Ani comes to Brooklyn, YAY!...although I would go to WHEREVER, as often as I could for a massage experience by Ani :)
So...For my first massage in my home, I had house guests (3 people, 2 dogs) and a newly-broken wrist. My orthopedist recommended a massage, and I was lucky to have already previously booked Ani on her Brooklyn schedule, weeks before! As Ani set up and waited for me to be ready, she filled our space with confidence and tranquility. She was massaging my senior dog's hips as I entered the room, and the puppy who previously greeted her with a leap through the air over our heads, was curled up on a mat, watching. Besides the fracture, my muscles and ligaments were sore, tight and my movements were awkwardly imbalanced. I psychologically braced myself for what I thought would be inevitable discomfort (due to my injuries), but good-for-my-body treatment. Then, Ani listened patiently and carefully to my list of body issues, and began my massage. SURPRISE! Not only did I not experience any discomfort at all, but a few minutes into the 90 minutes Ani seemed to know just "where to do what". She also used different ointments on different parts of my body, such as something special for my sprained ankle, and she did something else on my stiff shoulder...still throughout the whole 90 minutes keeping a rhythm and flow with all her movements. She checked in with me about my level of comfort and even about the music. I just sank into and felt like I was floating through the experience (which was unimaginable at that time considering my broken wrist). My whole body felt like its parts could actually work together again. I also felt so much more positive mentally. I scheduled and looked forward to my second Ani massage which was just as wonderful. Ani is a truly gifted healer. Its the first time I've ever had a massage by the same person more than once and I realize this benefit as well as Ani has a great memory for what she learns about an individual body & I am lucky to have found her to help my healing process. I look forward to my next scheduled massage. Thank you Ani. I typed my review with both of my hands !!! read more
