I couldnt have been more satisfied with my experience. I booked a private Spa and Yoga class experience for a Family Girl’s Experience. Prior to coming I requested some modifications to accommodate my senior mother and aunt. Kathleen was very helpful. When I explained my vision she went above and beyond to ensure their first time experience exceeded what I imagined. We had chair yoga, private lunch, massages, and facials. Everyone we encountered was friendly and very professional. I highly recommend a visit and plan to return in the future.

I always love coming here. I love the atmosphere and kindness of all staff. I had a massage therapy session with Sierra today, and she was outstanding. Exactly what I needed. She is definitely one of the best! I look forward to another session with her in the near future.

Loved Victoria!!! She was gentle and I truly relaxed. My husband got me the massage not really knowing if I could get one in the first trimester. So she made me feel comfortable by not targeting any trigger points. My nausea has been so bad this was the best distraction. The spa is relaxing and beautiful!!!

We were here on vacation, and I booked a couples massage for me and my husband for his birthday! Best decision ever!! I had Samantha and she did an amazing job!! My hand has bothering me for months due to being a dental hygienist, and it’s amazing how wonderful it feels now!! My husband had Megan, and he was also very satisfied and has never had a similar massage!! His arms arms and shoulders feel amazing!! Wish you guys were in Jacksonville! If we’re ever back here, we’ll definitely request you again!!

Just awesome sauce! My fiancé and I wanted to do a couple’s massage and called them the day of. They got us in a few hours later and were able to accommodate for a prenatal massage too. Both my fiancé and I said it was probably one of the best massages either one of us had received! Highly recommend!

This was my first time going to Spa-Northwest. It is a very clean and professional spa with a GREAT zen feel. Victoria was my masseuse and was AMAZING! She worked out all my knots and made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage. I purchased 4 more sessions before I left.

Friendly helpful and accommodating staff. There was a mixup in scheduling for additional clients which left one of us without a masseuse. Kathleen called Tara who was very gracious to come in on her day off to fill the gap. Great example of Customer Service!

Nicole was absolutely amazing. Every time I have gotten a massage in the past I told them about my shoulder and they didn’t really focus a lot of energy into it. But she asked me about it, when it hurts what I’m doing when it hurts, how long it has hurt, what makes it feel better and she really was able to work on it. My shoulder has bothered me for over 10 years and it’s been over a week since my massage and it still feels normal 😁

Though located on busy Manatee Avenue, Kathleens studio is a hidden oasis and refuge. The depth of her background in both yoga and massage shines through in her various level classes and bodywork. Though I have been doing yoga for some 40 years, I seem to learn something new and helpful each time I practice with her. The sequencing and variety of poses appear intuitive, but clearly she prepares the classes carefully. Her understanding of the bodys anatomy and proper alignment techniques help to keep students safe. She also passes on her positive energy and enthusiasm to the studios other teachers and massage therapists.

My husband and I got a massage today at spa Northwest. The experience was very nice from the time we called to set up the appointment .They helped us to get the right massage therapist for what treatment would be good for us and most helpful. I asked for deep tissue and they put me in with Juan Carlos he was absolutely amazing the deep tissue massage was very professional and he was very educated in a lot of different techniques he help me with my pain in one treatment. My husband also liked his massage and we will definitely come back.

This is my very favorite venue for yoga! In the two years plus that I have been coming here, I have never had a disappointing experience. Each teacher has their own unique approach and style. The staff is courteous and friendly and the owners (Paul and Kathleen) are very accessible.

My experience at Gallen was evermore relaxing than I expected. It was a very calm and clean environment, that felt extremely warm and welcoming. As it was my first time being in a massage/yoga studio, I was a little nervous, but I knew as soon as Cameo greeted me at the door with her smile, it was a very comfortable place! As she massaged me, I could tell she was very skilled in her profession, and is able to work around areas that might be more tender or injured accordingly. She made me feel extremely relaxed and I could tell she genuinely cares about her clients well-being/ satisfaction in the massage. I strongly recommend Gallen Studios to anyone seeking a massage; I know I will most definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem. Thai massage from Kathleen is a real treat. She is skilled, knowledgeable and also just a very caring person. New addition Alicia Nolan is absolutely fabulous and intuitive...one of the best massage therapists Ive ever found...and right here in our backyard. I heartily recommend both Kathleen and Alicia..and am certain anyone else Kathleen adds to her team is going to be fabulous as well.

