Wind N Willow Specialty Shop & Spa

I have massages on a frequent basis due to tension headaches, neck and back issues and a history of migraines. I’ve had many good massages around Sacramento and went to Wind N Willow for the first time May 2015. I have made regular visits since that time (this review is long overdue). The treatments are amazing! Using the sauna beforehand helps to soothe and relax my muscles. The massage is always the perfect pressure– enough to work out the tension, but not too much to make it painful. Alternative therapies are also available and Sally has an array of retail items like detoxifying teas and essential oils to help maintain your wellness beyond the massage treatment. I always walk out feeling totally relaxed, and also rejuvenated to take on whatever life has in store for me! I only hesitate writing a review for concern she’ll be too booked to get me in :-)

I used a Groupon for my 1^st visit and had such a great experience that I have become a regular since! Sallie is great– she is very welcoming and I really enjoy her techniques. All of the massage therapists on staff are very professional and knowledgable. I appreciate the foot scrub that comes before each massage too. The massages are affordable and the boutique is also really nice. I had purchased some essential oils and great herbal teas. I would definitely recommend Wind n Willow. Will keep coming back!

Sally is uh-​mazing. I never been able to fully relax during most body massages but with Sally it’s a different experience.
She just know the right pressure to apply. I don’t have to tell her where she needs to focus on. She just knows and she will knead those knots and tension out of you. Never been so relax and comfortable. Also love that her massage table could be heated. So it’s nice and warm during the colder months.
I’ve never been disappointed with her service and I’ve been a regular since I found her through Groupon deal.

I was pleasantly suprised by my experience at Wind and Willow. As a Massage Therapist, I am so picky about my massages, but I figure it was only $ 45 for an intro session, and I have always beem intrigued by the spa in the quaint village so I gave it a shot… so happy I did! I wallked in and saw the beautiful décor and felt the great vibes when I was greeted by a lovely lady that gave me a foot scrub while I filled out my intake form. I also was impressed by the infared sauna and the clean yet cozy atmosphere. I appreciated how she focused on my problem areas and didn’t talk through the session which allowed me to relax. She offered me cupping techniques which gave me relief of my shoulder tension. The aromatherapy oils were also a nice touch. Very pleased and will return.

Sallie did a wonderful job on my massage. She has that touch that a lot of massage therapists don’t have. However, I felt like I was being rushed out of there and not to mention, I don’t believe they changed the sheets. (really disgusting, I know!) I had to lay my naked body on top of dirty sheets that someone laid on before me. I could smell the blankets hadn’t been washed in I don’t know how long. Other than a rushed massage, I really didn’t get the relaxing feeling that I had hoped for.

I love this place! Its so beautiful and relaxing inside, and I have always had an amazing experience using their sauna and the massage is really great as well– and this is coming from a fellow massage therapist, so I am probably a little picky, but I absolutely loved it!
The first time I went in just to use the sauna for medical reasons I wasn’t expecting anything extra but she always gives a great dexoting foot bath and foot rub while my neck was being warmed with pillow. The sauna is always clean, smells great, and she even brings you cool water if you wish, which was amazing.

Nutshell:
Massages are underrated, especially when you’re in the hands of a skilled professional. I’ve never had one before, and I’m fortunate to have had my first experience at Wind N’ Willow. It was amazing!!! Five starts doesn’t seem like enough.
A little background:
I’m a mailman who pounds the pavement six days a week while also attending CrossFit classes multiple times per week. With this much strain on one’s body, you’ll want to get your massage someplace you trust where their experience is apparent. Wind N’ Willow exceeded my expectations and left me feeling light as a feather.
Booking:
Couldn’t have been easier! Even gave me a courtesy call the day before to confirm my appointment.
Experience:
First came the foot scrub with warm water, salts and oils. It ticked, but felt nice. Then came the infrared sauna. It felt like being in an oven, though I was content to be cooked. It’s VERY efficient at getting you to produce sweat and release toxins. More so than the traditional steam saunas. While in there, my girlfriend and I were given plenty of cool water and cool rags. Topping it all off was the massage. Though this was my first, I couldn’t imagine it going any better. Perfect lighting, perfect pressure as requested, great knowledge of muscle anatomy and superb massage technique.
The Owner:
Extremely pleasant, friendly and skilled. Top notch service!
Conclusion:
I plan on returning, and hope you do the same!

