Reviews of Anchor Massage & Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Taylor Caldwell

I had a great massage and a small issue that was posted here. It was resolved in a professional manner, therefore my rating has been increased. Recommend an open discussion with the massage therapist to determine your preferences and concerns.

Best massage therapist in the city. My family and I have been coming here for over 2 year's...the staff are always able to reduce our stress and muscles soreness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a therapeutic massage with Sara today as I had strained my ham-string yesterday due to fatigue. She proposed that I do a more feel-good type of massage w special attention to the tendons that support the hams but not the hams as they are healing. She gave me guidance on how to holistically prevent this type of injury from re-occurring and how to treat it. Thank you bud and congratulations on your new venture! The Japanese mint essential oil is a nice touch;)

Les amis de Saint-Boniface

I highly recommend Offer! He gives strong yet relaxing massage therapy and always takes care of the issue at the core.

Ruth carol Feldman

A most pleasant massage experience with Sara m. Professional environment with top notch experienced massage. Very beautiful environment, meticulous shop, one of the very best in the city. Great location, lots of parking available.

Stephanie MacDonald

Brie gives the best massages! Highly recommend

Mike Donahue-Ostrowski

Hey. Listen. I was just visiting Winnipeg. Coming from Toronto, so I’m accustomed to the competition of massage therapists. I’m a reasonably big dude, 6’3, 210 pounds. Sara Martin was more than capable of bruising the meat on my large frame. She even has great taste in the tunage during the massage. Ludivico Einaudi was an unexpected artistical common ground. They even bill direct to benefit providers. I stayed at the “inn at the forks” and this “anchor massage” is within walking distance. Book your appointment. Unless you don’t want the best value for an amazing massage, in which case well, you are not a smart person. Mike

Great atmosphere as soon as you walk in, its a very unique lobby, where shoes are asked to be left at the front. Gives it a very cozy feeling right off the bat. They have local art on the walls for sale which gives it a nice vibe. The reception and therapist staff I met are all very friendly, and extremely helpful. They were very professional, respectful and able to answer any questions and concerns I had. Before I showed up for my first massage here, I had pretty bad neck and back tension. After the first session it was almost gone. After my second session, it felt even better. The masseuse went above and beyond, and gave me good advice after the sessions and showed me some stretches to help relieve the tension between massages. Would recommend if you're looking to feel relaxed.

Stephanie Rechik

Easy process as a new client, great adherence to Covid protocols, secretary was very friendly and personable. RMT (Andrew Laird) was professional and good. Rebooked.

Steve Kuzyk

I work in the area and figured I would try Anchor for myself. Honestly the best massage I’ve ever had. I went to Kuban. He will take the time to do a proper assessment and has your best interests in mind. I have never been so relaxed and I left truly rejuvenated and ache free. I find with other massage therapists I’ve gone to I am left sore or the massage is painful. This was not the case and I had the perfect amount of pressure used. Highly recommend.

Kevin Lund

Beautiful space in the neighborhood, outstanding service.

Rebecca Hadfield

I can't say enough about Taliah - she's wonderful.

Ryan Klann

Great people providing great services

Sheridel Faderon

I used to work in the area and thought I’d try out Anchor Massage when they were still pretty new. I was really impressed and even got my husband hooked. We’ve been going to Anchor for over a year now. I no longer work in the area but it is worth the drive. Parking can be a bit tricky sometimes, so plan accordingly for time for parking. The receptionists are very professional and polite! I've been a client of Taliah, Raylee, and Sara. They are all wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, and provide assessments and at-home tips for getting through an injury. Love this place!

Mona Moquin

I love it here. I have been coming to Anchor Massage since the beginning of the business. They are friendly and professional. I have never been disappointed. The location is beautiful, the service is wonderful and the environnement is clean and welcoming. Love it! Thank you for your service!

Bre Peters

I've been seeing Raylee. She has been a fantastic massage therapist. The location is clean and bright. There does not appear to be designated parking, which can be a pain during weekday hours, so plan accordingly.

Punk5Rock

The environment is quite calming from the moment you walk in. It's professional yet comfortable. I've only been massaged by Sara Martin, the owner. She is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. When I've interacted with other staff they were very friendly and welcoming, as well. I've been a client with Anchor Massage Therapy since before it changed ownership, and I can honestly say the customer service has greatly increased. I enjoy the convenience of booking online, as well as with the Mind Body app. All in all, I always recommend Anchor Massage to my friends and family. It's a great business.

Yernazar Onggarbek

Great place. All of the staff members are experts and actually care to get you better.

