The Healing Path

Really great spot! I discovered it after purchasing a Groupon for a 1 hour massage. It was too short! I’ll definitely go back for a longer one. Nate was very good– really worked the areas of tension without over doing it.

I had a wonderful prenatal massage here by Jeanne. Everything about my experience was great. The Healing Path has a nice and relaxing environment. The staff is very friendly and I have felt welcomed every time I have come in here. My massage was excellent and I was very pleased with the results. I initially thought it was not going to be as good as the last massage I had but I actually think the results of this massage were better than my last one. I felt so relaxed following my visit here I felt like I could fall right to sleep. She made the room a perfect temperature and checked in on me occasionally to ensure I was comfortable. I look forward to coming back after baby is born for a post-​natal massage!

Went there for the first time for one hour back massage. Cassandra was awesome! I felt like I have a brand new muscles lol. Definitely will go back there! Thank you

Went here for the first time, today with my boyfriend. We both got separate 75 min massages. I scheduled myself with Nate Miller and scheduled Tony with Chrissy Stewart.
Very pleased with this practice. It’s got a lovely open and relaxing space in Fells Point. The receptionist was kind and attentive (especially considering there was lot of clients coming in an out.
Nate was wonderful. He went over my initial paperwork and discussed areas of stress, tension and any medical issues I might have. He has a great massage technique. He really focused on tension areas. Very therapeutic. Disclaimer: I’m the kind of person who can endure a certain level of ‘good’ pain. With his deep tissue technique, I enjoyed the ‘good’ pain. However, even when he wasn’t focusing on deep tissue massaging, his technique still felt relieving and therapeutic. I highly recommend Nate to any type of client, but especially people who have desk jobs and/​or anyone who is very athletic.
Tony raved about Chrissy. He walked out of it in a daze and extremely relaxed. He already wants to go back.
Definitely try this gem of a practice out.

I have been here a couple of times, once for a facial, and once for a massage.
First, the facial: Wonderful. Amazing. Possibly the best sustained 60 minutes of my life. I saw Brittany and she was great in basically every way. Her mannerism was very comfortable and professional. There was a lot of scalp/​shoulder/​arm massaging included in the facial, which is always nice. I was a little worried during the experience that she may have been actually exfoliating my entire face off, but to my surprise my skin looked great in the end — no irritation or breakouts afterward. She definitely knows what she’s doing!
Encouraged by my best-​ever facial, I booked a massage for the following week and was given Tisha after telling them I preferred not-​too-​light/​not-​too-​hard touch (just like Baby Bear). So… yeah, I’m surprised by the positive mention here of the same therapist. Because that turned out to be the weirdest and most unpleasant massage I’ve ever had. Before we started, I told her that I get migraines and as a result have a lot of tension in my neck/​shoulders.
Ok. Here’s what happened during the massage: –Lots of hair pulling. Like, she’d put her hand in my hair, swirl it around, then grab at the roots and yank. I’m not sure what that was for (possibly because I told her about migraines?) but it hurt. –Fingers in my ear, jerking my head around while gently pinching my elbow skin. –Very light tickling of my back and armpits, to the point that I felt skeeved out. In fact, if she had been a male therapist I would have ended it because I would have felt like I was being molested. All in all, there was no technique and I felt like she was just randomly touching me rather than actually working systematically on muscle groups, which is what every other massage I’ve ever had has been like. I left feeling basically the same as I had when I walked in, just a little bit violated, with messy hair and sore spots on my arms where she dug in. Oh yeah, and out $ 70 plus tip.
Look, part of this is on me because I should have spoken up and told her the whole thing was just making me super uncomfortable. But I just wanted it to end and I was so surprised by how awkward it was that I was struck dumb. I do think a good massage therapist would have picked up on a client who’s cringing so hard that they’re trying to crawl away from you on the table, but hey… Maybe she did sense my displeasure, because when she was done she just said, «Thanks, have a good night,» and walked out of the room. I didn’t see her again as I checked out. I considered not tipping, but that would make me feel bad. So I’ll just chalk it up to a lesson learned.
So, three stars for The Healing Path — The place has some great stuff to offer but be aware that their service can be uneven. I really hesitated to name the therapist here, but unfortunately my bad experience had only to do with her and it’s not that helpful for you to read this review without knowing who it’s about.

I love this little day spa in the heart of Fells Point. I’ve met with Nate here, as well as Chelsea (for reflexology), and they are both amazing! The space itself is beautiful and I like that it’s just a little bit away from the bars and restaurants (about a block and a half from where all the fun is), which keeps things a little quieter.

I cannot even express how fantastic my massage from here was with Latisha! Not only is she a fantastic massuse, she is super sweet. In 31 years this was the best massage I’ve ever received.

