I went to Awaken For Wellness to get a massage from Erin and I basically floated out of there. I was so relaxed that the snowstorm didnt even faze me as I dreamily walked home. Thats how good of a massage it was!Erin was very welcoming and gave me a lot of options for my first time coming in (and also gave me a good book recommendation!). They hit everywhere (which I guess is recommended if its been a while since your last massage) and adjusted the pressure perfectly on the spots that needed a bit of extra work. It was like my stress rose to the surface and evaporated off my body. Erin, you rock! Thank you so much!
Gracie was super awesome. She took great care of us and walked through everything to make sure we understood the whole process. The sauna and cold plunge was amazing and we felt so good after.
When I lived in St. Paul I came to the infrared sauna 1x a week during the winter. The sauna was always prepared and clean for me. My secret was to bring my own towel and an Aveeno spray so I could spritz my skin with water during the session. Not giving it five stars because of one incident where I brought a guest to try infrared for her first time and she felt sick so she was taking longer to vacate the room. The person working was rushing us out the door and did not care at all that my friend was not feeling well. I understand that it’s a business and they are on a time table to accommodate other people, however, the lack of empathy and hospitality really turned me away.
Erin was very intentional about making sure I was comfortable and that I wasn’t in pain. I’ve had massages before elsewhere but this was my first massage that wasn’t painful, and that I really enjoyed. I look forward to seeing Erin again!! Also, the receptionist was very friendly and patient.
Infrared saunas are nice. Some staff are kinda weird. A couple are a bit combative even. They used to have a really cool staff member named Lydia or Linda. She represented the place well. She looked healthy and happy, and was very professional. Those still there are kind of not that vibe. They also often forget to close the door separating the lobby from the saunas, so that if you go to the bathroom in your robe, or Spa clothing, it’s open to the lobby. It makes it feel less spa like. Why can’t they figure that out? A lot of room for improvement with staffing.
I have had solid if unremarkable massage experiences in the past, and my float was not enjoyable. The tank smelled of mildew, and the salt got in my eyes. They have a spray that is supposed to help but was not helpful.
There is nothing like an infrared sauna to take the chill out of your bones during a Minnesota winter. Or spring for that matter! Terrific experience. Sauna rooms are private and clean. You can regulate the intensity of the heat, the lighting in the room, or add colored lights (different benefits for each color) and even listen to Spotify or watch TV. (I prefer silence!) I was a bit skeptical about infrared at first but am a huge proponent (thanks to my sister for introducing me to Awaken.) So many health benefits — get in over to Awaken - you won’t regret it.They also offer massage and float tank but I have not tried those. Yet.
I dont like to be pressured to set up an account and give my credit card on file. I miss the old days of not having to give all of my identity just to make an appointment somewhere. Its not this companies fault in particular, it is just the way it is these days...Honestly Awakening Wellness as a company is a 10 out of 10 and I loved the float! Lindsay was an amazing host and Ill be back again soon. Thank you.
The infrared saunas are awesome! I feel so detoxed and relaxed afterward. You will really sweat, depending on the heat level and your own body. I’ve been doing this 3x a week for a few weeks and I feel it has improved my mood, during this often bleak cold weather, and my skin. The space is very clean and aesthetic and the vibe is very positive. The staff are very friendly and helpfully. I recommend!👍
Whoever wrote this review is a bloody joke. Get serious help. Staff are very responsive and the people there seem ambient.“They always treat me really weird. The energy is off somehow. Granted I am VERY empathic and Im not sure the typical person can feel what I feel.”
I did the float tank for the first time and it was so calming I actually fell asleep! Staff did a great job providing step by step instructions. Room was private and very clean. Prices are great. As a first time customer I felt pampered.Came back for a message as well. Amazing massage! I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep during the massage!
I paid for 90 minutes and was only in the building for 75 minutes max. This was very disappointing considering the cost. My overall massage was not great.
They always treat me really weird. The energy is off somehow. Granted I am VERY empathic and Im not sure the typical person can feel what I feel. But its a subtle but very snotty vibration that covers all who work here. Its a tangible experience , my guess is that they just dont do a very good job of hiring truly kind or truly happy or truly friendly souls....otherwise its coming from top down and managment is creating an environment where staff isnt free to be themselves. Cant pinpoint the disconnect but its a yucky enough feeling that as much as I love the services, I stay away.
Great local spot with some of the best massage therapists! Front desk is always friendly and helpful. Ive also had great experiences with sauna and float sessions. Tip: Book massages 1-2 months in advance to get popular times, its easy to do on their website. If your schedule is open you can probably find an opening within the next week
We love Awaken for Wellness. Because every time we decide to come down. Theres an opening, everything is fresh and clean. They have a wonderful selection of options for any of your healthcare needs. Everyone always is so nice and knows us by our first name. We love it and were not going anywhere else for our selfcare needs. Thank you ❣️
Marcia was absolutely incredible!! So knowledgeable and an incredible massage therapist. Master of her craft. My body has never felt better.
A stepping stone in your spiritual journey. The staff are whole heart and very understanding. I recommend this place to everyone who lives or visits the twin cities. This place deserves the most undoubtedly highest praise a business could ever receive! 5 solid stars 🤩 keep up the outstanding work and give yourselves a pat on the back.
Went to the salt room in Woodbury and did the sauna / cold plunge combo. Everything was very clean. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
Professional staff. Caring. Good service! Great benefit to health. Highly recommended for many reasons. Sensory tank filled with salt feels like floating in glass of champagne in outer space! Id love to find out how much it costs to sleep the whole night in it. Ha!
Awaken in St. Paul was clean, ready for us at our scheduled time. The person checking us in was very helpful. The infrared sauna met all our needs.
Very welcoming from the get go. You walk in and immediately feel a sense of ease and peace.I signed up for a 90 minute float. It was amazing! I was so relaxed I fell asleep during it! I had the pool room. Tub is much bigger than me! Floating takes no effort due to the amount of salt they use. Plus a private shower with supplied body wash, shampoo and conditioner! Highly recommended! (Just make sure to schedule in advance)
Front desk staff were very positive and patient and proactive. Shawn who gave me a massage was excellent! It was the best massage Ive ever had and helped a lot with wrist pain I had been experiencing for some time. I appreciated his calm energy, attention to detail, and expertise.
So glad I found this place. Love they fully get the connection of mind and body. Ulises is fantastic
I did the sensory deprivation float for the first time ever. I chose 90 minutes, researched what to expect and showed up with very little expectations. The staff were very helpful and guided me through the process. After putting ear plugs in and showering, I got in the float tank and closed the lid. It did not feel clausterphobic and the amount of salt just makes you float instantly, no worries about your head sinking. I left the colored lights on for a while and got used to being in the tank. It was so relaxing and I was able to let go and enjoy the moment. The water is skin temperature and the tank is humid so its very comfortable and the buoyancy allows your body to fully relax. All I could hear was my breath and I floated in and out of thoughts. I eventually turned the lights off and laid in the dark. When my time was up, meditative music began to play and I got out, showered and got dressed. My body feels relaxed, my skin is so soft and Im so glad I gave it a try. I will absolutely be returning.
