Lorin was incredible. I arrived a few minutes late and she was very kind and accommodating, even offering to give me the full amount of time scheduled for the massage (60 minutes) in spite of the fact that I had arrived late. The massage itself was one of, if not the best, that I have ever had. Lorin listened to my concerns and trouble spots and paid close attention to them throughout the massage. She also provided insight throughout the massage about other issues I've been having. Clearly, she is an expert in her field. I received a package of five massages for Mother's Day, and I can't wait to return for another visit!

You were the perfect blend of working out tight spots but also keeping it relaxing. I love the smell of the product you use because it is such a light fragrance. The hot towels were a great touch to help reduce the amount of oil on you while adding a nice relaxing element. You were friendly but also quiet. I thought you were really one of the best therapist I have had!

Lorin did an amazing job targeting my trouble areas (neck and back) and was still able to fit in a full body massage within the 60 minute time frame. I enjoyed the heated towels and left feeling very relaxed.
Re ambiance, care has been taken to decorate the suite and it's quite comfortable. Unfortunately the office building in which it's housed, including restroom area, is incredibly stark and industrial. Not of significant importance at all, and probably can't be helped, but it doesn't add to ambiance.
All in all I would highly recommend Lorin and her services, and hope to return.

My experience surpassed all expectations. Lorin asked about my key areas of concern. She listened and especially targeted those areas. It was a relaxing and enlightening experience. I had no idea that my range of motion was so limited. Lorin is very professional. The muscle tension and stress brought on by 8 hours a day working at a desk and staring at a monitor was taken away. I look forward to my next session with Lorin. She has proven to me that she can workout all those knots and kinks without me feeling the muscle aches and pains the next day. That is a first for me.
