The Whole You Spa: Massage, Facials, Acupuncture, Riverdale, Bronx Ny

I can never tell enough people about our neighborhood gem. You get much more service for your money at Whole You because you aren't paying extra for the spa-ambiance, which just isn't necessary. There's a more clinical feel like you are there for your overall health rather the fluff of some spas. They are serious about your well being. The other thing I like is it doesn't matter who is available for your appt because you can't go wrong. Everyone is trained incredibly well and I've never been disappointed. It's important to someone with an unpredictable schedule like me who never is able to make appts in advance. I have only done the massages (medicinal, deep tissue) and facials. All are excellent! more

If you wanna drive all your friends crazy because you'll look at least 10 years younger, go to TATIaNA at Whole You Spa and do anti-aging facial !!! You'll feel what Julia Roberts feels when she's going red carpet - your face is glowing, your skin is breathing, your eyes are sparkling and there is no worry thoughts about age and wrinkles. TATIaNA's hands will take care of it all. Any of her facials are simply amazing, but anti-wrinkle one is what one should experience for sure. Plus she gives good advices for how to maintain your skin, and which products can help your type of skin to maintain it the best. Pros: BEST ANTI-AGING MASSAGE Cons: wish it were closer more

Like a lot of people, I've got a pretty bad back but having gone here several times I see a noticeable improvement in mobility and much less pain on a daily basis. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the massage therapists are very knowledgeable. They will tell you how to stretch at home and what to do to decrease the likelihood of pain in your respective area. Can't wait to come back! Pros: Great service, effective treatment, clean environment more

For years, I’ve been hearing great things about the miracle workers in Whole You Spa from my brother-in-law who lives in Calif. So I went to check it out. I have a herniated disc condition from working on a computer. I was amazed how knowledgeable and tentative the way they treated me, I didn’t just get a great message, I was getting a medical consultation, explanation of how and why my condition is what it is and what to do about it. No wonder why my brother-in-law would make his first stop here religiously whenever he could on his business trips to NY. I’ll definitely go back there. more

I got a gift certificate for xmas to get a hot stone massage. I just had the massage a week ago. I was a little nervous cuz I don't usually like heat and a friend of mine said she got a hot stone massage once at another place and the heat was just too much. The massage I got was really great and the heat turned out to be my favorite part. I booked another appt before I left. Pros: Great Massages Cons: None more

I had been wanting to get a massage for quite some time but because of my schedule, it was not convenient. I work full time and go to school. The lecture classes are murder and I have to sit for 4 hours at a time. Needless to say I have alot of discomfort in my back muscles and shoulders. I googled massage in the bronx and found The Whole You Spa. It appeared that they offered both medical and regular spa massages. I booked a relaxation massage cause I just felt that I needed to wind down. The massage was excellent but didnt address my needs. Funny enough, my therapist said that she found several areas of tightness that needed to be addressed and she suggested that I come back in for a deeper and more medical type of massage. Because I enjoyed the massage and because I felt I needed it, I booked another. The next massage I had she put hot packs and then started on my back. It was deep and I could feel her working the spots that really hurt me. Afterward, I felt so much better. She then gave me stretches to do, which I appreciated. I don't go for massage often, but I will definitely go back there again. I got the best of both worlds. Great relaxation and great medical attention. The only downside to the spa....is that the rooms are not soundproof. Pros: Knowledgable & friendly staff Cons: No soundproofing more

This is a great place to go to if you are suffering from back pain. After the first massage I felt much better. I have already signed up for a follow-up and my mom signed up as well. Pros: Well-educated massage therapists Cons: - more

