I was overly kind with my star rating because Brittanie was so amazing working on my problem spots in my shoulders and arms and helped me so much. However, I’ve never had a therapist talk throughout the entire session and on pretty heavy topics. I really just wanted to relax in silence and didn’t know how to tell her I didn't want to talk about politics, abortion, murder, our my career during my session (or anything else for that matter). It was a real downer and don’t know how I could go back which is a shame because she’s so good at what she does! I wish your intake form specified personal preferences for communications during sessions but again, in my long history of getting massages, I’ve never had a chatty therapist before and was really taken off guard. If you can address this with her sensitively, I think it would make her a much better therapist.
I have received massages from LaVida for a number of years. The owner and staff makes their clients feel comfortable. The facility is clean. Massages have always been exceptional! I would recommend LaVida to men and women alike!
I requested a sports or deep tissue massage for severe back spasms I specifically noted that I generally require and need heavy pressure during a massage but basically recieved a rub down I am dissatisfied with my experience and felt like I wasted my time and money I left the spa in the same amount and type of pain i entered
Both services were great! This was my first facial, I felt comfortable and at ease. The massage therapist listened well to my needs. She worked throughly yet quickly; it was deep at times but remained relaxing.
Abby was not very personable. She found out what areas to work on and the rest was massage talk: is the temperature good, turn over, and we are done take your time getting dressed. Never saw her again. I thought she would meet me outside the door with water, asking how I felt or how was the massage? The massage was decent but the prices of massages these days, I would expect more.
