The perfect place to unwind after a stressful day, as they offer a glass of wine or water before your appointment. As I was led into my room for a facial, I noticed the ornate walls and doors of this room. White, crafted wallpaper, as old as the building, and three maple stained- 9 to 10 foot tall doors that that glided silently on rollers gave this room a feel of timeless warmth and coziness. The facial itself was relaxing and the staff make you feel at home. I already booked my next appointment!
I had my first ever prenatal massage here with Corey. So professional. The best massage I’ve ever gotten, I seriously left there feeling brand new and out of my body in ways. I loved the office and atmosphere and front desk staff was very kind & over all, this is where I will always book my services while in Tacoma!
I booked a facial with Iza today. She was friendly, professional, and easy to chat with. She is knowledgeable in her practice and took her time. Carpe Diem is a really unique and welcoming space in the heart of the Stadium District. I can’t wait to come back for another appointment!
Wonderful calming atmosphere & very great massage!
Professional warm effective
Richard was incredible. This specific massage was focused on relieving symptoms of whiplash from a snowboarding accident. Richard was very informative prior to the massage and knowledgeable on how to relieve the targeted area of my neck and shoulders. I left feeling almost fully recovered after dealing with pain that had persisted for two weeks. Highly recommend him!
Sokenna was my massage therapist and she did a wonderful job. It was exactly what I needed and hoped for! Great pressure.. It was the perfect combo of deep tissue and relaxation. She was very kind and informative. The office space was nice and clean. Also, all of the staff I encountered were great. I highly recommend and cant wait to come back!
Had an excellent deep tissue massage to work out some very tight and uncomfortable muscles. Caitlin used just the right amount of pressure to relieve the knots. This is my second visit there and first time with Caitlin. I would definitely go back to see her again!
Nice and friendly staff. Great massage for my shoulder and back issues. Hot stones felt great and is recommended. Got a table shower and walked out feeling refreshed. Prices seem on par. Great place where I will be going back Thanks !!
I’m disappointed with how the therapist addressed my needs. I specifically requested only a couple focus areas of my body to be treated on and that I didn’t want a full body massage. She had the audacity to tell me that we’re going to do a full body massage anyway. I should’ve kept refusing, but as a trauma victim, this triggered me, and so I shutdown and faked it till I made it. The massage itself was not deep tissue and there was one stretch where it felt like my collarbone was being pressed on too hard. My neck was also worked on for maybe two minutes which was one of my prime issues. And I know communication is key but I just froze the whole time because once again I had no control of my body. Another thing is they only use coconut oil, so I’m not sure how they would address someone who was allergic to it. I do know of a therapist named Payton who works here and I would highly recommend her! Overall, I’m not trying to bash the therapist I had, but the client’s needs should come first over what the therapist thinks is better. Pros: The staff itself was very welcoming and the inside was very pretty and relaxing.
Carpe Diem was able to fit me in for a spur-of-the-moment same-day massage. The office itself was a beautiful, quiet, relaxing space that I settled into immediately. Payton was my therapist and was wonderful: she listened to my complaints and anticipated my needs. She was confident enough to dig deep into my tissue to address the problems, yet never caused me pain. 10/10. Would come back next week.
Awesome boutique massage place! Had an amazing first experience with my wife to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Super friendly staff and as a anniversary treat they offered us a glass of complimentary wine after our massage to enjoy in their relaxation lounge.
One of the best massages that I have ever received. Caitlyn really took her time to address the issues that I was having with my lower back. Would recommend a 1000x over. 😊 Very peaceful and lovely staff.
Kelly is amazing! After an hour long Swedish massage with the add on of hot stones I was in utter bliss! Absolutely the best gift you can give yourself.
Kelly was amazing! Excellent customer service before, during, and after my massage. I even arrived 10 mins late and still received my full 60 minute massage (which most places do not do). Highly recommend the aromatherapy massage! Relaxation heaven!
We did a couples massage in the newly expanded portion of the building. We loved the set up and ambiance. As always, staff was profressional and courteous. Of course we will be going back!
Absolutely love this place! Everything is amazing from the historic rooms and decor to the massages and facials. I just tried the Carpe Diem Signature Facial and it was amazing. I decided to add a 30 mn massage prior to and I feel so relaxed and my skin is glowing.
Outstanding service and wonderful message. My wife and I had the same masseuse and we both got what we like. Im medium firm, and she as she puts it is a firm believer that if it doesnt hurt its not worth it. Location was a little difficult to find but once we did I liked its tucked away quantness. Overall two thumbs up!
