The whole experience was relaxing. Laurie takes the time to get to know you and the reason you’re there. Very personalized! She knew my neck was in bad shape stiff from driving a lot so she used the “cupping” technique. The tightness seemed to release almost instantly and I can turn my head to see the backside of my shoulders again (which I haven’t in months!) The circular red “hickey” lasted a few days...that didn’t matter since I was feeling better despite all the teasings from my husband and coworkers. I’d do it again!! Thanks Laurie!
