While in Florida, my friend and I booked massages at Spa Northwest. From the outside, the building sits in an office complex. You would never guess that such a cute spa sits right inside. When you walk in, the reception area is so cozy and inviting. And there is also a sweet spa dog, Holly to greet you. Shelly was my massage therapist and I had a 75 minute massage that ended with a foot scrub. Shelly was fabulous. She provided the perfect pressure and I left the spa so relaxed and happy. At the end of the massage, we sat back in the waiting room and had a glass of rose before leaving. This spa was such a treat and the price was great, $110 for 75 minutes.
Loved my experience here! I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Alison and it was exceptional!! She listened to what I wanted and needed and was incredibly skilled. Best DEEP tissue massage I’ve had in Florida! I left feeling so much better than when I walked in, very therapeutic.I also received a facial from Elena and it was wonderful. All products were organic and felt so good on my face. If you are holistic, this is the place to get a facial. Definitely going back! And highly recommend!
My husband booked us a couple massage this afternoon as part of our 13th Wedding Anniversary. Oh my goodness!!! It was amazing!!! I walked out having like jello! Beautiful and calming interior! Wonderful staff. Definitely going to look at their other services and go back!
We booked a couples massage at Spa Northwest during our vacation to Bradenton. The lounge was closed while we were there but the waiting area was very clean and cozy. The front desk worker was very kind and friendly. The staff was great! Our massages were perfect! We will definitely be coming back!
We received the deep tissue couples massage with Liz and Shelly! They were absolutely amazing! They were so sweet and the pressure was perfect. Definitely felt like a new person walking out of there! Highly recommend!!
If I could give 100 stars I would! I had a 75 min massage with Liz and she was absolutely incredible. She took her time to make me comfortable before starting and listening to all my concerns. Her tender (and not so tender) touch was exactly what I needed. She is a breath of fresh air and so good for your soul. You will leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and also restored. Thank you, Liz! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was bitten on the face by a dog in December and my plastic surgeon recommended lymphatic massage. Today I met with Liz who I cannot rave about enough. This woman rocks. I could almost immediately feel the difference after a 45 minute session. I need to go back for 8 to 12 more sessions, but I am so excited to see the change in my scar. Highly recommend Liz and Spa Northwest.
First time client here at Spa Northwest. This facility is beautiful and the staff are very kind. I feel very comfortable at this spa. I have been working with Michelle for my post op lymphatic massages and she is great! She does really great work and offers great advice/guidance. I am looking forward to booking other services here such as a facial and couples massage. Thank you Spa North West!
Where do I start? Shay is phenomenal and I mean really phenomenal! Among my top 5 massages in life and I’ve had many. The facility is beautiful. Enjoyed the relaxation room and will be going back when in town
Unbelievable experience at Spa Northwest today. We had a couples massage. I had therapist Shay and husband had Kelly. Both strong, highly skilled therapists and easily 10+. Weve had many hundreds of massages and today ranks at the top. Do yourself a favor and book here. Did I mention how beautiful the ambiance is that this spa? A treat. We will return.
I came to Longboat Key for a girls trip with a horrible kink in my neck. I wanted to be able to enjoy the rest of my vacay, so I booked a one hour deep tissue massage with Elizabeth. As a massage therapist myself, I can tell you this is one of the best massages I have ever experienced! I vacation to LBK a few times a year and I will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
It was my first time here. I can’t believe I live down the street and I just now discovered this awesome spa. Everything was perfect from the massage to the facial to my eyelashes and eyebrow lift. I highly recommend this spa.
