Today I had my first massage ever and it was amazing! My sister had purchased a package deal with Elements and had three massages to give away to friends and I was one of the lucky recipients. While it is true as some of the others have written on here that Elements does not have over the top amenities, I felt very comfortable here from the moment I walked in. They had lemon water sitting on the coffee table in the waiting room along with cookies. They also had a book with the bio's of all of the massage therapists which I thought was a very nice personalized touch.
I filled out some paperwork and within a few minutes my massage therapist, Teresa came to get me. She asked me a little bit about the different areas that were bothering me and made me feel comfortable and cared for. I was a little tense when she started my massage but I was able to relax after a few moments. She focused a lot of her time on my hips and feet which are my problem areas and she applied just the right amount of pressure. She also did an awesome job releasing the tension in my neck and shoulders. The room was very comfortable and if anything it was a little chilly which I didn't mind because I get hot easily and the coolness of the room felt good.
After my massage Teresa met me in the hallway and gave me some information on Epsom salts and aromatherapy which was really great. She also brought me a cold bottle of water. She did mention the massage package deal but only in passing and I did not at all feel pressured. I stopped at the desk to leave a tip and they did ask me if I wanted to re-book and I chose not to at this time but I still did not feel any pressure from the receptionist. Overall in comparison to other package deal type of places I did not feel the least bit of pressure from Elements. Just for this fact I will definitely be back. I think that this is how it should be. Keep the low pressure feeling in place and you will get many more re-books.
I will be back to see Teresa. I think I just found one of my new favorite escapes.
