Zilaza Therapeutic Massage & Wellness

Aleida is amazing. The setup is very clean, cozy, relaxing, and professional. She consulted me when i got there to make sure i had the correct services for my needs. I asked her to focus on my shoulder because it had been painful for several months. She worked diligently on the shoulder and my back and I walked out already feeling much better. She had lots of extra additions that made for a great experience, like hot stones, a heated weighted cover, scented sheets, and a very cozy cover on the massage table. She's very skilled and I can't wait to book again.

Today's 90 minute pregnancy massage made me really sad. I had high hopes, given the reviews and my own aches and pains from traveling across the country, a family wedding, wrangling a toddler, and you know... pregnancy. Sadly, from the moment I showed up, Aleida was cold and unwelcoming. She seemed angry, and she might have been - I arrived at 10:18am for a 10:15am appointment. Also, evidently information was supposed to pop up when I booked telling me to park in the driveway - the info didn't pop up, so I initially parked on the street and she had to call me to move my car. I don't think either of these things are enough to make someone angry at a client, but she was either angry at me, or at something else and taking it out on me. She didn't say hello or introduce herself - I had to ask her name. She didn't speak or get to know me or the issues bringing me to massage other than to ask once if I had any areas of focus - I replied my neck and upper back. I apologized for being late, and made one or two other neutral comments as we started - she didn't acknowledge that I spoke. About 5 minutes into the massage, I requested that she also focus on my upper chest/collarbone/front shoulder areas - she replied saying to let her focus on what she was doing and that would happen when I was face up. Once I was face up and she'd been staying on my neck for a while, I asked again about my upper chest; she responded saying I had a lot of knots and that she had to be careful due to my pregnancy. I asked if she could clarify, if that meant she couldn't massage around my collarbone/front shoulders, and she snapped at me that she HAD been massaging my upper chest area; she hadn't yet touched the front of my upper torso at all. Her defensiveness was startling. She then spent the last 2-3 minutes on my upper chest/collarbone before finishing up. She didn't touch my front shoulders at all. Her technique was okay - if she'd focused more on the areas I'd asked for in particular, I would have given 3 or 4 stars for the massage alone. But not focusing on an area I requested, snapping at me defensively, and being cold and unkind for the entirety of the massage brings this down to 2 stars for me. Pregnancy is already such a vulnerable state, in so many ways - being lashed out at on top of this vulnerability was incredibly disheartening.

Aleida is excellent! After being stood up by another therapist, i was lucky to find Aleida. I booked the appointment and she was very responsive to my needs. She is always very professional, knowledgeable and super helpful. She helped me in my post surgery recovery for more than 3+ mos. and she has guided me in every step of the recovery process. Her guidance and recommendations to expedite my recovery were on point! Her massages are very effective and noticeable. I can definitely see improvements after every single session. I definitely recommend her % and glad that found her and I definitely enjoy her expertise.

I had an appointment on Sunday for a Thai massage. Aleida is such a sweet lady who runs the business from her basement. The house smelt so good and it was clean. I have never had a Thai massage before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Aleida explained what was going to happen and told me it wasn’t like a traditional massage which takes place on a massage bed. Instead I was told my lie down on the floor on a mattress. She took her time on my problem areas and I’m telling you, this lady has magic hands. She knows the human anatomy so well and was able to get rid of so many of my knots and relieve pain from my problem areas . I have found my new go to masseuse. Please try her one time at least. You will not regret it. I will definitely be coming back. 10/10 service.

This was an amazing massage experience. Aleida is excellent at her job! She is very good at finding area’s of stress and tension to relieve. The feel is relaxed and professional, and Aleida was very accommodating. As my first professional massage, I highly recommend her! I will definitely be back for another massage.

When I say I recommend 10/10. Don’t be afraid at first you pull up it looks like a house but she did such an amazing job it was so peaceful I like how the sheets smelled minty and she focus on areas I asked her. I got the hot rock massage. I’ will be back

She is awesome, I have seen her several times for my several pain and tightness. she is is the sweetest woman showing me tips to help work on the tightness at home. I would highly recommend her.

Best of the best, I’ve never had such an amazing massage therapist before. Aleida Did a fantastic job getting rid of my nots and stiffness. Very professional and extremely nice! Will definitely be my permanent therapist. 100% recommend!
