Winnie is the best massage therapist I have went to in philly and I have tried many different places. She actually cares about helping you feel better over time and isn’t just there to for money. Her prices are great for what she gives you… especially compared to some other places where I have paid $120 for a service where it was nothing special. It’s so hard to find a massage therapist who will actually give me the deep tissue I need. She is very strong and knows what she’s doing. I recommend her to anyone looking for a real deep tissue that will actually help you if you are very tense. I have no problem paying upfront for the service, as I have seen another comment complaining about that.

I've been to a lot of masseuses in Philadelphia and Winnie is easily one of the top I've experienced. She is super strong and can do really powerful deep tissue but also does an incredibly relaxing but effective regular massage. She pairs the two so there's some real work being done on my muscles while also giving me some space for relaxation and more gentle muscle release. I felt like trauma was being released from my body. It not only felt physically restorative and reparative but also emotionally. She's also really responsive and respective of feedback. If something doesn't feel right, she immediately adjusts and sometimes noticed how my body was responding and adjusted before I could even say anything. She's really attuned. I highly recommend her especially if you like stronger, more effective massages.

I had such an amazing massage from Winnie. I had just left the doctor's office for neck and back pain when I walked by Smooth Sunshine Spa. Winnie told me all about the Biomat, which immediately sparked my interest due to the intense pain I was in. Not only was the Biomat amazing, but Winnie gave an amazingly wonderful massage. It was truly a luxurious experience. I will definitely be going back. ☺️

Winnie is so good. Listens to what you want worked on and goes as hard / soft as needed. She gets it and adds in stretches too. Call ahead especially on weekends.

Let me start off this review with saying the actual massage itself was great, and if that was the only part of this review it would’ve been 5 stars. However the shop owners behavior was incredibly unprofessional in my opinion. Payment was upfront and she had made comments about how I didn’t tip more. I found this very uncomfortable as this was before I had received any service. During the massage she spoke non stop about her personal dating life, and while I never asked her to stop there were multiple stretches of time where I was nearly silent and she kept talking for almost the entire 1.5 hour massage. She also made some remarks that I found to be very insensitive. At the end as I was rushing to leave the salon she stopped me at the door, and asked if I would tip her again. I came into this salon expecting to relax after a very stressful 3 weeks of travel, and instead left feeling even more tense than when I came in. It’s highly unfortunate since she is a great masseuse, but I think if you’re BIPOC this may not be the establish for you.
