My experience at Essential Therapy has been exceptional from start to finish. The warmth and professionalism of the ladies at the front desk set the tone for the entire visit. The entire team is knowledgeable and genuinely cares about their work. Ive had micro-channeling and Botox treatments, and each time, I’ve felt completely confident in their expertise. Katie, in particular, goes above and beyond. She doesn’t just focus on Botox and fillers; she is truly invested in the entire process of helping you look and feel your best. Her passion and dedication shine through in everything she does.
I had the most amazing facial with Kamryn today. Her facial techniques were soothing and relaxing, I was in and out of taking naps. After my facial my skin is glowing, and I feel so rejuvenated.
My wife surprised me with a hydrafacial for Fathers Day. The treatment was great and the staff was awesome. I highly recommend Essential Therapies!
I have been to several spas. I always leave this place refreshed. I love getting massage and skincare. The staff are very attentive, courteous, and kind. Practitioners are very well educated, knowledgeable, and talented at their craft. Highly recommend
Best hot stone massage. Natalie was amazing. Definitely will come again.
Amazing massages! Very experienced therapists. Best I have had on this side of the country and as good as the massage therapists I have been to out West!
One of the best massages I’ve had in a while. I called on a whim & was able to get in luckily. The atmosphere is very calming and everyone was so nice. I will definitely be back!!
Katie is amazing. I only go to her to do my botox and fillers!
Its always an outstanding experience to receive a treatment from Jeanny Knapp.She is professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. She helps me so much with my back pain for the last year.The lady at the front desk, Riky is very kind too and super accommodating.To the owner: you’ve done an amazing job! This is a wonderful place. Cozy, caring professional, and the energy is great! Im very grateful for you guys.
The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxing. Everyone is super nice, and they are awesome at reading the room. They always do an amazing job! Ive been many times and gotten the facial, massage, body scrub, and pedicure. I would recommend any of their services.
Hands down, the best massage I’ve ever had! I don’t think I’ve ever felt truly relaxed before! Natalie was amazing, the add on service for an extra 15 min foot massage was very worth it. Can’t wait to go back for a couples massage! Very clean, professional and top notch!**UPDATE** took my husband for a couples massage yesterday, Paige and Natalie took very good care of us. We both left feeling pain free and relaxed, slept better than I have in weeks! A++++
Their receptionist Courtney was just the sweetest, most welcoming presence from the moment I stepped inside. You can just tell she has the kindest, gentlest soul and made me feel so welcome. I was here for a prenatal massage and she was so sweet about my baby and seemed genuinely excited for me and it just gave me the nicest feeling to have her show so much interest and kindness toward me. She 100% deserves a raise- every receptionist should be more like her. Oh and yes my massage was nice as well, I didnt want to get off the table! They seem a little overpriced for their services compared to other massage rates Ive seen but oh well. COURTNEY YOURE THE BEST!
I was so relaxed, and very comfortable! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I had an amazing facial (my 1st ever) amd a massage. Katie was very helpful in setting up the appointment for my husband. He chose my spa day as a surprise, and they did WONDERFUL keeping it secret until the day of. My skin has NEVER looked so good! I cant WAIT to go back! Highly recommend!!!!
Amazing couples massage. We left feeling so refreshed & relaxed. Very caring staff. We will definitely be back and we will refer our friends & family.
“Page” was excellent. I almost fell asleep it felt so good. My Daughter set it up for the both of us. Best Daughter in the World! I will definitely come back. Now my Husband wants a massage 👍🏽 Of course I will have to come with him, Lol.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience here. We did a 90 min couples massage with the hot tub before hand and it was so relaxing in such a lovely place. My only regret is not getting our masseuses names to praise them individually. I highly recommend coming here for a nice relaxing massage that will leave you feeling drunk off relaxation.
Great Massage and a Beautiful Place,Marielle S. was a fantastic massage therapist. I had the Deep Tissue and she was better than expected. As a person with over 200 massages I am quite critical of every place I go to. She did not disappoint. The Spa was very inviting from the receptionist up front and the whole process was relaxing. I would highly recommend Essential Therapies in Mt Dora for your next Massage. My wife and I look forward to our return visit in December.
