I love Essentials so much especially Mindy. She is so amazingly patient and attentive to what you need from a massage. I had a headache for 4 days and she got rid of it in 2 hours. They are always welcoming and kind and have become my favorite place to go.

Jacqueline does incredible deep tissue massages and focuses so well on problem areas. Highly recommend!!

I had Jacquline/Jackie today for my first massage at this location and I truly feel transformed. My whole body was extremely tense and the moment I left that room I felt like a whole new person. I’m an avid user of the south location and this was my first time here, she will definitely be my go to therapist at this one! I loved her

Piriformis, quadratus lumborum, hamstrings. Best deep tissue in a long time. Jaqueline rocks!! Good prices. I highly recommend.

Jacqueline is god sent with a touch akin to Midas! If you’re looking for all your stresses to melt away within a hour book with her!

Absolute five-star experience from start to finish at this spa. I called on Monday and they had multiple appointments available same day and the next day. I had Jackie for my Relaxation Massage and she did an excellent job!

I I have been going to this Spa for more than 8 years, I love going there because it breathes peace, the staff is very professional and the customer service is excellent, my favorite masseuse is Louise, for her professionalism and excellence in her work, her massages are # 1 A👍🏼💝

I had Jackie for my first massage. She was  kind and amazing. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage and the pressure was perfect. The place is welcoming and inviting. The staff are very helpful. I will definitely be returning for my next massage!

Deb M was excellent for my facial
I feel and look 20 yrs younger!!
A must to make you feel amazing!

Essentials Spa Sarasota was fantastic! They were so accommodating and fit me in the schedule same-day! My massage with Luisa was fabulous, she was so great about listening to what I needed and addressing my pain points. I would recommend this spa to anyone and I will definitely be back myself!

Had a facial appointment with Elle and it was great! Very professional and kind. Would recommend for anyone looking in the Sarasota area.

I love this spot. The owner is super nice and has a school he trains his staff in, multiple spas and a great business. The prices are excellent and there are lots of employees you can choose from and have open times. I’ve never had one complaint and I go multiple times a month for facials and massages. You can book online which is super convenient!

I usually hate going to spas. My friend made me go with her. I ended up having a really good experience! Elle was my esthetician and she was really nice and my skin was so soft and glowy afterwards☀️

The best deep tissue massage ever!!! Ariel is absolutely the best massage therapist!!

Ariel is amazing.  Felt like a new person after a 90 minute treatment. Hit all the tight muscles.  Asked if I wanted head & scalp included.  Worked like an artist unknotting knots   Highly recommend

I recently had the pleasure of visiting essentials Spa, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance is tranquil and providing an instant sense of relaxation as soon as you walk in.

Kathy at the front was exceptionally welcoming and professional, guiding me through the treatment menu and helping me choose the perfect services for my needs. The massage therapist (Mirka)was skilled and attentive, ensuring that I felt comfortable throughout the session.

Overall, the services were top-notch, the staff friendly, and the facilities immaculate. If you’re looking for a place to recharge and pamper yourself, I highly recommend.

It was the best massage I’ve ever had . I had pain on my back but Tori did a great job and she was really nice . Definitely gonna come back again !

I had my first appointment with Chantelle today and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She was incredibly thorough, attentive to my needs, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already looking forward to my next session. Highly recommend Chantelle if you’re looking for a skilled and professional massage therapist!

Areil is amazing. Magical hands and throughly enjoyed it!

I went in for deep tissue massage and didn’t have the results I was looking for. I talked to management about it and the she went above and beyond to make sure I had a better experience next time.

My next deep tissue was exactly what I needed. I felt so refreshed and felt like so much stress was taken out of back.

Sometimes you just gotta find the right therapist for you and I’m just happy I could talk to the staff and they all worked together to make sure I was heard and taken care of. As a person who really believes in customer service, they were A+ in communication and making sure I was happy.

Deff coming back again!

I had a 60 minute massage by Calvin.   I feel very relaxed and will be back again.

