I decided to give this massage business a try and so glad I did!! Cassie worked on me and helped get knots and tightness smoothed out. The building and rooms were quiet and peaceful. It felt comfortable and professional. She made sure the pressure was good consistently throughout the massage. You only dress down to your comfort level and are modestly covered the whole time. I received an aftercare card so I can be sure to continue to take care of myself after the massage in order to reap the full benefits of the massage. I would highly recommend Essence of Massage for anyone in need or even considering massage. It is beneficial and worth it.

Brian, owner and lead massage therapist at Essence of Massage & Bodywork, takes immense pride in his growing business. He genuinely cares not only about the comfort of his clients, but also about their long-term healing through knowledgeable and effective application of fantastic techniques. If one listens carefully, Brian can be heard softly "talking" with the body he is working on. It's quite amazing how he and the body communicate with one another to find just what's needed in just the right way to bring comfort and healing. Brian's work is based on kindness, understanding, professionalism, and expert skill. He loves helping, and it shows through every minute of his sessions. Follow-up review November 1, 2023: It's been almost a year now that Brian has been providing me his amazing massage therapy techniques, and they continue to consistently astonish me with their effectiveness. Over several weeks this year, I had to endure a quite painful shoulder, but with seemingly endless techniques, tools, and personal determination, Brian has patiently and skillfully returned it to almost full functionality. In fact, the rest of its healing lies in my own hands with the exercises, stretching, and simple heat/cold therapy he taught me to do at home. Brian can perform any level and style of massage a person could want, but what truly sets this dedicated therapist apart from so many others is his sole focus on achieving results. He cares deeply ... he listens attentively ... and he works so diligently to achieve his fantastic results. I encourage anyone reading this review to give such a gifted massage therapist a try and see for yourself.

Brian is one of the best massage therapists I have had in my 30 years of getting body work. Structural massage is new to me, and after the initial discomfort of the first session I have found subsequent treatments to be much more pleasant. I think any other massage would be disappointing after this, but it does take some getting used to. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Brian, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the experience. From the moment I stepped into his studio, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. Brian took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and understand my specific needs. It was evident that he tailors each session to address the individual requirements of his clients, and this personal touch made a significant difference in the effectiveness of the massage. He skillfully used various techniques to alleviate tension and promote relaxation. I had severe tightness is my shoulders and neck from work and he was the first person to ever relieve the pain. He created a soothing atmosphere, allowing me to fully unwind and let go of the stresses of everyday life. I left the session feeling lighter, more relaxed, and with a renewed sense of energy. If you are in need of a massage therapist who not only possesses exceptional skills but also genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Brian. Especially for deep tissue massage.

I was given a gift credit for Essence of Massage back in March. I prefer female masseuses so booked an appointment one. I got a message that I would be on a waiting list. Two months went by without a word from them. After that I checked to see if there was an opening with the therapist I had booked with, when I noticed all the female therapists were no longer there. I emailed Brian two times requesting a refund for the $120.00 gift certificate. He refused to issue a refund. I stopped in to the location and the doors were locked on a week day. Lights were on in the building. I sent a text message with no response. I have emailed Brian twice again with no further response via email. I have called him and got no answer. This is very unprofessional behavior. It is an kind of embezzlement of my funds.

Brian at Elite Massage and Body Work did such an amazing job. I’ve been to plenty of massage therapists and I feel like Brian is the only one who has actually helped me with my pain! When I first went to see him I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even sit comfortably. He was extremely knowledgeable and truly worked through my areas of concern. If you are someone who needs a massage to actually help your body feel physically better, he’s the guy you should go to!

Where do I begin… Brian is AMAZING! I’m from Las Vegas and have had many massages in my life all around the world, most being at the award winning Canyon Ranch, but never have I experienced anything quite as amazing as Brian’s work. From start to finish your entire session is off the charts. He is well educated and definitely helps get/keep your body on track. Not just the “feel good” massage, but the “I’M GOING TO HELP REPAIR YOU”. It’s like an incentivized massage as well with all the healthy knowledge he imparts on you, as well!

I had my massage done by Savannah. It was WONDERFUL! I've only ever had one other massage in my life and the experience wasn't great, but she showed me how amazing they can be! The room set up was very calming and she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The pressure used was perfect and I especially loved the hot stone massage. I'll be going to her again!

Went to this office having joint pain and tightness and had an appointment with Brian. He worked on very tight muscles that were causing the pain, and knew how everything was related and what bodywork was necessary to improve and regain the flexibility in my shoulder and other joints again like in the past. He did an excellent job, and compared to other massage therapists (and physical therapists for that matter) I have seen over the years he has outdone them. Great work and will be back to to see him to reduce pain and keep improving my physical health. Excellent job!!
