As a long-time sufferer of scoliosis, one of he best things I could win in a contest is a massage. Massages are one of my favorite things in life and also one of the only things that can relieve my back discomfort, tension, and soreness. I was thrilled when I won a 30-minute Being Blissful massage from Kellie at Brilliant Options. The Being Blissful massage is more of a Swedish-style massage and I was more interested in deep tissue work. I asked if I could have the In the Zone massage instead and Kellie was agreeable. My appointment was yesterday. When I arrived I was initially a bit confused if I was in the correct location as it is in a house/building that does not have a sign in the front. Even more confusing — there is a big sign for an attorney’s office to the side but I later found out the building is shared with this office. The parking lot is in the back of the building and I finally saw the sign for Brilliant Options Wellness in the back on the door to the waiting room. I entered into a relaxing, soothing, clean waiting room and was greeted by Kellie. She gave me some paperwork to fill out. After, we walked up to the beautiful room upstairs where I would be getting my massage. The room was filled with windows but the natural light was softened by curtains. Candles, oils, tasteful furniture caught my eye. We talked for a few minutes before we began the massage. It was evident here that Kellie is a health coach. This is a unique aspect of my experience with Kellie that is different than other places I have gone for a massage. I have never talked with other massage therapists as I did with Kellie about my health habits: daily water intake, nutrition, consultation with other medical professionals — like physical therapists — about my scoliosis. She seemed to genuinely care and offered helpful tips and advice. When the massage began it was clear that she knew what she was doing. It was one of the best massages I have ever received! She knew exactly how to work my back, use the perfect amount of pressure(and she checked in a few times to make sure it was ok), find the exact spots that were problematic — without me having to tell her. She spent just the right amount of time on each spot, and was able to work on my back skillfully. She also used some techniques that I’d never experienced before and that I loved. She was able to find areas in my back that I didn’t even know were sore. I was very impressed. Today my back feels brand new! I highly recommend Kellie at Brilliant Options Wellness for therapeutic massage.
