We are lucky in Kitsap to have Isella. No need to trek to the city just to have a little time to yourself to unwind and feel like you really have done so. The staff here are all friendly and professional, the location is in a neat oldish building in a revitalizing downtown area with free parking, the ""waiting"" room (or just more quiet relaxation before or after a treatment) is comfortable and soothing with snacks, drinks, and reads, and they sell Aveda and other products including purses and jewelry by local artisans with NO sales push at all. I love that they run a variety of monthly specials. I've had reflexology a few times which was wonderful and the chair (a Lafuma) was so comfortable--the combo made me fall asleep which is unusual for me during the day. I see Cindy every month or two for a deep tissue massage and she is AMAZING. This is in no way a back rub, something I've experienced from a fair number of other massage therapists. She listens to what it is bothering you or not and delivers. You know how some people's hands were just made for some sort of bodywork? Well, this is Cindy. Plus she is sweet, funny and down-to-earth and talks if you want or is considerate if you'd just like to chill. Love Isella, but if she leaves at some point, I'll probably have to follow for massages. Whether you've never had a massage or relexology etc or you're a veteran, Isella is a great place to take care of yourself. It is not a splurge, it is good for you, put it in your budget.\r

Pros: ambience, parking, service, prices and specials, therapists
Cons: none, just wish I had more $ to spend there
