This place is utterly amazing. I’ve seen several of their talented massage therapists and none of them have disappointed! Vanetta is my go-to for deep tissue and she is so knowledgeable about ways to stretch and exercise so your problem areas can be addressed past your time on her table. I can’t say enough positive things about Red Moon! Everything from your reception by the front desk to the little chocolate square on your way out is thoughtfully planned to give you a totally relaxing experience.

I first went for a Birth Prep Massage on a Thursday evening. I was 41 weeks and 5 days. Vanetta did wonders and we both saw immediate results after my massage. Vanetta helped me to relax allowing my body to go into labor naturally. I gave birth just a short 2 days later early Saturday afternoon. I then returned to Vanetta 7 weeks postpartum to receive a postpartum massage. And again it was everything I needed. I can’t wait to return again.

Love the space and the staff. The massage therapist who worked with me is Vanetta. She put me at ease right away and found all the places I didn’t even realize were holding tension. Her techniques relaxed me and were firm at times to really work through the areas that needed it most. Following the session, she offered some observations about what might be causing some issues. The hour went by quickly even as during the massage, I felt transcended in time.