Michelle was amazing, I got surgery about a month ago today, and I came to Anna Maria Island for a short vacation. I was concerned because I have to continue my lymphatic massages on a daily basis. Luckily I was able to Google an amazing spa where I have gotten three massages by Michelle. She was very professional m, knowledgeable, and I can tell she had plenty of experience with post op care (massages) . I definitely recommend the Spa Northwest request Mishelle 🫶🏻
This is gonna be a long one…I spent the winter in Bradenton, and I waited until now to write the review because I wanted Michelle to be available for me 😅Michelle is the best masseuse I’ve ever had. For context, I’ve had over 200 massages from at least 100 different masseuses in the past 7 years, and she is hands down the best. I visited her 4 times, so it wasn’t a fluke. And don’t get me wrong, I’ve had many many great massages. But this is the top.Her hands are truly like magic. She doesn’t follow a cookie cutter routine…she finds the spots that need work, and she targets them effectively. Michelle probably revealed 10 new “spots” on my body that need massaged, that no other masseuse has touched before. Her knowledge is top notch. I learned so much about my muscles and tendons just by asking her questions. I genuinely wanted to take the knowledge home with me because I’m afraid that no one else will ever be as good as her.The whole spa is awesome. The 4.9 rating is no joke. I booked an entire day of bliss for my fiancé (body wrap, massage, and facial) and she was delighted from beginning to end. She agreed that Michelle was awesome. She also received a massage from Elizabeth who did an excellent job. My fiancé was exceptionally pleased with both ladies’ abilities to offer a true deep tissue massage.
A welcoming retreat! I got a package with a massage and facial for a mortuary gift to myself and it was worth it. Excellent facial with great tips and a great peaceful massage. Will be back!
I had the most amazing experience!! My friend and I booked a wrap and massage and were not disappointed. My massage therapist Mindy was very kind and amazing at the treatments. We left so relaxed. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be back for more services!
What a wonderful experience today. From our arrival to departure it was more than a treat. I came in with the weight of the world and am walking out on clouds. Thank you so much Kelly. Your spa is beautiful and staff are patient and so sweet. Even getting a sweet greeting from Holly was a treat. Do yourself a favor and book your massage or other spa service today.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional skills of an amazing esthetician, Brittany. For my first ever facial, I felt her expertise in skincare left me feeling rejuvenated and confident. I have had other wonderful services here in the past but the personalized approach and attention to detail truly set her apart. Highly recommend her services!
My wife and I went to Spa Northwest for a couples massage . We have done them before at other establishments but today was our first time here . The experience was incredible . From the moment you walk in , you are made to feel like part of the family . My massage therapist was Liz . She was absolutely amazing . She asked me what level of intensity and she did not disappoint . Not only is she good at her job but also a great human being . My wife had Kelly and it was the same experience as mine . Visit there business and be one part of the family God bless
I couldnt have been more satisfied with my experience. I booked a private Spa and Yoga class experience for a Family Girl’s Experience. Prior to coming I requested some modifications to accommodate my senior mother and aunt. Kathleen was very helpful. When I explained my vision she went above and beyond to ensure their first time experience exceeded what I imagined. We had chair yoga, private lunch, massages, and facials. Everyone we encountered was friendly and very professional. I highly recommend a visit and plan to return in the future.
This beautiful, relaxing spa is filled with caring and knowledgeable people! I have been getting consistent lymphatic massages from Michelle and facials with Lauren for the past few months - I feel incredible each time I leave! The owner is also extremely friendly and genuinely cares about her clients! I am definitely a lifelong customer 😊
The staff was very welcoming from the start and Shelley my massage therapist was amazing! Took care of all my needs ans addressed them accordingly not to mention she was entertaining ! Already booked my next session
My husband and I just had the 60 minute deep tissue massage with Michelle and Liz. Both were amazing, professional, knowledgeable and gave us the best massage experience we have ever had! We both loved it so much we booked a 90 minute massage with both of them before leaving. Beautiful spa, beautifully decorated, all the staff is top notch. We have decided this is the spa for us, and we highly recommend anyone looking for a great massage to start here.
Kelly, along with Shelly, did a wonderful job for a couples massage. 100% satisfied with the service, quality, and overall look of the spa. First time was worth it. Will be coming back.
