The Massage Spa of Winter Park

First time here and I loved it. Great ambiance and friendly people ! Totally coming back

I found this little bit of heaven through Unilocal a couple of weeks ago. I booked a Spa Sampler (body scrub, 30min massage, 30min facial. $ 110.) IT WAS FANTASTIC.
The ambiance is quaint and classy. Care has been taken to make a vintage house feel hip with its lovely décor. Flowing scarves from the ceiling, dimly lit waiting areas, a complimentary beverage all make the first impression an impacting one.
The rooms were all clean and peaceful. The care for each service was discreet and professional.
Dolly did my facial, and she was superb. I didn’t catch the man who did my massage, but he was very knowledgable and helped my sciatica a lot. The young girl who did my body scrub (ugh! AGAIN, I didn’t catch her name. Though she told me.) was gentle. It all felt great.
It was nice to see other clients coming and going, including men. It meant that it wasn’t a «fluke» that I was there on a good day. They obviously impress a lot of people with their treatments and care.
My first experience was so great, in fact, that I went back today and purchased a year’s membership as I intend to use their services often, and the savings is HUGE when you are a member.
Today I had a «Whole Nine Yards» facial, and the extraction had very minimal pinching. It felt GREAT. (Paulo handled both of my services today.) I also had the detox wrap. I’d describe how I know it was affective, but I’m private about my bodily functions. Trust me when I tell you, it’s a detox. :)
You definitely want to give this place a try.

I stopped in for a massage based on Unilocal reviews. I enjoyed my massage by Kim, but it was not the best massage I have ever received. Prices are reasonable for the area, and they have lots of good specials.
I suffer from neck and back spasms. Kim did not ask me any questions regarding areas needing extra attention or areas that she should avoid. I had to tell her that myself. She also did not ask what type of pressure I would like.
I purchased a 90 min deep tissue massage, but that was not communicated to my therapist. She stopped at 60 minutes. When I asked if it’d been 90 or 60 minutes, she had to run downstairs and check what I had actually purchased, interrupting the massage. Kim did a good job, but there were times where I felt like she was massaging bone, as opposed to muscle.
The interior of the facility is pretty dark, and could benefit from some additional soft lighting. Another reviewer is correct — the massage tables do need upgrading — mine squeaked as the masseuse pushed my body around on it. The staff was really warm and nice. They have membership packages. I think I will go back, but I would try another specialist.

Well we were visiting from out of town and I was looking for a groupon massage and stumbled upon this place. I called instead of buying the groupon out right and they honored the same price. Stacy did my deep tissue massage and did a great job. The outside of the place was a little sketchy at first. We were a little worried since the grass wasn’t cut and the place is kinda in the middle of a neighborhood. But overall good experience. It was very dark in the rooms and the therapist didn’t talk through the massage like others I have done which was nice.

The ladies are absolutely amazing! Very sweet, considerate and helpful. Some are more experienced than others so be sure to communicate what your needs are and what you like in a massage. They do need new massage tables which is why I marked them down once her. But I would be back if I lived closer in town.

Arturo Diaz is the best massage therapist I have experienced. His knowledge as an acupuncture physician and of Chinese medicine make him uniquely qualified. Additionally, he is simply a talented natural healer. Not only will he relieve aches, pains and stress his natural aura and energy will make you feel comfortable and tranquil. This is far more than relaxation it is healing and you’ll be the better for it.

Massage was pretty bad. Nice girl and she was tipped, but did not want to hurt her feelings. They have inexperienced people working there that are trying to make a quick buck. The room I was in was a «couples» massage room and the lay out was pretty bad. No walking space. I had to cancel my 2^nd appt I made (because the 1^st time was terrible) and you will be charged a $ 25 cancellation fee. They will not accommodate you on the cancellation fee even if you had a really bad experience there the 1^st time. Definitely will not return.

Bought a groupon for the couples massage. It was a great experience overall. Wine while we waited, friendly staff and great massages. Its located in a converted house, which is a little smaller than I am used to, but they have a nice setup.

Best massage. Carl was the best and adaptable to what I needed. Only negative was the sneaky massage beds.

Came here yesterday for my 60 min massage plus reflexology and glass of wine from Groupon. It was such a wonderful experience! The host, Steely Blue Eyes (sorry, didn’t catch his name) was very pleasant and offered me the glass of wine while I waited. Kim, the masseuse, was awesome! Come to find out she has extensive experience and has worked for chiropractors and cosmetic offices before. Next thing I knew, I fell into a deep nap and the hour was up already :(
I was in such a relaxed trance after… I’ll definitely be back!

I found out about this place through groupon and was very impressed and satisfied with the massage I got here. The atmosphere and décor of this place is great too. I like that they offered you wine while you wait, at least as part of the groupon deal. The place was very clean and the staff were super friendly. All in all I had a great experience and have already recommended my coworker to check this place out.

I discovered this little gem through a Living Social deal, and I am so pleased that I did! My facial this morning was so relaxing and the spa offers so much more. I am very excited about their emphasis on wholistic medicine and treating the whole body. I will definitely be back again soon!

OMG I have been here multiple times because they are soooooooo good!
I’ve come by myself, and I’ve done a couple massage twice with a friend and he loved it just as much as I do!
I love everything about this place, the coziness, the friendliness, the nonstop drinks the ambiance, and most of all ARTURO!!!
This man has hands of expertise! … I love the others too, but Arturo is my favorite!
You know a massage is good when you just want to stay there on the table and SLEEP! There has been times I left and sat in my car and rested some more because I was in such a relaxed state of mind, I did not want to drive in to traffic immediately and ruin my mental peaceful paradise. I just put my car seat down closed my eyes and chilled in silence before I drove away.
They are THAT good! I found them thru Groupon and I will always come back! (coupon or not!)

