"Love this place! They take such great care of you. I had a sweat wrap and a massage which was incredibly wonderful.If I lived here, I would be trying to come here every other day."
"I love this place! Both practitioners are excellent. The space is calm and inviting. All the staff are friendly and helpful. They also have a gut re-set group you can join!"
"Great downtown massage and reflexology that has yet to disappoint me. Reasonably priced, long hours, great atmosphere & staff. Whether you're alone or take your significant other/friend they have plenty of space. I recommend the 90 min Pampering Package. Trust me! Parking street side and remember to pay during business hours."
"First time visiting this location. Very convenient considering it's inside the mall.Very friendly staff but they speak broken English. It's not a problem as there's a laminated card counter that you order from. I asked for a 30-minute massage at a cost of $35.00 covering two areas. The female massage therapist was awesome! Very deep tissue massage. Even a bit painful, but it hurts so good. She followed a pattern on my neck, back, arms, and scalp. Very thorough. I believe they have privacy booths in the back for those who want a full body massage. Please check with the front desk counter when you arrive for clarification.The atmosphere was very calming. The lights are dimmed to provide a soothing atmosphere along with very quiet light music playing. My massage took place right behind the counter area in a massage chair. I was expecting a booth but considering it's just a neck and shoulder and back massage, it didn't really bother me to be upfront or others could see as they walk the mall.I will be going back possibly once a month as I enjoyed it and felt it was definitely worth the price. In fact, I left a hefty tip as I felt the massage therapist did a wonderful job."
"I loved my massage with Lauren. She checked in with me to make sure she was applying the right amount of pressure. My partner has tight muscles in his back and massages with Lauren get out his knots better that anything else he has tried, including physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and muscle relaxants. We both highly recommend Lauren."
"I love my massage therapist Shannon Goins. She's very informative about the massages she performs, she's very knowledgeable and great to talk to. I'm excited for my next session! She's one of the only people I've been able to find in town that know how to do post-operative massage. You won't be sorry if you decide to visit her."
"Sophia has been doing my massages for a few years now. She is professional, kind and affordable. Everytime I see her I know I will get a good massage. I have had a massage along with cupping on my shoulder as well. She always runs some sort of massage special too. Her establishment is very clean and relaxing. There is always some relaxing spa music playing when you walk in and during your service. This establishment does couples massage too. After any service Sophia meets you in the front with a cold bottle of water. If you are thinking about getting a massage, try this place. It will not disappoint."
"My husband was blessed to receive a gift card to Zenful, and after his appointment he surprised me and scheduled me an hour massage as well. I'm always a skeptic, but that's maybe because I have always gone to the places that have many offices around the nation. I don't want just a rub down. I like a good deep massage. Karen was AMAZING. I just kept thinking how wonderful it was. She knows exactly what she is doing and is so professional. She used the perfect combo of deep tissue massage and pressure to work on my back. Just when I thought it was over, she placed a hot towel on my feet that was scented with yummy aroma that just put the icing on the cake.Go see Karen. Not lying when I say she's the best. You will leave feeling amazing, and she really does go above and beyond."
"Had the most amazing massage from her. I was suffering from a rotator cuff injury and she not only relieved the pain but helped me feel better for days after and help my healing process come along. She really knows what she is doing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for effective body work for injuries or body pain."
"Spontaneously decided to get a massage while we were on vacation. I had some serious pain going on on my lower back and they definitely worked on it. They were so diligent and firm with their hands! The facility is very clean as well. I was very nervous if this was going to be a professional establishment but I assure you they were very much! They answered all my questions promptly when I called and they just really are super well rounded. Highly recommend!"
"This is a really great massage place I found through groupon. Jennifer, the owner gives excellent massages. Julie is also really good. It is a little hard to find as its in an a suite of office space and not really numbered clearly. It is not the fanciest environment, but its clean and welcoming. I really enjoyed my massage here both times I came and I plan to come again for my next massage."
"Jason is a wonderful massage therapist, and has a lovely touch and way with people. A friend recommended him, saying he might offer one of the best massages in Albuquerque. After my first session, I agreed! While I was reluctant to see a man, I found Jason to be friendly, grounded and very professional. He's also very present and caring. It's obvious he enjoys what he does. Besides massage, Jason has been trained in other complementary modalities. I also love the music he selects and the fact that he sometimes uses quality essential oils during the session. When I first met him, Jason was offering introductory prices and some packages. If you are looking for a great massage therapist in the Nob Hill area, I highly recommend him!"