Lori Blondeau

I would have to say one of the best massages I have had...I would recommend if you are looking for a place to go and massaged it would be here...Sara Martin is great! I am going back!

Mark Draper

4 stars because I never give 5 unless I'm eating at Carbone's. I've always had great service at Anchor. The location is good although peak time parking can be tricky. My go to massage therapy location in Winnipeg.

mats sawatsky

best massage experience ever-seek no further

Kate U

I’ve now had two massages with Sara, and they’ve been the best massages I’ve ever had. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and by the time the massage is over you feel amazingly relaxed. Plus she is super rad and has great music taste.

Devon Martin

Knowledgeable staff who were able to accommodate me last minute. James allieviated my sore neck, explained what I was doing to aggravate it, and printed out some stretches I could do to prevent the cycle of injury.

Elena B

Really nice place with friendly staff

Carter Hanke

I work as a Product Advisor for McPhillips Toyota, so a big chunk of my workday is prospecting new clients and following up with existing clients via email and telephone. Lots of sitting, perhaps too much at times, however Adrielle Parlee has been excellent these last few months to help relieve stress and also strategically target tense muscle groups. I strongly recommend Waterfront Massage Therapy to any Winnipeger seeking a calm environment in a beautiful location with remarkable customer service!

Nicolette

I started coming to Anchor Massage Therapy in December 2020. I had been going through a lot of stress/anxiety that started to affect me physically. I am so glad I came here. I have been seeing Julia and she is the greatest. It is a clean place and they are very professional too. Currently, the physical effects from stress/anxiety have subsided and I am in such a good place mentally. I am happy :) Thank you Anchor Massage Therapy. Thank you Julia :)

Mark Abejuela

Always enjoy coming here! Great service and staff!

Sir Toews

-Poor reception service -Masseuse didn't know what he was doing, Marlowe. -He talked quite often, about the universe and stuff finding it's path etc... kind of annoying. -I'm a training athlete and he focused on my legs the whole massage and then said he ran out of time for the areas I actually pointed to that I had concerns with.

R

Have had great experiences here seeing Caitlin for prenatal massages. Will definitely return when I am able!

Michelle Palansky

Good facility and great services. A gem of a find for those of us who work in the Exchange District.

Sheri McKinstry

I followed Natasha N. to Anchor Massage Therapy... always an amazing assessment and treatment experience. Highly recommended!!! ❤️????????

Stacey Ingram

I've been there a few times to meet with Adrielle. Very polite and professional, she always asks me where any trouble spots are that I'd like her to focus on, and I always come out feeling great! The receptionist is pleasant as well, I feel very welcome there :)

James Rogers

I have been seeing the massage therapists at Waterfront Massage from the time they opened their doors. The reception staff has generally been excellent; with any inconvenience quickly corrected. Monique and Adrielle have seemingly magical hands and always give helpful after care advice. I cannot recommend Waterfront Massage enough!

Scott Jiggins

Sarah is amazing.

Félicia Martin-Ilunga

I was definitely having a bad day before my massage, but as usual Anchor really turned that around! Great way to relieve stress and finish my day off right.

Ashley Kowalchuk

The bedding for the massage table was greasy/grimy which was a huge turn off. I'm not a germaphobe, but it was really gross and I considered leaving. The massage was fine although I would have preferred deeper pressure.

Matthew Wood

I recently saw Taliah for a deep tissue massage and was impressed with the level of intuition. Not only did we work on relieving stress but also increasing my upper body mobility which I had not experienced with an RMT before. The practice is comforting and I plan to be back soon.

Jeremy Loewen

I was there over a year ago I went 3 times and all three times I paid for an hour and only got 50 min. Also the front desk is not very welcoming so this is the reason I do not go there anymore. If you pay for 60 min you should get 60 min and welcome the ppl that come to your biz to give you money and looking for help.

Callie Hill

Great massages at reasonable prices

Stefan Melnychenko

Good Massage Therapy! Not the best I have ever had however that could just be personal preference.

Wayne Sandler

Generally pleasant experiences so far. Ashton does a great job. Fantastic location near the park and river. My new regular place! Ashton is now at New Leaf Massage in Osborne Village.

japneet singh

They don't directly charge the insurance company. First they will tell you that they will charge the insurance company directly but upon arrival, they will ask you to pay for it. Totally wastage of time.

Amanda Flaman

Reception has no idea what they are doing. Consistently booked at the wrong time or day than what was written on my cards, Never received promised reminders. Therapists will just walk on by while you're in the waiting room, not even a smile on their faces or a pleasant hello. Poor customer service. The only good part about this practice is Marlowe. I works wonders with my shoulder & back pain. Sadly will continue elsewhere due to poor service from the front.

