Aqua Terra Couples Massage

My husband and I have been coming to Aqua Terra for over five years now. I shopped around a long time for a good massage therapist, and am ...

This was my wife and I first massage and I got to say it was phenomenal! We have two small children and with the everyday constant stresses ...

I've had many professional massages, from five-star hotels to being in someones living room, and I wanted to introduce my unititiated boyfriend to this fabulous escape. So I did my research and decided to trust the reviews of Aqua Terra Massage. We had our hour-long couples massage in January 2009 and it was the best massage I've ever had and my boyfriend loved it. The space is comfortable and you can tell that everything is centered around you being relaxed and enjoying the experience. While I get massages to relax, I hope to come out of the experience feeling better both mentally and physically. I loved that Erik (Faye was doing my boyfriends massage and he shared similar stories) noticed points of tension and instead of just passing over them, really worked those spots - making the experience a bit more intense and much more rewarding. They focused on our conscious and unconscious wants and needs....that may sound silly, but I think a good masseuse will pay attention to how the bo... Read more

I've been to several different places for a massage (including a fancy lodge in Carmel Valley, CA) and I have to say that this was the best one I've had! My boyfriend and I went in together (it was his first massage and he loved it) but I'm definitely going back again by myself. You get to pick from several different scents of aromatherapy lotions and you can mix and match them. The massage is specifically tailored to what you need and they do everything from pressure points to a face massage--all in just an hour. My back/shoulders/neck were hurting when I went in and I walked out with zero pain. And, the price was definitely right! I would definitely recommend Erik and Faye to anyone.

We scheduled our appointment online which could not have been easier, and showed up a little before 8 for our massage. We ran into Erik in the hallway and he enthusiastically greeted us. We both loved the room, very relaxing and comfortable, loved the artwork and even the lucky bamboo. We picked our massage therapist and although we were all in the same small room we were given one on one time with our choice, and discussed what we would like to get out of the experience. It was very, very personalized. We even had our choice of scents for massage oil. My sweetie had a massage for relaxation and mine focused on old injuries from a car accident, combined with breathing techniques I have learned through Tai Chi and Yoga over the years. Again, SO personalized! It was quiet, comfortable, warm, it was everything you'd want it to be for an hour of your life. When it was over I didn't want to get up I was so content. We also talked with Faye and Erik after the massage about what we should do ... Read more

My boyfriend and I went there and it was a very relaxing experience for the both of us. I didn't think it would be as romantic as it was! Erik and Faye were really nice and talked to us before the massage to take time to understand what we both wanted from the massage. The hour actually went by slow and I didn't feel like they were rushing or leaving anything out. This was our first time getting getting professional massages but we'd love to go back.

My wife and I are snobs when it comes to our massages. These days there's just too many people out there that are somehow certified in massage therapy. Thankfully we found Aqua Terra. Fay and Eric are incredible at what they do and we feel very lucky to have found them. The studio is perfect. Very quiet and private setting. Great temperature. The beds are among the best I've ever been on and the blankets and linens they use feel luxurious! My massages have always left me feeling relaxed but worked. Which is exactly the way I want to feel after spending my cash and hour and a half of my time. I just realized that my wife and I have been going here for over a year and I have never written a review, so here it is. We highly recommend Fay and Eric! So much so that we once gave a gift certificate to Aqua Terra masage as a wedding present to some old friends. They told us it was one of the best gifts they received!

My husband and I went to this place for a couples massage on our anniversary this year. Very, very comfortable beds and soothing music. It's...

Faye and Eric are both exceptional massage therapists and I have been meaning to write a review for them forever now. So here it goes... Best tables, that padding makes for pure luxury! Great temperature, wonderful linens, diverse music, chocolate treats and water - how thoughtful and kind! Friendly and caring people with shining personalities. And I haven't even mentioned their massages!! Eric and Faye are both strong and able to get into the deepest crevices to release year old tensions. I had a leg and foot injury that Faye was able to help resolve with her persistance and strength. Eric has worked on me as well and has a very intuitive style and the ability to help me truely relax on the table by focusing on breath work while giving a fantastic massage. I have had over a hundred massages in my life and wouldn't go anywhere else! They are committed to excellence and they are really fine people. Definately give them a try - you will not regret it!

