Bodhi Work Massage Therapy Studio

Kate is an amazing massage therapist! She took the time at the beginning of the session to understand my history and where my problem areas were. She is skillful, kind, and always checking to make sure the amount of pressure was acceptable. She really worked some problem areas and altered the original plan in order to spend extra time making sure the biggest issues were dealt with. Definitely going back again and again!

I had an outstanding massage experience at Bodhi Works. The therapist, Kate, demonstrated exceptional skill by taking the time to understand my body’s specific needs and applying excellent techniques that provided both relaxation and relief. The studios ambiance is cozy and inviting, creating a peaceful environment for a therapeutic experience. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Bodhi Work is a loving and welcoming space that I wish existed when I lived closer to Ann Arbor! I have had the pleasure of receiving bodywork from a majority of their massage therapists who are both well curated and cultivated by the proprietor Samantha. It is very apparent that she is very skilled and talented in her craft! As someone who has had many Thai massages, I would highly recommend her and Bodhi.

Top notch Thai massage! I am now a customer for life. The space is chill, I really liked it. Samantha is a warm presence and I felt very comfortable and relaxed, safe in her hands. Just great!!

BW is a lovely, welcoming space and we’re really lucky to have it in such a convenient location with such wonderful therapists. Kate is great. I love the way she integrates moving arms and shoulders during a table massage. She is a very intuitive body worker and quickly finds areas that need more attention.

Im so happy to have found this amazing studio. Samantha and her staff, especially Krystal are the best Thai massage therapists Ive seen. I have received combination relaxation and Thai massage from both and they are always sure to listen to my specific needs and adjust accordingly. I always leave my sessions feeling more grounded, relaxed, and cared for. I highly recommend them.

Ive been going to Samantha for oncology massage while undergoing chemotherapy, and her expertise is apparent. I emerge feeling so much better. The space is very inviting and soothing. Weve also seen Jodi, who has been excellent. Highly recommend!

I had a really good experience. The location is convenient, the studio is clean. Jodi was amazing - a relaxing presence, asked me all the right questions to ensure I had the best experience, I was offered water and mints (helped me with my coffee breath anxiety lol). The massage itself was definitely relaxing and she focused on my problem areas and it was so so nice. I felt all lose and limber afterwards, which is exactly what you want from a relaxing massage. Do recommend!

Kimari is the best! He consistently works out the sore areas of my back and arms. I do a lot of weight training and sometimes have leg cramps and spasms. He does amazing deep tissue and my mind and body feel rejuvenated after I see him.

Highly satisfied with my therapeutic massage. Crystal delivered EXACTLY what I asked for. She utilized deep tissue and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques very effectively! She spent her time working on me efficiently and diligently, resolving several localized and painful adhesions (knots of myofascial tissue). I will definitely be returning, and wholeheartedly recommend Crystal as a therapist.

This was my first experience with Bohdi Massage studio and it will not be my last! Jodi was amazing. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and knew just the right amount of pressue to use during my deep tissue massage. She was able to work out the kinks and tension in both my shoulders and hip areas. The environment was relaxing and I greatly appreciated the space was not heavily fragranced and they had lotions/oils avaialble that were fragrance free.

I had an amazing massage experience with Kimari! My body feels so much better and overall felt very comfortable in the space. I will be back and definitely recommend to anyone.

My Thai Bodhiwork session with Jodi was divine. Exactly what I needed. I just got back from Thailand and was missing Thai massage. So happy that I tried this place. Will definitely be back!

Samantha is a blessing. I have arthritis and hip and back issues. She has helped me with these problems. She is compassionate. My daughter recommended her and I’m grateful. I feel progress with each session.

Carson was wonderful and would highly recommend! She really listened to my concerns and incorporated myofascial massage into my session. Thank you for the wonderful session. I look forward to returning soon!

I had one of the best deep tissue massages of my life with Samantha. She was so sweet and was able to find and work on all my trouble spots. The space is really cozy, and she incorporated things like a weighted blanket and heated towels to make the experience truly relaxing and therapeutic. I walked out of there feeling reborn, and I can’t wait to go back again.

