I’m from upstate New York and have been going to enough establishments for massage therapy to know if the place is worth the money. This establishment is phenomenal. From the moment I called for an appointment to the moment I walked out the door I was treated with kindness. They have done an excellent job of making the space inviting and welcoming. The massage was just what I needed to get relief from the chronic pain I’m experiencing. Highly recommend Sarah (sp?) as she was very knowledgeable and talented in her practice.
5/11/24 UPDATE: After leaving a negative review, following a bad experience I had the previous day, I was contacted by the owner herself. She listened to my concerns and was understanding and empathetic. She offered to personally give me a massage, and extended me a substantial discount. I took her up on the offer, and had one of the best massages of my life. She addressed all my concerns and gave me tremendous relief from the pain and knots I was experiencing. I am very impressed and thankful for the level of service I received the second time around, and how the owner was very professional and understanding to my needs. I am now leaving a five star review, but I wanted to leave my previous review below for reference. I will definitely be back and have Anna take care of me in the future.5/10/24“I just got done with my massage. While my therapist was nice, the massage was very disappointing. When I booked the appointment, I specifically told them that I wanted her to work mostly on my neck and upper back as I was having some knots and pain. I also shared that again with the massage therapist at the beginning of the session. I also reminded her multiple times throughout the session and she said she would get to it. In the end, she barely worked on it, and I ended up having no relief. The therapist was very talkative, and every time she would start talking, she would stop massaging. I can only assume that she was having an off day, as the company had mostly excellent reviews”
I was really needing a massage but was in town for a brief time and had not made arrangements ahead of time. I called Tranquil River “same day” recommendations number . They were able to accommodate me by calling in a therapist within the hour and at the end of the day! Anna gave an amazing massage exactly to my desire & need. I really appreciate & recommend their service. Thank you so much Anna!!
For many years I have had upper back muscle pain and chronic neck pain (ruptured disk in my neck). Still I am working at a desk job. Have seen many of the massage therapists in the area, and Anna is truly the best! This year started to get a massage once a month, and I have noticed that I have a lot less pain with getting body work done regularly! Ive had the foot massage and the infrared sauna too and have enjoyed those too. Looking forward to trying a facial soon.
My search for a great massage therapist is over! The atmosphere was very relaxing. I was able to get an appointment quickly and overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this spa!
I have visited twice now and Anna does a great job! She really helps my chronic pain. Highly recommend!
I’m writing this as I soak my feet for my second foot massage here. I can’t say enough great things about this spa! The team is so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is relaxing visually, audibly, and smells fantastic with aromatherapy. The massage therapist/owner is amazing at her craft and making you feel pampered. Highly recommend 🥰
First session with Anna. Had a bunch of stress related tension. Anna worked out the knots. She also provided lots of nice perks: lavender oil, warm blanket and neck roll and plenty of water. The studio is homey and comfortable. Made another appointment!
The ladies here are wonderful, The first massage I had was not what I expected but Anna fixed the issue and gave me a really nice discount for my 2nd massage. The 3rd massage....oh my I feel wonderful. Thank you guys for doing such a great job!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting this spa and indulging in a truly remarkable massage experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was enveloped in a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere that instantly put me at ease.The star of my visit was undoubtedly Anna, the incredibly talented massage therapist. Her magical touch seemed to work wonders on my body, effortlessly kneading away all of my tough spots and tension. She truly has a gift for understanding the body and intuitively finding the areas that needed the most attention.One of the highlights of my session was the Arnica & CBD body wrap. This unique treatment provided an extra layer of soothing attention to my tired muscles, leaving me feeling completely rejuvenated. The combination of arnica and CBD worked like a charm, melting away any lingering discomfort and promoting a sense of deep relaxation.Aside from the exceptional massage and body wrap, the attention to detail and added amenities truly enhanced my overall experience. Every aspect, from the ambient music to the soft lighting, was carefully designed to create a serene environment.The spas commitment to creating a blissful atmosphere did not go unnoticed. After such a fantastic experience, I can confidently say that I will be returning for more! This spa has truly mastered the art of providing a top-notch massage experience, and I cant wait to reap the benefits of their expert touch once again.If youre seeking a massage that goes beyond the ordinary, I highly recommend visiting this spa. Prepare to be transported to a world of relaxation and leave feeling like a brand new person. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!