Chip and I received our first couples massage on V-Day and have been back every other week since! No matter the stresses of your day, the things on your mind, the pain in your neck, or the tension in your shoulders, you will be amazed at how Faye and Erik make all these things and more dissolve under their fingertips. Erik and Faye are both amazing therapists, pleasant people, and they radiate a very caring, nurturing, and comfortable essence. They also offer great knowledge and insight. After entering the blissfully peaceful massage room you are greeted by 2 smiling faces, a glass of water, and your therapist will then sit with you to discuss your personal needs and wants from the massage. The Krippners both offer extensive knowledge in different types of massage as well as offering the client a deeper insight to what is going on with their body. A skydiving accident left Chip with a horribly busted shoulder and he has not been able to find relief from the pain anywhere or by a... Read more

I've been to see both Faye and Erik many times and am constantly amazed by the continued great service, relaxed atmosphere and superb massages. I've NEVER had a bad massage from either of them. The couples massages have been incredible as well. We'll never go anywhere else.

My husband and I had a couples massage for Valentine's Day. Not only was my stress melted away but my body has felt remarkably better in the weeks since. Faye and Erik were both warm and professional in addition to being wonderful at what they do. I hope to visit again soon.

Great massage! I got one for my boyfriend and I on Valentine's day and it was well worth it. Faye and Erik listened to Mark and I and gave us each the individual massage we wanted while still being together. They were very personable and insured that we were both comfortable. My boyfriend liked it so much that he has booked us another appointment for our one year anniversary next month. Needless to say I can't wait!! :)

My husband and I booked a couples message. We really enjoyed the warm atmosphere, good music system, and heated message beds. For 180.00 for a couple one hour and a half it was well worth that. Faye and Erik are friendly and very much into their craft.

I've got many massages whole my life, still it's difficult to find really good massagist. So when I heard about this place I was excited. They seem nice and friendly, however, massage was not deep enough even I asked very deep one. Technic was not sharpened enough, I even felt I was getting massage from massage student. After the massage my neck and shoulder were still stiff, even they forcused those area without working other parts of my body:( And, my face was broke out after the massage(they did face massage too), maybe the oil they use? Overall, this is a OK place, but I will not recommend becouse I know other massagists who can do better job.

My partner and I were looking for a comfortable and relaxed environment for a couple's massage - and, that is exactly what we found at Aqua Terra. The massage therapists were friendly, welcoming, professional and relaxed. Prior to meeting with these professionals however, making the appointment online was easy and convenient. Upon our arrival at Aqua Terra for our PM appointment (a fabulous experience!), we were met by both massage therapists who talked with us about our needs and wants. They concentrated on our desires and checked in with us frequently. We were extremely satisfied with our massages and would return to Aqua Terra without hesitation.

My boyfriend and I were so impressed! We both agreed that the Krippner's are the most peaceful couple we have ever met. Their space is beautiful, and they make their own scents which are delightful. The price is extremely reasonable. I loved the way Faye listened to my back issues and tried new techniques that I've never had done before. My boyfriend was so relaxed he fell asleep! It was wonderful, and I highly recommend it. The online scheduling is SO convenient, and my emails were returned VERY promptly.

I just found the massage I was looking for with Faye Krippner! I just put in 40 miles in 2 days paddling on the Columbia river and had scheduled a massage for the day after and another day later I feel fresh and ready to roll again. The stretches helped to unlock the tight/crampy areas and your deep tissue work helped me whittle away at some of my longer-term issues. Way to keep me in the flow, Faye. Thanks!

Massage studio, located on the ninth floor of the Weatherly Building, offers massages with lighting and aromatherapy scent choices.

I love coming here! The therapists are awesome, and are excellent with each massage. The atmostphere is professional, and the tables are so comfortable! Best place I've been for a massage, and my husband loves it too!

