I called up at 7 pm after a long workday resulting significant back and shoulder pain. I needed a good massage and most everywhere else was either closed or booked. Thankfully this establishment was open and had an immediate opening. Aesthetics aside, I immediately got an odd vibe from the place, completely aside of course from the significant language barrier with the one employee I met. It just seemed like a cheap-construction spa. But hey! Maybe it was going to be a low-price hidden gem with sacrifices on decorations to afford excellent employees. This was not the case. The massage started off with some unorthodox rythmic pelvic body-shoving followed by a much-needed dive into my neck and upper back. Over the 60 minutes there was focus on my back, shoulders, arms, and legs. But one thing that made me incredibly uncomfortable was a recurring focus on my hips and upper thigh. By any standards of therapeutic massage, there was some unnacceptably innapropriate contact. No bueno. After not massaging my feet or head, and with only about 5 minutes left in the appointment, the masseuse began rubbing my lower stomach. By this point it was already quite clear what the intent of this action was. I politely requested that she work on my feet for a few minutes, at which point the alarm went off. Although my scapula felt great, I was much more stressed than when I entered. Go with your gut: This place is creepy.

So I have some idea of how a decent massage should be. However, my experience less than expected. The therapist was friendly, but she did not listen. I told the therapist that I did not want any stretching just massage the areas of concern. She stretched my right shoulder after telling her not to stretch anything. Actually, right now I'm putting ice on my right shoulder, because it hurts. Also, On the intake form, I showed the areas that I wanted her to focus on, but she skipped my right leg. I hate doing this, but I felt that I needed to say something. This was a bad experience.

She's very friendly and good at what she does -- you can feel the difference in your body immediately. Appointments can be made via email, calling, or texting; but be sure to give her about 48 hours notice. I went to her Mass Ave location, but she also does home massages. For my visit, I had an hour-long Swedish massage and I have to say that it's definitely one of the better ones I had. She was very professional and asked about my preferences and needs. When I told her about my upper back scoliosis, she didn't automatically avoid working that area or completely ignore what I said (like some other masseuses have done), she just gently worked it until it got better. My shoulders and neck honestly haven't felt that relaxed and comfortable in a long time. I also asked her to focus on my hands and feet and she did a good job. The only reason why this isn't a full 5 Stars is because of the atmosphere -- it just wasn't very conducive to relaxation. In all fairness though, that is not Lily's fault. She just happens to share the office with a therapist(?), so the decor felt a little out of place for a massage. The location is very convenient though; it's right on Mass Ave, with loads of metered parking nearby and within reach of several bus stops. Overall, I would definitely visit Lily again and would recommend her services to anyone. She does a great job and I've already bought the $75 for $50 Yelp Deal for my next appointment. Pro-Tip: It's cash or PayPal only -- no cards yet. Roughly $65 for 60 minutes.
