| - My girlfriend has been going to a massage therapist in Scottsdale for a few years and suggested I give it a try. I have never had a massage in my life and I was very nervous, but I was willing to give it a shot. The price was right, and I had my first massage this past week. I was booked with Megan, the owner, for Wednesday after work.
The website was easy to use and looked very professional. The three therapists on there had brief bios that made sense to me. I was very surprised by other reviews who seem to not know the difference between Rene and Renee. HE even says in his bio that HE is a MAN. (To clarify this, perhaps a head shot of each employee with his or her bio be used.) I snagged the address and map from the website and found it quickly near the edge of Old Town Scottsdale near Olive Garden.
The business is small. If you expect some huge salon place, go elsewhere. Tranquil Massage is for the personal, small business touch so missing in today's consumer market. There is a similar business that shares some office space, but everyone was very nice and it was very calm.
I entered the front office where I was met by Megan who asked me to fill out a simple form detailing my health history (just the basics) and any meds I may be on. Then she led me into a smaller, clean room with a heated massage table, crisp, clean sheets and tranquil, quiet music playing. There were no outside sounds from other rooms or the road. Megan was very professional and went over the sheet with me before and explained, in detail, what would happen during my massage.
She stepped out before I disrobed and got into position on the table. She came back in after a few minutes and began working on my body in the manner she explained beforehand. The music played lightly, some instrumental and with vocals, I could not hear the street noise or anyone outside of the room, and Megan and I chatted through the hour I was on the table for my Swedish Massage. She was very personable and friendly.
Afterward, she explained that I needed to drink lots of water and that I should take a few minutes to relax before dressing. She excused herself at that point.
A few minutes later I went out to the lobby where she gave me a sealed bottle of cold water to drink. Another massage therapist, Rene, came through the door. I was introduced to him, and he seemed very nice, too. I confirmed my next appointment time and left.
I did read all of the other reviews on this page recently, and I was floored by some of the negativity. One person had written that she'd never been there, but she had the gall to leave a review. I think that's against Yelp's policy. That reviewer said she didn't like Megan's responses to reviews, so I read them closely. I saw a professional, small business owner directly addressing every single concern every reviewer had on Yelp. Yes, this is a small business. I think there are four employees. It's in a shared space, too. Yes, Rene is a man. It says that in several places on the webpage. The online appointment system clearly has the information including address (I love online email reminders!).
Tranquil Massage was wonderful, and I will be back in a few weeks for my next massage.