I went in today for a 90 minute deep tissue. We started rubbing at 2:05. 20 minutes in I asked to add the Thai foot scrub which was a $15 add on for an extra 15 minutes of massage on the feet. The massage therapist agreed and went and got the scrub ready. Well I ended up being shorted 25 minutes of massage. At 3:25 she finished and said I could get dressed. I mentioned it to the receptionist and she didnt make me pay for the foot scrub. The massage itself was good. You could tell the masseuse was not in a good mood. I will be trying somewhere different next time.

My 1 hr. massage, by Doylin, was absolutely wonderful. Im 77 yrs young & she was very careful to not apply too much pressure. She was delightful and I will be back! My name is Daisy, but my husband has the email account to explain the name difference. Thank you for a totally enjoyable experience at your beautiful spa.

Went for intro facial and massage with my daughter for her birthday and I was VERY impressed. I am not one who can typically relax during the day as my plate is always full and I actually fell asleep during the facial!!! I have not felt that relaxed in years. Cant wait to go back.

I love the variety of yoga this studio has. The owner, Kathleen is also a massage therapist so she knows her anatomy. I used to love taking the yin classes, but my favorite part is how inviting the space is and how Kathleen always asks how things are going. Sometimes its nice to have that kind of sincere personal act of kindness.

I have had 2 great experiences at Gallen Massage and Yoga and look forward to many more. I had a massage with Alicia that was one of the very best that Ive ever had!!! And the yoga for stress relief class with Stephanie was excellent too. The combination of massage and yoga made such a difference in the way I feel.

Yesterday, I treated my mom and I to the classic 1 hr massage. My therapist, Tara, was amazing. This was a different massage then Ive ever had and at first I want sure if I liked it. I went in to just be rubbed on and feel relaxed but in addition to a massage, she found spots on body that were tender, worked them out, and stretched me. Today I feel phenomenal. I scheduled an appointment for my husband worth her for tomorrow! They had a small issue with their POS System and the receptionist (I forget her name) was very kind and said not to worry about it and they would call me with any problems. A few hours later I got a call from the owner apologizing!! Over all an incredible experience!

I have had several massages by Kathleen that are among the best Ive ever received. She combines techniques that provide relaxation, stretching and deep tissue massage that leave you feeling loose, calm and stress free. I recently received a massage from another therapist at her practice, Cameo, and again I was completely satisfied. She used similar techniques and effectively dealt with some neck and shoulder pain I was experiencing. The atmosphere was relaxing and very spa-like. Although I have not taken any myself, I have heard that the classes offered there are outstanding. Gallen Massage and Yoga has my highest recommendation.

Massage or yoga, Kathleen and her small crew are fantastic! Professional, super-pleasant, caring, and well, just lovely.Never have I felt that I was just another body or name on the books. All in all, finding Kathleen has been a life-changing event for me. I cannot recommended them highly enough. Whatever might be wrong, I guarantee that this bunch is just what you need!

Finally got up the courage to take a yoga class after buying a Groupon for Spa-NW. I am not in great shape and carrying a few too many pounds so Ive been a bit intimidated to try yoga. But, Im glad I did! Jenny was a great teacher and the facility was very clean and serene. Great experience that will become a habit!

I have had the privilege of going to Gallen Massage since it’s opening. Kathleen, Cameo, and Alicia have a clear understanding of what customer service is all about, they are extremely kind, courteous, and professional. I have been fortunate to experience several massages from Cameo Ewing, she immediately puts her clients at ease conveying this is your time I assure you will walk out relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. I can attest this will be an exceptional massage, so book now.

As a fellow massage therapist and yoga instructor, its nice to find a professional group that is not only dedicated to whole body health, but also immensely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a fantastic place for beginners or experienced yogis. Its truly a treasure to find such a progressive wellness center in the Bradenton area.

