I had such a wonderful experience with Ashley! She gave me a **Microdermabrasion Diamond Facial** and a **PemSpa Relaxation Massage**, and I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing and refreshing treatments I’ve had. Ashley was incredibly professional, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire session. The facial left my skin feeling so smooth, bright, and rejuvenated, and the massage was the perfect way to unwind. She really took the time to make sure I was comfortable and explained everything she was doing, which made the experience even better.

It was my first visit to PemSpa. I had a fantastic experience with Jo for a ninety minute massage. Jo was SO skillful and just knew where to focus her attention to help me loosen and relax. She listened to what my goals were and took it from there. I’ve already booked my next massage with her.

Fabulous work. Jo really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her. Best massage therapist I have ever had and I have had many massages at different places.

We had a couples massage for the 4th time, and we love it! We appreciate the professionalism, care and strength of all our therapists, and the entire experience is excellent. We'll be coming back when we need to relax and connect.

This spa is the best and one of the nicest and most professional massage shops that I have ever worked with! From the seamless check-in to the peaceful aura all around, I felt relaxed the moment I stepped in. My masseuse Marina was a star, too and she helped to treat all of my problem areas with ease. I’m so grateful to have discovered Praan Thai Massage and I will most definitely be back again soon. Thanks so much! 🧘🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

This was my 5th massage at Praan and they never disappoint. I got the 45 min Head, Neck & Shoulders + 45 min Foot Reflexology services with Vicky and was so deeply relaxed afterward you would have had to peel me off the table. I’ll 100% be back very soon

This was the best massage we’ve ever had. We got a couples massage and massage therapists were extremely good, intuitive, listened and checked in throughout the massage about areas of concern and the amount of pressure applied. They know their craft well. Both of us have had many, many massages over the course of our lives from different practitioners and with different styles- but this one was the best. Praan massage is above and beyond with the quality of their bodywork. These are true healers- make an appointment and go- your body and health will thank you.

I had a 90 min massage - Head, Neck & Shoulders + Foot Reflexology - I walked in, with so much tension from recent stress and I’ve never walked out of a massage feeling so light loose and relaxed. Every massage experience I have here is magnificent and I can’t speak highly enough of the facility.

I really enjoyed my 90-min massage and left feeling so much better than when I came in. My massage therapist used a really good amount of pressure and did a great job of adjusting when needed. The main drawbacks were: (1) the room was a little chilly for me - the therapist did warm up the table when I mentioned it, which helped, but I would've found it easier to relax if the room were a few degrees warmer. (2) My therapist did ask about medical conditions and so on before starting, but it wasn't really clear what would be relevant to mention. I have a knee that is generally fine except when d

Amazing massage, probably the best I’ve ever had! At the very least, top 3! I felt so relaxed and my masseuse consistently checked in to make sure the pressure was right. Praan really takes care of you.

This place is incredible, massage is both relaxing and a stretch for your muscles.Staff are all lovely and very helpful in the most gracious way possible. Ava is truly wonderful and gives a great medical massage, she's tiny but extremely strong and powerful when it's required and equally lovely person .

This was the best massage I've had in years!! Will be back again for sure and HIGHLY recommend!! Everyone was kind, it's a beautiful space and very relaxing.

I got the "Integrated Body Work" massage with Grace. Her magic hands and feet (yes feet) found crevices I didn't even know I had, and then massaged them out. Her technique gave me the most satisfying combination of relaxing and therapeutic massage. She integrated stretches while massaging that doubled the affect of the massage without making it seem like a sports massage or post work-out stretch. I can't do it justice describing it (which may be why it has such an interesting title) but it is the best massage I've ever had. If you carry your stress in your neck and shoulders, see Grace!

I’ve been seeing Pema for my facials and can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly thoughtful and intentional with every appointment, tailoring each treatment to exactly what my skin needs. Since going to her, my skin has become noticeably clearer and healthier. On top of that, every session is so relaxing! Pema strikes the perfect balance between results driven care and a calming experience. Highly, highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another incredible TMJ massage with Jo. While some parts of the treatment aren’t exactly pleasant (which is to be expected when you’re working through deep tension), Jo is truly a professional and an expert at what she does. I could literally feel the tension melting away as the session went on. I left feeling so much better and already can’t wait for my next appointment!

I just had my first buccal and TMJ therapeutic massage with Josephine Kulp and it was fantastic. She was so kind, respectful, and skilled — and used just the right amount of firm pressure. I noticed a real decrease in jaw tension right away. Such a positive and relieving experience. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back.

Another phenomenal facial at Pema Spa. I’m a loyal customer and have been many, many times—she truly knows exactly what my skin needs every visit. The entire experience is so relaxing, and my skin always looks and feels amazing afterward. I genuinely look forward to my appointment every six weeks. Can’t recommend enough.
