Elements Massage - Salmon Creek

I generally love Elements Massage and have been a member for a very long time. I was a faithful member of the Carlsbad, Ca. location who had very professional massage therapists. I love LouElllen, she is amazing when I can book her at the Vancouver location. However a few times I have had a massage by Mitch. Although he seems like a very nice guy, he really doesn't give good massages or know what he's doing. He talked about himself thru most of the massage. I got to hear about his "cutting saw accident" and how he was out of work for 2 weeks. He cut off the tip of his finger. Ok sure, I have sympathy for him, but really? Do you think you should tell the person your given a professional massage to that? Look, we all have problems, but please don't share yours with me when I paid for your professional service!

I didn't do any research coming in to getting my first prenatal massage. And usually I do- just so i know whose my masseuse and what they specialize in. But I was like eh- let me try them out first and go from there. The scheduling process is pretty simple, I created an online account and they gave me a call a few days later to confirm my information for the appointment. At this time (2/3/23) I got the 90 minute prenatal massage at member price ($119) which would've been a ($165) massage for nonmember.

They sent me the forms to fill out before heading to the appointment, which was nice because then you're greeted and asked if you want to use the restroom and have some water while you wait till your appointment time (which is on the dot).

For first time clients, I was introduced to Brenda and she walked me through the massage and what to expect. She consulted with me about areas I wished to be worked on more- which she really took into consideration because it was amazing and I felt that my problem areas that day were treated (lower back and neck)

During the prenatal massage, she had me on my sides and switched halfway through to work on either left / right side. This was fine for me as I didn't expect to nap since I was a little tense being my first massage, pregnant. I would rate the massage I had more of a deep tissue / pressure point massage. Which is definitely what I needed. You can say what pressure you wanted (light or firm) and say how comfortable you are with the areas being touched.

Overall, such a great first time experience. I decided to go with the monthly membership with is $119 for 90 minutes. They give you 2 dates to choose when the payment will be deducted (1st day or 15th day of each month). When you're ready to cancel your membership, you're able to do so with a 30 day notice. If you want make it to the appointment for that month, you're able to roll them over and use them within the year of the date of appointment. Just amazing stuff that comes with the membership. My favorite, is adding my husband for the price of ONE- yes you read that correctly. $119 for me and my husband. AMAZING.

Definitely coming back with Brenda as my masseuse.

Bethany is an absolute god send! I've been dealing with low back pain and sciatic and she was so kind and attentive making sure to bring me some relief. Not only did she focus on my trouble zone, she made sure to check my entire back, neck and shoulders for more locked up tension. I signed up to become a member and already scheduled an appointment for next week: thank you!!

6/10, had Leah.

The masseuse seemed a little timid and only covered the lower half of arms and legs.

8/10 for the foot massage, that was on point.

Amazing! Enjoyed my facial at Elements! I will be back over and over. Relaxing atmosphere and could t have relaxed more

Brenda was amazing and spent a lot of time working out the various knots throughout my back. She consistently checked on me to ensure the pressure wasn't too soft or hard. I signed up for a membership and am so happy I can make this a monthly routine!

i've had a lot of massages in my life but this was, i'm pretty sure, the best one i've ever had. my masseuse, i can't remember his name but he was amazing & absolutely attacked every single knot in my back. i was actually sore the next day, which has never happened, & i feel some of the knots are actually gone. it's amazing because i've really gotten hundreds of massages & while i felt great after all of them this one was like everything that i needed. i'm getting a 2 hour massage with the same person in 2 weeks, instantly signed up for a membership, & booked one for my husband for father's day!

I'm an icu nurse, and it's been very stressful working during covid. I finally decided I need to relax and get a massage. I scheduled an appointment and was really looking forward to it. When they called and I told them I work with covid cases, they said they can't take me in. I understand that so I said I'll test and will bring the results when I come, and they still denied me. I'm very disappointed and saddened for their lack of support.

I've been going to Elements massage in Salmon Creek for years now. Their receptionists are super friendly. I like that they have lots of different masseuse's on staff and how it's always super clean. Also love their app for scheduling appointments and that they are open long hours. I highly recommend Cherry and Brenda!

Good place to get a massage. That's not why I am writing a one star review. The therapists I have worked with

Why I *am* writing a one-star review is that this particular massage studio decided it was permissible to reinstate a membership that I had cancelled, 4 months after I had declined to renew and let them know I would decide. Apparently their policy is to put these memberships on hold (which is incredulous as I had explicitly asked to cancel).

Take your money elsewhere. The therapists are good, but the business practices are not.

Would not recommend this place for a relaxing massage. It is more for getting work done on some pain
