| - I was looking to book a massage on short notice (1-2 days in advance) and I couldn't get in at my usual place. Naturally, I turned to Yelp to get a suggestion for a good alternative! Inner balance has really good reviews, is close to my house, and is less expensive than my usual place, so I was excited to try it out. I booked an Indian Head Massage and a 30 minute sauna.
The appointment started with the head massage. I was seated in a comfortable chair and the massage covered my shoulders, neck, head and face. It was so relaxing! The sauna was great too. It's a small single-person sauna inside the massage room, so you can feel comfortable sauna-ing (schvitzing??) in the nude.
Overall, the experience at Inner Balance was great and I'll definitely be going back. It's not the same experience as a spa with shower/sauna/steam/whirlpool facilities included in the change room, but the price is right and the massage is good quality. If anyone is looking for a spa without extra bells and whistles, give this place a try!
Things to know to make your visit even better:
- They have approx 10 stalls for free customer parking behind the building.
- Wear something comfortable (head massage is done fully clothed).
- Drink a lot of water before the sauna so that you don't get de-hydrated from all the sweating.
- Be prepared to stay 15 minutes after your appointment time to shower after the sauna. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