I have received several massages from LMP's over the years, with varying results. I had a great experience at Aqua Terra. Scheduling an appointment was easy to do online, and the lot parking really helped. The price was reasonable and compares to most other therapist rates. I felt very comfortable in the cozy studio. The cleanliness, lighting, music, and scent of the studio was calming and reassuring. The massage I received was perfect. Being able to choose a hand crafted massage oil blend was a nice touch. The therapist really paid attention to my needs and respected my body. The communication was great. Everything was explained beforehand and my input was solicited during the massage. In addition to the relaxation my whole body got from the massage, my troubled knees felt great for a long time afterward! I recommend the full body one-hour massage to anyone looking for a relaxing or therapeutic massage. You'll love the attention and quality provided by these folks.

I'm 56 years old and this was the first massage I've had from a Licensed Massage Therapist. I was nervous because having your body worked on is a very personal thing, especially by someone for the first time. My therapist made me feel very comfortable and at ease and my privacy was respected. Everything was explained very well and I felt in total control. My therapist has more than a skill. I feel being that in tune to another's needs is a real gift. The embiance in the studio and the soothing background music really helped me relax. The studio was very clean and well organized. By the way, the view from the studio window is awesome! My therapist knew just how much pressure to apply and my feedback was solicited during the session to make sure it was exactly what I wanted and needed. I even got to select a massage oil from several blends specially created by the therapists. The wonderful scents still linger in my mind. Although this was my first experience at Aqua Terra, it defina... Read more

Both Erik and Faye are wonderful massage therapists. They are concerned about their clients' well-being, committed to fixing specific ailments, and they provide a very relaxing environment. I can recommend them for muscle therapy, stress-relief, and pregnancy massage. They are incredibly knowledgeable and whenever I've had a big ache, it's always been fixed with attention and care. Kind, sensitive people who are exceptional in their field ... HIGHLY recommended!

Erik is one of the best therapists I've ever encountered. He mixes deep tissue work with fantastic relaxation techniques, so after my massage I feel completely relaxed and dazed, and all of the pains I came in with are GONE! He has given me the best neck and hip massages ever. And really tunes into me. I think the biggest thing about working Erik is that I can tell he is totally focused on the massage. He describes what his doing and what is going on with my body. It's fascinating to learn about my body in a structural sense. Erik has given me some great tools to help me fix my neck. I completely trust Erik and appreciate the fact that he has taken his education so seriously. I can recommend Erik to any woman who might be nervous about being massaged by a man. He is so gentle and respectful, and he is very modest with his draping. The business is very above-board and professional in an office building. If you're looking for an excellent massage every time, see Erik!

For anyone needing a fix to their aches and pains...this is a MUST! Faye and Erik are great therapists who take their time evaluating your muscular problems with you. They coach you along to help improve your body on the massage table and off the massage table. I have been receiving massage therapy by Faye for several years now. She has eased my pains from daily computer use and relieved my muscles from the aches of my sport (rowing). Very prompt and professional service...and always with a smile and healing hands!

I have really, really enjoyed my massages from Faye and Erik (I've seen them both for relaxation and therapy). They are knowledgeable and highly trained - and can also do couples' massages (massaging two people on two beds at the same time) in their space. I've done it this way a couple of times with my wife and their space is well-suited to it, being relaxing and quiet, with low lighting suited to massage.

The Aqua Terra studio is a calming place to get a wonderful massage. Their couples massage is very fun to share with a friend, and it is just as welcoming to be there for an individual appointment. I have been receiving massage from Faye for five years and she is fantastic at treating my low back pain. I also love to make appointments for theraputic relaxation, to pamper myself, or to celebrate an accomplishment. Choosing from their custom blended aromatherapy oils makes each visit a unique experience.

My mother and I have come to Aqua Terra three times now, and we love this little getaway. Since she is elderly, she needs gentle, professional massage from someone who knows about the body. Both of the therapists are wonderful that way. I have had a lot of trouble with my neck and shoulders, and I get great treatment there too. It is a beautiful place to get massage, with a great view, and I like choosing a different essential oil blend. The therapists are very comforting and work well together. This is an awesome place to come to for real, therapeutic massage.