I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Mindy. She is an excellent therapist. Probable one of the best massages ever. I feel like a million bucks no pain. Thank you so much Mindy and Kathy :)

will return
enjoyed my Hair color results
Thank you Ms Leslie 💋

I’ve been coming here for the past few years now because they are affordable and everyone is super friendly. Today I had Louise as my massage therapist, My first time having her and Let me tell you! She is heaven sent! Her hands are like magic. I explained to her what my problems areas were and she immediately went to those areas and worked it out. She has no idea but today she healed a little part of me. She has a new client now.

Mindy was fabulous today for my Therapeutic Combo Massage. Great location. Friendly staff.

Great Massage by Tory! She’s amazing and so sweet!

We had our first couples massage here and it was wonderful! Shoutout to Theresa and Victoria for creating a relaxing experience for us.

I had the most lovely ladies, massage was great and the facial was so relaxing!!! Great price too!

I am so glad to have met Chantelle and feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have had her recommended to me by a friend of mine that has had the same issues with the same results from Chantelle! I have had many massages for my migraines, as I have suffered from them for years but never a one with the precision techniques that Chantelle has used and I honestly think she’s a straight-up Godsend! The relief that I have felt not only helps me tremendously the day I receive the massage but her treatments have helped stave the migraines off for longer periods of time. She explained the need to come in for maintenance treatments even when I don’t  have a headache at all so as to not become so tightly wound up that it gets to the “blinding and sick to my stomach “point of the pain. I listened and I have been doing that too and I swear, my life has changed so much more for the better and she thanks me for listening and jokes that it makes her job much easier! Great Gal, True blue healer! I cant say enough good things about Chantelle! Thank you so very much!!!! Not enough stars in the universe!

Brought my son for his acne treatment.  Debra is amazing Specialist, very knowledgeable. The improvement on my son's face is noticeable.

My mom, Irina, goes often to Debbie and she never fails to do a great job! Great person and gives great facials, my mom is always eager to see her!

I haven't had a facial done in such a long time and it's so hard to find somewhere good and reasonable. I read other reviews about Essentials and decided to give it another try. Elle was absolutely amazing! It was such a calming and relaxing hour. She asked skin questions up front and catered directly to my skin type. I did the basic one hour European facial and it was a perfect refresh for me. I left glowing and feeling relaxed and fresh and ready for the weekend!

I had a really nice facial and massage with Louise.  She made me feel like a princess.  Thank you Louise

I loved the massage and facial. However, I prefer facials without gloves.

Went here for couples massage and facials.  It was absolutely amazing! The people there were so friendly and everything felt amazing. We had such a nice time. We feel so refreshed, and our skin feels great! Thank you!

Louise Is the best massage therapist! 10 Stars ⭐️

This place is great! Wonderfully kind staff. Elle was my esthetician and she did amazing!!! Cant wait to come back and get more services from her!

Very pleasant and welcoming staff, nice and quite location, I had excellent experience with Ellie for the massage work,
I will come back again when I am in Sarasota, I will also recommend to my friends.
Thanks Guys.

I recently had a hydrofacial with Elle and was left with clean glowing skin. The facial was so relaxing and left me feeling refreshed and clean.

It was a great experience my lmt was super nice he knows what he doing we are from chicago visiting family in Sarasota great place to relax will definitely come back again

First time here while visiting the area. I had the best massage I’ve EVER had, neck pain, back pain, arm pain, things I suffer daily is drastically reduced! I feel great and more important relaxed, not to mention met an absolutely amazing individual. If you want an amazing professional experience with some one who is a master at his craft, then I can not recommend BRUCE enough! I live two hours away and I am already contemplating visiting again soon. 10 out of 10 experience!

Kim is great at listening to the individual needs of the client and gives great pressure on the deep tissue massages with the right amount of stretching to help target the problem areas. On top of her therapeutic skills she is a great person to talk with during the session. If you are looking for a great massage Kim is the best!