Its an amazing place and can be so lucrative to the community in healing if only the owners nurtured and cared about their staff better. The staff could then in return give that to the customer base thus improving customer retention and happiness. Customers like consistency especially in a healing environment and the constant high staff turnover gives you a bad feeling & doesnt make one feel good about supporting this business.
Everyone here is really chill and you can feel immediately relaxed and theyll take care of you. My daughter and I scheduled floats at the same time. She did the Chamber which is where you float in apool the size of a Lifetime hot tub. I chose the Pod which was fine for me. Both of us used one of the neck supports and neither of us had any neck pain. It was a great, relaxing experience!
The sauna was clean, heated up nicely upon arrival, and Gracey is super welcoming!
My husband and I had our first visit yesterday and did the sauna and plunge. It was amazing. We ended up buying a membership after talking to one of the owners for a bit. He was super cool and down to earth. He took the time to explain so much. Definitely check them out! They have so many services with a wide variety of benefits.
Brendan was great, it was my first time and the infrared sauna was clean and had a peaceful aura. he explained the float therapy and i will definitely try this.
Floating in the pod was such a unique feeling that you cant experience anywhere else. I felt immensely relaxed and refreshed after my session. My hair and skin felt amazing also, which was an unexpected benefit! I cant wait to come back.
I planned my vacation to MSP, and scheduled an appointment with Awaken For Wellness, for the infrared sauna and cold plunge. I thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of the sauna; however, I’d never experienced the plunge so I couldn’t take full advantage of it—honestly, it was brutal but I will try it again!The highlight of my visit was my massage with Danielle. She unearthed quite a few knots that I had no clue were invading my body. She’s knowledgeable and professional about her craft; and she exudes an overall kind and gentle spirit—which set me at ease.I highly recommend Awaken For Wellness to those who want to live a more healthful life.
Really fond of this place after my first visit. I did the sauna and float back to back and left very relaxed. Taylor helped me and she was very educated on the systems/processes even though she mentioned she was new. The sauna wasn’t any different than your traditional sauna that I could tell but the foot was very interesting. It gives you the weightlessness of sky diving but the tranquility of being on a lake when they go glass-like before sunset.Great experience, will definitely be back!
The young man that helped me from start to finish was very kind informative by including his personal experience with float and what it involved. Being a first time customer for the float it was reassuring for me. He was there when I finished my float and very interested in what I thought of my first time. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I will definitely do it again
Shawn was so amazing doing my massage. He was respectful and He was great at pressure points. Thank you so much I am definitely coming back.
If you’re contemplating booking a floating session, DO IT. I have never felt more energized and relaxed than I do now post session. Although I only drifted to sleep for a short time in the pod, it honestly feels like I got 4+ hours of sleep in a 90 minute session.I feel so refreshed. The folks at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly, big thank you to Tristan for assisting and explaining things clearly to me ! I will definitely be back.
I experienced my first float at my first visit to Awaken. I used the Cabin which is very spacious and inviting. I choose to keep the lights on which change with multiple colors. I was very relaxed and lost track of time.The staff was super-helpful from providing information over the phone and instructing me on the floating procedure.I sat in the waiting area for a little while and I could tell that Awaken has a good vibe. I will be returning.
Woodbury location was so convenient; couldnt be more easy to do some infrared sauna. Also like the St Paul location but usually more of an ordeal to make things happen. Either way, love floating or IR sauna at Awaken.
This review is in regards to the Float Tanks. The water temperature is too warm and ruins most of the experience. I would recommend going to the Wellness Center instead if you want to do the Sensory Deprivation Tanks. I give it 3 stars because they have a Float Cabin, into rates are cheap, and staff is friendly. Tank is set to 98 degrees instead of 94. Doesnt seem like a lot.. but you dont get the floating in the clouds experience when you can feel the water.. and it gets more humid in there.
The staff was very welcoming and helpful for my first float experience. My first session was 90 minutes and no music. I certainly became relaxed, but I found it took a little bit to adjust to the sensory deprivation and would recommend a first timer consider 60 minutes and include music to ease into the experience. Overall, really great experience and felt extremely safe with all COVID precautions being taken by Awaken for Wellness.
Every interaction Ive had with employees has been great. Scheduling is easy as can be. The float tanks are the reason I go. Its a bit unfortunate that every time Ive gone (3 times) there has been loud thumping either upstairs or in an adjacent room. It startles me when Im in the tank because the goal is complete peace and quiet. I realize nowhere is going to be 100% dead silent, but these are loud thumps and they are numerous. There is also an ever so light leak of light into the pod, so Im not sure of the seal is wearing out or what it is but it does affect the experience. Please address the thumping and look into the Crack in the pod.I do highly recommend this location, its just those two items in relation to the float tank pod does affect the experience.
I went to Awaken for frequent float sessions and massages during my 6 months in Saint Paul on a travel nurse assignment. Wonderful place! Love the convenience to schedule your sessions in the MINDBODY app. The massages fill up quickly so it’s hard to get a slot within a week if your availability is limited. You just have to plan ahead. I had massages from Erin and Ulises and both were fantastic!! I would continue as a regular if I lived in Saint Paul! Thank you Awaken!
This was my first float experience and it was awesome. The owner and the manager were great. I was sent all the information ahead of time including a video. I also received a great orientation to the float tank prior to floating. I felt very relaxed and slept well after.
Kind, friendly, and informative staff. The atmosphere at the Saint Paul location is really warm and welcoming. I love using the saunas and I am really excited to try a float tank!
Highly recommend the float pool. Amazing way to shut your mind off with total relaxation.
Everyone should get a chance to experience the wonderful place that is awaken for wellness. It was my first massage and it was exactly what I needed. Danielle was beyond amazing!!
My wife surprised me with a visit to Awaken for Wellness for our first dunk in the tank. I cant even begin to describe what a wonderful product you have, but you already know that. We were both transformed and are still unpacking what it meant to us.We are grateful.Thankfully, Tristan let us in on the benefits of becoming members. His over-the-counter relationship with your clients shines through. What and asset Tristan is to your business.My brain was to fuzzy to capture all of the details, so he suggested I call back at my convenience. I did as soon as the smoke cleared and am set up to return very soon.Thank you, Tristan for being such a wonderful ambassador to Awaken for Wellness. Your enthusiasm and knowledge go a long way.
I have been going to Awaken For Wellness on St Paul for some time. I have enjoyed the infrared saunas for a while, and addition of red light therapy is wonderful as well. I also just had my first float and massage. Both were lovely and relaxing. The space is very peaceful and very clean (and I appreciate both). They have recently also added HEPA air filtration throughout, as well as additional air filters in the saunas. A very nice addition these days. Lastly, the staff is professional, friendly, and helpful. I can not recommend this place enough! It’s a gem!
