Mind & Body

Mind and Body is such a hidden gem, I’m so happy I found it! I’ve been experiencing neck pain and «knots» in my shoulders for several days with no relief, so I decided to try a massage. I used Unilocal to find a masseuse close to work and came across Mind and Body, only 1 block away. I texted (and emailed) as indicated on the website for a last-​minute/​same-​day appointment for the 30 min neck and shoulder massage. They were able to squeeze me in this afternoon, and I already feel worlds better.
My masseuse (who I believe was Jessica) was great, and was able to talk me through her plan of attack once I described my symptoms. After just 30 min, I feel significant relief in my neck and shoulders– she was very knowledgeable and professional, and did an amazing job.
As for the office overall, it is a bit confusing to locate– once in the elevator, you need to press «M» (not 5) to get to the mezzanine level. As other reviews indicate, you are able to hear what’s going on outside your room because the room walls do not reach the high ceilings, but this didn’t bother me. My room was private, warm and cozy. I also liked that she didn’t use a crazy amount of scented oil– sometimes I’ve left massages feeling like I need to shower.
I was able to use my Student ID for a discount, and I did see that there were some specials offered on the Unilocal page. I was also asked to pay cash (I believe their machine was down) but they told me this when I made my appointment so I had time to run to the ATM.
I absolutely recommend Mind and Body, and I will definitely be back!

Rebecca is amazing! I’m in town only for a few days and will try and see her again. Was that good!

The reason I decided to book an appointment here is because of the great reviews on Unilocal as well as the student discounts offered on their website which made it very attractive. However, I was extremely disappointed with my visit. The environment and ambiance was great. Relaxing. BUT my massage was overall very disappointing. I left feeling the same exact way I came in. The masseur (Joe) did not apply any pressure even after I had asked him to. The whole time it was just him rubbing oil on my body. For $ 60, I could have done that myself for free.

On the hunt for a go-​to massage in my new neighborhood — disappointed I didn’t know about the Unilocal coupon here before I went! My masseuse was pleasant and paid close attention to my problem areas, which I appreciated. The walls were pretty thin so it was easy for me to hear people coming and going, which was a bit distracting. My masseuse also used plastic gloves during my massage, which always throws me off. Overall I’d say if you’re looking for a quick massage, this place is great — but if you’re in for 90 minutes, it’s rather expensive and not as relaxing as I’d hoped.

I have had two massages at Mind and Body. One with Dana and one with Rebecca. Both worked on me for an extra long time, both worked out all of the tension in each area, and both made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The hot towel treatment felt amazing and each woman walked on my legs and worked on my back at the same time (which was just what I needed). Each time I left, I felt high. Best massages I have ever had and I have had a lot of massages.

The entrance of the building is on 15^th street, not Walnut. Dana took care of me today. She is very personable, friendly, and willing to accommodate. I got a standard intuitive 60 minute massage that seemed to be a mix of Swedish and deep-​tissue. The ambiance of the space is well-​worth the money. A lot of the décor is Eastern and very calming. Good lighting, and ambiance. Great place.

Had my first massage at Mind and Body with Dana. I have had terrible neck pain shoulder pain for three years. I went to a masseuse once before and despite telling that person I had neck and shoulder knots they gave me a full body massage. Without me even saying anything, Dana immediately realized my neck, head, and shoulder were the areas that needed focus. She did an AMAZING job with my terrible knots. I feel great! Also great at respecting privacy and let me chose my body oil
I would highly recommend!

Had my first 60 min intuitive message last night with Dana. I have been having intense neck and back pain unrelieved with medication, acupuncture, or chiropractic care. Dana was very polite, and very knowledgable. And the message felt amazing! I will definitely be back for more messages as i have woken up this morning with a lot less pain that I had yesterday, which is priceless in my opinion.

I had a profoundly relaxing and healing Thai massage by Rebecca. I have persistent lumbar pain and often feel aches in my hip flexors and side, as well.
She really helped open these areas up with the gentle stretching moves that were held long enough to feel a change. The pressure she used was firm enough to feel a deep tissue effect but never too much. The pacing of the session, and the support and care with which she moved my limbs, was so restful and healing.
I love her work!

I originally scheduled an Intuitive massage with Porter. I walked into this calming space hidden in a center city office building. Porter was very welcoming, she made me feel very comfortable. When I told her about the pain I was having she recommended the Nuat Thai massage instead. She was very knowledgeable and I immediately felt that I could trust her and she would help me work on my shoulder and neck pain. The massage was very intense with firm pressure, but it felt amazing. I would definitely recommend scheduling a massage at mind & body, I feel better already. I also asked about some things I could do at home to help with the pain and Porter was happy to offer suggestions to help me.

Rebecca is amazing! I highly recommend her. She is one who truly cares about her clients and doesn’t take any shortcuts to do whats best for her clients. I really appreciate her work and highly recommend her for anybody needing any type of massage.

I did the Nuat Thai massage with Porter through a Groupon, and it was incredible — I think it was worth the full price even without the discount.
Porter had a very relaxing and comforting demeanor, and told me a little bit about herself and the modality before we started. It was probably the most intense massage I have ever had, in terms of spirituality, intimacy, and pressure. She uses all parts of her body and you are often twisted and rolled and pulled and stretched in every direction; there is a lot of bodily contact with the masseuse. Not for those who like light, swedish-​style pressure, but for me it was perfect.
The only con is the noise — when other people came in, I could hear them talking at the front desk, which was a little distracting.

Victoria was wonderful! She made me feel safe and comfortable. I will definitely be back to her soon !!

