  What a unique and relaxing experience! The environment is set in a quiet and minimalistic room, in a comfortable and inviting studio on the top floor of a building in Brooklyn. Miao was very friendly and accommodating in fitting me into his busy schedule. He has many unique art projects that combines different business models and contexts into one, and Massage is one of them. I'm excited to see what he plans to do with this project. During the massage, Miao utilizes hot stones and essential oils while massaging to the rhythm of the lulling background music. The room was a bit chilly during the start of our session, so the hot stones were a nice contrast on my skin. I enjoyed Miao's technique of using the hot stones to work the muscles in my back. The massage was soothing and Miao was very affable and professional. I appreciate your time and service; thank you and good luck with all of your endeavors!

  Had a fantastic experience at the Miao Jiaxin studio in Brooklyn. Jiaxin is super friendly, professional and a fantastic masseuse. He effortlessly made it a very comfortable experience. The setup of the studio was artistic and simple, yet very thoughtful. The massage experience made me feel like I was part of a performance. Jiaxin took his time to really prep the body, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The studio vibe was very chill and with the help of the massage, took away all the tension I felt in both my body and mind. It makes perfect sense that a great performing artist such as Jiaxin would make every massage session a unique and relaxing experience.

  Miao was polite and accommodating, despite the fact that I was running late for the appointment. He greeted me at the front door, and led me up the stairs to the studio which is tucked away on the top floor of the building. The decor of the studio was minimalist and calming. The TV was set to spa music with a calming background. The massage itself was so soothing that it actually put me to sleep for a bit. The addition of essential oils and hot stones was really nice. Highly recommended!

  Miao is a really nice guy. While not the absolute BEST massage I've gotten, he was very intuitive in working with my body and he knew where to focus. At certain points the massage was very rhythmic and all-encompassing--I felt transported to another space. At one point I got a vision of dolphins swimming symmetrically in a colorful, kaleidoscopic space, and the motion in which they were swimming matched the motion of his hands as he massaged my back. Sometimes he pulled too hard on my skin and it hurt, but aside from that, it was very releasing and helped bring circulation to the tense parts of my body. The hot stones were sometimes a little too hot, but largely created a wonderful feeling.

  I was running a little bit late and luckily Miao was able to start a little late for me. He greeted me at the door and explained what he was doing, and the room itself was comfortable and basic- no candles/incense etc. He was very friendly. It was a little noisy outside but not a big deal. He adjusted the windows and lighting to be more comfortable. He put on some ambient sounds and heated up the hot stones. He started with some basic all over back strokes and then went to the neck. I was very tense and had tight shoulder muscles, and a lot was going through my mind too, and so because of that it was hard for me to relax at first. He did a repertoire of different kinds of patterns with and without hot stones- there was one that made me tense up a bit because it was overly ticklish, but I didn’t say anything about it. I think also because of having a tight back, some of the movements were a little intense and going over the knots in my back a bit like speed bumps. The music went to a commercial and he went over to fix it and seemed a little agitated by it. The best part was when he was getting more specifically under my shoulder blades. Lastly he massaged my calves which I wasn’t expecting, but it was very nice and by the end of that I finally felt actually relaxed. At the end he took some simple passport style photos which took like a minute- to get the reaction from the massage. He did a pretty good job. He offered water at the end.
