Massage by Jo Mi

I have a stressful job and a daily workout routine, so massage is important to me. I’ve had hundreds over the years, and I can say with confidence that Jomi is one of the very best. His combination of deep + light work is perfection — at times I was consciously breathing through the pain, and other times I literally fell asleep. What really stands out, though, is the combination of techniques and modalities that he incorporates into a 90-minute massage. Everyone combines deep tissue and Swedish, but Jomi adds hot stones, hot towels, aromatherapy and more. I have kind of a “been there, done that” attitude when it comes to massage, but Jomi reminded me just how good the experience can be. In addition to the wonderful technique(s), he’s also extremely present and connected throughout the entire massage. If he worked at a spa, the rate for all this would be at least twice as high, so in addition to being the best masseur in DC, he’s also the best value. Book him, you won’t be sorry.

I tried several masseurs in the DC area and finally settled on Jomi as my guy. He just has that “thing” that only the best masseurs have: when his hands touched me it felt like he was transferring vital energy — almost sacred. It never felt like he was doing a job or performing a routine. He also zeroed in on the knots in my back and really paid attention to the tight spots. His studio is hidden away but warm and inviting. He also has some really nice extras, including warm lotion, hot stones, and hot towels that he uses for foot massages. I always feel completely rejuvenated after a visit.