I’ve been looking for a good massage in the area for a while, this is it. A friend referred me to Bodhi for Thai massage, but I went for a traditional deep tissue. Especially grateful to Kimari for the curative work he did. I’ll be making routine visits for sure.

Samantha is such a warm, welcoming and nurturing massage therapist! Her energy and work speak for themselves. I received a combo of Thai bodywork and traditional massage and my body sure needed all the love and TLC Samantha gave it. I left feeling so much lighter and my muscles were so much less tense than when I first walked in. Samantha’s space is so beautiful and serene and the perfect compliment to her professional skill set.

My first Thai massage with Samantha was a wonderful experience. Just what my body needed. Her expertise is amazing.

I recently had a Thai massage with Krystal, and it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend her for anyone that needs great Thai massage in/near Ann Arbor.

My manual lymphatic drainage massage given by Samantha was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was serene and the session was alternately energy inducing and relaxing at the same time. 🤍🙂✨

Bodhi Work is a beautiful and serene studio. Samantha provides a peaceful and safe space to receive body work that is healing both physically and energetically. Its the perfect blend of deep tissue therapeutic massage and still spiritually instinctive. I came to Bodhi with hopes of easing my sciatica and lower back pain and both have decreased about 80% in about 3 months of regular visits focusing on those particular issues.It was such a great experience that I gifted my mother, that has chronic hip and back pain, a session and she is also now a regular client. I could go on forever about the relief and healing SNO has provided. I also highly recommend LDM, as it is extremely effective and very relaxing. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate Samantha and Bodhi Work and am so grateful to have found the studio.

Had a really amazing massage from Kimari. One of the most effective massages I’ve received for pain relief, he got all my knots out. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Jodi and Samantha, both are so caring and knowledgeable. Thai massage is my new favorite. You will feel amazing when you leave there.

I had Kimari for a deep sport massage, and got a lot of relief for my neck and back from regular tension. He also helped by giving me some tips on stretches to do for areas of pain and was very friendly. Would recommend for anyone who needs stress/tension relief from work or exercise!

Ive had a couple of massages with CJ and really enjoyed his attentiveness and expertise. He mixed deep tissue and Thai massage with cupping during sessions to target and work on my problem areas over time. Im a big guy but hes able to work through the muscle very well, which isnt always the case where you go! Very nice and calming energy during sessions too. I

Bodhi Work, unassumingly located above Ben and Jerry’s on busy State Street, is a quiet, clean, homey space with lots of plants and Buddha vibes. Kimari warmly greeted me as I came up the stairs. He mindfully checked in with me as the massage proceeded to make sure the pressure was to my liking and did extra work on a few trouble spots. He also gave me the most amazing neck massage, the best I’ve had in my life. High praise considering I have been getting massages regularly for the last 30 years. So much gratitude for Kimari!

The Bodhi Work Massage Therapy Studio is beautiful and conveniently located. My massage with CJ was absolutely perfect. He had the room set up with a relaxing ambiance (music, lighting) as well as a wonderful aroma. CJ has a very healing touch. As a marathon runner, I was also thankful for the knowledge he shared with me about how to maximize recovery after workouts with self-massage and other healing practices. Highly recommend booking your next massage with CJ!

I had an amazing massage from CJ!! He helped me work through a shoulder issue by combining Thai massage and deep tissue. My whole body feels so much looser and relaxed. CJ is so knowledgeable and cares so much about his clients. He is kind and compassionate about helping people and I feel so grateful for him! Thank you CJ!

The short version: I have had Thai massage in Thailand. Samantha is amazing and exceed my expectation in every way. I highly recommend her.The long version: I moved to Ann Arbor for 17 years ago from Thailand. Over the years Ive hopped around various facilities/massage therapists but never quite find the right one I want to continue working until I met Samantha this year (2022).Shes intuitive and understand body. Her technique is exceptional and the pressure is just right. Every visit we talk about an area to work on and she actually works on them (unlike my past experience). It is expected to feel sore or mushy after the massage, but my body feel much better the next day. I echo what other reviewers are saying about her positive energy and nice clean cozy space. I definitely will be seeing her regularly. So should you.