I had a relaxing and wonderful facial with Katie! My skin was actually glowing when I left. We talked about my skin goals at the beginning of my appointment and then she recommended products for me to use at home. Katie is very knowledgeable about the ingredients in the products she uses and recommends. I have allergies and I felt at ease with her suggestions. I can’t wait to go back!
One of the best spa experiences ever. Your visit starts with Mimosas in the hot tub if you prefer! And who doesnt? We then both had full body exfoliation to get ready for summer and a massage. The products that they use kept my skin soft over 24 hours and the seasonal scents were wonderful.
My husband got us a couples massage for Valentines Day. What a great experience! The massage therapists were amazing! I have had several massages before but I honestly believe this was the best! Quaint place and very accommodating staff! I will be a repeat customer from now on! Thanks for a great experience!
I received a gift certificate to enjoy a spa day at The Gardens. And boy did I enjoy it! This place was amazing! The staff we so friendly and each service I received was fantastic. I think I had every service they offer; a manicure, a pedicure (in the zero gravity chair no less!), jacuzzi time (while sipping on the best sangria I ever had!), a facial and a body massage. Cant wait to go back!
I had a beautiful 90 minute massage today with Keri, so nurturing and she is an excellent massage therapist! I am also a therapist & I give Essential Therapies Garden Spa a 10+I’m in town visiting for some R&R this was just what the doctor ordered! The hot tub soak beforehand was a special touch. I loved all the oils and hot towels throughout.I’ll be back, thank you for the love!
I have never been to a spa before; but had the opportunity to come in for a massage with Natalie and It was a great experience. I work on my feet all day most days and the work she did on my feet was the icing on the cake for my massage. Very much recommend her for massages
The most organized, caring, professional spa Ive ever attended. Jeannie is the best massage therapist ever! Having been married to a chiropractor for 39 years that says a lot!
I came here today to use the gift certificate my husband bought me for Christmas. I had a warm and welcoming experience. I had never had a massage before so I was of course nervous. My massage therapist was wonderful and did an awesome job with what I needed. I would highly recommend anyone to this establishment for their spa needs!
I have been looking for a new place to get nail and waxing services. I finally found it! Essential Therapies is a great spa in the Mount Dora area. Kam gave me a fabulous pedicure and Faith shaped my eyebrows beautifully. I was so glad to find this gem that I booked my next appointments before I left. The receptionist was so sweet; my GPS had trouble finding them and she talked me to my destination. I cannot say enough nice things about them.
I always see Faith for my facials, (however I do need to see her more often)she is amazing and extremely knowledgeable in many aspects of skincare therapies!My husband saw Sarah for his massage, she is also excellent!We were both very relaxed, and pleased with our services!The staff has always been welcoming, weve never had a problem at Essential Therapies! Thank you all
This Garden Spa is my oasis escape for self care. Since day 1, I have been greeted with professionalism & pampered like the princess that I am. ;)Seriously though, they offer luxury services & refreshments while you enjoy the hot tub. Super relaxing peaceful environment & super accommodating staff. This spa forever holds a place in my heart. I highly recommend signing up for a spa VIP package, you will not be dissatisfied..:Sarah M. Moore:.
I loved this place and they have amazing staff. I got a Lavender and Lemonade spa package, with a 60 minute massage (Chantice was so great!) and a pedicure (Deshanna was so great as well!).The atmosphere is so relaxing, and it smells wonderful. I got no hint of a chemical smell, just essential oils. I wish I had taken them up on their hot tub in the garden, which is beautiful, but its summer and I dont like a hot tub in this heat. The whole place really has a professional and relaxing vibe, and I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out.
Was my first time there and definitely wont be my last! I have already booked my next pedicure with DeShanna! Also looking forward to scheduling a massage and pedicure in the near future. Lived in Mount Dora for 14 years now and this is definitely one of the best experiences I have had for a pedicure!
Kari has hands of an angel! The staff is very friendly as well. My 2nd prenatal massage was another 10/10. I highly recommend you book your massage today.
