Had a wonderful time, felt comfortable instantly upon entering and my bod felt great afterwards with a pain point already feeling much better.
by Martin on May 24
I was gifted with this delightful, gentle, massage administered by Melanie. My exposed skin was a little too cool at times but the table was warm and the ambiance otherwise nice.

So grateful for another fabulous massage by Melanie - definitely the most skillful and knowledgeable massage therapist I have ever experienced in my long life. Only wish I lived closer to be able to schedule more frequently.
