"I have been going to Embrace for years now. I see Jenny every month for a massage and I can't say enough good things about her. I also go when I need a pedicure or other spa treatments. Always professional and great service!"
"Was treated to a spa day by friend. Experienced the massage, facial, pedicure and hair style. All of it was amazing. All of the staff we encountered were extremely friendly. Would definitely highly recommend this spa if looking to be pampered."
"The place is beautiful, however level of professionalism is lacking. I got a facial and a pedicure, it was my second time there for a facial and I wouldn’t recommend it. The person who did it had very long nails and I kept thinking she is going to poke my face any minute. I never had this experience at any place before, usually there nails are short. Secondly, when I got the pedicure done I noticed they didn’t clean the bowls properly and the utensils used were in a plastic tub soaking. Proper hygiene to avoid contamination is limited. I hope they fix these issues before any serious problem occurs in the future."
"I have been going to Embrace Spa for years; since back in their old spot, for massages, pedicures, manicures and facials. I love the new location! It's very clean, organized and well kept. They have a points system, which is a fantastic perk, and great offerings in tea/coffee, treats and even wine! The ladies at the front desk are very attentive, and generally know me by name as I come in every 6 weeks or so. Jenny is my massage therapist and she is wonderful! She is very attentive to what I need focused on during each visit. She is super pleasant and easy to talk to (if that's your thing while getting a massage!) and doesn't mind feedback on how the pressure is at all (in fact, she encourages it!). Though, her pressure is always spot on, and she can really get in to those tight spots. I would follow her anywhere, though I do hope she never leaves Embrace Spa because I love it there!"
"I visited Embrace for the first time today, and had a massage with Crystal— it was heavenly, I can’t wait to see her again next month. I really liked the location, and the treatment room was very clean, tidy and relaxing. I’m excited to try more service at Embrace!"
"Serene, fabulous attentive staff. Lovely view overlooking the Bedford Basin. Pampered from the minute you step inside their door until the minute you leave. Perfect spot to go as a group for a mani/pedi!! Make your appointment today - you won't be disappointed!!"
"There was a slight mixup initially because I needed wheelchair accessibility but the staff worked very hard to accommodate me. The lady who did my pedicure was just lovely."
"The best spa experience I have ever enjoyed. I have been mulitple times for one service to doing their ultimate spa package. The place is always clean, and staff are fantastic and friendly. I look forward to going back."
"I had a prenatal massage today with Taylor Soares, and it was absolutely incredible. He worked out all the tension in my back, relieving the intense pain I had been struggling with. I walked in feeling sore and pinched but left feeling completely refreshed and pain-free. Taylor’s expertise and care truly exceeded my expectations—I couldn’t be more impressed! Highly recommend!"
"Claira has seen me for a variety in issues but most notable was my knee where the doc said surgery was the only solution.. I saw Chiro RMT and physio and Claira is the one that helped the most! I went from daily pain to intermittent delaying surgery! Couldn’t recommend her enough!"
"Johanna showed up for me when I really needed it. She’s a true professional — not just sharp in her own field, but well-versed in the areas that ripple into it. And that makes all the difference in how she approaches her work."
"I've seen Claira at Elysis for a couple different issues, with the most significant one being a back injury. She played a key role in my recovery, and I can't thank her enough for helping me bounce back. Claira is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about helping people feel their best. I couldn't recommend her enough!"
"I’ve known Drew for a number of years now and can honestly say that I believe all advice he provides is in my best interest. For years I had issues with my legs with continual injuries while trying to run or workout. No matter what I did I couldn’t fix it. I tried massage and chiro treatments elsewhere, foam rolled and stretched daily, but it wouldn’t get better. When it got to the point that I felt even my basic walking was out of line, I knew I needed a different approach. That’s when I connected with Elysis. The osteopathic treatments I’ve received have changed my alignment entirely and treated the root cause of my problems, not just the symptoms. It’s given me the ability to get back to doing the things I enjoy doing and has eliminated the pain and misalignment I’ve had for years. If you’re looking for solid advice and a treatment plan that are aligned with your needs, I highly recommend Elysis, Drew, and his staff."
"I had a massage with Taylor today. He’s really good, i had a deep tissue massage. Wow i recommend him for sure!"
"First time coming here, I had a prenatal massage with Taylor. Excellent deep tissue massage addressing the concerned areas. It is so nice to have a good massage while pregnant with so many aches and pains. It is also nice that they have the pregnancy pillow so you can lay facing down and are comfortable throughout the appointment. I would give him a 5 star review. There are a few minor things I wanted to share for potential improvements :) Music in the rooms could be a little more appropriate for the occasion. The room was a little noisy from the front desk area, which is not ideal when you are trying to relax. Anyways I will definitely come back."
"After seeing sports medicine doctors, chiros, physios, massage therapists, chiropodists, and more, Alex Paluka at Elysis has been the only practitioner to truly help my recent back issues. His osteopathic approach of treating the entire body and assigning specific, purposeful exercises has been amazingly effective. Huge recommend."