Short wait, great food and service. Always welcoming. Enjoy eating here
Very nice! I did another float tank. This time in the room instead of the pod. It was nerdy nice and relaxing. Felt very centered and light after the session. It was nice to be able to turn off the noise of the surrounding world and reconnect and recenter with myself. Less aches and pains when done.The massage therapists here are also good!I would recommend both
Front desk was super helpful, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable with the process of my first float! I will absolutely be back for either more floats or the other services and Ive been recommending to all my roommates and coworkers. Prices are fantastic, building was clean and bright!
Loved the location and set up of the St Paul facility. The staff was friendly and helpful, the space was clean and offered a nice variety of products to supplement your float, massage or sauna session. I think there are a lot of us out there who don’t quite know the effects or efficacy of the products so I’d like to see some more easily digestible and prominent literature perhaps posted throughout the facility to help patrons better understand the experience. Other than that, great spot!
-Staff was friendly, informative, and attentive both over the phone and face to face.-Float tank and surrounding room was clean, organized, and intuitive.-Experience was free of distraction, inviting, and left me open to returning for more.I had drown in 2015, and had not been in water more than a shower since. The float tank (larger than the pod, there are 2 options) was not claustrophobic and had the option of music and mood lighting or complete dark and silence at my own discretion. I took the whole 90 mintues my first float and came out much more relaxed and even minded. This greatly helped me step closer to getting back into the water to swim and dive again. I will be returning to float as a regular habit from here on.Great experience despite my apprehensions going in.
I love the infrared sauna experience, and the new sauna in Room #3 is great. The staff is always very helpful and nice. The setting is also soothing and relaxing. Ive been a member for years and always look forward to my sauna time. Ive already sent several people your way!
First off, something about me. I am a pro strongman and require an aggressive recovery routine to keep me competitive. I had my second session in the float tank yesterday and I am blown away by how good I felt leaving. I have herniated/degenerative discs and the float tank was suggested to me. I see the chiropractor and get massage frequently, but I get a whole different kind of relief from the float tank. Im definitely going to keep going as part of my recovery from my training and competition. Also the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I could tell they had smiles on their faces when I walked in even with their masks on.
Very clean, easy online scheduling, and great staff. I leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated…especially after floating, I feel like a brand new person. So relaxing and helpful in an overstimulating world. 💗
I did a 90 minute float in their float room for the first time this weekend, and it was a game-changer. The facility is comfy and squeaky-clean, the staff are sweet and helpful, and the experience was amazing. Ive never felt so relaxed and invigorated after a treatment, and I cant wait to go back again at the end of the week! Im still much more relaxed than I was before--now two days out, and my aches and pains have diminished considerably. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a stress-relieving treatment!
Love the concept and glad to be a member. I wish I wouldve started using the sauna regularly earlier. Ive noticed immediate improvements in my muscles and mind!!! Gracie was so nice and helpful!
My wife and I hadnt had much experience with wellness centers prior to going here. Weve enjoyed trying and now regularly participating in the new therapies and have always had compassionate customer service. Would recommend to anyone. We enjoy the float pools and infra red saunas. Will try the other services in months to come!
Great staff, super clean, with unique offerings. The infrared saunas are awesome, the massages I have received (Rachel) are always fantastic, and the float tank experience is one of a kind. As a personal trainer I recommend this health center to all my clients.
Everything about my experience was fantastic, from the reminder call several days out, to being greeted by Bridget and Luke when we arrived. The facility is clean, welcoming and hip. The whole float process was explained thoroughly and every bit of the experience was relaxing. My husband and I both came in for our first ever float sessions and we will definitely be back.
Fantastic facility to recenter and reconnect to your body. I have only used their float tank services (6 times) and keep going back when needed. The staff are professional, courteous, and help to make the experience fluid and stress-free. Ive recommended Awaken For Wellness to many friends and will continue to do so.
This was my first time visiting. Right when I walked in to Awaken For Wellness, it had a cozy atmosphere, and the man at the front desk was super welcoming. He went over how the salt therapy session works and after he left, the room had welcomed me with a tv, beautiful music, salt, and extreme relaxation! I loved every second of it. After just one 60 minute session, I felt I could already feel multiple benefits. Definitely will be coming back.
What a great place! I bought a Groupon for the sauna treatment and got hooked! I love the sauna treatments…I feel so refreshed when I leave there. I had a massage done yesterday and I love Bridget. She is so thorough and really explains in detail the things she is doing and what is going on with your muscles. I set up another appointment with her. I love the staff and the place in general. Great place!
The staff at Awaken for Wellness is very friendly, and the environment is very welcoming.I enjoyed the sauna and a massage!The massage therapist I saw was extremely knowledgeable and gave me one of the best massages Ive ever received. She knew so much about the different muscle groups and was able to pin-point my problem areas.Highly recommend!
I have been curious about sensory deprivation tanks/floating for some time, and I finally decided to just go for it! The staff person who showed me the room was very kind and helpful, I felt safe and relaxed the whole time I was floating, and I would absolutely go back. Plus, they offer deals for first-time customers. Ill definitely be going back!
After my infrared sauna appointments, I feel so relaxed but ready to take on my day. The staff are always friendly and helpful! Very clean facility, it always has been! I would highly recommend going to Awaken for Wellness for any service you need.
First timer for the float tank yesterday and it far surpassed my expectations! Super impressed with the staff as they are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Had a wonderful float experience and would recommend Awaken for Wellness to any and everybody!! As a physical therapist, I will be floating (pun intended) this idea by many of my patients as well!
Love the vibes in this place. The smell of essential oils is so calming it just melts away my stress as soon as I walk in. I always leave the sauna sessions feeling equally wrung-out and refreshed. I have chronic pain from an autoimmune disease and the sauna really helps with that.
Fantastic facility with amazing staff!Tried an isolation float tank for the first time and was blown away by how much it helped remove stress, the facility hosts both a float pod with controllable ambient lighting and a fully blacked out personal float room, as well as infrared saunas, and a full shelf of Onnit products and supplements. I will definitely be returning soon.
Professional. Medical techniques. Clean. Methodical. On time. Listen and follow with appropriate treatment. I signed up for an inappropriate massage for my ailment. The provider changed my order to the appropriate one even though it was a less expensive and shorter time frame. Very impressive. I highly recommend an appointment with Ulises if you are wanting pain relief from a chronic medical condition.
I had my first float session here and it was the most phenominal thing that I have ever experienced. It took a little while to get used to being effortlessly suspended in the water and not needing to support myself. But once i was able to relax I was at my most comfortable and relaxed state I have ever been at. Time seemed to stop, but at the same time, the 90 minute session was over before I knew it.The staff was amazing! Very informative and answered all questions before my float. After the float the staff was great! They seemed to enjoy hearing about my first float experience and where happy to answer the few questions that I had afterwards.Its hard to put the experience into words. This is something that you just need to experience for yourself.I am excited to go back for my second float and continue on with more in the future. Definitely something that I will be recommending to everyone i come across!
