Willow’s Reviews

“Willow is very knowledgeable experienced and skilled. Her abilities are exceptional. I give her my highest recommendation.” 

“I am a local and have been seeing Willow B. since the fall. She is wonderful and does exactly what I need after asking questions only at the first visit. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Blazing Lotus is a wonderful venue with a great vibe. Friendly and helpful receptionist and comfortable furniture in the waiting room. Go, you will not be disappointed.”  

“Most amazing massage ever! I felt like I was transported to another dimension. 90 minutes went by with Willow like a minute. Such strength and knowledge of pressure points. I came out and told my husband I felt like I was sent on a vision quest. Seriously, it was magical and I have never felt more relaxed and happy. Such a gift!” 

“Blazing Lotus and Wild Rose Healing Houses are seriously the BEST! I just had a massage with Willow B. and she just gave me an incredible gift of an intuitive and heart felt session. I came in feeling physically and mentally depleted and left feeling completely renewed! Highly recommend either location, the therapists here are top notch! ” 

“Signature message with Willow B. is other worldly! The hot stones, aromatherapy and hot towels make the massage even more relaxing.” 

“The best massage I have ever had. The quality and knowledge of anyone you see here is above and beyond anywhere else. Willow was extremely professional and very knowledgeable she knew exactly where my spots were. My sister and mom also received massages from other ladies and were beyond impressed with the quality of service.” 

“Willow Bittner is amazing. I’ve had massages all over the world. This therapist is world class. This is my 2nd time and it is as good as the first.” 

“I’m a 75 year old woman with a lot of aches and pains..a local. Back in the day, before I started taking care of my brother, massage was one of the ways I took care of myself.  Been awhile.  My 65 year old cousin was visiting for a family reunion and I wanted her to have her first professional hot stone swedish message with a foot/leg massage.  I had Willow and I think she had Travis.  It was wonderful. I have an ablation scheduled later this month at a pain clinic…but I feel so much better..I may not need it.  I am amazed!” 

“Fantastic couples massage by both Willows.”

“So grateful my friends and I found Blazing Lotus. All of us loved our massages! My experience with Willow was healing and she helped dissolve all my stress. The Apothecary is so cute and the energy of the Healing House is wonderful.” 

“With almost 200 five star reviews, I’m pretty sure this is the highest rated spa I’ve ever encountered … and I have to echo all of those reviews by saying that Blazing Lotus is worth the hype! I would gladly give this beautiful business six stars if I could.

My husband found Blazing Lotus on Yelp while planning a recent trip to Asheville. We didn’t end up booking anything until the day before traveling – but still managed to squeeze in two reservations on a Friday morning for signature massages.

There’s some parking spots available for clients in the back of the building, as well as a larger lot next to the nearby Whole Foods. The interior of the Healing House is beautiful – dimly lit with calming water features and light scents set the scene for relaxation.

I booked my service with Willow, who I later found out is the Lead Therapist at Blazing Lotus. The signature massage includes hot stones, hot towels, and aromatherapy – and was definitely worth the splurge. Willow was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve been getting professional massages for 10+ years, and have never received such care and intention as I did with her.

I highly recommend booking a massage at the Healing House – whether you’re a local, or just visiting for a long weekend like we were. I would gladly drive 5+ hours back to Asheville just for another massage.” -Bailey D.

“Received a great deep tissue massage from Willow! Loved the atmosphere of the house, and the quality of the massage. Would definitely come again.”

“Excellent massage center! I’ve had massages by 3 different therapists at Blazing Lotus: Willow, Sam and Stephen. All were superlative. Totally professional and compassionate. I wanted deep tissue massage and had specific areas of concern- all were very well addressed.” 

“Wonderful experience with a first-time couples massage. Willow B. and Molly were great, and it was exactly what we needed after traveling!” 

“I got a massage last night, so that I could wake up today on my birthday feeling brand new… Not only do I feel brand new, but I feel like a million bucks! Thank you Willow B., for helping make this day a special one!” 

“Every massage I have had at Blazing Lotus has been great, however when I book with Willow, they are outstanding. I am checking calendars to book my next visit.”

“We are relatively new to the area, and I hadn’t had a massage since COVID-19 started. It was hard for me to find a place in town that offered a great massage without being too commercialized or too trendy.  My husband found Blazing Lotus Healing House on Yelp, and I am so happy he did.  They provided comfortable COVID-19 precautions. The space was very inviting and calming.  Willow was my massage therapist and she was amazing.  She took a few minutes to listen to what I needed, and it was honestly one of the best massages I’ve ever had.  I look forward to coming back in the future.”

“Worth every penny! Self-care is one of my priorities but lately I’ve been working hard and stretching myself in growth, therefore my priorities changed and I started to feel stress building up and the unbalanced life started to take a toll on my wellbeing. I came for a massage, with an open heart and totally receptive to the healing hands of Willow, my massage therapist. I feel so glad and grateful I did. This is a total reset so I can again little by little take care of myself and go back to my routines. She is great! The place is beautiful and with excellent customer service. I just regret I didn’t schedule a two hours session instead of one!”

“My favorite place for massage in Asheville..knowledgeable, covid protocol following practitioners. Just had a wonderful massage with Willow… I had tweaked my back and hip working around the house, and by the time she finished working on me, I felt 110%. Would highly recommend!”

“Willow was a lovely, kind, and powerful therapist. The feedback she gifted me after the session meant so much. Thank you!”

“Willow was AMAZING!!! She intuitively knew exactly what my body needed and the experience was one of the best massages I have ever had.” 

“Amazing couples massage! We are visiting for our first anniversary and my husband has never had a massage before. Blazing Lotus was the perfect place to go. TJ and Willow did an amazing job asking if we were comfortable, listening to problem areas that we had and even gave us recommendations on hiking trails!”

“Highly recommend Blazing Lotus to anyone considering their services. My friend and I went for some relaxation while on a trip to Asheville. The house is so warm and inviting with so much personality. My therapist, Willow, was amazing and did a combination of techniques to relax and target various tensions in my body. It was, hands down, the most detailed and effective massage I have ever had. I walked out of there feeling so relaxed and that all the problem areas received ample attention to resolve. They were so kind after our services to provide us hot beverages, fresh baked cookies from a local bakery and a small gift to take home. Because I couldn’t pack this place and their people up to take them with me, I settled for some of their custom tea blends which I am enjoying now while I write this! Go visit the Blazing Lotus team. You won’t regret it.”

“Perfect balance of massage and pressure! Blazing Lotus has become my go-to massage place since finding them last year. I usually have the same therapist but had Willow this time and she was just as amazing. I would recommend them without hesitation.”

“Everything was outstanding!  My wife and I had a couples massage and Willow and Christina were our therapists.  They were amazing!  We get massages often and these two were in our top 5!  We would highly recommend Blazing Lotus Healing House.”

“I had my first massage at the Blazing Lotus today. It was hands down the best massage I have ever had! Everyone was so professional and friendly. Willow was my massage therapist and the best of the best! I highly recommend this place to everyone!!”
