Conny was excellent, she asked very good questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire massage. She gave me great tips for after massage care. I will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10

I received an intensely relaxing and healing massage with Conny. She listened carefully to my concerns and addressed them thoroughly. I would highly recommend Conny and can’t wait to repeat my visit to the East village Spa.

Was looking to treat myself, and thought I'd give them a try. Didn't have a specific provider in mind, but I ended up with Desiree. Best. Facial. Ever. I literally floated out of there. She walked me through some of the things that were done, gave me warnings when needed, pressure for the massages was great. Will definitely be coming back!!!!!