Ive now enjoyed 2 float sessions, a massage and an infrared sauna session at Awaken. All were fantastic and left feeling lighter and happier. The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. If youre looking for something to treat yourself to and help bring relief for joint issues and overall well being, check this place out - besides what Ive enjoyed, they have so much more and Im looking forward to checking it all out!
Shawn gave me one of the best massages Ive ever received! I usually book massages with whoever is available at Awaken because everyone is good. But I will be returning to Shawn because he was able to locate and release my knots better than anyone! Glad to have him in the neighborhood!
I wasnt sure what to expect. Great reviews on Google dont always ring true. Erin was very welcoming, kind and made me feel much better. I look forward to taking a sauna and having more massages in the future.
I went here today on 1-9-19 for my first professional massage with Jesse. I was really nervous at first, but when I walked in, the staff immediately made me feel welcome and at ease, and it was a very friendly and calming atmosphere. Jesse was wonderful, easing my nervousness effortlessly as he talked me through the process and encouraged my feedback for pressure and location to focus on. I felt so relaxed and I felt like my voice was being listened to. I was able to talk to Jesse throughout the massage and ask questions about other types of massages and other services, which he answered honestly and openly, without pressuring me to buy anything. I felt like I was in good hands of someone who truly loves what they are doing and who knows the impact that his work has on his clients. I am eager to go back, as I sit here typing this review without the back pain I had gotten so used to living with. Everyone should get a massage. This place is a great place to start, with a great deal for first time clients. Finally, Jesse went the extra mile in hearing my complaints and learning about my lifestyle, and he gave me recommendations for exercising and stretching to strengthen my back and relieve the tension that brought me in. You will not regret trying it out!
Great deal for first time customers. I visited for their infrared sauna. Inside was very clean, staff were friendly and informative and overall it was a very relaxing experience. I came in only intending to do one visit and come back as needed, but the special for 5 visits was too good to pass up.
Every time I get a massage I have seen Rachel. She is personable, professional, and wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable about how to keep the body healthy and makes every visit comfortable. I do not want anyone else. She has healing hands that you can feel better instantly. The atmosphere at Awaken is pleasant, calm, and inviting. Would definitely recommend this place.
Kind and knowledge staff have assisted me both over the phone and in-person. Everything is very clean and the environment will soothe you as soon as you step through the front door. I’ve had nothing short of amazing visits at Awaken For Wellness and have recommended it to several of my friends and family, who have all had positive experiences as well. 12/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a much-needed relaxing time to decompress from the daily grind.
This was my first visit at Awaken for Wellness after a recommendation from a friend. I signed up for a visit with Trish for a 90 minute massage and I have never felt more comfortable with a deep tissue massage! COVID precautions were clearly outlined and followed, I was given plenty of time to adjust, and Trish checked in with me frequently - about the pressure, how I was feeling, etc. I felt so supported and I can still feel the positive results in my body days later. Looking forward to coming back soon!
Float was great! Nice pods! service good, but the shower was cold before float but got to tolerate level still cold but knowing I going into warm pod I dealt with it. After session shower was sooo cold couldn’t warm up in slightest so I said ok shower at home I guess need to do errands but guess I will with salt water hair haha. Got dressed asked staff for hair dryer they don’t have any?? That’s weird.. wont return because of those two things. Freezer cold shower and no hair dryer.
I have always considered massage to be an important part of overall wellness so I have had massages of various types throughout the years. My massage with Rachel was hands down one of the best I have ever had. She was approachable, knowledgeable, professional and just plain good at what she does. Her passion for her profession is obvious. The other staff that were working were friendly and open and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Awaken for Wellness is special place and I will definitely be back.
I bought an introductory 90 minute float package. I am late in pregnancy and heard that floating with your baby can be an amazing experience. It was a nice experience and I really appreciated the discipline of it. On my second time I experienced the float cabin which I was a little dissapointed in as it had a horrible tick, tick , tick continuously happening...Really difficult to relax or allow the deep meditation to happen...that session was tough. On my 3rd session I was back in the pod which in my opinion is more enjoyable but I kept getting drips of water falling on my face and body throughout the session. Overall positive with a couple of annoyances!!!
A friend and I went to do a float session here and it was cool! The facility was clean, professional and most importantly.. peaceful! The staff was very informative and polite as well. We had no idea how that all worked so we have many questions and were kind of lost but they guided us right throught it.
This is an amazing place! Have been using the IFR saunas at Awaken for Wellness for almost 2 years. The facilities are clean and regularly updated. The staff members are amazing. Luke, Bridget & Ben especially have been wonderful and supportive. Never had any issues resolving any billing or scheduling matters. They do not try to sell you extra products-- which I really, really appreciate! IFR sauna has been a major support in my recovery from a debilitating illness. Wish I could say more! If you are thinking about trying saunas or floats, Id definitely recommend Awaken for Wellness!
I started doing the infrared sauna and I love it. Its relaxing and detoxing. The staff here is super nice and really answer your questions about anything. They also have massage therapy and a float tank (looking forward to trying this!) There is parking off the street in marked spaces. I also like they are open until 9 pm and have online scheduling.
The staff is fabulous! They care about your experience and check in with you to make sure you had a great experience. They made the experience exceptional. So that is why I gave them a 5. If you want a great experience please go and have the experience. You won’t regret it!
This was my first time floating and it was quite an amazing experience. I have never felt such a sensation, I am definitely coming back! Gracie was an excellent host.
We are talking Hudson here. Staff is cool as they come. Super clean facility. Float is totally private and perfect for whatever experience youre looking for. Bring a device if you want your sounds. IR sauna is also a clean machine. Super relaxing. I look forward to returning and will definitely get a friend or two involved. Bring some water. Cya.
I see Marcis Laffey for massage and my quality of life has improved immensely. I haveIncreased mobility and all round better senseOf we’ll being.At this point i feel better just driving by Awaken!The sauna is great!Top notch staff!Another 90 minute massage from Marcia at Awaken on St.Clair and I feel SOOOOO good! Thank you AWAKEN FOR WELLNESS🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎Another healing massage yesterday w Marcia Laffey. She keeps me mobile. Thank you SO much! You’ve also got GREAT staff at the front desk now. I look forward to seeing them⭐️
Highly recommend this facility - everyone should try the float tank at least once (and not its not a bath.) I did a Sauna, Massage and Float Tank session here two days ago and I still feel relaxed and de-stressed. The staff is super friendly and helpful if its your first time using a float tank.
The ability to have an after hours appointment. The help of the staff once they arrived. The whole experience of the sauna and cold plunge tub as well as the wonderful atmosphere of the place is so calming and peaceful.
