I found New Heights Massage Era through Groupon, and I’m genuinely so glad I did. I’ve now been three times and every experience has been outstanding. This is not a generic massage this is intentional, skilled bodywork. She is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and understands how to actually correct tension patterns, not just temporarily relax them. The myofascial therapy, assisted stretching, hot towels, and detailed explanations have helped me understand my own body in a way no other place has. I leave feeling better and smarter about how to maintain it at home. What really sets them apart is the way they treat people. As a mom, I’ve had to cancel same-day twice because my young child was sick. I was met with complete understanding, and at my next appointment she even asked how my child was doing. That level of personal care says everything about how they run their business. Scheduling has always been responsive and professional in my experience. I have never felt rushed, dismissed, or like “just another client.” If you want someone who is skilled, educated, accommodating, and genuinely focused on your results and overall wellness book here. I will absolutely continue going back.

I had an incredible experience at New Heights Massage with Miriam, supported by Dolly. From the first conversation, I knew the connection would be good—and it absolutely was. Miriam is deeply intuitive, informative, and spiritually grounded. Her work felt energetically cleansing, almost Reiki-like, while still being truly therapeutic. I came in with lower back pain around my L5, and her deep tissue work—especially on my glutes and hips—combined with assisted stretching brought noticeable relief. The pressure was just right, and the session felt both healing and grounding. It honestly reminded me of the bodywork I experienced during a wellness retreat in the Amazon in Peru—very cultural, intuitive, and intentional. She’s currently in a temporary space, which some might underestimate, but don’t. I’ve had massages at luxury spas like the Four Seasons, and I still chose to come here—and I don’t regret it at all. Sometimes bells and whistles matter, but this was about real healing, good energy, and genuine care—and that’s exactly what I received. I referred 2 people within 30 minutes of leaving. Highly recommend. This practice is going to grow and reach great heights of success.

Update 2/6/26: if you’re stiff and/or sore, I’d highly recommend the stretching beforehand as it helped my body loosen up for the massage afterwards. While both Miriam (prior massage) and Dolly (current massage) have very firm pressure, Dolly is deeper, if that’s your preference. If you're looking for a luxurious spa experience, this would not be the right place for you. However, if you're looking for great quality and value in your experience, look no further. I was in town to visit family and had a crick in my back so was hoping to find a place that could get me in quickly. Miriam incorporates a number of different modalities in her massages, which I appreciated as my lower back and hip needed stretching to work on the pain. The facial, aromatherapy and hot stones were a bonus and added to a multi-sensoral experience. I made another appointment for the following week before I head home. The place is nondescript and is a red building in the back of the address so entrance is off of Durham (between 18th and 19th). Communication was great as she sent a picture of the place as well as shared location prior to the appointment.

Miriam and Jasmine gave my husband and I the best deep tissue massages. We play a lot of sports and lift weights, so we came in with very sore muscles looking for help with recovery. Miriam and Jasmine worked so very hard to give us exactly that with such a high level of care and kindness. I really appreciated the level of communication leading up to the massage as well. We will absolutely be back, and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

I got a prenatal massage and it was really good. My Massage therapist was super thoughtful, gentle and accommodating. The place was also super cozy and peaceful. Would definitely book again.
