Client Testimonials

  • A young woman with black hair and blue eyes standing outdoors in front of green foliage, wearing a black T-shirt and smiling softly.

    Jaylene is so professional! She is so calming and knowledgeable, she helped me pick out a couple different products to use that would help my skin! Her hands are soft on the face, not too much pressure, but effective. You can really tell that she cares about her client’s experience. And the massage techniques are unmatched! I recommend Jaylene to everyone who wants a facial at August Moon Spa!

    Rachel was very through and helped me with my arthritic legs. She was also magical with the cupping on my back.

  • A man with a beard and dark hair standing outdoors with a blurred background of trees and grass.

    This was another excellent experience with Garth! I especially appreciate the time he takes to incorporate skills and strategies that have helped in prior appointments. For example, he remembers to start with my feet and to use heat in such an effective way to really create a safe and healing place. Thank you so much!

    If I had a choice of 10 stars I would use them all. Rebekah actually gave me a treatment the first time I can to August Moon 2 years ago. We both remembered each other! Everything she did made me feel calm, relaxed and on my way to healing. I want her again when I come back! And I learned to always boom a 90 min. treatment. Thank you Rebekah!