Not only was the 90 minute massage a literal slice of heaven, Samantha is also an incredible human being who did a wonderful job making the experience comfortable and personally fitted to me. She does an excellent job of communicating during the massage to make sure that I am receiving attention in the most needed areas and the best amount of pressure for my comfort level. She’s very kind, knowledgeable, calming, and has a beautiful space that made me feel very relaxed and safe. I’m excited for my next session with her!

I have chronic neck and shoulder tension that other massage therapists have struggled to help me with. Samantha did a GREAT job, better than anyone else has! Three days later and I still feel great. Beautiful and welcoming space, I’ll definitely be going back regularly!

Samantha is a top notch bodyworker. Ive seen her for both deep tissue full body massage and thai massage - and I always leave my session feeling deeply relaxed and cared for. I highly recommend Bodhi Work for anyone looking to receive high quality expert bodywork - a definite must for your self-care!

Bodhi Work is an adorable studio in downtown Ann Arbor. Highly recommend booking with Jodi or Kimari. They are both talented LMTS. The location is great and is near all of the great restaurants and attractions in Ann Arbor. Students are lucky to have this so close by.

I had one of the best massages Ive ever received from Krystal at Bodhi Work. Highly recommend!

Samanthas skill and knowledge continues to grow. She is a continuous learner who makes sure to find better ways to help her clients aches and pains. She provides a relaxing atmosphere. After a Thai Massage, my body is more flexible. When she incorporates a facial and scalp massage, it is so relaxing. Recommended for everyone to experience.

The studio is beautifully set up and cared for, including healthy plants, thoughtful arrangement of implements, and clean and clear spaces. So, I could tell when I walked in that I was going to have an experience calling me home. I came to Michigan with a traveling show, so I only had one week to get the type of care my body needed. Samanthas reviews online already looked promising, and I reached out to her for services. Everything aligned for the blessing of receiving her offering. I was truly struck by the warm energy emanating from her touch and her skill level far exceeds her years in practice. She was made for this.For a traveling artist, this massage put Ann Arbor on the map as a place I should return to for top-notch body work. Samantha gave me the Thai and table massage combo. I have a great massage therapist at home, but I hope to return soon to see her again.

Samantha was attentive, thorough, and overall lovely. Beyond my massage session, she also gave me wellness exercises that I will work into my everyday practice. Her studio is also centrally located, and couldnt be more convenient. I so enjoyed my one-hour session and I left feeling very happy. I would highly recommend Bodhi Work to anyone.

Samantha was really great. Her space is very welcoming and relaxing. She took time at the beginning to understand my issues and goals for the massage. I just did a 30 min head and neck massage and it was so great. Highly recommend!

Great experience, if you’re looking for something a little different than traditional massage it’s a great time. I loved the inclusion of stretching.

Samantha (Bodhi Work owner) is a skilled, versatile, hard-working, creative, professional, and compassionate massage therapist/body worker. Ive been dealing with chronic back, hip, and knee pain for 3+ years now that really benefited from traditional physical therapy but has now felt stuck for many months. After trying a few other massage therapists, whom I dumped after a couple sessions with Samantha, Ive been working with her frequently for almost 2 months to loosen the fascia and restore function to all the muscles involved, and my condition has improved by about 60-70% so far. My situation just happens to require a lot of attention over a long period of time, and your needs may be different, but I vouch for the high quality of Samanthas care. Also, the environment is super comfortable and peaceful and you will feel mentally clear and balanced after, as well as physically relaxed! And, if youve never tried thai massage before, you simply have to!

I never want to get another massage from anyone else! The Thai Massage with Samantha was the best massage I have EVER had. Samantha is such a wonderful space holder and her massages are divine. I highly recommend working with Samantha and incorporating her practices into your healing toolbox!

Have had many massages before but never had someone be so attentive to what’s going on with my body. Samantha made the experience very comfortable, made the experience seem like a yoga class. She knew areas of my body that where tight just by looking at how I move, and she helped open my shoulders and hamstrings up. I will definitely be back and highly recommended anyone to have Samantha work on your body, also go for 90 mins to 2 hours.

