I'll just start by saying that this was hands down the best massage I have ever had.
I found Your Stellar Life because I was looking for a place that I could book online (phone anxiety is real lol). There were a couple of different options but I chose this one because she has an amazing first time rate for a pre-paid massage, and it was super easy to make an appointment at a time that was convenient for me.
I got there a little early, and Laura came out to greet me almost instantly. She has a suite inside of a building, and although the building itself is not terribly impressive, I really liked how she had decorated her individual spot... pleasing colors, a few touches of glitz but not over the top, and of course pleasant lighting, music, etc. I did the paperwork and we both asked each other a few questions. She explained to me about different options she had, and I also decided to do an add-on for hot stone massage.
The massage itself was AMAZING. She did a great job of checking in with me and talking enough to make me feel comfortable, but not so much that I couldn't relax. She is also the first person who has ever really been able to deliver on the super deep pressure that I like, and the hot stones really elevated the whole experience even further. I was so relaxed at the end of the hour that I think I could have fallen asleep almost instantly.
After the massage, she gave me information about her various services and pricing, but was absolutely not pushy - which I SO appreciate. Of course she wants to make money, because it's her livelihood - but I got the impression that she's actually really passionate about massage therapy and is really there to try and connect with and help people.
The only thing you might want to know is that she does have a very sweet, tiny old dog, who she sometimes brings with her so he's not alone all day. I found him to be super endearing and I barely noticed him except when coming in and leaving, but if you're highly allergic, maybe take a benadryl first. (That'll relax you even more, right? haha).
Lastly, I feel like it's so important to support small business owners in our community and so if the rest wasn't convincing enough, I'd also encourage you do go here rather than one of the bigger companies where you're just one of many clients, and where the therapists see so many different people that they just can't offer such a personalized experience.
Thank you, Laura! I will definitely be back to Your Stellar Life. read more