Did a float and it was incredible. In 3rd trimester and it really helped with the aches and pains. The facility is clean, attendants are cheerful and helpful. I recommend the larger pod so you can bounce about inside . I got a 90 min session and it felt like 3 hours and was heavenly. You dont need to come with shampoo, bodywash, or conditioner. I recommend bringing your loofah or whatever it is you use. Just dont forget whatever you use to moisturize your body/skin (lotion). I will definitely look into booking a monthly subscription.
The float cabin is amazing! Spacious enough for my claustrophobic self to handle and the relaxation feels great. Super helpful to reduce fibromyalgia flare ups.
The massage therapists I have met here are hands down some of the best in the city. I am a true fan of Benjamins and Ayanos talents. They have helped me through some tough neck/back stiffness and aches. Every time, I walk away healed and rejuvenated. They also document after each session, so they can track your problem areas/how you respond to treatments.The center is very client-oriented and exudes a cheerful and healing ambience the moment you walk in. The owner Chris and manager Erin, are so welcoming and I can usually book same day appointments for massage and in-fared sauna. This is unreal!! You cant get service like this any where else. Believe me, I have tried.I am an advocate of supporting local businesses. Especially ones that are community-oriented and commit to their services with integrity and excellence. Awaken for Wellness is a true center for health and wellness from their services to their staff! I highly recommend this place. Prices are affordable too!
This is a fantastic place for all your wellness needs. Initially came in to get a massage. After 2 sessions with Lisa my neck and back have never felt better. Friendly and knowledgable staff that make you feel very comfortable. After learning about all the other services from Bridget at the front desk. I am now floating, something I would highly recommend!
I love Awaken! I came for the massages but have also tried the saunas and am interested in giving the float tanks a try. Prior to coming here, I had a lot of headaches and muscle pain from my active lifestyle but a lot of that tension has been released since I became a regular client. Overall a great spa experience that I highly recommend to everyone.
Awaken is a well run facility. Its clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I especially love warming up in a sauna during the colder season. I have enjoyed great massages and Mollys facials are a real treat.
I was very impressed that they were able to accommodate me on a walk-in basis on a Saturday. I was having a hard time finding an appointment, and my need was urgent due to sudden extreme pain in my back and neck.The rate was very reasonable; I got a 20% discount for my first visit. The interior was very comfortable and relaxing. The massage therapist, Chris, gave me great information about what he was doing and how it was supposed to benefit me. He was very thorough and the massage ran past the 1 hour I paid for. When he was finished, I felt much better. My neck that I couldnt move without pain before the massage was greatly loosened up.I intend to go back to see Chris, who is the owner of the clinic. I might also use some of their other offered services.I would recommend this place if you seek relief for your pain.
Marcia is fantastic but unfortunately the business is terrible. They never answer the phone or respond to text “chats”. When they call you, they are rude. And I was charged $50 for a late-cancel when I woke up with a 102° fever, sore throat, cough, body aches (according to the receptionist, you are expected to show up if you have COVID). Not a business I can support - I’m not going to expose a masseuse to COVID or any other virus under threat of financial penalties.
Easy 5 Star experience.I’m a tough customer - and my Massage (From Lisa) was outstanding. She did a quick intake asking about my pain points and we quickly decided for an hour focused on those areas. Not like some places where they ask you questions then just do the standard full body massage. Lisa customized the session for my specific needs Neck and Low back this time. She also use a combination of deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release techniques that rivaled some of my chiropractic visits. I’d highly recommend a visit to Awaken and a massage from Lisa
Friendly knowledgeable staff, made me feel very comfortable and confident after explaining everything before my first float cabin experience. Appointment was on schedule/on time.
Booked the float pod for 90 minutes. Ben was thoughtful and really helpful. I highly recommend using AFW for your wellness needs. Great customer service and great services offered. If youre interested in operating at peak performance, use this place to get you there. This is also where the NFL teams came this winter to stay in tip-top shape. Cheers!
I have had a number of wonderful massages from Said, and I recommend him highly. I especially appreciate that he begins every massage with light to medium pressure. Many of the massages I have had over the years (in other places) have seemed to leap right into deep pressure, which I find only makes me tense up more. With Said, there is an easy ramp-up to deep pressure, almost without me being aware of it. He is very skilled and has been working with me on shoulder /back pain, among other issues. He is a very good listener, and tailors the massage to what I need and ask for. I also really like the staff, especially Luke (I may have his name wrong -- hes usually there on Sunday afternoons.) :) They are warm and helpful people. I have also used the infrared sauna. It is very cool (natch).
Nice facility and staff. Used the float tank. Half way through someone was banging on the area above me. Was echoing through the water and sound was amplified compared to when I took out the ear plugs to listen. The banging went on for a long time. Felt more agitated than relaxed at the end of the session. They really need to have float tank where no one else is present. They amplify sound like a bathtub under water.
I booked a cbd message with Shawn and he did an amazing job. I had a great experience and all the staff are very friendly 😊 and the environment was comfortable!
The management did a really great job of responding to my review. They apologized and insisted on providing a better experience. I appreciated how quickly they reached out and how important overall consumer satisfaction is.I did not have an enjoyable experience. It was amazing how stressed and frustrated I was at a time I was supposed to be the opposite. Long story short it was not good. I had signed up for a 90 minute CBD massage (only reason I picked that facility) and received an 80 minute awkward regular massage. They gave me a free float but I do not plan to come back.
Absolutely love the infrared saunas! In my opinion, the infrared saunas are my most effective and favorite form of self care second only to exercise! Wonderfully accommodating staff, flexible booking options on the Mind Body app, and always an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend taking advantages of at least one of their services—I discovered the infrared saunas via Groupon 5 years ago and never stopped using them!
First time Floater. Staff was exceptional and made me feel very welcomed. I will be signing up for a membership next month and become a regular at your St. Paul location. I have recommended your services to many friends and family who will be giving you guys their business.
I enjoyed my visit to the salt room at Awaken for Wellness and highly recommend it. It was such a relaxing experience that I stayed longer than I had planned.The staff is friendly and informative and the center is so comfortable and clean.I left feeling invigorated and healthy. Ill be back!
We wanted to spa a little for our anniversary, so it was great to be able to sauna together and then split up for a flotation tank and massage, respectively. We left feeling happily like buttery noodles which made our staycation feel more vacation-y!
I love the saunas at Awaken for Wellness! I used to work at a holistic health center in Colorado where I regularly used infrared saunas. I became accustomed to the benefits. When I moved to Minnesota I checked out the saunas at Awaken for Wellness and they were amazing!!! Very spacious and were more sensitive at controlling temperature. Love the benefits of regular sauna use; detoxification, increased metabolism and clear skin. Enjoy :-)
Really awesome visit!! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. I had Katy for my message and she sat down with me and we talked about my life style and habits and what I wanted her to focus on. Then it was the most amazing message, firm but not painful. Afterwards we talked again and she gave me a lot of stretches and other methods I can use to reduce muscle pain. It was a much better experience than a regular spa because there was way more dialogue and it felt like I was really part of a process.