CJ was very knowledgeable with his techniques, application of skills to my particular areas of concern, and recommendations of post-therapy treatments. It was the first massage that used a variety of techniques for my pain relief and it actually worked. I have experienced tightness, pain, knots for muscles that are relentless for years and I finally feel like have started to breakdown after one session. I highly recommend CJ & the bodhi-work studio for anyone who needs a therapeutic massage.

I cannot recommend Samantha at Bodhi Work enough! I recently visited her adorable studio for a Thai Massage. Im a very active gal, so I often struggle with tight muscle areas. This massage was exactly what I needed. She has such a calming demeanor and allows you to truly feel at ease. I walked away from the session feeling more relaxed, and my body felt less tense and less stressed. Ill absolutely return for more thai sessions.

I highly recommend you book Bodhi Work. Samantha has a friendly, calming presence. I felt at ease upon entering her suite. She made sure I was comfortable. The environment is amazing. You can tell she loves what she does. I love the fact that she had notes and recommendations on the certain areas where she felt my tension. I feel so relaxed and I’m a positive happy mood.

I had a great experience last week with CJ, I’ve only had 3 massages in my life, he was the third individual I thought I’d try and he made my body feel rejuvenated afterwards, I’m definitely going back to him as a regular.

Samantha is extremely talented and practices the utmost integrity in her business dealings. Her passion for providing a safe environment to relax in can be felt whether you are receiving massage, hanging upside down in her aerial yoga class, or training alongside her. I cannot wait for my next massage and hope to attend a training being hosted at Bodhi Work this summer.

Absolutely wonderful. Found every spot that was sore and tense that I noted and many more I had no idea was there. Location is SUPER convenient if you work or live near campus. I had to reschedule and she was super sweet about it, plus the online system is very easy to use. Such an awesome resource to have near campus.

Samantha is amazing! Ive seen other massage therapists in New York and California and Samantha is by far the best. She genuinely cares for her clients - I cant recommend her enough.

This was hands-down the best massage I’ve ever had! I booked a 90-minute massage and was suffering from severe muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. Samantha worked on my problem areas and was able to release tension in spots I didn’t even know existed. She is a wonderful communicator and has a lovely, comfortable studio with a skylight. Using a variety of techniques, including cupping and aromatherapy, Samatha went above and beyond to address all of my needs. I highly recommend that you book a service ASAP.

First time to this massage studio and it is so lovely. Samantha is great at communicating with you clearly so that you understand everything. I had a sore neck from a pinched nerve and the massage felt wonderful, she touched on all the areas that were bothering me.

Samantha was so attentive and thorough! She has an intuitive sense of the human body and provides such a lovely, calming atmosphere. I have been carrying so much tension in my body for over a year and one session brought me so much relief. Even afterwards I was able to continue to remain relaxed with Samantha’s gentle reminders echoing in my head. I can’t wait until my next session!

Professional, prompt, and caring -- the team at Bodhi provides an excellent service at a great value. Keep up the hard work!

I had a wonderful deep tissue massage that focused on the problem areas I highlighted. I’ll definitely go back.

Samatha is the best massage therapist I have ever been to!!! I couldnt recommend Bodhi Work more highly. It is apparent that Samatha has a vast background of knowledge and experience to pull from. She employs a multitude of techniques in every session, creating a sense of deep relaxation and catharsis. I discovered Bodhi Work during a challenging transition in my life, and the first few sessions brought me to tears (my nervous system shifted so profoundly). Samatha has a true gift and I have been back regularly ever since!

One of the most healing massages I’ve ever experienced. Samantha is a skilled practitioner, and knew exactly how to deal with the TMJ pain and my extreme neck and shoulder tightness. I left feeling like a million bucks.

Samantha made a point of finding out which parts of my body were experiencing the most tension and fatigue. Her massage is both gentle and strong. I expereinced a tremendous release of both physical and emotional tension and just felt so much more at ease when I left.

I took massages from Krystal and she is very knowledgeable. Relaxing, clean place!

Best Thai massage I’ve gotten in a time of dire need. So relaxing.

Samantha is knowledgable and committed. Her work is focused and she has the ability to go deep. Ive received a couple of Thai massages from her and she really knows her stuff! She uses a variety of add ons, from bolsters to Ayurvedic creams to supplement the hands on work.

