So, a few days ago....even though I COULD NOT get an insurance receipt...I decided to give this student of the massage arts, a try:
For the rare times, I get an under 30 lady, I always come in with modest expectations and positively worded feedback. I didn't have to do this with Alice. She absolutely knocked my expectations, right out of the ballpark.
I didn't come in asking or expecting deep tissue, as I wasn't sure she would be allowed to, under 2200 hours of training. She started off, with the exquisite pinching technique, starting at my lower back, and working up to the middle of my shoulder blades, a few times. When it switched to kneading, she repeatedly asked if the pressure was deep enough. But....her hands were so incredibly soft, her movements were so smooth and border line euphoric....I kept saying the pressure was perfect. She kept politely and softly saying "thank-you". It's like the knots in my back were melting....due to a mix of Swedish and Lomi Lomi style fluidity. And....I absolutely love, when they do much of the upper body massage, behind your head, hands flowing down the back, over the glutes, around the hips and back again.
Therapists who can't issue receipts, should take note. There are people, who sometimes can get a massage without insurance....but you damn well better be excellent at both massage and customer service.
Massage Therapists: Want to know what makes the best, the best? Go get a massage from those ladies and learn. Alice has practiced, practiced, practiced. And it showed.
Lastly, out of respect to the manager/owner. YMMV. Myself; I left very, very happy....
With My massage!!!
