I cannot recommend Tom enough! From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive. He really took the time to listen to the areas I mentioned were bothering me and made sure to focus on them throughout the massage. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and wants them to leave feeling better than when they came in. I’ll admit I was a little apprehensive at first about having a male massage therapist, just because it was something new to me, but Tom immediately made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. His professionalism was absolutely impeccable from start to finish, and he created such a respectful, calming environment that any nerves disappeared right away.The massage itself was amazing. the pressure was perfect, he checked in to make sure I was comfortable, and he worked through so much tension and tightness that I had been dealing with. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and honestly like a completely different person. The entire experience felt very calming and professional throughout.Tom is clearly very skilled at what he does, and it shows in the quality of his work. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, focuses on your problem areas, and provides an overall incredible massage experience while making you feel safe and comfortable, I highly recommend booking with him. I will definitely be coming back!

I had a wonderful experience at Thrive MedSpa! The pedicure was incredibly relaxing, and Emily was friendly, attentive, and professional. The spa was spotless, the atmosphere was beautiful, and they paid great attention to every detail. My feet have never looked or felt better. Best of all, they use Cruelty Free Nail products by Dazzle Dry! I highly recommend Thrive MedSpa if you’re looking for a luxurious, high-quality pedicure!

I love coming to Thrive! Huge shoutout to Tom he is an amazing masseuse! I’ve been doing full body 60min massages with him every two weeks for the past few months. He is extremely knowledgeable and has taken the time to understand the specific parts of my body that need some extra work. I always come out feeling like I am getting exactly what my body needed. Highly recommend!

A perfect sisters' day out — we'll be back! My sister and I recently treated ourselves to a full day of pampering at Thrive Medspa in Portsmouth, and honestly, it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and impeccably clean — exactly the kind of environment where you can truly exhale and leave the outside world behind. We indulged in customized facials, prenatal massages, and pedicures, and every single service was top-notch. The facials were thorough and tailored — the esthetician took the time to assess our skin types and walked us through each step, addressing specific concerns rather than just going through the motions. My skin felt genuinely refreshed and glowing afterward. The prenatal massages were nothing short of incredible. The therapists were clearly experienced in working with expectant mothers — knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful about positioning and pressure. To round out the day, our pedicures were relaxing and detailed — the kind where someone actually takes their time and you leave feeling polished from head to toe (literally). What really set Thrive apart, though, was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. They listened carefully to our preferences

recently completed a series of facial treatments and couldn’t be happier with the results. I was looking for a safe, cleaner alternative to Botox, and my first experience was with Xeomin. The result was subtle and natural—no frozen look—just a relaxed, refreshed appearance.Next, I did an IPL treatment, which dramatically reduced skin discoloration and noticeably improved overall tone while stimulating collagen. What really stood out to me was that friends and peers began commenting that I looked “brighter” and more refreshed—without knowing I had done anything at all.Finally, I chose to do a PDO thread treatment, and I can honestly say the result is far more natural than what I’ve seen with traditional facelifts. It restored structure and lift without looking overdone.What sets Dr. Schertell apart is her extreme selectivity—she prioritizes the cleanest, least toxic, and least invasive options, always with the goal of achieving a result that looks healthy and natural. She never pushes treatments, and both she and her staff are professional, friendly, and make you feel completely at ease throughout the process.I am absolutely ecstatic about my results. As a 61-year-old business professional, it’s important to me that I look energized and refreshed; let's face it, collagen and skin start to sag at my age, even with a healthy diet and exercise. I would highly recommend scheduling a consultation to explore which treatments make the most sense for you.