First visit, Shawn freed my left leg from an unbearable tightness Ive been experiencing for months. I was able to walk, stand, and enjoy the MN State Fair, disc golf, and regular golf in the next three days after my first session. Thank you Shawn!
I just enjoyed my third float and each time gets better. If you have never experience a float and are curious, I encourage you to give it a try. If you have experienced a float and its been awhile it might be time to test the waters again. The staff is great, extremely kind and helpful.
This is my favorite place to float right now, their large tank is great. Its big enough to fully extend your arms and legs out. My only criticism is the air can get a little chilly after about an hour in there, so when you open the door, try not to let the hot air escape. Otherwise this place is really cool.
This is for the Hudson location. Very clean, staff is very nice. Fantastic saunas and float tanks.The St . Paul location I would give a lower rating because a couple of the saunas are old and dont work very well.
The experience was wonderful I enjoyed the Sauna and plan on coming back defiantly worth it loved it
So happy to have finally given into my curiosity and made an appointment for a massage at Awaken. Marcia is in.cred.i.ble and I feel so much better after seeing her twice. Shes pinpointed issues I didnt know I had, so that Im standing taller, feeling much less tight and sore in my back, and suffering from fewer headaches. I also really enjoyed a 30 minute session in the infrared sauna - from which Bridget (the really great person at the front desk) told me my skin (among many other things) would greatly benefit. So glad to have found this place.
My first time back since my pre-COVID era visit and I was pleasantly surprised on the improvements. Easy booking, attentive and knowledgeable staff and nice amenities in my sauna room. Can’t wait to go back.
My first float! Hudson location. Amazing experience and Ill do it again soon. Also had a massage with Adam. He was wonderful and I felt great after. I highly recommend this place.
The whole staff at Awaken is amazing! Im a Pilates instructor and personal trainer and I send all of my clients there. And, I wouldnt go anywhere else either. Ive seen many massage therapists in my day (many great ones) and Chris is by far my favorite for what I specifically need for my body. But again, the entire staff is terrific. They do a phenomenal job and really care to help people get out of pain, reduce stress and get on a better physical path. They are passionate and invested in clients as well which I respect and appreciate.
Phenomenal massage experience with Adam at the Hudson location. He asked questions before the session to find out my particular concerns and needs. Then, during the session, he addressed those needs. Left feeling relaxed, and much of the tension I had come in with had dissipated. Adam was very personable, and took the time to learn of my particular needs. I am rescheduling my next session now!
Awaken for Life! If you want healthy, natural healing, this is the place for you. Pod float is beyond words. Felt like an out of body experience. this same treatment is used by the most elite athletes and positive they pay a lot more than what you will here. Going to try the open pool float next as I I think my allergies made it harder to breathe in the Pod. Feels like zero gravity. The next day my wife and I enjoyed the Infrared Sauna. Top notch equipment and we both felt rejuvenated after. Sarah and Lydia are both very kind,sweet and make the experience very pleasant. Hudson is lucky to have such a forward thinking place to decompress and heal your mind, body and soul. Not to mention their prices are affordable and have some terrific options for all as for all parts of natural healing, you can’t just go once and expect your body to stay healthy. We are doing the membership plan. Try it out and you will not be disappointed. I felt like I was at a high end private spa retreat. My masseuse from WOODBURY mentioned this place to me a year or so ago and I kept forgetting. Then my coworker told me about his next door neighbor owned AFW and opened a location in Hudson which is just over a mile away from us. How ironic! The Wellness Gods are watching over us for sure. For those who may have worry or anxiety, trust me this place is well thought out and if you have any issue, the staff will help and resolve while you are there. For those who cannot speak up there and rate 3 stars over not prepping you for flip flops is insane.
I have been receiving massage from Eleanor for the past few months, and want to say that she is an excellent massage therapist. After my first visit, my sciatic pain had all but disappeared! She is gentle, but firm and strong, and seems to have an intuitive nature about what areas might need work. She seems to be completely present with me and my body, and helps me to be present also, which enhances the healing. Thank you, Eleanor and Awaken for Wellness!
Very well run day spa. I like the all the services under one roof. Well put together, relaxing and clean.Jamie is one of the best massage therapists Ive been to - incredibly intuitive, very strong but not painfully piercing like most, and highly knowledgable.Ive been getting a massage a week for years and have been to some of the most renowned therapists around the country - Jamie is top ten easily!
I went floating 2x. 1st was the pod. Ok. Could hear sounds outside the room and the pod was a bit cramped if your tall like me (6ft)and want to put your arms over your head. So next was the float room. Very large you could get lost in there. I was more likely to leave with hypothermia. Was only my 3rd float so I didnt realize the cold water danger and why the touch screen interface doesnt have a temperature read out.. Bad engineering. Such an easy add on. I wont be back. I did battle through my 90 min session to make close to 60 before leaving. I feel robbed. I paid money to leave worse. I even waited over 24 hours to make sure I wasnt getting a cold. That was my first thought getting into the float room with the cold water. Heater blasting my ride home I returned to regular temp but still. Thats my experience, Im sure others had it better.
Awaken For Wellness is my go to for first rate float tank experience! The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is very chill. I recommend a float experience to anyone and Awake For Wellness is in my opinion the place to go!
Krista L is exceptional. It was a very healing and therapeutic massage experience. Thank you Awaken For Wellness, I am happy to be back after a two year covid break. You are a gem in our neighborhood!
Top-notch massage from Danielle! Depending on the season, Ive been running 35-55 miles a week for years and have had many massages at different places - gyms, chiro offices, massage-specific providers to stay healthy. This was one of the best, if not THE best, of all of them. I am so happy to have found great skill in a comfortable place right in my neighborhood!
Just had my first float at the STP location. Amazing experience! I will definitely be returning for more!
Wonderful wellness center. I’ve had great massages here, used their IR saunas too, and always found the staff to be so helpful, friendly, and kind. A very luxurious experience, whatever service you’re going for.
This place is amazing! The staff really cares and knows what they are doing. I had a frozen shoulder, neck and back. In one treatment Im back to normal. I went to doctors, specialists and even other massage places and nothing. One massage here and I am a new man. I have multiple back injuries from sports and the creative out-side the box thinking, is what sets them apart, from any other place Ive been. I have tried everything and I cant say enough about my experience!Thank You!!!Reed Trafton
Massage therapist is incredible. Facility (specifically downstairs massage room) is lovely, relaxing, comfy and clean. Friendly front desk.
Shawn was a great masseur. He understood what was bothering me and adapted his technique accordingly. His music was great as well. I look forward to going back to him again.
I love the float therapy! It is amazing! I have chronic pain and this helps so much. Its so relaxing and brings an inner calm peace. For 90-minutes NO PAIN! Complete relaxation. Like your floating on a cloud...complete weightlessness.