Liz is phenomenal and a master of her craft! I received a 90 min massage with hot stones + a mini facial; everything was excellent! The space is inviting and calm and the rooms were cozy + very clean. I will absolutely return the next time I’m in town, 10/10
I wasnt able to go to my appointment I scheduled at 11a.m I got called in for blood work. So I had rescheduled because the office was running behind..I made another for the same day at 1p.m .I get a call from his school he was pushed off of the playground equipment so I had to pick h Im up...He was complaining about his head..I call and tell them an Emergency came up with my 4yr old grandsongetting hurt his head hit the ground ..and they still charged me 100.00 .I am a licensed Medical esthetician....and I could never..My grandson is my sole responsibility..bad business. My appointment was at 1p.m they started processing the payment at 12:32p.m edit..its obvious you need the money I never asked the price because i wasnt worried about it..until I called after picking him up..... Emergency.... it was 12:28pm was on the phone 2min 48 sec.12.32 card was charged. I asked if I could bring him they said yes..lol such compassion..at the end of the day you need that $$$$and didnt care according to your policy. Death wouldnt stop you form taking the payment.tou cannot be human..why would anyone make an appointment confirming twice to just cancel..common sense smh.but love those as I have loved you👏🙌🙌❤️🙏
Got a facial with Elena it was one of the best I have received. She did an outstanding job. From start to finish it was flawless. She was very kind, and knowledgeable of what she was doing. She had such a great technique and was extremely relaxing! I highly recommend. Definitely going back, I have found my new spa!!
I have been in town for a couple of months and discovered this place which has been such a blessing! They are all so friendly and welcoming! My therapist, Liz (Elizabeth) is such a sweetheart and very good at what she does! I highly recommend!!! Even Holly, the sweet doggie that welcomed us was such a treat!
Had a wonderful facial with Elena. She discussed my skin care concerns prior to my facial. Gave me some great tips after. She was very attentive. I felt very relaxed and in good hands. My skin feels fantastic! I will definitely be back real soon.
Went for my first time here and had Shelley. Was a perfect match. She heard me as to my issues and did a phenomenal job getting me out of pain. The place is very calm, soothing, and a great ambiance and clean atmosphere. I’ve already booked my next session. Thank you!
Wow. I had a massage with Liz and I honestly just experienced the best massage of my life. I’ve always loved Spa Northwest but these new owners have taken it to another level. It was a healing experience. Above and beyond. Highly recommend and will always support this amazing local business.
Michelle is amazing! By far the best deep tissue massage I have ever had! I will be back very soon!
Edit to update: The owner called me directly to make it right which was a nice thing to do. It made me feel valued and that this was an out of the ordinary incident for them.Giving 2 stars because everyone was friendly, but it is unlikely I would go back. I booked with a massage therapist and they called the day before to adjust my appointment time by 15 mins which was fine. When I arrived, my therapist had changed to someone else. I was never notified of this so it really caught me off guard. While the therapist was sweet, she should have not agreed to the appointment since she was injured. I felt really bad for her and I never really relaxed through the appointment. I felt bad she was having to give me a massage and she mentioned more than once she was not fit to give a massage. She was always wincing in pain. I unfortunately did not leave this spa feeling great. I tried to ask the front desk staff why my therapist was switched on me but I don’t think she knew. Anyway, that was my experience. Oh and the massage was $100 for 60 mins and then a 15 min add on. On the website it gave an option, but in reality I only was offered a foot scrub.
Beautiful, clean, calming, relaxing and I love dogs, so Holly was an extra treat! Elena was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and explained her process. Im excited to try the new products!
At the outset, Samantha greeted us warmly and professionally.Wife and I had couples massage in Feb 2023. I am a massage veteran of 25 years. Hands down (no pun intended), best massage I have ever had! Michelle works magic. Had a knot in my neck from lifting weights. She removed it but also very relaxing. She is great at applying the right amount of pressure. Wifes masseuse was Lacy. She was equally as great. Spa Northwest has got it going on. Kelly and Jeff have done a superb job. We each just scheduled another with each of them. Do yourself a favor Bradenton citizens or visitors, treat yourself to a true pleasure.
My spa experience at this location was AMAZING! The spa is beautiful and so welcoming. Theres even a sweet dog that welcomes you in.I had a package that included a one hour massage with a 15 minute foot scrub and a 60 minute facial.Michelle, the massage therapist is wonderful! The massage was great ! She is thorough, and the pressure was perfect! I came away so relaxed and calm.Then, Judith, the Esthestician also had a fabulous touch. She was gentle but firm. I felt so good and relaxed I actually fell asleep.I cant wait to go back!If you want ab incredible experience, go to Spa Northwest. You will not be disappointed!
We scheduled a spa here and this was one of the best deep tissue massages I have ever had! Highly recommend them and they are friendly and I love how it’s tucked back in this business complex!
