Aaduri Healing Arts

I love Linda! Her hands are magical! Very small quaint studio. I called on a whim and spoke to Linda. I informed her of a medical condition that I suffer from. She was very familiar and wanted to do a little more research to prepare for my visit, so she asked me to come in a week later! Cool! She customized a massage for me that left me feeling like a jellyfish afterwards. I like her warmth and willingness to work with me. She is very personable yet professional.
Can’t wait until my next visit!

My dad found this place and saw Vanessa. He was so impressed that he bought me a gift certificate so I could come here. Finally I found the time on a Saturday. It was so easy to make an appointment and Vanessa was amazing! I love that she took the time to talk to me before the appointment began and had me pick out an aromatherapy scent. The massage was magical too! After the massage she even showed me some stretches to do in the morning. I can’t wait to go back!

THOROUGHLY pleased with my massage here. I purchased a deal last year but wound up having surgery so had to delay cashing in on my deal by a few months. I sent an email to the owner (Kim) and she contacted me back immediately and was knowledgeable about the amount of time to wait before having a massage after the type of surgery I had.
If you’re not familiar with the area you’ll miss it so just look for the McDonald’s at the intersection of Harford Rd & Moravia and park in the parking lot immediately to the left of the McDonald’s lot. The building right next to it houses Aaduri along with Chef Mac’s and a few other businesses.
My appointment was with Linda. When I saw her athletic build my first thought was-​with that athletic build she’s GOT to be a hiker! My second fearful thought was-she’s going to snap me like a twig! Fortunately, she did anything but! Her technique was extremely thorough and relaxing. Normally, I make it a point to stay awake during massages so I can enjoy feeling the stress leave my body but Linda’s massage had me fighting sleep like a baby in bedtime denial. I think after about 45 minutes of fighting I shamefully gave in during the last few minutes and lapsed into pampered slumber. Yes, it felt THAT good. Kudos to Linda for a great job, I’ll be sure to book her on my next visit. You could follow suit but from the previous reviews it looks like no matter which therapist you get, you’ll love your massage no matter what.
S.N. As I was heading to the parking lot, I noticed the car parked next to me had a bumper sticker that boasted hiking as a sport. Wonder whose car that was :)

Just had a massage with Kelly. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Such a great therapist. Great environment. Very positive experience. Made me feel so comfortable and my back is thanking me for it today.

Nice relaxing spa. Linda gives a great massage and offered helpful stretching techniques. The aromatherapy massages includes your choice of scents from a large selection of scented oils by local artisans, which was a nice touch.

We came with a customer-​created problem (ie our fault) and Kim was very understanding and offered us a lower rate anyways. Also, one of her therapists had an emergency, and couldn’t make the appointment, but she stepped in anyways and did the appointment, staying well past her typical closing time. As far as the massages we received, they were very good. The massage oil was the least ‘oily’ that I’ve experienced, the foot/​hand scrub was simple, aromatic, and non-​oily too; the experience, which could have been chaotic, was great. Kim (and Vanessa) showed a great deal of professionalism and kindness, which convinced us that this is the place to go for massages, even if it takes an hour to get there. Prices could be considered high (around $ 75/​hr), but packages are available for a lower average cost per session. Regardless of price, it IS well worth it.

I ended up trying Aaduri Healing Arts because my husband purchased a Groupon for me, and I am so, so glad he did. I was welcomed the minute I walked through the door. The waiting area boasts comfortable chairs, relaxing music, Eastern décor, and a tabletop fountain — which helped me to relax right away. Not to mention, the place smells heavenly!
I had a 1-​hour aromatherapy massage with Vanessa. I can honestly say that it was the best massage I have ever received. Yes, she helped me to relax, but more than that, she actually helped my body feel better. Before the session, she asked me if I had any problem areas. My neck was particularly sore and I made that need known.
Once I was on the heated massage table (a nice bonus!), she started the session by compressing my entire body with her hands. She explained that she was trying to feel for any tension. She asked what kind of pressure I preferred and if there was any body part that she could not touch.
With a general understanding of my needs and my body, she began the treatment. She intuitively seemed to know when I needed a firmer or more deep touch. She also helped me with passive stretching throughout the session.
Towards the end of my session, and after she had already worked on my neck, she was massaging my feet. She asked me if my neck was still sore, because she could sense it in my feet. I was honestly relieved to have her ask, because it still was a bit sore. She then returned to my neck, going deeper, and helping me to stretch it out. Finally, I felt like I had some relief.
Once our session had concluded and I was dressed again, Vanessa took the time to show me some stretches for my neck that I could do throughout my day to help with the pain. I was very appreciative of this extra touch.
I would definitely recommend Aaduri Healing Arts. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Groupon had a deal, as they always do and I decided I should pamper myself. I have to say Kim gives the best massages. I’ve had a few overseas where the therapist puts everything into it — their whole body and Kim does the exact same thing. When I arrived Kim took the time to sit down with me and ask about my ailments, focus areas and level of intensity that I like in a massage. I liked the fact that Kim was attentive and took the time to find out what I liked prior to starting. Kim is awesome and I definitely plan on going back, in fact I would pay full price!

I’m a runner and just started training for another race. This time around I decided to incorporate more massages into my training. I was looking around for a massage therapist and stumbled upon the reviews on Unilocal for Kim. I just returned from my first massage with her and it was an incredible experience. Not only did Kim work out my IT bands and my shoulders, but she also paid close attention to my neck. I’ve never had such a wonderful neck massage! The ambiance inside Aaduri Health Arts is relaxing and calm, definitely worth the trip! I highly recommend Kim.

I had been searching for a massage therapist in the area for a few years! Probably once or twice a year I would do a thorough search all over the internet for a massage place that was nearby — always with so-​so results. Either the place didn’t look great, or the location wasn’t great, or it was questionable — always an issue. Aaduri Healing Arts happened to be running a promotion through a local animal rescue where a portion of a massage would be donated. Being a huge animal activist, and seeing that the location was close, my husband and I decided to give it a try. And we have now become regulars. The location is convenient to NE Baltimore, Nottingham, Overlea, Parkville, etc. It is a quiet location and the work that Kim has done to the location is amazing. It is just a peaceful, calm place. And! — free parking, which is pretty much unbeatable when in Hamilton.
She always starts out asking if there is a problem area you need work on and will go from there. We are not hard to please, but we can be picky when it comes to massages. We want to leave feeling like something actually happened. And we both walk out of there feeling tremendously better — relaxed, my posture is better, just generally feeling great.
Also, having gone to some other small places, and having looked into big and small alike — the prices are very competitive. If anyone were to ever ask for a recommendation, I would absolutely recommend Kim and Aaduri Healing Arts. My other recommendation: spend the extra $ 20 and get a 1 ½ hour massage rather than just an hour. It makes such a major, major difference.
For those of you who also like to support small, local businesses — here’s your chance.
As an added bonus — you can book online, which is super convenient.
If you’re sitting there reading this, and you’re still undecided — why not just try one massage like we did, just to see what you think, and then make up your mind from there?

I look forward to my massage every week! Kim is incredible at what she does and because of her I experience fewer headaches and body aches than before I started seeing her.

I have been getting massages for twenty years, and am needful for them … Kim is an incredible therapist. She is present, tuned in and thorough. Anyone will walk out of her room a new person.
You’ll be glad you called.
Andddd, she gives you a reminder call! Bonus!
