Tranquility For Mind & Body Wellness Spa

I have heard amazing things about this spa. Not only does everyone I know go and LOVE it but the second I walked in I was entrigued and fell instantly in love with the atmosphere. I scheduled an appointment to get my legs waxed. I was impressed by their ability to accomodate my schedule when making an appointment. They were very nice and I was impressed by the facilities, HOWEVER. I was very less than impressed with the waxing job that I received. My full leg wax took over an hour and I left with huge patches of hair and wax left all over my legs. The woman who did my leg wax also did not rip off the strips quick enough and would often slip half way through leaving the strip half on my legs mid pull (ouch). I usually go to a nail salon in Milford to get my legs done (I am very pleased with this salon) but I wanted to try a higher end experience but now I wished I had gone to the nail salon instead. I would go back to Tranquility spa for other procedures such as massages, facials, or manicures, BUT I would not go back to get waxed.

Booked a custom facial and had a great experience. Had my hands and feet massaged as part of the experience and a scalp massage. As a mother of a four month old, I was so glad I took the time to visit Tranquility and get some much needed pampering. Debbie gave some skincare product recommendations but was not pushy at all. Overall great time and I will be back.

Had a couples deep tissue massage with steam afterwards. Good environment an good staff.
My masseuse did additional work on a recent knee injury of mine loosening up my leg and leaving me feeling great.

Amazing space… amazing staff… amazing service. I was so impressed. I live in Wallingford and will travel to Milford.

Depends what you’re after. I went for a deep tissue massage (for a problematic shoulder) and ended up falling asleep… That can be a massage, and a good one, but it isn’t really deep tissue, and it wasn’t very helpful. Combined with the odd location (inside a physical therapy practice), I couldn’t recommend this place.

Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Was able to make an appointment for a tranquility massage one day in advance. Great, spacious area, left me with complete relaxation as I was looking for. Wonderful aromatherapy, it was a perfect massage!

EVER time I go here it’s top notch!!! You get a email to confirm your appt, and a reminder phone call. When there you get nothing but fantastic customer service and the best massage in CT. This place makes you feel like a million dollars!!! LOVE IT

Beautiful and very clean spa! Came here for a girl’s day with my friend who was the Bride-​to-​be, got mani/​pedis. The staff was so sweet and inviting, provided excellent service and provided us with great snacks and wine for our spa party! It was peaceful and relaxing! Will definitely pass the word along about this place!!!

Meh. If it wasn’t for Rachel and Lauren I probably would never come back. I dealt with an older blonde lady at the front and she’s not very pleasant, a bit awkward actually. Rachel is a wonderful esthetician and Lauren is a very friendly, sincere receptionist.

Best spa ever. Locally owned and operated by a lovely family and their services menu is expansive.
I’ve never done the yoga or had their nail services (you aren’t surprised are you) but I have had and will have countless massages and facials here. This place is classy with modern décor, relaxing mood music and always met with great service and quality massages from licensed massage therapists.
I have had a few friends not be nearly as pleased with them as I have been, but this place easily trumps any local competition in my mind.
I do wish they had a steam room or sauna but their steam showers and locker rooms are amazing.
If you come I highly recommend getting a deep tissue massage and requesting Maria. She is hands down the best therapist there and her hands are magical. Walk in stressed, leave ready to conquer the world.

This was my second positive experience here. I had a wonderful Swedish massage here today with Maria. The spa is clean and all the employees are considerate and calm.
Maria introduced herself and escorted me to the «locker room» where I was able to lock my belongings in a locker that was stocked with a clean robe, flip flops, and a Lindt truffle. Mmm.
I was greeted in the waiting area by Maria who showed me to the room and left for a few moments so I could disrobe and get comfy on the heated massage table. She checked to see if I was ready, reentered and got to work. The massage was heavenly. She had nice, fluid strokes and perfect pressure. I had a couple knots that she worked out, but didn’t focus solely on them. She would work them, massage the areas around, and come back until they were unkinked.
When it was over she quietly let me know she’d be outside the door when I was ready. She let me know I was welcome to water, tea, and a granola/​nut assortment. There are also showers available if I felt the desire.
I highly recommend Tranquility and plan on returning soon.

My absolutely favorite thing about Tranquility is the amazing service. You leave feeling totally refreshed and pampered beyond belief. Plus they offer monthly wellness packages… so smart!

I have been to this establishment for multiple massages and a couples massage. Every time I go the staff is always so pleasant. They have a robe and slippers waiting for you in the locker room with a Lindt chocolate. Normally I get the 60 min swedish massage and the rooms are very tranquil. They have an internal speaker system so the relaxing music is playing throughout the entire building. Once the massage is over the massage therapist brings you into the tranquil room where they have lemon water, cucumber water, as well as a hot tea of the week. This is where you can take a moment to «wake up» after the massage. They also offer a steam shower after the massage to remove the oil. The shower is wonderful and I even enjoy the smells of the shampoo and conditioner they offer. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a wonderful relaxing massage.
As far as the other services go I have yet to try them. So I cant review those at this time. But this would be the place to go for a massage!