Wonderful! If I could give more stars I would. Michelle is amazing and she has an amazing touch. I went for lymphatic massages post surgery. I went in the room feeling really awful but came out an hour later feeling like a whole new person. Michelle is knowledgeable and her tone and aura comforting. I recommend her 100%
This is Bradentons hidden gem. The spa was amazing. I was immediately welcomed upon entering and escorted into a serene waiting area. My esthetician, Lauren, promptly escorted me to the treatment room. She took the time to ask me about my concerns, explain their processes, and answer all my questions. I already filled out the paperwork online, so that was a time saver. I had a facial and waxing. The wax was especially designed for my sensitive skin. Over the years, I have been to various spas in different states, different cities in Florida, and also in Bradenton. The holistic approach was unlike anything I have ever experienced. This has been the best facial/waxing experience, I have ever had. I highly recommend it and cant wait for my next appointment.
Im an out of towner, just needed some stress relief and picked this place out of the Chamber of Commerce book. Shelley is SOOOO good. She has a very calming, soothing voice, shes very attentive, very skilled and knows how to work your muscles so they feel better and you arent sore. This is a spa not physical therapy. The girl at the front desk was very sweet too and the environment itself offers a comforting vibe.
This place is great! I went because I had stiffness in my neck and could hardly turn my head. They knew exactly what to do and I left there feeling much better. My wife and friends have now all gone and they love it! Definitely recommend!
Michelle for Lymphatic Drainage MassageI had Lipo 360/ BBL with Wilton Triggs from Vixen Plastic Surgery and was in need of a massage. I went in post-op day 4 and Michelle was AMAZING! She had the proper setup and equipment. She gave me tips and tricks on at home care and the pressure of her hands were phenomenal! Not too hard, but precise in pushing the lymph tissues around and directing the fluid towards the areas in which help to flush them out. She wasn’t afraid of the drainage I was expelling from my surgical wounds. She was clean and gave great feedback. I left feeling so much more confident in my body and would definitely recommend buying the packages! I’ll be following up with her on my road to recovery!Thank you Michelle
It was my first time getting a massage, so to be fair this may have been my fault but i feel communicatoon couldve been better. I booked my couples massage weeks ago for me and my wifes honeymoon. When we arrived they welcomed us in and gave us a great massage, the therapists did great. As we walk out they tell us we hadnt paid, and i was under the impression i had paid and booked online. Cue 15 mins of panic as i had to split payments between 3 cards, one of which their system could not take. I had to have a friend send me the rest of the money as well as cancel my plans for the rest of the day due to an unexpected 180$ charge. Again, im aware this isnt necessarily the spas fault but i do think they should change their policies to make the customers aware that a booking hasnt been paid for before receiving the massage.
I booked a gift for my mom here. The staff was friendly and accommodating. When we arrived, they provided an overview of services and when we left, my mom said it was the best massage she had ever had.
My husband and I had a couples massage with Kelly and Lacey and left there feeling AMAZING. We both were raving to one another so much we dont know who got the better massage. Good issue to have. We will be back when we are in the area. Thank you so much!
Rica was INCREDIBLE!! I’ve had a LOT of body work done in my life and she clearly knows her stuff!I woke up yesterday with a frozen shoulder and almost no range of motion in my neck. This morning after getting up from Rica’s table, I can honestly say there is zero radiating pain left, returned range of motion and an overall sense of ease (and lack of tension) flooding back into my muscles.Thank you so much for taking the time to work out my injury! Looking forward to next time!! 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful, calming place and Amazong staff!I threw my back out on Sunday, Could barely move on Monday. Called and they got me in right away. Kelly told me her plan and I trusted her. Tuesday I was standing almost straight and could walk no problem. Went back for the second part of the treatment today and although sore, Im Doing Great!I cant thank you enough, Kelly!!
First ever couple message experience was here. They did an excellent job with the environment of room as well as the message. Was worth the money and highly recommend to others who are looking for a relaxing or deep tissue message.
My experience at Gallen was evermore relaxing than I expected. It was a very calm and clean environment, that felt extremely warm and welcoming. As it was my first time being in a massage/yoga studio, I was a little nervous, but I knew as soon as Cameo greeted me at the door with her smile, it was a very comfortable place! As she massaged me, I could tell she was very skilled in her profession, and is able to work around areas that might be more tender or injured accordingly. She made me feel extremely relaxed and I could tell she genuinely cares about her clients well-being/ satisfaction in the massage. I strongly recommend Gallen Studios to anyone seeking a massage; I know I will most definitely be back!
