Tao Sage

DO NOT purchase a groupon for this place!!! I got a groupon for 3 massages. The first two were very strange, but I figured I would just finish out the third. I always had to text the lady to confirm my appt bc she never did it herself… and I went to my appt and was informed that she picked up and moved to Brazil without telling anyone. So save yourself the trouble and avoid this massage place :)

Very unprofessional business run here by this woman. She is rude, rushed and doesn’t listen to what you have to tell her. I’m writing this review because I have had bad experience with a Groupon that I purchased here, Groupon had to contact her to schedule an appointment and when I went in she confronted me about it very rudely. When Groupon contacted her she called me literally 30 minutes later isn’t that funny after trying for a week and a half. Also when i went in the second time out of my three massages i purchased she tried telling me that i already used it and i told her i can show you on my calendar when i came in there is a lack of communication and organization with her schedule. I had called several times left several voicemails and even text her! As for massage she tends to be sloppy, rushed and uses waaaay too much lotion. She always says she’s busy, which I understand managing my own business I am too but I do get back to my customers within a day or two. She takes a week or longer. Buyer Beware of this unprofessional business. Groupon refunded me because of this bad experience!

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT patronize this business!
I bought a Groupon for massages here. I called twice to make an appt, and received no return call. I even tried emailing on the website, and got no response there either. So I called Groupon to intervene. Hmm, then she called me to make an appt — imagine that!
However, the first appt was for 3 ½ weeks out. Lovely! I am having back issues and the first available appt isn’t for over three weeks!
The appt was for a Friday. The Tuesday before she texted me (her preferred method of communication — which is not noted anywhere on the website or Groupon BTW) and asked me to change my appt to 4:15pm. I rearranged per her request which is not easy for us normal people who work! Then on Friday, the appt day, she texted me just before 2pm and asked me to change it back to 6pm. OMG! Are you joking? I refused. That’s absurd, and unacceptable given all had already done to get the appt and that she had just asked me earlier in the week to adjust for her.
I called Groupon, filled them in and got a refund instead. I do not want to frequent a business like this, and neither should you.

Just had my first massage from this petite, powerhouse masseuse, June. Probably one of the best massages I have ever had. She is strong, and she dug deep but for someone like myself who has neck and shoulder issues the pressure she applied was needed. Using hot towels in between «going at you» was something I had never experienced and it really made a huge difference. I am already experiencing tremendous range of motion in my neck that has not been there for quite some time. She is VERY fair priced and I have already booked my next appointment for three weeks from today!

I was given a Groupon as a gift, and as a new mom, I REALLY needed a massage. My husband works out of town and I wanted to go during the week, so I scheduled on a Thursday thinking my mom could help out. I didn’t know that she and my dad were going on a short trip that week, so I tried to go by myself with my 4 month old, hoping that she would be asleep by the time of the massage (it was right around her nap time). She didn’t fall asleep in time, but June was VERY understanding and sweet, insisting that we reschedule even though she has a 24-​hour cancellation policy. I felt bad that she couldn’t fill that slot, but I promised to tip her generously at our next visit. And of course, my baby fell asleep 10 minutes later during the stroller ride back to the car… figures. =-)
SO… I returned a few weeks later with my mom, and she babysat while June gave me my massage. I usually get a Swedish, but because my muscles were so knotted from holding the baby and nursing, June suggested deep tissue would be more therapeutic. I consented. Many people dislike deep tissue because it is more intense than Swedish, but let me tell you, I NEEDED it. It was uncomfortable at times, but it really made a difference later on in reducing my overall tension. June said deep tissue is so much more effective than Swedish in having a lasting effect, and she was right! My back and shoulders have felt so much better since then. But it is not for the faint of heart — if you want a gentle tickly massage, request a Swedish.
Besides the actual massage, I really appreciated that June was so accommodating. I have had other massage therapists who were not understanding when I was pregnant and trying to use a Groupon but had to cancel when I found out I couldn’t use it for prenatal without extra charge, and they voided my whole Groupon because I cancelled too late. June could have told me that mine was void because of the complication with having the baby with me, but she is very kind and takes things into consideration. I also appreciate her training in Chinese massage, as it was great for my sore back. And yes, I tipped her generously, and I hope to see her again as motherhood will continue to stress the muscles in my back.
June is a professional with a heart, and very good at what she does. =-)

