I first heard of this place on a local Facebook group and since she was offering a grand opening promo for your first massage, I decided to check it out. I booked a 90 minute massage through the website and then I received an email confirmation as well as an opportunity to fill out a client intake form ahead of time.
This business is located in a Victorian home that houses different types of businesses. When looking at it from the street, there's a long driveway to the left of the building that leads to a free parking lot. When entering the building, you can find Kristin's office by heading up the stairs and she's the first door on the right.
Her setup is lovely and looks so clean and inviting. I love the decor. She briefly sat down with me to see what my needs were and to see if I had any injuries she should know about.
The massage table is warmed up and she has a heater going during the massage. The massage was so great! Her massage strokes were slower than I'm used to and I did have my doubts at first but I quickly realized that that's what made the massage relaxing yet effective. She knew which points to hit and work out. I caught myself falling asleep several times. I liked how she changed the pressure throughout different parts of my body, because it felt like the massage was tailored and personalized to me. She also massaged my hips which no one had ever done before. I didn't know how much I needed that area worked on until today!
Kirstin uses essential oils for the massage and they smell amazing. It smelled sort of minty and my body felt minty/tingly up the point when I drove myself home. When it was time to lay on my back, she asked if I wanted an eye pillow. I appreciated that since without an eye pillow, I usually feel so "exposed" for some reason while being massaged.
After the massage, she provided a glass of water and then she took the time to talk with me about things she noticed during the massage. She let me know which areas needed a little more pressure and which areas seemed to be tight. She also answered my questions about massage therapy in general and gave me some aftercare instructions. I felt like I was sitting there chatting with a friend. She didn't try to rush me out of there at all.
I would definitely like to return for another massage and she said that the next appointment would be 25% off. Her prices are reasonable and you have the option to pay after the massage, meaning you don't have to hold your reservation with a credit card. She also accepts Venmo which is handy. Can't wait to return! read more
