when I arrived I was given a drink and was relaxing at that time Dave was asking me me various prefernces. the massage was a very senous experience as he was getting to know my body. He takes his time It is not a wham bam thank you mam experience. It was the best I have ever had. He was encouraging me to relax and to let him take control. I found out things about myself that I never knew. I am looking forward to our next appointment
