Before my massage with Mia, I had only had one other Thai Massage and it wasn't my favorite. In addition to a few old sports injuries, I also spend a lot of time on my feet cooking so my body requires extra love often. I hold stress in my shoulders and back and can become very stiff quickly. When I first saw Mia's petite frame, I wondered if she would be able to get into all of my books and crannies, if she would be able to handle my curvy frame, but I knew by her light and loving energy that I would end up feeling good no matter what. You know that old saying "Never judge a book by its cover"? Mia may be petite, but she is STRONG! She got into places that I didn't even know where tense or stuck, and she did it with the slightest of movements and touches. She is a great listener to what your needs are and is very in-tune having a very good sense of how much my body can and cannot take. I have had three massages from Mia and every time, I leave her hands feeling relaxed, loose, and light. There are a ton of places to get massages here in Santa Monica and Venice, but Mia comes to me and that means everything with my busy schedule! read more
