Massage in Urbandale

“My husband and I had an excellent experience with Halling Wellness Center. Dr. Halling offers a variety of services and uses various techniques based on your preference and your individual need. We would highly recommend her.“

“I have mixed feelings about posting this review. On one hand, Malia absolutely deserves all the praise because this was hands down the BEST MASSAGE I’ve ever had! On the other hand, I’m a bit selfish and still want to be able to book an appointment with her!

Let me share all the little things that made this an exceptional experience. First, Malia has a very detailed intake form that covers everything from your preferred music, level of conversation, massage technique, and pressure. She tailors the massage exactly to your preferences. For instance, I usually don’t like to talk during a massage, but she’s so engaging. I found myself chatting away, and she would politely respond and then guide me back to focusing on my breathing and relaxation, just as I requested on the intake form.

Secondly, I’m not sure why all massage therapists haven’t invested in padding for their tables, but Malia has, and it feels like lying on a cloud. The room is dark and quiet, except for the background sound of your choice. Since she has her own space, you don’t hear conversations from other therapists and clients, which can be distracting when you’re trying to relax.

Finally, Malia has great energy. She is passionate about her work, and it shows from the moment you meet her!

I hope you enjoyed this review, but please, I beg you, leave me some appointments with her! She’s a rare find, and I don’t want to share her too much! Just kidding. Kinda.“

“I’ve been seeing Paige regularly for massages. She has helped me so much. She really zeroes in on what are my tightest muscles- which changes from massage to massage. She really works to get the knots and muscles loose. She is so encouraging about progress I have been making building some muscle. I leave feeling physically better, emotionally encouraged, and physically prepared to continue my exercise program. I love my massages with Paige.“

“Rod and Stephanie are the best. We started coming here a couple of years ago after a decade with a membership massage chain that had too much turnover for our liking. We've been very happy that we made the switch. Having a reliable masseuse that you can trust and knows you makes big difference in the quality of the massage.“

“I am 70 years old. I enjoyed a beautiful facial today from Cassandra. I am going to her regularly for facials, massage, and reflexology. I have sensitive skin and Cassandra is able to blend gradients for a customized massage. My husband says I look absolutely gorgeous afterward. The problem area that I am most worried about are the dark circles under my eyes. Cassandra is helping diminish these. I truly appreciate that. Cassandra is willing to work with us here in our home state. She is a wonderful human being.“

“I started seeing Andrea on the first day of Track competition when I had the 1500m, Still going through Jet Lag after only arriving One and a bit days before.
I finished 4th in the Final, Next day Steeple, Again Andrea prepared me,I Won Gold, Pan American Masters Champion, next day 5000m Andrea got me ready, Finished 5th outright out of 26 starters, Andrea was amazing, getting me Able to Run, Without Andrea I Would Not have performed well,Let alone Win the Steeple ???? ??RJ

“Allison's specialty is sports massage, which is exactly what I was looking for! Allison is very knowledgeable & thorough.(Not where I would go for a general, relaxing massage nor for a spa experience. There are many others in the city that offer that.)“

“Had a couples massage done, Jill was absolutely amazing and made my boyfriend feel so comfortable and relaxed for his first massage! My masseuse was able to work out tension I’ve had in my shoulder for weeks, we both walked out feeling so refreshed. We will definitely be back, especially with being able to have a later appointment time, ours was at 5, we will for sure being making the trip again!“

“First time my neck didn’t hurt in the last 6 years. Very sweet and trauma informed!“

“I initially started going to Jake on a referral due to mobility issues after a shoulder surgery. I've now been seeing him regularly for nearly three years and can truly say that he's been life-changing. I train hard and am thankful to have Jake as part of my recovery and maintenance routine. Bonus- he has a fun, interesting personality and a great sense of humor.“

“Had a fantastic 90 minute deep tissue massage today and I feel like a new person!! I’ve been going to Lee for over 10 years now and won’t go anywhere else! She’s truly amazing!“

“Tessa is amazing at her job! I love getting massages from her. She always leaves me feeling refreshed and a little sore but in a good way haha!“

“Kim explains everything that she is doing and why, I find it really interesting. She does a great job, you can tell she has been doing it for many years!“

“I saw Ariel for the first time after I had been in a cast for 6 weeks. Physical therapy did not help and may have made it worse. Then I found Ariel! I would recommend ANYONE who has surgery to follow up with her. She has made my life so much better! Not only is she amazing at her job, I also consider her a great friend.“

“I have had shoulder problems for years and have spent thousands on PT and Dr visits with no relief. A couple sessions with Ryan I am able to move my arms again and have range of motion. Super knowledgeable and felt like he cared. His goal wasn't to schedule more sessions but to graduate to no needing sessions.“

“Studied here and graduated December 2022. Absolutely changed my life for the better and learned an immense amount of material. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and very-well rounded. I highly recommend anyone considering massage therapy to pursue their education here.“

“One of the best massages I've ever had! My only suggestions would be to have the room darker (was in the middle of the day, and the blinds don't quite do the trick) and offer online booking so it is easier to get in touch to schedule.“

“I had the best massage today with Mykenya J!! Very attentive and communicative admit problem areas. Can’t thank her enough!“
