Becky was great! I had coordinated a weekend trip at The Cabin on Strawberry Hill as part of…read moreproposing to my girlfriend then reached out to Becky for a couples massage. She was prompt via email (which is a big plus in my book), professional, and extremely accommodating with my last minute and finicky requests. We accidentally arrived 15 minutes early but she was ready to go and got us taken care of. This was my girlfriends first massage and she was very nervous going in. Becky was her masseuse and she came out happy and relaxed. A colleague of Becky's did my massage and was equally wonderful. I am athletic and have a very tight neck and back. She did some serious digging(at my request), exposed me to some completely new techniques, and I left happy and limber. The entire experience, from ambiance to the actual massage, was great. I totally recommend Massage By the Fire!

I've had every type of massage from everyone from a spa trained masseuse (basically just lie there…read moreand nap for an hour while they trail their hands over your body) to hard core massage therapists (one actually gave me a nose bleed) and acupuncturists (my fear of needles somehow doesn't extend to acupuncture). I have to say this is the most amazing massage I've ever had! The woman used a couple techniques I'd never had before and a few of my favorites. I was incredibly relaxed even when she was doing the deep work. She took the time before we started to find out why I was there, not just what was physically bothering me but any stress I was carrying. I went in with lower back, neck, and shin pain as well as nervous/anxious energy about an upcoming event I didn't feel prepared for. I walked in a ball of nerves and pain and left floating. I felt emotionally clearer and physically pain free. I will definitely be back again. Gonna make this a regular monthly treat.

THIS STUFF. I have never stuck to a skin regimen in my life, before picking up a serum and…read moremoisturizer pretty much at random and watching my neck wrinkles disappear over two weeks. Guys, I was seriously planning on getting Juvederm or other filler. Because of some incredibly affordable (for handfilled custom beauty products), I don't need it. My skin is incredibly soft. I have used everything, including La Mer. Meta Skin Care products are better, cleaner and get better results than anything I've ever used. I love the fresh feeling of the Dew Drops, the intense hydration of the Transformation Cream, the luxurious eye and lip treat (which has made me look like I got lip injections!). I also really appreciate no/minimal fragrance or essential oil. And Nicole, the creator of the line, is SO NICE. We did a virtual consult. I'm a customer for life.

Maribel also dyed my eyebrows which I forgot I had. It's a bit shocking when you walk out the door, but I'm loving having eyebrows again.

It was a pretty easy one so it took more time to set up than to do the actual tattoo but I had a great time chatting with Shane through out the process. I have a few more complicated pieces I want done including a cover up that I will definitely be coming back here for. DISCLAIMER: The cut on my leg in the photo was NOT a result of the tattoo.
