Ananda Massage

My daughter and I were spending some time in Seattle and wanted to get a massage. We had read the reviews saying that Ananda spa was rated as having the best massages, but we had heard those words before and been bitterly disappointed. We had 2 different therapists (I hope I get their names correct) Naomi and Jose, both were excellent. If they are representative of the therapists there, then they do have the best massages. Let me add, my daughter is a massage therapist and I frequently have massages, so I think we are in a good position to judge.. Keep up the good work!!!

I have always been a big spa goer, but this is the first time I have ever taken the time to write a review. My experiences at Ananda Spa have been so wonderful that I have to put the word out! The decor is beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming. The same can also be said for the staff. They are always kind and eager to accomodate your needs. Specifically, after years of truly horrifying waxing experiences at other spas, I had come to believe that I was just one of those women who was too sensitive for waxing. My past experiences had been so bad that I even thought I might have a skin allergy to the waxes and sugars. I had finally given up on waxing when I began to hear great things about Ananda Spa. I figured I would give waxing one last shot. I was seen by Julianne, who is also the owner. I told her my terrible history with past experiences and she was so incredibly nice and PATIENT with me!! She did it slowly and used little tricks and methods specific to my sensitivity. I was shocked at well it went! I now see her regularly and it only gets better with every visit. So it turns out, I never had an allergy, I just hadn't found the right person. I cannot say enough great things about Julianne! She is amazing! So ladies, if you have any fears or reservations about waxing, or even if you are a seasoned waxing vet, you have to check out Ananda Spa. You will be so glad you did!!

I have worked in several spas around the seattle area and the facial I recieved from Julianne was the best! The room was super cozy and comforting after my rainy seattle walk. Julianne is super friendly and has an amazing touch. She used "Pevonia" products for my supersensitive skin. My skin felt super soft and healthy and I'm loving the products at home. My facial was finished by the most amazing neck and shoulder rub, I was ready to schedule my next massage with Julianne. Altogether a great spa experience I would recommend to all!

Just great service all the way around. I've been going to Julianne for massages for YEARS (followed her from another spa in Bellevue), and she is fantastic. She continues to learn new techniques as she goes, so each massage is just a little bit different... which is great! I've also received excellent facial treatments there. I'll be going back again and again, even though the spa is on the other side of Lake Washington... it's worth the trip!!!

I have a hair salon on lower queen anne and have been looking for a new massage person..and I found him here! Christopher is amazing, gifted, intuitive and STRONG. He says he can do a "fluffy" massage but I got worked over and really stretched out. I have never felt like someone accomplished so much in one session and as a hairdresser with iron shoulders and neck, that is saying a lot! If you need help with your body, give Christopher a try. Everyone here is top notch and the owner is very kind and personable. They are very professional!