I had a wonderful Thai massage with Kimari today!

Had a traditional swedish relaxation massage session here. Never had one before to compare it to but I feel much better afterwards. Samantha has a great attitude and is both professional and respectful. I plan to be a repeat customer.

Ive received over a dozen sessions from Samantha and each one has been unique according to how Im feeling each time. She listens carefully and thoughtfully works on correcting any muscle issues I may be having. Truly a gem of a person and body fixer!

I am currently 6 month pregnant and wanted a massage that could alleviate my lower back pain and thats EXACTLY what Samantha provided. She created space for me to really relax and breathe through the positions and deep muscle work which I so appreciated. The day after the massage I felt like I was FLOATING. Highly suggest!

It was my first massage in my life and I completely sure that I will do again.

Samantha is amazing! She asks questions and truly wants to know what she can do to make your session productive and relaxing. My body comes in full of tension and stress, and when I leave Im in an entirely different state, relaxed and ready for whatever may come.

What an amazing experience. I love getting a massage with samantha monthly. Its also a great location. Very Grateful for this place being in Ann Arbor

If you want to treat yourself with some high quality stress relief time, you need to come to Bodhi Work. Samantha does amazing massage in an airy, beautiful space. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about Bodhi Work! Samantha is a talented and responsive massage therapist who is passionate about her craft. Please check her out!

Jodi was fantastic! Fixed my neck pain, and was very kind and competent

Samantha massages with intention and care. When you are with her she creates a warm and positive environment where you feel safe. I highly recommend Bodhi Work.

Jodi was amazing! Loved my deep tissue massage

Samantha was wonderful!, The studio atmosphere is very chill. my first time but not my last! Highly recommend Thai massage adn Bohdi work studio

The staff is amazing. You instantly feel relaxed when you walk into the space. Defiantly worth investing your money into - this place provides top notch service.

I am a little bias on this review as Samantha is my niece. My experience with my first massage every was fantastic. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone.

Fantastic experience! Samantha is very professional, listened to what I was looking for out of a massage, and did a great job. I will be back.

Highly recommend this place. Jodi was great - thorough, kind, and respectful.

I had several sessions with Samantha and all of them were unique! She has beautiful soul and magical hands. She is a magician!

What an incredible experience! Samantha is intuitive and compassionate, and I walked away feeling greatly care for. Can’t wait to return!

Samantha relieved me of so much pain and tension I was able to get back to my regular routine almost immediately. Lovely space and atmosphere too. 🙏❤️

Sam is the best!! Will never have a massage from anyone else. She is so kind and makes me so comfortable. Go to her! You won’t regret it!!

By far the best therapist i have had the pleasure to work with. As a runner she has helped with many injuries keeping me on the trails! additionally, an incredibly kind person. thanks so much for everything.

Not impressed with the zero tolerance policy or lack of rescheduling with new clients. Understood with returning clients. “Donation” language is odd and confusing. Won’t try this again.

Samantha was AMAZING!!!! She makes you feel so comfortable and welcome, SUPER great experience:)

I am so grateful to have been pointed in the direction of Samantha. She is a phenomenal massage therapist!

My first time having a true Thai Massage and it was amazing to be stretched like that. Relaxing and rejuvenating ... I cant wait to return!

All around great experience. So accommodating and helpful while scheduling. Wonderful location. And the massage was hands down just fab! Def will be back!

Samantha was very nice and gentle. My pains felt better after and I would definitely return

The best massage Ive had ever. Highly recommend. I felt like I was so relaxed and floating in the clouds!

Definitely going back! Felt amazing after just a single session. Well skilled, trained, compassionate, and mindful.

Great massage! I really loved the setting and my service was so therapeutic. I will be going back.

This was my first time visiting, and I will absolutely be returning regularly! Fabulous massage and personal attention, fabulous studio and location!

Best massage Ive had in Ann Arbor! Samantha is amazing!

Expert skills. Worked out all my knots and stiff neck. Word certainly return.

Five stars are simply too few. She is definitely above five stars.

Very good experience! The massage is professional!

Absolutely delightful, beginning to end. Book!!

Knowledgeable and so calming!
