There I was! Jet lagged and needing recovery!…read more I stumbled onto this Thai Massage place. GREAT massage using tiger balm and very strong pressure as requested. Price was amazing as was the massage. Don't let her size fool you. Tavi is very technically affluent and can find the knots. Totally legit massage....no funny business. If that's your thing go somewhere else.

Services rendered: One-hour deep tissue massage…read more Pros: 1) I was able to get a one-hour massage through their online booking calendar, which was quite handy. 2) Their website is great since they have mini-biographies of all of the massage therapists. I was able to read a little bit about mine. 3) I was assigned to Jason, who gave one of the most effective deep tissue massages I've ever had. I told him how sore I was, and he worked my neck and shoulders very well. 4) Jason was very communicative and professional. I will ask for him again when I go back. 5) The facilities were very clean. Cons: None. Summary: I decided to take a chance on a cheaper massage place in the heart of Helsinki, and it was a major success. I highly recommend this place.

We made appointments for the next day thru the Facebook message app. We still don't know why we only got 60 minutes when we always do 90 but it was still wonderful. They really helped get the kinks out & helped w/ all the knots we had from traveling. We highly recommend the Chiva Thai Spa for working out the kinks.

I told her I don't care what the person looks like, I just need reflexology because my feet were KiILLING me. She stood in the room while I undressed to my underware (yes, this is weird, but I'm a mom so I'm not shy) the lady leaves and a young guy comes in. He asks if I like hard or medium. He starts walking on my back. Then starts massaging me way too hard. I say "stop too hard" several times, but he didn't understand, and was almost bruising me. The massage was okay most of the time, but when it became super painful, it wasn't good or relaxing. He never rubbed my feet, which was the reason I went for a massage. Part of the massage was good, and it helped me feel better, but really I needed reflexology, not a torture hour. The experience was strange.

I like high-concept creative hair and was impressed by their listening to the customer, discussion throughout and great technical solutions.
