Reviews of Refuge Massage & Salt Therapy

TQ Sims

Taylor is one of the most skilled and caring massage therapists I’ve ever worked with. His dedication to study and learning has led him to study various modalities, and our sessions are often a blend of techniques addressing injuries and tweaked spots in in my body. I’m often blown away by just how. I’m often surprised by the amount of relief and ease I find in my body after a session with Taylor. He’s amazing!

I started going to Refuge Massage about 2 years when I had a pinched nerve and now try to go monthly (minus the pandemic months) for a 90 minute massage. The best thing I've done for my mind and body! Taylor is professional, very knowledgeable, a good listener and very personable. I cannot recommend him enough!

Kyle Smith

Taylor is a remarkable masseuse. The ambiance of the room is warm, comforting, and serene. When you walk in, you are surrounded by pleasant olfactory sensations, soothed by colors both radiant and reassuring, and made peaceful by the music. It is a multi-sensual symphony of bliss and calmness, a spiritual oasis in the midst of the madness that is Mid-City, and an excursion into the depths of rejuvenation, and all before the massage even begins. Taylor is a master of control who approaches his craft with care and a full and happy heart. He is joyous, kind, and experienced. I will recommend him to any and everyone who has ever needed a massage. The 90 minute massage targeted all of my knots and soreness, and Taylor takes time to communicate throughout the session about pressure, and he seeks your input to make the experience as meaningful and fulfilling as possible. I left the room feeling a calmness that I thought only could be experienced by children at play, after a long and arduous climb up a mountain, or after many years of silent meditation. He’s that good.

I recently had the great fortune to be gifted a massage by Taylor as a birthday gift and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Taylor is a skilled and knowledgeable and seems really in tune with the individual needs of his clients. I have become a fan, will be returning regularly and would highly recommend him!

The Thai yoga massage was perfect. Taylor is outstanding; he is a very skillful and compassionate therapist. He took the time to get to know my history and provided a very safe and healing experience tailored to my needs. I look forward to trying other services there.

Can’t say enough positive things about Taylor and the experience I’ve had with him. Taylor has been exceptional in assisting me in my yoga and spiritual journey. Before I started going to Taylor there were numerous obstacles I was dealing with in my everyday life. After working with Taylor I’ve felt a huge transformation that has made living life much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Taylor to anybody.

Erin McQuade Wright

Taylor is a wizard! He was recommended to me by my Ayurvedic Practitioner, and I was so pleased with his work. I experienced the Abhyanga massage as well as the Shirodhara treatment. Wow! The space was so inviting, as was Taylor's approach. He took the time to understand where I hold my tension and what my objective was for the session. It was chilly outside, so I really appreciated the heated biomat on the table. Once the massage was underway, I could sense very clearly that Taylor pours not only his tremendous expertise into his work, but his heart and soul as well. Book an appointment! You will not be disappointed.

Mike Billiot

Taylor’s massages qualify as physical therapy in my opinion. He has a relaxing space, a soothing demeanor and an experienced manner of applying just the right amount of pressure in just the right places. One of the best massages I’ve ever had. I’m now a regular.

Steph Smith

Taylor and Moksa Yogic massage is very powerful, restorative and healing body therapy. Taylor in particular is able to tune in and make suggestions to deepen the benefits of the work specific to what your body and current situation may need. I highly recommend that you experience his work and the space he has created. It is one of the most beautiful massage spaces I have ever been in.

Molly Randle

I was given the gift of a massage as an anniversary gift from my husband. We are new to New Orleans and after researching several places around the city, we chose Refuge. This was my very first massage and I am a person of size so my anxiety was very high. That changed the moment I entered. This was one of the most healing experiences of my life. From his demeanor and professionalism to the massage, Taylor was absolutely incredible. This will be incorporated into my self care routine. Thank you so much Taylor!

Liana Cockfield

Taylor is absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend him. He is professional, knowledgeable, intuitive, and skilled in Ayurvedic massage. If you are suffering from muscular tension or just need to relax, he is absolutely the person to go to. The space is very beautiful and peaceful as well. My absolute favorite massage therapist I've been to in NOLA.

Jarrod Borne

Taylor is a fantastic Massage Therapist. I have nothing but good things to say about him. With the combination of his really cool studio and his high quality massage, the entire experience is top notch. I also know that Taylor has a lot of experience with yoga, Thai Massage, and Ayurvedic modalities. He's very progressional and makes you feel very welcome. I highly recommend checking him out.

