Doris is a great massage therapist. She's reasonably priced, very pleasant, is friendly but doesn't talk during your massage (unless that's what you like), and does a really good job. She's attentive to your individual needs and usually asks at the beginning of each appointment which areas need to be focused on and what you want.
Her location in the Kangas Sauna is kind of awesome - it's convenient to go for a sauna and hot tub before or after your appointment. Her space is kind of small though, and can get pretty warm if the sun is shining in through the windows (placed high - no one can see in.) She does her best to keep the temperature comfortable in there with fans and stuff, but there have been a few times I've gone and found myself a little warmer than my ideal, though not uncomfortable.
If you're looking for a real zen kind of atmosphere, look elsewhere. Her room is pretty cluttered and cramped and is very heavily decorated in a sea shore motif. However, this doesn't bother me at all, since once I'm on the table my eyes are closed and I'm off in my own little world anyway.
You don't get the typical "spa" kind of experience here but Doris provides a really excellent service. She's not difficult to schedule either and is available at a pretty wide range of hours.
Come with cash or a cheque - no Interac or credit card processing. If you have insurance get a receipt - she's a RMT so her services are claimable though she doesn't do direct billing. read more