BEST massage of my life! Today was my first time to Spa NorthWest. I was eager to try their Thai Massage, but with no appointments available right now, I decided to go for a traditional massage with a thai foot scrub. Nicole, my therapist was just AMAZING. I knew in the first minute this was the best massage I had ever had (and I get 20 or so a year). It was clear that Nicole was constantly customizing the massage to my needs (without any words exchanged). I wish I could spend the day having Nicole work on my knots and stress. The spa and yoga studio are very clean and peaceful and the owner, Kathleen, took time to show me around and explain the membership and package options available after I expressed a desire to come back...soon. I cant wait for my next visit and trying a variety of the services they offer. This place is a gem and a must visit if you appreciate true massage therapy.

I can honestly say, the massages at Spa-Northwest are the best you will ever have. Even after moving 45 miles away, I still travel to Bradenton for a massage. And, the facials are also wonderful. Treat yourself to Spa-Northwest -- youll be so happy you did.

I attended Kathleen Gallens yoga class and was amazed by my experience. I had never taken yoga before and thought I would not be able to keepup with the class and possibly be laughed at. Instead, Kathleen made it easyfor me to feel comfortable as a newbee. I am 65 years old and enjoy how thestretching and relaxing make me feel. My daughter is coming with me next week!

Review №64

I went in for an introductory deep tissue massage yesterday because my neck and spine were locked up and I no longer had full range of motion for almost 2 weeks. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant and tranquil.My only complaint was the massage was painful for me and when I let my therapist know she apologized, but didnt let up on the pressure at all. Its why I only have them 4 stars, Ill reserve judgement until Ive tried a relaxation massage instead. I have sensitive skin and my muscles were so knotted that I expected it to be a little painful and today I feel like Im bruises. Though I have full range of motion in my neck for the first time in over a week and most of my knots havent returned.I want to make it clear that Im not knocking the therapist for being in pain right now. I did some research and its not uncommon to be sore after a deep tissue, especially if you dont drink enough water to flush the lactic acid from your system. I didnt know what to expect going in, so I wanted to post a review so others understand deep tissue is not to be taken lightly.

I play a lot of tennis and for some time had been contemplating a massage to deal with muscle tightness in neck and shoulders -decided this was the time and started checking around on-line. Liked what I saw at Spa Northwest a lot and booked a Deep Tissue session. My therapist, Tara, was awesome!Most of the massage just felt great and was very pleasurable and relaxing. But given my tightness, there were a few moments of deep tissue -and I mean deep!!- needed as well. Ive had massage before, so knew what was coming! ;) Taras skill was evident and I was able with complete confidence to just breath into and through the brief moments of the greatest intensity. And man was it ever worth it afterwards! (by the way, please dont let what Im saying worry you: I had told Tara in advance about my background and what I wanted, and during the massage I sensed she was reading my bodys feedback and knew what I could take and how deep she could go with me.)Afterwards (and still), there was a sensation of cleanness in my body, an underlying relaxation and spaciousness -is how it occurs to me to say it. I noticed the next time I got on court the difference it made in my movement, my ground-strokes and my serving!The facility was aesthetically pleasing and clean, all the staff friendly and welcoming. I love it that they also offer yoga with meditation, for there is just a great energy in the place. I will definitely be back for another visit the next time Im in Bradenton! Thank you!

Lovely experience at Gallen Massage. A gentle welcome from the front desk and the serene botique ambiance set the mood for a much needed relaxing afternoon. I had a wonderful massage with an added Sheffali facial. Loved the massage and products so much that my next massage is booked and took home my own orange blossom mosturizer. Professional staff and setting made me feel like I was in a Miami spa.

My fiance and I recently both had a massage by Cameo from Gallen Massage and Yoga. It was both of our first times, and let me tell you, it did not dissapoint! The level of professionalism and technic was awesome. Cameo made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. She did an hour on me first and then an hour on my fiance and was able to keep up her stamina and do the massages to there fullest potential. We definatly will be going to Cameo for more massages and we suggest her to anyone looking for a fabolous massage!!
