I scheduled a Sunday morning massage, mostly for relaxation, and Natasha did a wonderful job of asking questions, focusing on areas of concern, applying the right pressure, and even finding knots I didn’t know I had.
I’ve felt sore and almost sickly after some massages I’ve had in the past, but I felt fantastic after this massage and throughout the day.
I need massages more often!