Tara did an amazing 90 minute massage on me today. It was all I hoped for after moving furniture for days. She was able to rid my body of aches and pains in the following places; tight shoulder muscles, tense facial muscles, lower back tightness and aching legs. I definitely felt like a new person.
I went in for a massage and left feeling great! Rochelle was amazing she listened to my concerns and personalize the massage to fit my needs. I will be Highly recommending this place to friends and plan to return!
My fiancé and I went for a couples massage yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! We had Piper and Michelle! The spa is simple, but amazing and clean! Very calming. We will definitely be going back!
Took my mom here as a birthday gift and we both absolutely loved it! I had a massage by Elizabeth and my mom by Kelly and we were both very pleased with our experiences.
This was my first time going to Spa-Northwest. It is a very clean and professional spa with a GREAT zen feel. Victoria was my masseuse and was AMAZING! She worked out all my knots and made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage. I purchased 4 more sessions before I left.
I always love coming here. I love the atmosphere and kindness of all staff. I had a massage therapy session with Sierra today, and she was outstanding. Exactly what I needed. She is definitely one of the best! I look forward to another session with her in the near future.
Do not go to this Spa! Made an appointment then needed to cancel called the night before and they were closed called early the next morning no answer called again no answer texted the front desk because they texted me to begin with and no answer. They charged my card I disputed and they told my credit card company they have a 24 hr cancelation which was never told to me when I made the appointment! I will never use this Spa and I will tell all my friends and family how they treat new customers! Again did not find out about the cancellation policy til they charged my card. Called and asked for the owner to call me and I guess they do not want to keep any customers because I never received a call back. I will continue to dispute this charge and will continue to let my friends and family know how they run their business.
I have had 2 great experiences at Gallen Massage and Yoga and look forward to many more. I had a massage with Alicia that was one of the very best that Ive ever had!!! And the yoga for stress relief class with Stephanie was excellent too. The combination of massage and yoga made such a difference in the way I feel.
Professional and caring staff. Booking an appointment with Samantha is a breeze. Lauren is very knowledgeable. Had a great facial and wax service with her. Elizabeth and Kelly great massage therapists!
This was my second visit to this Spa and both times have been lovely. The ambiance is quiet and calming. The staff was helpful and made me feel seen and heard. My massage therapist (Piper) was amazing - she did a great job!
Nicole was absolutely amazing. Every time I have gotten a massage in the past I told them about my shoulder and they didn’t really focus a lot of energy into it. But she asked me about it, when it hurts what I’m doing when it hurts, how long it has hurt, what makes it feel better and she really was able to work on it. My shoulder has bothered me for over 10 years and it’s been over a week since my massage and it still feels normal 😁
Yesterday, I treated my mom and I to the classic 1 hr massage. My therapist, Tara, was amazing. This was a different massage then Ive ever had and at first I want sure if I liked it. I went in to just be rubbed on and feel relaxed but in addition to a massage, she found spots on body that were tender, worked them out, and stretched me. Today I feel phenomenal. I scheduled an appointment for my husband worth her for tomorrow! They had a small issue with their POS System and the receptionist (I forget her name) was very kind and said not to worry about it and they would call me with any problems. A few hours later I got a call from the owner apologizing!! Over all an incredible experience!
This place is a hidden gem. Thai massage from Kathleen is a real treat. She is skilled, knowledgeable and also just a very caring person. New addition Alicia Nolan is absolutely fabulous and intuitive...one of the best massage therapists Ive ever found...and right here in our backyard. I heartily recommend both Kathleen and Alicia..and am certain anyone else Kathleen adds to her team is going to be fabulous as well.
My husband and I got a massage today at spa Northwest. The experience was very nice from the time we called to set up the appointment .They helped us to get the right massage therapist for what treatment would be good for us and most helpful. I asked for deep tissue and they put me in with Juan Carlos he was absolutely amazing the deep tissue massage was very professional and he was very educated in a lot of different techniques he help me with my pain in one treatment. My husband also liked his massage and we will definitely come back.