Honestly didn’t even get a massage. Don’t waste your time.
I bought a groupon for a massage here and was excited to try it out. After calling numerous times to try to set up an appointment I opted to email them instead. It took 3 weeks for me to schedule an appointment since they would never respond to my calls or emails. After finally setting up an appointment, I waited for the day to arrive.
Upon arrival, granted I was a little early, no one came. I waited 20 minutes AFTER my appointment time for them but the place was locked and empty. I would’ve loved to write a wonderful review about how the massage was, but sadly I didn’t even get the chance to try it out. Don’t waste your time

This review has been long overdue, as I went here years ago with my girlfriend for a spa package.
I just want to give this place 5 stars, because this has literally been the best massage I’ve experienced in my life so far, and I’ve had plenty of them from different places in the years that past. The person that did my massage was a blond long haired lady, and the amount of precision she had was amazing.

My first ever professional massage– what a treat it was! The building is small and unassuming with a relaxed, comfy feel to it. Just my style!
Sallie is friendly and respectful and provided an excellent massage making me feel peaceful, body and mind. Will be going back, I’m sure.

I used a groupon to come here a couple of weeks ago. Hands down one of the most relaxing massages I’ve ever had. The décor was down to earth and Sallie was friendly, professional, and warm. There was a never any pressure to buy any additional products or treatments. I will be sure to come here again.

Had an amazing experience here one afternoon after a long day at work. We started with a foot soak/​scrub and a warm neck pillow that smelled wonderful! Sallie was my massage therapist and she was conversational and attentive. I then did some time in the infrared sauna, which was more relaxing than a normal sauna because there was no high humidity. This was followed by a most wonderful massage.
The facilities were clean and everything smelled just perfect to soothe my frayed nerves. I will definitely go back!

Best massage I have ever gotten hands down. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing massage in fair oaks/​sacramento.

Just got back from a few hours of pampering with a few friends. I was so lucky to find Sallie and Wind n Willow. It was my job to plan a day for the three of us since it was a friends birthday. I called and left a message to see if they could accommodate the three of us at the same time and Sallie called me back and said they could. We did the ionic foot bath and a infrared sauna along with a massage so it was a really nice way to hang out with girl friends and pamper ourselves. Sallie is very knowledgable and you feel immediately at ease when you walk in. One of my friends had never had a massage before and Sallie took great care of her. We all compared notes and decided Sallie was by far the best at the massage so if you go, request her. I will certainly go back and have her give me the massage next time. The ionic foot soak was different and interesting, I had never done that before and the sauna was not as overpowering as the steam ones so it was doable. I didnt get overly sweaty but did get a good cleanse going on. I am not sure how long I was in there I think 15 min but it did the job. I certainly felt refreshed and relaxed when we left. We even got a parting gift of tea or bath salts, we all opted for various kinds of teas and there were many to chose from. The little shop has such a quaintness about it. Seems like it used to be a house but the way they have it set up is very nice. You will for sure want to try them out the prices are reasonable and for the service you get it is definitely worth it. Thanks again Sallie you were awesome!

I bought a 2 person spa deal from Groupon for my sister and I. This was my first time getting a massage. I absolutely loved it. The owner was amazing. They took great care of us. I will come back again.

While small and unexciting from the exterior, the Wind n Willow Spa is a cute boutique and oasis of calm. Friendly and informed service keeps guests feeling like they are getting their money’s worth, and very cozy rooms, lush blankets, and array of products, all wrapped up in attentive details, surely makes for a splendid experience.
Wind n Willow incorporates powerful words of wisdom and spiritual guidance into modern day healing techniques.
The infrared sauna was perfect for a little afternoon trip.
I left with teas and oils, never feeling pressured to purchase anything, while literally floating out the door after having had several detox and massage procedures.
Great place. Going back!

Sallie is the owner of this quaint little place and she is also the massage therapist. She’s very friendly and the massage was an overall «A»! I came out feeling refreshed and stress-​free! I will definitely come back here again!

I just had the best Spa/​Massage session. Michael and Sallie were amazing; so kind and knowledgeable. Really a great experience. I will be back!