T H

If you want a good deep tissue, Daryl is ya boi ???????????? Caitlin is also super great! I've been to a lot of massage places and this is the best one I've found so far. The owner Sara is very knowledgeable and highly skilled. Love it here!

Kelley Rooney

Knowledge and skilled.

Shivender Singh

Good massage.

Erin Green

The place didn't feel very spa-like. When my masseuse introduced themselves it was not very personable. They gave me a stare and made it uncomfortable. Didn't even shake my hand. The masseuse didn't ask which body part I wanted done so I left there in the same state I came in just a lighter wallet. The music wasn't very relaxing either. The masseuse started 15 minutes late so I only got a 45 minute massage which is ridiculous. My legs were massaged for about a half hour of that time when I needed my neck and back focused on. This was an awkward experience and I don't recommend it if you want a relaxing massage. Oh and you have to pay for parking.

Admin wapso

Fantastic place! I've been getting massages from Natasha Newman for several months now. She has worked wonders for me, in terms of pain relief, she makes you feel very comfortable, and she is lovely to talk to. Thanks Natasha!

Dano Martinot

Called and cancelled a day before my massage told me to rebook, I did I checked my appointment on their website an hou before said confirmed, when I show up they lied and say they've been calling me all yesterday. When I show the trashy front desk girl, my call log she says we emailed. They emailed my work email after 3pm the day before my 11am appointment. The front desk girl was rude, abrupt, and offers no apology. when I said I wouldn't be back she said "oh well". I guess they don't need clients. Unprofessional.

Paul Marks

The best therapist in Winnipeg - Taliah. Very profesional. During and after massage you will feel soooo good! Check it out, you will not regret it !!

Suz Thiessen

I wanted to drop a note, thanking Chantal for tackling my compound injury which has caused major de-conditioning. Chantal was very understanding and considerate through the deep tissue massage. It was such a calming atmosphere. I really appreciate, Chantal providing me with stretches for after care. These are really helping me, to get back to myself. This has been a slow process, but again I want to thank Chantal for helping me to step forward. I, highly recommend Chantal and will be coming back.

Garry Watson

Clean, professional, top notch experience.

Pawel Siciarz

I wanted to make an appointment for two people at the earliest time... they said only March 2 (almost 3 weeks waiting ... its not a problem here). I replied - March ? And she cut the conversation immediately - o no ? Have a nice day ... thank you - plus ignoring tone and attitude. So rude ! Quick basic communication lesson: next time (for someone else of course) try: We apologize but we do not have any fee spots before that time. We are sorry but its the earliest available date. It seems that they have good therapists but terrible front desk !

pat spidle

Great experienced staff

Jocelyn Brooker

Beautiful space, friendly staff, and the 45 min deep tissue treatment by Raylee was fantastic! Best deep tissue treatment I've ever recieved! Will definitely rebook!

Paul Gomori

I have been very happy with the service and quality at Anchor Massage each time I go. They spend the time to understand what is needed and the deep tissue massage is excellent. I would highly recommend Anchor Massage.

William Ellierda

I booked a couples massage at Waterfront as an anniversary gift for my partner, who was currently pregnant. The receptionist was very helpful and explained how my wife could still have and enjoy a massage while pregnant and answered all of questions. We arrived and the clinic is in a beautiful area and very nice inside, we were very early and were offered water and they had the best magazine selection of any waiting room I have ever been in. The massage room was very nice and the therapist who treated my wife was comfortable and made her feel very secure with the process. The girl who treated me found all my knots and a few I didn't know I had. We both felt like limp noodles afterwards. We were also able to direct bill our appointments, which made the whole process painless! I would highly recommend them and we will be back!

Zacharie Phillips

I very muched enjoyed the attention to detail when adjusting various parts of my body and stretching or messaging based on what’s needed thank you ????

Maria Dechevykh

Highly recommend anchor massage! I have been a return client for 3 + years! Sara is highly skilled and professional!

Chantale Vaillancourt

Extremely accommodating. Offer is the best massage therapist I've had.

Riya Ganguly

Amazing service. Monique is the best. This is by far the best place in the city to get a massage.

JoAnne Martin

I am always happy to support local small businesses, especially ones owned by women. I have always felt welcomed, safe and comfortable around the staff. They are dynamic and very knowledgeable. I work in the health care field and always recommend them to co workers.

Pablo Riedel

10/10 business! Highly recommended!

