I have gotten a lot of massages over the years and even went to school for it, but I have never received a prenatal massage before today. It was a little disappointing not being able to lay on my belly, but that is by no means their fault, it's this big baby inside me saying no-way-jose! I am 38 weeks pregnant and have had back pain for the past 2 months straight so I thought this would be a damn good idea.\r
It was!\r
I was really happy with my masseuse, Tanya. She was so amazing, explaining why she couldn't give me more pressure or massage certain spots, because of this whole pregnancy thing.\r
She spent a lot of time on my back and really worked out a lot of pained spots. it felt soooooo good. I haven't had much foot or leg pain but that didn't mean she left those out! I have never had my feet massaged the way she did it, perhaps it was my side angle, but it was really nice. I wished I could be in there all day. I came out and made another appointment for next week and will do so til the baby is born! She was AWESOME!\r
The spa was nice too. It was calming, a nice chocolate brown instead of all the clean sterile white or 90's sage green walls you see at all the other spas. It was clean, well set up, and they didn't make you feel uncomfortable at all. I have been to some spas where you change and then have to sit in a waiting room with your robe on and I don't like that too much, this was nice, each room is quite private, cozy and welcoming. I really liked all the decor. \r
The prices are pretty decent too, WAY cheaper than Boston or Cambridge!\r
Parking is a plenty out front on the street. \r
I refuse to go back to the old massage places again and can't wait to try this place postpartum. \r
Someone recommended this place to me, I probably never would have gone in if not, but I will recommend it to everyone I know now! The location is unexpected and a tad strange but once you are inside it's a great place!
Pros: super relaxing atmosphere, cheap and lots of parking
Cons: thought the music was lame
