Client Testimonials
What our clients are saying.
DM
Everything was really pleasant and friendly!
MG
Thank you for one of the best massages I've ever had; and I've had many! Love the atmosphere of the center; very peaceful. Very professional, friendly, and caring staff. Thanks for an overall pleasant experience!
CD
Massage was fantastic, but what's more is that their set-up is also wonderful. The massage spa feels more like a home than a business. This is exactly how a message therapy setting should be.
SO
I've had many massages in the Baton Rouge area and I have to say the best by far is Ability. My doctor recommended them for my chronic shoulder pain. So glad he did. After 4 visits my pain is much more tolerable. So nice to feel like myself again! The atmosphere is so nice...quiet, clean and relaxing. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Very easy to schedule my appointments online too.
AY
I love this place. Warm and inviting. Has a large variety of services and professional, courteous staff.
TP
My doctor sent me to Ability to "try" for 4 weeks. When the 4 weeks was up not only could I not believe how much better I was, but my doctor said that he was so relieved because he felt for certain he was about to have to take me back into the OR. I thought massage was only an indulgent luxury, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
JB
I have been to a lot of spa's in the last 7 years or so and I will tell you I was impressed by my first visit. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My therapist was very sweet and most of all she is very good at her job and it is very hard to find a therapist that takes their time to make sure you feel better. All in all I couldn't be more satisfied with your spa and its staff. Thank you very much and I will be in touch soon to set up a follow up appointment.
PH
Wonderful experience for my first visit there. I'll be back!
JD
I came in to purchase a package for my husband. Needless to say I was impressed at first glance. Your place is very clean and quaint, however the most impressive was the scripture posted at the reception desk! Your receptionist is as "sweet as pie" so I know my husband will love his experience. I will be calling soon for myself! Thank you!
AN
My therapist was very attentive and professional, best massage I've had thus far.
LL
Ability is beautiful, peaceful, and professional. The staff was very attentive and I loved the extra touches - like bringing me water and a neck massage pillow while I waited. I was having neck tension and headaches and my therapist knew exactly how to massage and treat me and she gave me the tools to self-massage when I feel a migraine coming on.
CE
My OB highly recommended this spa for a prenatal massage and what an awesome experience! Very friendly, clean, relaxing atmosphere, reasonably priced, and amazing massage! Will definitely be returning!
AS
It took me years to find a place that I liked and had a history of staying open. Everyone there is nice. I get the care and treatment that I have been needing for a long time.
