Natural Balance Massage & Wellness Center

I had a prenatal massage to help me induce labor. I have no idea whether it is going to help or not since I just had it, but I am so happy I went to this place. After so many things that my body went through throughout this pregnancy I finally feel like a human being. I don’t remember when I was so relaxed. It was much better than any regular massage I even had. Nothing hurts anymore, nothing at all. Even though it was a slightly painful experience because of all these pressure points that have to be pressed, it is all worth it! Definitely coming back for other services! Great place!

I came in for a prenatal massage for my first time ever. It was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have asked for better! The spa itself was nice and clean and calm, my massage therapist, Carolina, was so firm yet soft exactly what I needed! Definitely would recommend to anyone. This is an upscale spa with brooklyn prices! Definitely worth every dollar!

Where to begin, this place is great. The staff is welcoming, the atmosphere is inviting and the services are the cherry on top. I had my birthday party there and it was the best way to bring in the year.

I’ve been going to Natural Balance on and off for several years. I have taken yoga classes and received facials and some add on treatments. I went back this weekend and I have to say what a wonderful experience it was. I have had two previous facials with Beth and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. She is so sweet and friendly and always makes sure that I feel comfortable with everything she is doing. She takes the time to fully explain why certain products are used and what they do and I find that very important. When she does extractions she doesn’t make me cry which is also a big plus. While she is gentle, the process still yields great results. When I left, my skin felt clean and smooth. I couldn’t believe how I was glowing. I also received the green tea & mint foot treatment along with the aromatherapy scalp massage. The scalp massage was absolutely heavenly! The blend of essential oils used smell great and really helped me to relax. I decided that I will be returning often for facials with Beth to help keep my skin in top shape. In addition to how great she is, the rest of the place is awesome as well. The environment and atmosphere is very conducive to ultimate relaxation. The rest of the staff is extremely friendly. Everything is clean and I love the music they play. I also love that I don’t have to leave my neighborhood for a top quality spa experience.

My aunt’s, mom and I went for a massage this weekend. It was amazing. The front desk staff were so nice and professional, the spa was super clean and peaceful. Very nice way to end a hard week in NYC! All of the masseuses were awesome. My masseuse, Pamela, was a substitute. But she had the hands of a healing mother! My body feels so good now. No aches in my back, or shoulders. Loved every minute of it. I urge you to give them a try. They’re not in a trendy neighborhood, but it’s a very nice neighborhood, and you’d never expect to find this gem of a spa there! Total awesomeness

I’ve been looking for a massage therapist for a while now as I suffer from chronic back pain and experience flare-​ups every once in a while. I gave this place 4 stars because it’s close to home which is a big plus (literally 8 minutes away), the receptionist/​staff are so pleasant and helpful, and the massage was great. I did not give it a 5 because the therapist talked the majority of the session and I didn’t want to be rude and tell her don’t talk to me so I answered whenever she asked a question and the price is a little steep especially if you plan on going there monthly. If you like talking during your massage and not looking for a monthly place then this place is it!

I went to this salon for an acne facial. My pores are clogged and I have several blemishes. I wanted to get my pores cleaned out as much as possible. Unfortunately the esthetician only went through my nose area while I have problems all over my face. She put plenty of creams and I think two masks on my face which were nice and she gave my neck and hands massages (that I never got before during acne facials) but I thought she should have done much more extractions. At other places during an acne facial treatment, estheticians performed extractions all over the problematic areas of my face. By manually removing pore blockages and extracting impactions, my pores were cleared of excess oil and cellular debris. It wasn’t done at this place. I guess the creams and masks were supposed to reduce my blemishes but they would have been much more effective if my pores were cleaned out previously. I’m disappointed because I was expecting a different treatment for an acne facial.

It’s a clean, professional, highly trained staff members place to get a massage. I got hurt at work and went there and had an amazing massage from Kim. She was able to work out all the knots in my back and took her time to make sure not to miss anything. I even got a hot towel for my face. Get the 90 minute massage. The place is quiet, clean, the sheets and tables are clean. Nice soft music, soft lighting, and comfortable temperature will make your experience wonderful. I try to get a massage once a month and been coming here for years. The front desk staff is so nice. They take you to the sitting room and offer you a beverage or something to eat while you wait the longest I ever waited was five minutes. I like when I make an appointment and they take me at the exact sometime I booked the appointment. This place is a cut above the rest. The price is reasonable. Check them out. Parking is also easy.

I want to thank this place for providing amazing service. Everything was professional. Quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, clean bathrooms. The room where the treatment is performed is somewhat small so when the therapist moves around they can accidentally bump into the table but its ok given the fact that the actual massage is worth every penny. Maybe i was lucky with the therapist. I highly recommend Patrice Mclntyre … Only drawback is that there is no room for relaxation after massage — like a lounge where you can lie down for a while and have some refreshments. (People who were in high end spas would know what i mean. Only small sitting area here). But this place is very good for the area. Anyway, i will be definitely coming back for more.

As a beauty industry professional, it is difficult for me to find a spa where I feel totally at ease with the establishment as well as the treatment provider, I had been to Natural Balance many years ago and recalled it was a clean and professional place. I am tired of the large and also pricy spas of Manhattan so I thought I would revisit Natural Balance. My experience was amazing! I was able to secure a same day booking for a 1 hour massage. I took a chance with Carolina as I had no recommendations on who to see. Carolina was professional and talented! She asked me how the pressure was and invited me to speak up if/​when I needed more or less pressure. She gave a firm therapeutic yet relaxing massage. The establishment is still clean and has a relaxing spa vibe. I will certainly be back to see Carolina and to try a facial next time too!

