New Spirit Massage + Bodywork

Rylie is an amazing gifted massage therapist. Personable, friendly, and down to earth. She has an amazing touch and is by far the best I’ve been every been to.
She is in tune with her intuition and uses her skills to work areas out without me even having to ask!
She’s created a beautiful oasis in the middle of a busy city; Her clean atmosphere made me very comfortable as well as her professionalism. Rylie takes the time to ask questions and get to know you and your body, if you have any injuries or sensitive areas. She is very thorough!
I would highly recommend her services. In fact, I liked my experience so much I purchased gift certificates for my friends and husband, even my pregnant friend had amazing experience with Rylie and raved about how comfortable Rylie made her feel.
An amazing therapist and extremely gifted, definitely a must try!

Rylie is just fantastic. She’s truly kind and compassionate, and provides a great massage to boot. I come to her whenever I’m feeling stressed, and always leave feeling much better, physically and emotionally. And I love the space; it’s an office on the outside but a spa on the inside. Despite its location downtown, I’ve never been bothered by outside noises, and have wholly enjoyed every session with Rylie. I’ve seen four different massage therapists in the GVA, and Rylie is the one I’ll keep coming back to. She works wonders with my tight shoulders and overworked muscles!

the ambience of a spa, but the massage of someone trained and knowledgable like an rmt… it’s the best of both worlds. it’s like a massage, yoga, and meditation all in one. rylie is amazing, and i would definitely come back. i’m very picky and particular about my massages and masseuses, but rylie makes the cut. she really understands the physiology of the body and applies the right amount of pressure in all the right places. the massage is so relaxing while you’re on the table but also feels so healing afterwards.

I have no idea what the other reviewers on Unilocal are talking about… Rylie was absolutely AWESOME… best massage I have had yet in this city! And for ME to say that… it actually means something. Why? I am also a massage therapist, and not only do I know what a massage experience is supposed to be like, I am SUPER picky about massage being done on me. I’ve tried out a few here, and honestly, I thought most of them were not very good and lacked what a REAL massage should entail. In fact, I have almost left some places because they were so bad. Rylie however was different… the whole experience was fantastic. The room is absolutely beautiful, warm and inviting… not like the stereotypical cold, white walled, clinical feel; it’s very spacious — 3 times the size of a normal massage studio (so you don’t feel like you are in a sardine can); she was intuitive and listened to what my body needed; and her pace and pressure were perfect. Throughout the whole 90min I found myself drifting in and out of consciousness because I was so relaxed… that doesn’t happen often for me. Rare in fact.
To address some of the other Unilocal reviews, filling in a client form for your first time is standard… the practitioner needs to know your history to be able to help you effectively and to be able to tailor your massage to your specific needs. This should be expected at any reputable massage place. I do the same with my clients.
As for session time… I actually timed mine because I was curious. I know a lot of massage places do cut session time short… however, not Rylie. She actually went over my scheduled time, giving me even more than I expected. I suspect that the other reviewers were probably late for their appointment. In which case, their reviews are unfair.
Would I recommend Rylie? 100% yes. I will be back for sure. Finding someone good is hard. I went in a stressed-​out mess and came out looking like a smiling wet noodle. Doesn’t get much better than that in my opinion! :)

Rylie may have saved my sanity today. I’ve had an unusually stressful and chaotic few weeks, and just feeling exhausted and tense, and so I booked an appointment with her for my second visit (first being my Groupon a few months ago). She’s got a good instinct for finding the spots that need it. I like a LOT of pressure in my massage, which I found she is very capable of delivering, so I’m a bit surprised by the other comment on her strength. I basically walked in and told her «get out the jackhammers, my back is gonna need it»!
She has a very holistic approach and may have suggestions for other types of treatments or other types of practitioners she knows, but she’s not pushy about any of it or any products she offers. She’s very responsive; she listens and chats if you feel like chatting, and is quiet when you want to just soak up the experience or drift off, which I did.
After the massage, I wandered back out into the world and almost immediately had to deal with more stresses that would have turned me into a crumbling wreck earlier in the day. But I was feeling so much more balanced and, well, sane, that it didn’t seem like such a big deal. I think it’s all gonna be okay!

I was so impressed by Rylie’s professionalism.
Before the session, we had a conversation about where and how I feel mostly uncomfortable and painful. I really liked how she took time to listen to my case and customized for my needs. She also advised me on how to relax my muscles, where I often feel tired at home. So now I can do it myself, in between my appointments.
I can see that she is very knowledgeable and she wants my body to feel better.
Of course, the massage session itself was AMAZING! I am not sure how long the session was, but it didn’t matter for me. After the session, I felt like I had just woken up from a good night sleep with sweet sweet dreams.

Unfortunatelly i was very disappointed with Her massage and service. She spent twenty minutes with me chatting and filling in the form, after that she wanted to take away this time from my treatment. Oryginally i bought with groupon 1hour and 15 min of massage and i end up having 40min of massage, i is unacceptable! would never go tere again!

Rylie is nice enough and has an incredible story of why she became a masseuse but I wasn’t loving the massage. It was sort of pricey (good thing I had a groupon), she insisted that the strength was perfect (I felt like it wasn’t strong enough) and didn’t last for the time… I spent like 15 mins filling in a form and discussing my massage history. There’s better in Vancouver IMHO.
