Not sure what happened to this place. Bad massage, and an awful experience.
My fiancé and I went to One Wellness last year for my birthday and had the BEST day. I still stand by that Chris is one of the best massage therapists i’ve ever seen.
However, today’s experience has lead me to never want to go back. We booked massages online with recovery room, got an email the day before that our appointments were changed from 10:00 to 10:15 which was fine. We checked in at the front desk at 10:00, telling the receptionist both of our appointments were at 10:15. She never corrected us as apparently only one of our appointments changed to 10:15 and the other was *actually* at 10:00. We hit the sauna a few minutes before our massage, came to the general waiting area to find my massage therapist (Debbie) telling me it’ll have to be cut short. Which was fine I guess our mistake, even though reception never mentioned this at check-in.
Then proceeds probably one of the worst massages i’ve ever had (if you can call it that), inconsistent pressure and didn’t actually get any knots out of my back. I left with the biggest headache that I still haven’t been able to kick.
All while this was happening my fiancé was in the downstairs waiting area, after 8 minutes of waiting with no one coming to find him for his massage he had to go up to reception asking what was going on. They told him his massage therapist wasn’t even there yet and that she was running 30 minutes late!! Extremely unprofessional on not only the RMT’s end but the front desk as well. They tried to offer just a 1hr massage but he decided to then just cancel it because he didn’t want me waiting upwards of 45 minutes so we could enjoy the recovery room together.
Extremely disappointed by our experience here today. They still charged me for a 90 minute massage. At least they took off the recovery room cost for both of us but, looking at my bill the total still doesn’t add up for a 90 minute massage. Was a lousy way to spend my birthday when it should have been relaxing, it was frustrating and I left with a headache. Won’t be back, will go to kananaskis spa instead next time.
