This was the most amazing spa experience! Its not very far away but the location makes you feel like youre away. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful. The customer service is on point. Chloe, the person who administered my services was beyond amazing. Very gentle, yet very effective massage. My children bought me the works gift certificate and I definitely felt pampered! I definitely recommend this business.

I had a very relaxing massage with Paul. Just the right amount of pressure and focus on areas of tightness. My muscles feel much better, thank you! Great location and atmosphere. Good customer service, would recommend.

I tried a propolis acne facial and loved my experience. Melinda was so sweet and explained to me every product she used. She listened to my facial acne problems and taught me better ways to combat it from my own home. The whole experience in general was so calming, relaxing and fun! I felt soooo good after and will definitely be coming back.

Ive been to this spa twice. Each time Ive received superb treatment and walked away feeling completely rejuvenated ✨On my last visit I worked with Dorukan. He was totally professional and respectful. He tailored his service to fit my needs and made my visit Xtra special. I would absolutely visit him again. Just an overall relaxing and beautiful spa experience. I Love this place.

My mom and I went to Mon Sanctuaire for a massage as a birthday gift for my mom. It was the first time for both of us and we both walked away absolutely satisfied. My mom had back and hip surgery so I was skeptical if she would enjoy the massage but she left wanting to return for future massages. The staff were polite, attentive and very accommodating throughout the entire massage. I highly recommend Mon Sanctuaire and plan to return real soon.

Elizabeths service was truly exceptional. The full-body massage I experienced today was of the highest quality. I look forward to returning for another outstanding session in the future. Gratitude.

Dorukan is a skilled massage therapist, and is great with those who workout as frequently as I do, and need some extra TLC on those sort and tight muscles. He has a very kind personality and truly cares about helping his clients. I’ve been seeing him for years now and he is a miracle worker! Highly recommend.

I have been to spas all over the country for various services. Dorukan is undoubtedly the best massage therapist I’ve ever been serviced by. I will absolutely use this provider until I move out of the area. Thank you so much Dorukan!

Terrific facial today from Melinda!! She didn’t try to force products on me, and adapted the service for my unique skin needs. Everything was explained to me and I felt sincerely cared for and happy. The spa was very calming and comfortable, and my skin looks AMAZING! After leaving, I picked up a bottle of wine and got carded, and afterwards bought a mug at a local bookstore, receiving a “student discount,” without asking or claiming to be a student. I am 42-years old. :Dnext time I’m getting a massage, as well.Update: Had a combination massage from Catherine, and all I can say is WOW!It wasnt the traditional massage (in the sense that I selected a pressure of massage and she did the technique). Rather, she spoke to me first, did reflexology and identified my problem areas and worked techniques specific to me. I am pain- free and sleeping well!! She also treated me to a cherry blossom foot scrub for my birthday :) Cant say enough good things!

I havent had a lot of massages in my life. This was maybe the 5th or so, but Amanda was by far the best therapist Ive ever had. I had so much tension in my neck and shoulders and she worked it beyond any expectations I had. She also gave me feedback and a stretch to try which was super helpful. Will definitely be returning to her next month. Thank you so much.

Melinda gave me a massage which relieved my arthritic pain. I suggested to my mother (88 yrs old) to go see Melinda to see if she could relieve her pain. She had her massage 11 June, that same day she was able to walk up the steps with not pain and not out of breath, she was standing straight up and best of all she is smiling again. My mother had me schedule two more sessions.

Simply amazing. My entire experience at Mon Sanctuaire was excellent and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I was very satisfied with the massage and facial treatments. Thank you, Melinda, Dorukan and Tiffany. I hope to be back soon!

Easy to schedule appointments, welcoming when I arrived, excellent service (massage and facial), easy to check out and no hard sales on skincare products, just recommendations. It was a relaxing experience, which is what a spa trip should be. And my skin is glowing!

Came here for a birthday treat and Melinda and Tabitha were so amazing !!! They payed attention to my body and made me feel so relaxed. The body scrub, the body wrap and the facial were totally worth it. My skin looks and feels so soft and refreshed.I have been having knee pains and Melinda found out without me even saying it - we are scheduling a section just for that!All in all do yourself a favor and book here ❤️

I have severe lower back and neck pain problems. Nothing related to health, I just stress out easily. I found this business on google maps and decided to give it a try after a week-long neck pain that kept my head tilted to the right. I just picked a random person for the massage because I didnt know the business and sometimes it takes you a few tries before you find someone that really knows how to work with you. To my luck, I was assigned to Catherine. She was extremely professional and knew exactly what my problems were. Just by her soft voice, she was able to get me relaxed and forget about the day ahead. I got the combination massage with their new client special and left the place without any neck or back pain. In fact, that night I slept like I havent in a very long time. I am even considering the membership to go visit Catherine once a month. She is extraordinary! I havent felt this good in years, and I am a young healthy woman! Definitely coming back.