I finally found time to use the Gift Certificate my husband bought for me for Christmas. My therapist was Jeanie. I had the scrub and a massage. I was greeted cordially by the receptionist. Then I was escorted to my room by Jeanie. As I prepared for the Hot Tub, Jeanie got it ready. It was a perfect temperature and the whole area was restful. All of the staff are caring and helpful.
I had a 60 minute Swedish massage on October 2 with Chantrice and it was the best massage I have had. My therapist was wonderful. I loved that she incorporated essential oils (without it being a specific massage with essential oils), used an eye pillow, and bolsters. I felt she did little things to make the massage that much better. Thanks Chantrice and Essential Therapy for another great experience!! You never let me down.
My woman and i were gifted an opportunity by the Lone Wolf Pack on Telegram to experience this Spa today where DeShauna, the Facial Therapist, and Page, the Massage Therapist provided us with an out-of-this-world enjoyment of utter relaxation; that we are equally grateful for! 💜👏😎 Thank you and come vizit us in our one-of-a-kind Telegram community for your very own awakening of a lifetime 🤗
Had a massage in November 2014 and it was a very pleasant experience. The room was quiet with only the calming music being heard. Therapist was very good & nice. I am looking forward to a facial soon. Will definitely go back here.
Kari is the best masseuse ever! Her massages are the perfect balance between relaxation and therapeutic.My teenage son also received a facial from Jeanie. Highly recommend as her attention to detail and her clients comfort level is unmatched. Her approach is a wonderful and natural alternative to harsh creams & meds for hormonal/teenage skin issues.
My husband and I had our first massage together, and it was a wonderful experience.Really felt like in your own space and enjoying your own experience. The massage was very therapeutic. Highly recommend ...then went for a night out.
I was able to use a gift certificate my daughter bought for my birthday (2 Years ago) The hot tub, body message, facial, mani and pedi were so relaxing I was done for the day. The place is wonderful!!!!! All employees seem to be very happy to be there and are so sweet.
My daughter (visiting from NYC) and I did the Autumn package on Saturday -- time in the hot tub with Apple cider mimosas, then an hour long massage followed by an hour long pedicure. Very relaxing and a great afternoon. Lovely place and the staff is great.
Essential Therapies is a wonderful and special Spa.This is not a big, glitzy, pretentious spa. Rather, its a small, intimate, homey experience in a quiet garden setting.I regularly go there for deep tissue massage, facials and mani/pedi services. The service providers are top notch, skilled professionals, who provide a warm and friendly atmosphere. I enjoy every minute of every visit. When I leave I feel recharged, rejuvenated, relaxed and healed, and I cant wait to come back again.
Everyone was very nice. I felt so pampered that I’ll keep my husband one more year so he can buy me another spa day!!I haven’t felt that relaxed in years!! Thank you everyone who helped me feel so good when I was done!!
Dashanna was absolutely AMAZING! Best facial & scalp massage that I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!
Bravissimo!1st time experience at this location and with Professional Masseuse Sara. Very well done thorough job. When Sara was through massaging me, escorting herself out of the quiet peaceful room she asked How are you feeling now?...My response was a very satisfactory exhale sigh of utter relief & the only thing I could say was Aaaaaaaah...Definitely referring her to my Son & Daughter in luv, as well as others...Definitely worth it. So glad I found my place!Thank you ESGS
I got an incredible facial from Katie! She was very knowledgeable and happy to help with any questions I had. I will definitely be going back again for their services!
I love Essential Therapies, this was my 2nd visit for a facial that I received as a birthday present. Faith is amazing with her facials, she takes her time and you enjoy every second of it!!! I will definitely be back for another one.Thank you!!
My husband and I are I guess regulars here. we get an array of services from mani/pedi (Kam) to facials and dermaplaning (Jeannie/Faith) and messages. This place is amazing, the people are amazing! The atmosphere is so relaxing. Every single person has such a great and welcoming attitude. its for sure our place!!
