Wow! Yesterday, I had the most amazing deep tissue massage from Wendy. It was so good, and she got so deep, but always paid attention to my body and was sure to ask if I was OK. I was pleasantly surprised by every aspect of this experience from beginning to end.
First of all, they have a website where you can make your appointments online. You don't have to talk to anyone at all. As someone who hates the anxiety caused by being on the phone with someone and also having to look through multiple calendars, this was a huge plus for me. I booked my appointment online, received a confirmation, and received several reminders leading up to my appointment.
I arrived for my 2:30 appointment about 10 minutes before it started. The check-in process was super easy, and after using the bathroom, which was very clean, I was escorted to a quiet and very clean room. I stripped down to my underwear, and within minutes, windy, entered the room. Prior to her entering, however, the person who checked me in, was sure to ask if there were specific body parts and areas which I wanted to focus on. Once Wendy entered, she pretty much got to work.
She started with a hot towel on my back, before applying oil and beginning the full massage. From the moment she first touched me, I knew I was in good hands... Pun intended.
I don't think I've ever had a deep tissue massage quite that thorough. I've had a few injuries and things this year, so my back, neck, and shoulders have been subject to lots of tightness, soreness, and knots. She sensed all of that and paid very close attention to those areas. There were times that she got super deep and she would check in with me multiple times to make sure I was OK. She might've been a little bit, surprised by my pain tolerance, but I was grateful that she checked in because I've had really painful massages before where the masseuse didn't even care.
After the back upper body, she worked her way to my low back, thigh, and legs, which was especially nice. By the time I flipped over, I was so relaxed and pain-free that I could've taken a nap. By the time the entire massage was done, I wished I had an extra 10 to 15 minutes, just to take a nap and recover. I was in such a Zen state and my body felt so great that I didn't want to get up.
When I came back out to the front, the same person who checked me in, asked me how everything went. She also shared that they have different packages available for guests, to help you make the most of your money.
Overall, it was an incredible experience. I woke up today feeling fantastic. As is the case with any deep tissue massage, there are a little bit of soreness in areas where she got really deep, but the soreness is very surface level. The pain that was deep in my muscles and body beneath those areas is nonexistent right now and I'm super grateful. I can't wait until the next time I come back.
Other important notes: parking is easy and free. There are several spots right outside of the entrance. The waiting area is calm and cute with plenty of seating. They played calming music in a relatively dark room during the massage, which was very appreciated. Bring cash for tips, or you can do so via Venmo, but cash is preferred.