Came here for a couples massage and it was excellent. We both enjoyed our massages and complimentary drinks. The staff was very friendly and they accommodated us in every way possible. My only complaint was the head rest and massage tables were not very comfortable. I will definitely return, as I’ve already purchased another couples massage.

Had a reservation for a 1-​hr Couples Massage at 12:30pm. Arrived 30 minutes early and they served us water and/​or hot tea. That was nice. Our therapists were great… we were enjoying so much that the hour massage felt like 15 minutes it passed by too quick.
My only *COMPLAINT* is to heat up the rooms. With the most recent Arctic weather, the room was freezing during the full hour massage. My therapist put an extra blanket on me but I kept my high socks on and I was still freezing. It’s hard to relax when you’re cold. It was actually warmer outside than it was in the room where we got a massage.
The therapists did apologize how cold it was at the very beginning of the session. They said the house was quite old but they did have the heater blasting. We didn’t feel the heat. Easy fix… bring in some room heaters to make your customers comfortable.

This place is my new secret for relaxation, health and serenity. I found out about it through an online coupon and after checking out the Unilocal reviews, made my first appointment. I have been back once a week ever since, and I can officially say I am HOOKED! Here are just some of the things I love about this place:
AMBIANCE:
The spa is in an old Victorian style house, nicely decorated with plush sofas, draped fabrics, and Asian-​inspired furnishings. They always have soft music playing and greet guests by offering champagne, wine, juice or water. The ladies at the front desk are very friendly and efficient, making the entire experience go smoothly.
MASSAGE:
I get massages about twice a month and have tried several places here in Orlando. I can honestly say that the massages here are the best I have ever experienced. My first visit I had a massage with Sheila. She is VERY strong, and did an excellent job at the detail work on my head and shoulders, working out all of the knots. She knew a lot of advanced techniques and attacked my sore, tight trapezius and neck muscles from every angle, til they were soft like butter!
ACUPUNCTURE AND TUI-​NA: On my second visit, I had my first-​ever acupuncture with Arturo. After a detailed consultation, he placed needles where needed and it was pleasant– I did not feel any pain. I have had acupuncture here three times now, and each time I feel like I am floating on a cloud for the rest of the day. A couple of times I have had tui-​na Chinese massage with fire cupping. This is an unusual and very effective technique that uses small scooping motions to really relax the muscles. The fire cupping feels just like a suction, with no heat or pain, and it is super-​effective at untying major knots in the back and shoulders. It does leave some bruise-​like marks which fade after just a couple of days. But it made me feel incredibly focused and relaxed, ready to take on the world!
These are the only services I have tried here so far, but I look forward to experiencing many more. The Studio Spa feels like a home away from home, with welcoming people, seriously great service, and super-​low prices compared to other Orlando spas. Try it, you will love it too!

If i could officially give it a ranking i would give it a 4.9 only because i usually like when my masseuses use the scents before they give the massage to open up the nasal passages. That’s just me though.
I just went today with my wife and couple we are on vacation in Orlando with. Everybody here LOVED our massages. Great value on groupon, they serve you a mimosa before the massage, and they really knew what they were doing. None of us were massage rookies and all of us got great massages by different people.
I personally had Sara who gave me one of the best deep tissue massages i ever receiver. Next time we come this way on vacation we are absolutely starting our vacation the same way. The whole staff was great!

What a lovely hidden gem in Winter Park, Florida… I took my boyfriend for a couples massage, and I can tell you that Arturo is a phenomenal massage therapist… Super Awesome Place. Also Fabian the manager of the spa is so personable and awesome. It was so nice, quaint, and would definitely go back.

Zen is not just in the décor and ambiance here. You feel it walking in, and you definitely feel it, floating out.
I was fortunate enough to have a session with, Owner /​Acupuncturist /​Therapist, Arturo and it was out of this world! I consider myself a massage connoisseur, but to call the therapy that Arturo offers merely a massage would be fugitive!
I’ve never heard of Tui Na, but am so freakin happy that I was introduced to this style of physical therapy. Arturo kneads, rubs, rolls, presses, stretches and ultimately releases all tension and stress from your physical being in the most seamless and controlled manner. His hands literally dance across the body with a rhythmic flow and perfectly varying pressure. He also did fire cupping on my back. It felt like warm suction cups gliding strategically up and down my back, pulling out all of the tension and toxins in my tight muscles. As forewarned, the fire cups left light «hicky streak-​marks» that disappeared in a day. No biggie at all compared to the amount of relief that I’d benefited from it.
Arturo is a true healer and has an amazing staff that exudes genuine positive energy from the moment you step through the door. Everyone is so kind and friendly. Fabian, the spa manager, even printed out a neighborhood map and suggested some hot spots to checkout (since we were visiting from Cali). They’re all just really nice people! Combine that with talented and passionate therapists and you have Studio Spa Garden of Healing.
This place is a true gem and if I lived in Orlando I would go weekly. Next time I go, I will plan my trip around Arturo’s schedule. That’s how good he is.
BTW, even though I’d pay top dollar for these treatments, the prices here are very reasonable and they offer shockingly generous deals and promotions. Too good, but true!

I get massages on a pretty regular basis, but this is one of the best I’ve had in a long time. You also can’t beat the deals they have. I booked last minute and got a same day appointment. They honored the discount price I saw, and were able to change my separate appointments to be back to back.
The express facial was great, and it was nice to relax with some sangria. The staff was very sincere and professional. I’m looking forward to my next appointment and getting more info on accupucture, which they also do.
