I've had my share of "spa" massages - trust me. I love to vacation and I love to visit spas. BUT there are times that I'm getting a massage and rolling my eyes thinking...what a waste of money. This is not a good massage!!! And that part kills me. They either don't have the skills (and still charge over $90/hr) and/or don't understand what really feels good to me (how many times do I have to think, damn, this massage is soooo much better at Back to Basics!). I found Back to Basics through a mailer coupon that was $40 for the first massage for first time clients. OMG, that was THE BEST MASSAGE I've ever had. It's at a chiro's office and more "medical" than "spiritual/spa retreat" but the actual service is so much better. I can't say enough - just try it for yourself. I've recommended it to my husband, former roomie, my sister...you get the picture. And the first time $40 - how could you say no?
