Like everyone else, I am a picky massage customer, and like almost everyone else, I did this through a Groupon. Most massages are too "frou-frou" for me, so I set myself up for the deep tissue massage. My therapist was Valerie, and I did NOT think she talked too much at all. She is not a large person, but I did not realize how strong. She worked me over big time and was very persistent in working out the knots. Knots I didn't even know I had. I would definitely go back to her again, not because of her charming personality (which I didn't see much of) but because she does a damn good job.
