I booked a "Therapeutic Table Massage" with Shannon Trudeau and had a very traumatic experience…read more When I arrived I explained to her I like firm pressure and was having issues with my shoulders and neck and upper back being very tight and I would like to primarily focus on those areas. The first 30 minutes of my massage were her guiding some sort of yoga nidra exercise with no actual massaging. I had to ask her when the massage would actually start. She seemed to have a huge ego about the request and continued her guided exercise. Once she did start "massaging" me, it was just her placing her hands on my body very lightly and doing static holds on trigger points. I explained to her I would Like more muscle stimulation in the form of a faster deeper massage but she didn't listen to my requests and kept doing the things she was doing that I did not ask for. She didn't pay attention tho the specific areas that I came in to address and spent most of the time on my arms and legs. She talked the majority of the massage and kept instructing me to take deep breaths. I do not come in to this for a therapy session which is what it felt like. The table was cold and so was the room. I had to ask her to turn the heat on the table mid session because I was freezing and her hands were freezing. She did not seem to have any knowledge of anatomy, massage, or draping. After the session was over she sat me down and wanted to go over her "findings" and it felt really uncomfortable having someone tell me all the areas in my body she noticed I was tight but not actually using the time I paid for to resolve any of those issues. I did not book a trigger point massage, a reiki session, or a therapy session. I mentioned to her multiple times I was not wanting the type of "massage" she gave me and she said that "energetically we may not be a good fit" - in my option this is such a rude thing to say to someone who was very clear about the massage I wanted to receive and requested it multiple times only to be completely ignored - probably because this person is not educated enough or capable of doing actual massage. This practitioner is borderline harmful and should not be practicing any healing modality. I felt disgusting after leaving her session. I felt completely ignored and judged. I debated weather or not I should leave this review but after experiencing this I wanted other people to know the potential harms of booking with this practitioner. Please remove her from "therapeutic table massage" because she didn't actually massage me and this is really misleading for customers.

Kathryn is uniquely capable with a deep knowledge of the muscular-skeletal system, diverse massage therapeutic practices and just a warm and kind person at heart.

First of all, I was super excited to try this place. My normal waxing place is a little far from my…read morenew apartment, and Wax Poetic was like 10 minutes away. This was easily the worst Brazilian wax I've ever had. For starters, my esthetician did not leave the room for me to get undressed and get on the table. I have never had that happen to me, and made me uncomfortable from the jump. For context, I've been waxing for about 2 years now. This wax hurt more than when I tried sugaring a few months back, which hurt like noooobody's business. My esthetician pulled almost every strip off in two pulls, which prolonged the pain. I've had estheticians sometimes pull strips in two rips if it's a big one, but never EVERY SINGLE ONE. At the end of the wax, she went back and did a few clean up strips AND tweezed. I was confident that she did a good job, even though she didn't offer a mirror to look at her work. As soon as I got into my car, I lifted my dress just to peek. When I tell you PATCHES! I have NEVER had an esthetician miss so. many. hairs. And not like thin, lighter hairs that the wax can't grab. Thick, coarse hairs that definitely could have and should have been removed. I was so disappointed. Not to mention, this is the most expensive Brazilian I've ever had ($62 BEFORE TIP). Definitely not worth the money, and I won't be back.

He explained the difference between deep pressure and deep tissue and asked me which I wanted--deep tissue I said, and he got to work. At first I was a little baffled by the technique because I've never experienced true myofacial release before but one day later, I'm a convert. My whole body is more limber and more fluid than it's been in years. Not going to lie though--there were times when I wanted to laugh because it was a little ticklish and cry because it was so painful. Think the toughest parts of a foam rolling routine but for an entire session. A few times I asked for modifications and he quickly obliged. So I totally know that I could've avoided any pain altogether but it was the type of hurt where you just know is doing the body good. And as I type this, I'm grateful I stuck through it. Highly highly recommend Marvin if youre looking to fine tune your body and create more openness so you can show up better in the rest of life. Also, don't miss the curious critters when you come in! It's a whimsical wonderland!
