Morningstar Healing Center

Ah yes, this place certainly lived up to my expectations after a friend recommended this place. It’s a small establishment but don’t let that fool you, they know what they are doing here!
I got the Morningstar deep cleansing facial and deep tissue massage (about 3 hours).
The room has a serene and tranquil atmosphere. You are given some tea, discuss any specifics/​concerns, and choose what scents and music you’d like during your treatments. The staff member Julia is a sweet Asian esthetician who knows her stuff!
FACIAL: Got a facial here that was very relaxing and left my face looking like porcelain. I come here twice so far. The first time was for the deep pore cleansing facial (although she modified it because she said my skin is not very acne prone), she gave me less extractions, but still used the full 90mins. Everything felt comfortable and very similar to my experience at my favorite spa in Virginia! I left with my skin glowing, not feeling tight, and no visible blackheads. Julia was soft spoken, explained what she was going to put on your face prior to doing it, and didn’t talk very much throughout the facial (which I love adds to the relaxation ambiance). Second facial I went to get was after I got sunburned in Miami (didn’t use sunblock, and my skin was peeling smh). I explained to her what happened, and she decided she would give me the signature facial with a moisturizing mask. She then told me my peeling skin can easily be removed and will be painless. sure enough I left glowing again! No complications after both facials, and my skin breaks out easy so I recommend this place to anyone with sensitive skin.
MASSAGE: The masseur has a true gift finding every knot in the back that I didn’t even know was there. She has a genuinely pleasant energy about her that made me feel at ease. She really took the time to understand my problem areas prior to my massage. She asked me to alert her at any time if I wanted more or less pressure or with any other request. I appreciated not feeling rushed. She made me feel very comfortable and cared for. The actual massage was wonderful. The room had a light purple hue and smelled great. The massage table was plush and warm. She focused on the areas we discussed and a lot of my back pain was relieved. The foot massage was especially nice.
I really enjoyed the nap after the massage. Usually, after receiving a treatment at other spas, I’m rushed out of the room rather quickly – which leaves me feeling disoriented. Here, you’re able to further relax. I felt so at peace and was able to sleep a bit.
