I was scared at first because of my herniated back injury that I got a decade ago but wow my back is like brand new. The best massage I’ve ever gotten omggggg , obsessed! Might have to invest in massages biweekly just like how I invest in my therapy
I love coming here mainly because of the level of attention I get. I’ve seen Apo and Neeya and am very happy with their skills and services. They both are also so sweet and kind.
I do think the spa could use a good deep cleaning because the last time I went in it was humid and smelled a little musty.
But overall I love coming back here and will continue to do so.
I am a massage therapist myself, and Cayla (Sripai) is one of the only massage therapists I trust to give an amazing session. I usually get the 90 minute Thai deep tissue, and each time, Sripai goes above and beyond. She is an incredibly intuitive and strong bodyworker with great sensitivity and understanding of the body. I am always amazed at how different each session is, and the variety of techniques she has in her toolbox. I have a few quirks with my body and some areas are extra sensitive, and Sripai is always super responsive and careful in those areas when I tell her. Her flow is perfect, pressure is always exactly how I want it, and you can tell she really cares....read full review
