Fantastic experience: Teressa, Nancy, and the staff were amazing! I did a spa day bachelorette with my gals and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Both my massage and facial were amazing. I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! I got a massage by Hailey today. She was so kind and listened to what my concerns were. She made sure if the pressure was good and made me feel comfortable!! She is awesome, I can't wait for my next massage!

Fantastic experience: Always welcoming and a great experience. All the girls are wonderful.

Fantastic experience: It's absolutely amazing. I feel refreshed. Even though I was only able to do a 30-minute massage, it was targeted, and I got to sit in a sauna for 30 minutes. I called on Thursday. I was in on the following Monday.

Fantastic experience: I love getting my massages from here. They are very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I've had massages, a facial and a medical massage as well and all of those experiences were amazing! I would highly recommend them! Can't wait to go back soon!

Fantastic experience: I go there to have my shoulder worked on they take very good care of me

Fantastic experience: This spa is fabulous and the atmosphere is an old Victorian home which is absolutely beautiful

Fantastic experience: I was having pain in my neck for the past 6 months and decided maybe I needed a medical massage. After two sessions I feel amazing!! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have loved every service I have recieved here! I've been going 2 years for massages, medical massages, and pedicures. The staff are all very friendly and personable. All of my services have been top notch, and there has never been an issue.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best facial I have ever experienced. I have since been returning as a loyal client for over a year now to see Ella. She has transformed my oily/dry, clogged skin to well balanced, soft and clear! With her European skin care knowledge and the amazing skin care line, Academie, has made that all possible. Escential Care sits on a quaint side street in Alden, NY and is in a beautiful victorian house. The front desk receptionists always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome upon arrival. I highly recommend this spa!! A diamond in the rough for sure:)

Fantastic experience: I got my very first facial today by Char and it was incredible! She did such a wonderful job, my skin feels amazing. She also gave me suggestions on what to get for my particular skin type which is so appreciated. I’m coming back soon and I’m telling all my friends about it! Everyone there was so kind and welcoming, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Fantastic experience: Best massage in wny

Fantastic experience: Excellent massage

Negative experience: Honestly I was incredibly disappointed. While the massage itself was nice, the atmosphere was not spa like at all. They do not treat it as if people are there for relaxation. The employees are loud and disruptive while clients are getting treatments. I could here the phone ringing in the reception area from all the way upstairs. I was not able to relax at any point during my massage. I wasn’t given a robe, I was not invited to go into the sauna. It took me all I had to keep my eyes closed, that’s how not relaxed I was. I will not be going here again

Fantastic experience: Beautiful mani/pedi!! Love Theresa R! Massages are wonderful with variety available. Essential oils available as well. Great staff! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great pedicure

Fantastic experience: This is much more than a spa. If you want a place to relax and destress, that is one option here to the greatest degree… BUT if you need healing and suggestions for self care to your ailments, that is the better option! So many knowledgeable professionals in this establishment! Do yourself a favor and take a visit. This is one of the very few places I found relief for a neuropathy that has been debilitating for years and it wouldn’t have come in ways I would have expected. Exceptional escential care!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful spa, relaxing and the staff are top notch. Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Escential care is such a great place to go if you want to be pampered and made to feel special. My boyfriend and I have visited for the couples massage twice so far with more visits scheduled and looking forward to our next one for sure! I come every 2 weeks to get lash extensions by Char Urban, She is incredible at what she does and takes pride in her work and will make you look and feel beautiful when you are all done!! Overall i have had an amazing experience coming here, everyone is so friendly and will make sure you feel comfortable on your visit. Such a calming and accommodating place that I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Loved the couples massage I got here, they gave me and my girlfriend everything we needed and we were both very happy and felt the best coming out of there!!

Fantastic experience: Here's what you need to know about this wonderful Spa from the wife of the poster (Heather)! The gals at the front desk are personable and friendly. Theresa H. does a wonderful massage concentrating on areas that are troublesome. Ella is a the genius of the facials - worth every penny. Morgan is the sweetest and her body scrubs will have you glowing. Theresa R. will get your fingers and toes looking ready for summer with her polishes. I cannot recommend this Spa enough and love to pop in as often as I can!

Fantastic experience: I have been having medical massage with the owner Theresa Hoffman before she opened her new business. The staff are wonderful. The care is very personalized and I make it part of my regular care. I have also used some of the beauty services… body scrub and nails. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Escential Care has so much to offer. The entire staff is amazing and very passionate in what they do. The atmousephere is warm and inviting even if you just walked in to check it out and make an appointment in person. Everyone needs time for their own peace & joy and this is the place.

