What are you looking for, stress relief or a complete escape from the daily grind?
Across our 4 locations, our licensed massage therapists create a calm, nurturing space where your nervous system can finally unwind.
This is a sensory experience unlike anything you've felt before.
Scratch Therapy is a return to something the body naturally needs; intentional, calming touch. Rhythmic and gentle scratching helps shift your body out of stress and into a relaxed state. It also triggers the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins, chemicals that help relieve stress and improve mood.










Please reach out to hello@thescratchspa.com if you have any questions.
Not at all! On the contrary, it's an amazing feeling! Gentle scratching and skin tracing is gentle, rhythmic, and will never cause pain, manipulate muscles or break the skin. Ever had your back scratched? It's unbearably good!
The most common scratch areas are the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands and legs. Occasionally feet have been requested.
There are different rounds of scratching, depending on the session you purchase. All sessions experience scratch tools, whether it be natural nails, acrylic nails, fingernail extenders, bristle brushes, feather fans, etc. Please provide your preference and you are able to change it at any time during the session.
This is not a massage. It's different, but equally restorative. We use surface-level, gentle scratching instead of forceful muscle manipulation with the hands. Clients find it calming, emotionally grounding and extremely relaxing.
Our signature is gentle scratching, however we have one session called The Duo Deluxe which combines a 45-minute Swedish massage and a 45-minute scratch session. Unbelievably good.
If you have any medical or mental health condition, it's always safe to consult with your primary care doctor or therapist. If you have severe skin conditions or you are a ticklish person, this may not be for you.
That depends on your body and your lifestyle. Some clients come weekly for a reset or regulation, others come monthly for healing maintenance. Memberships are available if you want to create a ritual of care.
Due to the personalized nature of our services:
We honor your time, we ask the same in return.
Life happens, we get it. One-time exceptions may be offered for emergencies at the discretion of The Scratch Spa.
The Scratch Spa may cancel any appointment if they feel the client is a threat or may cause harm. No refund will be issued.
The Scratch Spa may cancel or reschedule the appointment if there is a concern of an illness or if there is a lack of hygiene from the client. If the client decides to cancel & not reschedule, a refund will not be issued.
Arriving late (up to 15 minutes) will shorten your session time out of respect for the next client. You will still be charged for the full session.
If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will forfeit your session and be charged for the full session. Please communicate with us. We understand life happens.
You may reschedule your appointment online or by contacting us directly at least 24 hours in advance.
