I liked my time at Espace Nomad a lot.
The place is on a nice corner of St. Laurent, and the large windows capture every bit of light they can, giving the place an airy feeling.
A cafe to your left when you walk in has absolutely delicious espresso drinks, smoothies and - to my surprise - a scrumptious chai tea (I'm not usually a huge fan of chai blends, but this one was GOOD).
I love the packages, and was able to get a prenatal massage and a pregnancy-safe pedicure. Both practitioners/techs were incredibly sweet, warm, welcoming and nurturing. The pillows they have for pregnant people make it possible to lay comfortably on your stomach. The massage itself was very light, and since I get regular massages back home, I know it is possible to be with-child and still get a little more pressure, but that is alright: it was still a very relaxing, welcome experience.
The pedicurist was so fun to talk to and did a fantastic job of smoothing out my feet and making them sparkle.
I would absolutely recommend and will return. I think the prices are very fair as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 20, 2020
I had this place in mind for a long time given the great reviews and was finally able to make it. They cancelled my appointment when they re-opened due to a booking mistake and offered me 25% off on my next massage- nice gesture on their end.
The place has a nice bohemian vibe. I had a 90 min Thai massage with oil and it definitely wasn't the best one I had. I Felt like my masseuse didn't have much experience and wasn't very present ( I have had many massages so I can tell). I would have liked to give them a 4 star but it was far from a 4 star. I still gave her a nice tip even though I didn't really enjoy my massage...
If I were to go back, I would try someone else and a different type of massage. Glad I can cross this place off the list.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Sehrish N.Mississauga, Canada91137449Oct 3, 2020
Such a warm welcome from the staff. This spa has such a beautiful ambiance with lovely plants, windows and lights. When you enter they have a ton of products on open shelves which they are selling and also a food/smoothie bar. The spa itself is quite large and on multiple floors. The waiting area was beautifully set up. They are respecting covid-19 guidelines with hand sanitizer at your disposal, cleaning products, a clean/dirty section. Thoroughly impressed with the team and would return.
They have promotions/specials on certain services. If you answer a questionnaire at the end of your treatment, you may receive a smoothie of the day. Its a small portion but a perfect treat after your treatment.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Amelia R.Los Angeles, CA10713913Aug 11, 2022
J'avais très hâte d'essayer Espace Nomad car j'aime bien leurs concept. Le staff à l'accueil est sympathique et j'aime bien leurs boutique. Malheureusement mon massage était un 3/10. La massotherapeute manquait clairement d'expérience. Elle ne m'a même pas masser les mes bras et mains. Elle m'a demandé au début si s'était ok qu'elle me masse seulement face en bas, j'ai dit non car j'aime bien avoir un massage complet des jambes et des épaules. Mon massage ne valait pas du tout le 150$ que ça m'a coûter.

From the outside this place looks small but once you arrive there are multiple floors and the layout is warm, cozy, bohemian, and zen. I enjoyed the waiting areas where they have tea and adult coloring books. I did have difficulty figuring out how their hot water dispenser worked and there were no instructions (had to flag someone down).
The therapists I saw were professional and passionate about their work. I really felt like I received a quality massage and the areas that needed work were attended to. I tried reflexology here once and I found it to be a bit overkill to have someone massage my feet for an entire hour. Plus, I think I might have detoxed too much as I was lethargic afterwards and my feet were tingling for days. If you know what you're getting into that's a different story but I was definitely off a few days afterwards (perhaps some good "detoxing" was happening but still it threw me off)
I found it extremely odd that there was no hot towel wipe down at the end of the massage. Each time I've been here I had to go straight home to take a shower. It would be nice if they offered this service at the end of the massage so I don't feel like I have lotions all over me.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Kobsupang R.New York, NY1172361404Dec 5, 2019
I was there a little over a week ago to get my manicure done. Loved that they were able to accommodate in such a short notice (within an hour). I loved that this place offered one of those non-toxic nail polish brands (forgot the name) and Shaina was absolutely wonderful and friendly. Not only she was great with what she did, she also recommended me places to visit while in Montreal. They had quite an interesting tea collection from Pukka (pretty great brand that I love). Shaina was really taking her time and the chair was quite comfortable that I almost fell asleep. I loved the lounge area as well, it was really relaxing and pretty quiet.
