Elixir Mind Body Massage

I was looking for a place to get my husband a surprise massage and found a coupon on city search last week that says (word for word) "Purchase a 60 Min massage and get a complimentary hot lava massage." So I called and made my husband an appointment for the 60 min massage and told them I had a coupon from city search for the complimentary hot lava massage and they booked the appointment and told me just to bring it in. So we just showed up and they told me there was a typo on the ad, blamed city search of course, it was supposed to say upgrade not complimentary and they wouldn't honor it. They also said they left me a message on my cell, which i didn't get, and that it was my fault if i didn't listen to my messages. I just listened to it by the way and the owner said its been stuck on there for the last month which was a lie as the front desk chick told us when we were in there they had no idea about the typo till i called and had it removed immediately and that I was the only one who found it. As if the whole thing wasn't bad enough she had to leave an entire message of lies, unreal. I then left the owner a message after we were rudely shown the door and surprise surprise she never even called me back. I guess thats great if you have a business that is going so well you don't have to treat new customers kindly, but as for me and anyone we know we will be getting our massages somewhere else and you should also, bad business owners and liars shouldn't be rewarded.

Pros: didn't get to find out

Cons: Owner is a liar and truly no idea how to run a business

I love Elixir. I go there at least once a month. The massage therapists are great, the specialty massages are great. They have a relaxing atmosphere and everyone there is nice, polite and wonderful to be around.

Pros: Suzanne and Lisa

Cons: I can't go everyday.

I had a fabulous visit yesterday to elixir as a first time massage customer. I was pleasantly greeted and welcomed and offered an elixir for relaxation. I then received a warm therapeutic wrap for my neck and shoulders to begin the relaxation process. The surroundings were comfortable and beautiful - calm and quiet. I had a very nice massage from Jen who worked the tension out of my back and shoulders specifically. I left feeling relaxed, calm and great. It was refreshing to be asked "is there anything we could have done better?" upon checking out. I believe the owners truly want to make sure their customers are receiving the best in care. I will definitely be back!

WHAT A RELAXING ATMOSPHERE. THE STAFF MADE ME FEEL AT HOME AS SOON AS I WALKED THRU THE DOOR. I CAN NOT WAIT TO TELL THE WIFE WE HAVE A NEW MASSAGE CENTER. A VERY WELL DONE MASSAGE CENTER, WAIT TO YOU SEE THE MASSAGE ROOMS , NEED I SAY MORE?

Pros: SUSAN, GREAT DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Cons: SORRY I DO NOT HAVE ANY.

My legs, feet and back ached so bad I didn't want to get out of bed but I am so glad I did. I feel like a new woman. My husband (the saint) bought me a gift certificate to Elixir for their Yummy Tummy Pregnancy massage package. They were so gracious and welcoming. As soon as I came in they gave me a special tea just for expecting moms and a warm neck wrap. The massage itself was so soothing, the tummy mask really eased that "too tight" feeling of my skin and the leg and foot scrub make me realize that my feet could feel something other than swollen. I loved the Mama Mio products they used and I even got my own sampler to take home. If you are pregant or know someone who is go to Elixir, they know their stuff.

Pros: Great space, they pay attention to details, very relaxing, sheets were sooo soft

Cons: I know everyone says parking is difficult but I found a space right out front

Elixir in Lodo is the best place to get massages! The minute you walk in the door you feel welcomed by the staff. Getting a massage at Elixir is an experience that you wont forget. I highly recommend Elixir for getting all your massage services.

I was HIGHLY pleased when me and my husband went in for massages at elixir. Not only is it located in an easy to find place and close to everything fun in downtown, but the atmosphere was amazing! Such a relaxing downtown studio and everything on the inside was decorated well; it was very eye catching and pleasing to the senses. Not only that, but the staff was knowledgable, friendly and provided outstanding customer service. I get massages at least once a month, and Rives is the best therapist I have ever been to! She is great at making all your kinks go away, but at the same time, not hurting you and pushing you too far. An overall WONDERFUL experience. Highly recomended to all! Thanks for the great day Elixir!

Pros: The Therapist, Rives

Cons: Parking Downtown is Always a Pain!

Soothing well decorated salon, friendly environment, fabulous massage by Lisa! Would highly recommend this salon - especially for a relaxing Pre Natal massage. I was specifically impressed by the educated techniques, knowledge, and products.

We received a couples massage, and it was excellent! As soon as we walked in, we were promptly greeted, and given a beverage and warm neck wrap. The massage therapists were very intuitive in terms of performing the appropriate techniques that our bodies needed. The general space is very contemporary and inviting. We are definitely very satisfied with the service at Elixir, and would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for a relaxing retreat!

Pros: location, service, knowledgeable staff

Cons: non whatsoever!

It opened 3 weeks ago. It's modern. It's tasteful. It has exposed brick. It has 350 thread count sheets. It looks like a loft. It's very LoDo.

But, don't expect facials at this non-spa. It's actually a massage center (duh). Massages are the only available treatment and there's too many to pick from. There's the Elixir, it's a custom massage. There's the Four Hand, you get two masseuses at once. There's the Chair massage, it can come to your office. Then there's the Hot Stone and the Couple's massage. And there's even reflexology.

This is a beautiful spa. The massage beds have silk sheets and the rooms are cozy and comfortable. I was welcomed with an offer of water or tea. It was a very warm afternoon and they gave me a cool wrap while I waited for my therapist. The therapists are very professional and very good. I highly recommend this spa to everyone. I can't wait until my next appointment!

Pros: Beautiful location, lots of options, great therapists

Cons: Parking is tough on the weekends

My massage at Elixir was, by far, one of the best that I've ever had. I tried the "steam table" massage accompanied w/ aromatherapy and came out feeling like a million dollars. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgable and the therapists are truly gifted in their techniques. You also can't beat the deal they have with their 6 month or 1 year membership offers. Elixir will definitely become a permanent fixture in the Lodo community.

Pros: everything!!

Cons: parking can definitely be a pain, but it's well worth the hassle

The atmosphere is terrific! Elixir is set in a beautiful historic building with a tranquil design. I have been waiting my whole life for a place like this! My favorite part is the friendly staff. They are all there to serve you and make you feel like your important. Leave your cares behind...

Pros: All of it!

Cons: Parking can be a pain. But well worth it. Make sure to give yourself extra time to find a spot!

Officing downtown has new advantages, you can now spend rush hour getting a massage at Elixir Mind and Body massage instead of getting stressed out in your car for the same hour. I treated myself at the urging of a friend and was a member before the massage was half way over. Love the exposed brick interior, super quiet setting, chose my own music. First went with 2 other friends and it was a huge treat - this spa has truly thought of everything for your best massage experience, I've been getting massage for years and all three of the therapists I had so far have been excellent. Next on my agenda is their steam table massage. Love the location, right near Tattered Cover and dozens of restaurants nearby to enjoy after visiting Elixir. I'm lucky, they located 2 blocks from my office. They are coming to the office next week for all my employees to experience a chair massage - great for everybody's "computer shoulders". Everything smell wonderful at Elixir - especially the spa chocolates!

Pros: Actually very accessable - 1/2 blk off 16th St. Mall Shuttle & Good Meter Pkg

Cons: Free Parking on Sunday is nice - otherwise typical LoDo Pkg issues but this is better than most due to prime location
