Caressence Therapeutic Massage

My daughter gifted me a 60 minute therapeutic massage for Mother’s Day. My shoulder was still hurting from a minor auto accident and my feet were killing. Ambience of office was not very appealing. Looked as if they were just getting started and acquired old furniture and massage tables. But all that was negated when I actually received my massage. Francese was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to assess my problem and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. She used therapeutic techniques to relieve the pain first then ended with full massage. I recommend Francese for particular problem areas. 4 stars to Francese but 2 stars for ambience.

I recently ran a half marathon so my body was really sore. I found a Groupon for this location so I called and booked an appointment the same day. The location was easy for me to get to and parking is a non-​issue. Upon arrival I was offered some water and filled out my intake form. Francise (sp) game me my massage. It was a combination of various techniques according to the needs of my body. She explained her approach and gave me some tips on what to do on my own. I truly enjoyed the session and will try to make a habit out of it.

I used Groupon to have a try, and it was really good! Cherron is a very professional therapist and it is a quiet place. The best thing is that they do not try to sell, but just focus the massage, which enhance my interest to continue coming and happy to know any deals

I purchased my 60 minutes swedish massage from Groupon. I purchased it months ago and scheduled an appointment for today with Nicole. When scheduling months ago it was quick fast and easy. Nicole contacted me right away and booked my appointment.
This was my first ever massage so I was extremely nervous on how things were going to go.
I was greeted immediately upon entering. Staff was friendly and professional. I completed a intake form before beginning and immediately was brought back to the massage room to begin (I did arrive on time 15 minutes ahead). Nicole explained everything to me step by step on how a massage typically goes. Even though I was nervous I went full force and got undressed and laid under the covers for the full experience. Nicole talked me through the process along with having small casual talk but not too much where it took me away from the relaxation experience of the massage which helped me to feel more comfortable with the massage experience but also knowing you are having a new person massaging your body for the first time.
The suite was clean, fresh, with calm music playing. The rooms were dimly light and spacious for me.
Overall, for my first time massage I really enjoyed the experience and definitely will be going back soon for another scheduled massage and body wrap to try.

I love that my masseuse explained the benefits of some natural remedies for my ailments. I took the time to make sure I wrote down everything that was going on with my body and she also took the time to make sure she went over natural remedies with me which was great. My massage was really good and it totally relaxed me. I almost fell asleep, I actually thought I was home in my bed.

I found Caressence on Groupon about two years ago, and have been a customer since. I get a massage there almost monthly and I have been happy with each session. I have had both Lori and Nicole work on me and they are both great. They are very professional and friendly. The office is always clean and calming. There was a time or two where I actually fell asleep on the table, and I’ve never done that with any other massage. The only wish I have is that the rooms could be a bit darker, but other than that, I love it.

Purchased a Groupon for Caressence Massage, booked my appt on line (very convenient) and went yesterday to cash in. The place is situated in a office suite in a business park in Greenbelt. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. The interior was quaint– 2 chairs, a sofa and a front desk. The massage room was clean, spacious and smelled of armomatics; not overpowering. My massage was with the owner; Nicole. She was friendly and focused on my problem areas. Received a flyer to come back at a reduced rate. I would definitly rebook.

The only bummy part about this clinic is that it’s so difficult to schedule appointments b/​c they are so booked up!!! After the groupon session, i purchased two more gift certificates to use in the future at the same price. I went again a few weeks ago and found that she hired new masseuse. I had an older gentleman this time and he was very respectful, performed an amazing 60 minute (not 55 minutes or 50 minutes), but full 60 min deep tissue with perfect pressure. I highly suggest going to Caressence instead of any of those chains, support local businesses!

I used my Groupon this Saturday for a massage at Caressence. I liked it so much I took advantage of their other special for first-​time customers and bought one for my boyfriend! The location is in Greenbelt (PG County) near the Hanover Parkway shopping center with the Bally Total Fitness, Old Navy and Chevy’s (had lunch at Chevy’s after the massage). It is not a spa, but more like a nice doctor’s office. I was greeted immediately upon entering and offered a glass of water. I did have to wait a while for another client to finish up, but it was a quiet, pleasant wait (I brought a book with me).
Annette is great. She has strong hands and her strokes are fabulous. I had a massage once at the Taschler Institute, which was fabulous, and I didn’t think it could be better than that, but I must say I think Annette was better. She found a spot on my back that was knotted and worked it over like no tomorrow! I didn’t know I carried stress in my back but she found it! It bordered on painful at times, but when I let her know I couldn’t take any more, she let up with the heavier pressure. I was so relaxed and stress free by the time that I left, I decided that massages are a necessity to my monthly regimen (I will be getting them as much as I can!).
Pluses — quiet location, near shopping center, one-​on-​one attention, clean room, calming music, personable staff, receipt texted to your phone
Drawbacks — thick massage cream/​oil needs to be washed off once you leave or you will feel oily for the rest of the day. I liked it but I’m thinking my boyfriend might have an issue with that.
I recommend Caressence (thumbs up!).

Aurora gave me a fantastic massage. Definitely in the upper end of good massages. They moved to another location in an office park. Their office sort or resembles a doctors office as opposed to a spa.
The room was okay. I was a bit overheated at first since the room was bright with the windows open on a hot day. My only other complaint was that for the first third of the session I heard the bass of someone else’s music on top of the relaxing music. It was kind of irritating but eventually it subsided.
I found this place from a Homerun deal. They said they’re offering the deal price through end of April so I may return… It’s just that damn 495 traffic…
Also, the address changed.

I got a groupon for Caressence a while back and decided to cash it in this past weekend.
Nicole was very accomodating when scheduling and was she very friendly through out the appointment. She made sure to ask and verify how much pressure I wanted (a lot!) and did a good job making sure I was comfortable.
This is not a luxury spa type massage, as the AC is a bit loud and the space is a bit random. The location is a little confusing since she rents the space from another company. Even though the suite name says something about a colon cleansing company, Nicole’s massages are not nearly that invasive!
Still, this was a great massage especially for the price. I’d go back again!
