Cheeva Som Retreat

First time Thai massage, did a combo where they did Thai and deep tissue, involving they getting on top of you, stretching and deeptissue. Clean, friendly, and great massage. It was little odd all the stretches they do while you are nude under a towel sized blanket but at some point, you just don’t care.

Laila was beyond amazing! My body was tight + extremely stiff prior to walking in. An hour later, fluidity had fully returned throughout my body. She loosened my hips, entire back, neck + shoulders. There was bending, popping + much needed cracking. Absolutely love how they utilise the bar above the bed for walking + pressing on the body. The rolling techniques she used on my body (180lbs, 5’4”, M/L female) were perfect for kneading out the tight kinksWish I had time for another hour but was honestly amazed + shocked how normal my body felt after one hour. Not many therapists are skilled to accomplish such relief in an hour’s time. She literally revived my body to a state of pure reliefI am half Thai. Thailand is my second home. I am also accustomed to 2-5 hour massages daily when there. For nearly 30 years of receiving Thai massages, I definitely know how a Thai massage should feel. Have also been trained in traditional Thai massage to understand the art + philosophyMiss Pai, the owner, is wonderful. She has a lovely, well trained, professional staff of experts. For the first time in Texas + the states, I felt as if I were in Thailand receiving my massage. The nostalgia of being home completely warmed my heart. The ladies were truly kind from the time of walking in + leaving. Looking forward to returning soonThis spa is where I am officially recommended to my friends + anyone who asks me where to find an authentic Thai massage. It is well worth the price for the experience of traditional Thai culture. Check out their services + take in the cozy decor. Absolutely love how this spa isn’t modernised. Not that there is anything wrong with that style, this entire space totally gives that transported to Thailand feel

Wow! Gina was awesome.This was the best massage I’ve had in a while. They did exactly what I asked and was very happy with the prompt start time and quality of work. I’ll be back!

These ladies will turn your body into butter if you can handle it. You can ask for less pressure but trust , all your knots will be gone if you can just go with it. They are all so sweet and the environment is heavenly

Im truly impressed! Having had massages elsewhere that left me with bruises due to my sensitivity, Amys expertise in applying just the right amount of pressure made all the difference. It was, without a doubt, the best massage Ive ever experienced, and Im looking forward to returning!

Holy cow. I feel like a brand new person leaving this place. Booked a 60 min Thai & Swedish combo with Nadia and she was AMAZING. The price is definitely worth what they give you.I was incredibly impressed with how much she was able to fit in that time period. She walked on my back, stretched me out, got a bunch of knots undone, and used hot towels.She also used a massage cream that had maybe some menthol in it? I felt a cool and soothing sensation from it and it really enhanced the massage, especially I was experiencing some aching and soreness.She was very attentive and often checked in on me to make sure the pressure was okay. I typically prefer a lighter pressure and she made sure to be gentle with me and warn me if there were any parts that might hurt a little more.The only thing I would note is that if you’re uncomfortable with being naked with your therapist, be aware that your drape will come off at some point during the massage. I kept my underwear on and had pasties, so I was fine. But I could see someone getting uncomfortable if they weren’t expecting that.

Had a wonderful experience with Maya. She did a very good job and was super professional. I felt super relaxed after a stressful week. The place was very beautiful and the vibes were immaculate.

I love my experience there!! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My favorite massage therapist is Maya I definitely recommend booking with her.

This used to be our go to place for Thai massage prior to the pandemic... going once sometimes twice a month. We had an unpleasant experience during the pandemic a couple of times and felt our concerns were not addressed so we stopped going. They are available on ClassPass so we decided to try again. It was a much better experience compared to the last few we had. The staff is friendly. The massage therapists were great and really strong. We prefer deep tissue and walking on our backs. Plenty of parking. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other places. We will come again.

I came to Bella , she sweet and nice . very relaxing . Place is clean.I recommend

Lucky find!!! Dianna and Liana were the best for my couples massage. I am very particular about where I choose to book a couples massage, you NEVER know what youre going to get.This experience as a pleasant surprise for me! Combo Thai massage felt like a yoga session and being kneaded like dough all in one. First time experiencing this new art of massage. No wasted movements, clean and hygienic, comfortable atmosphere, and most importantly, worth every penny!Great ladies who pride in their work.

