- VTVictoria Turner4 days ago5.0Phil was amazing! I’ve had countless professional massages before and he was right up there amongst the best. The entire crew there is so kind and professional. Thanks Jeremy, Joe, & the girls at the front desk. Can’t wait for my next visit!
- CKClaire Kaiden5 days ago5.0I’ve been going to the Knotstop since 2020, but for the past year I’ve had the membership and have been seeing Renee every month. She is amazing and I almost hesitate to shout her out because I don’t want her to be even more booked out than she already is, but my girl deserves her flowers. Renee has such a calming presence and is incredibly talented! Over the years, I have also seen Katie, Carolina, Kevin, & Haruka for massage and Ozzy for Reiki. I have never had a bad experience with any massage therapist at the KnotStop. Even the front desk staff are so kind and helpful.
- NONicole OchoaFeb 20, 20265.0I had a 90 minute massage with Claudio and didn’t want it to end. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll definitely be back to see him again.
- GTGreg TFeb 14, 20265.0Knot Stop has always been a wonderful place for massages. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. They have a very tiny gift shop, but they do stock it with some very nice items.
- GLGene LeeJan 22, 20265.0My husband got me a giftcard for a 60 minute massage and a facial, so I called last week and booked an appointment for this afternoon for both services. I came here for a 60 minute full body deep tissue massage and had a great massage. At first, they didn't know if it were for 60 or 90 minute massage. Mateo was very warm and friendly and asked if I had areas to focus on or avoid, I told him I'm training for a half marathon and just ran 11 miles 2 days ago, so still feeling some muscle soreness and want to work out the lymphatics and lactic acid, with a heavy pressure, focusing on legs and upper back. He did a wonderful job, and asked if the pressure and spots felt OK. I went to check out and was expecting to get a facial but they told me to come back another time. It was a minor inconvenience, but I think it could have been better communicated prior to the appointment since I called specifically stating I wanted both done. If I were coming from far away or from out of town, I'd be more upset. I tipped Mateo and booked the facial for another date. Parking can be tricky in this area. The space is clean and welcoming. Update: 1/27/26 I met Lindsay for my facial and she was amazing. Very kind, friendly, and professional. She offered options for types of facials depending on my goals, and since I wanted more help with hyperpigmentation, she did a clinical pumpkin facial and recommended aftercare serums. I really did enjoy my experience and would go back.