I went to the Healing Path for a massage about two weeks ago. I had a stressful few weeks of work and wanted to treat myself to something relaxing. I arrived at my appointment about 20 minutes early. My massage therapist was running late, which I totally understand, but due to that, the massage started at least 20 minutes late. She asked me what I was there for and I explained relaxation and stress reduction. As soon as we got started, it was immediately very painful. I asked her to please use less pressure, and she did not. I hoped that as she moved to a different part of my body, it would change, but still the same level of pain. I have had massages before and understand that there are sometimes some level of «uncomfortableness» when there is a tense muscle, but this was incredibly painful the ENTIRE time. Not one minute of it was relaxing. The massage ended early (which for the first time in a massage, I was happy about), I couldn’t sleep that night because my back hurt so bad. This pain went on for at least a week.
The day after my massage, I emailed The Healing Path about my experience. I didn’t receive a response, so after a few days I called. They said that there wasn’t a manager on duty and took my name and phone number for one to call me back. 5 days later… nothing. I call again, and get a manager this time. I explain the situation to her, and how I had made multiple attempts to contact them, and all she said was that she would mention it to the owner. Absolutely zero attempts to try to make the situation right. No apologies for why I never got a response to my email or first phone call. I asked her to please have the owner call me, and that never happened either.
I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt because I had a good massage there a while ago and have friends who have had good experiences. As you can tell, I never write Unilocal reviews, in fact this is one of my firsts. Writing this review was my last resort, because I wanted to give them the chance to fix the situation. This massage was something that I saved up for as a treat to myself, and it is very upsetting that not only was it a painful experience, but that I have been treated so poorly since then.

Beautiful space in Fells Point. I signed up for the monthly membership and have been 3 times so far. Chrissy is my favorite masseuse — she really took the time to focus on my head/​neck/​shoulders after I came in with a migraine yesterday, and now I feel great!

Have been here several times because it is so close to my house I wanted to love it. On one occasion they charged me twice for my massage and I only noticed when reviewing my credit card bill. Last week I booked a 45 minute stress buster and the massage lasted less than 30 minutes and the woman seemed really rushed the whole time. When I brought this up at checkout they said it was because they leave more time for changing than I had used… I’m sorry but you should not leave 15 minutes for «changing» during a 45 minute massage. I have given up on trying to like this place. The massages are not good enough to pull off their scamming tendencies… go have a massage somewhere it will be relaxing and fair!!!

I was suffering from lower back and neck pain and made a massage appointment with Kyle at the Fells Point location based on the positive reviews here — I’m so glad I did because the massage was fantastic and I have had zero pain since. I had a really great experience and will definitely be returning!

Overall a pretty solid massage. I got a deal where I bought the massages in bulk to use through October. I liked meeting with Nate. He was thorough and attentive and asked specific questions to help address troublesome areas. He also met with me afterwards to give me advice on how to improve my back at home. I like that I was able to get a same day appointment.

Just had an amazing massage from Kyle. I’ve been having back pain from a car accident and I found The Healing Path on Groupon so I decided to try it out. I was able to get in the same day as purchase and they exceeded my expectations. Kyle really worked my sore muscles and applied a lot of pressure, but not so much that I was in pain. My back isn’t as tense and I feel much more relaxed. Can’t wait to book my next appointment with him!

I scheduled a 90 min. session at the recommendation of my daughter (she is local, I am not), who recently had visited The Healing Path with her husband.
I loved everything about this place and the massage with Nate was exceptional. He was truly invested providing a diverse, therapeutic massage and adjusted his technique appropriately for problem areas. I felt great for days afterwards.
The space is clean and welcoming in a charming, renovated building. The staff I interacted with couldn’t have been nicer.
Be advised that gratuities are accepted in CASH only. I had missed this in the confirmation email but there is an ATM just a couple blocks away.
I will definitely be scheduling follow up sessions during my next Baltimore visit !

I had two wonderful prenatal massages here with Jesse. I highly recommend them, beautiful space and super relaxing!

I walked by this place a lot and wanted to try it out. I made an appointment for their signature massage. It was my first time here. I love massages and have gotten several over the years. The last one was at The Pearl in Fulton Town Center (wonderful!!). I figured this small neighborhood place would be nice, not a full out spa like The Pearl but still nice enough. It’s not. It’s very stark, the room (seemed to me they only have one room), was not inviting, it was practically empty except for the massage table which was not very comfortable. The massage therapist was not ready until 15 min after my appointment was supposed to start. The receptionist did not even say that he was running behind. He did not introduce himself and just led me to the room. The massage was not good. Not good at all. He had asked me if I had a part I wanted special attention. I regret ever telling him. Usually a massage has a process where they target your whole body in 60 min. His technique was completely lopsided. There were movements that he had my extremities make which were awkward. Not only that but he actually hurt me for a whole hour. I was making ouch noises the whole hour. I even told him he was hurting me. Didn’t matter. He would put less pressure and then go back to hurting me again. I was in pain for the rest of the week. I cannot believe how bad it was. And THE WORST PART, they have a special for first timers of $ 70 vs. the usual $ 90. Nope, they charged me full price for the worst massage ever. It was like Monica from Friends, this guy get the award for worst massage. I will never go back and never recommend this place to anyone. Stay away if you want to be able to walk without help.

Love everyone here! No amenities but great place for the actual services!
I tried most of the therapists and acupuncture as well. Kyle is the best for massage! He works with you and absolutely knows what he is doing. And I’ve had A LOT of massages in my life… So far ;)

Beautiful space in the heart of Fells Point! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Marlene is awesome — she really opened up my neck and shoulders! I will definitely be a return client.