Make an appointment TODAY with NADIA! You will NOT be disappointed. What an amazing find! Not what you would expect from the outside but the ambiance on the inside was just perfect for a Genuine Thai Massage Retreat! Rooms were so spacious, there are full size beds in Thai themed rooms with Ashiatsu bars on the ceiling to assist with the pressure as she started by walking up and down my backside to loosen up my body. Then proceeded to stretch and apply pressure- then a wonderfully fragrant type peppermint oil was applied and she switched to using her hands & arms with continuous pressure and really worked out the knots on my back, neck, and calves. Hot towels were applied and used to remove excess oils. Lots of strategic stretching and manipulation of the joints. I highly recommend this place - it is so reasonable and they are all so inviting and kind there. I WILL be back!!!!

It was such a lovely experience! Everyone was so nice and the massage was sooo worth it! All the stress that built up in my back and neck is all gone ! Definitely going back ! 🙏🏼

My wife and I were in Houston for the weekend and decided to give Cheeva Som a try for a couples massage. To say we were pleased with the wole expereince is an understatement. We had a couples Thai massage and it was by far the best massages we have ever had. Cat and Emmi were professional, kind and so knowledgable. The massage was thorough and they adjusted their focus depending on our needs. We will be back every chance we get.

This place is incredible . I came to Houston outta town and went with my friend. She cracked me like a glow stick. Definitely recommend 👌

I read the reviews thinking it was going to be a good spot. I got an hour message and explain to the masseuse how bad I wanted her to focus on my back , and she said okay no problem but why did she decided to step on my back after I told her I didn’t want that (now my back has been hurting and I might need to go get it checked now) she spent more time doing other things then actually giving me a massage. And when it was time for my back, she was using her forearms instead of her hands/thumbs like I requested. I literally spent $80 for NOTHING. I came out that massage place hurting more than I came in. This rating of 4.7 star is very misleading. I normally tip really good because I love massages. I been to the Philippines and Thailand spending $5 for An amazing experience. I would’ve tipped good but I can’t believe how disappointed I was and I almost walked out. It was a waste of money and time. I wish I would’ve gotten her name UGH! A little advice , when a customer is requesting something , PLEASE do it and do not do whatever you want to do just to waste time for that 1 hour to go by fast.

The women here really know what they are doing!I usually like my massage deep enough that Ill streaming all the way thru, but the summers got me feeling all bloated, crampy and tender.Today I asked for a Soft massage and Layla was fantastic. She had me so relaxed that, with the sofest pressure, the knots on my neck, shoulders and hips loosed right up.Left feeling reset and ready for next week!

I read the reviews and decided I needed this. Laila was all that they said great about her. I was nervous because it was my first Thai or Swedish massage. This was worth it all. My body feel so loose and fluid. The whole atmosphere was quiet, calm and relaxing.

Used to be a great place. I have had great results with with other masseuses but today Walked away feeling unrefreshed as if nothing happened. Laila was awful. I requested relaxation massage and got zero massage only stretching and walked in with her hard feet.

Update: I saw a therapist who gave a great massage but then did an adjustment on my neck near the end, which they are not licensed to do. Its caused me consistent pain for weeks, and Im having to see a physical therapist. If management sees this, please advise your therapists not to do this.Previous review: I have gone to so many massage therapists and none of them compare to Cheeva! I always leave so appreciative that they shared their craft expertise with me.All the therapists are great, but Nyssa and Mimi are absolutely amazing. My shoulders have broken weaker men, but these ladies wrestle them into submission no problem. I have flexibility issues and have so much more mobility after an appointment.Get the hour and a half Swedish-Thai combination, you wont regret it!

We went for a couples massage tonight for the first time . The room was nice , relaxing music , clean , and the massage table was comfortable and roomy . Both ladies did a great job with deep tissue massage and passive stretching.

My first time ever getting a Thai massage and Ill never go back. Lai La was amazing. She checked in with me throughout the entire massage. I need a lot more work, but after 1 session I already have less pain and I dont feel as tense. I walked out and honestly didnt recognize what I was feeling. I forgot how it felt to be relaxed and not be completely stiff.

I feel like Im floating after my Thai massage, amazing!

Wow!!!! Sonia did my Thai/Deep tissue massage today for me and it was AMAZING! She was so pleasant and really focused on areas she identified needed extra attention. The pressure she used was just right for me! My legs felt so good after the massage, my whole body felt good. BEST massage I have had in a long time. I will definitely be going back to see Sonia!

