Enhancing Massage and Bodyworks

I found EMB via Groupon and scheduled an appointment within 2 weeks which was convenient for me. I can honestly say Tameika takes pride in her work and has great expertise in deep tissue sports massages. I’ve been going for a few years now and it’s really helped me remove all the knots and strains from a poor posture and frequent exercise. Tameika makes sure her focus is always on delivering an exceptional massage whilst also providing a professional service to all her clients. I really appreciate her commitment and support.

EMB is the crown jewel massage establishment of Houston. I feel like a million dollars enduring i get on Tameika’s table… she is highly skilled… very knowledgeable of the body and extremely intelligent and professional
Just have faith and go

Tameika is awesome! My first session, and not the last, was great. My body requires a daily massage. My workouts can be extremely grueling and intense. Lifting weights, endurance work, performing gymnastic movements and a host of conditioning training can put a toll on my body. Getting massages help me with my performance in that it eliminates those nagging knots through trigger point, kneeding into my muscles that are sometimes extremely tight, and assisting with my stretching. Tameika’s services are on point. She is personable and professional. Need a massage? Check her out.

I started going to Tameika after being referred by a colleague. I work in high stress environment and was looking to plug in as a regular client. Tameika was the best find! She tailors your massage to what you need and I felt so much better all around after I started going regularly.
But here is the BEST part — I hadn’t been able to run in 6 years (after having been college athlete) due to something going on with my IT Band. After having seen multiple orthopedic doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists and investing serious time and money with no results, I’d long since given up.
I mentioned to Tameika I could run and given her a brief explanation. On my 3^rd visit, she told me that she didn’t think it was my IT band. And she basically narrowed it down to a muscle near my knee. She worked on it and within weeks, I could run! She figured out what no one had been able to for 6 years.
She’s that good.

I’ve had massages before from different people, not just around Houston all around the country, at upscale places and not so upscale places.
Tameka. Is. The. Best.
Go see her!

Wow! By far she is the best! Called her last minute and she came out to home and did a fantastic job! Thanks so much I’m feeling like a million bucks! !

I’ve been working out hard with a fitness trainer the last couple of months. My body is looking great but I’ve been so sore and tired I considered stopping my training for awhile. My trainer told me about Enhancing Massage and suggest I give them a try before I give up on my body. I called made an appointment for last Friday. I can’t tell you exactly what she did but I truly feel like a new person in a new body. All the tightness, soreness, my back and knee pain have vanished! I feel great and look forward to all my workouts now. I understand with exercises come tightness and soreness so I will be incorporating massages in my monthly fitness routine! I bought their monthly package deal and will be seeing Miss. Tameika at least twice a month! New body new me! I’m so excited now! Thank you very much EMB, you saved my fit life!

I agree with all the other 5 star reviews! I’ve gotten massages about 2x/​year for about 5 years. This is by far the massage I’ve ever had! And now she offers a loyal membership with one massage a month for $ 65/​month. It is such an awesome deal for the best massages I’ve ever had.

Such a good experience I only had one person in mind once I was injured in an car accident. Talked over my discomfort, gave me great stretching tips and mapped out a plan to get me back to 100 percent. Nice quiet and inviting area as well

I recently had another relaxing massage at EMB. The service is personalized and made to fit my specific needs. My money is well spent on the loyalty program.

Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I’m a low maintenance gal. I don’t rock the latest bag nor need retail therapy to make me happy. In the same regard, getting a massage every other year was seen as a splurge in my eyes – not really a necessity but a want. However, my recent visit to Enhancing Massage and Bodyworks shattered all my preconceived thoughts on massages.
Tameika Byrd, the owner and therapist of EMB, not only gave me the best massage of my life, she educated me on why the body needs a massage. Just like exercise, the body needs to be stretched by a professional. Underline the word professional because everybody that offers massages does NOT know what they’re doing! Tameika KNOWS what she’s doing and carries the confident as well as studies and continually educates herself in the field to give her clientele and their body the best treatment needed to «enhance» their bodies.
Although I used a Groupon to experience her services for the first time, I checked her reviews on Unilocal prior to purchasing it. I can attest to many of the comments that other Unilocalers have stated: Tamieka is «through, skilled, über talented, and Ahh – mazing!» You will leave EMT relaxed and feeling like a new person. Mind you, I have been feeling ill for the past few weeks. I thought about cancelling the appointment (which I was able to conveniently make online), but I was able to get well enough to still make my appointment. After my massage, I felt so rejuvenated. I hadn’t felt this good in months! This one visit really convinced me that I MUST give back to my body more – and that starts with monthly visits to Tameika.
You may not think you can afford nor have the time for a massage, but you only have one body. You have to treat it tender loving care. EMB is the place to give it the right TLC that your body needs. Its central location also make it not too far to travel to no matter what side of the Houston that you’re located at, and she has Saturday appointments, so no excuses. You won’t regret your decision to make this the place your oasis!

VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. She uses an online appointment program. In early August when I was looking to book an appt, her first available was on Sep 2. I had a Crowdsavings voucher that expired on Sep 1. I called and left a voicemail asking her to let me know if this would pose a problem. I never heard back from her. I arrived for my appt only to be told she would not honor the voucher! If she had called me back in a timely manner I could have recovered my fee from Crowdsavings since she had no appts available before my voucher expired. Her gross neglect resulted in a $ 45 loss for me.

Got a massage here with Tamika using a Groupon. It was a bit hard to find at first as there are no exterior signs, but once inside I found my way around a little easier. It’s in an office-​type building, upstairs, in a hospice office. This was a little off-​putting at first but after talking with Tamika I totally get it. She’s just a single lady trying to get her massage business off the ground and since she is flying solo for now, this is the safest way to do it.
Now, the massage itself? Ahh-​mazing. Girl is a massage goddess! Though she be small she is but fierce. I am def coming back and I have no problem paying full price next time. Get in on a great deal with the Groupon and become a regular!

I get massages regularly and have for years. She is by far one of the most thorough therapists I’ve ever had. Her innate grasp of anatomy and physiology coupled with the strength of her hands (she’s tiny with the strength of a sumo on ‘roids) is a rare find.
Although I live in Dallas, I make a point to schedule with her on my monthly trips to Houston.
Yes, she is the only therapist as it’s her business. A fast growing business no less. So for all the el cheapos from Groupon land, regular clients with standing appointments kinda limit the slots. SHE IS BUSY because… wait for it… SHE IS SKILLED. Better yet ÜBER TALENTED.
The deep tissue massages… the TRUTH! She finds knots you didn’t even know you had. 3 massages in Dallas to get the knots out of my shoulders without success. One session and my shoulders are back to normal. Athletes! She is ya girl!

I recently purchased a Groupon for EMB. Since, I have been unable to schedule a massage, and the earliest available massage is over 3 weeks from now (per on-​line scheduling and only between standard business hours). I have called numerous times without a return phone call.
I will not purchase another Groupon for this, and it is doubtful I will even be able to use this Groupon. I’m glad this business is doing well b/​c my business has certainly been lost before I can even set foot in the door.

If I could give EMB 10 stars I would. We found Tameka through a Groupon deal and she is amazing to say the least. I sustained a shoulder injury during a five car pileup in 2011. Tameka is the first massage therapist (in a long list of providers I have seen) that I felt actual changes and results with. She listens to my needs and concerns. I tried cupping with her and my pain relief was the best it has ever been. I’m not one to use pain medication even OTC like ibuprofen or Tylenol. My doctor prescribed me highly addictive muscle relaxers for my injury, that should give you an indication of how bad my injury is, after being treated by Enhancing Massage and Body works my mobility and range of motion has increased and while I do not take the prescriptions my need for it is lessened:). I cannot recommend her services more highly. You can tell she genuinely cares abut her clients overall health and well being! She had been a great resource of knowledge and has improved my health, this has greatly improved the quality of my life as I was physically limited prior to Enhancing Massage and Bodyworks, I would venture so far as to say Tamekas care has been more beneficial for me than physical therapy. Thank you EMB!

I found out about Enhancing Massage and Bodyworks through Groupon. I had no issues with scheduling an appointment (it’s super easy to use the link on the website:
) and the reminder emails that you get a few days before the appointment was helpful as well. Tameika (the therapist) was extremely friendly and professional. Unlike other places that like to forego the last 10 min of the session, Tameika made sure that I got my full hour! I am really excited about my next appointment, which is in a couple of days, and I look forward to becoming a regular customer.

I love going to Enhancing Massage and Body Works: my concerns are always discussed before my massage and Tameika takes good care to make sure that I don’t exit with the same concerns. I came to Enhancing Massage as a Groupon customer, but I’m now a monthly visitor. I really appreciate the time taken to make sure that all my aches are dealt with.

I found this place on Groupon and thought it would be good to tryout. I wanted to have either a deep tissue or a sports massage. It was a hidden spot in a random building. It took two months to finally get an appointment due to only have one masseur. After finally finding the place, I walk in and the masseur looked at me as if I don’t belong. She made me feel uncomfortable from the very beginning. I happened to be walking in with other people of the business. I couldn’t hear them, but the tone of the masseur and their chatter as I filled out paper work seemed uninviting. Her demeanor each time she approached me seemed discriminatory. So instead of getting a massage, I simply left.
The building was something to be proud of. I was going to ask more about the business, hoping there was any other way I could support. Even the art on the walls captured my attention. I was delighted to see a business like that. With that being said, I hope this place gets an attitude adjustment. My rating is actually lower than one star.

This place has only one massage therapist and has been selling groupons one after another… I made the mistake to buy two and cant ever get an appoitment… I just looked that they announced another groupon this week, what’s ridiculous since they can’t keep up with the ones sold by now.
I think that’s very unprofessional! I am complaining with Groupon!!!