My wife gave me a gift certificate to this spa for my birthday, which was a few weeks ago. I never had a massage before and didn't know what to expect. When I got there I was greeted by a very friendly person at the frond desk, Willa. She gave me an intake form to fill out and within a few minutes after I was done filling out the form I was asked to come in. The massage therapist, Roxanne, first put some heat pads on my back to melt my muscles. Then the massage started. Roxanne knew every muscle and was very informative. She used a gel called Biofreeze to help eliminate inflamation. I picked up a sample pack at the front desk when I was done. When I walked out of the room I immediately felt great. I felt like I got taller. My back didn't hurt anymore. It was pretty amazing. I hope I get a gift certificate to this place for every holiday! Pros: Informative, skilled, friendly staff Cons: - more

I got my first massage at this spa today and I loved it! It was better than the massages I had at other local places. The massage therapist had strong hands and definitely knew what he was doing. I will return for another massage soon. Pros: 5 minute walk from home Cons: None more

First off, i find it very annoying when places write their own reviews. I mean do they really thing we wouldn't notice. You could tell every review was written by the same person a couple days apart. Shady practices!!!! I went in for a facial and it was a total waste of money. I specially asked to have my pores be cleaned out on my nose to get rid of blackheads. I could have done a better job with Biore strips. While I was getting my facial, I could hear the staff goofing off and be loud and laughing. I thought it was very unprofessional since spas are supposed to be calm and relaxing. The definitely won't see me again!!!!!!! I do a lot of business in the area and will make sure to steer my clients away from this place. Pros: Close to my apt Cons: Everything else more

Hands down the best spa I have been to! Fabulous massages and facials! The staff is well educated and friendly. more

I have been getting massages my whole life. When my massage therapist was out sick at another place I usually go to I decided to give this place a try. I scheduled my massage with Carlos and this was my best massage ever! It's too bad I didn't try this place before, but better late than never... more

I was suffering from back pain for almost a whole month prior to my visit to the Whole You Spa. I knew it wouldn't take 1 treatment to make the pain go away, but it almost did. I had 80% less pain after the first "back on table" (it's a 40 minute treatment focused on the back). And, after my 3rd treatment the back pain was gone! Thank you Mila, Willa and the wonderful Massage Therapists! Now that the pain is gone I might stop by for a facial. Pros: No more back pain! more

I found out about this spa from a local paper, Riverdale Review. They had some great discounts for first-time clients. I was very surprised with a low cost of the services, massages especially. I felt guilty using a coupon for an already inexpensive massage. My massage was excellent. I was completely relaxed and free from my usual back pain after the treatment. I already scheduled a treatment for next week. Thanks! Pros: Inexpensive, great service more

I was so surprised I was able to get an appointment at this spa on such short notice. And to top it off, I was able to use a coupon for my facial treatment which was great! The spa was nice and clean and quiet, friendly reception, very relaxing once you walk in the treatment room. My aesthetician was very good. She was very thorough and gave good recommendations. I liked that she didn't try to sell me any products but simply gave her advice on what to use and/or do. I definitely enjoyed the service and would go back again. Pros: service Cons: none more

It's amazing that I must have walked by this place a million times since my bank is on the corner of W238 and Riverdale Ave. I was introduced to The Whole You Spa by a friend who treated me to a massage a few months ago and now I get my massage once a week. I tried a couple different massage therapists and everyone is great! I already recommended this place to my friends. more

I went in for my third Acupuncture treatment yesterday. The Acupuncturist, Mr. Gregory Kuperman is a very well-educated professional, who was a doctor in Russia. I saw improvement in my condition after my very first treatment. After my third treatment I am 50% better! I would highly recommend trying Acupuncture at The Whole You Spa. Pros: Location more

I was a regular at the whole you spa for many years, but moved to LI in 2006. Unfortunately, I could not find better massages and facials closer to my house so I still visit the whole you spa for my monthly massage and facial. It is worth the trip from LI! more

I have been to The Whole You Spa several times and I enjoyed every massage I had. My back does not hurt anymore and I sleep better at night. The staff at this spa is friendly and knowledgeable. Pros: Licensed and knowledgeable Massage Therapists Cons: None more