I highly recommend LaLa. She really takes her time and will adjust the intensity based on what you’d like. They are reasonably priced. The scrub, deep tissue massage and Thai stretch are the absolute best.

Great place to get a massage. The therapists here are professional and will walk on your back and stretch you. There are a few in particular that are really good like Nissa and Mai. My girlfriend and I use this as our #1 spot for Thai massage.

This place made me wait 35 minutes past my appointment and then they told me they don’t have a therapist for my massage.

I have been here two times and worked with Linda as my massage therapist. I have had many many massages over the decades with some very good therapists, and thus far, Linda is the best!!!!!! She is intuitive, and is a master at finding the trouble spots and working them out. Cannot say enough. They are very accommodating and I thank them for the quality of massage I got. I’ll be back for sure!!! Book with Linda, you wont be sorry.

The Thai massage therapy here is pretty good. I find this type of method more beneficial when regular Swedish massages are unable to take care of the most difficult knots. It is a nice place to get body work done, the therapists are highly skilled, and the front desk staff are very nice.

I got the Swedish massage, I think, but it was really a combo Swedish-Thai massage. I’d never had a Thai massage before. I think this may have been the best massage I’ve ever had!! It was amazing....the massage therapist used her feet to apply more pressured and it felt super good! And stretched me...but also had relaxing hot towels and aromatherapy. Ahhhhhhh.....I will definitely go back!!

I have severe upper back pain and Holly spent over an hour working out the kinks. She explained what she was going to do beforehand and though the massage itself was intense because of my tender back, this morning Ive woken up a new person. Id highly suggest the Thai-Swedish massage combo with hot stones to get the best of both worlds. They also offer Lomi Lomi massages, known as Hawaiian massages. Ill definitely check that out.

UpdateI go to Cheevasom often. On some occasions I make appointments and other times I just drop in and take the next available therapist. I have always been treated extremely well and never disappointed.Recently I had an amazing massage with Maya. This young lady is strong but gentle. She can bend and stretch you beyond what you can do by yourself, taking you to better flexibility and range of motion with hurting you. Beyond the traditional thai massage, she is gifted with Swedish and deep pressure massage…bringing to to a blissful state with her firm, gentle and smooth strokes. Maya deserves far more than a five star rating.I enjoyed a great massage with Diana. Diana brings excellent experience, knowledge and skill together when taking a train wreck of a body from too much exercise and transforming it into a relaxed body thankful for the help. Diana’s experience pays off in her deep understanding of body structure. One of the measures I have for a therapist how they apply different degrees of pressure. Here Diana excels with gentle to firm pressure with hands, medium to deep pressure with hands, elbows and knees, and her amazing feet. She can do wonders when you need help the most. If you need and are receptive to a therapist’s energy, then Diana’s energy is the prescription you need to feel recharged after the massage.I had a deeply relaxing massage with JJ not long ago. JJ is a master at Thai massage, bending and stretching you in ways you think not possible. When done, you can feel the blood flowing through your veins. She has a great gentle touch that is soothing and calming. JJ will put you in a state of total relaxation.Prior ReviewI’ve experienced thai massage throughout Thailand and in many shops in the USA. Cheevasom is one of the very best you will find. I have been a loyal customer for years, getting massages that put my body in a state of bliss and puts me into a deep, long sleep after getting home. It is wonderful!The therapists are well trained and experienced and have the ability to read what your body needs and kneads with a few light touches.Each therapist is very good. Each can perform deep tissue massages, assisted yoga style stretching into a state of relaxation and soothe with a gentle Swedish style strokes. All pleasant and professional and a joy to submit your body to for renewal.Recommendation - go for a longer massage. As the Session gets longer the therapist has more time to do their magic. Time is an important ingredient to bringing full relaxation to a body in need. You won’t regret the 2-3 hours you give them because they will give you so much more in return. Don’t rush…relax.

They took our appt same day which is a plus for those with hectic schedules. That was probably the best massage I have ever had. I will definitely go there again.

Top class Thai massage with the most skilled and kind practitioners. The massage was with such intention and presence. Feel incredibly healed and very replenished body mind and soul. I plan to be a regular!

