I was researching spas in the Anna Maria Island area for a spa gift for my sister in law's 60th birthday gift. The family was planning a party for her at their rental house on the island on Oscar Day, Sunday February 10, 2020. After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, i contacted Claire Marie to inquire about sevices as a gift for my sister-in-law. Claire Marie was so accomodating and helpful in making suggestions for the cusotmized three-hour service - and even opened up her spa on a Sunday to accomodate these services. My sister-in-law was so happy with her services, she looked beautiful and refreshed after her facial, massage and haircut. She even received a specialized swag bag to take home of her favorite products used. The timing was perfect as the party prep was underway while she was getting services, Thank-you Claire Marie for helping us select the perfect gift for this special birthday girl!

I found the gym to be very clean, has a wide assortment of equipment and very easy to use. The equipment is older but I found most pieces to be in good working order and there was plenty of machines. The personnel ( Cameron, mostly) were friendly, professional and knew his stuff. I found the rates to be fair and will be coming back.

I saw Jennifer for three massage sessions almost two years ago. I was having chronic hip pain for close to 10 years and had tried physical therapy twice, chiropractic treatments, and various energetic modalities (Touch for Health, etc.) all from very capable, even gifted practitioners. My MRI showed significant lower back structural issues (spondylolisthesis, severe extra-foraminal narrowing, etc.). After my treatments with Jennifer I have had no further pain and can now walk as far as I want without difficulty. I returned for a few more visits this summer. BTW I am 73 years old.

We had stopped at Hurricane Hanks for lunch and this was in the shopping plaza. We walked in and were greeted by someone at the desk who went on to tell us that the artists who display their wares/talent are also those who work in the shop. This keeps their prices down. nice paintings and jewelry as well
