Now and Zen Bodyworks

What a great way to slip out of the rainy day gloom this weekend! I came in brain dead after an exam with tense back and shoulders and walked out warm, relaxed, and not feeling like I was 90-​something years old– hooray! :)
The place is a suite room inside a big building (so you’ll have to go inside and take the elevator or stairs up), and the room is a cozy, candle-​lit set up for one. There’s a form to fill out where you want the focuses to be (be it legs, upper back, etc.), but don’t worry– she covers everything anyways! Then up with the trance-​y tribal /​nature /​hippie music from the laptop, and Brenda (hopefully I remember her name correctly, sorry if not!) knows what she’s doing– she teased out knots I never knew existed~ I like how she massaged my arms and legs while I was on my tummy and again when I flipped to my back. And that neck massage. *shiver* yesssss: D she will ask how the pressure is, and you can tell her to change it any time.
A warning– you’ll get a head massage (which is good) but her hands will be oily from the massage oil (not so good)~ it didn’t look like I went and greased me ‘do, but my hair felt kind of yucky for the afternoon! She pats off the oil off your body, so no worries for that. For those edging away from massages due to modesty reasons, I felt very comfortable and safe (and of course, relaxed), since she made sure everything was respectfully covered :)
I used a Groupon steal deal ($ 30 for their usual $ 85 one hour massage), but they do have random specials. $ 85 is way too pricey for a student like me, and you can probably find a fancier place with that. I can’t easily say this was the best massage I’ve ever had, but I was happy with the groupon deal. But if you want to splurge a bit, 1 hour deep and Swedish tissue massages are $ 65 until December ’15, so what are you waiting for? Go and take a one hour mini vacation to a world of relaxation and zen: D
