Super disappointed in the company - messaged and got an appointment mid day on a Tuesday for an evening appt. - I got a text an hour before my appointment that Ms. Steele was running a 1/2 hour behind - before I could respond to that text I then got a text that her son unexpectedly needs to be picked up. So she is canceling the appointment. Ok I can manage that. Family first.I rescheduled for the next day “asking specifically for a good time that she would be available” and she said that 12p would work for her. I scheduled for the next day at 12p. I received a detailed text from her with specific instructions and I followed the directions (which among a few other things asks you not to knock on the office door just text) I did so at 12p on the nose - then at 12:15 I get a text “awesome!!” A couple min later I get a call from Ms Steele - “ I got out of my other job late and can you wait another 15 min for me to arrive?” That would make her over 35 min late to my appointment. But at this point it is not possible to trust her time mgt in my view. I could not give her another 35 min of my time. I have appointments that I am NOT going to be late for due to her. So I canceled the appointment.I HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT WASTE your time - I have lost over two hours of my personal time within less than 16 hours due to Ms. Steele. I texted her and said l “please remove me from your contact list” - her response was “No worries. I try to fit everyone in. But life happens. Good luck.” She did not meet her commitment - wasted my time and I still do not have the massage I wanted.“Life happens” - I would Love to able to say that to my clients!
I found Cholena on Google after searching for a message therapist that wasn’t some cookie cutter therapist. After reading the reviews I had to try her. And boy was it amazing. She was so in tune with my body. I weight lift and play hockey so I am extremely tight and larger. She knew exactly what she was doing. She followed energy in my body as it flowed to the spots issues were stemming from and worked on them. I scheduled a 90 minute massage but she worked on my for almost 2 hours. She wanted to make sure I was in a state to leave and not just be done cause time ran out. She explained everything she was doing and was very easy to talk to. I definitely plan on seeing her again, not only for deep tissue therapeutic like I did but for more relaxing style massage as well. Thank you again Cholena.
I have been seeing Cholena for the past six years for a bad back and does her aches and pains. Shes the best I live in Utah and come up to Boise once a month for at least two visits. Shes always been able to work around my schedule and work me in even if it means working Sundays or off hours. And I highly recommend her to all my friends and family.
I’ve been going to Cholena for almost 2 years now, and each time she does a fantastic job working through knots and tight muscles. These massages aren’t very relaxing in the moment because she gets deep into the fascia to release the tension at the source. I usually feel a bit sore afterwards, but my muscles are noticeable more relaxed for a few days.
I Highly recommend this place! I walked in, feeling like the hunchbacks half brother, and walked out feeling like a brand new man! Very professional and relaxing environment. Very affordable pricing and well worth every penny. Easily the best place to get body work done in Idaho.
I had a recent appointment with Ms. Steele, I advised of muscle tension due to my job. After a single session, my muscles were the most relaxed they had been in years. Her professionalism, clean environment and knowledge in her field have made me a repeat customer.
I’ve seen Cholena probably ten times. Always a top notch massage. I see another reviewer was unsatisfied. I understand. However their experience, in my experience, is an abbreviation. Cholena has a strong customer service ethic.
My wife and I have both gone here. After being stuck at a desk 40+ hours a week sometimes I have issues with my neck and shoulder. Cholena is great at getting those knots out so I can enjoy life.
Wow. Thank you so much. Cholena I did t think i would ever feel good again after my car accident many chiropractor appoinments and always hurt the next day. After my first session my back was nearly pain free I didnt have to lay flat on the floor at lunch time. then after my second I havent felt that pain in months. Sorry for my late review but your the best. Wish I wouldve known how good you were wouldve saved me lots of painful days. Thank u
I Love Cholena!! Her body work is amazing! She is in tune with what you need! Always on time and great at communication!
I had a great experience and an amazing bodywork session. I highly recommend Cholena. She is pleasant and has a very warm and accepting demeanor.
The best massage hands down in the valley. It was my first visit here, and I was kinda skeptical but was I blown away. She is amazing, the real Lomi, Lomi in town here. I guarantee you will be walking out of there feeling good. I have been many different massage places in the Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell areas not one come close to here. I thank God I found Solana at Movement Massage. Thank you, and I appreciated you and your honesty. I will be Back
I highly recommend movement massage she knows what’s she’s doing and is very professional at what she does thank you I will definitely keep going.
