Today (12/4/2020) me and a friend of mines started the new year off right. We went ahead and booked a friendship massage for our girls day out! We both live an hour away in Felton, DE and didn't mind the drive up to Wilmington. When it came time to call and make an appt -We both were able to get in and get an appt set up right away , even for this Saturday, which was such short notice. By the way this was our very first professional massage,So we were already so excited and ready to lay back and relax. Our First impression of the place was that their practice was very clean & peaceful. The staff was also extremely nice & greeted us as soon as we walked in. Literally a few minutes later our massage techs ( Ms.Dorothy + Ms.Nira ) we're ready for us to go back and begin our massage. They explained to us what we had to do to get ready, as well as ask what some of our problem areas were , so that they could focus on that in particular. But the main thing :was to lay down , close our eyes and relax our bodies while they take over . The moment/second, the massage began, I had gotten goose bumps from head to toe!. It felt so amazing! Both ladies were very professional, gentle with a soft touch and made us feel calm +comfortable. They took their time and didn't rush. We had chosen to get a 60minute Swedish/ relaxation massage and I'm telling you, it was the best! The room was warm and the lights were dimmed down, plus they had relaxing music on as well. By the time they were finished with our massage, we were left feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. All of our kinks were massaged out and at one point I even heard my friend snoring from the table across from me. Lol "and I know to some of those reading this review, May think this may seem like a fairytale story but honest to god,  this practice is just that awesome. We truly Had a wonderful experience and I was more then happy with the massage. I would definitely recommend family & friends to come here, or just anyone who could use these types of services..*Go and have a try for yourself. You WONT be disappointed! .. I just want to thank "A balanced Life Massage" and the massage techs that me and my friend were assigned , for just Making our girls day out even more better then it already was! I will definitely be returning and getting a membership with you guys!  Much love, Heather Jackson + Brenda Kinzer. More...

I had a massage with Gerald last night and it was everything I needed. Gerald was so very nice, had a warm smile and made me feel very comfortable. Having had a few massages at other places, I’d say this was the best one I’ve ever had. I left feeling more like myself, calmed, relaxed and slept great that night. More...

Busy office and one person at the front desk at any given time. Leave them a VM instead of calling several times and hanging up. They’ll be happy to return your phone call. Even email them!!! They are a popular place.By the way don’t go through Groupon. I’ve learned Groupons can only be booked on the weekdays and not all therapists take them. They can set you up so call them. Leave them that VM! By joining their membership program, I automatically have a massage set aside once a month just waiting for me to schedule for. Of course if I don’t come in that month my massage rolls over to the following month. Becoming a member assures I get discounted massages, including premium massages like Hot Stone, Lomi Lomi or Mu Xing. Coming in regularly I’ve noticed relief from the muscle pain in my shoulders, improved circulation in my hands, and over all an increased range of motion. Treat yourself! They offer great prices and services even after your first visit rate. Don’t let the lower reviews below sway you. They’re grumpy and in need of more massages!-Asha More...

I've been coming here for roughly 3 weeks. I don't know if that's excessive but it works for me.I've had the full body massage as well as reflexology and recently cupping. All were awesome and I was totally relaxed.I had never heard of cupping before last week and I'm glad I tried it. It helps the toxins in your body and it was a great experience. I feel great. I'm getting all 3 today. Clean and affordable and very professional. More...

I can't say enough about how ABLM has a massage experience for everyone. You could go every day for 2 weeks and experience a different type of massage, a different masseuse each day until you find what you like. And the membership saves lots of money and excuses. You know you need one, so stop snapping at your kids or co workers and take some time for you!!! More...

D.J. probably gave me the best massage I’ve ever had! First, she really listened to me when I requested the areas which needed the most attention. I recently had a knee replacement and she was gentle and very cautious to ensure the knee was stable and protected. Most importantly, I was quite impressed with her strength and ability to provide deep massage to specific areas which were holding stress. D.J. Is a young massage therapist who will use her strength and obvious training to make a person glad they received a high quality massage by her. Oh and everyone who works there is professional, courteous and friendly. It’s a calm environment and I’m so pleased I tried it (thanks Groupon). Excellent! More...

A very relaxing experienceWith an abundant supply of arthritic and other complaints, I went to A Balanced Life Massage today seeking some relief. I also have had numerous surgeries after a dissolute life with HS and college athletics and, to be frank, I was hurting. After an hour, I left feeling drained and a bit like one of what I call "puddle" puppies who look so relaxed as to have been poured into a melting heap. I was fixing my thoughts on a nap before dinner. After awaking, I felt that familiar warmth and relaxation that one frequently gets from a good massage, in the hands of a practiced professional. The facility was inviting and clean and the whole experience was very rewarding and satisfying. I would rate the overall experience as being one of the top five massages that I have received in about six different countries. I would grade the experience with a B+/A- and it was very well worth the cost which, in this case, involved a Groupon. More...