I had a FANTASTIC massage by Ralph! He has an excellent read of the body and uses some different techniques to get out all the sore areas. Definitely not a lotion-​application.

I will 1^st start by saying «Shame on me» for not trying this place out sooner, as I live in the area! Great experience for my first time here. Very clean and quaint spa with exceptional customer service (thank you Fran!!!). I called around 3pm and was able to book a hot stone massage for the same day! (6:30pm) #Bonus I had the pleasure of having Vincent perform my massage and I must say he did an exceptional job!!! I left with all my muscles relaxed and trust me that was not hard to do. He even gave me some daily stretching tips which I found to be very helpful! Overall, yes I would recommend my family and fiends and will definitely be back myself very soon!

This place is legit. What can I say? I’ve come here a few times over the years, and while faces change and therapists come and go, the quality and care has always been top notch. The front-​desk staff are friendly and informative and the place is warm and inviting. Yes, if you want a traditional robe/​shower/​sauna day spa kind of experience this place may seem a tad underwhelming, but it isn’t really that kind of place.
They offer a multitude of services and the fact that I don’t have to go to downtown brooklyn or manhattan to get the same kind of quality (or better) is terrific.
Don’t be intimidated by the prices. I’ve been to plenty of chinatown hole in the walls, with cheap linens, thin walls, or curtains separating areas. And then you get the most unbalanced rubdowns ever by someone who definitely isn’t licensed. Would you go see an unlicensed doctor? No. Take care of your body and wellness– come here. Ralph and Marlene give kickass massages!

I called this place after hearing great things and was hoping to get a same day appointment. When I called they had one apt left. It was pure luck being that it was New Year’s Eve. This massage was the BEST. Totally recommend this place. Clean and happy and quiet. If you want a pleasant experience with a great massage you should definitely go there.

I was a patron of this establishment for 8 years. A little over a year ago while receiving a massage, the masseuse did something that goes beyond inappropriate. A complete violation in my trust at having my body maneuvered and sensitive areas exposed. I spoke with the owner discreetly giving her the benefit of the doubt and hoping she would do the right thing in this situation. She said that she was inclined to believe me and that she was suspending and possibly terminating him. This was a lie told to pacify me. Shortly after a friend did call to make an appointment with him, and he was still working there. I did report this to the lisencing board, unfortunately it is my word against his. I do not wish to gain anything g from this, I just want to prevent this from happening to someone else.

I’ve been here three times and have not yet been disappointed. First of all, the place is beautiful. The massage rooms are spacious, the décor is very zen, and the entire atmosphere is soothing. It’s very clean. I love the darkly lit rooms, the music, and the herbal scents they use. My first massage with Merryl was great. I was surprised that a little lady could be so strong. I also had a massage with Kandia who was very friendly and very good. My massage today with Carolina though was just the best. I have never been so relaxed in my entire life, and afterwards she let me know some of the problems she noticed and what I can do about them. Even though I love therapists who talk, maybe today I just needed some quiet, which is why I enjoyed the massage with Carolina so much. She was very professional and the entire experience made me feel like I was on cloud 9. Every massage therapist is licensed, friendly, and professional. The front desk staff is very friendly. I think that you get what you pay for here. It is expensive but it is also part of your own wellness. It’s very important to me that the therapist is licensed, and I’ve been to places where I’ve paid $ 80 for a massage and the décor doesn’t even compare to this. The atmosphere makes the entire experience better, and allows you to really relax and enjoy yourself.
This is my go to massage place. I don’t think I can go anywhere else for a massage. They also have gift certificates and gift cards, which I definitely plan to gift this holiday season :)

I found this place a while back, but was apprehensive about going just because trying new spa places can be dangerous sometimes (in terms of cleanliness). I finally decided to book an appointment via web, which made it very easy. They were booked at the time, but I received a call from someone asking me to reschedule who was very helpful with information and accomedating needs. Upon arrival, we walked in and were escorted to a waiting area, which had water and healthy snacks. The staff was friendly, we did not wait long at all before the masseuse came to get us. They introduced themselves took us to our seperate rooms. The room was nice and clean, they do not have lockers like traditional spa’s however I personally like to have all my stuff with me and not be forced to walk around in a robe.
The 60 min massage was great by Dina, she explained everything she was doing and made sure to keep pressure to my liking. Over all a great experience, no compliants. It is a great local place to go too. They have other services I am willing to try just because their customer service is amazing.
So glad Unilocal reviews help me find this place.

I feel the same way Linda H does. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place!
Unilocal– Thank you!
I just went for a 60 minutes massage. When I called to schedule an appointment I spoke with Jenn, she was very pleasant and knew I really wanted an appointment for today. She took my name and number and called me back within 10 minutes and was able to accommodate me. Thank you, Jenn!
Upon my arrival I was greeted by Jenn and a young man, both were friendly and welcoming.
Marlene was my massage therapist. She was AMAZING!!!
I booked a 60 minute Aromatherapy massage. Ahh, it was WONDERFUL!
I’m already looking forward to going back and I just left. :)
Marlene, THANK YOU! I truly felt like butter when I got off the table and you are a very warm person that I felt very comfortable with. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

I love this place, I can almost always get a next day appointment for times i want a spur of the moment massage.
i love the ambiance. Masseuses ask you what you need and where you what them to focus they take their time to hep you figure out whats best for you.
only thing i ever didn’t like was when i got a prenatal Vincent talks too too much.
i thought it was me but my sister in law got one and she said the same thing when she was done. «vincent…shhhhhhhh» :)

I have been here a number of times for a massage and have seen a number of various therapists. Their therapists have always been professional and courteous. They always ask you what areas need focus and follow through on your requests.
The place is decorated nicely in a classic spa like feel and gives you an overall feeling of relaxation.
