She came to my house with her massage table, added some aromatherapy for full relaxation and after a quick chat; knew exactly what to do. She truly surprised me with her strength, knowledge, and efficiency. I end up getting a mixture of a classic, relax and sports massage. I could say that my low back pain was completely gone next day. What a relief!
