I've been meaning to write a review of this fantastic spa since I began going here two years ago. After today's transcendent massage, it's time. First, the spa itself is clean, private, and quiet--perfect ambiance for a massage. I'm not sure what the current renovations will do to improve the rooms and lobby, but I'm sure it will upgrade the atmosphere (or I hope). The reason I go back, though, is because of masseuse, Marrwah. I can't vouch for the other masseuses, but I'd been searching for years for a masseuse, who understood the mind-body connection and how to navigate pressure points and work through muscle aches and stress related problem areas. Luckily, I decided to stop in here and randomly found Marrwah. Quite simply, she's the Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion of massage: the best. One hour with her precise, thoughtfully organized, rigorous (but not rough and careless--always a hazard with other masseuses) massages transform the body and last for days. We're talking magic hands. I'm a writer, so I deal with back and shoulder issues from sitting, and after one session, I'm loose and renewed. It also helps that she's a great person--friendly, polite, and engaging. I know this sounds like a shill, but it's not. I firmly believe great work should be recognized and lauded. I cannot recommend her highly enough. And that is coming from a music critic who spends his life criticizing things for a living.
