This was my first massage. Letia explained the whole process beforehand and answered all of my questions. As this was my first experience, I wasn't relaxed, however, I could feel the muscles warm up as the massage progressed. She noticed that I was tensing up in some places and applied less pressure. I was a little sore after, however, it'll probably take a few more sessions before I can enjoy the experience. I would recommend Anointed Handz
