Amy Nature Center

I called on a weekday afternoon for a 630pm massage and snagged a spot without much hassle.
The massage was good. While not like died-​and-​gone-​to-​heaven good, it was after-​work-​relaxing good. Masseuse was polite, and so was the front desk.
For a 1hr massage, it was $ 49 if paid in cash but ~$ 51 – 52 if paid by card. My only grip was that when I said to put $ 15 tip, they actually added the tip to the original $ 49 and then calculated taxes on both the massage and the tip. Anyway, I thought it was strange and instead paid $ 51 – 52 on my card and paid the tip in cash.
I will be back, but next time I’ll be all cash.

I initially went to this place under a colleague’s recommendation. Since then, I have been back a couple of times. Coming from an eastern family with friends specialize in traditional Chinese medicine and give good massages, this place is in the same category. I dance as a hobby, so when my body needs relaxation, this is the place I visit.

I have been visiting Amy’s Nature Center since around 2008. When I am not traveling, I visit every two weeks and always get a massage. When I am traveling, it is the first place that I go to relieve my jet lag.
The reason I keep returning is that the staff is so very attentive. They listen to all of my needs. I have even gone there after surgery to keep my muscles loose and they did an excellent job. The great news is that I have had many different therapists and they all are professional. I was married to an shiatzu and acupuncture DR and I can tell you that the therapists here at Amy’s were in the same class as the Dr’s that I had experiences with in the far east. As mentioned by other reviewers here, Amy’s is immaculate. When you have stress, visit Amy’s Nature Center and walk out feeling like a million bucks!

I love this place! I’ve been going for massages here regularly for about a year now. I’ve recommended several people to come here as well. It’s always clean, staff is courteous and I come out feeling rejuvenated. Plus, you can’t beat the price! And if you happen to need the restroom, they have a heated toilet seat!!! Come on, where else are you gonna find that!

Hands down, best bang for your buck.
Tips:
1. Call ahead if you want something after work, though you probably don’t need to if you come during the middle of the day or off peak-​hours.
2. It’s located next to the Japanese market and a bunch of other asian eateries… go on upstairs (don’t be scared by the not so luxurious surroundings)
3. Expect a no frills place — bamboo sliding doors (no real walls so you can hear everything else going on) but it was clean and quiet so no complaints
4. Get ready for the hardest (best, most relaxing) deep tissue massage ever — I have been to Burke Williams, and other comparable (and expensive) spas all over the west coast and pay a ton of extra money to have someone dig their elbows deep into my back and NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE (aside from my therapist in Hawaii) can work out the knots in my back EXCEPT the kind, older asian lady who LITERALLY got up on the table to get enough pressure in.
5. They accept credit cards, but be sure to tell the cashier that you want to add gratuity to it (there’s no line to add it once its printed) and for the love of god, tip big since this place only charges $ 50 for a 60 minute massage and the ladies really do work incredibly hard
6. If you need tension relief from sore muscles that only a deep tissue massage can bring, this is your place. Don’t waste money on sweedish massages that feel like someone rubbing your back for $ 200. But, if you can’t get over not having all the amenities of a full spa (sauna, jacuzzi, fresh towels, etc) then this is not the place.
Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area!

Excellent massage in a clean, quiet, and simple place. I came during my lunch break from work, in need of some rest and relaxation. The woman who did my massage had a great, caring touch, kept asking me if the pressure was ok. I’m quite sure I fell asleep at one point. I asked her not to put any oil in my hair and she was very careful not to. As far as these types of places go, this was definitely in the «better» category, in terms of the physical space (very quiet and calm; dim and relaxing) and the quality of massage. $ 50 for a one hour massage, no appointment needed. I will be back.

This day spa is very relaxing and has a very good atmosphere. This is a great place to relieve tension during a lunch break or after work. The staff is very friendly and the music and massage tables are very comfortable. I highly recommend this spa.

I have been going here every week for the last 9 years, and always have an amazing experience. I like strong massages and they have NEVER disappointed me and they are inexpensive and nice!

Ive been here dozens of times, my favorite in the city. Great massage and very nice staff. There is also a review listed under «Amy Nature Center», without the «Inc.»

I slipped in during work to relieve some stress in my neck and David ended up doing a fantastic job! I would definitely go back and try out other treatments as well (acupuncture/​facials/​wax/​etc.)