I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. The juices/smoothies there were really tasty and refreshing. They charged for the jar deposit for only 50 cents (cheaper than in Cali!)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 5, 2016
Woow this place is AMAZINGGGG ! Location is on st laurent very easy street parking with the meters. The place is very chic and has a nature garden feel. I originally planned to have a 90 minute massage for the same price as a 60minutes but I screwed up and was not able to get there at 10am exact so i told them not to worry and just give me 60minutes. They said no we can totally give you 90 minutes but it just didnt feel right. I ended up with an amazing masseuse ! His name is Charles woow he was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING !!! No other words can describe how AMAZING HE WAS! He really knew every pressure point on my body and used a reiki technique with energy healing !
Price was so cheap around 97$ tax included for 60minutes massage or 90minutes special for the same price. Too bad I couldn't stay longer to take that sweet offer. The offer is valid before 12pm I believe.
Overall, price service and quality of the massage were top notch and will definitely be back 100% positive ! I think ill schedule my next appointment within the next week it was that amazing! I highly recommend this place !!! XoHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Bex X.Boston, MA22681Jul 3, 2019
The aesthetic and the layout of the space is gorgeous. They have a juice bar (and swings!) as well as a nice selection of products for sale. It looks like a really small space but the inside is big and multi-tiered.
The massage I had was okay - not incredible but it was nice. The infratherapy wasn't really what I was expecting. Based on their online descriptions I thought it would be a different type of experience but it was kind of like a general cellulite treatment. Not worth the $$ in my opinion, and I wish that they had been a little bit more clear about what was included in that service.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Hayat M.Brooklyn, NY36Oct 21, 2019
I visited Espace during a recent weekend trip to Montreal. I had done a great deal of walking around town so I was in need of a good massage to treat my sore feet, legs, and back.
Upon arrival I was greeted by a wonderful, friendly staff. I was told to wait in a cute and quiet area until my massage. I was then taken downstairs to a massage room and that's when it went downhill. The room was extremely cold. The chair was heated so I asked to increase the temp but it only helped the area touching the chair. When the sheet was lowered to work on a part of my body, I was left freezing. Also, the room was located directly underneath a stair case so I could hear the constant creaking of people walking back and forth above me which made it incredibly difficult to relax.
The massage was pretty awful. I ordered a Swedish massage and at the last minute requested 20 minutes be dedicated to a reflexology massage. The Swedish massage was nothing more than long strokes of her applying lotion. I understand it's meant to be relaxing but at no point did she massage me. When it came to the reflexology, she admitted she wasn't certified, but I get it done in nails salons every other week so didn't think it would be an issue. She proceeded to just give my legs the same Swedish massage she gave my back. What I needed was her to really massage my legs and release the soreness and tension in them.
As a customer I thought it would be rude to say "you're not massaging me right," You're really limited to telling people about pressure not technique so I wasn't sure how to relay this to her without admitting she was doing an awful job. I lied to her and the receptionist about how good the massage was and even tipped her (she was very kind and I felt she should be paid for her services) but I would never, ever go back there again. I got the sense she was super green and didn't know what she was doing. I've never experienced such an ineffective massage like that before and now I'm forced to shell out money for another massage as the first one had zero impact on my body.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 225343913Jun 22, 2018
I recently scheduled 90 minute massages for myself and two friends while on a girl's trip to Montreal visiting from NYC I found the spa doing research online and liked that it seemed more casual and laid back then some of the other spas like Bota Bota. Since one of the girls I was traveling with was pregnant, it wasn't important to us to go to a spa with the baths since she couldn't utilize them. The spa is located in the Mont-Royal area which is a very cute area of Montreal. The decor of the spa was really pretty and it was a very pleasant experience in the waiting room. I really enjoyed my massage and wish it could've been longer. The spa also accepts Spafinder gift cards which is nice. After the spa treatments, we were able to continue walking down the road to many other tourist attractions like the Mural festival and the famous Schwartz's deli.
