About
I'm very, very happy to reopen Spa Boquete after a long pandemic hiatus. The updated Spa website includes descriptions of services and current rates. Services offered by appointment only, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. And a reminder that Spa Boquete offers only professional therapeutic work; it does not include other “services."

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Both my husband and I got deep tissue massages last week and we would recommend 100%. Kitzie is experienced, very professional and talented, but also warm, friendly and intuitive. If you can arrange an appointment, don’t hesitate. We would have gone back if we’d had more time in Boquete. Thank you Kitzie.

Kitzie gives a wonderful, relaxing and focused massage, add the 30 minute facial it is well worth it! I have had many massages in my life and this was by far the most relaxing and calming massage I have ever had. Treat yourself and choose her!

I had the pleasure of meeting Kitzie last week. She gave me the most wonderful massage and facial, hitting all the right spots, explaining everything as she went along. Fascinating person with a rich life history. Was also very accommodating when my schedule changed. Highly recommend this if you are in Boquette.

Both my girlfriend and I got massages with Kitzie a few days ago. Kitzie is clearly a professional. She’s friendly and courteous.She starts off by spending a few minutes to understand any specific problems or concerns you’d like to address. In my case, I requested a deep tissue massage. The massage was great and exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend had a similar experience. If you’re somebody who enjoys getting a massage, this is definitely worth the time.

I had a wonderful experience with Kitzie today. It is so much more than a simple massage. The massage was combined with a lot of spirituality. I felt very comfortable at all times and my wishes and needs were always taken into account. I thank Kitzie for the wonderful time today!

Vielen dank, Murz1301!!! That's the extent of my German, but Google Translator came to the rescue here, which Trip Advisor helpfully supplies. I'm very grateful for your kind review and happy that you received the....well...whole package. I was very fortunate to have traveled and studied a lot of healing techniques besides professional massage, and love to combine them when that's what a guest would like.

If you find yourself in Boquete, or live close by, I strongly recommend making an appointment for massage with Kitzie McKinney.
My husband and I both had 2 sessions with Kitzie while visiting from California the past two weeks. Kitzie spends a lot of time getting to know and to learn your needs, and respectively honors your expectations.
We found ourselves more relaxed, more energetic (!) and even sleeping better after our sessions with Kitzie.
Please consider making an appointment with Kitzie, you WILL NOT look back. In addition, she is incredibly interesting, and has a lovely spiritual centered aura which leaves you feeling the same.
We will see you again Kitzie -

Dear Barbara and Fran - Just after the pandemic abated a bit, I wondered whether or not to re-open Spa Boquete, as it had been closed for over 2 years. I gave myself 2 months to figure it out; during that time, you two showed up. It became very clear to me that I love doing massage too much to give it up completely, though I now limit my appointments to two per day. Each time I work, I think about all the fantastic teachers who crossed my path, both here and especially in Boston, and am so grateful to have learned and practiced a lot of different techniques that help me better address my guests' situations and requests. Thanks so much for your visits and for taking the time to write and post a review for my spa.

Here is something rare and unique in a world increasingly populated by uninspired beach massage and mechanical muscular rubdowns accompanied by tinkly new age piano music at spas worldwide. Here is a classically trained massage therapist steeped in physiology and with a deep understanding of human musculature. I asked for a deep tissue massage. Often this involves some forceful elbow jamming, a painful bruising attack as an interpretation of deep. Instead today there was nuance, as if my muscles were being listened to with a fine ear and then played like an instrument with great finesse by a master musician with 25 years of applied knowledge. Fluid, graceful, responsive, understanding and yes, in-depth. Thank you, Kitzie. What an incredible treat. You are not only immensely talented but wise and kind as well. My muscles are singing your praises.

Thank you so much, deepforest, for taking the time to write such a detailed, thoughtful, and kind review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your massage, and that your muscles left the premises happier than when they arrived. And I'm beyond grateful to my many teachers over the years, especially those at the Muscular Therapy Institute, where I did my initial training, and to Mary Gail Sullivan in Watertown, MA, for her superb deep tissue continuing education workshops 23 years ago. Ben Benjamin, the founder of MTI (when it existed), insisted that we provide self-help suggestions to clients, as well as professional therapeutic massage, and over the years of my own work and dance experience, I've come to take that advice very seriously. This includes limiting my practice to no more than 2 clients a day and practicing what I preach in stretching and exercise. I love living and working in Boquete, which I've done since 2006, and am very happy to share my enjoyment of both with visitors to my spa.

I had a lovely experience here! She spends a lot of time getting to know you and what kind of massage you are looking for. She communicates really well so you feel comfortable the whole time and is clearly an expert. My back felt much better after the massage and she even taught me some exercises to help with my neck pain. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Mellymel, for taking the time to write and post a Trip Advisor review for Spa Boquete. Self-care tips and tecniques were an important part of my professional massage training at the Muscular Therapy Institute, and they've become even more important to me after 25 years of practice. I've learned a lot, both from my clients and from my own challenges, over the years, and am especially happy to share suggestions with visitors who may be far away from their usual practitioners.

As my friend was going for a hike, I decided to treat myself to a massage. Kitzie is very kind en friendly. Already during our conversation on WhatsApp I felt that I was in good hands. She wants to know your wishes and if there are sore bodyparts that need some attention.
Usually I don’t really like massages, because a lot of people use too much pressure. Kitzie kept checking if the pressure was good, even though I hadn’t told her about my previous experiences. She really focuses on you and what you want and need.
I had a great time and I would definitely recommend everyone visiting her when in Boquete

Thanks so much, Zen aficionada, for taking the time to write and post your review after your visit to Spa Boquete. Every guest has a different idea of their ideal massage, and, in my opinion, the most rewarding experience for both people is to try to come as close as possible to that idea(l). The only wish I can't manage is deep tissue massage with a whole lot of pressure, but I'm happy to refer a guest wanting that to another practitioner here in Boquete who can do that very well. Otherwise doing professional massage is a challenge and it's fun, involving intuition, training and invaluable input from my guests. I feel great gratitude as well to my many teachers over a 25+-year career, both in Boston, where I began my professional training in 1998, and in lots of other places in the world, especially Brazil, Cuba and Hawai'i.

Because of Covid ,I have not had my yearly Kitzie massage. I arrived to Boquete on Friday, and I was on Kitzie's massage table on Saturday. She is a sweet thoughtful person and eliminated my flying travel body kinks. On Sunday I was able to get back to hiking. She is very keen on focusing on areas that need attention. I highly recommend her. You definitely will come out rejuvenated.

Many, many thanks, Roxanne, for figuring out how to use the Trip Advisor Review link and for posting your comments. We've known each other for a very long time - I think about 14 years - here in Boquete. Airline seats are the worst, and I'm glad that you were able to get back to hiking in short order. Most of my guests are short-term visitors to Boquete, so it's a special treat to welcome folks over the years and discover how their lives have evolved, especially people like you, a shining star who very likely inspires much happiness in the lives of your friends and family here when you come to visit.
