Wife and I came here for a couples massage. The place was very welcoming with a nice relaxing environment. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Elaine and Debby for such a wonderful experience.

Touch above wellness puts concerted effort into recovery and resilience; Once broken, healing comes naturally is a mantra there! You'll get it, you'll hear, you'll feel it there - a touch above and beyond wellness. They see it as and "Art", but I believe in the science of their healing approach -a touch!

Worst customer service I have ever had. I bought my mother a gift certificate for a massage. I inserted my contact information so that I could be the contact person and book the appointment. I also added my mother's phone number since she was the recipient of the gift certificate. When I reached out to book the appointment I did not hear back from them. Come to find out they texted my mother and booked a date without her confirmation.
She ended up missing her appointment since she was not aware it was created. When I found this out it was so hard to get a hold of someone. I could only speak to someone via text message and the responses were so delayed. They told me that a refund or rebooking was not possible because it was considered a "no show". Then they told me they would get someone to contact me back, but I was never contacted. I'm sure the massages are great since I read reviews before purchasing. However, I would never know since they refused to let me rebook and kept my money.

I chose this location based on the positive reviews I read about Caitlin. After a recent appointment with her I can happily add to the mountain of praise. The location was cozy and clean with a soothing atmosphere. Caitlin specifically was very kind; she greeted me warmly as if we were long-time friends, made sure I was comfortable, and put up with my rambling during the session with easy grace. She made the entire experience fun and I intend to go back!
