Was here a while back for a deep tissue massage. Loved the experience- excellent attention to detail and highly capable massage therapists. Well worth the price.

I've been here a handful of times now for a deep tissue massage and always had a very positive experience. I feel heard when I express my needs - everyone I've been worked on at this spa has taken me seriously. As a tattooer I have lots of upper body tension so this kind of care is very important to me.

From the start of the booking through the massage itself everything was done professionally. The manager Julie was able to schedule my massage within a week! On the day of my visit I completely the intake form and listed my area of attention and my goals. Michelle was my therapist. She was fantastic! I had an individualized one hour massage. All my problem areas were addressed. I felt great afterwards! I will be returning as it's only 1 mile from me! Thank you Julie and Michelle for a great experience! Love the atmosphere too!

Charged for full session despite not receiving a massage, completely unreasonable about appointment oversight, completely unwilling to do anything besides charge me the full fee for a massage I did not receive.cancellation policy not communicated verbally or ANYWHERE on their website. In response to the owner: I won't be getting a massage--probably for many more years, again--despite doing hard physical labor outside every day--because I cannot afford one usually.
This was a gift from my mother that you refused to even comp me part of or allow me to reschedule. It was an honest mistake and charging people over $100 for services not rendered without communicating that is the policy clearly is an extremely bad business practice, as is using the language of "taking care" and "being well" sarcastically in your obviously spiteful response.

Be Well is just the best. I'm fairly convinced Michelle is a witch (a good one) or at least a magician. Julie is always sweet and accommodating when I request appointments and during my post-massage haze while I chug water in the reception area. I have never actually reviewed anything online before but want to shout from the rooftops how incredible they are and how much they've improved my physical and mental well being.

Woke this morning with a migraine I couldn't break. Was unable to go to my usual massage therapist, but I was fit in today. Michelle did a great job-- I felt renewed and able to function! Thanks Michelle!
