I had a prenatal massage with Evelyn yesterday. It was my first prenatal massage. I was 21 weeks and I did not know what to expect. Evelyn was such a sweetheart! She's so soft spoken that sometimes it's hard to hear her but she's so polite and accommodating. She throughly explained the massage to me to make sure I knew exactly what to expect during this prenatal massage. She started off very gentle and didn't put much pressure on back. I had to ask for more pressure. I normally love deep tissue massages and hate Swedish massage because it's too soft. She was more than understanding and made adjustments as requested. She explained that most first time pregnant women are often afraid of too much pressure on their back/ belly so she always start off soft and adjust as needed.
I had my massage on my side. I expected the typical donut type tables for the preggo belly but she explained that it was better to start on my side as this was my first prenatal massage. I'm glad I listened. The scalp and neck part of the massage was incredible!
The massage itself was excellent! I felt so much better! So relaxing and my muscles feel much less tight.
One thing worth mentioning was the lack of aroma therapy. Most spas smell amazing the minute you walk in. They usually had scented candles to set the mood for relaxation. I was expecting that but that wasn't the case here! It was really odd. It didn't have that spa smell during my visit and I kept thinking I should take deeper breaths to inhale the lavender scent but there was nothing there. Whomp whomp!
The spa was very clean. The dressing room was spotless. There was someone there cleaning it at all times. The receptionist was super nice and friendly.
I would def come again!
