| - What a total hidden gem! I went in today for a reflexology treatment and one hour massage (based off the glowing yelp reviews!).
I was pleasantly greeted by a young woman (she must get worked over daily with massages, as she was ridiculously nice), asked to fill out a brief form, and even though I was pretty early for my appointment, Jason took me right away. Which was awesome. I hate to wait, even when I'm way early.
We started with the reflexology treatment, and WOW. I have had what spas and clinics call "reflexology", but this was the real deal. You sit in a chair to start with your feet soaking, while getting a shoulder, neck, arm and hand massage. I was zoned at this point. The pressure was perfect (meaning very firm). Jason really knows body work, as he honed in on my rough spots without me having to mention it. Which was also fabulous, since I was quickly losing the ability to speak. lol
Then, you lie on the table, fully clothed with your pants rolled up to your knees (SO happy I wore sweats), with a nice warm towel covering your torso. The reflexology massage was AMAZING. Jason also massaged my legs up to my knees AND, did head, face, ears... Pure bliss. Honestly, at the end, I realized my respiration and heart rate were super low, as I was soooo insanely relaxed. This rarely (ok, never) happens for me, as I tend to be rather, ahem, high energy. I don't think I'm even this mellow when sleeping and dreaming of kittens and rainbows.
At this point, a massage was probably overkill, or so I thought. At the end of the second hour, I thought I was on the moon, and could have been, for all I knew. The massage was totally solid.
The owner (Mary) spoke to me when I was leaving, and what a sweet, charming, and smart lady!
If you want to support our local small businesses, get an incredible reflexology massage and most excellent body massage, go to Mary's. You won't be disappointed.
