Thrive NOLA Spa

I was visiting from out of town and stopped in at Thrive of NOLA—what an AMAZING experience! The spa itself is stunning, but the true beauty is in the people. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist treated me with such professionalism, warmth, and kindness that I instantly felt at home. She connected me with Jazz, and let me tell you—her hands are pure magic. Smooth as butter, talented beyond words, and such a joy to be around. I walked in full of stress and tension, and left feeling completely rejuvenated, relaxed, and glowing. Thrive of NOLA is an easy 10/10, and if you book, please do yourself a favor and ask for Jazz. You will NOT regret it!

Stella was excellent. She asked me great questions about my massage needs. I appreciated her attention to my troublesome areas. I walked in with a cane, and didn't need it when I left. I even felt good enough to walk around the Quarter a bit, listen to some good music, and enjoy the sunshine. A great way to wrap up a vacation.

I really enjoyed my services at Thrive. They were friendly, professional and really good at their jobs. Tana’s my esthetician was very helpful and even gave me tips on how to keep up with my skin care at home. My masseuse Matthew was also very good. I pointed out a knot I had been having trouble with for a couple months and he got it right out for me. I will most definitely be back.

My massage was awesome and the people were really kind. I felt very relaxed and it was great, and the location is convenient. Good environment, clean and timely I put four stars instead of five because I didn’t like that I was immediately asked to leave a review (and presented with a QR code to do so) as soon as I exited my room while deep in a massage glow. I also didn’t like that I was asked to tip the front desk person a percentage of my service fee and that the default tip options for them were pretty steep. The fact that I was tipping both my masseuse and the front desk wasn’t explained well and it was confusing and awkward. I don’t mind tipping a few dollars for that, like I tip 25-30% at restaurants etc, but the combo of the review thing and this part felt skeezy and made me not want to come back.

I had the awesome opportunity to receive a massage from Desi Star, and the experience was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, her energy was warm, calming, and inviting, which immediately helped me relax. I appreciated being able to choose an aromatherapy oil for my session, adding a personalized touch. Desi’s hands are truly gifted, she skillfully worked through the tension and knots in my body, leaving me feeling refreshed and restored. Overall, it was an excellent experience. I highly recommend Desi at Thrive Nola for your next massage.

Wow! Can’t say enough good things! Kevanda at the front desk was super sweet and welcoming. She answered all my questions and made the check in and check out process very easy. Anna was my massage therapist for a Swedish massage and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The areas I asked her to focus on she did just that and she made sure the pressure was just right. She’s so strong and I feel fabulous afterwards. I will definitely be back !

On 1/22/26 , the day after my birthday, I decided to treat myself to get a massage. This was my first time coming here and it was amazing. The ambience was so nice and relaxing the staff was so nice and attentive. I received my massage from Tomika and when I tell you she took care of me, I was definitely in good hands. I definitely recommend and will be back.
