Excellent massages and acupuncture!
by Julia S.
After 3 visits to The Whole You Spa I feel 90% better! The first 2 visits I had deep tissue massages and the third visit was an acupuncture treatment. Every therapist is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I guess that is the reason they are in business for so many years. I already recommended a few friends and bought my husband a gift certificate. I'm sure he will like it too!

Great place for a medical massage
by Carmel98
This is a great place to go to if you are suffering from back pain. After the first massage I felt much better. I have already signed up for a follow-up and my mom signed up as well.

The Whole You Spa
by MikeandJen
My wife gave me a gift certificate to this spa for my birthday, which was a few weeks ago. I never had a massage before and didn't know what to expect. When I got there I was greeted by a very friendly person at the frond desk, Willa. She gave me an intake form to fill out and within a few minutes after I was done filling out the form I was asked to come in. The massage therapist, Roxanne, first put some heat pads on my back to melt my muscles. Then the massage started. Roxanne knew every muscle and was very informative. She used a gel called Biofreeze to help eliminate inflamation. I picked up a sample pack at the front desk when I was done. When I walked out of the room I immediately felt great. I felt like I got taller. My back didn't hurt anymore. It was pretty amazing. I hope I get a gift certificate to this place for every holiday!
Pros: Informative, skilled, friendly staff
Cons: -

Great massage
by samueljackson
I got my first massage at this spa today and I loved it! It was better than the massages I had at other local places. The massage therapist had strong hands and definitely knew what he was doing. I will return for another massage soon.
Pros: 5 minute walk from home
Cons: None

Unprofessional
by Annoyed
First off, i find it very annoying when places write their own reviews. I mean do they really thing we wouldn't notice. You could tell every review was written by the same person a couple days apart. Shady practices!!!!
I went in for a facial and it was a total waste of money. I specially asked to have my pores be cleaned out on my nose to get rid of blackheads. I could have done a better job with Biore strips. While I was getting my facial, I could hear the staff goofing off and be loud and laughing. I thought it was very unprofessional since spas are supposed to be calm and relaxing. The definitely won't see me again!!!!!!! I do a lot of business in the area and will make sure to steer my clients away from this place.
Pros: Close to my apt
Cons: Everything else

My massage at the whole you spa
by monicasnyder
I have been getting massages my whole life. When my massage therapist was out sick at another place I usually go to I decided to give this place a try. I scheduled my massage with Carlos and this was my best massage ever! It's too bad I didn't try this place before, but better late than never...

No more back pain!
by laperla
I was suffering from back pain for almost a whole month prior to my visit to the Whole You Spa. I knew it wouldn't take 1 treatment to make the pain go away, but it almost did. I had 80% less pain after the first "back on table" (it's a 40 minute treatment focused on the back). And, after my 3rd treatment the back pain was gone! Thank you Mila, Willa and the wonderful Massage Therapists! Now that the pain is gone I might stop by for a facial.
Pros: No more back pain!

Nice!
by theonlyjen
I found out about this spa from a local paper, Riverdale Review. They had some great discounts for first-time clients. I was very surprised with a low cost of the services, massages especially. I felt guilty using a coupon for an already inexpensive massage. My massage was excellent. I was completely relaxed and free from my usual back pain after the treatment. I already scheduled a treatment for next week. Thanks!
Pros: Inexpensive, great service

A+ service!
by brooklyngirl4ever
I was so surprised I was able to get an appointment at this spa on such short notice. And to top it off, I was able to use a coupon for my facial treatment which was great! The spa was nice and clean and quiet, friendly reception, very relaxing once you walk in the treatment room. My aesthetician was very good. She was very thorough and gave good recommendations. I liked that she didn't try to sell me any products but simply gave her advice on what to use and/or do. I definitely enjoyed the service and would go back again.
Pros: service
Cons: none

Best massage!
by uws45
It's amazing that I must have walked by this place a million times since my bank is on the corner of W238 and Riverdale Ave. I was introduced to The Whole You Spa by a friend who treated me to a massage a few months ago and now I get my massage once a week. I tried a couple different massage therapists and everyone is great! I already recommended this place to my friends.

Best Acupuncture in Riverdale
by RiverdaleLiving
I went in for my third Acupuncture treatment yesterday. The Acupuncturist, Mr. Gregory Kuperman is a very well-educated professional, who was a doctor in Russia. I saw improvement in my condition after my very first treatment. After my third treatment I am 50% better! I would highly recommend trying Acupuncture at The Whole You Spa.
Pros: Location

Worth the trip from LI!
by SunshineL
I was a regular at the whole you spa for many years, but moved to LI in 2006. Unfortunately, I could not find better massages and facials closer to my house so I still visit the whole you spa for my monthly massage and facial. It is worth the trip from LI!

Wonderful deep tissue massages and caring, attentive staff
by dmviggy
A professional, peaceful atmosphere and superb massages are the hallmark of the Whole You Spa. I have been a client for four years. The massage therapists will address any specific physical problems you might have, in addition to deep tissue and relaxation massages. There's a complete array of other services reflexology, facials, acupuncture.
I am always totally transformed and relaxed after my massages at the Whole You Spa.
Thank you to Mila, Willa and all the staff !

Feel totally relaxed after this massage
by RiverdalePeggy
I just had my third Deep Tissue massage (with Carlos) yesterday and I feel great! It gets better each time I go. Everyone I have encountered has been professional and very polite while at the same time, very friendly. I have had massage therapy in several chiropractic and physical therapy offices as well as in the Red Door Salon and can tell you the massage at The Whole You Spa far exceeds them all!

A+++ Facility
by EilisA
Deep tissue massage: First time there was for a back spasm. After deep tissue massage with Mila and Carlos I had immediate relief; two more sessions later spasm was gone!! Have had this problem before and it took twelve sessions with physical therapist before I got some relief . This is now the avenue of choice (medically and financially) should I have this problem again. I continue to have a monthly massage.
Acupuncture: Dr. Gregory Kuperman -- what can I say? Gregory totally knows his craft and I have seen the results (sinus, asthma, urinary and menstrual issues) after my acupuncture treatments.
Pros: On time appointments; highly skilled professionals
Cons: None

I have found this place through a local paper - Riverdale Review. They had some great specials and I decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed.

Amazing Massage Therapists
by MichaelBaker
I was suffering from a back ache for a few months. My wife discovered The Whole You Spa and I called them and set up an appointment with Carlos. After only 2 visits my back pain is gone! Prior to that I went to my physical therapist and he said I have to do a minimum of 10 sessions with him! I saved so much time and money! I highly recommend this place to everyone. Michael.
Pros: Very knowledgeable, excellent location, inexpensive
Cons: None