I've known Erik and Faye for over 3 years and have been seeing them for individual and couple massages during that time. My husband and I get at least one couple massage from them every year and I often see them for massages related to back and neck pain. They are always very welcoming, the studio is very clean, they have a nice selection of massage oil scents to choose from and they both have an extensive knowledge of body mechanics. They often consult with me as to how I can improve my healthy outside of the massage room through different exercises, stretches, etc. They offer flexible appointment times as well. It is a "whole person" experience to receive a massage from Aqua Terra and I keep going back!

The massage I received was probably the best ever, or maybe one of the two best I've ever had. The physical benefits were outstanding and the atmosphere was serene and tranquil. The theapist was very profession and friendly, and the massage was just what I needed.

Faye and Erik are amazing!! My fiance and I have been seeing them for two years now and we recommend them to everyone! They create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere and their special touches make you feel really special (bottles of water, lighting preference, choice of massage scent, heavenly tables, pre-massage discussions). They care about your wellness and give great tips for avoiding future pains and taking care of current ones. Overall, it has been the most wonderful massage experience either of us have had and we'll keep going back!

My wife and I went to Aqua Terra Massage for our anniversary. We both enjoyed the experience. I am a runner, and need sports massage to help me in my training. Erik is one of the best therapists I've worked with, and combines stretching with his deep work to unlock my hamstrings. I felt so much better after the massage! I highly recommend his work. My wife has had pain in her right shoulder for a while now. She loved her deep-tissue shoulder massage with Faye, and her shoulder pain was almost gone after her massage. We will definitely be back

Great massage - very good deep tissue (which I have had a hard time finding.) I especially liked Fayes talk about the problems she was finding and how I could hold my shoulders differently to avoid the shoulder pain. I sit at a comuter all day and her advice really helps. I strongly recommend this place. Great massage, nice people, and very knowledgeable and willing to educate. David

I love this place! Aqua Terra is close to downtown with good parking. Their space is professional, but warm and friendly. You're immediately put at ease with this shop's atmosphere and Faye's & Erik's warm personalities. Their massage tables make you feel like you're settling into a cloud. Talk about feeling pampered! Erik & Faye really know their profession. They diagnose and treat aches quickly and give advice to avoid future trauma. You leave feeling like a new person and armed with valuable knowledge. I'm excited to try their couple's massage! This shop is run with integrity, messages are answered promptly and they're punctual. As a busy professional, this is important to me. In my hectic life, both at work and home, an AQUA TERRA MASSAGE has become a must-have service for me.

My boyfriend and I had a massage together before we went to Clark Lewis restaurant. Faye and Erik are great massage therapists, and we really liked their studio. It's really cozy, but very elegant and clean. We both like deep tissue massage, and they were both great. We'll definitely be back!

I went to Aqua Terra because I have pain in my back and hips. I walked in the massage studio and immediately felt very comfortable. Erik gave me a deep tissue massage for 2 hours. I fell asleep within the first 10 minutes I was so relaxed. By the time he finished I was so relaxed I couldnt even stand. The entire experience was so amazing and comforting that I have recommended Faye and Erik to all of my friends and relatives. A few weeks after my massage I went to my chiropractor and she said that my hips have never looked in better shape. Erik really helped me and I swear by him now. Naomi Erickson

I have traveled widely and have been a massage therapy enthusiast for at least 20 years. Aqua Terra Massage was recommended to me by family, knowing I had gone to Canyon Ranch (Tuscon) for 10 years, and numerous other massage therapy practices, especially in recent years. I scheduled an appoint ment and was DEFINITELY, not disappointed! Since one of their specialties is couples massage therapy and I am a single, I decided not tto let that deprive me of the experiece. I opted for a 4-handed massage! It was trully the most amazing massage experience ever. I could not even tell there were 2 therapist working on my shoulders and upper back!! I highly recommend the experience to all.

Best massage I've ever had! Eric and Faye really know a lot about the body, my back doesn't hurt anymore! They gave me a really good feel of exactly what was happening, it really helped. Great deep tissue work, Relaxing atmosphere, good people, just an overall good experience.