I have received many massages over the years in the US and different countries. Had a massage today with Jeanie and was probably one of the best I have ever had. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a great massage
Went in to get my husband a holiday gift and the woman was so helpful at the front, I almost wanted to get a gift certificate for myself. I loved the essential oils you smell when you walk in. I felt comfortable in the environment.
Staff was friendly. Had a mani/pedi. Room was cluttered and not relaxing at all. The paraffin was not ready for my manicure so after my pedicure, had paraffin done. Stained towels thrown everywhere. Instruments are washed by hand in a sink which is literally 3 feet from where you are supposed to be relaxing, then another nail tech was in the room and continued to spray chemicals so she could clean up after her client. So as I sat there relaxing I got to listen to what sounded like someone doing dishes and breathe in horrible chemicals which made the nail tech gasp for air.....extremely overpriced for a mani/pedi and when the nail tech put my sandals back on my feet, my polish got smudged which I noticed as I was getting up but didnt dare ask her to fix it, I could not wait to get out of there. Manager was nice and assisted me with choosing facial treatments which I only purchased so I could use the remainder of the gift certificate that was given to me. Did not want to go back.........
I dont do many reviews but in my experience, the Essential Therapies Garden Spa is excellent. Lauren Foor is a superb massage therapist and I recommend Kamryn M. highly for a pedicure.
After trying different places, Essential Therapies is my favorite place to go get a massage in the Mount Dora area.
We went to Mount Dora for a relaxing Valentines Weekend. The private time in the hot tub and the couples massage were very relaxing, we will return on our next trip.
I just had the best pedicure of my life and I cant wait to go back. Kamryn listened to what I was looking for in a pedicure and was very kind and professional! This is my new favorite place!
I have been going there for 10 years! You relax as soon as you come through the front door. All the treatments are wonderful (I think I have tried them all!). Dont hesitate to make an appointment-you will not be disappointed!
This spa is amazing! All the ladies who work here are terrific at their jobs. When you leave, you will feel calm, relaxed and like layers of stress have been peeled away.
Jeanne is an excellent massage therapist. She definitely knows how to get those tension-related knots out of my shoulders!
Best place for a massage. Amazing service, great environment, good prices. Been going for atleast 2 years and it has always been wonderful the people remember you.
My husband and I go for couples massages. Love that we can get them together.. The staff is so friendly. They always go above and beyond for us.
Cari is great every visit. I also recommend coming a little early and book the jacuzzi before the massage and get a sangria. Nothing like a dip and a drink beforehand.
Essential Therapies is a very friendly and relaxing spa. The staff was great and made my visit well worth it. Ill be back soon!
Very beautiful place! The staff is knowledgeable and professional. I always feel welcomed and leave with a smile! Great place.
Got my first massage here by Sara, she was so amazing! I will definitely be back to see her!!
The staff is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. They treat every single service as special, you feel appreciated as a client. Cannot recommend them strongly enough.
I had a stone and cbd massage and I had extreme back pain and knee pain and I walked out today feeling like a new person again! This momma needed a break!
I always see Faith for my skincare and eyebrows. She is the BEST around and the friendliest person you could meet too!
Great place for relaxation. Natalie did the massage for me and was great, thanks! Will come again!
This place is superb. I had a scrub and a hydra-facial and came out brand new. The staff are all very friendly.
They are awesome! I love going there. Always on time. Love Kamryn for mani pedi. Front desk is always helpful.
Love Essential Therapies Garden Spa. A Place you can go to feel good and relaxed. Everyone there treats you like family!
The staff was so friendly. Everyone made sure you were comfortable and relaxed. Basically, they made you have the kind of day you wanted to have
How have I never had a facial before today?! The atmosphere is a whole new world of calm. Amazing!
Dustin was awesome!! Best massage ever!!
Absolutely wonderful. First massage and it was worth the wait. I highly recommend.
Boyfriend got me a gift certificate for a facial and massage for Valentines, very relaxing!
Got a pedicure with the wife. Lily is awesome.
A wonderful get away Spa! Highly recommended and we look forward to our return!
The people there are super nice and are great at what they do. I will def be back!

A facial with Faith is better than sex and chocolate!
Amazing experience. Very relaxing. Staff super professional