This was a long overdue message appontment. The spa is extremely clean has a very peaceful environment. The staff are very helpful and proffesional. My Message Therapist Megan was excellant!!!! I already booked a 90 minute message next weekend. If your looking for a great experience definetly give this wonderful place a try.
I did a restoration yoga class here and it was great. The instructor was friendly and informative. Class size was small and I felt I had enough room to breathe and spread out. Easy registration and class sign up process.
When I called to schedule a yoga class as a first time client the owner Kathleen was so friendly and helpful. Everyone was so kind at Spa Northwest. The yoga instructor Linda was encouraging and super welcoming. We will definitely be returning.
Yoga classes are always very relaxing. Have only had Jenny as an instructor and love her practices for gentle yoga for all levels. Gives great options depending on your skill level. Also brings insightful readings! Such a fun experience!
I have had the privilege of going to Gallen Massage since it’s opening. Kathleen, Cameo, and Alicia have a clear understanding of what customer service is all about, they are extremely kind, courteous, and professional. I have been fortunate to experience several massages from Cameo Ewing, she immediately puts her clients at ease conveying this is your time I assure you will walk out relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. I can attest this will be an exceptional massage, so book now.
BEST massage of my life! Today was my first time to Spa NorthWest. I was eager to try their Thai Massage, but with no appointments available right now, I decided to go for a traditional massage with a thai foot scrub. Nicole, my therapist was just AMAZING. I knew in the first minute this was the best massage I had ever had (and I get 20 or so a year). It was clear that Nicole was constantly customizing the massage to my needs (without any words exchanged). I wish I could spend the day having Nicole work on my knots and stress. The spa and yoga studio are very clean and peaceful and the owner, Kathleen, took time to show me around and explain the membership and package options available after I expressed a desire to come back...soon. I cant wait for my next visit and trying a variety of the services they offer. This place is a gem and a must visit if you appreciate true massage therapy.
This spa is absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is so inviting and the owners and staff are professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. I had a deep tissue massage that was amazing. I plan to returnoften.
Finally got up the courage to take a yoga class after buying a Groupon for Spa-NW. I am not in great shape and carrying a few too many pounds so Ive been a bit intimidated to try yoga. But, Im glad I did! Jenny was a great teacher and the facility was very clean and serene. Great experience that will become a habit!
I had the best massage ever last week at Gallen with Stephanie!! The Thai massage was so invigorating and relaxing at the same time!! 60 min felt like 5 min!! I will be going back for sure...my shoulders and back felt great afterwards and they were very tight at the beginning!
My experience at Gallen massage was exceptional. Sue not only relieved the tension in my back, but she went beyond. She helped me connect with my body and provided advice that I found most useful.Overall my session at Gallen massage was very helpful, professional and personal.Alex
Were all on our own journey, but once in awhile you bump into those along the way that just seemed to fit. This was my experience with Spa-Northwest. The facility is beautiful, the staff and instructors are so supportive and knowledgeable. Peaceful is what I had hoped for to support my health and wellness; and peaceful, with beautiful friendly faces, is what I got! Mind, body and soul....👣Start your journey....Spa-Northwest could be the perfect fit for you too.
I love the variety of yoga this studio has. The owner, Kathleen is also a massage therapist so she knows her anatomy. I used to love taking the yin classes, but my favorite part is how inviting the space is and how Kathleen always asks how things are going. Sometimes its nice to have that kind of sincere personal act of kindness.
Just awesome sauce! My fiancé and I wanted to do a couple’s massage and called them the day of. They got us in a few hours later and were able to accommodate for a prenatal massage too. Both my fiancé and I said it was probably one of the best massages either one of us had received! Highly recommend!
This is my very favorite venue for yoga! In the two years plus that I have been coming here, I have never had a disappointing experience. Each teacher has their own unique approach and style. The staff is courteous and friendly and the owners (Paul and Kathleen) are very accessible.
Though located on busy Manatee Avenue, Kathleens studio is a hidden oasis and refuge. The depth of her background in both yoga and massage shines through in her various level classes and bodywork. Though I have been doing yoga for some 40 years, I seem to learn something new and helpful each time I practice with her. The sequencing and variety of poses appear intuitive, but clearly she prepares the classes carefully. Her understanding of the bodys anatomy and proper alignment techniques help to keep students safe. She also passes on her positive energy and enthusiasm to the studios other teachers and massage therapists.
