I booked a deep tissue couple's massage for Mother's Day. My mom has never had a massage and I thought it would be nice. I can't lie; I was very nervous about this experience for her because massages can be hit or miss. Let's start:
- Booking the appointment was very easy! I called Debbie, but there was no answer. Her voicemail message said I could text her, so I did. She was prompt and responded within 15 min. They were booked over Mother's Day Weekend, but our timing was flexible. We ended up scheduling a weekday afternoon appointment.
- We got there a little early. The location was inside a suite in an office building, which threw mom off a bit, but definitely a very MINOR detail. The room was dimly lit with a couch, water and snacks. We walked in and sat down. Debbie had stepped out and walked in and greeted us while we were filling out the massage intake form. If you've never been to a massage, you may not have known to fill out the massage intake form. We waited a little for the other massage therapist to arrive.
- The massage itself was great!! It was relieving and not painful for a deep tissue. I have a ton of knots and tightness in my upper back, shoulders, and neck. Most massages come with a little pain to achieve relief. I asked for medium pressure, but I wish I would've ask for firmer pressure. My mom enjoy the massage as well. She was definitely sore the next day, where as I wasn't.
Overall, I would definitely return to Minksa for a deep tissue. read more
