Great couple's massage

Great Massage

by topdogportland at Citysearch

Was experiencing neck and back pain Friday evening and was looking for place open on the weekend and has space on last minute notice. After reading the reviews I choose Equilibria. I called Friday around 7pm and they quickly had me booked for Saturday. The massage was great and was exactly what I was expecting. I'll be back....

• Pros: Evening and Weekend hours

Very Professional and Friendly!

by foxy82 at Citysearch

I found this place online while looking for an early Valentine's Day couples massage for my boyfriend and me. Their price was great, and they were able to accommodate us when most spas are closed! We had the pleasure of having Lisa and Christie as our massage therapists and I can't say how happy I am at their warm and caring demeanor as well as their friendliness and professionalism at all times. There was no chatting during the massage between them, and they made sure all of our needs/concerns were met and that it was a wonderful personal experience for us. I like the fact that it is more of a private setting rather than your typical full service day spa with tons of people in the waiting rooms. LOL my boyfriend was so relaxed he almost fell asleep on the table. :) It was a wonderful experience and we will more than likely be back again!

• Pros: Professional and Friendly, Good Pricing, Availability
• Cons: Street Parking

Great Acupuncturist

by shandat at Citysearch

I tried acupuncture for the first time following a car accident I was involved in that left me with severe whiplash. I saw a few acupuncturists and had good results, but never had any practitioner show such enthusiasm and dedication to my case until I was treated by Equilibria's Lori Petras. She is always looking for new angles and fresh approaches to my treatment. Lori is very dedicated to continuously furthering her education in oriental medicine and her enthusiasm for acupuncture and its benefits makes her eager to take the extra step to ensure that her patients get real results from their treatments. I have had great results with Lori and would highly recommend her to anyone considering acupuncture. Outside of being an outstanding practitioner, Lori is a warm and caring person who I also now consider a friend.

She should wear a cape

by lolabug at Citysearch

I was completely inexperienced with acupuncture when I went in to see Lori. I had a small fear of needles and was uneducated in all of the benefits it had to offer. Lori was patient and very informative. She has a wonderful bedside manner not to mention sense of humor. Over time the treatment has made a more than noticeable difference, and I find myself visiting her for not only treatments but good conversation. Acupuncture has now become a regular part of my life and overall health routine. I would recommend Lori to anyone that is looking for a rewarding healthy acupuncture experience.

Such Good Acupuncture!

by jmb77 at Citysearch

I've been to a lot of different acupuncturists. Most have been very good. Some not so good. Lori at Equilibria is better than good. I would even have to say outstanding. My reason for seeing her is that I've been struggling with chronic exhaustion for a long time now and it has been getting worse lately. Doctors have said that my adrenals aren't very happy. As I said, I've been to a lot of acupuncturists and what Lori did was similar in many ways but different. She used some Japanese acupuncture techniques that I had never experienced before. After my first session, I felt like I had just had a triple espresso but without all of the agitation. Just a lot of good energy. After my second session, I felt more grounded than I had in a very long time. I'll be going back every week. I wish I could go more often :)

• Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Hours, Location
• Cons: Parking (during certain hours)

Last minute bliss!

by therealpricklypear at Citysearch

I was so happy to get a same-day appointment when I woke up in the worst back pain ever after too much holiday/work stress. Even better, my massage therapist really worked deeply on my knots to go beyond simple relaxation. I felt my mobility returning by the end of my appointment; I also appreciated the tips for simple stretches to try at home/work.

Bad experience

by Becs18 at Citysearch

My husband and I went for a couples massage at Equilibria. The massage itself was not impressive; we each requested deep tissue massage and mine was lighter than a Sweedish massage while my husband experienced himself being jerked around and felt pain rather than deep massage. This was bad enough, but what really upset me (and spurred me to write a review) is that the 2 gals were talking to each other during our couples massage. It was totally unprofessional, not to mention distracting and the opposite of relaxing. I won't go back here for any services.

Excellent Massage

by Soulpt at Citysearch

I 'm a physical therapist and was here from NY to visit my brother. I was already overdue for a massage when I'd overdone it biking around Portland. So I went ahead and got scheduled for a 90' session. I saw Julia and the treatment was very helpful and professional. Whether you live nearby or are visiting I would highly recommend.

• Pros: Professionalism & Skill
• Cons: Parking

Fantastic experience with amazing energy!

by HLPP at Citysearch

I would highly recommend Equilibria to anyone looking for a great deep tissue massage. The staff is very professional and the space is full of relaxing, soothing energy. Tahlia and Jennifer were both very receptive to my back and neck issues and I left the appointments feeling revived and limber again. The accommodating business hours also made it extremely easy to schedule on my behalf. Top notch for massage studios. Equilibria has all the right elements! AJT
