Chantal and her team are amazing!!! We had such an amazing experience. I tried scheduling massages and facials the week that we were going and she made it work for us. She was in constant communication with me and kept me updated.We were greeted with some really refreshing drinks and with her team ready. I definitely would go back here! The atmosphere was so relaxing and just truly enjoyed our experience. Thank you Chantal for the wonderful experience!! 5 stars for sure!!

My husband and I decided to make an impromptu visit to look at some real estate while we had a couple of days off. Chantal was extremely kind, helpful & went above & beyond to get a couples massage booked for us. She even called in a contract therapist to make room for us in the schedule & so that we could have our massages at the same time. She was easy to communicate withIn addition, she gave us a few dining referrals. We ate on the patio at The Boat House (also fabulous). As residents of Dallas, we have A LOT of options for dining & spa services.Angie & Angyla did such an effective job for each of our different needs. Next time we’re in the area, The Retreat will be one of our stops for sure.Quality, professional massage at a very fair price in a quaint, clean, relaxing environment.Thank you ladies, we were so glad to happen upon your facility.

My husband and I go monthly for a massage. We love being able to go at the same time. Sharon, Chantal and Rhonda are excellent! They listen attentively and then work on your specific aches and pains!

My friend was getting married, under a lot of stress so decided to do a massage and facial. No one could accommodate the time we needed, but the staff at The Retreat went above and beyond to make her day special. This was my 3rd possibly 4th visit and I absolutely love the place. The staff is great, the atmosphere so calm and welcoming, and very relaxing, I always recommend The Retreat to anyone who asks for a wonderful massage. Thank you ladies for making our day extra special

Yesterday I went to The Retreat for a massage (by Chantal) and a facial (by Rhonda Kidd) . Both were FABULOUS! The atmosphere here is the best for these services. Beautiful, smells lovely, relaxing music and friendly and professional staff. I will be returning in 2 weeks for a reflexology session and am so excited. Give yourself a treat, make an appointment and check The Retreat out! You are gonna love it. Mollie

I have been a repeat customer at the Retreat for more than 12 years. The monthly massage I receive does wonders for my back and muscle issues. Chantal is the BEST!I was given a gift of a facial treatment by a friend recently. The microderm facial I received at Beautiful U was one of the best I have ever received. Rhonda is very knowledgeable about skincare and made some excellent recommendations about additions to my skincare routine. I wholeheartedly recommend you give Beautiful U an opportunity to pamper your skin. And while you’re at The Retreat, make a day of it and have a massage!

Great experience! My mother-in-law and I had massages here in May. She had a hot stone massage and I had a prenatal massage. They make sure you are comfortable and tailor the massage to your needs. The staff are so polite and professional. We both enjoyed our massages very much! I am definitely planning on going back!

My husband and I came here for our first couples massage for our anniversary weekend! When we first arrived we were welcomed by Ashley, and she was so nice. We were definitely not disappointed and it was everything we expected and more. Shannon and Chantal were great and made us feel so comfortable and welcome!

I was able to schedule a last minute massage after a month of traveling for work (lots of sitting, driving, sitting on an airplane, more driving, etc.) and Sharon knew exactly what I needed. She was professional, kind and experienced.I left feeling so much better and counting down the days until the next time I can visit. Highly recommend!

Nothing but POSITIVE things to say about The Retreat! Ive always been treated & taken care of to the fullest but the staff. This past week I endured some awful side effects of a migraine/tension headache that put me to bed. Chantal took amazing care of me & was awesome with tips & follow up after care.

The ladies here know what to do, how to do it and can take a person who can hardly walk, move head, sore muscles in and work on them for 1 hr. And walk out feeling awesome. God Bless them all.

My husband surprised me with a massage and facial. Tammie and Tera are amazing. When you walk in, you can feel the “relaxation vibe.” All the staff members were welcoming, and each of them greeted me with a smile. Tammie really helped the tension in my back, and helped the pain in my arm (from carpal tunnel). She even gave some great advice on ways to help the lower back while at home. Tera was awesome as well. My face looked radiant after she was done. My pores feel tighter, and my face feels soft like butter. I will definitely be back for more services! I think next time I’m going to try a chemical peel! This place is definitely amazing, and you are cheating yourself if you don’t book now!

Highly recommend this place! Chantal is excellent at what she does! I was traveling to Texas from CT and was in desperate need of some relaxation time and a massage. I have a high stress job, physical job, and some prior injuries. Chantal listened to my needs and delivered great techniques that totally helped my body. This place is so cute and staff is so friendly! I immediately felt better upon leaving! I can not believe how accommodating they were with being able to fit me in. Staff takes their time with clients which made me really able to feel relaxed, I have been to other places where I felt rushed.

Chantal was amazing and very accommodating to my needs. I will definitely go back and recommend to all of my friends. She went out of her way to send me a list of things to do and places to eat in Athens.

I ordered a gift card over the phone for my best friend as a bride to be gift. Ordering over the phone was easy and Chantel had it in the mail that evening. My best friend absolutely loved having a moment of relaxation in the midst of a stressful last week of wedding prep.

Ive been a regular customer at The Retreat for years. The quality of service at this spa is cut above the rest. From the personal service to warm and welcoming atmosphere that greets you upon entering is all part of a very memorable and relaxing experience. If you have the time and are in the area, do yourself a favor and get over to the retreat.

How far would you travel for a fabulous massage? I traveled 2125 miles!Well actually, I came to Texas to visit my elderly mother. For the past year my sister and I have been handling her affairs after she fell and broke her hip and was moved into a retirement center.It has been one stressful year. She is the sister nearest to Mother and she shoulders a lot of the stress. Friday the 13th was her 61st birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. She had never had a massage but was interested if I came along.From my home in Snoqualmie, WA I googled day spas Corsicana, TX There were several in nearby towns but this one caught my eye. Many reviews had such sweet things to say about the spa and the owner Chantal. My sister was like...that is an hour away! HANevertheless I called and quickly got a response. I saw they had a couples massage room and want to know if they could fit us in at the same time. Chantal was so gracious and accommodating, she checked with another therapist and arranged for the joint session.It was a beautiful drive to Athens and the spa was in a quaint little house just a few blocks from the main road. When we entered we immediately felt the peacefulness and serenity of this lovely spot.Chantal is a lovely woman with a warm caring spirit. They lead us to the room so that we could get ready. My sister and I are total opposites...I am pump and fluffy (always hot) and she is slender and thin...always cold. Somehow they knew this immediately, as my sisters table was warm and heated and mine was not!!My massage with Chantal was perfect, she gave extra attention to all the areas I listed and as requested her touch was not too hard and not too soft; it was just right. As the session went on we chatted about family, Texas, food, and just life in general. At one point I noticed I had not heard from my sister. She was so relaxed she dozed right off.Needless to say, a visit to the Spa will be a necessary part of my visits to Texas in the future. Im from Snoqualmie but to get a great massage you must go to Athens, TX.One side note: Snoqualmie...beautiful place, hard to pronounce. Chantal mastered it on the first try! Also she told me Athens was the blackeye pea capital of the world. Being a southern girl I told her even in WA I serve them New Years day. When I left she gave me a gift from Athens to remind me of my roots.