Dao and Kat are the absolute best!! They have been able to help me with injuries that have been stuck for a long time. Very professional and clean space. 🙏

This place is excellent and legitimate! I am a power lifter which means that I am sore and tight a lot from my crazy workouts and despite all the stretching and foam rolling. Over the years, I have tried numerous massage places but this one is GOLD. Ask for NaNa or Anne. I always get the Swedish/Thai combination massage. Everytime I walk out of here, my aches and pains have gone away and I feel loosey goosey. They are very thorough and for only 70$/ hour, this is a steal. Not to mention that the place is clean, the ambiance is nice and cozy and the staff are friendly and professional.I have had plenty of high end expensive spa massages at 5 star hotels but they still do not compare to the quality, thoroughness and therapeutic value of the massage a Cheeva Som retreat. I have been a regular here since the past few months and my flexibility and recovery time between workouts has improved tremendously.

Great massages, Swedish or Thai. The stretching is great and really helps with recovery. Ive seen multiple therapists but they all seem very skilled. Highly recommended.

Cat is the best Il love this place

My name is Alexis my first name is Victoria. I love love love LAILA!!! She is the best ever!!!! I’ve never had a better massage in my whole 26 years of life! She is the best & I love her so much!

Best in town period. Nyssa is absolutely amazing. This place is authentic, professional and a joy to visit. It is great to go somewhere the massage is fantastic and no funny business to worry about!

I went to Cheeva Som Retreat and take 1.5 hr of thai traditional massage with beatiful thai woman. Her name is Thaiwan, nick name is Rose. She is very professional and very nice. The experience with thai traditional massage at Cheeva Som Retreat is impression to me. The place is clean, beatiful, quiet and have a lot of safe parking space.

If you like been pounded on, pressed on with forearm bones or feet, this is your place. If you like a massage with palms and fingertips, where the masseuse is feeling your muscles and responding appropriately, keep looking for other massage places.

First thai massage, it was the most excellent experience !I will become a regular :)

Amazing couples massage. Boyfriend fell asleep a couple of times. Nice soothing music with dark lights to enforce relaxation. 10/10 would go again.

This place never disappoints. Ive had the combo massage and sauna and then a couples combo massage. Both were excellent and helped to relieve stress and tension.

Paid for two masseuse to thoroughly be attended and they were giggling and one point thought I was asleep so they stopped all together and were communicating on a foreign language as to be ridiculously childish. I doubt anyone there has a license much less the right to work in USA

Our place to go for couple massages. Always schedule ahead of time. A win win for male and female. Tell them Emma sent you

Cheeva is a great REPUTABLE Thai massage destination for men and women located on South Shepherd between San Felipe (changes to Vermont at Shepherd heading East) and Welch and its qualified and professional staff will transport you with a sensually relaxing escape from the daily stress and grind that living in the United States 3rd largest city, Houston, Texas, can expose any hardened 24-7 machine to and creating many secondary physical maladies. as well all know. Packages available. usualy I came with Ow or Diana they all good for my tentionsand upper back, Oh is very amazing when they walk on my back WoW , Call them today and you will be glad you did!!!

Friendly staff, great pricing, thorough massages. Exterior looks a little rough but they did a great job making the ambience relaxing for a couples massage!

By far the very best in Houston. They really care about their profession and do not slack in the slightest. Good service gets good reviews in my book.

My absolute favourite massage studio. The Thai massages here and phenomenal and the staff are so genuine and friendly.

Massage was great the therapist really helped me to relax and melt away the stress

Therapist Layla did an awesome job. Would definitely go back!

Amazing massages...definitely and upstanding place that had masseuses that get your body kinks worked out.

Very good massage. Best I have had in many years. Definitely will be back

My boyfriend and I got a couples massage and we both loved it...we will be back☺

I had a wonderful experience!! I’m definitely going back!

Awesome place! They help you drift away from the world and all the stressors that come with it. I always leave relaxed!

Had the Swedish massage, Tanya was amazing. Cant wait to visit again. 😊

We did a couples massage and it was amazing 👏🏾.

Very clean and took me right in!! Great for people who workout and need a massage and stretch!! Would go back.

Dtan is a highly skilled masseuse. I strongly recommend the Chiva Som Retreat.

A great place for couples massage. Therapists are very thoughtful and experienced.

If you want a good massage You must come here. Trust me.

Great thai massage. They walk on your back and give you a deep stretch

I definitely felt better, but it wasnt necessarily what I asked for.

Id give it more stars if I could. Professional , friendly, and affordable.

Very reasonable, pleasant, and professional! Excellent all around....