New Mexico has no shortage of places to go sit in hot water in lovely scenery. But Albuquerque itself is pretty hard up for truly relaxing soak opportunities. When you can't make the drive to another part of the state, Betty's is where you want to be. It's one of those places that immediately feels relaxing as soon as you walk in the door. You want to say YES to the tea offered, and use all of their amenities - the soaps, shampoos, conditioner, lotions - all smell fabulous. Whether I've booked time to catch up with my girl friends, or am spending some quality time with the family, this is our go-to place.

Over the past two years I've spent my life at various appointments, trying anything and everything I could just to feel normal again. From my primary care physician to Rheumatologists and Orthopedic physicians none of them were able to do anything but mask my symptoms with prescriptions which only worked for a short period of time (if at all). I was extremely skeptical walking into my first appointment at Original Medicine... After all, everyone else had failed me! Today I can happily say that I feel 90% better after a few weeks of treatment. No one has been able to accomplish in 2 years what they're continuing to do each time I walk in that office. The added benefit (as if feeling better weren't good enough) is that it's about more than just treatment there... You honestly feel like a member of their family! Everyone in that office is heaven sent and I seriously look forward to my appointments each week!

Therapist knew how to address knots in my back. I was able to get in right away and the ambience was good.

I'm glad I found Pearl massage during my visit there. Came across this place in the mall area. Walked in for a quick foot massage, but it was so relaxing o ended it getting a 90 min full body massage. It was the greatest, all the fatigues are gone, both my cousin and I were very happy with it. Also, very good environment with calm music and clean scent. Love it.

This was a delight, one of the best massages I've ever had and I've had many!Lauren was really generous with her time, respectful of my boundaries, and curious about my needs. I had mentioned I avoid almond oil bc of a nut allergy and she made sure all the products used were nut free and went through ingredients with me. Those touches are why I felt like she was sincerely attentive to my needs, and I really appreciate that. The massage itself was wonderful. I immediately referred several people after I was done. Accessing the space is a little funny - app said to turn from 12th but accessing from Kent / Central is easier by car bc of how the parking lot is set up. Highly recommend!

Shannon Goins is very professional, caring, and competent! I highly recommend her. In fact, immediately after my treatment, I made arrangements for her to see my husband.

Sophia's massages are the very best! She works on injuries, deep tissue, & stretching. She also does the DDS treatments that helped me when I had thrown my back out and could barely walk. Sophia has healing hands!

Hot damn! If anyone on the Westside (heck North, South and East too!) is looking for an AMAZING massage therapist, look no further. Karen is the real deal! I literally just got done with my first massage from her and cannot stop gushing to my husband how incredible my massage was. I had some major knots that no one has been able to get out before. Thank goodness for Karen! She was able to get a majority out and even whipped out an electric stimulator and lathered me with an icy hot like cream afterwards! I am already scheduled to go back in a few weeks and cannot wait to go back! I will no doubt be a regular of Karen's and will be referring her out to all my friends and family.