I've had several therapists. All were quite professional. Some stronger and more stamina than others over 90 minute period. Some customers like to talk and you can hear all they say. So, don't always expect complete silence even with music playing. Want an excellent deep-tissue massage?. This is the place. More...

I have been seeing Lily for several months now, and she is excellent! She is very versatile, from deep tissue work to gentler massages for general maintenance or relaxation. She listens and pays attention to any areas I feel like need extra work, but can also figure out the areas that need focus during visits where I can’t pinpoint a particular area of soreness. I always leave feeling miles better than when I went in, and she gives good suggestions for things to try at home too.Easy to schedule appointments and the membership is very cost effective.Only issues I have are that the rooms are not very sound proofed, so you can hear other customers talking if they are loud, and I wish they would fix the bathroom inside their office. Is annoying to use the hallway bathroom with its bright lights and loud hand driers when you come out of your massage feeling relaxed. More...

First time going to A Balanced Life Massage, and it was a wonderful experience. My therapist, Pat, was the most kind, understanding, and accommodating therapist I've had. I'm a 4 year breast cancer survivor and it's difficult for me to lay comfortably on my stomach. It's difficult to find a massage therapist who specializes in post-mastectomy massage, and while she was not a specialist in this field, she tried what I suggested and did a wonderful job. I've had therapists in the past refuse to change their personal techniques, but she did everything she could to make me comfortable. I also found out afterward that the owner specializes in some post surgery massages. I will definitely be returning! More...

Rebecca and I had our first massage experience and were lucky enough to have it at A Balanced Life Massage in Wilmington. We signed up for a Couples Massage with Brian and Patricia . They reached out to us to make sure we were as comfortable with our first experience as we could be. They asked us what we might prefer and what we wanted avoided. Occasionally through the process they would confirm that we were comfortable and/ or had proper pressure applied. I would most definitely recommend this company again and plan on visiting again.

Purchased a couples massage on Amazon and took a random Saturday to go. Easy 30 or so min drive from South Philly. Plenty of parking out front. The lobby was calm and soft, and the recptionists were kind and friendly. Intake was paperless (yes!!!) didnt ask a thousand questions. Our masage staff was friendly, and greeted us right away. The room was big, and bare but certainly calm. Mayve a few large plants could even enhance the welcoming nature! My criticism here is that it was a bit cold in the room but that is to be expected - it is repurposed office space. The room likely can't be heated more so than the whole space, I assume. The massages were great, and we then spent 20 minutes in the salt closet which was this wooden stall with digital controls, lights and music, and nice and hot. That was wonderful!  All in all - listen. Go. It is great! I liked it so much that I will be purchasing a package or becoming a member next pay ! More...

An incredible experience at this place. Jennifer at the front desk was super nice. I always feel uncomfortable at a new place but Jennifer's calm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. My massage therapist was Carrie (spelling?) and she was on point! My husband had DJ and she was awesome as well. My husband said she was "tremendous. Don't let her small frame fool you." My husband is a 6"8 muscular type. I guess, a "beef cake" is the most common description. Anyway, we will be returning and requesting the same massage therapists. Thank you for an excellent experience!!! More...

I went here for a massage for the first time and overall I had a pretty good experience. I was a bit nervous because of the bad reviews when it came to noise in the hallways and massage technicians being unprofessional but Yolanda was great, and it was quiet in the building the whole time. I went on a Tuesday night. The beds were heated which was amazing and the rooms were relaxing as well. I also got the first time client 60 minute massage for $39.The only reason I gave A Balanced Life Massage 4 stars is because the music was a little weird. It was instrumentals of a mixture of all types of music. I mean it went from Celene Dion "My heart will go on" to Wiz Khalifa "Black and Yellow" and I feel like the speed of the music subconsciously made my massage technician massage with the music, so it wasn't always consistent. Other than that everything was great, I will definitely go back in the future. More...

This was my first professional massage ever, so take my review how you want. I had a very good experience with the whole process. I booked on the mind body app which I find makes things much easier for massage, Yoga, fitness classes, and cryotherapy. Once I came in at my scheduled time they took care of me immediately. There was limited availability, so I could only book 30mins, but that's because I booked the same day. The massage therapist was very friendly and did a fantastic job with my massage. She went out of her way to get to my sore legs on limited time. She was excellent! I don't think this is a luxury place, but for a quick, very good massage I highly recommend it! More...
