    • 5.0
    • 60 reviews

    In a beautifully decorated studio in Fells Point, [Instructor] brings a level of personal care to every session that clients describe as genuinely rare. Spa Adagio runs on an unhurried philosophy: [Instructor] takes time to understand what you're looking for before the session begins, communicates with you throughout, and personalizes every element of the massage to your specific body and concerns.

    Reviewers consistently describe it as one of the best massages they've ever received, often noting the customized experience rather than a template session. Hot stone add-ons and mini-facials are available. For first-timers, [Instructor] recommends calling ahead to verify scheduling, a reflection of how much she values being fully present for each appointment.

    "This is one of the best massages I have ever received! In many ways, some other studios can feel rushed.

    • 4.8
    • 71 reviews