First float experience was absolutely fantastic. Ben walked me through the process and aleviated any fears I might have had. Time stood still 90 minutes went by too fast. Slept better that night than I had in months. Looking forward to my next float very soon.
Outstanding experiences in the float tank. Deepest meditative states I have ever reached capped off by the empathetic and experienced staff that seems to be just as excited to be apart of your personal wellness journey as I am. Kuddos.
Best infrared sauna experience Ive had in the twin cities and at the lowest price, plus I can bring a friend in for only $10 extra!Clearlight infrared saunas and Netflix/Pandora in two of the three rooms, I believe all three have speakers for music. Really cant beat the price. With additional charge for towel service and for an extra person it was still the same price as a single session at any other place Ive been to, and those only had a CD player at best for entertainment.Considering trying out a float tank session next!
Floatation Therapy ( Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), is immensely beneficial. I experienced my first Float on Feb 18th for 90 Mins. Within those 90 mins, I experienced complete calming of the whole endocrine system. In addition, I observed that breathing became deep and slow, thoughts settled down, experienced rhythmic and harmonic heart beats and a wonderful relationship the body has with the breath, and the breath to thoughts (mind). It was complete experience of pure bliss.I am happy that I was able to do my first float with Awaken For Wellness. I find that everyone (all the staff) are very friendly, very calm, warm and extremely welcoming. I will definitely be sharing about my experience with family and friends and encourage them to try floating at Awaken For Wellness.Thankyou Folks at Awaken For Wellness. I look forward to my next float, and beyond.ThanksMuniesh
I have done therapeutic floats at Awaken and recently had a massage with Shawn, which was excellent. I recommend Awaken!
It was my first time at awaken for wellness and the room was ready to go when I got there. The staff were super nice and informed after I was done with the sauna and helped me choose some products as well as programs that for my needs.
My new favorite place, it allows you to compete escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The float tanks are just what one would expect, extremely clean, calm, dark, and quiet. The sauna and salt therapy rooms are great too. Some come with large smart Tvs that give you access to things like YouTube, Netflix, Spotify to relax in the infrared heat and salt air. If you like yoga this is an amazing place to get a deep, relaxing stretch.
Ben and Chris were great! They made us feel welcomed and well informed.We are a couple from 5 hours away celebrating our 8th anniversary.After watching YouTubes Good Mythical Morning that featured sensory deprivation tanks, we started the search for great places to float near MOA.Awaken did not disappoint.
I interviewed with Chris the owner and bodywork therapist there for bodywork, and although I didnt land the job this time, he gave me valuable practical feedback and wanted to connect me to another employee who he thought I should meet and connect with. His philosophy was that its all about growth, referring to self and living relations. I share this philosophy, so there was core agreement. On top of connections and feedback, he also welcomed me to come in for a complimentary float session, and boy was I stoked for that!I went in today for the float. The receptionist had me fill out some intake files before instructing me on how the session goes and how to use the tank in the tank room. All good. Clean room. Very simple yet elegant functional design of the space, with ove the top hanging square shower head, shampoo soap and conditioner provided. I only needed to use the soap for pre-cleanse, and it smelled amazing. There is a very calming and serine peaceful azure teal blue green led light set behind some hanging white transparent cloth blinds to cover the utility plug and control space where the tank rests its back end opposite of the entry. Free silicone putty ear plugs are provided for use. There is a light with low and high setting available to turn on my remote that is stored in a waterproof sealed bag that can be used to control from within the float tank. I shimmied on in, and away I went, to bliss and healings end! 90 minutes to a chime notification, and also a knock by hand for those who cant hear or discern the noise. I did not hear the first, so thankfully I heard the knock. Wow. I felt so amazing. Depressurized ane recharged and realigned. Incredible healing from breathing and inner reviewal in the float of darkness. Generous guy! Thanks for the free float. Introductory special rates are nice. 65 for first 90m session or 125 for two 90m sessions including the first. I definitely recommend it and will be back when able.
Ive done the float tank, sauna, and massage and loved them all.Awaken for Wellness has excellent staff, a clean & inviting atmosphere, and great services.
Awaken for Wellness is a rare patch of light and warmth on my otherwise icy St Paul itinerary. Its one of my only saving graces since I moved (reluctantly, rightly) to the Midwest from ever-temperate California (the SF Bay Area by way of Los Angeles) for professional reasons and promptly got sick (or more accurately, the job plus the cold promptly made me sick). Ive spent the past year and a half plus searching for any sort of (Western) medical relief the Twin Cities and surrounding area have to offer, paying ludicrous amounts on taxi rides through the tundra, which is untraversable by bus, all to no avail. In fact, I just got sicker from these costly visits. Though they reckoned I might be the incipient stages of an autoimmune disease, Id exhausted myself in months of appointments and referrals and had no course of treatment and no hope for recovery in sight. Finally, I met Barb at Merriam Park Acupuncture--my other saving grace--who listened to me compassionately, reviewed my symptoms thoroughly, and had enough of a sense of what I was up against (in terms not fully legible in a Western-medical idiom) to put me on a long-term detox plan, including continuous cleanses, radical dietary changes, and a hearty suggestion to head to the sauna on a regular basis so I could sweat out the many environmental toxins making me sick. A quick Google search sent me but a few blocks away from the campus on which I teach to Awaken for Wellness, where I spent my first half hour under infrared lights, in August 2014. Ive been going back on a regular basis since then, and seven months later have an unlimited membership so I can go as close to every day as possible. Ive had wonderful experiences in all of the infrared rooms, far and full spectra, and have learned a lot in my interactions before and after with the delightful, energetic, knowledgable staff. And theyre as passionate as they are compassionate, always there to listen to your health concerns, answer your questions, and recommend a course of treatment in house. The owner Chris is especially excellent on this end. Talk to him if you have a chance. And the sauna itself has been a lifesaver for me, physically and psychologically. It definitely has cosmetic benefits (my skin, which was hugely impacted by my chronic systemic illness, has greatly improved with each successive visit from the first trip on!); but it also has deep and holistic healing effects, from the skin on in, from head to feet. Ive taken many a friend here with me, and even gotten some introductory deals for new customers, and they all love it as much as I do...which brings me to the only point of hesitation I have in writing a glowing review for Awaken for Wellness: Im worried too many people will find out what a fantastic place this is and then theyll snatch up all my appointment slots! Until that terrifying time comes, I plan on heading back every day because its the only thing (beside Barb) that makes me feel better and gives me hope this illness might be livable if not overcome. Its hands-down my favorite thing about living in St Paul!
Rachel was a fantastic massage therapist who communicated clearly and worked with me to address my needs. She also provided me with helpful aftercare tips and advice for minimizing future tension. I highly recommend Rachel & Awaken, and will be back again soon!
I love this place! Super helpful and friendly staff.. clean and organized! Amazing health benefits from the saunas!