"Twyla is an amazing therapist! Very welcoming, spiritual and friendly! She worked all my troubled spots and I walked away amazing and relaxed! A must do massage therapy appointment!"
"Dulce truly embodies the sweetness her name suggests. Having worked with her for a year, I've found her to be exceptionally attentive and patient. It's clear that she has a genuine passion for healing. She is consistently available, giving the impression that she is always on call just to assist you.I also love her new location!"
"As a stay at home mother with no children and a fat ass I've been weighing my options of getting back into shape. You see, no one understands or appreciates the lack of responsibility I have at this point in my life. So, as I am trying to get back into fitness through the gym, swimming, walking my dog, and attempting not to eat every single frozen pizza and popsicle in my freezer I decided to try and get back into the hot yoga scene. You see, I HATE hot yoga. I appreciate it, yes, but it has always made me feel like a giant round sweaty, stinky, sticky ass. I decided to try Enlighten Others Hot Yoga for a Yoga/Pilates (YOGALATES) class with a couple of friends. As I walked my chafing ass the two blocks to the yoga studio I imagined my life for the next hour of sweat, doom, unhappiness, judgmental looks, the smell of nasty feet, and people attempting to stop me from drinking water(WE DRINK IT AS A GROUP M,KAY), I was dreading this experience. I was dreading the impending doom of the headache that would hit me afterwards where I would have to crawl into bed immediately after and hope my imaginary kids would be asleep already. Instead, I got one of the best gosh darn hot anything classes I have ever taken. The studio is small and intimate, our teacher, Jamie, was so incredibly helpful. I didn't spend my entire yoga class thinking about the cheese burgers I would eat when I got out, counting down the seconds feeling like the class would never end, but focusing on my breath, on my movement, and pushing myself a little further after each set. When the class was over I couldn't believe I had made it through it without feeling like I was going to die or pass out. My body and mind felt SO good. It's at that point that I realized, "OH MY GOD! THIS IS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE FEEL WHEN THEY DO HOT YOGA! THIS IS WHY IT'S A THING!" Basically, I didn't feel like a ball of ass with a ridiculously bad headache.I can't wait to go back and take more of their yoga classes!! Hopefully my thighs will want a divorce after a few months of classes! One can only hope."
"I have been going to Bonnie for years, and she continues to deliver the best care I could ask for! I recently injured my low back and her cupping services provided the first relief I'd had in weeks.... I really didn't think it was possible, but she made it happen! Do yourself a favor and book a massage + cupping session today! It's an absolute game changer!"
"This was a solid stop. The lady was kind and used all of the 60 minutes of the massage! Location was clean and open. $40 for a foot massage isn't bad (I miss the $20 days). The take credit card as well. Over all I'm pleased with the value. They also have a punch card."
"Dr. Paul is a genius and a true health CARE provider. Over a month ago during a 6 month stint in ABQ for business I began to experience debilitating pain in my neck, vertabra, chest, rib, shoulder and arm. I went to NM Orthopedic, NM Neurology, a private concierge doctor, Peak Motion Physical Therapy, a well regarded chiropractor , had two sets of xrays, was awaiting an MRI and everyone kept saying it was clearly C6 vertabra issue. Meanwhile all the treatments focused on this diagnosis were doing nothing to help and in fact were in some cases making it worse. Dr. Paul was the only one who was determined to properly diagnose and treat me. He determined it was left scalene muscle entrapment which is the thing diagnosed as C6 most often. After 4 months of pain and no relief and no proper diagnosis and no one listening to my symptoms or my physical response to the "treatments", Dr. Paul saved me. The moment he began treating the real issue and I was then able to further educate myself by reading online about the causes and solutions for my scalene muscles being "locked", I began to see instant physical relief for the pain that had plagued me. Dr. Paul is the BEST."
"We were in town for a Dylan concert. My friend and I travel around, hit epic concerts, eat vegan food, hike and occasionally get massages.He booked us a couples' massage at Blu. We came in and they were super friendly. You have the option to add many enhancing experiences to the massage for free (aromatherapy, hot stones, cupping, a bunch of stuff and I hadn't heard before). The woman working on my friend was so warm and kind to him. He sounded happy and chatty. I was suffering from this weird migraine. I get them when my mind is blown by a rock idol. I was less chatty but felt like I was levitating.My massage therapist took my cue and worked on me for a heavenly 90 minutes. I am a single mom and a teacher so my neck and shoulders are in pain almost everyday.I remember dreading the end of the massage. It just felt like another level. My headache subsided. There was some kind of amazing wave light machine orchestrating dancing waves of purple and blue across the ceiling.I felt like I was on some kind of designer drug, flying high with Bob Dylan. I never wanted it to end. Thank you!"