Raymond Ambrose

I had a wonderful experience with Taylor. He asked about my problem areas and concentrated on them. His flow and movement as he moved around the body was orchestrated. He did not let the overage of time ruin my experience of the Thai massage. I will definitely go to him again.

Gia Mehrtens

Absolutely amazing! Taylor was very attentive and discussed problem areas before the massage. He focused his attention to those areas then continued with the full body massage. Very relaxing space. Would highly recommend!!

Tara McGinnis

The Mini-Ayurvedic Retreat was exactly what I needed after a major life transition. Taylor was very sensitive to my needs and made sure I was comfortable and benefitting from each treatment. I walked in with tight muscles feeling worn out from a long road trip and left with inner peace and quiet. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Kacie Stillings

I've had a lot of massages in my life, and this was one of the best ever. Taylor was intuitive and gave the perfect amount of attention and pressure to all my problem areas. Highly recommend!

Jorgan Frank

I didn’t know what to expect from a yogic massages but Taylor made the whole experience easy and very relaxing. I was surprised and very pleased with the way he used different temperatures throughout. The massage helped relive my areas of soreness (back) but also have some attention to my arms and legs which was a great touch.

Anthony Badillo

Taylor was amazing! I’ve had massages for years and NOBODY has given me a massage that has literally taken my pain away like Taylor. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Haiyan Khan

Taylor is an amazing intuitive massage therapist. He seem to be totally in tune with my body and its Edge's and its need. I would highly recommend him to any one considering a massage.

Elizabeth Perez

Taylor is knowledgeable and skilled, his integrative method addressed my overworked muscles needs. I’ve have massages with the best of NYC and most major cities throughout Europe. Taylor’s touch stands out. If you have a specific injury, or just need energetic realignment I highly recommend his services.

Amalia Leguizamón

Taylor is the best massage therapist in New Orleans! He has a deep knowledge of the body, he's always learning new techniques, and he pays extra attention to the smallest details to make a true healing, relaxing experience: the scents, the lighting, the warm oils. Just go! Your body and soul will thank you later.

Simone Haygood

Taylor is fantastic. Absolutely professional and extremely skilled in various massage modalities. I am definitely including massages with Taylor into my wellness plans this year.

Taylor was fantastic. An awesome massage and unwind. He is very intuitive and fantastic energy, I was so perfectly relaxed and balanced when I left after being a giant knot when I walked in. A complete mind, body and soul experience.

Lauren Griffin

Hands down (no pun) the BEST massage therapist in New Orleans!!! See for yourself! Taylor is magic. I have been a client for years and I don't intend on that changing anytime soon. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. You will not regret it.

Tori Berg

Taylor is amazing. Felt like he was wringing out the toxins from my body. Followed an hour massage with Shirodhara warm oil flowing over my third eye. I drifted off for half an hour. So calming and totally relaxed after. Highly recommend.

julia g zh

I enjoyed ayurvedic massage masterfully provided by Taylor Tidwell. It was relaxing and healing but there was also a great positive in energy in the following days. The salt room environment of the room must have beneficial properties. I highly recommend Taylor. I will be back.

Tatyana de Muns

Taylor is an amazing massage therapist. I always leave my sessions on cloud nine. He's very intuitive and I love the ambiance.

Michael Nuwer

Taylor healed me! I came to him with very limited range of motion due to 2 back surgeries and a spinal fusion in my neck. I had tried so may things before Taylor but his skills and spirit brought huge progress. It was a long term commitment on both parts. I will be eternally grateful.

Louis Driver

So Tyler is very professional, welcoming and treatment room setup clean and relaxing. I specifically picked to go for a massage here as mostly seem to benefit from and enjoy Ayurvedic styles and practice. Before the appointment I received a questionnaire relating to my health and any areas that I wanted working on and I completed this. At this point I felt that I was going to be in for a great exeperince. Unfortunately for me the massage just didn’t hit the mark, the areas I suggested that needed working were covered but very lightly and I was waiting for the whole thing to get going. I’m very active and wanted some firm body work. As much as I love oils and hot towels they were overused in this instance and I would of much more preferred the time spent doing all of that actually having the hands on massage. I have regular massage and have been for many Ayurvedic ones and this wasn’t up theee with the best of em. I had a nice time but left wanting a little more considering what I paid. Tyler is great and I’m not leaving this review to be difficult or unfair. I think you can learn a lot from feedback it’s how we grow, learn and improve. NAMASTE

Paige Torres-Toujouse

Taylor is a fantastic listener to specific issues you need addressed. Perfect firm pressure(which is my preference, but he asked to make sure it was just right), amazing ambiance in the salt room and the biomat is such a nice touch for extra relaxation.

Alejandro
