We called close to 8pm for a massage after trying two other places and this was the only one that had two massages available for us. They took us in a half hour later. I got Dan and his massage was great. I was really sore and he was in tune with all my sore spots. The price was a little expensive, as I wouldve enjoyed a 60 minute massage over a 50 minute massage, but who wouldnt...? The place is calming. Both mine and my boyfriends massage rooms had windows opening up to a garden of calming fountains. The sound of flowing water was a great touch. All in all, the place was wonderful. For two 50 minute massages, the total was $150. On Wednesdays, for just $5, the place offers the same length massage, plus 50 minutes in a sauna. What a deal! I hope you choose Well Within Spa.

Rarely give 3 starts. Spa facilities appear nice, greeted by young staff rather indifferently. Asked for deep tissue massage and although the therapist was very sweet, started out as Swedish and had to ask several times for a deeper pressure. The therapist was trying and the effort was appreciated. At the end of the treatment, had to find my way out of the labyrinth as no clear direction for exit . Would have been nice if the Therapist walked clients to the reception (as its usually done). At $100 for 50 min ( which actually was 40 min as was started 10 min into session and finished 10 min early) with inexperienced therapist and indifferent staff was just not justified.

The atmosphere here exudes relaxation. I was happy to receive the massage in a room with an open window, through which I could hear the sounds of gently cascading water. Afterwards, I would learn that this was from a koi pond. Soft music filled the room, and the lights were just dim enough to be easy on the eyes at the start and end of the treatment. My massage therapist was very receptive to my needs and provided excellent care in the areas of focus I specified. She spoke softly, and only when necessary, and took pains to make sure I was comfortable throughout. By the time I was through, I was already thinking of when I would come again!

Really pretty and private Jacuzzis with showers and all. A mix of western and eastern in baths. Everything is private for those worried about having to parade anywhere half clothed. The only thing that made my experience a bit off was the muzak. Synth organ meditation music may be great for some, but Id have preferred silence, or to have some choice in the audio that youre captive to. At least a choice of sound scapes (rain, Dawn with birds, etc) or music in keeping with the Japanese theme - atmospheric folk/rural noises/music of Japan. Otherwise a great experience otherwise.

As a grad student on a shoestring budget, I really only visit Well Within when my stress level reaches a fever pitch. It is amazing what difference an hour of unplugged soak time can make. It is a masterfully designed calm-inducing space and just knowing this refuge is there when I need it brings me peace. A couple recent exchanges with the owners make it clear to me that they are truly invested in healing and wellness of the community- showing generous support for people I know who have been affected by trauma.

The Well Within creates an otherworldly atmosphere. I was first introduced this place 25 years ago ( at the old location ) and found it the most relaxing experience ever. Nothing has changed. On my last visit the staff were just as friendly and peaceful, the tubs just as amazing as ever. I have never had a massage here, just a very nice private tub where an hour seems like eternity and you leave feeling clean inside and out. Use the peppermint soap and enjoy the tea.

Rent a sauna and jacuzzi under the stars to zen out for an hour. This place also has great skincare products and magical tea. Some rooms can even hold up to 8 people at a time but I recommend to keep it intimate and relaxing with 4 or less.

Perhaps I am biased because I work at the Well but I am also a long time massage receiver. I highly recommend Adam for the Deluxe Aromatherapy Massage. The combination of this skin care treatment and his massage style is superb!

Tranquil and relaxing. View of the koi pond outside. Only 2 weak jets in a worn jacuzzi. Would have liked cleaner water especially since we were first in for the day.

Lovely place. Nooks and cranny rooms with a japanese aesthetic. Attention to details was nice. A place for a relaxing wash and a massage. Worth a visit.

The tub overlooking the koi pond is my favorite. Love sitting in the hot water watching them float by the waterfall through a window open wide.

Nice place to go. They have a good 2-person deal if you get the hot tub with the massage for both people. Always a nice treat.