"I visit the chriopractor weekly because of my line of work. Dr. Marquez is always easy to schedule with and I feel great once I leave."
"I recently had a chance to stop by Mountain Spirit for an acupuncture session with Dr. Yvette and I really enjoyed the session! I had tried an acupuncture session elsewhere in ABQ before, but wasn't super hooked by it, particularly because it took that place 2 months to schedule the next follow up session.I was introduced to Mountain Spirit by another person I met at a gym I frequented. She practices healthcare and raved about her session with Mountain Spirit, so I decided to look up Mountain Spirit and give it a try. It took 3 months from the initial time I reached out to them to get things scheduled (had to wait for them to reach out after going through their waiting queue and fill out paperwork/providing ID/doc). But I think it was so worth it!The place was welcoming and very relaxing. It was clean and peaceful...and my first session with Dr. Yvette was so wonderful. She also added some moxibustion to my acupuncture session, which was new to me as well! I felt so relaxed and asleep without even realizing it until we reached the end of session!I was definitely hooked and booked the next session right after my first one. Luckily, the next availability was just 2 weeks away...so if the wait isn't long...I plan to continue visiting this place for sure.P.S. they take most major insurance, too!"
"Sheila is amazing. The office is quiet and low key which is exactly what I want in a new massage therapist's office. My massage was just what I needed. Her ability to make a new person comfortable came with ease. We hit it off from the start. She could easily find my trouble spots and worked them gently. She spent time on my specific requested areas, but also made the time to work my whole body. I feel fantastic. I will be back!!"
"OMG Charlene is the absolute best massage therapist I have ever been to. She is highly knowledgeable in the profession and is able to pinpoint specific areas that need extra attention. She was able to fix a foot problem that had caused me pain for 2 years! I had tried everything even going to see a podiatrist but nothing helped. One session and I was amazed at how much she helped me. I highly recommend her. She is especially good at the deep tissue massages. If you are not seeing her, you are missing out. Trust me!"
"This business offers a bunch of services. I experienced one, the food! I had the best B.L.A.T (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato) with poached egg, sandwich. I hear all the food is wonderful! The outdoor area is beautiful. The staff's hospitality is unmatched. Can't wait to go back!"
"Wow! Wow! Wow! This girl is super intuitive and her hands and feet are magical. I'm not one for cookie cutter massages and my massage today was so outside of the box. It was EXACTLY what a needed. Please give Michelle a chance. You will not be sorry! I feel sooooo much better this afternoon. Thank you!"
"OMG If you want a real massage this is the place. My wife took me here and I almost fell asleep. The lady did not know much English but that was okay. Hot rocks, they use hot rocks! I let her know where on my back I was hurting and she was able to work out the kinks. They soak your feet in hot water, nice touch. Very reasonable and they to not tell you that you have to give a tip or that the tip is not enough.I did worry about the couch things that you lay in, wondering how dirty they may be, but I think all in all they keep things sanitary."
"I scheduled and had a 4-hands massage. I was a bit concerned when asked for cash up-front. The two massage therapists did a great job, though this massage is not for the bashful or inhibited...very little covering is used. But having one therapist work on the back and neck while the other works the legs is pure bliss. But I did have an issue. Instead of a sheet draped on my back as the therapist walked on my shoulders, a towel was used. After a few days the skin on my shoulders was red and peeling, and somewhat sore to the touch. I did have a suspicion I could have ordered more than just a massage. Overall I enjoyed the therapy."