Sarah is a FANTASTIC ARTIST 🎨 HER approach to your facial needs are truly artistic from the calming music to her soothing caring touch to give you and your face the best possible care the full facial rubbery mask was absolutely heaven it pulls out toxins to reveal a more glowing complexion I will most definitely RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE LOOKING TO PEEL THE YEARS STRESS OFF YOUR FACE THANK YOU SARAH enclosed are before photos and after the photo on the left is before the one on the right is right after treatment both are without makeup
I had a wonderful experience getting the Full Luxury Foot Bath! The staff was friendly and professional which made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The products used smelled so good and left my feet feeling happy and rejuvenated! I highly recommend this spa, and look forward to my next visit with them!
I got to be a tester for the Valentine’s Day special back facial. It was my first time having a back facial and I loved it! The treatment was relaxing and I felt so relaxed afterwards. There rose petals in the exfoliant and everything smelled so good. The best part for me was how careful Sarah was in making sure that I was comfortable and taken care of. Sarah went through every product she used to make sure that they didn’t include any nut oils I am allergic to. Because it’s a botanical line they use, I really appreciated her attention to detail in keeping me safe. She ended up using a different lotion, which I appreciated even more.
My friend and I came here as the first stop on our vacation and both received wonderful massages! Sarah was super kind and had wonderful techniques and the space was beautiful!
Sarah did a fabulous job working away all the stress of the holidays during my massage, specifically helping ease tightness in my hips with focus work. The facial was equally relaxing, and worked wonders on my dry skin. Sarah was great about checking in throughout my appointment in regards to pressure and my comfort level. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Ive been seeing Anna while she was at the other location, but this was my first appointment since she expanded. Unfortunately I didnt get to book with her, due to her new handsom little man, but I still had an amazing visit. I was with Sarah today, and booked a slightly longer appointment than Id had in the past. That gave her time to pay attention to all those tough spots that have been hard to get. She used new techniques and really got in there with a few spots. After working on the first side, she touched both sides and I could feel a major difference on how tight my back was. By time she was finished I could breathe so much better from lack of all that built up tension. I am so greatful for the wonderful work Sarah did today. I might have to start switching between the two ladies from now on. Being able to booking these appointments is always my favorite time. I always feel so much better afterwards.
I had an amazing experience with Sarah. She took such great care of me the whole day with all the different services! I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and impatient to return.
Our couples massage was a great experience! Will definitely be back next time we are in Astoria!
From booking the reservation with Susan, to having a thorough massage with Anna, the experience at Tranquility Spa was relaxing and wonderful!
I had a massage with Sarah. She was amazing. Best massage I’ve ever had! She used hot stones which felt so good. Definitely going back and recommending to family and friends!
Absolute best place for a massage in Astoria! Anna really is in tune to your needs whether it’s deep tissue, relaxation, cupping, or a foot spa, she does it all with expertise. I look forward to my regular appointments with her. Their online booking is so easy, they have lots of parking, and their refreshments before and after your treatments are such a nice touch. Seriously the best!!
Wonderful service, soothing ambience, and of course an excellent massage therapist. I had a massage from Isa last year and got to enjoy the benefit of her experience again here. I almost fell asleep on the massage table I was so relaxed😂 She really knows what she’s doing! Highly recommend the 75 min hot stone massage. I will be back!
Sarah had a good technique and firm touch for the deep tissue massage. Already re-booked.
Such an awesome massage by Anna. Highly recommend. If I lived in the area, I would be a regular client.
I met anna in the fall of 2021 - she called her business the positive touch - her new location and expanded services are top-notch - she gives the best massages and is always friendly and sweet...
I came in for a birthday spa experience. Received a massage with hot stones and a mud mask with Anna. She was phenomenal. She hit all my knots and found some I didnt even know about. The hot stones felt amazing to melt away my tense muscles. The mud mask was warm and included cucumbers on my eyes. I felt like a princess while the mask hardened and Anna massaged my legs and arms. The spa was expertly decorated with a river feel. The whole space was very peaceful. It was the icing on my birthday cake.