If you like really deep massages with high intensity pressure this it the place to go. Porter did a really great job of using a combination of pressure point and stretching techniques to enhance the traditional massage experience. The stress of the work week was whisked away in no time.
The new space lends itself to a much more relaxing experience however the walls to the rooms are not the full height so there are still noise issues. Two people came in to either reschedule their appointments or ask questions while I was getting my massage and each time Porter opted to step out to help them and then come back. She finally locked the door about halfway through.
The reasonable prices and high quality massage will definitely keep me going back.

The owner of the Mind&Body did my swedish massage. Normally I don’t talk during the treatment, but we got so into talking about babies, life, and boys.
She scanned my body and targeted my weaker part or where the muscles were intensive. She didn’t just target all of the body which I highly score! (other places just massage all over, and later I get body aches other then relaxed)
I wish there are better parkings available around the spa. If so, I am very willing to go back.

It looks like most of what I have to say has been said but I’ll reiterate. I’ve been here twice and have seen Victoria on both visits: once for an integrated Thai massage and once for Nuat Thai bodywork. No other massage can even compare to these — Victoria is caring, perceptive, and knowledgeable and put me at ease immediately on both visits. Plagued by lower-​back pain every few months, both massages have done wonders for my back and the rest of my body.
A few other things: they are extremely accommodating with online vouchers. No hassles whatsoever. Scheduling is a breeze (I was able to make both appointments during the week after work). A few other reviews mention the business being in an office — it’s since moved to another part of the same building and it’s a huge step up: dim, quiet, and a perfect atmosphere for a massage.
Really lucky to have a place like this so close. Can’t recommend it enough.

I had such an amazing experience here that I came home and immediately went online to review it. The booking process was as simple as it gets by booking online. You can also book by phone if you prefer.
The building itself is easy to find but make sure you remember it is Suite M5 (M is the second floor) because the directory doesn’t list Mind&Body and the security guards sent me to the wrong floor where it used to be located before the move last month.
The suite is an intimate space and has two massage rooms and two floor areas for their Thai massages. Rebecca was able to transform a business suite into a relaxing oasis! Since it is a business building the A/​C is pretty high but she counteracts this by providing heated beds.
Rebecca (the owner) did my massage and was amazing! She was very welcoming and asked me where my problem areas were and seemed to focus on them while also giving attention to my whole body. She has impressively strong hands which I loved! She combines swedish, deep tissue, and pressure points. If you are looking for a soft swedish massage with light pressure I would probably look elsewhere. When I left all of my back and shoulder pain was gone!
And to top off the amazing experience she also has an amazing student discount because she knows how broke college kids are these days! I will absolutely be back again for another massage soon!

I had my very first professional massage last week with Rebecca and I loved it! I’ll probably start treating myself to more of these in the future. I really like how she offers a discount to students. It certainly helps broke college students like me be able to enjoy massages without breaking the bank. It’s affordable and Rebecca does a nice job, was super professional, but also friendly, which I find important when it comes to good customer service.
Booking an appointment online is probably the easiest way to schedule an appointment. It’s an easy process and you will get email and text reminders as your appointment is approaching. Be sure to book at least one or two weeks in advance because Mind & Body’s schedule is usually really full.
The location is convenient — close to City Hall. The massage room itself, however, can be pretty confusing to find. There are a bunch of offices in the building and I got lost trying to find Mind & Body. Luckily, I ran into someone who escorted me to the proper waiting area. I came to my appointment early and had to wait an additional 15 min from my appointment time. I was slightly aggravated about waiting for over 20 min, however, I understand that people run behind schedule sometimes, which is not too big of a deal. My only concern was that I wouldn’t get my full hour’s worth of the session, but surprisingly, I did! I checked my watch before the massage began and when it was over, exactly 60 min had passed.
The massage room was very relaxing and it’s nice that the massage bed was heated because I’m one of those people who are always cold. Rebecca’s pressure was on-​point and she did make sure to ask me if the pressure was okay. It was a deep enough of a massage where I didn’t get too ticklish, but it wasn’t to the point where she was going to break my bones. She did a fantastic job getting out the knots in my neck/​shoulder area that accumulated from hunching over and studying during finals week. I did get really sore the next day, which I wasn’t expecting, but after talking to some friends, apparently that’s always supposed to happen after getting a massage? Shows how much of a noob I am when it comes to massages!
Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend to all. Especially students! You probably won’t find a better deal.

Rebecca was amazing.
She does the best hip work and deep muscle massage. As a massage therapist myself I am very picky and she is one of the best. The location is really convenient and she was proffesional and friendly.
I was shocked to see someone post a nasty review about her giving her one star siting the fact that she talked about topics that «were not my problem». Rebecca was super courteous and proffesional with me and although she did chat with me for a few minutes here and there to explain what she was doing she let me relax and I got a great deep-​tissue massage. It is amazing to me how some people overlook the human aspect of small businesses like these and retreat to Unilocal and Facebook to air their misgivings instead of TALKING TO THE PERSON WHO OWNS THE BUSINESS. Be REAL, PEOPLE! Jeez! Ok rant over and back to review…
So yes Rebecca is great, she worked really hard to alleviate the problem areas I pointed out to her and I had a lasting effect for weeks afterward. She really took my knots personally and made sure I was loosey goosey when I left.
AND I tipped her because she was good, I don’t care that she is the owner, her degree of talent deserves a tip! So there. Go get a massage.

Rebecca is fabulous. She is a young but really smart business owner. I know she will do great things with this business. Rebecca recently brought on thai massage, something that is great for people like me who like to exercise but need to stretch more, and she recently brought on Victoria, who like Rebecca can do a mean massage.
Thanks to your healing hands Rebecca and Victoria. We are so fortunate to have you in our city. The location is great, especially for walkers and commuters. Rebecca is especially professional and she will work with you to give you a tailored massage and a good price. I have no complaints.
You can schedule online, you will get reminder texts, the price is good, the location is great, the service is terrific. What more can I say?