I scheduled a massage with Payton and she was amazing and very professional! I’m definitely coming back and recommending her to everyone!
Beautiful space. I love the vision for bringing community together with local art and offerring unique touches like meditation and yoga nidra. The massage rooms are set up so cool too. Love the building and cozy vibe. Friendly staff. This space is doing some really great things in Tacoma.
I honestly cannot rant and rave enough about this business!! I am 100% satisfied each and every time I leave! I have been getting massages for at least a decade on a regular basis and have never found such a great bunch of massage therapist. I personally see a man name Richard on a consistent basis for prenatal massages, and let me tell you I don’t know how I would get through the months of pregnancy aches and pains without this man. My boyfriend and I have seen a multitude of therapist there and I think they’re all great they all have their own strengths and skills personally Richard is my all-time favorite! I highly recommend this place to anyone in pain or just need a day of relaxation personally I love the fact that they have a cut out table so that I can lay face down and relax even at eight months pregnant!!You won’t be disappointed and you’ll be Wanting to reschedule right away!
Great place!! Good staff, clean environment, and extremely professional. I go as often as I can, sport massage has helped my shoulder injury a great deal.
Got a gift card for Christmas and it was amazing! Had a maternity massage and feel comfortable the whole time. Only flaw is parking but it out weighs the experience.
This is a gem of a massage place. The setting is a quaint little house, it is very nicely decorated and the ambiance was relaxing, the staff was friendly and competent, and my and my partners massage therapists were amazing. I highly recommend Carpe Diem Massage.
Man if you want a good massage this is the place to go I mean she was awesome I never felt better in my life Ive been to other place that she was the greatest I will be going back
Love this place. People are wonderful, great vibe, calming and relaxing.
Wonderful staff. Great place to get a massage.
I love this place. They accept my insurance so I only pay my $20 deductible. Update: Dianne has really helped me. My left leg has been so messed up over the past few months that Ive been walking with a limp. Ive seen Dianne twice now and my leg is doing so much better. Going back again this Saturday. Highly recommended.
The first time, amazing. second time, awful. complete 180° from the first experience. just like any service industry place, not everyone working is equal. im a senior colorist/barber and you can always tell when someone is actually passionate about what they do versus this is a job. i keep wanting to give this place another try, but i am terrified to get another awful experience...
Best massage Ive ever had. I will be returning regularly. Renee does a complete, full body, joint movement, deep tissue massage that is unforgettable. My girlfriend hadChristy, whom she says was just as amazing and thorough.
Both times I have been here I had a great experience. Recently went in for a prenatal massage with Christy and it was bliss! Wonderful place!
I have nothing but glowing things to say about this place. However this last experience was truly above and beyond. I booked a same day appointment online for later that evening. Upon arriving, the staff informed me that the therapist I booked w/ was out with the flu HOWEVER the owner Christy kindly stepped in to do the massage. Excellent customer service and obviously an owner who cares about her clients and business practices. Then the massage that she gave me was deep and detail oriented in the problem areas. I cannot wait to book my next massage here knowing Ill get excellent service, a wonderful massage, and be supporting a local business owned by people who truly care for their customers.
Loved my massage so much! My husband bought this massage for me. Much appreciated!
For my first one ever, this was a great experience and I am already looking forward to my next one already.
Booked an appointment two weeks in advance for a Valentine’s Day date. Booked a hotel nearby in Tacoma and decided to make a day of it. They called 3 hours ahead of our massage and said they were not staffed to be able to do our massage and we could reschedule. Ruined my day and wasted my time. Got a hotel there for no reason. Terrible customer service
I always feel better after an hour session. Like a million dollars better.
I try to go twice a month for a 30 minute deep tissue massage. Catalyst and Shainelle have magical hands.
Convenient, booked thru mindbody app ease of use. Very good deep tissue, I will be drinking a lot of water....
Love the massage and the expansion they made to the upper level for couples massage, very nice!
Cant express enough how great these people are. Great people and great massages. Had 3 so far and already booked for more.
One of the best places to come for a massage. Have been a client for years.
Relaxing and professional, stay away from the chain massage places and support a local business
Always awesome. Christina for a small little woman packs a pretty wild punch..
Poor busines practice. I went to buy my wife a massage for part of her gift so I show up at 3 pm and there closed. There hours were posted to close at 6 pm.
Great Massage, nice atmosphere. I will be back for another season to help with my pain issues.
Love the atmosphere & Claire was an excellent therapist. Left there feeling rejuvenated!!
Very relaxed quiet atmosphere with great massage