Tranquility for Mind and Body Wellness Spa continues to be my favorite spa experience. I have tried other spas over the years and I always prefer Tranquility. The staff is efficient and friendly. I never feel pressured into buying products or services that I am not interested in. My most recent service was a spa pedicure and custom facial with Rachael. My toes still look fabulous after almost two weeks. Rachael has done wonders with my very sensitive dry skin. She is highly educated in all aspects skin care and often gives me tips and advice on proper skin care régime. I always feel so happy and relaxed when I leave. I highly recommend Tranquility Spa to others and have referred many friends and family members to the spa.

Had a rejuvenating facial with Rita. Best facial experience I’ve had, and I have had quite a few facials in NYC. Staff was friendly. Gave 4 stars because I haven’t tried the other services yet but would give 5 for Rita’s facial. Everything from the facial to scalp, shoulders and hand massage were so relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service. Extremely friendly staff. They never try to rush you in or out and truly make your stay welcoming and relaxing. Best massage in the area.

I received 3 pre-​natal massages during my pregnancy (ask for Maria!) and each time, not only was the massage incredible, but I felt very taken care of from the minute I walked in the door. I do wish the relaxation area in this spa was a bit more indulgent — this one seems more like just a place to wait for your appointment to start instead of a destination to relax and recharge. However, décor and facilities are beautiful, clean and peaceful. Thanks Maria!

I have to say I was not impressed by the manicure that I had here. I purchased a Groupon, so it was an affordable experience, but I still wouldn’t return. The manicurist was extremely rough, especially when filing the surface of my nails and trimming my cuticles. When I expressed this, she mentioned that I was «sensitive». One of my cuticles scabbed over later that day, so don’t think my sensitivity was to blame. She did do a hand massage, which was nice. The polish looked ok, not the greatest.
In general, this place is trying. You can tell that they’ve attempted to make the interior aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not quite there. I’ll be seeking a better alternative.

Nicole aggressively removed my cuticles for a holistic manicure. It was not a relaxing experience at all. She apologized for making a finger bleed. It stung when the alcohol was applied. She was nice enough to correct a smudge I brought on myself for trying to leave in a hurry. but this place isn’t even worth a discount with the Groupon. We had a nice conversation. The manicure station is at a strange place, situated next to the entrance. I will not return.

Sleepy little Milford is starting to get all hip and progressive with the new wellness spa in town. Home for a few weeks from a decade of living in various metropoli, I decided to check out their «detox ritual bath» with volcanic mud and spirulina. I thought to myself, «Well that sounds nice. My liver needs all the help she can get, and mudbaths have long touted the chelating benefits of detox through the skin, easing the burden on your internal filtering organs.»
The nice lady on the phone explained to me there was a private hydrotherapy room and the space was truly beautiful and tranquil. The tub was actually built for couples so I could bring someone for the price of one bath. «Oo!» I thought. I told them to make the appointment for me, but I would likely bring someone along as I thought I could talk my boyfriend into a hippy dippy mud bath.
We arrive for our appointment on the Saturday afternoon. The tiny waiting room is congested with ladies, and decorated by someone who obviously wanted to be artistic and new-​agey but didn’t quite know how to evoke «tranquility» within a space. Fung shui didn’t seem to be their strong suit. They could have been color blind as well.
The receptionist seemed confused when I told her I had an appointment and it took several repetitions of my statement of purpose before she was able to put together that there should have been a bath for me drawn somewhere in the bowels of that spa. They were utterly confused when they discovered it was to be a couples bath, even though they were the ones to suggest it.
Finally we got it all straightened out and our kind and soft-​stepped attendants took each of us to our respective locker rooms where we were provided with robes, slippers and lockers. The locker room was a little difficult to maneuver as it was cramped with 3 people in there; it wasn’t small per se, but just designed poorly. The changing bench and locker room are right by the door. However, after being led to another waiting space with cucumber infused water and walking through the calm recesses of the spa, I wound down and began look forward to the bath.
The two attendants took us to a room with candles, a pitcher of lemon water and a large bubbling tub. It was indeed beautiful. We were told that it looked shallow but it would be «alright». It was hot enough when we got in, but within 5 minutes it cooled down substantially and we discovered the reason for the shallow bath when we tried the faucet: they ran out of hot water. Not a great thing for a spa, and I wasn’t looking forward to the shower I would need to get all the mud and spirulina off me.
I mentioned this to the attendant who took me back to the locker room after our 20 minute bath and prepared a shower for me. She wasn’t too concerned. The only thing that kept me from asking for my money back after the lukewarm shower was the glorious heated steam that began to fill the shower, opening my pores and warming me up! The shower turned into a mini steam room!
Upon checkout, we learned that since there was a bath before us, «sometimes» that causes the hot water to run out. We also learned that they weren’t too concerned about the half-​filled tub, the lukewarm bath and shower, and that the attendant for the men’s locker room apparently forgot to turn on the steam for my boyfriends’ shower. No compensation was offered, even with the manager/​owner standing right there.
It bummed me out because I don’t ever feel like spending money there again given the lackadaisical service. The place had potential, and I would have gone back even with the tacky décor had they made sure our experience was at the least, what we paid for.