Melinda Naff does more than body work, she is a healer. I started seeing Melinda years ago for a wonderful hot stone massage and returned for many signature cranial sacral work that has completely changed my life. I moved and have searched everywhere for someone as good as Melinda. It does not exist - so I travel 45 minutes just to see her. Every appointment I come out feeling better than when I arrived. She is an expert of the somatic system, mind, body and soul. You will not regret a visit.

I spent 80 minutes in heaven this afternoon with Melinda at Mon Sanctuaire. Ive been suffering with painful flare ups from a pinched nerve , along with residual upper back pain from a recent muscle spasm. Melindas thoughtful approach, professional touch and her attention to how my body was reacting enabled me to relax and release substantial body tension and stiffness. I left there feeling wonderful! This was my first visit to Mon Sanctuaire, and it was the best massage I have ever had -- Im going back and I expect to become a regular customer!

Catherine was amaazing!! Going in for a massage at a new place can sometimes be scary and unknown. She made me feel so welcome from the minute I arrived and talked me through everything she was doing. After a life changing massage she was so helpful with next steps and even sealed the deal with a hug goodbye. Amazing healing touch and very private and intimate spa. Already scheduled my next appointment.

Melinda was great. I was in pain but I wasn’t sure what service I needed. By talking with me and examining my body she was able to identify my problem areas and come up with a plan to address them. I left the session feeling immeasurably better than when I arrived.

I discovered Mon Sanctuaire about 6 months ago and am so glad that I did. Ive received facials, massages and a reflexology treatment. Both Melinda and Jackie are amazing at what they do. I leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed. I recommend them highly. Treat yourself and make an appointment!

Review №25

I took my mother here for Mothers Day to get a Craniosacral Therapy massage and myself to get a coconut jasmine massage. I was excited because of the reviews, but I have to say I was disappointed. I enjoyed the massage by Catherine, however the Craniosacral Therapy massage with Melinda I signed my mother up for wasnt really a massage at all. It was more of a healer type touching for an hour that really should have been clearly articulated during the initial consultation, because then she would have asked for a regular massage. Despite the confusion, we enjoyed the experience otherwise.

I cannot say enough about my massage with Katherine today. I have chronic pain from breast cancer treatment and having a tumor removed from my chest. At some point in my massage I realized that I was completely pain free. Katherine was warm and kind and really in tune with my body. I could not schedule my next appointment fast enough.

Review №28

Not a foot massage, reflexology for me is a whole body treatment that addresses stress and energy flow. A session with Tiffany leaves me both relaxed and energized—she is a superb practitioner and a most welcome addition to the Mon Sanctuaire team.

I never knew a massage could feel like this. Ive had massages in the past (well, thought I had anyway) and there is no comparison to the techniques used by this studio. From the calming and peaceful atmosphere to the holistic approach provided by the massage therapist, Catherine, this experience left me elevated, and relaxed. I am already looking forward to my next session!

I came to Melinda severely disabled (unable to sit up, lie on my stomach or side) due to acute and chronic pain from disc injuries and surgeries. She took charge and performed reflexology and myofascial release. She is the only massage therapist who has been able to help me since 1987. Very accommodating in making sure I got the most treatment for the money I spent. She even helped with insurance paperwork.

I can not wait to go back! These lovely ladies are amazing! They truly made my experience the best from start to finish, and I have never been so relaxed! Please do yourself a favor, and book an appointment, like now! Theyre so welcoming, kind, professional, talented, and friendly...I could go on and on! Bottom line, you will no be disappointed!! I promise!

I was in severe pain (hip/leg/both knees) when I went to Melinda for Craniosacral work. I was limping, using a crutch and unable to manage my pain. I had had weeks of treatment from a Chiropractor. Seeing the severity of my pain and immobility, he told me to see an orthopedic specialist and to go to the ER if this pain level continued over the weekend.I called Melinda and she saw me the next day for a Craniosacral session.After her first extensive treatment, I felt easier and the swelling and pain was better. She said it would take a few days for everything to work out my body.The next day, I napped for 2 1/2 hours..... harder than I had in years. There was minimal pain. No meds needed.Next day, I went to visit my son for lunch. He noticed I wasn’t limping!!Came home and was exhausted and had another 2 /12 hour nap again!Right now, at 8:45 PM, nothing hurts…not my knees nor my hip or leg! I can walk upstairs and down without noticing any pain at all.Amazing….I can’t tell you!! I cancelled the orthopedic appt. because nothing hurts…..swelling and redness gone. Pain level is 0. I plan on going back soon for another hour treatment for insurance! No one should ever accept chronic/severe pain without trying Craniosacral work. It is works for other issues. Melinda can explain the benefits other than just pain management. But it has changed my life!Cant thank you enough.

This place has the sweetest most relaxing restful atmosphere. I especially enjoyed their professional manner and sincere interest in the health and welfare of the client. Facial products are the very best and relaxing massages make for a delightful day. Truly transformational! Thank you Mon Sanctuaire Day Spa!
