Massage treatments are fraught with eager trepidation. You look forward to them because your body/mind is screaming for relaxation and calm, simple requests. Yet you often walk away wishing for a little bit more. Happily, I was very pleased with my massage at Amanda's. It's located on the 2nd floor of a super-cute craftman house (first floor is a yoga studio). Pamela was my massage therapist. Experience oozes from her fingertips! She knows what she's doing. Her manner was calming; she doesn't ruin the experience by talking ad nauseum. She worked on all my trouble spots (she'll ask you) and then some. I will absolutely re-book with Pamela. For all you prego ladies, she is also experienced with prenatal/postnatal massage.
When I got a manicure there, Whitney did the honors. The mani might seem pricey but it's worth it. The polish lasts for well over a week which has everything to do with the application technique. The space doesn't reek of chemicals because of the brand of polish used and they don't do fake nails. Plus, the ambience is so relaxing- it really feels like a treatment.
I'm booking a facial next..after my massage.
