Tanya knows how to engage in conversation and/or remind the receiver to just breath and allow yourself to relax! She is very strong and open to modifying the pressure.

Would like a darker/dimmer room with less bright light. More work spent closer to the outline of my spine. Overall decent massage. I’d go back.

Tanya is amazing! She made sure I was relaxed and checked on me a few times during the massage. My body was so stiff when I got there, my back and feet give me so many problems and I have a hard time finding relief for my pain.Tanya was able to relieve my pain while still making the massage enjoyable! I will definitely be back!

Tanya is very good. Asks the right questions. However, the room can be a little noisy because it is located in a fitness studio. The room is private but you still what is going on. This was not an issue for me but if you're looking for complete silence in a room, then you may want to rethink.

The massage was thorough and felt amazing. There was a bit of background noise from a class that was taking place but it didn't bother me and Tanya turned the music up to keep with the ambiance. The massage targeted the sides of my body evenly and was a great experience.
