Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Ananda Massage Therapy is a two-time 2019 award winner in Nevada!

When you need a great massage in Reno, you need Ananda Massage Therapy.

Ananda Massage Therapy has received dozens of reviews on six verified sites with an average rating of 4.94 stars, earning them a perfect Rating Score™ of 100.00 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top 100 businesses and the number one massage therapist in all of Nevada!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“My experience at Ananda Massage was great! The environment is really nice and relaxing! Marianne sat down with me and listened to what exactly was going on. My muscles gather tension in my upper back, resulting in common headaches. She then said that she would dedicate the entire session to my upper back, shoulders and neck. She stretched everything out and very well relieved a lot of built-up tension. [I will] definitely [be] going back!” – Sierra P.

Not Your Average Massage Therapy Center

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Marianne Vania, the owner of Ananda Massage Therapy.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Ananda Massage Therapy a one-of-a-kind massage therapy center in Nevada. Here’s what Marianne had to say:

“I’ve been practicing for almost 20 years now, and I still LOVE what I do!!!!! I participate in continuing education about specialized techniques and learn as much as I can about the body; I continue to evolve. Through my specialization of Ashiatsu, I use my feet to create a different pressure, which is more effective than other types of therapies. Ananda in Sanskrit for ‘a state of bliss or joy!’ It comes from obtaining knowledge and living consciously with intention and action. It’s due to a manifestation of these things coming together.”

Marianne went on to tell us that she has more than 20 years and 20,000 hours of hands-on experience under her belt, and said:

“My approach is way more therapeutic — I have clients who have injuries, and I help them heal and recover. I elevate the awareness! I bring awareness on how their body can heal and on how they move through space. I can’t help people until they help themselves…”

We also asked Marianne what their mission is at Ananda Massage Therapy and how they work to make the world a better place. Marianne shared with us that they aim to help their clients achieve better living through massage, to help them establish mind-body connections and to improve the quality of their clients’ lives so that they can keep doing what they love to do.

Building Success With a User-Friendly Website and Online Booking

Marianne attributes Ananda Massage Therapy’s strong online reputation to their commitment to their user-friendly, visually pleasing website, as well as the fact that they offer online booking, which has helped them create a solid, effective online presence.

When we asked Marianne how Ananda Massage Therapy has gotten their name out there outside of building a powerful online reputation, she said:

“I do not find clients; they find me. Technology has helped me to make sure that I put the right receptors out…”

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Ananda Massage Therapy has. When we asked Marianne what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“Make sure you exist on all of the platforms out there; have an existence. You want your customers to be able to find you! Have an online pulse!”


Congratulations to the team at Ananda Massage Therapy for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Marianne, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Ananda Massage Therapy in Reno. Visit their website today!