This is not a spa or even a rented spot in a spa.
She does ask you questions about areas of concern and what kind of pressure you like.
She does use hot towels on your back and asks you if the temperature of the towels are okay. But she uses a ton of massage lotion! I mean a crap ton of massage lotion! I had to wash my flip flops and immediately shower as soon as I got home.
As for the massage, It was so sloppy and jumpy. She was swinging her arms in such an aggressive motion that I got hit in the head a couple of times. And when I told her that something wasn’t working for me, she insisted it was supposed to help. I don’t care if it’s supposed to help if I’m jumping off the table. Adjust your technique woman!
So weird! Not going back.

Honestly, I wish I could give them zero stars. This review is not based on the massage, as we never actually got one due to June’s unprofessionalism and awful scheduling. I purchased a Groupon for this business for my husband, based on the great reviews it has. We have been attempting to reach June for weeks to make an appointment, and she never returned our calls. I even sent text messages, and no response there either. Upon finally getting back to my husband last weekend (one week prior to the voucher’s expiration), we were able to schedule her one and only open spot for today (the day the voucher expires) at 4:45 pm. This was very inconvenient for us, but not wanting the voucher to expire, my husband booked the appointment. On our way to the appointment, we realized we would probably be about 10 minutes late, so to be courteous, we called June to let her know. She immediately began lecturing us about how it is rude to be late, and that she showed the appointment at 4:30, not 4:45, so actually, we were already late. She went on to say she had another appointment in about 20 minutes, so she would not be able to honor our appointment, and that it was our fault. I explained to her that she was incorrect in her recollection of the scheduled appointment time, apologized for running a bit late, and that we’d be there soon. She began getting extremely rude with us, and then said she would not take my husband today, but that we could reschedule, pay the full amount since the Groupon voucher expired today, plus a fee for rescheduling. I told her that was absurd, and she said she no longer wanted to do business with us and that we should just try to return the Groupon. This lady is EXTREMELY unprofessional, and I would honestly advise taking your business elsewhere. There are so many great massage places in town, and the experience should be calming, not disastrous! I’ve never been treated so poorly by any business ever in my life, and will make sure to tell all of my friends and family to AVOID this place like the plague. I HIGHLY suggest you do the same!

Posting this review a few weeks late!
But she is amazing! I got a groupon last time and she helped my back so much! She really listened to what I was saying and focused on my problem areas. And I love that she uses hot towels to help the muscles loosen up. I have my second session with her tonight and can’t wait:)
highly recommend!

Love this place, my new favorite massage therapist. Wow, June is really something else. I feel like a million bucks. So relaxed and just feel fantastic. Full Body massage that was just incredible. She took her time with me and made feel comfortable, pleasant and at ease. I will be going back to her again and again. Stop wasting your time and go see her now!

I came here a few weeks ago and I have to say I’m impressed. June gets the job done! I came in with pain in my back and shoulders and walked out relaxed feeling like a new woman. She has a strong touch, which I like, but is mindful of the pressure you ask for. Overall, I recommend her! I’ll be back!

this is a no frills get the job done kinda place perfect for anyone with pain. i walked in with incapacitating back pain and walked out with none, relaxed and rejuvenated. June is a healer her hands are strong, and precise, she has all different kinds of techniques. i was in critical pain so she went deep and took it away. Really cant say enough great things.

June is the most thorough massage therapist that I have ever been to! She is hidden secret of talent that will not stay a secret long. Definitely, allow her to show you how great she is. Just simply amazing at what she does!

June is an excellent massage therapist. She really knows how to get the knots out. The first time she massaged me I knew she was a professional. She can give a true deep tissue massage. She is very strong. Highly recommended.
