My Soothing Massage

My Soothing Massages shares the facility with another massage service, Hands Best Friend. (See that review I wrote). Faun takes time to understand your needs and although she has been a masseuse for many years, she continues to educate herself on the latest developments in Chinese therapy, kinetics, and reflexology. She will give you good advice on things you can do in your every day life to help prevent or irritate a reoccurring problem. She clearly cares about her patience.
The ambiance of the facility as part of the Serenity Studio is quaint and homey. She mostly works days and an occasional weekend. If you have your own massage bed, she will make house calls. She works by appointment only. Her rates seem reasonable. I saw her initially through a discount program but would go back for full price when needed.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her. However, she and her partner have a funny thing about time. The hour appointment is really only 45 min on the table. Which isn’t bad if you are prepared for that, but I was disappointed when I got up to dress and saw there was still time on the clock… I had booked two hours back to back to get a full work up and at exactly at the hour and a half mark, we were done. I was so relaxed, I didn’t want to get all «mad»…hey get back in here and finish up. So I just didn’t tip as much. I don’t think she was intentionally trying to cut my time short, I think she and her partner have just gotten in the habit of booking appts back to back, so the 45 min is about what it works out to with people changing clothes and changing the linens for the next appointment.
But as I said, I would return to Faun… I would just make sure I had the right expectations going into it.