Absolutely wonderful experience! I haven’t felt so cared for and listened to in as long as I can remember! Would recommend to EVERYONE!

Mindy was great! Some therapists stay in one spot, but she got to everything! She used cranial hold, which was relaxing. She didn’t neglect my feet and used hot towels to loosen up my neck. She also used techniques to improve blood flow.

Ariel is a top notch professional. My wife and I used to get couples massages until we realized we can’t have Ariel at the same time. Now we go individually so we can both request Ariel.

The massages and the value are excellent. It’s a convenient location and the staff are all very professional.

The front desk team is so wonderful! Sam was extremely polite and super helpful when making my appointment and answering all of my questions. Kathy, the manager, is a total gem as well! She made my experience at Essentials so enjoyable. She was friendly, kind and very accommodating. I’m looking forward to going back and seeing Mindy :)

Kim and Mason were so good. We did couples massage the second time here. They work on your whole body, adjust the pressure to your liking. Very pleasant staff and massage is top notch. Definitely will be back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Briana was so amazing and gentle, best massage ever!!

Louise is fantastic!!!  I have a pinched nerve in my neck and she knew just what to do. Hit the knots between my shoulders with precision. Thank you Louise!!!

Just had another fabulous massage with Mindy and a glorious facial with Elle!        Also a big thank you to Kathy the receptionist for finally adding the front operations the perfect  customer service touches!

Steven gave me massage, it was wonderful, I will come back for sure...

Steven did an excellent job with my 90 min full body massage. Professional and friendly!

What an outstanding job! I came in to get some kinks out, and it was the perfect pressure as well as very soothing and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Steven was super great and the massage was freaking amazing. This is probably one of the best messages I’ve had. I took one star off because it smelled a bit musky in the spa. Nothing too crazy. I would highly recommend you come here!

This place is worth it! Nothing fancy but clean and the massage therapists are all great. I recently has a massage with Steven it was by far THE BEST massage I have ever had. Perfect pressure and totally relaxed me. Will be back for sure.

Awesome massage with Louise - even better than I had hoped for! Everyone I encountered was so kind and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end, I'll definitely be back! Being able to get such a quality massage at an affordable price makes such a difference <3

Rob is as amazing…he knew exactly how to eliminate the issue I came in to get relief from!🙏

Wasn't the best massage I've ever had, she really didn't work on my neck muscles at all, which I had asked for, but did great on my feet and shoulder blades. Also were hit with a higher charge than originally told bc the prices went up starting May 1st, but we weren't informed that until we were ready to pay.

I had a massage with Rachel S. She was so peaceful and listened to my needs. She checked in with me during the massage to make sure the pressure was okay and if I needed anything else worked on . I’ve had a lot of massages and this beat all of them. Thank you Rachel S.

I had a wonderful facial here. The staff is friendly and the SPA is very relaxing.

The BEST!
The very BEST massage I've ever had!
In over 25 years of getting massages, today's massage was perfectly focused on exactly what my problem areas are with the perfect pressure. BRUCE was amazing!

I totally forgot about this place from years ago! So glad I went back.  Quality professionals and my therapeutic massages have been tremendous. Bruce is the best for working on my sports injuries and chronic neck pain. Thanks Bruce. This is my place!

Definitely the best massage spa in town with very experienced staff who knows their craft!

I had a really good massage here with Chantelle. She was very skilled and used just the right amount of pressure. The price was great for the 90 minute massage (75 mins of massage time). Even though the spa doesn't look like much from the outside, the room was very serene and calming, with a heated bed and white noise and spa music. I would definitely book another massage with Chantelle!

Kim is absolutely amazing best in the field love this place

Love the therapists. They listen and are very experienced. I have very good sessions. Would highly recommend.

My massage today was excellent! I can't remember his name but he just moved here from Michigan. I highly recommend him and will see him again!!!

Mindy was wonderful! Definitely be seeing me again soon!