Fantastic experience: When you want to regroup and feel better in mind, body and spirit, I highly recommend a pit stop at Escential Care. Sherri is a gifted massage therapist. She has magic hands that some how, some way, read the needs of your screaming body and mind and silence both. You leave knowing you just gave yourself the attention you so deserved. Oh, and the overall feeling of peace and wellbeing you experience? No charge!!

Fantastic experience: Always wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly and helpful. Complementary drinks offered (teas,coffees, etc.). Very clean.

Fantastic experience: Was looking for a massage therapist to help release some of the stress from Covid and a friend recommended Escential Care and Spa. I love it!!! Sherry is amazing and Nancy is family. They even are awesome about working with my lavender allergies as that is one of the most common scents for relaxation.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place to go too ! My wife and myself get a couples massage once a month and the ladies are so amazing! We always feel welcomed and it always feels so warm when you walk in .

Fantastic experience: I LOVE ❤️ Ella M. She is a miracle worker! Her facials make me look and feel 15 years younger. And My KIDS, can’t wait until it’s time for their massage ‍♀️. I drive out to that place for 40min when I know other places within walking distance from my house! Yes it’s a special wonderful place!!!

Fantastic experience: All of the staff were very friendly, Theresa explained everything before starting the massage. It was an excellent first time experience. Looking forward to going again!

Fantastic experience: My husband had bought me a 60 min. chair massage with Tammy, I was having problems with my neck and shoulder. I was/am not really a huge fan of being touched by strangers. But Tammy explained that she would be able to get to the spot better if I were to lay on the table. And she was right! I felt AMAZING when she was done. I have sent my mom there and my daughter. I just hope they enjoy as much as I did!

Fantastic experience: I had a deep tissue massage with Dave today, Amazing! Everyone is over the top with hospitality at Escential Care Spa and Wellness Center!

Fantastic experience: Great place, not only close and convenient, the gals are beyond wonderful. Very Professional!! I will continue to use their services!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful first-time experience at the spa yesterday, and I'm already looking forward to going back. Ella gave an absolutely amazing facial, the staff is warm and friendly, and they have created a welcoming and relaxing spa atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: They are so inviting and it's such a comfortable environment. This is my new massage place! The house is absolutely beautiful and everyone is so friendly. Plus they know how to give a great massage. Wich is saying a lot coming from me because I am picky.

Fantastic experience: My massage was exceptional! Coupled with a warm, welcoming, soothing, peaceful atmosphere, the experience was superior. Make an appointment!!

Fantastic experience: Great service, I receive a medical massage and it keeps this old body functioning. All staff is friendly and helpful. Love it there

Fantastic experience: Very clean place, love historic house. People are very nice and I love Teresa she is magnificent!

Fantastic experience: I could not have had a better first time experience. Meeting Theresa and Nancy with my service dog Bella felt like family. Theresa really knows what she’s doing and her wonderful attitude and demeanor put me totally at ease. Highly recommend Essential Care, and trust me you will too.

Fantastic experience: Theresa and her husband Curtis are two of the nicest, and most genuine people that you could ever meet! The facility is really beautiful and I went in for a medical massage a few months ago, and it helped me tremendously! She is very knowledgable, and definitely knows what she is doing. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of some self care.

Fantastic experience: Newly located in a charming village landmark home you will find a gifted staff of therapists and personal care assistants. Quiet waiting rooms, coffee tea water available to clients. A dry sauna may be available prior to your appointment. A variety of massage therapy is available:relaxation or maternity also medical and sports injury help. Automobile accident clients enjoy relief or reduction of pain without drugs

Fantastic experience: Theresa is one in a million. I was recommended to her by a friend, and she far surpassed any expectations I had. I came in for the first time with stress induced neck and head pain, and I left feeling as if I had no pain whatsoever. She’s apparently very popular, though, so book two appointments at a time so you don’t have to go so long in between massages ;)

Fantastic experience: I love everyone there! Awesome massages! Amazing people! ♡

Fantastic experience: Theresa did a wonderful job as usual!

Fantastic experience: I suffered from headaches for over a year. After many tests and treatments I was recommended to Theresa. Two visits and my headaches were gone. She is amazing and truely cares about her patients. I would recommend her highly.