Scheduled a couples massage for my fiancé and I for his birthday. What a great experience! From the moment we walked in the door, it was such a peaceful, relaxing, professional environment! Marilyn and Shelby did an amazing job! Highly recommend!!!
First massage ever, and Jennifer did AMAZING. This spa had a great atmosphere and everyone is so welcoming and sweet. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing spa day. Visiting from ATL and if I ever come back, this will be my place to go! HIGHLY recommend Jennifer!!
My 1 hr. massage, by Doylin, was absolutely wonderful. Im 77 yrs young & she was very careful to not apply too much pressure. She was delightful and I will be back! My name is Daisy, but my husband has the email account to explain the name difference. Thank you for a totally enjoyable experience at your beautiful spa.
What a treat! Michelle exceeded my expectations for a 90 minute massage with mini facial and foot scrub. Her experience shows. I feel exponentially better in mind, body and soul!
What a relaxing and renewing atmosphere and experience! Loved my Thai massage as it helps to greatly improve my flexibility for cheer and other athletics. All the staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable : ) Cant wait for my next massage and facial. Thanks, Stephanie and Tina!
Massage or yoga, Kathleen and her small crew are fantastic! Professional, super-pleasant, caring, and well, just lovely.Never have I felt that I was just another body or name on the books. All in all, finding Kathleen has been a life-changing event for me. I cannot recommended them highly enough. Whatever might be wrong, I guarantee that this bunch is just what you need!
Very disappointed in the “reflexology”, was not actually reflexology and it was an upcharge. I found Michele to be very jarring during the entire process. The lady who did my facial used product on me without asking about any allergies and used something I was allergic to on my face and eyes. Not a relaxing and soothing experience at all.
Finding a great yoga instructor is key to really enjoying your yoga practice and all of the yoga instructors at Gallen are excellent; caring, skilled and not at all intimidating.The massage I had with Kathleen was the best I have ever had.
I went in today for a 90 minute deep tissue. We started rubbing at 2:05. 20 minutes in I asked to add the Thai foot scrub which was a $15 add on for an extra 15 minutes of massage on the feet. The massage therapist agreed and went and got the scrub ready. Well I ended up being shorted 25 minutes of massage. At 3:25 she finished and said I could get dressed. I mentioned it to the receptionist and she didnt make me pay for the foot scrub. The massage itself was good. You could tell the masseuse was not in a good mood. I will be trying somewhere different next time.
We had a FABULOUS couples massage with Marie and Michelle! Very professional and relaxing, and the spa itself was spotless and welcoming. Highly recommended!!
As an 82 year old just completing a demanding move to my new home in Bradenton, I am most appreciative of the thoughtful, helpful massage and foot scrub Shay provided this morning. Surely I plan to return.
I love the yoga classes at Yoga Bradenton! The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable! They offer variations on each pose to meet individual needs. The studio is beautiful. As soon as you enter, you begin to relax in the clean, soothing atmosphere!
I went in for an introductory deep tissue massage yesterday because my neck and spine were locked up and I no longer had full range of motion for almost 2 weeks. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant and tranquil.My only complaint was the massage was painful for me and when I let my therapist know she apologized, but didnt let up on the pressure at all. Its why I only have them 4 stars, Ill reserve judgement until Ive tried a relaxation massage instead. I have sensitive skin and my muscles were so knotted that I expected it to be a little painful and today I feel like Im bruises. Though I have full range of motion in my neck for the first time in over a week and most of my knots havent returned.I want to make it clear that Im not knocking the therapist for being in pain right now. I did some research and its not uncommon to be sore after a deep tissue, especially if you dont drink enough water to flush the lactic acid from your system. I didnt know what to expect going in, so I wanted to post a review so others understand deep tissue is not to be taken lightly.
I attended Kathleen Gallens yoga class and was amazed by my experience. I had never taken yoga before and thought I would not be able to keepup with the class and possibly be laughed at. Instead, Kathleen made it easyfor me to feel comfortable as a newbee. I am 65 years old and enjoy how thestretching and relaxing make me feel. My daughter is coming with me next week!
As a fellow massage therapist and yoga instructor, its nice to find a professional group that is not only dedicated to whole body health, but also immensely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a fantastic place for beginners or experienced yogis. Its truly a treasure to find such a progressive wellness center in the Bradenton area.