Cholena is absolutely amazing! She worked on me for 120 minutes and it seemed as if she entered into a trance state and her energy and movement never faltered…she did such a great Lomi Lomi massage that I felt like I was floating as I left the studio/office! She is definitely passionate about what she does…highly recommended her for anyone wanting a great professional massage!
I am thankful for finding this therapist at the clinic. Her ability to communicate stretches and things I should do post massage was always helpful!!
Was amazing as always. My back feels great. Im able to get up and go to work . Thank you so much. I will see you soon.
The best massage therapist in boise!!! Friendly knowledgeable and always smiling. Visit her ,youll be glad you did! Thanks Cholena ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m so amazed at how quickly my whole body and soul helped after a great massage with you!! You are amazing!!! No one can do therapeutic massage like you!!!
Cholena is amazing!!! With all my back and neck issues it’s been hard to find a massage therapist to really help relieve my pain. Cholena’s has done wonders with her holistic and therapeutic massages!!
I love the service I received! Professional and attentive to my needs. Looking forward to my next massage.
I’ve been going to see Cholena for several months and have been consistently astonished at the results. I have been recovering from a spinal cord injury and she has changed her massages to meet my needs. Cholena is very in tune with me. She puts me at ease, sometimes we talk and sometimes we don’t. She is intuitive and understands my needs. Her holistic approach is both relaxing and therapeutic. The environment is comfortable, clean and super relaxing. She also noted that I needed chiropractic care because of my injury… I was skeptical… but after I see Cholena, I often see Dr. Knowles and the two services together has me on the road to recovery much faster than the PT that was my only program for the past two years. I’m truly grateful to Cholena for having my best interests in mind. She is amazing and I always look forward to our sessions. She gets ALL the stars from me.
Amazing therapeutic massage! I have had several different massage therapists and thankfully came to see Cholena! Cholena not only provided a 5 star massage but she gave my body an opportunity to have a physical, emotional, and toxin release like I’ve never experienced before! She was able to assess my body and address years of built up physical and emotional stress. She addressed my body like a professional and provided a safe place for me to accept needed healing! If your not getting what you need come see Cholena! Thank you and I’m going to be a regular!
Met Cholena a few years back when she bought a keyboard from me off of FB marketplace.. stumbled upon her card and gave her a call. I wish I had called sooner! Such an empathetic, intelligent and highly skilled therapist. I’ve been living with pain for quite awhile and have been searching various avenues of treatment. I have never in all my years felt such a significant difference in myself after a 90 minute session. If you are searching, look no further. She is the real deal!
This was the most relaxed I had felt after a massage in my life!
Great deep tissue massage, Cholena is very knowledgeable about the body and cares deeply about helping her patients. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a 5 star massage.
Cholena Steele has been amazing and life changer for my body with her amazing massages. I have suffered from body pain since a childhood injury and this has been the biggest change in achieving any time pain free in years.
Cholena is an excellent masseuse that is in tune with what your body needs to relax and promote healing. I appreciate her knowledge of the areas that need attention to aid in my health and movements of my joints and muscles.
Cholena is an amazing masseuse!! Her knowledge and experience has helped me recover from a major surgery tremendously! Love her vibe!
Wow. I’ve seen lots of massage therapists but the was unique. Halfway through I was wishing I had booked 90 minutes. Next time.
I have been struggling for years with tight muscles that no one can seem to help me with. I walked out of my 1st massage at movement massage with no more hip pain and no longer hurts to sit or drive. You are amazing, thank you so much!
The best massage therapist in Boise! This is not a “relaxing spa treatment” but a deeply healing experience that can fix years of pain and blockage.
It was super last minute and needed some work done! I don’t get massages often, so this was good and I’ll definitely be back!
I gave 5 stars only because I couldnt give 6. Highly recommend.
The most caring and thorough masseuse I have ever been to. I have been going to Chelona since 2014. Awesome
Excellent massage, very flexible hours, clean and relaxing space. She is the best!
I have had sever back pain for a long time and I am truly amazed by the way I fill now my pain is at a point weee I can do many of the activities I thought I would not again thank you so much
Best deep tissue massage for helping old injuries!
Good place have me feeling like new