Great place to be! Love using their infrared saunas. Every time I get a massage I’m always SO impressed. Great staff, always working to make your experience the very best it can be.
A wonderful place in a great neighborhood.My experience, even before arriving, (ie: setting the appointment, etc.) was very positive, with the stff being so friendly and helpful. Luke and Chris up front were great, and Ann, the massage therapist does a wonderful job. Very comfortable, and such a wide range of services. This place will be around for a while!
My first experience with sensory deprivation did not go well. Getting over a cold, my nose was stuffy but thankfully not running. When I was shown the room with my float tank, I thought I smelled something fowl but couldnt be sure. The front desk assistant additionally removed a piece of broken caulk found at the bottom of my tank. After my tank session was over, the angel of the room over powered me: locker room. I couldnt shower and leave fast enough.
First time, had a great experience in the float tank. It took a little time to get use to. The place was clean and professional people explained everything. We will do it again!
Staff and amenities are TOP NOTCH! Reasonable prices and appt availability meet expectations. Very cozy, clean and calming atmosphere/facility. One of my favorite wellness spas in the twin cities.
The gal who helped me was very nice and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxing . My experience was amazing. I love the services and products offered. The pricing is affordable. I will definitely return and I am considering a membership.
Was trying to book several services for me and my husband for our anniversary getaway and both the web page and the app are awful!! Not user friendly at all!! Very frustrating.
Everything about this place was wonderful. The front desk staff was kind and very knowledgeable, my massage was fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be back to try the float tank someone soon!
It was easy to schedule and Marcia did a great job with my massage. I feel so much better today.
Love love love! Great space, peaceful vibes, kind and professional staff, excellent products and services and reasonably priced. I have saunaed and been massaged and I already bought packages! Even buying gifts cards for family!
Yesterday I had the best massage Ive ever had after one of the worst weeks Ive ever had. The masseuse Ulises was incredible both at the massage and at talking me through a hard learning experience. Ill be back again!
Love this place! The staff is great, and the infrared sauna was so cleansing, healing, and relaxing. I recommend them to anyone who will listen. I will be back as soon as I can! Stay righteous yall.
I have the BEST massages at Awaken, life altering.I can’t recommend it enough.Thank you Chris Richmond, Marcia Laffey and my fave desk person Nichol!Infrared sauna—DO IT!
Ben really did an amazing job at catering to my specific needs. He got to know that I have been a workout fan for many years and have always been a tight guy in anatomical/muscular terms. He worked all of my knots out, knots I thought I would have never had. He is really worth going to and spending the money if you are currently a workout finatic.
Fantastic massage with Kata. Very knowledgeable and did a great job getting to the source of my muscle tightness rather than just what I thought my symptoms were. Addressed all the connections that needed attention, and my muscles are so much happier.
Adjustments for health and safety were clear and accessible throughout the clinic, and the service and Erin were wonderful! I felt so much better after my session.
Absolutely love this place. The salt cave plus infrared sauna is amazing. My sinuses and lungs have never been so clear. I feel energized. Cant wait to go again.
LOVE this place!! New Client deals are great! Massages are great! Staff is friendly! What more could you ask for. I’d recommend the massage room with the salt wall. Great vibes.
Lisa was lovely and gave me lots of advice about how to take care of myself! The reception staff was also super kind and respectful on COVID regulations. Very nice facilities as well!
A must when I make it back home. Usually use the infrared saunas but every once and a while have to get a massage here! A+ rating all around from the staff, to the cleanliness, to the experience.
The staff are very welcoming and professional. It was my first time booking for a sauna and they were very helpful and informative! Would highly recommend to anyone in need of relaxation!
You are missing out if you have not yet been to Awaken. The folk there are friendly and kind. In world where kindness is rare I totally appreciate transparent service. They emulate compassion and goodness. The massages are to live for (TLF) !!!
Went to the Hudson Wi location. Staff was super friendly and had an amazing 90 min massage. Will be recommending Sierra to all my friends. Cant wait to go back!!!
I really enjoyed the float therapy. The gentleman at the reception was friendly and explained the float session really well since this was my first time. All in all a great experience.
First time using the float tank and it was so amazing! Clean facility and a super sweet staff! I was so comfortable and will definitely be coming back to float again!
I am so excited about this place. I had the BEST experience, the staff was very knowledgeable and the facility was super clean and welcoming. Awaken For Wellness has changed my mindset on Minnesota winters, and Im now looking forward to the cold.
I’ve been going to the sauna every other day for a week and I feel great! Plus warms me up and boosts my mood on these bitter cold temps.
I used the floating thank with Epsom salt at their place. I wish they would have told me about bringing flip-flops. The promo for couples is great and would suggest this place after a long hard day
Erin was amazing, I felt so relaxed after her massage. She even managed to get me to stop thinking about work, school, etc etc for 45 minutes of peace and calm. Thank you!
I have been using saunas for years but this is so much better due to the higher heat, the privacy, the infrared light, the online scheduling. Its like you thought of everything, even a shower available.
I had a wonderful massage by Adam last night! He focused on my problem areas and even found some others I didnt know about. haha I purchased my next session and will be going back soon!
The float tanks at Awaken are a premium experience: equipment, setting, instruction.. all amazing. Will be checking out other services from this place!
Did a 90 min float was an interesting experience clean very helpful workers nice place
Ive been going to Awaken for a little over a year now. I decided to do what I call the Awaken Trifecta (90 min float, 50 min UV bed, and 1hr massage) do yourself a favor and do that once a month! Its the only place in town to have access to such a killer service....keep up the good work Awaken!
Nice quiet location, great friendly service. Float tank is incredible. One of the best experiences of my life. Ill be a regular from now on. Definitely recommend.
Love the healing effects of the infrared saunas! For optimal health, its amazing. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Really friendly staff. Facility is super clean and very peaceful. Float experience was phenomenal, with a great orientation and a really great set up.
Love the float pod. Its so nice to come out afterwards feeling completely serene & tranquil. Staff make the space very comfortable and user friendly.
Erin was amazing. She has a beautiful smile and approach as well. I will come back again.
Very nice space. Comfortable and large sauna to relax. 60-minute appointment window so you can take your sweet time. Exceptional quality and value.
Im too relaxed from my appointment to leave a more articulate response. Erin is a great massage therapist and is able to break down and deeply hidden knots.
Awakening wellness is great place I feel exited and relax. Staff are welcoming and environment is very calm and relaxing. I love the place.
Did the Salt Room with my daughter. We really enjoyed it. A great time to connect and relax together!
If you are an endurance athlete/Ironman competitor or Marathoner/Ultramarathon runner, you should be hitting a Infrared Sauna for your recovery. I have tried many different types of recovery for my body over the past 15 years of training/racing. The IR Sauna has given me the best result for my recovery. The flush and boost it gives my legs is truly remarkable and worth the investment.
