Healing Arts Day Spa - Mesa

I would highly recommend The Healing Arts Day Spa over any other spa in Phoenix and surrounding areas. They not only offer fantastic prices and unbeatable packages, but they bring to the table a wealth of knowledge and education to make them the best at what they do. Today I had the "Pamper Me" package, which i could choose 3 full 60-minute treatments from a long list of options (FOR ONLY $149...WHO CAN BEAT THAT PRICE?!?) I chose to have two massages, a hot stone massage and a deep tissue massage, and a full body herbal linen wrap. My session started off with meeting the wonderful Terrell. We chatted for a few minutes about the different treatments, questions, problematic areas, and she offered me some suggestions. Not only did she explain to me the flow of the session (with an extremely educational, and very courteous reasoning, I mean who wants to get off the bed three times during relaxation mode?), but she threw in a COMPLIMENTARY FACIAL!! AMAZING! My session began with the Herbal Linen Wrap, which Terrell explained to me in full detail. She offered to add Aloe to the treatment depending on my comfort level while i was wrapped up (the aloe was a nice add). She customized the herbs and essential oils to my liking and I was comfortably wrapped up nice and warm. A very lovely experience for my first body wrap! During the time i was in the wrap she gave me a complimentary facial using an awesome organic line called Jurlique. Smelled great and my skin is glowing! She went a step further with the neck and shoulders massage that is customary with a facial; she opted to work on the major knots and tension in my upper back/neck and did a lot of trigger point work. Not only did it feel awesome, but it basically added an additional half hour of massage to my package! Terrell moved from the wrap into my two hour massage session with an ease and flow that only an experienced professional can. She used different techniques to alleviate the knots and tension in my shoulders, lower back, and hips. For the entire session she used the hot stones along with the deep tissue techniques, and added some stretching and reflexology. It was honestly the best massage Ive ever had!! Terrell made me feel truely "Pampered" and was very friendly, she really knows her stuff!. Make A Healing Arts Day Spa your first choice for relaxation! more

Quite frankly I have no idea how they are able to offer full 60 minute and full 90 minute massage sessions and still @ their same rates since 1998. Think about it, over 12 years now! Seriously, I HATE going to places that advertise 1 hour and then once you arrive it's ACTUALLY 50 minutes!!! The key to getting a GREAT MASSAGE @ The Healing Arts is keep trying different Massage Therapists, they have 20 or so, until you find the one that you enjoy and then make sure you get a massage at least once per month. It's the same arangement that I've had with my barber in Tempe, Roger, for over 18 years now. It's called INVESTING in a relationship . . . which few people understand how to do these days. Otherwise known as lazy. :~) Vaughn more

This was by far the worst massage I have ever had. The therapist was unprofessional. Not only was the technique not what I would like, she was smacking her gum the ENTIRE time. So not relaxing. I went in with a terrible headache and she spent NO time on my head, neck or shoulders. She rushed through the entire massage, spent 20 min on my feet and ended the massage 10 min early. When I called the next day to speak with the owner/manager I was unable to get a hold of him. My calls were never returned. Big waste of money! more

Nice experience every time and the services are a full hour. None of the 50 minute stuff. Those extra 10 minutes really make the difference. The massage tables are very comfortable and the aroma throughout the spa is lovely. Have been to both locations. Talked my husband into getting a facial & massage and he loved it. Now he wants to go all the time. Pros: Full 60 minute treatments Cons: None more