My friend and I were on a long girls weekend and wanted some pampering and relaxation. Man, did the ladies bring it they were so great! They accommodated exactly what we wanted. The facial was amazing, and so was the massage. I had no idea they hadnt been open too long, which is how good they were. 👏🏻 bravo ladies!!
They are very attentive and wonderful I love the way Sarah massages and Anna massages basically I like everyones massage there A
I’ve been a client of Anna’s and was so, so excited when I heard she was opening a spa. Not only is she my favorite massage therapist, but the spa and her staff are warm and welcoming, online booking makes scheduling super easy, and there is always parking nearby. I have enjoyed massages in the new spa and look forward to trying the foot baths, sauna and wraps in the near future!
Anna to the rescue!!! I hurt my back last night and she got me in and used heragic toake me able to move again!!! Now Ill be able to work this week ( I do hair) 😁I love it here! So peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed a cupping massage it was amazing! Clean and quiet ❤️ definitely would recommend to all♥️
I don’t recommend this establishment. I left a review in response to an invitation I received following a service and they removed it from their website the same day. Seems shady to me that they only keep the 5 star reviews on their website.Here’s my honest review of the service I received last week:I was in for a 75 minute massage with Sarah and was very disappointed with my experience.While she was very kind and professional, the massage I received was terrible and I left feeling unsure she had even been to massage school. Her movements were not fluid and I felt like she was using her fingers and knuckles in areas where she should have been using her palms or forearms - there was nothing relaxing about my experience. I had asked her to focus on my neck and shoulders and I left feeling like she barely touched them. I had also asked her if she could do anything about pain in my piriformis area. She did attempt some glute work but her technique was not very effective.Near the end, she asked if I would mind a scalp massage and I accepted. It was aggressive, like she was giving a dog head scratches, not soothing or relaxing at all. Then for the last few minutes, when she could have been spending time on my neck, she sat there holding my head in her hands not really doing anything.I was too upset to say anything while I was there. I went in expecting that I was hiring someone who knew what they were doing to provide a relaxing and therapeutic massage and that’s not what I received. I really needed to feel some relief in the areas I asked her to focus on and I left feeling more stressed than when I started.I did reach out directly to management and found out that Sarah is, in fact, new to the field. Their attempt at resolve was to offer a discount on a future service. I was also told how many glowing reviews they’ve received about her only to find out they delete anything less than 5 stars.I will not be returning.
Very friendly, and my massage is always amazing. I cant wait for my next appointment
Treated my wife to a pamper day here and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back. The staff are excellent and caring. I would give them six stars if possible. Thank you for treating my wife like the queen she is.
I can’t recommend Anna and her team highly enough. Their office is gorgeous and they do a great job of taking care of you. My massage was so relaxing. I am booking my next appointment right now. Thank you so much!
I love the atmosphere and staff members at this spa. All staff members are welcoming, friendly, and supportive of each clients needs. The atmosphere is definitely tranquil and I leave there feeling refreshed and relaxed. Keep up the great work, Team!
I just had the most amazing experience at Tranquil River Day Spa. Sarah gave me a wonderful, relaxing massage. She really listened to my concerns and was very conscientious about meeting all my needs.
Massage therapist seemed very experienced. Will be my go to when in Astoria
I finally took the time to treat myself to a massage with cupping! Anna is talented with her techniques. I already got my appointment set in the future to take care of myself.
Tranquil spa is the place to go, friendly, professional and Sarah gave me an awesome medical massage thanks i will be back!!!
Anna is gifted in massage. She found the spots in my body that needed attention--some I wasnt aware of myself! She applied good, deep pressure where I needed it.
I have had neck pain for years. The last two years it steadily got worse. I started physical thearapy a few months ago, and within a couple hours would be hurting again. One visit to Tranquil River and 1 1/2 hours later I felt great. Could turn my head with no pain, could drive with no pain, could move with no pain. Awesome people.
As a proud part of the incredible family at Tranquil River Day Spa, Im overjoyed to highlight our exceptional team. From our talented and skilled co- owner/LMT, Reiki master/LMT, and esthetician/LMT to the welcoming reception team which I am honored to ba a part of, our warm hospitality and attention to detail create an oasis of relaxation. Client satisfaction is undeniably our shared goal, making every visit a rejuvenating experience. Five stars well-deserved for our tight-knit team!