"I have worked out with several fitness trainers in the past, but none have been as well educated about fitness and nutrition as Susan Barcena, owner of The Body Shop in Placitas, NM. Susan understands the latest science about fitness and nutrition and will help you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively. And she will make your workouts engaging, challenging, and fun! Since I began working with Susan 6 weeks ago, I have lost 7 pounds and have seen an incredible difference in my overall fitness level -- toning, strength, and stability. I highly recommend Susan Barcena and The Body Shop!!! I am getting to where I want to be with her support and guidance."
"We have been going to see Patricia for almost a year now for various ailments and we cannot foresee ourselves going to any one else. She truly addresses our needs methodically, remedying our aches and pains until they are no more. She is so pleasant to work with, very patient and flexible with her scheduling...an absolute joy to be worked on by her. You will leave after your appointment feeling rejuvenated, almost like a new person, highly recommended."
"My first time in Pegasus I'm blown away bec of the 5 stars service they delivered. The room and office are very clean, peaceful, and welcoming. I'm glad to stop by and meet April, a very welcoming and professional owner. Highly recommend Pegasus! Effy is a true and the BEST professional masseuse and highly trained in Chinese massage healing. She delivered above any Beverly hill Spa standards. I will be bringing my family and continuing to be a customer in Pegasus. I'm in WoW with the facial massage from Effy. You won't be disappointed at all."
"If spas are your thing like they are mine you definitely should try this lovely place. They take excellent care of you, offer many services that are relaxing and helpful to your body and skin.Their prices are reasonable as well."
"Love this amazing place! Ranae has really put together a cute shop in the Sawmill District. I love the area and the great vibes from her sacred space where lots of magic goes down & great things are birthed! If you're looking for something to inspire you then you will surely find it here. From books, crystals, Doterra oils, oxygen bar, and services like reiki and so much more. Get in touch with her and shine bright like the star you are! Namaste!"
"Lynne is a kind of magical person. She utilizes all of her skills and knowledge of physical therapy, yoga, massage therapy and all around amazingness to see you and treat you holistically. She's taught me strengthening exercises, stretches, breath work and how to speak my truth. She has used heat, cupping, dry needling and laughter. I'm grateful to know Lynne and have her as a healer in my life."
"I was telling a friend about this place the other day, she was like, "Just go to California and get in the ocean. You'll float in there, too."No, you don't get it, Cindy. It isn't the same thing. If I just kick back on the Pacific, I'm thinking my first concern would be sharks, then sunburn, water splashing in my eyes, and the inevitable drift out to sea. Float spas are supposed to be therapeutic and this one, LUMEN, is kinda like seeing a good shrink.Full disclosure: I got a great introductory discount on an hour float here. Why am I jonesing to return? As I told the owner, I've spent most of my life dealing with mild scoliosis, nothing terrible, just a curvature that impacts my lower back. The float spas at LUMEN are exceptionally roomy, and within about 30 minutes, my body was in the best alignment in years. I could hear them, the spinal pops and clicks, that felt SO good.+ Floats are private, one hour sessions+ Rooms are secure and comfortable, no need to bring a swimsuit+ After getting comfortable, the music stops, lights go out (you can keep the lights on, if you really want to), and you're free to crash or just listen to the voices in your head+ To get comfortable, I suggest utilizing the floating "halo" for additional head supportWithout wasting much more of your time, LUMEN ain't no one-trick pony. Offering a workout apparatus that's straight outta Blade Runner, brain training, and mind/body/holistic options based on good ol' science and biology, I'd trust this place to cure my pain in front of, quite honestly, any western or eastern medicine. This place is basically about modern medicine, and it's wonderful."
"I went to Frances on my birthday. I wanted to get a relaxing massage. Frances was recommended by my mother's hairdresser. Am I am happy I went here!! Frances is awesome!! I had the BEST massage ever! The place is very clean and feels soothing the moment you enter the front door. My mom was waiting for me in the comfy waiting room and I joked after the massage that I felt like a "wet noodle". I was so relaxed!! While visiting my family in Albuquerque for Mother's Day week how I wished I had more time to go get one last massage before flying out. I will DEFINITELY be back and highly recommend Frances (Essential Therapy Massage) to my family & friends in Albuquerque. It is a must go place if you want to get a great massage and relieve stress from your body! You won't be dissapointed. Thanks, Frances!!"
