Space: Massage therapy room is in the basement of a neat herbal shop. The hallway in the basement is a bit musty but the therapy room itself has updated ventilation and doesn't smell like a basement. There is some overhead foot traffic (the shop above has hardwood floors), which I suppose some people could find distracting. The sounds were easy for me to tune out, though. Massage: If you believe in this sort of thing, Tamara is a healer. She combines technical knowledge with an intent to heal. She really listens and respects you (versus someone who nods their head and then does their thing regardless of what you've just specified). I derive the most benefit from distal work (feet/hands) with a shiatsu- or reflexology-type approach, which I described to Tamara. Tamara has told me repeatedly that she does not have formal training in shiatsu, and limited formal training in reflexology (at the time of this review), but I keep telling her that I feel way better after she's worked on my feet and hands, versus most massage therapists with 20+ years of shiatsu or reflexology experience. She's a gem.

I was given a Groupon as a gift for a 70 minute massage. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to contact the business or get a call back so I’ll be getting my money back. Really disappointed in my experience.

Massages are great, even if the location is a bit strange.
