Body Freedom Spa & Clinic - South Melbourne,VIC

5 /5 jNiña Aguilon: I really loved my experience in Body Freedom Spa. i availed the Pregnancy Retreat Futon massage. The place is so relaxing as soon as you enter. They offer you tea or water while you wait for your turn. The overall ambience was soothing. With my massage, I had May as my therapist and she’s great. Very accomodating, friendly, caring and attentive to what my body needed. She could feel and tell how tensed my body was and how much I really needed this R&R pamper time for myself before my baby comes. This place made it all worth it to get a massage at this stage of my pregnancy. I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant. In the room where i had the massage, there were drinks and treats while I was having my foot massage/scrub. The futon was nice and warm. I will definitely come back again next time, pregnant or not, to try the other treatments they have on offer. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!

5 /5 Gold Coyote: Emma is Amazing there! I got The Melt spa package and it did exactly that - I melted! Perfect place to feel pampered on a rainy day in Melbourne! Interiors are chic and cozy and products are luxurious!

5 /5 Sherridan: If we could give a higher rating, we would!! My partner and I both had an incredible pamper session by Jessie and Teegan. We felt safe, comfortable and relaxed the whole way through. We can’t wait to come back soon! Thank you so much! ☺️

1 /5 Susie Tran: I enjoyed the overall experience (a botanical facial) from my therapist Kate, she ensured a relaxing experience, however the products used were way too harsh for my skin. I had advised the products I generally use are gentle and natural as I do have sensitive skin during the consultation. I did feel tingling as I left the session but Kate did explain that the enzyme mask can be a bit tingly so I didnt think too much of it. It has now been an hour since I have left and my entire right side of my face is extremely raw and red and painful to touch. I have rinsed my face with water and a mild face wash that I use and have applied a barrier repair cream. There is so much damage done to my skin and I am now left feeling awful. I have worked very hard to get my skin to this point and wasnt expecting to have red raw irritated skin. Goodness knows for how long. Even after discussing options with Catherine over the phone, I just am not sure that there is anything that can be done immediately to repair the skin. I offered to send photos to Catherine but she just quickly dismissed me and said she didnt need any photos. I couldnt come back into the store as I live 40 mins away and my mum was babysitting my baby and come back as I had already left. Catherine did suggest that I apply some allergic reaction steroid cream, but I should not have to apply allergic reaction cream, as this is not an allergic reaction but a reaction due to sensitivity. I know my skin and I have been to countless skin clinics for facials and have never had an experience like this. Im really sorry to be leaving such a bad review as I did really like Kate as she was lovely and gave me such a relaxing experience but unfortunately the post-facial experience has been horrible. Ive attached a few photos. The first photo was right after I left the spa, the second photo was 1 hour post the facial when I got home and the last image was my skin without makeup just 3 days ago (no redness or irritation around the skin)

5 /5 Stef C: Lovely and relaxing experience - my partner and I got the 60 Min Therapeutic Pregnancy Table Massage and 60 Min Tailored Massage in a room together. I was 38 weeks pregnant and Kate made sure I was comfortable and pressure was perfect. Note that Im a small person (5ft) so could fit on the standard pregnancy massage table at 38 weeks of pregnancy but would probably opt for the futon massage if I was taller/larger.
