What makes your massages unique?

"The type of massage I like to give is a deep/flowing mix of treatment and relaxation. I want my clients to feel good not only on the table, but also have lasting effects. I also listen to their needs and do my best to relieve their tension and or pain in those areas. I will generally ask them before I move on to another area if it feels like I have spent enough time on their problem area."
