome!! Colin and Turner were absolutely amazing. The spa was very thoughtfully designed to make you feel relaxed and taken care of.

I was coming to Gainesville for the football game from South Carolina for my best friends birthday, and I decided to treat her to a day at a spa before heading back. After doing some research, I ended up booking with Nirvana Day Spa for many reasons. They were the only spa that I found that had a perfect rating, and they are very inclusive, which I knew would mean a lot to my friend. Nirvana was also very accommodating, and easy to work with. My friend had never been to a spa before, and I could see a big difference from when she walked in and walked back out. She looked sooo relaxed, and raved about the services she recieved. She said from the professionalism to the experience, everything was top notch and she would love to do it again. If you are traveling from out of state or live in Gainesville and need some relaxation, treat yourself or your friends, and definitely book with them. Money well spent.