Ellen s

Sara and her team are wonderful! Always great quality massage, beautiful and clean space, prime downtown location, and easy to use online booking service. Highly recommend!

Jayme Contant

Anchor came highly recommended to me by friends and family. It is welcoming, professional, and extremely knowledgable! The second you walk in you feel instantly comfortable with the staff and in the space itself. I highly recommend!!

Tasheka&Tekesai Manyande

The massage therapist was friendly and polite (which was the only thing I enjoyed about my experience) but girl at the front desk was very impolite and RUDE. With such attitude she shouldn't be at a front desk. A receptionist is the face of a business and hence that person needs to be trained & educated as to how to be polite to customers, especially when a customer is friendly. It irritates me so much when poor service is given. Also, I got there 5 minutes before my 60 minutes appointment and was given a ton load of paper work to complete, went to the room at 10:10 and got only 40 minutes of massage. Would not recommend.

Char Gods

Knowledgable and friendly staff, super clean shop, great vibe and had an amazing massage !

Massage Therapy

Wrost RMT massage ever! I had a 90 minute massage , which really was only 70 minutes. I was early for my appointment, started 15 minutes late and ended before my actually time was up. Rude customer service. Overpriced, no parking, I would not recommend this massage centre to anyone.

Mike C

Monique is an excellent therapist. She is very skilled in her craft, and takes genuine interest in your well being. She helped me understand the source of my pain and gave me great massages both therapeutic and preventative! All the clinic has a great vibe. You feel the calm as soon as you go in.

Nancy Felbel

Sara M. is professional and knowledgeable. You will be able to treat injuries or if relaxation is in order ; either way you will be pleased!

stephanie dupuis

my massage therapist Taliah was amazing, to die for! I have shoulders problem and she press exactly where it felt amazing for the whole hour! She used an awesome mint oil ! everything was amazing! the service and the price were great too!

harjeet dhaliwal

Doing really great..

Richard Ang

We booked a couple of days ahead for a 90 min. massage and it's our first time with both therapists Sara and Marlowe. They ran through which area or body part that needs attention, pressure was strong and consistent the entire time. Sara went above and beyond by showing stretching techniques and pointers one can perform at work. The place is simple and adequate and it's always so relaxing to be there! Monique and Adrielle keep up the good work!

Meagan Masterton

I recently had my first massage at Anchor and I had a lovely experience! Anchor is cozy and warm when you walk through the door. They have a great lounge like area to wait in and the location is nice and central on waterfront. What made my experience though was Natasha Newman. I followed Natasha to Anchor because she has a very caring approach with her clients. The first time I had a massage with her she talked through the issues I was experiencing and then explained what she thought was the source of the problem, what muscles were affected, and what she was going to do to resolve the problem. She cares about her clients and makes sure they leave feeling way better than when they came in. Thanks again for making me feel like a million bucks Natasha and I will see you soon!

Angel Joy

I had a wonderful experience here! The clinic was lovely and very welcoming, there is a lovely park across the street to take a stroll in afterwards. The treatment was thorough and the therapist attentive to my needs and kept me informed as well as let me know of things I could work on to improved my shoulders and headaches. I also love the online booking option! I highly recommend Waterfront and am looking forward to my next treatment!

aryan mak

Very unorganized place and not updated at all. Waste of time has to go there several times but they don't provide you enough information. Yes also the receptionist is super rude , impolite. I would not recommend anyone to go there. It's a waste of money and time specially

Daina Warren

Anchor Massage is amazing! And its therapists are extremely knowledgeable, incredibly polite professionalism, and I always feel completely rejuvenated after a treatment! Plus they support the arts by showing great artists in their reception and treatment rooms, and they take part in First Fridays in the Exchange. They are a great team, phone them today and make an appointment!!

A Ing

Simple decor but with great service. Very accommodating and conveniently located on Waterfront and walking distance from downtown core. Direct bills to my insurance and they also allow you to book online via their website.

Natasha Byrne

Been twice and will be sure to be back again as it is very close to home & work. Comfortable and relaxing experience. Nice ambience. The massage therapists are particularly concerned about critical upper body parts that should be focussed on. The only disappointing part of both experiences is leaving little time for the foot massage which has been initially emphasized to focus on (being a server and on foot 8 hours a day). Otherwise, it’s my go-to massage spot considering the convenience and overall good experience.

RYAN JEANSON

Friendly staff. Clean Welcoming atmosphere Tricky parking Taliah k is awesome

John Vogan

Great vibe, great RMT’s, great record selection