I play a lot of tennis and for some time had been contemplating a massage to deal with muscle tightness in neck and shoulders -decided this was the time and started checking around on-line. Liked what I saw at Spa Northwest a lot and booked a Deep Tissue session. My therapist, Tara, was awesome!Most of the massage just felt great and was very pleasurable and relaxing. But given my tightness, there were a few moments of deep tissue -and I mean deep!!- needed as well. Ive had massage before, so knew what was coming! ;) Taras skill was evident and I was able with complete confidence to just breath into and through the brief moments of the greatest intensity. And man was it ever worth it afterwards! (by the way, please dont let what Im saying worry you: I had told Tara in advance about my background and what I wanted, and during the massage I sensed she was reading my bodys feedback and knew what I could take and how deep she could go with me.)Afterwards (and still), there was a sensation of cleanness in my body, an underlying relaxation and spaciousness -is how it occurs to me to say it. I noticed the next time I got on court the difference it made in my movement, my ground-strokes and my serving!The facility was aesthetically pleasing and clean, all the staff friendly and welcoming. I love it that they also offer yoga with meditation, for there is just a great energy in the place. I will definitely be back for another visit the next time Im in Bradenton! Thank you!
Went for intro facial and massage with my daughter for her birthday and I was VERY impressed. I am not one who can typically relax during the day as my plate is always full and I actually fell asleep during the facial!!! I have not felt that relaxed in years. Cant wait to go back.
Wonderful facial with Judith and massage by Michelle. Michelle and Judith both did an outstanding job. So glad I was blessed to be there. New Owners are awesome.
Elizabeth is one of the best massage therapists I have ever found. The spa has recently undergone a refurb and it looks beautiful. I would recommend spa northwest to anyone
I received a fabulous deep tissue massage from Libby. Very thorough and great technique. The owners are great and ensure the Spa experience resounds! Beautiful decor and environment. 5 stars for certain!
My wife has been going to Spa NorthWest for years and periodically treats me to a massage session. The establishment is alway clean and inviting. The therapists are friendly and professional while never failing to leave me refreshed. Spa NorthWest will continue to be the only place my wife and I go to when we need to decompress in Bradenton
Friendly helpful and accommodating staff. There was a mixup in scheduling for additional clients which left one of us without a masseuse. Kathleen called Tara who was very gracious to come in on her day off to fill the gap. Great example of Customer Service!
Kayla led us through a wonderful yoga journey. Thank you. Her style of teaching is very soothing. I felt amazing after the session.
I left so relaxed. Spent my birthday having a 90 minute massage and a facial. Kelly was fantastic. Clean and great atmosphere. Thank you for making my day special.
Lovely experience at Gallen Massage. A gentle welcome from the front desk and the serene botique ambiance set the mood for a much needed relaxing afternoon. I had a wonderful massage with an added Sheffali facial. Loved the massage and products so much that my next massage is booked and took home my own orange blossom mosturizer. Professional staff and setting made me feel like I was in a Miami spa.
I had an awesome facial with Jen. The Shaffali organic skin care products she used were amazing. Spa Northwest offers quality services by a well trained, experienced professionals in a warm, relaxing environment. I loved it!!!
My fiance and I recently both had a massage by Cameo from Gallen Massage and Yoga. It was both of our first times, and let me tell you, it did not dissapoint! The level of professionalism and technic was awesome. Cameo made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. She did an hour on me first and then an hour on my fiance and was able to keep up her stamina and do the massages to there fullest potential. We definatly will be going to Cameo for more massages and we suggest her to anyone looking for a fabolous massage!!
My husband & I went in for couples massages. We both left feeling rejuvinated, relaxed and well taken care of. Joni & Megan were great! One of the best massages ive had.
Megan and Joni always do an AMAZING job! I highly recommended several family members to see them. My husband had never been disappointed with his deep tissue massage!
Great little massage place. I got a gift certificate for my birthday and just went. I got a 90 minute deep tissue massage, and it was awesome. Highly recommended going here.
In the area for vacation and booked a couples massage for my wife and I. We couldn’t stop telling each other how good our massages were as we drove away. We highly recommend Spa Northwest if you are in the area!
