Therapeutic massage improves circulation, joint range-of-motion and flexibility. It reduces many common ailments, such as stress, muscle tightness, aches and pains - even anxiety and depression. But most importantly, massage helps you achieve and maintain optimum health. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an energy-based therapy that relaxes the body, promotes self healing, encourages emotional release, and offers pain relief.
It supports physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. Skin care is vital because it's the largest organ of the body. Skin care at Aaduri is essentially a multi-step skin treatment that is one of the best ways to take care of your skin. A facial cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion, and can help your skin look younger.

I have been getting regular massages with Ms. Shari every 2-4 weeks since July 2020. She has always provided excellent service from start to finish of my appointment. She is very knowledgeable, personable, and kind. She pays close attention to her clients needs and how there body responds to treatment. She remembers and anticipates my needs at every appointment. I couldn't ask for a better masseur. Please visit her you will not be disappointed.

As a type A-ish personality who loves to be in control of her surroundings most of the time I found my experience at Aaduri to be spectacular! I went in a little uptight (not having a massage in a few years) and left completely relaxed. Ellen was professional and positive always checking in with me to see if I was comfortable. Also got a chance to speak with the owner and she walked me through the entire process. Most definitely going back, highly recommended. Treat yourself!

I attend classes that helps with control breathing and promoting a healthier way of life when I met Ellen, she mentioned this business and spoke about customers and their body types often. I wasn’t going to write a review initially, but every time we come to this event to she continues to bad mouth the owner, making comments about her “unkempt dreads”. She often discusses how the customers tend to be over weight slobs with back issues already from their unhealthy lifestyles. I haven’t been to this establishment personally, as I live off near Taylor Avenue (not to far), but I wouldn’t

I met Shari at a previous position with a chiropractor. I had always felt weird about being "naked" with a stranger touching me! She was providing chair massages for 10 min each and offered to let me try it. I always loved her demeanor and working with her. The chair massage convinced me to give a table massage a try! Since I have been to Aaduri Healing Arts, LLC, 5 or 6 years ago, I have remained a monthly client. I was educated on the benefits of massage, and while I didn't have any particular ailments, I became a monthly client quickly. I use massage as a form of preventative

I had a bad massage experience with a massage therapist who I will refer to as "E." Her repeated comments about my tightness (I lost count of how many times she mentioned how tight I was) made me feel self-conscious about my body. She even asked if I had been in an accident and when I replied no, she seem not to believe me. It got so bad that she eventually noticed I was getting upset and asked me what was wrong. I explained to her that her comments were not helpful and that I am very aware of how tight I am...this is why I came for a massage. She then replied: "sorry, I won&apos

I've been seeing Shari' here for about a year and a half after dealing with shoulder pain from being rear ended. She is absolutely incredible and really understands how the body works. She teaches about massages as holistic health instead of a luxury, and is great with telling you which areas of your body have stored up tension. She makes sure you are okay throughout. I generally don't even like being touched, but am always comfortable to the point of being half asleep during my massage. The building is cozy and tranquil, but small enough that you will miss it if you aren't

Went for a "Deep Tissue" massage with Linda. Terrible experience. The massage was nowhere near the intensity I wanted. If REAL deep tissue massge is a 10 on a scale of 1-10, this was a 2.....maybe, Top that off with the fact that she was sick and I had to listen to constant, lets just call it nasal fluid congestion, for the entire 90mins. I don't begrudge someone for being sick but at least let me know or call to reschedule. Would not recommend, would not go back,

I love Linda! Her hands are magical! Very small quaint studio. I called on a whim and spoke to Linda. I informed her of a medical condition that I suffer from. She was very familiar and wanted to do a little more research to prepare for my visit, so she asked me to come in a week later! Cool! She customized a massage for me that left me feeling like a jellyfish afterwards. I like her warmth and willingness to work with me. She is very personable yet professional.
Can't wait until my next visit!

My dad found this place and saw Vanessa. He was so impressed that he bought me a gift certificate so I could come here. Finally I found the time on a Saturday. It was so easy to make an appointment and Vanessa was amazing! I love that she took the time to talk to me before the appointment began and had me pick out an aromatherapy scent. The massage was magical too! After the massage she even showed me some stretches to do in the morning. I can't wait to go back!

Vanessa at Aaduri may have given me the best massage I've ever had. I get regular massages and over the years and have tried a number of practitioners, so I know what to expect. Vanesa is very professional, knows her stuff and talks you through everything. She knows just what pressure and where to apply it. The $70 90-minute massage introductory offer is a great deal.

THOROUGHLY pleased with my massage here. I purchased a deal last year but wound up having surgery so had to delay cashing in on my deal by a few months. I sent an email to the owner (Kim) and she contacted me back immediately and was knowledgeable about the amount of time to wait before having a massage after the type of surgery I had.
If you're not familiar with the area you'll miss it so just look for the McDonald's at the intersection of Harford Rd & Moravia and park in the parking lot immediately to the left of the McDonald's lot. The building right next to it houses

Groupon had a deal, as they always do and I decided I should pamper myself. I have to say Kim gives the best massages. I've had a few overseas where the therapist puts everything into it - their whole body and Kim does the exact same thing. When I arrived Kim took the time to sit down with me and ask about my ailments, focus areas and level of intensity that I like in a massage. I liked the fact that Kim was attentive and took the time to find out what I liked prior to starting. Kim is awesome and I definitely plan on going back, in fact I would pay full price!

I had been searching for a massage therapist in the area for a few years! Probably once or twice a year I would do a thorough search all over the internet for a massage place that was nearby - always with so-so results. Either the place didn't look great, or the location wasn't great, or it was questionable - always an issue. Aaduri Healing Arts happened to be running a promotion through a local animal rescue where a portion of a massage would be donated. Being a huge animal activist, and seeing that the location was close, my husband and I decided to give it a try. And we have now
